The appeal OF an agent for Great
Britain in western city for thorough
breds that are not good enough 20

opens mp an unexpected market fol-
such horses which may raise their
market price in the East. There il
probably no more useless piece of prop.
erty from track mans point Of view
than horse with q record that has
been badly outclassed. Such horses
cannot be raced with profit and their
track training makes them practically
useless for any other work than under
the saddle. A few Of them find a mar.
ket for use az saddle horses. At the
close Of the season the failures
which are hopelessly out OF the run
ming are almost given away because
they are not worth the keeping. One
such horse which was outclassed in his
second season was given away by his
owner 70 n man who thought that he
could use him for hunting in Florida.
The new owner shipped his horse
South and the ex-racetrack favorite
made such a favorable impression that
he ultimately sold him for $1,000, much
to the surprise Of the man who had
given him away. If England can use
these horses for her cavalry the men
who owl racing stables will be glad to
furnish her with thorouqhbreds who
are classed as hasbeens.

to this request the artilleryman had
written long letter, filed with blood

Miss Frisbee had received another

the idea of a reconciliation, between
the lovers, after learning from Susan

THEIR HERoIsM.

The very complete and detailed reports
which have been published CT the expert
ence OF the American soldiers and ma
rines at the battle Of Tfen Tsin, add one
more testimonials to the numerous others
which have beel furnished to this gen
Grafton Of American heroism through the
war with Spain. The record made by
the Ninth infantry in China is one wor-
thy of the best traditions of the Amerl-
can army Placed in an almost unendur-
able position the victims Of ill-considered
or Misunderstood orders, they faced death
with all the heroism of men whose sense
Of duty might be described as sublime.
1t was bloody and a fatal onset; and
until the full knowledge of the circum-
stances leading up to it is had it will not
be possible to say whether 1t should ever
have been made, or whether our soldiers
were at all justified in attacking the
Chinese position. But whatever the cir
cumstances may prove to be, every
American will feel none the less of graft
flcation at the splendid heroism revealed.
The cost Of our participation in the
capture of Ten Tsin, involving, as it did,
the death of so many brave men and the
wounds and hardship imposed on the sur
vivors, was great enough to make every
man wish that the day will soon come
when the American soldier and sailor
will be relieved from the possibility Of
shedding his blood on foreign soil. No
national policy which makes such saeri-
fees necessary, save in defense of the
national honor, will ever receive the
sanction of the American people.

renee Of such events may be lookeg Tor
almost with certainty in any like sltua
ton which may spring up. The trouble
lies in a bIoodthirsty spirit which has
been not only allowed to prevail. but has
been cultivated among and by the people
thernsely 20. During the prevailing trial
the court issued an order that spectators
should not enter the court armed or
carrying deadly weapons. The order, so
far as the news reports Indicate, never
was regarded as seriously, and no pur-
pose was ever indicated On the part Of
those charged With It's enforcement to b.
serve their directions. The fact that dur
ing an entire day, while all men seeking
entrance had been searched for weapons
ana none had been found, might not be
accepte2 as proof that the order is sim
ply ignored. Yet. considering the uni
versal practice Of carrying weapons, the
conclusion that the order is generally ig-
nored is not unreasonable.
Those who are now in control Of the
public life Of Kentucky should take steps
to bring to an end conditions which
make appeal to the loaded weapon uni
versal in cases of private or public quar-
rel To do this all the power Of public
authority must be invoked. 1t must be
invoked against hostile popular senti-
ment Those in power must take all the
responsibility of enforcing the existing
law if it be adequate, and, If it be not,
they must secure the enactment of such
laws as when enforced will put an end
to the universal practice of carrying
weapons. If law and order is to domi-
nate in Kentucky in this generation, and
such infamous scenes as those attending
the recent political contest are to be
rendered impossible, public authority
nust do the work. The result of the COM
ing election will decide which Of the two
warning factions shall be IN control.
Whichever of the parties is successful
will be held responsible if a new era
does not dawn in Kentucky marking the
end Of strife and bloodshed in the adj
justment Of personal or political dis
putes.

From time to time the hopelessly IN
sular and unprogressive character of New
York society presents itself In some start
ling revelation or other, which is wholly
inexplicable to the rest of the world, be-
cause the rest Of the world usually looks
upon the great American metropolis as
the very center of modern advancement.
Perhaps in no direction has New York
shown its utter inadequacy to the de-
mands made upon it by the rush of bust
ness and social life within its borders as
in the matter of local passenger trans
portation. It is only within the past few
months that the true idea Is dawning on
those in charge Of the street car inter-
ests of the city. It is true, for instance,
that horses are still to be seen, or were
until within few weeks, pulling street
cars through the very heart of the city.
1t Is true, too, that even now the anti
quated system of cable cars Is in opera
ton
They have elevated and surface cars,
morse cars ana caDI6 cars trolley cars
and compressed air cars; but their facin-
ties are today utterly inadequate to the
demands made on them. Were such con-
ditions prevailing even in a comparatively
backward Western community, the cor
poration responsible for them would be
disfranchised.
It is only within a few days that
changes have been contemplated which
will supercede the use of horses on GER
tain cross-town lines, or that the cable
has come to be regarded as perhaps not
after all the safest and altogether most
acceptable form of street car motor yet
devised. And even the air cars in opera
ton up to the present, about which con-
siderable Boosting was done when they
were introduced, as foul-smellfng and
wretched contrivances of the kind as were
ever designed, are found in operation so
undesirable as to demand immediate sub
stitution.

Substitute Republican for Democrat and

ways. There was some contest in the
