knows that the Federal Administration has
no more influence upon agricultural pro

power all responsibility for the present

GRANTS CHARGES.

From his earliest boyhood General
Grant was an expert rider, and like
Washington, he possessed mysterl-
GUS power over horses. He ridiculed
the idea that he could be thrown. SO
long as the horse kept on his feet. He
asked but one thing of steed, and
that was that he should 60. No Mexi-
can vaquero, Bedouin sheik or Amerl-
can cowboy had firmer seat, or more
resembled centaur. Early in the
Mexican war Grant purchased a SUI
perb stallion that had just been cap
tured from a herd of wild Texas
horses. He was blindfolded and
then saddled for the first time.
The young lieutenant, springing
lightly into the saddle, ordered
the blindfold removed, when the
untamed steed bounded like bull,
reared, leaped, threw his head almost
to the ground, sprang first to the right
and then to the left in his efforts to
unseat his rider; but finding all his
efforts futile, he dashed away at ter
rife rate of speed, soon disappearing
in the distant chaparral. General
Longstreet, who after more than half
a century recalls the incident, in a let
ter to the present writer, states that
no anxiety was felt concerning Grants
safety, who was then, as well as pre-
viously while cadet at the Military
Academy, universally recognized as
an accomplished and fearless horse
man. OF Cortez, as Lieutenant Grant
named his wild charger, he wrote in
his Personal Memoirs:
Il had, however, but little difficulty
in breaking him, although the first
day there were frequent disagreements
between us as to which way we should
go, and sometimes as to whether we
should go at all. At no time during
the day could choose exactly the part

A Polite Stranger.

A big, fine-looking man sat in the
corner of Brooklyn car reading his
newspaper. Next to him sat little
woman in an up-to-date frock. She
had a box of candy in one hand and
an opera libretto in the other, says the
New York Telegraph. She tried to
get a newspaper from a newsboy who
came through the car. but the con-
ductor broke up the transaction, and,
Selling the small newsdealer, put him
down on the pavement Then the
pretty woman in the up-to-date frock
paid her fare in pennies and smiled.
The big mans newspaper was spread
out before her eyes, and she glanced at
the headlines. Then she read half a
column about thrilling rescue OF a
typewriter girl by a gallant fireman.
She glanced sideways at the big man.
Apparently he was taking no notice.
She began on story Of burglars in
a south side fat, how they bound and
gagged a woman. stole her sealskin
sacque and "Oh, the horrid
things," she exclaimed exeitedly. The
big man looked around inquiringly.

wonderful, Man of the Sea.

Admiral Sir Henry Keppel is a won
derful old man of the sea. On the
verge Of ninety-two, he has left his
comfortable chambers in the Albany
and undertaken long voyage to Brit
ish North Borneo. The British North
Borneo Herald, describing his arrival
at Labuan, calls him "a miracle of hui
man vitality" He is no stranger to
that remote corner of the empire.
Fifty years ago he was chasing pirates
in Bornean waters and storming their
strongholds. He has ever since re-
tanned an active interest In the British
possessions of the far east, and has de-
voted good deal of time to his duties
as a director of the British North Bor-
neo company. His Expedition to Bor-
neo, with Rajah Brookes Journal"
was published in 1847.

Rank of Gen. Miles

The regular army has never been as
large as it is at present, yet it has been
commanded by lieutenant general six
times during its history. In making
the argument that nations having ar
mics make the commanding officer one
grade higher than that of the highest
officer below him in service, Germany
is pointed out with sixty-three field
marshals general-a rank unknown
here-while of officers of that rank
England has seventy-one; Russia, 100;
Italy, five; Denmark, one; Japan, four;
Sweden, one, and Brazil, four, the
grade being equal to that of general
in the army of the United States. OF
lieutenant generals every European
nation with an army has a plentiful
supply. Spain has fifteen, and she
has also 21S major generals. The use
of Spain as an illustration is not urged
with point, for supply Of major gen.
erals does not appear to have helped
her much in war.-New York Times.

near,

The dream of ages, and of seers
foretold,
A day of kinder motive, bondless, free,
The century-tide, where meet the
New and Old.
In clash of hungry steel and din of
hate,
We hear the echo Of dying past;
We pray it jangle not the newborn
state,
Nor that its clang this pregnant
year outlast.
For dispensation new the world hath
need
OF peace on earth and Gods good
will to men,
Where Love shall make new war-on
lust of greed,
And old war steel shall thirst Tor
blood in vain.
And what have we to gain of arms We
bear,
Ee nations army-mad, in fevered
strife;
what measure shall we mete for blood
we spare,
For waste of treasure and for sunk
en- life?

BRYANIsM APPLY DIAGNOSED.

Bryanism is a patchwork of absurdi-
ties, a medley of contradictions, q
crazy quilt of fantastic fallacies. Bry-
anism is the half-tone federalism that
abused Jefferson for the purchase OF
Louisiana; it is the full tone Hartford
convention that abused Madison and In
every way it could INSTRUCTED our little
army and navy in the war Of 1872; 1t
is the communism of the Mexican war
that cared not IL our invading army
should be welcomed with bloody hands
to hospitable graves. Organism. 1t is to
the country at this time what Vallan-
~dinghamism was In the country in the
dark days of the rebellion.
The above vigorous language Is not
from the mouth of impetuous Teddy
Roosevelt. This arraignment OF Bryan
archy fell from the lips of Judge j. @.
Mitchell of Ottumwa, Ia, a lifelong
Democrat, who has announced that in
the future his vote will be cast on the
side OF Republicanism. Mr.. Mitchell
prepared in the Wapello county RepuL-
lican convention last week and was
formally admitted to membership in
the Republican party, explaining that
he had swallowed the 16 to 1 dose In
1896. but that this year his stomach
was unable to retain it.

MIR. EpMUNps FOR MKINLEY.

An interview with George F. Ed
munds removes all doubts as to his po-
litical whereabouts. 1T is pretty well
settled" he says, that we will have
either Mckinley or Bryan, and l would
be unwilling to trust the country to the
men that Bryan has around him." Re-
ferring to a report that Bryan, IL elect
ed, might make Altgeld a supreme
court justice, he says: II suppose 1t is
a fake, but at the same time it sets one
to thinking or what is likely to hap
pen. Altgeld may be honest, Bryan
may be honest. | believe, for that mat
ter, that the majority Of the anarchists
are honest. but 1t is the ideas they
have, and which they may try to carry
out, that make them unsafe" So, "al-
though against expansion, | believe the
good OF the country demands the re-
election of President Mckinley"
