that turns white with age. II was
about this time too that Shorthorn
cattle had to be solid red in color to
be considered fashionable and worthy
of place "a the pedigreed herds OF
the country. But how the fashions do
change to be sure! Almost instantly
In answer to the demand for black
French horses the imported Percheron
assumed a Jet black coat such as had
old Brilliant and the grey horse seemed
to be back number. Just about
then, too, the red Shorthorns were en-
countered by good old fashioned COL
ored Scotch Shorthorns of red, roam
and white coats and routed, too. and
since then the solid red color has prac-
ucally ceased to be considered an i'm
peratiye necessity. This was a COM
mon sense move for 1t should always
be remembered that a good beast is
always a good color. whereas a fash
ionable coat may and does often hide
a multitude OF evils in beast and body
alike. We cannot say that a good
French horse was a better horse when
black skinned than was his grey coll
ored equal, and now we are glad to
see that the Clydesdale folk have de-
cided to admit to registry grey col
ored Clydesdale mares. many Of which
by the way were in every way eqlal
to their bay and brown sisters as
proved in pillow and wagon. We pre-
sumo that this change OF policy as re-
CARDS grey Clydes is partly due to this
fact that in Great Britain Just at pres
ent grey horses are in demand and
scarce, although it is but few years
since a grey carriage horse was quite
vulgar in the estimation Of the upper
strata" of society who are the de-
scendants of the good old-fashioned
couples who simply would not have
thclght OF driving to church on their
wedding day behind anything except
pair of four-in-hand OF dapple greys.
Grey horses, too, are in demand for
cavalry purposes in the British army
and this may have had something to
do with the return OF grey into favor
among breeders and dealers who are
also not so particular now to reject
horse because he is some shade OF
chestnut or so-called "sorrel." Prac-
teal results are after all the main OBJ
jects Of the breeder Of any class OF
animals and In our opinion color
should not be set up as a barrier to
progress so long as one particular
color or combination OF color (as with
Aberdeen-Angus and Hereford cattle)
Is not the recognized peculiar charac-
teristic of the breed.
We welcome the grey horse back to
favor and will ever congratulate
breeders who see above and beyond
the mere fad Of color.

Many Claims for Pensions.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Commissioner
of Pensions Evans says claims for
widows and orphans of soldiers in the
civil war, and the claims for pensions
due to the late Spanish war are COM
ing in as fast Us the pension roll Is
diminished by the deaths Of veterans
OF the civil war. This will be increased
by the addition Of their widows and
the veterans of the late war, SO that
the payment Of pensions at the rate
OF $3.50, 100000 annually promises to
continue for many years. With the
revenues Of the country swollen by
nearly 0O,OOO.OOO from the war-rev-
enue tax, expenditures for pensions
still amount to 25 per cent Of the gross
annual income Of the government, and
more than 100 bills have been intro
duced in congress to provide addition
al special pensions.

Increase In India Famine.

London, Jan. "A Daily Mail spe-
cial from Calcutta says the famine is
increasing to an alarming extent and
according to the latest published re-
surns the scarcity and famine extend
over an area of nearly 100000 square
mics, with a population of 52,5OO,O 900,
of which 100000 square miles. with a
population of &c, 100000. is British ter
ritory. OF the latter about 10000
have already been relieved by the
state, although only at the outset OF
the famine. During the last three
weeks the numbers are increasing at
the rate of quarter million week
and their relief means monthly ex-
penditure of over G35,O00.

Opposition viii Not Delay Passage
of the Financial Bill.
DEBATE OVER QUAY CONTEST.
The Case Is Liable to Cause Animated
Discussion Samoan Treaty to Bs
brought Up-Business In the House
Not of Much importance

Washington, Jan. with tho re-
senate will practically begin the real
work of the session., There is no pres
ent purpose on the part of the opposi-
ton to delay the passage Of the finan-
cial bill unnecessarily, and none on
the part of its supporters to press the
measure to the personal inconvenience
Of opposing senators. Those senators
who are antagonistic to the bill freely
confess their inability to defeat it.
saying that it will get practically the
entire republican vote IL needed, and
probably one or two democratic votes
1t now seems probable that there
will be more debate over the Quay con-
test than over the financial measure.
Up to date not more than half dozen
senators have announced a purpose to
make set financial speeches, while the
probabilities are that the Quay case
will call out much animated discussion.
There will be an early effort to get
up the Samoan treaty, and 1t may fur
nish the basis for discussion Of the
foreign policy If one is not found be-
fore the treaty is considered.
The coming week in the house does
not give promise Of much business.
The committees have not yet begun
active work and no legislation of
pressing importance has been reported.
The appropriations committee has not
yet considered the urgent deficiency
bill, although the measure has been
prepared. This bill may be brought in
during the week IL there should be a
request from the executive depart
ments asking its early passage. AS
the bill will carry nearly s50,000,000
for the army, most Of which is on &C
count of the Philippines, it is quite
likely there will be considerable dis
cussion Of the Philippine policy while
the measure is before the house.

Omaha, Neb.. Jan. 2.-Nearly 200
prominent Irish-Americans assembled
Sunday in response to a call for a
meeting of those who favored home
rule for Ireland. 1t developed that a
preliminary committee had been Sc
cretly appointed a week ago for the
reorganization Of a local branch Of
the Irish National Land league. The
organization will be effected next Sun
day. The plan is said to be to send
men and money to aid the Beers and
to threaten an invasion Of Canada to
prevent the sending of troops from
that country to the Transvaal.

SympathIeS Are with Britnin,

Moscow, Jan. 2.-The Japanese lega-
ton at St. Petersburg has received
from Toyko dispatch which says that
the home government is annoyed and
alarmed by the recent British defeats
in South Africa, and secret cabinet
meetings are being held to consider
Japanese questions in which, directly
or indirectly, Great Britain and its
power are factors. Japan sympathizes
strongly with Great Britain in the
Transvaal conflict, in connection with
which fact one must consider the grow
ing cordially Of relations between
Japan and China.

Manila, Jan. There is much spec
ulation here regarding the selection
of Gen. Lawton's successor to the
southern command of Luzon. Both
Gen. Joseph Wheeler and Gen. Bates
are prominently mentioned, the for
mer being the senior brigadier-general
and lineally entitled to the command.
Gen. Wheeler says, however, that no
selection has as yet been determined
upon.
Gen. Wheeler expects soon to re-
turn to the United States, but he does
not want to go as long as there is
fighting in the Philippines. Regard
ing the present situation, he said:
II think the fighting will be over
the south Of Manila begins. To north
ward the campaign is practically over.
and l find the friendliness Of the ma
tives toward us increasing greatly.
There are still strong insurgent
forces south Of Manila, but I think
our troops will break thcm up within
a week after We move. regard 1t as
possible that Aguinaldo has reached
the southern lines"
The American campaign south o,
Manila is soon to be prosecuted, and
the likelihood is that it will be des-
perate. 1t is reported that within tho
last six months the German ship Clara
has landed $4,000 rifles and 10,000,00o
rounds Of ammunition at Camarines.
1t is believed here that the Americans
will soon overcome opposition. but
there is little confidence that the in
surgents' arms will be captured.

The Kennebec (Maine) Journal says:
II is said to be fact that not one-halt
OF the factories in the state of Maine
are paying running expenses. They
are so thickly settled now that they
are competing among themselves for
the purchase Of the cream and in con-
sequence there Is a constant fight to
see who will pay the larger price for
the cream. Then at the sale they are
competing with one another on the
price to see who will sell the cheapest.
Thus at both ends OF the trade are
they cutting off their heads. 1t Is seen
that in the concerns that are running
on the cooperative plan, where the
farmers have what Is made after pay
ing the expenses of the factory, that
they are receiving no more than the
ones where the farmers sell for a price
outright 1t will average about the
same in both cases wnen taken for the
year round.
