The new army regulations, says the
Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune, will prohibit the
mutilation of names, tails and FORE
locks of horses. 1t is stipulated that
there shall be no alteration in the
length of these appendages by dock
ing, banging or clipping. Those in
charge of the animals shall do only
such trimming and clipping as may
be necessary to prevent shaggy ap-
pearance.

PARKER SPEAKS.
Big Time With Democratic Editors
At Esopus.

Esopus, Sept S.-Judge Parker
formally received the democratic ed
itors, in his home at Rosemount, to-
day. The reception was the occas-
ion for many speeches, the chief
among them being the speech by
Charles w. Knapp, on: behalf of the
editors, and the response by Judge
Parker.
The Arrival.
Esopus. September S.-The steam
er St. John. bearing on board the
contingent of democratic scribes,
drew up along the Rosemount dock
at eleven-twenty this morning.
All were enthusiastic and were bent
upon exhibiting it, as they cheered
the candidate Justify while the steam
er was making fast.
The trip from New York was un-
eventful. There were six hundred in
the party.
The committee and the editors
were inspired by the strains of the
"Star-Spangled Banner" rendered by
a band, as they climbed up the hill
to Parker's house.
The Judge met them at the piazza.
After general handshaking the par
ty stopped out on the lawn and
Charles w. Knapp, of St. Louis,
spoke for half an hour
The address by Nh. Knapp consist
ed mostly of eulogy on Parker,
coupled with the assurance that he
would have the heartiest and strong
est support of all the democratic edi-
tors in the country. The speaker
predicted democratic success in No
vember
Judge Parker's Response.
Judge Parker, after expressing his
pleasure in greeting at Rosemount
the representatives of the American
press, and pointing out the great
power that lay in their hands, said:
There are questions of great i'm
portance to be passed upon by the
people in November, questions that
it will be your duty and therefore,
I assume, , our pleasure as we'll, to
present honestly and clearly so that
the people may understand them" !"
Judge Parker continued and stated
that he would take up but one feature
of the republican platform.
He said, "They have displayed their
capacity for rule by government
which has been made conspicuous by
incapacity and inhrmity of purpose. "
Judge Parker said he would like to
compare the Cleveland administra-
ton with any administration of the
republicans since 1860.
The comparison, he said, would
show that under democratic control
the administration purely of the faith
ers had been observed in the conduct
of the government.
No one of its departments then
was permeated, as of late, with cor
ruption rivalling the days of the star
rule.
He said that the democratic policy
had been making successful efforts to
cut down, or rather to check, the
growth of expenditures, and that it
ended each time in cutting down the
expenses which were within the con-
troll of the executive department De-
low the expenses of the preceding
administration. After 1868 the re-
publicans had shown reckless extrav-
agance and waste of the peoples
mnoye.
Judge Parker concluded with an
appeal for perfect harmony in the
conducting of the campaign.

JOHN G. MOBLEY.
Candidate For Railroad Commission
er.

The railroad commission has be-
come an office of great importance.
Recognizing this, we nominate John
Glover Mobley, of Fairfield coun-
ty. for railroad commissioner He
is lawyer by education, and has
been admitted to the Bar OF Our
state. For a number of years he
has been engaged in farming and
dairy husbandry. and has done much
to improve the breeding of horses and
,, dairy cattle. He is a practical farmer,
thoroughly in sympathy with the ag-
ricultural interests. manufacturing
and the development Of Our resources
along the lines of industry. Al
though mere boy in '76, he rendered
most efficient service to the demo-
cratic party when radical misrule was
overthrown and white supremacy es-
tablished. He has always taken an
active part in politics, and has ever
regarded the interest of friend as
his own. He is a member Of the
military Of the state, and has been
connected with the service for many
years. He is director of the State
Agricultural and Mechanical society,
and has held that position for four
teen years. He is also president of
the South Carolina Live Stock and
Dairyman's association. In the leg
islature his ability and knowledge
of the law and his fairness were we'll
displayed; always courteous, but de-
termined in his support of the right.
In recognition of his worth, the
legislature made him a director Of
the State penitentiary almost unan-
imously. He was candidate in the
last election for railroad commission
er, and received a most handsome
vote, being third in the race of ten
candidates. At its next session the
legislature reelected him director
of the State penitentiary for the Sec
ond time by an almost unanimous
vote. Captain Mobley possesses the
golden art Of making friends. Cour-
teous in manner. and firm in char
acter. he would make a popular. as
we'll as most capable official. He
would study the problem OF trans
por1ation, and do ustice without fear
or favor. The splendid vote he re-
ceived in the last election for rail
road commissioner warrants his
friends in again placing his name in
nomination and respectfully submit
ting his qualifications and his pre-em-
inent fitness for the office to the peo-
pie of the state.

FARMS FOR RAILWAY MEN.
Pennsyivnnia's Proposed scheme to
Beaeft Its Emaioyees.

Pennsylvania Proposed scheme to
Beaeht Its Employees.
The Pennsylvania railroad has under
consideration plan BY which all Of
the thousands Of employees may. If
they 50 desire. become proprietors Of
little farms, says a Philadelphia dis
patch to the New Yorl, Mail. The
scheme eontemplates the parcellng out
Of desirable land belonging To tie rail
road company along the various lines
Of track and permitting the free use OF
this land to every employee who
wishes to put the land under cultiva-
ton
In cases where the employee himself
might not have the time to conduct 4
little truck farm the offer would hold
If the members of the employees fam
fly were willing to look after the land.
In thousands of cases such farms could
be provided within short distance Of
the homes Of the men, and Ia every
case the farm would be ia a place
that would make easy the marketing
of such produce as was not consumed
by the families Of the employees.
DR.. w. H. Telman, director of the
American Institute Of Social Science In
New York, brought the plan to the at
tentlon Of President a. j. Cassatt in a
letter which. besides advocating its adj
vantages, showed how successfully the
same idea is at present being carried
out along the lines Of railroads III
France 1t was shown that the North
ern railroad in France has provided
farms for 5000 employees, that the
Eastern road has provided farms for
$500 the Southern road for $500 ana
the Orleans road for more than COCO
employees. and that these farms, be-
sides aiding the prosperity Of the rail-
road men, also Increase the business Of
the road and add materially to the
wealth Of the entire nation.
President Cassatt replied to the let
ter in a cordial note stating that he
had considered the plan carefully and
was impressed with the figures from
France and concluded BY stating that
be had turned the letter over to the
superintendent Of the railroad with in
struetions to report upon the feasibil-
ity Of the scheme here. Along some
lines the road has not enough land
along the right Of way, but on other
lines 1t is believed that the plan could
easily be carried out

HOLLANDS AlRSHiP.
Inventor of submarine Boat Relieves
He Has solved Aerial Problem.


lie Has solved Aerial Problem.
John Holland, the inventor Of the
submarine boat, il now having built
ut d shop IN Jersey City machine
which the inventor believes not only
will solve the problem Of aerial fight,
but will enable a man to navigate the
air with much more ease and safety
than he can ride d bicycle, says the
New York Times.
This invention Is the outgrowth Of
many attempts by Mr.. Holland in past
years to arrive at a correct theory Of
Hight. Back in the sixties, before he
contemplated the construction OF a sub
marine craft he built his first model
Of a flying machine, and this was fol
lowed by several other models, but all
Of them were abandoned because, in
the Inventors opinion, they were de-
signed on an erroneous principle.
The airship now approaching compile
ton is intended to carry one person.
The material used is the finest alumni
ium. The wires are steel and as light
as the strain upon them Will permit.
The whole contrlvance weighs exactly
twenty-s six pounds,
The driving power will be purely
muscular, Mr. Holland contending that
man has enough physical energy to
propel himself through the afr under
proper conditions at the rate Of forty to
fifty miles an hour. On either side OF
the machine there will be a set Of
wings ten feet in length. operated by
four wheels, and these wings will be
moved up and down and otherwise con-
trolled at the will of the driver
