HARNESS. AND SADDLE.

]. Malcolm Forbes, of Boston, who died not
long ago. was an enthusiastic admirer Of the
highest type of the American trotter. He paid
$4,000 for Arion, the largest sum ever given
for n harness horse. The investment was by no
means remuneratlve, but Mr. Forbes was like
Robert Bonner, in that he did not purchase fast
animals TO make money out of them. With am
ple means for the qualification Of his tastes and
fancies he was willing TO spend huge amount
for q horse which he considered truly great in
his line Mr. Forbes did not bet, nor did Mr..
Bonner. Mr. Forbes did not seek to get profit
Inv trials and exhibitions with his fast horses.
nor did Mr. Bonner. Both of these public spirit
ed. high minded American owners of noted trot-
ters would have been pleased had their breed
ing farms brought in handsome revenues from
regular sales No reasonable person could pos
sibly find fault with clean and honorable an
ambition. But neither of the two masters Of
the development of the horse filled his stables
with the finest specimens which could be ac-
quired at any price anywhere with the predomi-
nant purpose Of charging his store OF worldly
wealth.
1t was no niggardly sum which Mr.. FORBES
paid for Arion-S125o coo Mr.. Blanc, Of France
however, spent more than the equivalent OF

WILL Ir BE cHAIRMAN IRooT?

WILL TT BE CHAIRMAN ROOT? If the retirement is rendered impera- tive by his health, the report that Presi- dent Roosevelt himself has suggested Mr, Root for the possible vacancy does credit to the Presidents political saga city. MT. Root is one of the large men of the country, and he is one of the men whom the country trusts. He is astute, has executive capacity and intimately understands politics-including that most difficult branch of the science and most important one at this time, New York politics. MT. Root would not come to the head of the national committed under the necessity of getting acquaint- ed with political and business leaders
 He knows them already, and they know him. A campaign under his management would be prosecuted with aggressiveness and resource just where the Democrats have hoped to find tinaid- ity and weakness. Every natural Re publican would cordially work under him.
 Secretary Root, it is said, would be reluctant to take the chairmanship. He ha devoted several years to the public ser ice at the sacrifice of his private business, and has long been planning to retu n to his law practice with the hono 's he has won by his admirable work as Secretary Of War. His friend ship for the President and his devotion to the Republican party are such, how ever that there should be an excellent prospect of overcoming his reluctance. He has not hitherto stunned posts of labor when he was needed in them. It would not be like him to do it now. The office is one of dignity and power worthy of his reputation.-New York Tribune.

PAY rnEM rnoMPrLr.

Yesterday many people got in their mail pieces of paper with figures on them. These figures mean something. and it will be good for business and good for good feeling if their meaning is promptly recognized and acted on.
 They mean that merchants and others want money and need it to pay their own bills with and thus keep the busi- ness machinery going smoothly. Noth- ing better can be done to make the be- ginning of the new Year happy than to pay all the bills promptly. Such payment blesses both those who pay and those who are paid, and then a general blessing diffuses itself around.

MIR. HoAR ON ELEPHANTS.

 We regret that MT. Hoars already celebrated discovery as to the female elephant has led some of our learned correspondent to accuse him of ''bor- rowing" a smile from Edmund Burke. Before Introducing the great discovery which, if substantiated. will put his name high on the roll of naturalists, MT. Hoar gave full faith and credit to Mir. Burke:
 During the impeachment of Warren Hastings when the lawyers in the House of Commons complained of the delays and the slow process of the trial, Burke answered that when these gen. tlemen cited the precedents of their own courts as guides for the procedure of that great tribunal, it was as if a rab- bit that bred four times a year should seek to prescribe the period necessary for the gestation of an elephant"
 So far literature. There lay the sim ile, lifeless. merely literary. MT. Hoar touched it with the magic rod of genius and transformed it into marvel and glory of science:
 Certainly the reverse is the case. The elephant that breeds once ill twelve months can afford no rule for judging

No more cheering news has come out of the West for some time than the news that the Supreme court of Oregon has decided that the initiative and referendum amendment adopted by the people of Oregon is constitutional. This decision clears the way to the begin nfrg of an experiment in government tF like of which has not been tried an where else in the world The scheme goes beyond even that which hapA Along been in operation in Switzer- la3 Under the initiative power it is not to be permitted to eight per cent. of 5the voters of the State to propose any constitutional amendments they may see fit, and these proposed amend ments must De submitted to the elec- tors at the next general elections; if a majority of the votes are cast in favor of the amendments they at once be- come part Of the Constitution; popular enactnents in that form are beyond the control of any power except that of the Constitution of the United States, and this. under our form of Federal government, is very limited super vision indeed.

NEW ATTACK ON as oLD MOTH.

Our neigfbor Massachusetts has spent nearly a million dollars for the
 extermination of the gypsy moth, with
 out exterminating it, and now new
 move is to be made. A law is pending
 before the Massachusetts legislature
 which provides that upon the complaint of the mayor or board of selectmen of
 any city or town stating that pupae, nests or eggs of the gypsy moth exist
 in such city or town the State board of agriculture shall be directed to main- tain an inspection of such city or town for the purpose of furnishing informa-
 ton as to the location of danger from these nuisances. For this purpose the board and it's agents are given the right to enter upon any public or private
 land for the purpose of investigation.
 And when such pupae, nests and eggs of the gypsy moth are found the board
 shall order the owner to destroy the
 same within fourteen days, or within
 further time as the board considers
 ;asonable after notice. Tn the case of public ways the destruction shall be by the cities and towns within which the pests are located. In case the owner does not obey the order and destroy the
 nests and eggs upon his premises the public authorities shall do the work for him, and he shall pay the cost. The
 city or town failing in it's duty is also to be liable for this expense. For this
 work q reasonable appropriation is to be made, to be expended by the State board of agriculture.
 This appears to be a little more direct
 than the old plan was. It has been suspected in Massachusetts that the
 gypsy moth was determined to last as
 long as the State appropriations did.
