Letter-Writing.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Whenever volume of the letters OF some
famous person of half a century ago is
published, there is q wall that the day of
letter writing is past. There may appear 70
be sporadic exceptions to the complaint,
but on more than one occasion 1t has been
found that the exceptions are probably fic-
t,tious correspondence. and therefore have
no claim to come under the head of letter.
writing. Putting aside, however, the few
probably fictitious volumes OF letters
there is very little doubt that the last hai1
century will not be as worthfly represented
in the annals Of epistolary literature as
some former periods have BEEN AS for the
present generation, perhaps we had better
say as little as possible What have~we OF
recent years which can compare with the
letters more than 900 in number. of Hor-

REAL BUCKING BRoNCHos.
Simon Pure Ones Will Soon Be as
Scarce as Buffaloes.

From the Denver News.
The outlaw horse for years past the hero
of broncho-busting in the south and west is
rapidly becoming thing of the past, and in
ten years will be more scarce than the fast
dying buffalo and the time cowboy ac-
cording to John NJ. Kuykendall, who makes
a speciality of collecting the widest horses
that can be procured for bucking contests
Ten years ago the outlaw was as plenti-
full as jack rabbits" said Mr.. Kuyken-
dali, but 1 have only been able to get
about thirty real buckers that will put up a
good fight out of $1,000 horses that l have
looked at during the last year. The outlaw
horse comes from the poorest blooded that
roam the ranges of the west He is a crlmt-
nal among horses, just as surely as men
who go wrong have bad blood IN their veins.
His parents are in nearly every case mus
tangs and the stock is the same that
which roamed the plains of the west in the
early days and degenerated through use
leSSnesS.
Nearly any horse will buck" he declared
IF you turn him loose in a pasture for sew
eral months and then try to ride him. but
he will only kick up few times and then
quit. The outlaw will buck, though, after
he has been ridden successfully, just as
soon as another man gets on his back. 1t
takes years to break him of the habit, and
he is never safe. If he ever gets a chance
he will start out bucking again and he
always is dangerous.
You rarely hear of a famous bucker now
although ten or twelve years ago every
large range had several outlaws that no.
body could ride. The cowboys ride
as well as the old-time cowboys and they
are not degenerating. The breed Of horses
throughout the country is improving stead
lily and this Is the death knell Of the outlaw.
1t will take away some of the most pictur-
esque WESTERN life when they go entirely,
but that is going rapidly anyway, and
horse owners will be the gamers"

SWEEPING VICTORY CONFIRMED
Latest Returns Show That Nebraska
Republicans Win.

OMAHA, Neb., November S.-Although
the returns from over the state of Ne
braska are quite incomplete, those coming
in since midnight Tuesday night only serve
to confirm the sweeping republican victory
indicated by the earlier reports. In Doug
las county (Omaha) the democrats were
able to secure but one office-that of police
judge of South Omaha. Jules Hubbard
who has a national reputation as a singer
and who campaigned with Abraham Lin
coin, was defeated for police judge or
Omaha, although his election had been
practically conceded by both sides.
The entire state ticket was captured by
the republicans by majorities larger IN
many instances than those of two years
ago.
LINCOLN, Neb., November S.-Reports
from nearly all election precincts in Nebras
ka have been received and 1t is apparent
that Letton, republican candidate for SUI
preme judge, has plurality of $4,000 over
Hastings (fusionlsD. This plurality Is about
double the plurality given the republican
candidate for supreme judge two years
ago. The republican candidates for uni
versity regent, who were attacked by the
fusionsts because of q large money gilt
to the university from John ID. Rookie
Teller, have run slightly ahead of their own
ticket

Dunno Interested Over New York.
Mayor Dunno protested more interest in
New York's election than in the battle OF
ballots in his own city. He said last night
whether Mr.. Hearst was elected or de-
feated the issue was SO close that 1t dem
onstrated the tremendous hold which tho
municipal ownership sentiment has upon
the people of this country.
There was no acute situation in New
York as there was in Chicago. arising from
the fact that franchises for public utilities
had expired in this city. In Chicago we
have been fighting renewals OF franchises
that have been giving scandalously indie
cent service from the companies whose
franchises have expired. In New York no
such situation exists The situation there
was not SO acute to excite the people
and the result is wonderful proof OF the
widespread sentiment that a mum c.pal
ownership of public utilities soon must be
adopted"
Regarding the Chicago election Mayor
Dunno said
II regret exceedingly the defeat of the
democratic ticket and 1 attribute 1t to two
causes. In the first place there was no
living vital issues. The candidates were
persuaded to eliminate municipal owner
ship and run on their own personality.
Secondly, there were unfortunate dissen-
sions among the democrats. The county Is
normally republican; the sanitary district
is normally republican If the democrats
had injected a little more municipal ginger
into the campaign 1 believe they would have
elected their ticket

>CARMODY DEFEATED.
Majority Against Him Believed to Be
About 100.

Special From a STAFF Correspondent
UPPER MARLBORO, Nd. November s.
The unofficial returns from 16 districts of
this county indicate the defeat of Francis
S. Carmody, republican candidate for the
State Senate, by a majority of about 1870
by VIM B. Claggett, democrat. Carmody's
defeat Is the surprise of the election here.
He ran away ahead of his ticket in some of
the democratic strongholds but is believed
to have been cut in some of the republican
districts by disgruntled members of the
Ryan faction.
]. Enos Ray, Joseph X. Roberts, demo-
Gratis, and Charlton Sasscer republicans are
electedto the house of delegates. DR.. R. s.
HHl, democrat, is possibly defeated for the
house of delegates by Oliver S. Metzerott
republican, but an official count will be
necessary to decide.
Supporters of Carmody claim that the
official count will show much smaller
majority for the democratic candidate.
and even entertain the hope that Car
mody may pull through.
James A. Sweeney, republican, is elect
ed sheriff by about 300 400 majority
defeating George Dove the present
deputy sheriff.

from the Brooklyn Eagle.
The practice of badging our servants and
officials proceeds apace. Mldde-aged peo-
pie can recall sthe objections that were
made to the practice until well after the
war. Possibly 1t was the multitude OF uni
forms put into circulation by that mo-
mentous incident, and the honor which at
tached to them, that reconciled the public
to the extension of the habit of distinctive
dress. AS the town drunkard had no char
acteristic apparel except his rags and his
jag, so the town constable considered that
his tin star was authority enough when he
arrested the aforesaid, and as servants in
provincial towns ate with the family the
idea of putting them into livery was I'M
