We took another turn in silence, for
his strange contradictory behavior be-

If you will stop to notice the char
acter of the bits used on the horses
you will get another view Of the cruei-
L you could make an examination Of
these bits and headgear. you would he
more astonishe1 than ever.
1t would be Impossible to estimate
the suffering thut horses undergo from
high checking and from the weight OF
metal brought to bear on their frail
underjaws.
The modern fashionable bit weighs
two and a half pounds. The weight Of
that bit rests IN the lower jaw, where
the bone is the frailest Il the whole
anatomy Of the horse. There are no
teetp to prevent the big. heavy bit from
bruising the tender jawbone. At that
point there Is only a tusk. l have seen
that lone tooth so sore and tender from
where the heavy bits hit it that the
horse could hardly be bridled at all.
Besides this two-and-a-half-pound
bit, there is another bit In the horses
mouth. one to which the checkrein is
fastened. The latest fashionable check
works on a pulley. Then, with a mar
tingale fastened to the noseband and
bellyband. the horse can't even toss his
head higher, II it was a physical posi-
bility, to get the temporary rest that
that would afford him.
But we seem to be getting worse in
stead Of better. The latest Invention
is a bit with a tremendous paw run-
ming back and squeezing the horses
tongue down 80 that he cannot move
1t.
This last effort of fashion, OF course,
Is to keep the horses tongue from loll-
Ing from his mouth when he is checked
80 high that in his agony he lets the
tongue out to try some change to re-
lieve he pain. Though the bulldog In
the seat Of the carriage may have his
tongue hanging out without showing
bad form, still for the hot, prancing
horse to do it is simply intolerable!
II you want to imagine something OF
the agony of the modern fashionable
carriage horse, go to any swell harness
store and lift the head stall with the
bits in place. And any horse will &C
better with a plain snaf1e bit. Its
weight Is one-tenth that Of the other
and the horse obeys the rein quicker
But the objection to the snaiile bit /.
that . horse will act naturally ; he vii
look around and enjoy bis work. II b.

SENATOR DGPEW. the voters dependent upon the rail-
ways for their living.
The demand upon the railroads Of the country Is now
greater than they can answer. Conditions Of ten years
ago have changed, and the farmers who are now revel-
ing in prosperity need more railroads to transport the
fruits Of their labor.
The railroad plant is insufficient to meet the demands
of the country, and the country is growing more rapidly
than railway mileage or equipment construction. l am
not one of those who fear that socialism, or advanced
radicalism, or untried theories put into unwise prac-
tice are to be carried into effect to such an extent as to
produce financial or industrial paralysis. 1 believe that
these great corporations should be under the rigid super
vision of the States and Of the general government.
Because Of the present marvellous development the
American people want railways built, and they believe
that those who take the risks should have a fair return
upon their money. The millions Of people who make
direct investments or indirect ones through their depos-
it's in savings banks and other institutions, and that vast
army Of labor, comprising one-ffth Of our electorate,
who are dependent upon railway prosperitysor their liv-
ing, are the substantial basis Of the safety of the present
and the growth of the future.
