Weigh, Of Hors.

Many people. even among those who
frequently make use Of horses have
little idea what an ordinary horse
weighs and would have much difficulty
to guess whether u given animal stand
ing before their eyes weighed 500 or
800 pounds. Yet they would have
no such difficulty with n man and prob.
ably be able to guess, especially if they
were good Yankees, within ten or TWEEN
ty pounds of his weight. The govern
ments of Europe have long been pur-
chasing and weighing horses for the
military service and transferring them
from carriage or draft employment to
the various branches of cavalry and
artillery. Tho animals are ordinarily
assigned according to weight. The
French military authorities find that
an ordinary light carriage or riding
horse, such as in the United States
would be called II good little buggy
horse" weighs from 300 to 400 kilo-
grams-Say from 500 to 300 pounds.
Such horses us these are assigned to the
light cavalry corps. The next grade
above, which in civil life passes ms IA
coupe horse or carriage horse of
medium weight, ranges i'll weight up to
$50 Kilograms, about 1850 pounds,
This horse goes to help mount the
cavalry of the line.
Next come the fashionable "coacl
horses" of persons of luxury, which
weigh from 800 to $50 Kilograms, OF
from 1000 to nearly 1900 pounds.
These horses go to serve the purpose of
drill for the cavalry belonging to the
reserve military forces. Above these
there are still two grades of heavy
horses. The first are those used for
ordinary draft purposes and are
commonly found drawing the omni.
buses of Paris where such vehicles are
still i'll use. These weigh from /, 100 to
1000 pounds. The heaviest horses are
the Clydesdales and Percherons, which
are oxen in size and strength and which
weigh from 600 to 800 and sometimes
even up to 900 Kilograms that is, from
1900 up to nearly 1000 pounds. None
of these Percherons of the heaviest
weight are used in the military service.
but some of the lighter ones are en-
ployed for draft and artillery purposes.

VIII 1t Bind Them,

Chairman HUMPHREYS Of the republi-
can state committee and Chairman
Somers of the democratic state commit
tee have entered into an agreement
binding the legislative candidates of
both parties to abide by the popular
vote for United States senator.
The agreement is in pursuance
of the resolutions passed by the state
conventions of both parties. 1t con-
cludes rs follows:
Now, therefore, i'll accordance with
the above resolution the democratic
party of the State of Nevada and the
republican party of the State of Ne
vada, hereby pledge their candidates
for the legislature TO vote for the per-
son receiving the highest number of
votes for United States Senator with
out regard to party utilization; the same
to be certified to by the secretary OF
state to have been cast mt the general
election to be held in the State of Ne
vada on the Bird day of November, zoos.
1T is further mutually understood
and agreed by the respective parties
hereto that all hold.oyer senators be.
longing to each party are hereby
pledged by their respective parties to
the faithful carrying out of the above
agreement, and to cast their vote for
the person receiving the highest number
of votes for United States senator.
ITO the faithful fulfllment of the
above. we pledge the good faith of the
political parties hereto"
1t will be noticed that the above
agreement binds or attempts to bind the
hold-over senators of both parties.
These senators were elected us demo
Gratis and republicans two years ago
and were pledged by their respective
parties to vote for Il United States
senator of their own political faith.
Now, the question arises rs to tho
right OF the state committees to release
them from that pledge and bind them
to vote for some particular candidate
not of their party faith.
1t looks to the writer us if the state
committees were exceeding their author
ity and that their agreement will not be
binding upon the hold.Ovcr senator's.
What right has the present democratic
state committee to say to Senators
Corycll aud Hunter you shall vote for
Mr.. Flanagan for United States senator
when they were pledged two years ago
to vote for democratic United States
senator and We're elected on that
pledgeT
