the competitors. I have also seen the

We hsvn't been able to get any Of our
Democratic contemporaries to express
their opinion about that redistricting
measure which the Virginia Legislature
passed for the purpose of stealing the
Fifth District from the Republicans.
We would like to know what the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch, The News Leader
and The Journal think of it. Are YOU
ashamed or afraid to speak out? Then.
we would like for Mr.. Copeland to give
US his estimate of it. No more dishon-
est measure was ever enacted by any
legislative body. 1t shows that the
Virginia Democracy is still desperately
wicked, and that they will avail them
selves of any opportunity and any de-

little they have been able to secure un-
der the present dishonest partisan suf

AGO Miles Of Horses.

New York, April 27.-Within the
cities comprising the metropolitan pop
ulation of $4,000. 900 persons in the
United States, there are according to
the latest equine census 2, 93S, SS1 horses
and 173, 9SS mules; a total of 8. no. 78s
or one quadruped for each ten persons
IN the districts described. While the
horse has been called the noblest and
most intelligent friend of man, this
vast number of his species, according
to Appleton's magazine, constitutes a
menace to human health which should
be abolished without delay. 1.-The
greatest enemy of municipal civilization
Is the charge that is brought against
the horse in this indictment, and the
claim is backed up by surprising array
of figures.
If any species of wild animals at
large In the American metropolis an
nually cause the death of thousands
OF people" says the Appleton article,
the beasts would be exterminated
no matter how valuable to the own
ers they might be-" The assertion is
made, based upon scientific research.
that the horse in the city is one of
the chief causes of disease and should
be eliminated. In New York alone
more than $1,000, 900, according to the
hgures of the Health Department, is
spent annually to offset the presence
OF the horse. More than 20, 900 deaths
year are laid at his door, in New
York alone, it being pointed out that
as cause of dust and an attraction
to flies, both great causes of disease.
the horse is an unequalled menace to
health.
New York City leads all others in
Its horse population with 100. 900. with
total resultant expense of s1S.OOO.-
600. Chicago with its 1859 horses
and Boston with 26,941 follow close
behind, and at the door of the horses
IN these cities, science lays thousands
OF deaths each year. Moreover, it is
claimed that American cities would be
comparatively free from disease were
1t not for flies, of which the horse
is the chief attraction.
The significant conclusion Of scien-
tific men," says the Appleton article
lis that the horse, being the principal
source of dust, disease, germs and
flies in the cities, is therefore, one of
the chief cause of the abnormal death
rate in modern municipalities. In
addition to this sanitary arrangement
OF the horse heavy economic bill is
charged against him. Based on the fig
ures collected, it is estimated that
his board bill in New York alone is
nearly 81, 500, 900 annually. Far more
important is the estimate which adds
twenty-five per cent to the cost of
vegetables, fruit, meat and other sup
plies in the city which he hauls.
Altogether the horses in New York
City if hitched one in front of the
other would form a line more than
100 miles in length, while the horses
IN all the cities of the country if
stretched in one line head to tail would
extend more than 4, 700 miles, or from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and half
way back again.
