Valuable Horses Sold Cheap.

The highest classic honors of the turf
have been won by horses which can be
described as lob lots" or can be said
to have been sold at sale prices. Oc-
tavian. who won the st. Leger, was pur-
chased for E1o, and the $50 spent by
Lord George Bentinck on broken-down
n are and foal was money well invested,
for the little FLY became the great mare
Crucifix, and she won the Oaks and the
sum of ga ,587 in her two-year-old season
alone.
What some good critics consider the
highest horse ever seen on the turf,
Eclipse, was once bought for 46 guineas.
If he had been put up for sale in these
days he would have fetched as many
thousand guineas. Little Wonder, an
other Derby winner, was sold for 6S
guineas and for three guineas less George
Frederick, who also won the blue ribbon
of the English turf, changed hands. Sir
Bevys, yet another winner, was sold at
$500. The Hero, who once won the Good
wood Cup, was picked up in Wales for

Gus Teddington and his mother were
bought for fl57.
The costlest horse, and the most talked
of, Flying Fox, bred by the late Duke of
Westminster and bought by M. Z. Blanc
for 500 1875, was descended from a fiddle
headed Irish mare valued at ego, in the
possession of an Irish priest who had a
fondness for dabbling in horsefesh. 1t
was from this same mare that the un.
beaten Ormonde came in descent, and
truly the saying that all great things
have small beginnings was never better
exemplified than in the case of this ole
ego mare, whose offspring include BenC
Or, Ormonde, Orme and Flying Fox-s
quartet of remarkable horses bred by the
one man, the late Duke of Westminster

GRANGER or Patron,

An oversensitive individual from
somewhere has discovered that there
is no such word as granger" that
the one and only appcllation of men,
Der of the grange is Patron Of Hus-
bandry. This so called discovery" has
been made many times during the past
forty years Yet granger has been
the popular name for members Of the
great Order, and granger" it shall be
until the end of time. Applied at first
to the Patrons in ridicule. it has come
to be synonym of honor and respect.
No true Patron is ashamed of the
name granger"

1t is somewhat surprising to hear prom
inent men in Congress refer to the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court in the Mime
sofa and North Carolina railroad rate
cases as "abridging the rights of the
States and 'enlarging the power of the
Federal government" and giving the
Federal courts greater powers" One of
the authors of a railroad rate bill is
quoted as saying that 1.-THE decision re-
fers to the conflict between State and
Federal authority, and it holds that Fed
eral authority is predominant; and that
Federal courts should take jurisdiction of
all railroad rate regulation" Another
member of the House, from the South,
remarks that he is glad this blow has
fallen upon Republican State, because
fruit of long course of objectionable
folly and a slavish adherence to the
Hamiltonian theory of a centralized gov
eminent. l believe that reaction will
set in against the attempted destruction
of the right of States"
Evidently these legislators had not read
the opinion of the court or Justice Har-
lan's dissenting opinion. The Supreme
Court does not hold that Federal au-
thority is predominant" nor does it hold
that Federal courts should take exclusive
jurisdiction of all railroad rate regula-
ton. Nor does it attempt the destruc-
tiop of any right of any State.
What the Supreme Court does hold is
that neither Minnesota nor North Caro-
lima may enact and enforce such railroad
rate laws as will deprive the railroad
companies of the equal protection of the
laws. The right of State to regulate
railroad rates is not denied. Nor is the
It..t,A Of Stnto IBID rAl
denied. But the Supreme Court does
hold that when State enactment is al
legged to be a violation of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, Federal court
may take jurisdiction equally with the
State courts. The railroad companies
had the choice of forum, without any in
vidious distinction between the courts.
And after a Federal court had taken jur-
isdictiOn of case, and before any pro-
ceeding in a State court is commended,
the Federal court has authority to decide
the case, and to enjoin any person from
proceeding in State court until the Fed
eral court has proceeded to judgment.
1t was the attempt of two States to
usurp powers not belonging to them, in
violation of the Constitution, that called
ferth the decision of the Supreme Court
The Fed raj power is not enlarged, nor
the State power abridged, but the good,
common-sense, honest judgment is
reached that no State may make "A rail
road rate law that will deprive a railroad
company of the right to have its rights

Once more the Supreme Court has dem

property will be protected against in

MAY BE CANDIDATE.
This 10 Mareh-Eieotion 10 In
oetober-Never Do Fail Work
In Sprjnu"

Washington, April IA week ago the
youngest member of the senate Senator
Bryan of Florida died. On Monday the
oldest member OF that body took his seat
when ex.Gov. Stewart of Vermont, the
successor of the late Redfeld Proctor,
was sworn in.
Twelve years ago Mr.. Stewart, then
member of the lower house, went out of
congress. Everybody supposed that was
the end of his public career, for Mr.
| Stewart had then exceeded the Biblical
age of three score and ten. He was II
years old when he retired from the house
because it no longer interested him.
| Now he comes back senator, looking
scarce a day older than when he left, and
so far as one can judge from looks, good
for many years to come.
And rhaps he may be disappoint-
ment to some of the Vermont politicians
who have counted on his being content
to serve until the meeting of the legisla-
ture next October and then dropping out
of sight. Mr.. Stewart likes the senate
and if he should be a candidate before
the legislature when senator is to be
elected it would perhaps not be surprs
ing.
Mr.. Stewart was asked that question
yesterday, whether he would be candi-
date in the fall and he answered in regu
lar New England style:
"This is March, The next election is in
October. Never do fall work in the
lspring", with which enigmatical reply in
quirers had to be satisfied.
Senator Allison of Iowa was the father
of the senate. He is 70. Senator Steph-
enson of Wisconsin is few months his
Junior. Senator Stewart with the added
weight of five ears looks good 20 years
younger than his colleagues, and several
senators from different parts of the coun-
try remark ed today they were sorry they
did not live in Vermont where the foun.
tain OF perpetual youth must have its
source deep in the heart of the wonder
full Green mountains.
ExGov Stewards first day at the Cap
ital city as senator was full of activity
In the morning he journeyed over to the
White House Office and stopped at the
2 entrance of the cabinet room to renew
| acquaintance with Maj. Loetller the
veteran doorkeeper.
E AS they talked the door was ajar. The
President was moving around inside witt
e much energy. He happened to lool
I through the door.
"By George, Senator Stewart" he ex
claimed, cutting the conversation witt
4 Maj. Loef1ler, Come right in, am rea
f glad to see you"
@ Before the new senator had a chance
to say anything he had been invited t.
the White house for luncheon. He hat
: to hurry away to the Capitol to be sworr
2 in at aeon and take his place rs the mos
1 aged man of the upper Legislative
branch.
About all the Senate came to shak,
S hands with him. He seemed to know
: most of the employees, down to tn,
doorkeepers and messengers-people whc
were around the Capitol in some capaci
ty when he was here as representative
II years ago. On every side the octo
genarian was given the glad hand, anC
. although little tired, he thinks he will
like being a senator very much.
