A government horse buyer gives some
new pointers on picking out good
roadster. He says horse that moves
steadily and takes good, long strides
is good horse. Never buy horse
that takes short, nervous steps OF
which has mincing gait. Such horse
cannot stand hard work on the road
and Is always hard on his rider OIL
driver. Cavalry horses in the crack
regiments are, as a rule, particularly
gated as to walking.

Six night-riders in the Reelfoot
Lake district have been sentenced to
the gallows by Judge Jones, and two
to the penitentiary for life, for the
murder of Captain Quentin Rankin.
The murder was a cowardy and
brutal ore and cannot be too severely
condemned, but the sentencing Of men
by wholesale to hanging is not less
CHASTITY. 1t is doubtful that legalized
murder ever does any good, and so
far as the rather primitive folk Of
the District are concerned, they fear
confinement more than the moose
However, it required courage on the
part of judge and jury to take the
course they did, in a time Of such
feverish excitement and their honesty
and fearlessness are not in question.
SO far as the loose statements of the
press are concerned, though, the at
tempt to connect the night-riders who
killed Captain Rankin with the night
riders of Col. Joel Forts tobacco
war, is entirely erroneous. The two
have not even an incidental connec-
ton, and the organizations were to-
tally dissimilar in kind purpose and
personnel.

1t is pleasing to note, however, that
the City of New York has won it's
fight for 8o-cent gas, over the de-
Tense of the local monopoly that the
rate would be "confiscatory." The
Company must now return something
like $9,OO0,O0O to the patrons, as the
difference due to them between the
price at which the Company held the
gas and that prescribed by the city.
1t will be job of no small difficulty
to manage the return, as it will read
lily be imagined the small sums into
which the $9,O0O,OOO must be divided.
The decision is a very wholesome
one and will encourage all states and

able rates.

Summary Of Ebents as They Happen

Is the salary Of the President Of
the United States to be increased to
100000 a year? IF some sycophantic
congressman can bring it about, it
will be done. Each congress manages
to produce the kind Of hair-pin who
has nothing better to do, and not
brains enough to conjure up anything
more commendable than the propo-
sition to seek little favor for him
self through fawning upon the presi-
Dental office.
This little dispatch, shorn of all
superhuous words and quite uncom-
mented upon, to the effect that "a.
Deutscher had been elected president
of the Swiss Republic for one year"
conveys a world Of deep meaning.
Their elections are --s,lnnoticed;
they have no scandal-mongering in
their official circles, no graft charges.
The President is indeed the
servant of the people, and on
his retirement resumes quietly the
walk Of life he pursued before his
transformations executive service. Of
course, Switzerland isn't a "world
power. /" It is greater than that,
greater perhaps than anything else,
in that it is a true democracy. It
has no swollen fortunes, no heart
breaking bread-lines, few crimes. It's
people are self-respecting, save per-
haps in those instances where the rich
foreigner has inaugurated the custom
of lavish tipping.
The United States could do many
worse things than to study some of
the customs Of Switzerland. When
ridiculous adulation can no longer sat
isfy itself with material gifts, we can
expect that some congressman at no
very distant day will suggest that
"Mr. President" is too plebeian a
term to express our hero-worship and
the comforting Of titles will be in or
der as a forerunner to the complete
downfall of the republic. When
people is not, apparently, great
enough, or rich enough, to cope with
constantly increasing pauperism, it
has not a dollar to vote towards en-
abling its executives to put on any
more royal state than can be main
tanned at the now lavish salary of $4,-
900 per month.

of Judge Peter Grosscup was in itself

WHY HE FELL.

The fall of Prince Won Buelow III
Germany is attributed to his inability!
!. to solve the tax problem aceeptaoly5
to the people. August Bebel declares
i that the rise Of the cost of provisions
in Germany and the growing number
Of men out Of work create condi-
ton OF things which accounts for the.
4unpopularity of the Chancellor and his MS
financial policy.
But If this Is the true cause Of his
4 fall there is little hope Of his successor
being able to remedy the condition. The.
root OF the evil is the awful military
burdens the country Is made to carly.
Besides, one class is being protected
as against another One class is be-
coming wealthy at the expense OF the
very life of another. 1t is claimed that
the old-tlme vigor OF the laborers Is
giving out because OF prolonged UNDER
feeding. undermining their health and
the health OF their wiyes-all In order
to maintain class rule and military
supremacy. If this Is true, what can
DR.. Bethmann- Sollweig do to change
the conditions?
The first step in the right direction
would be to begin a policy OF disarma-
mcnt and retrenchment in the national
expenses. The next would be the in-l
vestment OF public money in productive
enterprises. This would mean lower
taxes and more men employed in the,
prod OF the necessartes and lux
uries of life, 1t would mean lower
cost of living, peace and contentment.
But the nations have not advanced far
enough in civilization to apply to na-
tlonal finances tho Same rules that sane
business men apply to their Individual
affairs, 81

MORE nREADNoUGHTs.

Where IS the war mania going 10
stopf It is not long ago since the
hattleships Of the Dreadnought type
were supposed to furnish safe basis
of naval supremacy. but, il reports are
true. this type will soon belong to the
past. Super Dreadnoughts must be-
constructed now. they say.
According to the London Daily Mall
Great Britain Is about to build four
super Dreadnoughts. These ships will
exceed the old Dreadnoughts by 5000
tons; In length at the water line eighty
feet, in speed a knot and a half. IN
armament the new will have ten 1885,
inch guns in place of ten 2-inch guns
of the present Dreadnoughts, which will
fire 1,s00-pound shells Instead Of the
$50 pound shells Of the present type.
That is the way Great Britain proposes
S to support the cause of disarmament.
@ And vet, naval experts have asserted
that Dreadnoughts are nothing to
dread The French Admiral Germinet
declared, when the first Dreadnonght
was built. that 1t was a blunder, He
claimed that neither tonnage, weight
Of metal. nor size Of shells decide ma
val battles. He called attention to the
fact that the Japanese, at the begin
ming Of the war with Russia, used
heavy shells charged with only a small
quantity OF explosive. but that they,
later, manufactured shells of high-ex-5
splosive capacity To these Shells he
says, their victory was due. The new
shells exploded at the least contact
produced enormous heat. ard gave out
a volume of gases that asphyxiated
those who breathed them It need not
be thought, this naval expert asserted,
that the victory was due to the ton
mage OF the Japanese ships, or the Won
sderful Workmanship of the gunners.
1t was not their Dreadnoughts but their
sprojectiles that decided the battle of
Tsushima. The lesson drawn from this
Is that the wisest method in naval
warfare is to have number of small
easily handled ships, armed with shells
of n high-eXplosive capacity. Such
an armament. NJ. Germinet concluded,
Is better than any weight of cumbrous
tonnage.

THE UNREST IN INDIA.

! The recent murder Of Colonel Wylie
In London, by a Hindu student, Is a
reminder. to the world that in india
too the people are struggling for in

Some time ago the papers reported
that the swadeshi movement was
Spreading in India. This movement
was, in the first instance. an agitation
for the consumption of Indian goods

ersshad been ruined by the British po-
Hey of protection, and the proposition
8izing home industries.
But 1T was not only commercial but
MISC national. And it was stimulated
by the example OF Japan, If not fos-s
tered by Japanese agents. An educat-
ed Hindu, writing for the Hindustan
Review, said, there Is no more strik-
ing or recent example of the growth OF
national sentiment than in Japan. The
European costume and habits. to which
y the Japanese seem to have no obiec-
material sentiment and ways Japa-
J nese life is the same as before their

everything required by the people is

all that Europe has To teach and give
but they have put their OWN liall-
