OF course when a young MAJ scat

as he did, and still another wonder

Eleven years of fighting is a long
time for a young man who likes the
soft things of life and has had a
chance to CRAFTY his wishes along
those lines.

Since the advent Of the auto the i'm

is not the case. The number Of horses

the demand. The Breeders Gazette. an

Almost fifty years have passed since
Abraham Lincoln called for volunteers
TO preserve the Union. The men came
from the farm and workshop and from
every walk Of life. and the Union was
preserved. History has recorded the
heroic acts Of these men called from the
arts Of peace to the tented field. For
four long years the country was
drenched with blood and thousands of
young men went down TO death. Tie
present and succeeding generations will
feel thrill Of pride as they read of the
desperate battles and the final triumph
of the right. Those who remember the
dark days Of '6i-'65 realize more fully
the sacrifices made by those who
marched up to the lannon's mouth

COLONEL wATrERsoN's VIEW.

Colonel Henry Watterson has not
moderated his views concerning the
tariff despite the fact that there is a
disposition on the part of some of his
fellow southerners 10 enrich themselves
at the expense of the great mass of the
people. Mr.. Watterson does not believe
that prosperity comes by the govern
ment giving the protected interests IS
for every one collected for revenue pur-
poses. He also fails to see where the
average consumer derives any benefit
from the millions piled up by these IA
vored people. In concluding a powerful
editorial in the Courier-JournaI he
says:
IF we had only to consider the spec
tacle made of all of US by the newly
rich beneiciaries Of the tariff spend

cause for a protest. They might bar

divert themselves according to their

foots their bills. He does so at an in
