The Crossville Chronicle in an ex-
haustive editorial on the fluctuations
of business in The Cleveland, McKin-

it is under democrat presidences that

much tinkering with the tariff. Pro-

what the people, need not low prices

All Lord Lonsdales steeds, by the bye, and he must pos sess something like an army of these animals, are chestnuts. with long sweepi ing tails, and in the choice of a new hunter Lady Lonsdale nearly always has a say, as she is one of the best judges of hunting stock going.
 The intensely modern bearer of those two mouth-filling titles, hereditary ad- miral of Cumberland and Westmoreland and lord warden of the west marches, is the great territorial magnate of the northwest corner of England. These two historic titles, by the way. are reminis- cent of the days when the duties of who- ever bore them were nightly serious, consisting, as they did. of defending the seaboard from the attacks of pirates and privateers and others like John Paul Jones, who harried Whitehaven to some purpose in ITS, and from free -booting lowland Scots, who often swept down on these northern counties, and carried off prisoners and cattle into their fast nesses, leaving burning villages and ruined crops to mark their path. In the aggregate, the Lowther estate consists of 175,000 acres 45,000 acres of which, are in Westmoreland, and 25,0O0 in West Cumberland, in addition to which their proprietor owns the soil and sporting rights of over 100000 acres of common land. Fully seven villages in the former county. with an aggregate population of 3000 inhabitants, are embraced in that

Quorn hunts, sthe earl made his debut in the hunting field at an astonishingly early afe, and at once showed himself
 scme' huntsman. It was, In fact, on lis ninth birthday that he went out with the Cottesmore on a small thorough bred, and at once got well away with the hounds. A terrific pace pounded the whole field with the exception of four of the most daring riders. One of these was young Hugh Lowther. With rare pluck and determination, as well as with judgment far beyond his years, the boy rode through the run, and had the satis- faction of seeing the hounds race into their fox. So pleased were the other three-Lord Wilton, Major Wythe Nell vile and Stirling Crawford-that they ccmmemorated his performance with 'fiver'' apiece. And since then, Lord Lonsdale has gained reputation as one Of the hardest riders m the country.
 Another of the earl's feats as horse- man has become rather famous. Back in the nineties he mad wager with Lord Shrewsbury that he would drive a coach 20 miles in record time, five miles to be co yered with four-in-hand, five miles with a pair of horses, five miles single and five miles pair again, this time to be ridden position fashion. On the day fixed for the match-the ground to be tiaversed was that between Reigate and Crawley--the frost was so severe and the snow so deep that Lord Shrewsbury wired to say that he would not be turn ing up, but Lord I.onsdale, not to be out done, turned out and covered the 20 miles as arranged in just under 56 minutes.
 Thinking of him, as one does, as a blum, genial, all around sportsman, one Is likely to forget what great and puis- sant parsonage Lord Lonsdale really is. and what fabulously rich man. But the earl does not forget it. He is one of

estate, while the busiest centers of West Cumberland own him as ground landlord
 It is not their agricultural estates, how ever, that have made the earls family one of the wealthiest in the peerage, but the coal mines of Whtehaven and the iron-stone mines of West Cumberland generally. In the case of the former, the coal is leased to several big com panies, and as it is of exceptionally good quality and commands a ready safe, it pays royalty of 25 cents a ton to the earl. And as the output exceeds 620,000 tons per annum, or 2066 tons per working day. some idea may be gathered of the goodly income derived from this source alone These Whitehaven mines, it may be mentioned, have the distinction of being the deepest in the kingdom, and in the case of at least two, of being worked for over two miles under the bed of the sea. As for the iron ore mines, it need only be said that 1,155,431 tons of iron ore We're raised in Cumberland last year, fully one-third of which came from Lord Lonsdales mines, to show that his income from the latter alone must be magnificent.
