If Norfolk is to relobruto the Fourth

people boliovo that the tlmo has arrived
wneu tho city should provide somo sort

Tho horses fourth competitor is mak
ing quito a spurt for popularity aud is
certain to find a fiold of work probably
without greatly encroaching on the

next tho trolly car successfully retired
the street car horso then camo tho bi
cycle ami tho horse back rider in fair
weather is almost uukuown now
comes tho automobile to still further
compete for the horses honors in over
laud transportation of freight aud pas
sengers The stugo coaches in remoto
districts are giviug way to the
bilo j in the cities tho cab and bus horses
aro boiug rotirod as well as the driving
auu uray horses The innovation is on
its way west aud it will probably be but
a question of time when the horse as a
moans of transportation will be out of
a job Still in competition with all
theso inventions tho horse is iudispeu
sable aud his Bpecies are not likely to
become oxtiuct for many generations

J Sterling Morton of the Conservative
looks upon the promotion of Govornor
Dietrich nud Mr Millard to United
States seuatorships as tho advancement
of common pooplo Mr Morton points
with prido to the origins and careers of
theso geutlemon because there has
been so much maudlin oratory relative
to tho impassiblo barriers which no
plain poor youth can surmount that
plutooraoy has eroctod across the paths
which lead to political or other prefer
ment in this great republic Tho
sketch of the life of Mr Dietrioh so
familiar to voters during tho campaign
is quoted wherein it is shown that ho
camo of poor Gorman parents and
worked his way from poverty to
riches nud from obscurity to the highest
otlice in tho gift of the people of his
stato by forco of will and character Of
Mr Millard tho Conservative says
Tho editor of Conservative has known
Mr Millard personally sinco 1858 and
always ns nn honorably dealing mau of
affairs His cautious kindness in loan
ing us niouoy from the firm of Barrows
Millard more than forty years ago
beforo tho crime of 1873 had even been
coucoived in the diabolism of the pluto
cratic mind at two per cent a month
shall never be forgotten We rejoice
that he loaned aud he rejoices that ho
got it baok again with twenty four per
ceut per annum interest It was rapa
cious reciprocity
Before working in a bank Joe worked
in a laud office beforo working iu a land
office he worked in a country store and
boforo workiug in a country store ho
worked on n farm and he has been stren
uously workiug all the forty odd years
that have enjoyed his friendship
He is now in tho prime of age aud will
celebrate his sixty fifth birthday this
month Whether work steady ear
nest honest work entitles a mau to bo
called one of tho common people or not
in this day of explosive oxhortors or
whether any sort of effort except of the
mouth is admissible among publio men
Tho Conservative dare not declare But
it hopes that Mr Millard will more than
realize all that his nearest friends expect
