"Hobiza-Ntal" Hill Morrison says tie will not be a candidate for Vice Vreni dent if an Indiana man is in the field, otherwise he is "there in the fullest sense fthewoid." That settles it "Horizan tal Bill" is not a candidate. If Indiana hasn't a score of candidates you uiaj know, the milenniuiu ia at hand, and political questions will cea.se to be of special interest. Tiik weather is rather depressing on an old fashioned red hot hand to hand count j seat fight, but it fteeuis' the citi zens of the new county of Perkins are worked up to a terrible condition of mind over the contest between Grant and Madrid for county seat honors and thai cold weather has no perceptible effect on the movements of the belligerents. Some special telegrams to the Ouiuhit Republican yesterday wcro decidedly pleasant reading as they indicated a not very remote possibility of the strike com ing to an early end, it seems the brother hood are willing to meet Mr. Perkins more than half way nnd if that be true, the company will doubtles put a stop to this almost criminal loss of property. We only fear that the telegrams miy prove incorrect. The Board of Trade meeting last night was fairly well attended and several matters of public interest were thorough ly discussed. Resolutions in favor o offering the Missouri Pacific railway $60,000 in bonds if thev will build into this city and locate shops etc. were adopted. Seme interested parties want ed to locate the depot, but that wa wisely left to the company. Quite feeling was manifested in favor of get ting the B. & M. to build a line out from this city across the country. The Her ald believes that a permanent bridgr across the Missouri and' Platte rivers would be of almost as much permanent value as a short line of railroad. The Herald believes we would get back more than 8 per cent interest on an in vestment of $40,000 in bridges across our rivers. Theodore Roosevelt's Pea Motor of ClMa That Will Sooa Paos Away. Singly, or In twos or threes, they gallop their wiry little horses down the street, their lithe, supple figure erect or swaying slightly as they ait loosely in ths saddle, while their stirrups are so long that their knees are hardly bent, the bridles not taut enough to keep the chains from clanking. They are smaller and lees muscular than the wielders of ax and pick; but they are as hardy and self reliant as any men who ever breathed with bronzed, set faces, and keen eyes that look all tlio world straight in the face with out flinching as they flabh out from under the broad brimmed hats. Peril and hardship and years of long toil, broken by weeks of brutal dissipation, draw haggard lines across their eager faces, but never dim their reck less eyes nor break their bearing of defiant self -confidence. They do not walk well, partly because they so rarely do any work out of the saddle, partly becauso their chaperajos, or leather overalls, hamper them when on the ground; but their appearance is striking for all that, and picturesque, too, with their jingling spurs, the big revolvers stuck in their belts. and bright silk handkerchiefs knotted loosely round their necks over the opoa collars of the flannel shirts. When drunk on the vil lainous whisky of the frontier towns they cut mad antics, riding their horses into the saloons, firing their pistols right and left. from boisterous lightheortedness rather than from any viciousness, and indulging too often in deadly shooting affrays, brought on either by the accidental contact of the moment or on account of some long standing grudge, or perhaps becauso of bad blood between two ranches or localities; but except while on such sprees they are quiot, rather self con tained men, perfectly frank and simple, and on their own ground treat a stranger with the- most whole souled hospitality, doing all in their power for him &nd scorning to tako any reward in return. Although prompt to resent an injury, they are not at all apt to be rudo to outsiders, treating them with what can almost be called a grave courtesy. They are much better fel lows and pleasanter companions than small farmers or agricultural laborers, nor are the mechanics and workmen of a great city to bo mentioned in tho same breath. Theodore Koosovelt in Tho Century. "As the preface of an article booming Judge Gresham for the presidencv, the Chicago Tribune raises for consideration three possible objections to Senator Har rison, namely: That he took an active part with ex-Senator'Edniunds against re strictinjr Chinese immigration: that the labor members of the Indiana legislature would not vote for him for senator; and that by favoring the submission of a pro hibition amendment in Indiana he may have alienated the German vote. The m Tribune adds: 'Judge Grcsham's record denes scrutiny, lr any candidate- can carry New York he can. He would carry his own state by a big majority. If the Hoosiers want a Hoosier president he is their man, because he can be elected, for he is a man upon whom all factions of ths party, whether Germans or prohibi tionists. or whatever their tariff views mar be. could heartilv unite. Let them be careful they do not make a grave mis take when they come to present their can didates With Gresham in the "White House and Harbison in the cabinent, Indi ana would have a standing and influence ia the national government such as she has never had in her whole history as a state.' " Senator Vasch has a wit like the structure of a kangaroo, ponderous in the posterior, very slight in the anterior dimensions. That is to say, it lacks in tellectual "heft." He waxed heavily humorous over the discussion of the Nica ragua Canal Question, his buttock wit finding much to stimulate it in the idea that other than American material might be used in the work constructing the canal. With Gargantuan mirth he sug gested that the corporation might buy iron and tteel of England to the neglect of Pennsylvania manufactures, and puff ed out the elephantine jest that Republi cans would fail in their obvious duty did they not make provisions to have the American enterprise conducted on a strictly American basis. Evidently Sena tor Vance is emulous of that one true joker pf the lower house, happy Sunset Cox. But he should not lose sigh!; of the titttle lesson in the differences of ponder able matter set down by one .op. The stupidity of the affectionate ass, wishing for the .caress of bis master, imitated the nimble spaniel so far as to leap with s bray into the farmer's la;). Senator Vamce possibly remembers the. result. The tariff is no joking matter for the Democrats. Inter-Ocean, Washington's Habits. lie was very simple in his domestic habits, rising often in midwinter at 5 o'clock. lie kindled bis own fire, and read or wroto by caudlo light until 7 o'clock, when he break fasted very frugally. His ordinary break fast was two small cups of tea and three or four cakes of Indian meal, called hoecakes. After breakfast ho mounted one of his superb horses, and in simplo attire, but which set off to great advantage his majestic frame, vis ited all thoso parts of the extended estate whero any work was in progress. Every thing was subjected to a careful supervision. At times he dismounted and even lent a help ing hand in futherance of the operations which were going on. He dined at 2 O'clock and retired at about 9 in the evening. He was kind in word and deed to his negro slaves, and while careful that they should not bo overtasked, was equally careful that they should not loiter their time away in idle ness. The servants were proud of their stately, dignified, wealthy master, and looked up to him with a reverence amounting almost to religious homage. Washington was very fond of ths chose. Often when riding to a distant part of the estate he would take some of the hounds with him in tho hope of start ing up a fox. The habits and tastes of the old English nobility prevailed In Virginia to an extraordinary degree. Tho passion for following the hounds was thoroughly trans planted from tho broad estates of tho Eng lish landholders to the vast realms which na ture had reared and embellished on the banks of the Potomac and amid the ridges of the Alleghanies. An Ancient Canal Uncovered II. J. Stevenson, surveyor for the Palm Va'ley Water company, reports making a singular discovery while surveying the canal line running south and easterly from the old Agua uauente springs, lie naci run one lino on a grado of four feet to the mile from the present terminus of the stone canal to tho new town site, but In crossing the de pression near the mountain it would become necessary to build a quarter of a mile of flnm ing. Ia order to obviate this expense he was instructed to moke a new survey on a grade of ciirht feet to the mile, so as to strike the town site at a lower level and cross the de pression without a flume. On this last sur vey, after crossing the depression in good shape, he struck an old canal that must have been used centuries ago, for largo trees had grown up in the very bottom or the canal. and tho indications were that when used it carried a very large volume pf water. The most singular thing about the canal was that the surveyors found it just where they wanted to construct the new canal, and in following up for a distance of about a mile it was found to have a regular grade of about eight feet to the mile.

"Did you over notice the difference in the way that different drivers stop the horse camf One starts his horses on a jump, gives a jump himself to avoid tho jar, tumbles all bis passengers half over toward the rear end of the car, and when the signal to stop is given be gives tho brake a sudden jork, whirls around to sue if his passenger is off, whirls again while bis human load is tumbled toward the front of the car, is off before they come to an equilibrium, stops again in the same way, jams a short gentleman's head into a lady's bonnet, jams ladies' hats into gentlemen's faces, and, all in all, keeps up a continuous strain on people's politeness; un corks an occasional immoral invective; has every corn in tho car trod on; elegant dresses plunged into by the soiled hands of tumbling unfortunates, all for not knowing how to stop. John Excel is my ideal. When ho sees a signal he gcutly touches tho brake, draws in his horses, calculates to a nicety how much force will bring his car to a halt just at the crossing. When a passenger wishes to alight. John stops his car in tho same level headed way; rarely turns around; knows when the man Is off, by a delicate sense of feeling; starts easy, and the car glides off with a pic nic smoothness. Nobody is tumbled into no body, ami everybody is really enjoying the ride. When the car is not overf ul gentlemen read their papers, put on their spectacles with ease, discuss the news, make nice bows to lady mends; and, when they alight, ore never tumbled in tho street. All from having the art of stopping. TBX DEACON'S FAILING. Father D. was a pious old deacon in an Ohio church. Ho was relied on by his pastor as a right hand man. JIo was anxious to do his duty, and if called on to "testify" in meeting had it not in conscience to refuse. But, alas! poor Deacon D., how ho should stop he never knew. Ho tried to speak his closing words, but every sentence, in spite of him, would close itself with an "and"' or with "but." This pledged him to another sen tence, which alao fatally closed with another and." "Dear brother," I hear him patiently say, "I am an unworthy disciple, and have nothing to say that is worXhy of your con sideration but. But I know that I ought always to be ready to testify of tho Lord's goodness and. And now I will close what I have to say and. And I beg of you always to bo instant in season and out of season. doing what your hands find to do and. And, as I was saying, I know my own un worthi ness to speak of what the Lord is doing in Zion but. But I don't want to stand in the light of others who would do their duty and." "And" and so tho poor fellow stepped on the trap every time, in spite of himself. At last, perspiring and scared, the ands and buts rolled into a confused ball of words, and the deacon feu back exhausted. His testi mony was a terriblo "cross," not only to him self, but to all tho "brethren and sistei-s." When Rev. Dr. M. was invited to lecture before tho lyceum of A., he began at 8 o'cloclt. His lecture was from ono of thoso topics that open at both ends. He lectured from each end alternately; now a bit of theory, and then a bit of application. Ho lectured for one hour. The audience was then somewhat overf ulL They wero getting uneasy. Mo lectured one- Sour end a quarter, and was just beginning to enjoy himself, mo audience began to be markedly impa tient One hour and a half I Two-third3 of his audience loft. One hour and thr&e-quar ters! He evidently wanted to stop, but could not get to an end. The audience that re mained from respect to his character was excessively angry. Two hours! The affair grew ludicrous. People looked in each other's faces and laughed. Assuring them that he must not detain them any longer, the doctor broke off his thread. All for lack of tho art of stopping. THE GIFT OF LINCOLN. In politics the art of stopping is pre-emi nent. It was the particular gift of Lincoln. How terribly impatient we all got with him after the battle of Bull Run! But was he ever driven by clamor to one hasty step? What a terrible burden that man bore for thoso months when Chase said, "If he lives ho will wreck us," and honest men wished he would die. It is a wonder ho did not die. Lincoln had tho marvelous power to lead. but never to be more than one step ahead of the people. Henry Clay had somewhat of this popular leadership, and so did Webster; but neither of them could be sure to stop- both lost the presidency for that reason, Douglas had the art, but he committed him self to one great error, and could never be allowed to stop, It is the doom of a political blunder that it leads on and on to perpetual complications. But yon cannot read the life of Lincoln, and not admire his art of celf- control. I am peculiarly pleased with the training wo are getting in these days by science in tha art of stopping. If you study tho life of Dar win you will admire nothing so much as his stopping short of mere speculation. I do not think he has been found ever to have gono one step beyond tho direct and positivo war rant of data. You may imagine what the evolution idea born into some brains Would havo led to. Indeed, we have seen 6ome very eminent men compelled to back out of some very ludicrous places, because they did not stop in time. Scientific training is having a wonderful influence in compelling us to test and prove as we go. "E. P. P." in Globe-Pemocrat. BS3's Chorry Cough Syrup.
