When the latter to discuss the their own state and district, they also manage to slipina word about District’ mat- ters, and I suppose that hardly a day passes that the President does not hear about some one who would filla Distriet office with satis- faction. In this way District affairs are made to loom up inthe President's mind, and he probably hears more on this subject’ than on any other, I don’t know that I object to this, only it is rather rougt on those who, not having friends at court, are not mentioned in the Presicvnt’s ear ‘with that ‘iteration’ which, in the opinion of the office seeker at least, is not “dam However, this practice is objectionable, because a good many of these prominent men in this way become so much trict appointments tions go, nothing is concerned about the offi | interested in the District appointments as to want the offices for their own friends, “At any rate,” he continued, “this kind of pres- sure which is now being brought to bear upon the President fs not so objectionable, and I may has none of the detestable features of the icy of another element here which seeks to cken the character of every man whois men- ith a District office.

I drive about the city nearly every day, and my experience contirms all they One can s drive a square in any dire tion, in th ing especially, Sundays and all, without having to stop or suddenly pull up the horse to keep from running over children, It is marvelous that more aceldents do not occur. Ido not see what parents can be think- ing of to let their children run such risks, es pecially those using roller skates and veloci- pedes.” Another serious trouble is that many the children, instead of trying to get outef the way, actually seem to try to get in the way, almost invariably running ‘across just in front of the horse, apparently seeming to think that it is smart or an exhibition of courage. Another serious trouble arises from the habit of throw- ing stones, sticks, tin cans, old pans, pieces of wire, hoops and all sorts of material into the Streets, not uuirequently throwing them at or close by a passing horse. It fs a shame and an outrage that such practices should be tolerated; and itseems to me that if the police authoriz ties would really try they could soon put a stop to it. Ofcourse, the most of this is done by the hoodlums, generally the colored ones, but it their parents will Rot teach them better, the authorities should.

It will be observed that Mr, Randall speaks with entire freedom and frankly of the political situation, of the President and the administra- tion, and of what, in his judgment, lies in the future as to parties and politics. Your correspondent asked, “What do you think of the new administration?” Mr. Randall replied: “In my judgment It is going on as well as possible, and Tam certain that it is making u good impression on the peo- ple, 1 notice soine fault-tinding bere and there, uit I_notice also no one pretends to doubt the ‘incerity and honesty of the President's inten- tions.

To ascertain where in the immense government establishment bad methods prevail and incompetent or unfit per- sons are employed, and to Improve the methods and substitute faithful and competent men to do the work, is a hinge task, for which even a single presidential term is scarcely adequate. What has been accomplished in the two months and a halfsince the 4th of March is necessarily only the beginning. The President and the cabinet have not had time to look closely into the machinery of the government. ‘They are at work, and reports from different and numer- ous points and places are coming in and will be Intelizentiy acted upon. as Tecelved.

He will, through his suecess, by the year 1888, as the public administrator of a great trust, be renominated and re-elected, and I am. satistied that the party can do no better than faithfully stand by him and co-operate with him, ‘The work of reform confided to him ean hardly be completed in a single term. The country will re-elect him to secure the eomple- tion of that work and give it the permanence which it ought to have for the general good.” “Do you moan that the true policy of your party is to give the administration a united and cordial support with the distinet object of renominating Mr, Cleveland in 1888?” “That is my view ofthe political situation. On general principles it must be plain to. any one that we can more easily re-elect Mr. Cleve- land than elect a new man. Or, to put this in a different shape, it we cannot re-elect Mr, Cleve- land, he having accomplished in part or in whole the reforms desired by the people, then We cannot elect any gone.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES FOR THE GOVERNOR- SHIP. The democratic state convention of Virginia will meet June 29th to nominate astate ticket.

Both parties are committed to the Kiddieberger debt settlement adopted by Mahone’s legislature. Objection has already been urged against some of the most prominent democratic candidates for gov- ernor that they have been in the habit of pay- ing their taxes In coupons, It would be diffi- cult in the present mood of the people of Vir- Ania to find a stronger objection against a can- idate than this.

DEFENDING LINCOLN ANDSTANTON. Jadge Kelley Attacks McClellan for His Recent Magazine Article. Interview in N.Y. Herald. PHILADELPHIA, May 18, 1885. “The real reason of McCiellan’s failure was that he played at making war,” said Judge William D. Kelley, when seen this afternoon at his residence in this city. For once rumor was correct, he admitted. He had returned from Washington, where he had been in search of official documents and data to prepare a re- Joinder to Gen. McClellan's recent. paper on “The Peninsular Campaign.” The assaults upon President Lincoln and Secretary Stan- ton ealled for vengeance, like Cosar’s wounds, and Judge Kellcy has the intent to rise in de- fense of the dead, “This Oentury article is misleading, illogical and malicious,” continued the Congressman, “Knowing that Lincoln and all his cabinet whoserved with Stanton were dead; that Sumner, Ben Wade, Henry Wilson, Caleb Cushing and others are gone, he probably thought that all who knew the real facts about his career from July, 1861, to July, 1862, were outof the way.” Get, MeClellan is ‘mistaken, I am alive! His statements against the dead shall not pass unchallenged. As must be evi- dent to you it would be unwise to outline my article now, because {t would destroy its farce asa magazine speech.

He was bright, clever and had had.the advantages of travel’ and u fine education. But he played at war on the peninsuiz, and he knows i “What has made you indignant, judge?” “His malice toward Stanton and the slur Indi- rectly put upon President Lincoln, the most remarkable man for power of thought and soundness of judgment, with all his roughness of ‘manner, that. this ‘country has produced. Why, in that article Stanton ts branded with the most infamous crime ever laid to the charge ofa human being—nothing less than sacrificing thousands of men on the peninsula in 1863 because of his bitter personal hatred to McClel- lan. But the writer of that indictment falls to offer any testimony to establish the fact of such enmity, or to supply any motive for its ence. “We are asked to credit the story that a man of $ s ealiber and attained promi- nence was devoting his entire time to thwart- ing the purposes of a young officer who never by any possibility could be his rival. Stanton’s career was completed before McClellan's began. He was a lawyer of national reputation. He had served in Mr, Buchanan's cabinet. He had no Ume to pursue McClellan. But I must not argue here.” “Well, then, how about Lincoln?” “The slander by inuendo fs that Lineoln was mere putty In Stanton’s hands. That is the sheerest nonsense. It is no reflection on the men about Lincoln tosay that he was easily first among them all. Bat this is a side issue. I Shall devote myself gallantly to ‘this young Napoleon,’ and shall accept battle In the po: tion he has himself assumed. He is very eare- Jess about his dates.

The tournaments which have Just been held at Mobile and New Orleans illustrate the extra- ordinary popularity which this form of mili- tary competition has achieved at the south dur- ing the last ten years, After the close of the war @ reaction naturally set in there as elsewhere against martial pursuits; with the horrors of the battlefield fresh in memory there was little relish for mock maneuvers. But when at length the importance of militia training reasserted itself it chanced to largely develop In the diree- tion of prize drilis for superiority in the manual of arms and company maneuvers, These competitions have come to rank among the foremost of festivities at the south. They often form the leading side show at county or state fairs, while evéry spring there are two Successive grand tournaments, at which only the crack companies venture to compete. Ci pared with these gatherings the fall meeting Creedmoor isa meaxer spectacle and the sum- mer camp at Peekskill tame. From all parts ot the south,and even from some parts of the w picked companies are sent to these contests. I deed, of late years several of them have been held in the northwest. Thus the tournament of 1882 at Louisville was a few days afterward followed by ope at Indianapolis, and that of 1884 at Houston by one at Dubuque, as well as by a third in August at Louisville, Usually, however, both of the annual competitions take Jace in Southern ke those of 1853 at New Orleans and Nashville, and those of the present year at Mobile and New Orleans. Vast throngs attend them. The excitement over the relative chances of the aspirants is as intense as at great race meetings, The names of the fore- most of them, or of the winners of past. years— the Chickasav Guards, of Memphis; the Cres- cent Rifles, of New Orieans; the Trediway Rifles, of St. Louis; the Houston Light Guard, the Montgomery Grays, and 0. on—are as widely known as those of renowned ball clubs or boat crews at the north, But there are nore substantial rewards than mere fame for the visitors. A single prize for infantry at Mobile was $4,000, and others brought the infantry total to $8,750. The ar- tillery and zouave prizes made up an aggregate of nearly 812,000, At Houston last year the prizes were almost as great. At New Orleans the first prize included $2,000 in cash and three gold medals, of which one was studded with diamonds, ‘Other rewards comprised $3,000 in cash, bextdes taneous giits, the Houston Light Guard won the first prize both at Mobile and New O: leans this year, and in {ts own elty last spring, it must have carried off within little more than & twelvemonth $10,000 in cash, besides gold and jeweled medals. It has been urged that regular drill tourna- ments shonld be established at the north and east, ag well as at the south, This, however, would be a mistake—a retrograde. Such com> petitions were in great favor here a generation ‘0, but ata tine when the practical training of the militia was less thorongh than now. They were gradually dropped because experi- ence showed that the time they absorbed could be used to better advantage. They are doing a good work at the south by the emulation they excite; but in the great northern cities, where whole regiments are found, it would bea blun- der to transfer regimental esprit de corps to company competitions. Besides, the scope of these drills is go limited that superexcellence hardly repays the pains taken to acquire it. ‘The principle of emulation ts sound. jiven the regular army recognizes it in its elaborate annual contests forthe championship ot rifle practice.

From the N. Y. Tribune. Robert Bonner, sitting in his office in The Ledger building, is surrounded by the pictures of ascore of horses that have won renown, Lying around promiscuously are horseshoes With histories of fast miles to tell,and when Mr, Bonner writes he dips hs pen Into an ink- stand made of the upper Jaw of a horse. The trotting horse is a favorite theme with Mr. Bonner, and when not overwhelmed by busi- ness cares he is always ready to talk upon it, In conversation with a Tribune reporter yester- day he said: “I think it would be a benefit to the horse In- terests of this country If pool-selling on races were stopped, and personally Ishould be pleased to see strict laws in regard toit rigidly enforced. Gambling degrades the sport, The great objec- tion to horse-racing has always been the gam- bling. A better class would patronize the Taces if there were no I-selling and the sport would be elevated. It is not necessary for the success of racing that there should be ‘any such thing. It is a comparatively modern tnnovation, and it is folly for an association to think that their financial success depends upon their percentage from the pool-box. Take it way back in 1823, Nheu Eellpye and Henry ran thetr great raed over the Union course. There was no pool-sell- ing then, it had never been heard of, yet 60,000 people went to seo the race,and among the nam- there were such men as Martin Van Buren and John Randolph. At that time our popula- tion was not one-quarter whatit is now. So if pool-selling really fosters and benefits racing there should be an attendance of 300,000 people At a first-class race under present circumstances, ‘Trots between well-known horses such as Flora Temple and George M. Patchen always drew a large crowd, but there was no pool-box then. Buffalo made its reputation as a great trotting center before the innovation, “In trotting pool-selling is particularly bad. Itgives the drivers an opportunity to make combinations and do what they call ‘working the pool This thing bas gone so far that | there is hardly a race that has not a taint of | fraud about it, and it is seldom that we hear of | the best horse'winning. Even if the race Is not | actually thrown, a heat or two is dropped, so as | to fix the betting. Why, told one of our best known drivers only the other day that they were Killing the zoose that lays the golden egg. Pool-box manipulation is killlug trotting, there is no mistake about it. The pool business is | run in the interest of a few men. und they are | the ones that are making all this hue and ery about racing being ruined if it isstopped. What surprises me is that so many gentlemen favor it. If itis so, and racing cannot be successfully carried on without it, then it seems to me that the love for true sport has died out and been supplanted by a_love for gambling. The St. Julien—Jay-EyeSee race, at Fleetwood, how- ever, would indicate otherwise, The day was bad, and everything was unfavorable; yet look | at the crowd that attended! No one believes that | the great majority went there to gamble—no, they went there to see a genuine contest be- tween two great horses; such a race willalways draw. The outlook for the owners of trotters for the coming season is good, and they can put trotting on a solid basis if they will only leave ight future for the breeders of The prices at the spring sales were never higher than they were In Orange county they were net so good, however, because the great demand is for | Kentucky-bred horses, and I will tell you why ‘There hax always been a desire on the part of | purchasers to get the best there Is In the mar- et, ani ash of thoroughbred blood has been appreciated. Thirty years ago Maine was in | the lead, as Maine Messenger’s progeny was | widely sought after, and they were considered the best. Then Vermontcame to the fore, and for a number of years had things her own way; there were some sons of old Messenger taken to Vermont. Then Orange county began produc. ing the best stock and we all looked to it for our trotters and roadsters, Kentucky breeders came to Orange county, purchased some of the best sons of Hambletouian, and taking them west, crossed them on mares with strong infusions of thoroughbred blood, and now they carry off the palin, They got all the action that we had and the thoroughbred blood in the dams give the colts the stamina to keep itup. When Dexter was king, we all thought he wav the acme of breeding, but we see it can be improved, No one believes that Maud S. or Jay-Eye-See coula trot as fast as they do were it not that their granddams were thoroughbreds, Maud’s is by Boston ‘e-See’s by Lexington,the t great of their day. Joy-E is by a brother of Dexter, and Maud by a son of old Hambletonian, Harold. _IfT wanted to get a performer I would not breed a trotter to a thoroughbred mare, but if I wanted to get a brood mare I would. y purchased Rarus for 5,000; he headed the list at that time with a ars after I record of 2.134. Now Maud S., that I paid $40,000 for, has a record of 2:09%. You see there is just four seconds difference in the re- spective records, ° “How fast do I think a trotter will go? That is a hard question to answer. Before Flora Temple trotted in 2:10, Tdid not believe 2:20 Then I thought when would ever be beaten. Dexter made his performance that the limit had been reached. Old Hiram Woodruff, the Sinartest of all the horsemen, used to tell me that a horse would trot in 2:10; now I think that perhaps 2:05 may be reached. How about — how fast will she go? Bair tells me, and nk myself, that she ought to trot some Where between 2:04 and 2:08, 8 “My opinion of double-team trotting fs that if you get two horses that are rightly gaited and tempered that they can trot together several seconds faster than either can singly. They divide the load and enconrage one another. In trotting singie they draw a forty-pound sulky anda 150-pound driver, or 190 pounds. Now you can get a skeleton’ wagon weighing 100 pounds, which makes with drivera load for the two of 250 pounds for a team, 125 each, or sixty-five pounds less than the single horse driws ixty-five pounds makes a great ditfer- ence when you are going almost at a ranning horse's clip. The performance of Maud 8, and Aldine,a mile over Fleetwood, drawing Win. H. Vanderbilt, toa top wagon in 2:15ty, was a Wonderful feat: Everybody knows that Aldine never saw the time she could trot the track single in 2:18.

Mr. Bonner says: “She is all rightsinceI have had her shod as she ought to be shod. She has im- ved_wonderfully in regard to the smooth- ess of her gait.

The Island of San Nicolas was once densely Populated.

They took their women w these hunts, and on returning the hun Was over they left them on th? island to their fate.

I have been captured by an Argentine man-of war and set at liberty all within the last two years, It happened in this way: About two years ago I was In New York and met an old acquaintance, Captain Cullom, He told me he had just purchased the. brig Eliza Thompson and Was going to Pa’ mines which he had discovered about a year before. He asked me to join him. I knew where the mines were located and went into the scheme without much coaxing. He was then loading the vessel with iron consigned to parties in Rosarie, Brazil, We left New York the next week with a erew ofseven men, for every oneof whom we had rifles and a brace of revolvers, with which to fight the natives. We reached Rosarie. without incident. and dis. charged our cargo. Five men were added to our crew at this port and we started for the sil- ver mines with a crew of twelve men, captain and mate. = ‘We reached the shores of Patagonia safely and ten of us, including the captain, started off to work the mines. They were found to be full ofsilver. The men went to work with a will, the rich lumps of ore seemed to impart new life to all of us and we bezan to imagine our- selves millionaires, After we had been there about a week a band of natives discovered us one day and attacked us with poisoned arrows. Every man seized his rifle and we sent one vol- ley at the sav: which killed two of their namber and put the others to flight. From thattime on there were scrimmages daily be- tween our men and the Patagonians. Mingled with the silver we found a great quantity of nitre in the mines, and, after working them for about two months, we Started tor Montevideo with 200 tons of silverore and 300 tons of nitre. The captain dis} of his cargo at that place and cleared $1,700 over all expenses, includit the cost of the brig, “After lying in port for several weeks and stocking the vessel with provisions, we started on asecond expedition. In this we were not so fortunate. We had been at the mines only two days when a squad of about thirty natives sur- prised us. Be we could reach Our guns two Of the sallors,a Dutchman anda Swede, both of whom had shipped at Rosarie, were pierced the poisoned arrows.
