The ^^T^rw7°iniBg Territory, inhie annual report, says the people want statehood but gives the Harrison policy of home rule in the territories credit for relieving the people of much of the inconvenience and hardship of being governed by strangers.

Seven weeks were used in securing twelve men to try the Cronin conspirators, and worse than this there were attempts to put bribed men in the jury box. To get the twelve men more than a thousand were summoned. If these facts do not make it plain that the jury system is faulty nothing could do so. It is to be hoped that whatever may be the result of the trial the diftieulty in preparing for it will bring about change in the jury laws.

THE TENURE OFFICE-

Our esteemed contemporary, the Gazette, will not be comforted for the loss of the collectorship, and renews the claim that General Manson be permitted to serve four years. It insists that Mr. Cleveland permitted Republicans to serve through the four years, and would huve the reader believe that Democrats are not given as much time at the public crib. This is wide of the truth, particularly as to the revenue office here. Democrats have been in charge of it more than four years. Suppose another HanIon had succeeded Tom, the rejscted that this other llanlon hud boen rejected a few months before Mr. Cleveland's term expired and General Munson hed then been nppiinted, would our contemporary insist that be b? permitted to serve four years? Tiiis would give the Democrats nearly eight years possession of the ofHce. I he truth is thaj- there is no four years term for collectors of internal revenue, and if tenure of ofVue act did apply to them we think party fairness would be accomplished by four year's occupancy of an oflioe under an administration that

was

itself limited to four years by the people. The Gazette is also grossly inaccurate when it says that "f!rover Cleveland bore the hrat and burden of this fight for the betterment of the civil service in this matter of letting ollioials serve out their full fourjears." It ifi'of record that Mr. Cleveland himself bitterly commented on the ingratitude of the Indiana Democracy whose demands for the spoils he hwl granted more speedily and in linger measure than those of his part) in any other state. If our contemporary (lo«H not believe this to La\e been the case, and will try to ascertain the truth by a general investigation of the facts, instead of harping on the isolated cacoof the Rockville postmaster, we refer it to that terrible arraignment of the administration by Senator Harrison, wherein there can be found a comprehensive listof the changes in cllioe made by President Cleveland.

THE GREAT AXTELL.

The Horseman of October 17th devotes much Bpace to the Terre Haute races, and gives the pictures of President Ijams and Secretary Watson, of the Terre Haute trotting association, which are reproduced here. The picture of Axtell is from Clark'd Horse Review. The following are extracts from the Horseman:

After last week the Terre Haute association will be enumerated among the leaders, as its books now show a bunch of records that few of the older clubs can equal. During the {our days orig* inally announced for its October meeting Astell trotted in 2:14'4, and two days later reduced tne stallion record and 3-years-old tecord of the world to 2:12. Hal Pointer cut the five-years-old record for pacing geldings to 2:13, equalling that now held by Bessemer, and Johnston paced threequarters of a mile in 1:34, a 2 05,'i.' clip. From a point of individual excellence it is an open iiuestion as to whether Astell or-Johnston's performance is the most sensational. For while the former swept away all existing stallion records, Johnston moved beyond the recognized limit of speed for tjie distance. In his mile, which was finished in 2:0S, Johnston paced the middle half in 1:02, and the third quarter in 30'» seconds. But those are not, by any means, his greatest tlights of speed, and at Hampden park last year he paced a quarter in 201.! seconds, and the following week passed the half mile post at. Fleetwood in 1:00'.j, while in private he showed his present owner a quarter in 28'..j seconds. Still, even in the light of this unprecedented performance of Johnston, Axtell's middle hBlf in 1:04 '4 stands out prominently for all other stallions to equal, while his record remains aB a monument for the family

trotters springing from the

union of the Wilkes and Mambrino strains.

At one time it was contended that stallions could not trot fast, and the advocates of the theory had the best of the argument until Ethan Allen and George M. Patchen raited the banner of defiance and met the highest cla66 performers of the day to harness and wagon, the son of Cassius Clay being frequently started at two mile heats and under saddle. By a strange coincidence both of the above stallions and Hambletonian were foaled in 1S1H. EHCH of them founded families of trotters.

Allen nnd George M. Patchen, during which they repeatedly reduced the fastest stallion record, which was left at. 2:38 by Long Island Black Hawk iu 1817, together with theVleath of the hitter soon after his retirement to the stud, made their opportunities far inferior to those enjoyed by Hambletonian. which was, with the exception of L.SGS. when prevented by sicknesp. performing stud duty from 1S51 to 1875. In that time he sired 1,331 foele, from which sprang the all-powerful family of Hambletonian trotters.

The prominence attnined by K^han Allen and George M. Patchen as trotting stallions came to them by right of inheritance, as both of them were descended from developed stallions and the turf monarchs of their day. Andrew Jacks-jn, the founder of the Clay family of trotters, was the fastest eniire horse that nppeared up to his time. In 1834 he defeat Sally Miller at Philadelphia, ina race to saddle at two mile heats, in 5:20, 5:25. The following year be met Titdy Washington and Daniel D. Tompkinc, a chestnut gelding by Winthrop Messenger, that afterwards made a record of 2:35over the same track, at two mile heats, and defeated them in 5:20. 5:17 the second heat, according to the present 1 ules, giving hiui a record of 2:3S'.:.

At that period all the trotters of note were owned in Philadelphia, Boston and New Vork, and as the latter was the most, central the champion was sent to the I'nion course the following season. While there he was bred fb the famous trotting mares, Sally Miller and Surry, the latter being at one time owned by Jacob S. Piatt. Both mares were served on the same day. fnd the following year produced Long Island Black Hawk and tlenry Clay, respectively, two stallions that made their sire's name a fixture in tho trotting records. The former was a stout-heasted horse, audin 1S48 defeated Americus, at three mile heats to wagon, over the Union course, the Red Jacket gelding winning the first heat in 8:28, and Sally Miller's son the next two in S:30,8:34. The year before he had also reduced hi6 sire's stallion record to 2:38 in tbe second heat of a race to wagon with Jenny Lind.

The record remained at this poiut until Ethan Allen made his appearance in a 4 years old race over the Union course with Rose of Washington, a bay mare by Burr's Washington, dam by General Coffee. The Morgan stallion won, and trotted the lirst heat in 2:3». Three years later he received the proud honor of being the first stallion to enter the 2:30 list, his mile in 2:28 being trotted over the Union course when he distanced George M. Patchen, the latter being handicapped to wagon. From that time the reduction of the stallion record has

been gradually approaching the limit of speed.

Ethan Allen changed the stallion record on four different occasions, while George M. Patchen had similar honors assigned him five times. The latter made his tecord of 2:23}» in the first heat of a race won by Flora Temple. He was retired in 1863 and died in 18t57. the year before Fearnaught won the 810,000 stallion race at Buffalo and reduced the stallion record to 2:23,'4. His victory gave the Morgan family the championship for the fifth time, but the supremacy, like the latter-day triumphs

erJj yyed by Jay Eye See and Sunol, vanished before the end of the season. The new champion wa9 Hambletonian's son, George Wilkes, when he made bis record of 2:22 in the second heat of a race at Providence, I.

Tae record made by George Wilkes remained at the top of the list until li7l, when it was equaled by Jay Gould, then trotting as Judge Brigham. The following year he reduced the record to 2:211.i, and in 1871 trotted the first mile ever made in public by a stallion below 2:20, at Baltimore, but was not given the record of 2:101( on account of Bashaw, jr., his only rival, being drawn. That year, however, another set of chsnipions were cutting the recorde, Smuggler having reduced it to 2:201| in the sensational Stallion race won by Thomas

i-V- ill

Jefferson at Buffalo. The following week Mambrino Gift placed the mBrk at 2:20, and a point was also reached by Smuggler in the third heat of the stallion race at Boston later in the season.

In 187G Smuggler reduced the record, held jointly by him ai5d Mambrino Gift, from 2:20 to 2:17 at Philadelphia, where he defeated Judge Fullerton. At Cleveland the mark was changed to

2:li1.|

when Goldsmith Maid, Judge Fullerton, Bodine and Lucille Golddust were defeated after the peerless daughter of Alexander's Abdallah had two heats in 2:151,, 2:16/4. At Hartford the tables were turned in favor of the mare, but not until Smuggler had won two heats in 2:15[, 2:lw and trotted a dead-heat with her in 2:1G

The record made by Smuggler at Charter Oak park remained unbeaten for eight years, when Phallas trotted his memorable fourth heat in 2:13r'.t, which is still the fastest fourth heat on record. Phallas trotted his fast mile in July, and September Maxey Cobb turned the Narragausett park track in 2:1314He died with the honors still in possession, and they remained to his credit until last Friday, when Axtell reduced not only the stallion record of the world but also the 3-years-old record to 2:12 at Terre Haute. Tbe mile is the fastest ever made by a stallion in harness, and stands first in this year of sensational performances. The following is his tabulated pedigree:

wealth of Mambrino blood mingled with that of Hambletonian and Seely's American Star. Like Phallas, he inherits the last two from his sire, and a Mambrino cross from his dam, and, like Patron, he is an inbred Mambrino. Each link of his inheritance on his sire's side- has been tested on the turf, and his immediate and remote descendants on the side of his dam heard the bell ring, both Mambrino Boy and Mambrino Pilot having records, as shown in this tabulation.

The greatness of Axtell's performance, however, cannot be estimated accurately until his 2:12 is coupled with the other fast miles he has trotted this season. He had already cut his record to 2:15' and duplicated the performance before appearing at Cleveland, where he trotted in 2:14 At the Northwestern Breeders' meeting be trotted a mile in 2:15*4, and reduced his record to 2:14 in a race. A mile in 2:19 was recorded in St. Liouis after a four-week let up, and the Terre Haute's association books Bhow two miles in 2:14.14, 2:12, the quarters for the latter beine finished in 33 seconds, 32*4 seconds, 32seconds, 34 '4 seconds

After the $105,000 transaction at Terre Haute the price of the trotte: that will reduce the record now held by Maud S. cannot be estimated, should such a phenomenon prove a stallion, or even a mare, as the above figure is $35,000 over and above the highest price ever given for a horse, although $100,000 has been refused for the reigning queen. I'p to the time that Axtell passed into the hands of the sytdicate that will control his future movements the $70,000 given for Doncaster stood at the top of the list, wit.h Blair Athol's ?60,000in second pla'e. The American prices t^egan at $51,000, which was the figure paid fo* Bell Boy by bis present owners. Stamboul sold for $50,000, while both Maud S nnd Smuggler changed owners at 140,000. A similar amount was also paid for King Thomas, after he had been knocked down at auction for $38,000.

Rirus enjoys the honor of being the highest-priced gelding ever sold, hie figure being §30,000. Pocahontrs was sold for 835,000, and Dexter §33,000. the last three prices being pnid by Mr. )b ert Bonner. Jay Gould, Lady Thorn, Blackwood and Anteeo wich sold for £50,000, and Pancoast brought $28,000 at auction, it being the highest price ever paid for a trotting stallion under the hammer until Bell Boy was led into the ring. Governor Sprague and Patron each sold for 627,500, and $25,000 was given for Happy Medium, Wedgewood, George

M. l.'atchen, Macey and Sultan. Among the other high priced ones Sam Purdy and Nutwood brought $22,000 the St. Blaise-Maud Hampton "lt $21,000 iaalind, Lulu, Startle, Lady Maud, Edward Everett and Socrates $20,000.

Sunol's brief reign apparently d:d not please her California admirers, among the telegrams received from tho Pacific coast at Terre Haute, Ind., on Saturday last, was one asking if the track was short. As the engineer's affidavit, on file at the office of the American Trotting association, states that it is seven feet over the mile the California record breakers now have a double task

before them, as they have not only to produce a three-years-old that can beat 2:12, a mark never reached by any horse in that stale, but also a stallion of any age to secure the cham pionship honors. With Sunol, 2:13 .lj, and Pulo Alto, 2:13the Electioneers have the prestige, notwithstanding the speed of Stamboul and Lillian Wilkes. On the day after Axtell'e performance Sunol started in stake at the Bay district trar^k and trotted one of the heat6 in 2:I5V The performance is a wonderful onp. but cannot be compared with that of Axtell, or her own 2:13 at Fresno.

AXTELL AT CHICAGO.

iJoblw Outline* the Programme Artanged for the Great

"Budd" Doble, the noted turfman, who has acquired an intereet, together

with Colonel Conley, in Axtell, the famous $105,000 2:12 trotter, is in the city, having arrived a day or two ago to superintend the arrangement of quarters at Washington park for Axtell and a big string of other trotters, says the Chicago Evening News of yesterday.

Axtell and about a dozen other horses, whose names need only be mentioned to recall to one's mind famous turf events in which they were winners, arrived in Chicago to day. Axtell is in splendid condition, and his sides shone like silk as he was led out of a magnificent horse palace car and into his quarters at the park. The $105,000 trotter is watched with zealous care, and on th* trip to the city two grooms were never more than a dozen feet from his stall. If that horse rube an extra hair from his coat the biggest kind of ahullaballoo is raised and an avalanche of ointment and heali.- salves comes pouring in.

The casual observer would hesitate about giving $105,000or even a twentieth part of that sum for what looks to be nothing more than an ordinary well-bred piece of horseflesh, but Mr. Doble and his associates know well that they have in Axtell a horse that will pay them handsomely for tceir immense outlay. Mr. Doble laughs at theopinion of many horsemeu that the fortune Colonel Conley and his associates invested in Axtell was money practically thrown away, and that there never was and never will be a horse of Axtell's class worth the price paid for him. "You can s'ay to all this talk about Axtell not being worth what we gave for him," said Mr. Doble, "that I have recently taken an interest in him, and I consider my investment one of the best I ever made. I know the outlay will return handsomely. I have great confidence in the colt, and know just what he is made of. I shall keep him out at Washington park for a moath. During that time he will have an eBsy lime of it, as I consider the season too late to exercise him to any extent and he will only be walked a little every day. I shan't speed him Bt all until next year, when I ^will take in hand and see wha't I can get out of him. After his stay here Axtell will be sent down to Warren park, W. P. Ij ims' breeding farm, near Terre Haute, where he will be kept all winter. Next epring he will be placed in the stud. I think such treatment will put him in the best of condition, and I expect great things of him next year. He is the most remarkable horse I ever saw."

In Mr. Doble's string which arrived with Axtell to-day are such well-known horees as the pacer Johnstou, 2:06'4 Lidy Bullion. Ed Annan, Reina Jack and Oliver K.

It is stated on exceptionally good authority that the Prince of Wales has been warned by his physicians that he has Bright's disease incurably fastened upon him, and that the exteusion of bis trip to Eiypt, which was not originally iniendtd, was at the same time ri-commendtd by these advisers as a diversion which might ass'st to kenp his mir.u from dangerous glootu. It is believed the princess and the rt-st of the rojal family have been informed as to the state of the prince's health. There seems to be no ground for immediate apprehensions, but an informant says the chauces are felt to be against his living throughjnext year.

The ifaeen has been thrown intograve eepondency by the tidings and is living more secluded life than evt*r. For the moment, however, her bodily health is hetler than for some yeurs, and there has been no recurrence of those 6trarge fits of obstinate passion which periodically feized her after tbe prince consort's death, and which, two or three yeats ago, made her intimates seriouely de.-pair of her reason. She is devoting more time to sta'e aff.iira and to routine work than customnry, and gives her evenings Blmnst entirely to listening to solemn music.

As we frequontly have Indian summer weather in November, and as many are expecting such weather this year, I-give below the result of my recent calculations, so that people may not be taken unawares:

November, 188'.), will be colder than usual for that month. There will be moderate precipitation, and in the more northern states much of it will be in the form of snow. The precipitation in the far West and Northwest will be small, increasing toward the South and East though it will not be excessive in any part of the country, except in a few spots near the coast. After tbe cold spell in tbe first half of tbe month, it will moderate for a few days, and then turn cold Again. By cold weather it is intended to say that it will be cold and raw for that month—not cold winter weather. C. C. Bi.akk.

A long freight train, drawn by a heavy Santa Fe engine, was passing that point when the boiler exploded with a fearful report, scattering the debris of the engine and the tender in all directions. The engine was completely demolished. Tbe engineer, Thomas Callihan, sged 33, and the fireman, Jack Madder, aged 30, were both instantly killed. Their bodies were badly mangled. Tbe cause of the explosion is believed to be low water in the boiler. The loss to the railway company will be about ten tboueand dollars. Both of the men who lost their lives wete unmarried.

Most railroads in this country when renewing their rails order heavier ones than have previously been used on their tracks.

As a pound rail takes a little over 100 tons per mile of single track, although over 'J pounds per yard heavier than a£G pound rail, it is eaty to Bee that the tonnage tf rails manufactured during the year is steadily increasing to ah enormous extent.
