MAD DoGs.-Editor Star, We respectfully call
the attention OF the Mayor and Councils to the
points invoy led in the following article from the
Chlcago Tribune. IL the conclusions arrived at
oy the scientific men of France are correct and
all the evidence thus far obtained sustains them
our city legislation in relation to dogs has b-e
all wrong, and instead OF dminishfnp il, fen
dency thus far has been to increase bydrephO-
Oia. The tax upon male dogs is 50 per annur:,
wnle upon females il is s5; and yet il is clearly
proved that this terrible disease originates al
gays with the male, Hecer with the female, a nj
scarce ever, II at all, among dogs that run wild
Mhere the sexes are nearly equal in number
Let the higher tax be levied upon the male re-
Nersing the operation of the law rs IL now stands
anu as the female IL quictcr, more domestic, and
letter tempered than the male, she will be pre-
Fafeu, 10 sufhcient extent, to obyIate the pres
ent d,sproportion Of the sexes, and the result
VIII be that we shall not have a single case of
hydrophobia, where now there are twcnt;:
, he fact that our police have killed more
IMAM hfteen hundred dogs on the South Side
curing The past year, and corresponding num-
oeis on the North and West Sides, by the use of
POISONED meat, would imply that CONSIDERABLE
lahor is being performed TO keep our dog crop
wen harvested as the most effectual means of
preventing hydrophobia. II the Researches of
french surgeons and physicians within the past
ten years are true, our mode OF warning against
hSuiophobla Is rot sound or intelligent one
ana might as easily promote the disease as ,ii-
mlDiSh it. They have substantially proven that
this disease originates in the male dog ONLY and
results from his undue exclusion from the com
