Animals At Large.
!2C'clcck.

Some time ago the Board Of Health, yielding
TO The clamors of the pig owners, granted them
the privilege of maintaining the nuisance from
these snims's running at large until the LIST of
January, 50 that they might have full opporsu-
nifty to ''kill and cure their stock. Last night
she Board passed q resolution to enforce the
rule. We have no idea that it will be enforced.
The hogs, cows, goats, aud geese are running at
large As gaily a. ever, and their owners have
evidently no notion OF surrendering the
privilege of making the city . common
pasture. Doubtless they will triumph
ever the Board of Health, as they did
over the Mayor aud Major Richards.
We all remember the Ma or's vigorous procla
nation setting forth that the law against AMI
mails running At large would DE duly enforced
after such date and enjoining upon the Su-
perintendent of Police the carrying out Of the
order. The Superintendent OF Police duly no
tined his men to carry out the proclamation.
The police started out with . grand flourish of
trumpets, but taking precious good care not to
get very near the animals lest they might dirty
their good clothes. However, they couldn't
help capturing three Or four porkers so fat that
they couldn't waddle; . half hipped gsnder; and
. dozen short-legged ducks, but the owners all
went mp to the Mayors office making piteous
howl over the loss of their property. and that
kind-hearted official abated the penalty and the
Iig-ewners went OF rejoicing.
This Il the way the experiment of suppressing
the nuisance has worked thus far. Now let Us
see if the Board OF Health will have more back
hone than the Mayor and the superintendent
of Police.

duties he is called upon to perform. which
would make him q more useful officer than one
who came out Of the ordeal of examinatio with
flying coiors. Then, too, Mr.. Cox Is unfortunate
in Illustrating his subject BY the remark that
"the English government has AREA 1y far out
stripped Us in reform, making An accom- piish cd
fact of that which We, who boast OF our practi-
cality, are still hesitating about" Ifthss is 50
then the Circumlo:ution Office, the Tite Barna-
cles and the Official "vho wanted to know, you
know" are al gross caricatures, and the cur
rent movement for civil service reform in CT .at
Britain il uncalled for.
We make no attack on civil service reform
it Is consunmation devoutly to be wished;
but, like revenue reform and other projected
reforms, every MAJ has his own pet theory, and
II ne ventilates it he must expect to have 1t
commented upon, and the more urgent the ne
cessity for improvement, the ksener will he the
search for defects in any plan which may be
submitted for pablic criticism. That there
should be change in the present system il not
de MED, but We have not vet seen any plan
which would accomplish practically what it
sets forth in theory. 1t is . subject which should
be carefully considered before action is taken,
OF We may find ourselves even worse of, il that
- possible, than We are now.

In view of the distractions to travel because
of the ice on the Potomac, the Richmond Dis
patch urges that it il about time that the link
wanting between Alexandra and Fredericks-
burg to make q continuous railway line be-
tween Washington and Richmond should be
completed. The Fredericksburg rail and water
line i pleasant in the summer, but slow at all
times; and in winter, when navigation Is OBJ
strueted, and mails and passengers are obliged
10 take the circuitous way of the Orange and
Alexandra. and Chesapeake and Ohio Tailro ads,
the time is further heightened by some three
hours.
Ii is matter of much Importance to Washing

this sll-rsil lire should be completed, "a large
amount OF travel would then come this way As
beng not only the shortest but very much the
quickest route between the Gulf States and

Democratic enquirer. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1867-1873, 1871-09-27

MAINE has gone Republican
by a majority larger than that
Of last year. Really, there's
nothing TO be surprised at in
this. We can only wonder
that there are 5000 democrats
in the State instead of ten times
as many. The Yankee legis-
Iation at the Federal capitol
puts money into the purses of
the people who live in the
patch of States, down east =
and Maine gets her share of
the cash thus legislated from
the West and South into the
pockets of her own citizens
Such "Republicanism' is a
mere blind for self interest OF
the grossest type. In Maine, q
democrat must be, ''ipse facto,'
an honest man.
Democratic enquirer. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1867-1873, 1871-09-27


The Republicans, with Wash.
ington city as the head center
Of intrigue, are conspiriug by
special means to beat the Dem
ocracy in every county. Mon.
ey is poured out like water,
stolen from the Treasury, and
used for corrupt purposes. In
some localities, as in Crawford,
Pike and Hooking counties,
Republicans are instructed to
nominate Democrats, and sup.
port them against the regular
ticket. In places where this
plan won't work, false Demo.
Gratis are persuaded to- run on
Independent tickets. All this
is designed to secure the cleo
tion Of the iniquitous Sherman
to the Senate.

leaks in the Treasury.

The taxes collected by the
Radical party IN power at
Washington from the people
of the United States, since the
close of the war, have amount
ed to twenty-seven hundred
millions of dollars. Try to re-
alize this enormous sum if you
can.
During the same period the
public debt has been decreased
but two hundred and eighty
four millions, Where is the
balance
The amount pf taxes col,
lected by the Radicals since the
war ended byLtss surrender
I'M 1865, is gfeaterby thirteen
millions of dollars than all the
expenditures of the general
Government, less payment on
the public debt, from the be-
ginning of the administration
Of George Washington in 1879
TO the commencement of the
administration of Abraham
Lincoln in 1861.
The truth must come out
eventually, and ju4t now there
is a strong prospect Of devel
opements that will confound

California Election.

The election was held in
California on the 9th inst. In
speaking of the result Of the
election, the Ohio Statesman
says
"The result of the election in
