1t seems there are more dogs running around on
the east side than on the west side. suppose
this is owing TO the fact that the boys find II too

Energy Required In the Dog Slaughter.
To THE EDrTOR OF THE HERALD
The decided position the HERALD takes in favor
OF exterminating street dogs finds hearty in
dorsement with the public generally, and is In
happy contrast with the silly sentimentaity ut
tered by one or two OF the New YORK dailies, who
would have us believe that vagrant ours are dear,
harmless creatures, and should. be allowed the
largest liberty in the public highways. Your cor
respondent, ''Citizen." of June 81, hits the nail
squarely on the head, and with him say, kin
all the dogsn 1t Is too late for Mr.. Bergh and his
agents 70 waste time by trying to lind way BY
which dogs may expire pleasantly. We want to be
rid OF them summary and at once. The method
OF determination is OF but little consequence just
now, SO that they be hustled on; nor need we
stand upon the order Of their going. Unless the
authorities proceed en- theoretically IN this matter
our citizens will do the WORK on their own re-
sponsibillty, revolver IN hand. Perhaps this viii
prove the efectual method after all.

The Political situation.

LACK OF AGREEMENT AMONG REPUBLICANS AZ TO
THEIR POLICY THIS WINTER.
Especial Telegram 10 the N. Y. Times Of To-das !
WASHINGTON, Dec 8.
Conversation with many Members OF Congress
who have arrived in the city gives confirmation
OF the political Generalization that exists, and
il likely to interfere with the necessary and i'm
portant legislation of the session. No two mem-
bers can be found whose views are in harmony
concerning the policy that ought to control the
Republican majority during the next session.
There has been good deal OF talk of a caucus.
and one will probably be held soon after the be-
ginning of the session but what will bo pro-
posed, or what propositions have any chance
Of success, are wholly unknown
There are really but few who regard
the financial question ss OF any vital political
Importance disagreeing in this particular from
few men Of radical views on either side. The
political reverses Of the Autumn are almost uni
versally charged upon the Administration, 4,
which, it is declared, has lost, by some
means or other, the confidence OF the peo-
pie. The statements OF reasons for the feeling
of the people against the Administration are
numerous, and 1t s noticeable that none accept
any portion Of the responsibility for the past
for themselves personally, or Congress as g
body. There is good deal OF elimination and
recriminaton. though the hope is expressed by
many that the language of private conversation
will not find utterance on the floors Of Congrese,
where it would destroy all hope of party union

The Fire at Lebanon.

FURTHER PARTIcULARs-THE ORIGIN ATTRIBUTED
TO SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
The Dover Deldlcdredn, of this morning,
says
No cause Of the fire is given. 1t is said that it
caught in place where no fire was ever kept.
There is some suspicion that it originated from
spontaneous combustion in the room where a
large stock Of printed labels were stored. For
tunatey stock valued at 717 900 had been
shipped few days before the fire. The amount
Of stock, including cam cd and preserved fruits,
tin In Sheets &C. in the building at the time OF the
fire, is valued at 1916, 900. The building which
was of wood, with machinery and fixtures, was
valued at $4,000.
The destruction Of this building throws about
forty hands out of employment during the win
ter During the canning season about 300 hands
found employment in it. AT this season a small
force only was engaged in making jellies and
manufacturing cans for next seasons work. We
presume that new buildings will be erected i'm
mediately, and the business resumed as soon az
possible.
The insurance, which is distributed among
several companies, is about $53,000 $4,000 OF
this is in the Kent County Mutual but as the
policy in this company also covered some build
ings that were saved, viz two dwellings and a
receiving house, its pro rata Of the loss will not
