Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

Ifthere is society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals in this city, and if that society has
president and ifthat officer is invested with legal
authority to make arrests for acts of cruelty the
icy condition Of the streets yesterday merning
and the indifference OF drivers and owners OF
hOTses, to the comfort Of their animals, would
have offered numerous opportunities to exercise
such authority, and to have prevented many acts
of barbarity. This was especially noticeable in
the condition and abuse of the horses upon the
lines Of street cars. Scarcely a horse was pro-
Vided with sharpened shoes for the emergency
Every step Of the animals was slip, and the act
Of starting car, when at rest was painful in the
extreme. The penny wise and Ound-foolish''
policy OF horse owners to say nothing Of the abso
lutte cruelty praeticed in neglecting to wrought
shoe horses which are to be worked on such q day
as yesterday. should receive the severest con-
domination Of all persons.
Much is said in newspapers OF the work done by
the agentE Of the abOye-named societies. but care
full examination is hardly able to discover any
acts Of disinterested kindness as simple Bhila1-
thropy. Arrests for cruelty are most common,
in cases where fine can be imposed and collected
and not simply to save helpless animals from acts
Of needless severity. When more acts Of pure
kind-heartedness, and less Of gain are discovered
the community will have more confidence in the
professions Of the actors.

DR.. Lowrie said the question Of salaries was
part Of the unfinished business Of last year: He
thought there should be some discrimination in
salaries. Some Of the noblest men in the land
were going into this work without regard to sala-
rles.
Interior or himself had not anything to do with
this matter, 1t was entirely out Of the hands Of
the Department; He thought q, 500 was not sal
br. Thompson said that he was glad he came.
At present he thought there was . crisis. He
thought the Church should be awakened and the
Churches should be pledged to the officers of the
Government. He offered the following, which
ResoIped, (by this conference representing
number ofrellgious bodies Of this country which
have been called by the Government to q share
in the work Of ciyiliIing the Indians,) That on
the review Of the labors of the year past reveal
ing great and positive advance in eivillEing and
chrstianiEing these wards OF the nation, our con-
fdence in the wise and humane Indian policy Of
our honored Chief Magistrate is unabated.
Maj. Ingalls, said he entered the work for the
love Of Il. His life in Nevada, Arizona and
Utah had been faithfully spent in eleVating the
poor Indian. During last year he, in company
with MAJ. Powell, visited some sixty odd tribes.
The desire on the part Of me n6sn' I On sns
who, q few years since, lived on rats, mice, liz
ards, &C., are now gathered together and are
funds are wanted for this purpose The Chris
tian employee on the Pacific coast does his work
without appreciation. He hoped the Churches
would be more earnest and the Christian heart
kindled anew.
The population has largely increased since the
close OF the war In the Indian Territory. He
closed by asking his hearers to remember the De-
partment OF Indian Affairs that it may receive
the grace of God. -..r -...-. $40. -.
Mr.. Lang expressed his qualification at meet
ing SO many interested In the great work, and he
was glad to hear such encouraging expressions.
The Chair said IL had been an occasion Of great
protit to him. He hoped they would all go back to
their work with greater determination. He i'd
vised them to be careful about their selections Of
agents. He had received at least $50 applications
forp and II0 Of the reliQlOus 4
dead beats. He closed by again thanking them
for their earnestness in the work.
