Dell Rapids, Oak. Nov. 8, 1s7s.-We are
feeling gay and happy over the news from
election so far az received. OF course we do
not know, with certainty, the result Of the
vote for delegate, but from the returns re.
ceived we feel confident of
Benefits election. But let
the final result be as it may, those repub.
licans who have been gulled into supporting
Trip, by the personal popularity" dodge,
by the ''poor mans friend" dodge, and BY the
mo politics" dodge, have food for reflection
in the fact that Mr.. Trips own county,
where he, Of course is the best known, he
was more than $50 votes behind Bennett.

A Woman's View of Dogs.

Some one in New Jersey sends us the
following view of the value and risk of
dogs:
Dogs are very imperfectly domestica-
ted wild beasts. OF course all our do
nestle animals were originally wild, but
the horse, ass, COW, sheep and goat have
been much more fully tanned than the
dog, because he is carnivorOus and they
are not. 1t is uncertain whether any
carnivOrous beast can ever be so fully
tanned and changed from its wild nature
as to make it il safe inmate of the homes
of human beings and companion for
helpless children. But it is certain that
dogs in general have not thus been tam
ed or changed. They are still essen
tally wild, uncertain, capriciOus, seem
ing tame for Il time, then breaking out
suddenly into moods of Suarling irrita-
bility and feIociOus ill-temper. Nobody
knows at any time what dog will
do. Children ale often bitten and dis
figured by dogs which have been for
years trusted household pets, and the
same class of dogs furnishes Il large
proportion of the increasing hydropho-
bia of our time. Nearly all dogs are
utterly useless. Probably not one in ii
hundred is of any real use. They are
expensive as well as worthless.
Duling the last few years there has
been vast increase of rabies and hy
drophobia in this country as well us in
England. Last year I3 deaths from
this horrible and incurable disease were
registered in London alone.
In large town in England the Post
Master reported one in every five of his
letter carriers bitten by dogs in 1876.
The Registrar General reports that in
the 10 years ending with 1875, 334 per
sons died of hydrophobia in England.
In that country the leading literary
and scientific reviews are earnestly dis
cussing the necessity for effective meas
ures against the evil, but i'll this coun-
try we have not yet reached the stage
of discussion. But it is not likely to be
long before the frequency of hydrOpho-
bia with its indescribabe horrors will
bring the subject to the attention of the
WOmeR of our country in such way
that some rational, necessary steps will
he taken in regard to it.
People who like dogs have right 10
raise them in cages, or to keep them
chained, for their amusement, but they
have no right to permit Il dog to 90 into
the streets or roam about with his arm
ed jaws out of Il muzzle. Intelligent
mothers will soon refuse to send their
children on errands to places where
dogs are kept. At present the path to
the school and the church is not safe.
