To Miss Emily Wei BIB.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 18, 1882 -
have been intending to write to you
in regard to the way l see the poor
hors es are abused in this city, for l
seem to feel better, when | can lay the
IN after before some one who can sympa
tt ize with me. My wife to-day saw a
horse gUipg along the street limptng;
she asked the man what made him
limp; he said he did not know; she told
him to get out aud see when he found
great big nail run IN the tender part Of
his foot. But during the Bl-Centennial
was the worst time | saw as many as
two horses down in one square caused
by overloaded cars The " WOrst place in
the city, as far as my observation goes,
is at Vine Street Ferry. The hill is
steep and the IT mes are wet from con
slant use and the street IL cut up with
car tracks; it MAKES me nearly insane
TO see the poor horses pulling, slipping
and twisting ny that hlln | was there
this morning and Jhe truckers were
busy at their dreadful work; there was
a continual cracking Of whips, drivers
halloOing, horses slipping on the stones,
eve. 1t vas enough to bewilder the
devil let alone poor patient horse.
One mans wagon was loaded with
great big dry good boxes-his horse
stalled and he pulled them first on on g
side and then the other; at last asked
some men TO help me; among them was
a policeman; we put our strength to the
wagon and then they ulled up. |
would like you to have seen one of the
horses look at me with such human
look and shSke his head up and down;
| understood him to say "thank you"
The authorities should force the truck
ers to have more help for their heavy
loads. The street cars ale killing all
the horses in the country, the best
young heavy horse only average years.
Tue S. P. G. A. is a dead one here. l
only wish ! was authorized and paid
for my time, l would soon change the
tune of some of the worse than brutes.

the CLOSURE Question.

LONDON, November 16.-In the
House Of Commons to-day Thomas
Dickson, liberal, asked whether, con-
sidering the difficulties which have
arisen In the working of the arrears OIL
rent act, the government would not in
trOduce bill extending for three
mOnths the time for the payment OF all
arrears due November J., 1881. Mr..
Gladstone replied that it would be diff.
cult to amend the act this session, but
the government would do its best to
prevent the benevolent intentions OF
Parliament from being defeated.
The third rule Of procedure was
agreed to without division.
The fourth rule--that when, before q
division, the decision Of the Speaker or
of the chairman OF committee that
the "ayes" or "nOes" have 1t 10 not
challenged by more than twenty mem
Ders, the Speaker or the chairman may
forth with declare the discrimination Of
the House or Of the committee--was
passed.
On the Speakers putting the fifth
rnle-that the 81 eaker or the chairman
of a committee may call attention to
continued irrelevance or tedious repetl-
ton on the part Of q member and may
direct him to discontinue his speech
Lord Randolph Churchill moved an
amendment intended to render the rule
inapplicable as to chairmen of commit
tees. Mr.. Gladstone said he hoped the
amendment would not be pvessed, but
he admitted that the mode in which
chairmen of committees we're selected
was too off-hand, and said that con-
sidering the dignity of the office, it was
desirable that d more suitable process
of election should follow as a sequal to
these procedure rules. Lord Randolph
Churchill Withdrew his amendment
and the fifth rule was adopted.
Mr.. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary Of
Ireland, informed MIR. Tottenham that
the Irish Government has suspended
Mansfield, the resident Magistrate. who
would be removed to another district
owing to his serious iudiscretion in ar
resting Matthew Harris recently at
Newbridge, County Galway.

FOURTHEDITION


There will be another opportunity
given TO morrow to those who wish tc
spend day at Atlantic City. The
steamer Samuel NJ. FELTON, will leave
French street wharf at 6 As o'clock for
Camden, N. j., where the excursionists
will take the cars for Atlantic City. The
fare is very low, and persons who can
not get off through the week should not
fail to avail themselves of this chance
to spend a day at the seashore.
The Wilmington will make her usual
trip to Philadelphia, leaving Sbipley
street wharf at $40 o'clock, and Fourth
street wharf at O'Clock. The boat ar.
rives at Philadelphia ipkampIe time to
afford days pleasura6t Fairmount or
Ridgeway Park. The Chestnut street
cars take passengers direct to the West
Paramount Park, which is considered
the most romantic part of that beauti.
full resort.
The Susie Mccall makes her usual
trips to Pennsgrove, and ii is probable
that there is no place within easy reach
of this city where an afternoon can be
as pleasantly spent. 1t seems that
there is always good breeze blowing
there, no matter how hot it is in The
city.
The Republic connects with the Su.
sic Mccall in the morning for Cape
May, and as the fare is only 70 cents
for the round trip, DO one should fail to
visit this celebrated watering place.
The Thomas Clyde for Collins Beach |
md Bombay Hook, and the John A.
Warner for Sea Breeze, also connect !
With the Mccall, giving all an oppor.
unity of visiting some OF the most
spots on the Delaware Bay.

Democratic RIunaertnR.

The New York Herald says THE
democrats are making a poor business
of their opposition to the bill reducing
taxes. They are using il asa Dretexl
to air their various and differing opin-
ions, and the longer they keep az it the
palmer it becomes that not only have
they no Intelligent grasp of the question
at issue, but that no two democrats
agree as to what would be best for the
cCNntry.
The republican Senators, who were
Uneasy aC first because they thought de.
bate wQnld expose the insufiCienCy and
lnsincerity of their bill, are now in
clined to let the discussion go on in
democratic hands, seeing that the
longer it lasts the more plainly the
country will be able to see the absurd
ancapaSity OF the democrats to deal
with questions of taxation and the still
more ridiculous disagreement among
themselves on such questions.
Senator Harrison took the trouble
yesterday to smash his Colleague, Sen.
Voorhees,, but that was mainly because
Mr.. Voorhees, had tired the Senate out,
and the comfort of Senators demanded
some some other Democrat should have
an opportunity to expose himself.
Senator Harrison, by the way, has
made reputation this session as man
whom it is very uncomfortable to meet
in debate. In the House the democrats
are threatening to make a long debate
also on the Tax bill, when it gets over
there, and the republicans are
laughing in advance over the various
choice specimens Of democratic politi.
cal economy which will be aired there
and which will, as in the Senate de.
bate of the past week, so answer each
other that the Republicans need only
to keep silence. How long the debate
will now last, no one can fortell. The
democrats are full of speeches, each be.
Ing anxious to air his pet theories, the
republicans see so much to their own
advantage in this that they are no lon
ger inclined to interfere. Ten days ago
they felt that they had blundered bad
ly in taking up the tax bill. To-day
they see that another happy chance
the democratic blunder is hiding their
own.

A valuable cow belonging to Miss
Maggie Thompson, residing near Mt
Salem Church, met with q painful acct
dent few days ago. In the yard
where she was grazing was cess pool
covered with large door, in which
was sharp hook. The animal came
in contact with the hook, running it in
her eye and up through the eye lid.
The poor brute started to run around
the yard, bawling loudly, with the door
still fastened to her. Frank Law and
George Dougherty, hearing the noise
hurried to the scene, but so firmly was
the hook fastened in the lid of the eye,
that they were compelled to slit the lid
open, before they could get 1t out.

In the Senate yesterday afternoon,
Mr.. Butler rising to question of per-
Sonal privilege, remarked that he OBJ
served in the Record of this morning,
that a person, in another place, in dis.
cussing contested election case had
made a wantOn attack upon his (But-
ler's) character and committed a
breach of parliamentary privilege for
which he was not called to order. He
would not, at this late dav, be betrayed
into controversy with this individual
whose acquaintance he had never had
the misfortune to make, but would
rather leave him to the Judgment and
contempt of all honorable men for at.
lacking another in forum, declining
to allow a correction of the fslsehoods
he was utteriIg or the garbling of the
evidence, perversion OF the truth and
Justification of the Record.
He (Butler) had withstood the mas
titis of the Republican party in the
past, and could afford to dismiss with
this briefnotice the yelping of this cur
of low degree. The name of this crea-
ture, he believed, was Samuel II. Mil
Ter.
In the House the same afternoon, Mr..
Robinson, of New York, rising to a
question of privilege, referred to re-
mark made by Mr.. Robson, of New
Jersey, about his (Robinson's) deaf
ness. That remark was uncalled for
and ungentlemanly.
Providence had inflicted upon him
hardness OF hearing, and he attributed
II somewhat to the fact of his sitting -
near to the gentleman from New Jersey.
he knew OF only one gentleman more
to be pitied than himself, and that was
certain gentleman who had fastened
on his face the charge of being liar,
thief and perjurer, and who had been
the only member who had not heard it. |

The Sunday Law in PhIINd elPhIa
The North American of this morni nc
says:
Representatives of the Philadelphia
Sabbath Association, together with a
number OF citizens, were yesterday
granted an interview with Mayor King
Resolutions of the association relating
to the legged immOraliGies and viola.
tons OF the law praCtised at Ridgway
Park were submitted and a formal ap-
peal was made to the Mayor to suppress
all unlawful traffic.
The Mayor promised to prosecute,
even at his own expense if necessary,
all who may be detected in violating
the law, but stated that he would not
permit his officers to visit places where
liquor is sold, for the reason that If the
officers are to be of any use as witnesses
es they must themselves enter the
saloons and drinK, in which
case he considers that the end would
not Justify the means.
In reply to request to allow officers
to go TO Ridgu ay Park for the purpose
of protecting members of the associa
ton who should visit it, the Mayor
said that he could not allow his officers
to 60, but that he would furnish all
the protection possible under the cir
cumstances. He stated that means
of prosecution would be found as soon
as sufficient testimony of the
violation of the Law was fur.
nished; but as the Park is private prop
ertv, il must be proceeded against in
the same manner as private saloon In
the city. The Mayor agreed to q propo-
sition made by one of the members of
the association, that policemen should
request proprietors of segar and con-
fectioDery stores to close their places of
