THE uNTAxRD DOGS,
People who Love Their Animals
49, 49, Coming Up and Paying Taxes.

People who Love Their Animals
49, Coming UP ana Paying Taxes.
The dog-license clerk is the busiest man
in the employ Of the District Government
at tho present time. The decisions of tho
Police Court judges, who recently held
that all dogs were taxable property, and the
largo number of prosecutions for violating
the law, have created something of panic
among the owners of unlicensed CANNES,
and they besiege the Collectors office in
large numbers every day for tags" and
there is constant stream OF customers
present, and tho clerk has not had time for
lunch in week.
His sales have averaged $50 per day for
the last week. which nets tho District $500
per day for dog licenses. There have been
3,400 tags sold up to date. The Poundmas-
ter is also getting his work in on the dogs.
Persons who cannot pay tho So tax on
their dogs and don't care to be taken into
the Police Court, notify the Poundmaster
that the dog Is at his disposal, and he coll
lects about twenty Of such dogs daily
from the residences Of their owners, besides
catching about the same number of vagrant
ours on the street. All dogs surrendered
are killed at the pound, and great num-
Der Of the captured ones share the same
fate. The statistics of the pound for the
fiscal year just ended show that there were
1900 dogs impounded and 2,5i0 Of them
were killed. The number redeemed was

The Letter that Blaine Did Not
Suppress.
New York Tribune

new YORK TrlDune.
The new publication embraces that very let
ter OF Oct "a, 1874, which Mr.. Blaine has for
eight years been accused Of suppressing. As
the Sun showed with great clearness, the Oft
reiterated charge was reduced at last to this
one lettor, which was named in Mulligan's
memorandum, but which Mr.. Blaine declared
was not In the package received and publicly
read by him. Continually the Times, the Post,
and other papers have repeated that Mr..
Blaine lied, aud had deliberately suppressed
this letter. Yetnow the laundering rage OF his
bafiied accusers produces 1t from their own
stock, and makes one thing clear: Eight years
Mulligan has seen Mr. Blaine falsely accused
Of suppressing this letter, and has known all
the time that tho charge was false, because
he held In his possession the proof. YET he
has kept back that proof, and silently allowed
tho lie TO go on doing Its dishonest work, and
thus has made that lie his own In order TO
blacken the character OF Mr.. Dlaine. In the
light OF this fact, who should now be beloved,
Mr.. Blaine, who told the truth, or his accusers,
self convicted OF falsehood2 And why was this
letter then suppressedi because, as It now
proves, Fisher and Caldwell had failed to
make good pledges upon which Mr.. Blaine had
borrowed $4,000 for their benefit.
