A FAR MORE CRUEL ACT
Than Agent Key, of the Humane So
ciety, Ever RepOrted.


There was great deal of indignation at
Draney's stables this morning at the cruel
way in which Agent Key, of the Humane
Society, killed a horse. A gentleman who
was present stated to CRITIC reporter that
the agent led horse into tho yard and
said he was going to kill it because it was
afflicted with blood-poison. He said
bo supposed the correct place to shoot
horse was behind the ear. He fired away,
and the horse fell and got up again. He
called to the mon present to hold the ami
NAL down, but they did not respond.
He then shot the horse ou the other side
of the head. The poor animal began shak-
ing its head in terrible agony and Mr..
Key recovered and fred away at point
below the eye. A, there seemed to be NO
prospect Of the horse being shot in vital
spot, except by accident. gentleman
stepped up and instructed the alleged hu-
manitaran to shoot the horse in the fore
head Tho shot was fred as directed aud
the horse fell dead In his tracks
The society has made complaint about
the brutal way in which dogs are shot at the
pound, and Agent Key has made sugge5-
tions in the matter, but IL he would pay
the pound visit and take a lesson in
shooting animals, he would learn some-
thing that would be of interest to him and
the poor animals that fall into his hands
for annihilation.

One of the cities Of New Jersey is largely
engaged in the manufacture of glassware
especially bottles. A Republican was speak
ing there few days since. The meeting
was largely composed of glsssblowers and
other workers in glass. The speaker had
on the platform a large trunk, from which
be took specimens of various kinds of bot
ties manufactured in various parts of
Europe, the cost Of each marked ON it. One
kind could be imported and laid down in
New York for price that was % per cont.
below the cost of an American article of the
same kind. Another cost 30 to 30 per cent.
less, aud another 40 to 45 per cent less.
Now, suppose, said tho speaker, that there
was no tariff in favor of American manu-
factures-what would become of them?
And what would become of the men they
employ? What would they do II free trade
became our policy? Should thoy go to
Europe, or remain in America and COM
pete with our farmers? These facts and
these questions brought the issue right
home to the operatives present from the
glass works, and it is safe to assume that
the Free Trade candidate will not receive
any votes from among those glassworSers.

Democratic Economics in Ante-BeI-
Iuu naYa.

d. o. Forney In his correspondence from
thls city 70 the northern press, hits the Demo-
crallc party some hard llcks. We extract a
rev paragraphs from one OF his recent letters,
In which he says!
"Let mo give you few facts touching the
official honesty OF the Democratic party when

ment. From the statistical records OF the

fragments 70 what they are to-day, and such

ury was never heard OF. In those days tho
dovernment was short, and under Mr.. Buch'
anan'e administration we paid 1914 per cent.
Tor money, while under President Arthur we
can gel all We want for 3 per cent. In fact con-
ndence is so strong that no doubt thousand
million OF tho public debt could be funded In
a BOND OF no interest-simply for the safety OF
lne security. Until Mr.. Buchanan's time the
public expenditures always exceeded the re-
ceipts-the idea OF a surplus would have been
laughed al. Imagine, II you can, the effects
OF turning over the Treasury Department OF

The 256,O00 will bo overcome in this way,
and we ask the Eagle to watch aud see how
easy it is done;
First-75,000 Tammany men won't vote
for Cleveland. Loss, 5000.
Second-150.000 Irish-Amercans will
leave Cleveland and vote for Blaine, max
ing a loss of 100000.

third, did you say No more there isn't.

themselves Republican club, which has
been filing and fooling over tho question,
Shall we support Blaine or Cleveland ?

votes Of this club, and If he loses enough
other Republican votes in the State to make
up, with the Brooklyn loss q total loss OF
25G,7i3, that will bo Clcveland's exact gain,
and he will carry the State. Pretty
