Fight i'm n Cage with "a Tiger.

4 terribly sensational incident marked
one OF the performances last week at the
Cape Menagerie. now exhibiting 1t -.
Etiennc. AgOp. the tanner, had scarcely
entered the cage Of one Of the tigers when
the ferocious brute sprang upon him, and
began worrying him with tooth and claw.
The audierce screamed with horror, women
tainted away. and a general rush for the
door OF the tent began. Agop, however,
kept cool, and in spite Of some fearful
decorations all over the body and great
loss Of blood. fought with such deter
mination that be finally oyercame the
tiger, which crouched down At his feet. Not
content with this victory, Agop was fool
hardly enough to force it through it, usual
exercise, 10 the w0nderIent and admiIa-
ton Of the crowd. who bad stopped mo-
mentariy 10 their flight. The tanner then
left the cage. and, I'll torn and bleeding As
he was, proceeded to that containing .

OF Pernet. one OF his predecessors in the
porilous situation. He entered the cage to-
tally unarmed, and succeeded in putting
the lioness through her habitlIai jumps, after
which he left the cage-this time at least
Needless to say, the spectators were huShed
during the dangerous performance, and
gave Il sigh OF relief when it was all over.
AgOp then had his wounds dressed.

The Providence journal saws !:

"The grievance OF the South, as inter
| preted by the Dispatch, is just what we
said in substance that 1t was-a desire on
| the part OF the white and more intelligent
Ind stronger minority TO direct political
| affairs, entirely irrespective Of the rights o;
the weaker majority, and unrestralned by
the exercise OF Federal power, in accord.
! ance with the Constitution and the Statutes
OF the United States, in defence and vindi.
cation OF the rights OF the majority"
Wrong. The grievance OF the South, as
plainly set forth by the Dispatch, is that the
Constitution and Statutes OF the United
States have been prostituted in the interest
Of the Republican party; that the Federal
courts have too often been made instruments
OF oppression, and that the South has been
subjected to Federal interference with the
freedom OF elections thai would not have
been tolerated at The North.
The Journal also says:
al the Dispatch does not mean this, then
there Is no grievance, and nothing to COM
plain about. Vote for Grover Cleveland
says the Dispatch, il you wish to see the
South free once more And now the Dis
patch says in spirit, IL not in letter, that by
freedom IL means freedom from Federal in
reference, by courts OF law or congress
sional action, in southern elections. That
Is all, or most, that We assumed TO have
been meant. The question is whether the
North is prepared TO grant TO the South
freedom that would be used in defeating
the main object OF the maintenance OF a
republican form Of goyernment-the rule
OF the majority, that is, the majority OF le-
gally-quali6ed voters"
Partly wrong and partly right. The
Dispatch objects TO any Federal interfer-
ence, by courts OF law or congressional ac-
ton, In southern elections which il not
known in northern elections. The Dis
patch objects to one Interpretation Of the
Constitution and the laws in dealing with
the South and smother in dealing with the
North. When the Journal says the
question Is ,nhether he North is prepared
TO grant the South freedom, &C., it clearly
intimates lis adherence TO the radical doc.
'rine-which doctrine the Administration
has put into praclice-that the two geo.
graphical sections are not entitled 10 eoua
rights under the Constitution IL the enjoy
ment OF equal rights with the North by the
South interferes with the designs of the
Republican party. II the rights and free.
dom Of the South are dependent upon what
the North chooses to grant, 1t would be more
homes, TO call the Federal laws and Con-
stitu,ion the laws and Constitution of
the northern States, and put an end to the
miserable farce OF Dragging about our
republican form Of government" The
Journal not only fully Iustifes the Dispatch
in saying, "yote for GROVER CLEVELAND
II you wish to see the South free once
more" but Is entitled TO our thanks for
introducing that injunction in the article |
from which we have quoted.
