THE crime of which Patrick Gallagher
was convicted in the Police Court yesterday
was one of the most atrocious THE CRITIC
has had to record for long time. The
sentence imposed by Judge Smell was none
too severe, and the pity is that Gallagher
could not be sentenced to hard labor. A
man who will treat horse as he did is not
safe man to be at large. He has murder
in his heart and would not hesitate to CON-
NIT that crime for fancied wrong. 1t is
to be hoped that Judge Smell will enforce
the law strictly in all cases of cruelty to
animals. Nip the crime in the bud. Len
iency to people who offend in assmall way
will lead to the greater brutality Of which
Gallagher was guilty.

THE Senate and House of Representatives
are very jealous of each other, and when
one assumes privilege the other wants to
follow suit. The country may therefore
expect to see each Representative asking
for a clerk at 81 900 year. If the Senator
needs one, why docs not the Representa-
tive? AS there will be nearly 800 men,
bers to be supplied, q nice sum will be re-
quired, That's a good way to get rid Of
