CRuElrY 10 ANNALS.

Il CRUELTY TO ANNALS
Frequently we have called attention
to this subject; and unfortunately reason
always exists to keep it in mind. Innate
cruelty oftemper is always found promp
and willing to vent itself upon the help
less; the pride Of the possession Of poWel
at will always finds exercise on the veal
and the inferior; the fervor Of competition
sometimes leads to the same end, cruelty
that is iuconsiderate and thoughtlees
rather than deliberate and heartless
But in either and all of these cases, the
victim is. the dumb beast, helpless be
cause yoiceless, making no renonstrance
except as uttered through the eloquent
appeal of wounds or sores, or limpine
motion, or gasping sides, or the outward
signs that unmistake keably expose the
hard usage of heartless or thoughtlesa
masters. Where interest or inclinatioh
does not come in to enforce what hum
anity demands, the sense of society, e
expressed through the law, must have its
expression. It is to the honor Of this
age, conspicuous for its humanity. that Il
has enlarged its field ofsympatbv b sord
human suferinGf and enbEAcea lin
its charge the brute creation, the serV-
ants, the companions or the friends OF
man. And surely it was fit that such en-
largement should be made; for in no
other condition is the true temper and
disposition of men displayed than its re-
lation to animals. For pleasure. for
sport, for business, for labor, everywhere
Is there occasion for the exerciseor abuse
of power, of the display of kindness or
of cruelty. On the streets, on the roads,
in the field, everywhere, man proves
that ID worthy of his trusts or is fit subject
for the interposition of the law, and the
law is now framed that makes interpos1-
ton possible. The definition of cruelty
to animals in its various forms is made
sufficiently clear to fix the fact of mis-
demeanor, which the law declares it to
be. The trouble is about the enforce
ment of the law. Every day in the week
instances of fragrant violation occur,
shocking to humanity, painful to wit
ness, narrowing to the feelings. Yet,
because spectators do not care to appear
as compliments or as prosecutors, be-
cause they do not care to make personal
issues as between themselves and the
subjects of complaint, these latter 20 on
unobstructed, and the law remains as a
dead letter; in most instances; for we
have seen recently the imposition of
heavy fines upon two young men in
Charlotte for fast and cruel driving,
This is one of the many forms of cruelty.
1t is therefore left to the officers of the
law to determine whether the statute is
to remain dead letter or otherwise.
We urge upon Judges to charge upon
the violation of this law; upon Grand
Juries, to investigate and return bills for
the violation of this law; upon officers of
the law to arrest for violations of the
law. More than this it is not in our
power to urge. But there is a strong
public sense behind US which rebels at
immunities permitted and which will
never be content until there is practical
application of those principles of mercy,
which suggested interposition ia behalf
of the helpless dumb creation.

The objects aimed ak, are
1st To provide safe place of deposit
for a part of the earnings of laborers ol
mechanics, where they will increase by
interest at rate of per cent per annum
Compounded monthig.
End, To enable such Of its members as
wish to build, or improve their houses,
to procure money for that purpose, and
to repay the same in monthly install
mentss with per cent interest on the
amount actually borrowed.
The plan of conducting its business is
as follows:
On the first Wednesday of each month
(beginhing with this month, the mem-
bers viii pay to the Treasurer one dollar
on each share, and each borrower will
also pay one twelfth of the annual inter-
est on his debt. The total amount col
lected, is on the evening of that day
loaned to one or more members, by the
Board OF Directors, and so on until the
stock is worth 500 per share
As an example.
Suppose the association to start on
Wednesday next with one thousand
shares. Then on that evening the Di-
rectors will lend out 81 900. and on the
1st Wednesday in November, they will
have to lend 81 900 dues, and $666 in
terest, being one twelfth OF $4,000, the
annual interest on the loan made in DC.
tober, and thus it is increased each
month by the interest on all loans pre-
yiously made. Any one taking the
trouble to calculate it will find that
during the first year the profits appear
small, but after that they increase rap
idly.
Thus the interest on each hundred
shares will be in the first year $44.96
in the second year 1880
in the third year 16019
Sc, &C., &.
These figures show the advantage to
non borrower.
The member who borrows can easily
calculate how much it will cost, thus:
The stock will mature, according to the
above statement, in six years and five
months from organization therefore a
member borrowing 500. at first meeting
and keeping it until the last, will pay in
dues, $77.00
and in interest, $5I.S3
In all 1888.
OF course the later he bor-ows the less
he will have to pay.
The success of an association depends
on the integrity, and ability of its Dtrec.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR AND THOMAS D
JOHNSTON,


A communication in yesterday morn
ing'e AdUarce, signed Mechanic" renews
the assault made in the last campaign
against Mr.. Johnston for alleged un-
friendliness to laboring men. That
charge was met and disposed of effectu-
ally at the time. In connection with it,
we are enabled to state positively that
the Knights of Labor here have industri-
ously investigated the relations of Mr..
Johnston to the labor interests of the
country in his capacity as member of
Congress. They find in all the legisla-
ton relative to those interests Mr.,
Johnston's votes and labors were always
in favor of the labor interests; and the
organization here is SO well assured on
that point that they will cast their vote
for that gentleman. They are not to be
diverted by the revival of old charges
which fell to the ground when they were
first made and scrutinized.
