From the Richmond whigl
The 'sSociety for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals" is an excellent institu-
ton, and in its proper sphere it has done
much good. Mr.. Henry Bergh, its presi-
dent, is an enthusiast on the subject, and
while enthusiasm in any commendable
undertaking is desirable, to certain ex-
tent, itsometimes leads to extremes, when
it not only neutralizes its good results, but
becomes actually harmful. This has been
the result of Mr.. Bergh's enthusiasm on
more occasions than one. So long as he
confines his efforts to the prevention of
cruelty to domestic animals by overwork,
abuse, starvation, &c., he is engaged in q
noble work, in which he deserves and will
receive the encouragement and support OF
all right-thinking people; but when he
places himself as an obstruction In the way
of scientific experiments intended for the
( benefit of humanity, then he transcends
Mis- proper functions, and is to be con-
demned instead OF commended.
This position he assumed when he caused
the arrest of and instituted proceedings
against Dr. B. A. Watson, of Jersey City,
Nj, for cruelty to the dogs upon which
he was experimenting. There is class of
cases, familiar to all medical men, where
the patient receives an injury to the spinal
cord which does not seem to be serious at
first, but the effects of which become
plainly evident in few days, and very
often result in death. The injury in such
cases usually results from RAILROAD acct
dents, jumps from the windows of burning
houses, falls from scaffolds, and the like,
and Dr. Watson was investigating the
character of the injuries by letting dogs
fall from the height of some twenty-five
feet upon wooden floor, striking at pre-
arranged spot, and SO producing q pre-
determined lesion.
Then by vivisection and autopsies he
studied the anatomical changes, which
arise in the progress of such cases, for the
purpose of using the information 80 OBJ
sained for the benefit of his fellow-men.
1t is stated that the dogs upon which he
Experimental were useless animals, OBJ
tanned from the pound, where they would
have been put to death anyway, and the
Doctor usually administered chloroform
before the experiments were performed.
: Nevertheless Mr.. Bergh has announced
/ that he will expend some $40, 900 or $50, 900
Hln prosecuting him if necessary, as a test
Cease. This is evidently one of the cases in
which Mr.. Bergh has let his zeal and en-
thusiasm get the better of his judgment.
and it is to be hoped that the people of
New JERSEY, or SO many of them as may
compose the jury to try this case, will
exhibit common sense enough, which Mr..
Bergh seems to lack, to distinguish between
wanton cruelty to animals and the neces-
sity for experiment and observation, in
order to derive knowledge to be used for
the benefit of the human race. Mr..
Bergh ought to lose both his money and
his case.

The Fisheries Question.

The President has taken the right
step concerning the outrages inflicted
upon our fishermen by the Canadian
Government by informing the British
Government that it will asSEredlv be
held responsible for all damages and
be keld TO reparation not merely by
the summary seizure of their vessels
and the eXaction of heavy fines in ad-
vance of hearing and Judgment,
but for the curtailment of
privileges to which they were
justly entitled under commercial
regulations. The published CORE
spoudrncc. rs conducted by Secre-
tary Bavard is statcsmanlike and
digniiied, and the Secretary talks
quite as plainly IS is the custom in
diplomatic notes. The correspondence
will uuquest,onably create very IA
vorable impression AMI remove any
feeling of dissatisfaction with sup
posed inaction. 1t now remains for
Congress to adopt the recommended
tons of the President. AMI then fort the
United States to see to it that full rep
ara:ion is made for all the losses and
damage which the American fishermen
have suffered at the hands of the Cana
dian Christian at HiOrS.

Shows an Increase.

The second annual report of the
treasury under Democra tic manage
ment is before the country, and It
shows that the net receipts for the last
yearwere 1886. 439, 900, and the net
expenditures $242, 4S3. O0O-the receipts
having been S12, $4,000 greater. and
the expenditures 81. 743, 600 less than
for the preceding year. There was a
decrease of $500, 600 in the civil ex-
penses; 100000 in the cost of foreign
intercourse; $40, 900 in the cost of the
Indian service, and similar reductions
in the War and Navy Departments, in
the expenses of the District of Column bia
and in the miscellaneous expendi-
lures. There is only one item that
shows an increase, and that is pen
sions to Union soldiers. These have
increased from $50, 102, 900 last year,
to 1868, 404, 900. 1t seems then that,
while Union veterans and widows arc
actually better taken care of under a
Democratic than under Republican
Administration, the finances of the
Government have been placed in a
thriftier condition than they ever were
before-an increased income, dimin-
ished expenditures and large surplus.
The downfall of the Republican party
did not mark the doom of the country.
1t was pretty rough on the Republican
party, but the country not only sur
wives it, but actually thrives under it.

An Era of Peace.

A noteworthy illustration Of the eX-
tent to which the South has already
outgrown the era of the Confederacy
has Just been furnished in Alabama.
4 proposition was made that the Legis-
lature should make liberal appropria-
ton for the erection of marble mon
ument at the capital in memory of the
AlabamianS who lost their lives in the
Southern army. But the new Gov
ernOr. Thomas Seay, himself soldier
on the Confederate side, in his in
augural address takes ground against
such use of the public funds, at least
until ample provision has been made
for the care of surviving soldiers. and
even questions the wisdom of such an
appropriation under any circum-
stances, recalling the fact that there
were those among the ancientS who
opposed the erection of monuments in
commcmoratiOn of the triumphs of civil
strife. and that at one time soma of
those that had been erected were RACED
10 the earth. The Noble Register, one
of the most prominent Democratic
newspapers in the State, goes still
further than the Governor. 1t argues
that the proposition is unconstitu-
tional, and that even if it were con-
stitutional. itwould not be equitable to
tax all citizens for a monument which
does not represent the sympathics of
all the people, since there are "a vast
number of taxpayers in Alabama, old
Union men and their descendants, co..
Orcd men, newcomers from the North.

An Anti-SaIarY-Grabber.

Fourteen years ago next February,
Mr.. Cox arose in the House of Repre-
sentativeS to protest against the in
famous salary-grab which the Forty
second Congress was then coutem-
plating. In denouncing the proposed
act, he was almost, if not quite, alone.
He voted steadily against the grab ut
every stage, and he voted against tie
bill in which the steal was incorpo-
rated; and when the grab went
through, he was among the first to re-
turn to the treasury the five thousand
dollars which became his share of the
ill-gotteR spoils. This record of
scrupulous integrity in the matter of
his own pecuniary relations with the
Government he serves, ought to be
enough to prevent Ohio editors. hebe-
tudinous or otherwise, from SANDER
ing Mr. Cox. No man in Congress
works harder to earn the salary that is
his just due; no man in Con eress is
quicker to refuse TO draw from the
treasury money that does not properly
belong 10 him for services rendered.
