Henry Bergh, President of the So.
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals, died Monday, at his home
in New York. In 1852 he was Sec.
rotary Of Legation atSt. Petersburg,
but resigned two years later, and on
bis return devoted himself to the
noble charity Of protecting the brute
creation from cruelty. BY his death
has been removed a man of noble in.
stincts whose loss is to be greatly
deplored. He was a humanitarian
in the broadcast sense in that he
sought to ennoble human nature by
teaching men to be careful and ten
der of the lives Of brutes. He was a
man, too, who had the courage of his
convictions in remarkable degree.
Reformers such as he are prophets
of that highest civilization that will
come when the minds of men are i'm.
bued with the true principles of
Christianity.

NO HARM In HONEST CRITICISM.

Our experience has been that honest
criticism should rather be courted than
deprecated, and that far from doing a
good cause an injury it often leads to
the highest success.
The greatest failures in the history of
the world were those in whose scenes
the actors could brook no criticism and
suppressed honest expression of thought
by law or by force. One-course move
ments begin in supreme security of right
and end in dismal failures of wrong.
Rings are thus formed in politics ;
cliques in craftsmanship privileged
orders in religion the source of tyran-
ny to under humanity 1.-The climax of fail
ure and folly in the guise of human per-
lection.
In our short career as country pub
Usher we have suffered a fair share of
abuse for honest criticism. The success
of our humble efforts has always been
in proportion to the Indifference mani
tested towards what people will say, /"
We have never wanted friends to ap-
prove of our course and the end has ever
justified such approval.
Particular instances are not wanting
at our door. The corporation was
threatened with dire disaster when the
street lights lay in the darkess of ruin
along the sidewalks when the streets
were in shameful condition; when the
municipal management was faulty; the
town not only lives while these evils
have been remedied, but the enemies of
new order of things now see the errors
of the old. So in politics the party
would be split and ruined, and now it
is stronger than ever and the politics of
all parties purer and better.
Applying this to the state develop
ment movement, we are sure it will suf-
fer nothing by honest criticism, and no
words of ours will be misunderstood.
We ask only to take one single in
stance that is the experience in every
community: the public men who have
shared all the honors, privileges and
made all the money ac-
the largest possessions, are
the ones who have done the
least for the town and their fellowmen.

whites gave them twenty minutes to surrender.
Before the time expired the negroes burst forth
from the house and began firing. The
first volley wounded horse. The
firing then became general. The negroes
again shut themselves up in the house and fired
from the windows. and the whites returned the
fire. The shooting lasted an hour and q half.
At the end OF this time E. p. Smith made q
dash for ths house, and was shot dead while
forcing 10 the door. Only one man had the cour-
age or fooihardiuess to accompany Smith in bis
attack. This man escaped and retreated. The
negroes now became frightened and fed from
the house Thirteen of them were killed, eight

say three or four more were KILLED. None of the
negroes escaped except those who surrendered
