We will not vouch for the color or design
Of the picture he will receive, but we
guarantee it will be satisiactory--to some

hog might use it; yet, the hog could
not use it like a man. A human being

can never elevate hog to the stand.
ard Of manhood. A man would not
seek to besmired neighbours property
With the colorado elections of his habitu-
al "quid;" hog would chew tobacco
for no other purpose, except to be hog
eish. Hence we conclude that the ami.
NAL who so flthily defaced the aforesaid
sign, is not man, but hog. And, in
this comparison We feel that VIC have,
rather, slandcred the ordinary hog.
In his advice to young men on the use
oftobacco, Horace Greely said: "Boys
if you chaw, chaw plug its nastier. ~
Yet Mr.. Greedy was addressing speci-
mems of the human family. What he
would have said to the peculiar structural
formation Of whom or of which VIC are
speaking, we can conjecture. Sometime
ago the windows of Mr.. Greenbur.' 8

bombarded with tobacco juice aud guilds
of course at night time. The spirit
which prompts such acts of barbarity
and flthincss is kin to that which
actuates the thief, burgular and mid.
night assassin. 1t is brutal, cowardly
and malignant disposition, either natural
or cultivated, in the exercise Of which Its
possessor seems to experience special de-
light. We regret that our city is dis
rraced by such an element OF total de-
pravity. 1t is certainly not the pro-
ducts Of our churches and schools. 1t
must be the offspring of some remnant
OF barbarous age, which has cut lived

by special edict of the Almighty powers
to illustrate the difference between com.
mon decency and the rottenness of

Six Of that committee voted against

was disposed of they voted on local

eight to one, the one being Reddleberyer

voted for straight prohibition as he did
on the first vote. 1t is expected that he
