itself SO much as upon the public feeling
concerning 1t; and, as a rule, the public
care very little one way or another.
Thus, the whole question resolves Itself
into q question Of education, and be-
comes In Its final analysis matter for
the phiIanthropist, the family. the pull
pit, the press and the school. rather than
a matter for the courts. All that the
law can do is to prevent the public ex-
hibition OF that which Is supposed to
tend toward the EQUALIZATION Of society,

The brutalizing tendencies Of human life
in Its utter disregard Of itself, in the in
humanity Of man towards his fellow, In
the corruptions that debauoh all sense of
good, in the inequalities of human con-
dition. In the dense ignorance which
darkens the land and In the utter disre-
gard with which the sutferings Of the
destitute are passed by on the part OF
sooiety-there are the things that show
our native brutality thousand fold
more wildly than dispute in chick
pit. The LIGHT in no sense apologies
for the chicken pit. 1t unqualitiedly de-
nounces it. 1t calls upon the police OF
this city to enforce the law against 1t
vigorously. and yet the LIGHT says that
the effect of a chicken dispute, across
the San Pedro, is infinitely less bruta-
LIKING than a thousand things which oc-
cur on the streets and in the homes, and
in the prisons. and under the eye and
sanction OF law, and concerning which
no remonstrance Ia made.

CANNOT SEE FOR REASONS.

SAINNOl DEE run NCHooINos
There are laws which govern mans
Intellectual and political perceptions, as
there are laws which govern his materi-
al vision. The man who lacks honesty
in himself cannot recognize that honesty
in another, because its recognition in
another is a confession of judgment
against himself. Ingersoll says that
every man makes his own god. and In
the sense that every man must worship
what his own imagination, or power of
mental construction, conceiyes his God
to be, is undoubtedly true. Just so
every man has his own conception of
political honesty, as we'll as business
honesty, and it is not in the nature of
things that he should see in others an
honesty of either kind which finds
no counterpart in himself. 1t is
true, man may sense things
honestly and follow dishonest practices,
and this man will sense an honesty in
others which finds no manifestation in
himself, but the sense OF that honesty
must first De in himself before it can be
recognized as existing In another. This
is emphatioslly true of all ideas of polit-
cal honesty. The man who conceives Of
political honesty as merely the necess-
ties Of a political expediency, cannot un-
derstand the political honesty of another
whose political life is regulated by a
fixed principle, and who, in political
matters, as in all else, speaks the thing
he thinks, does the thing he says, and
sbides by the thing he has announced
that he will do.
These men. who have no con eeption of
political honesty aside from the demands
OF expediency, and who become politi-
cally ali things to all men in order to
serve themselves. these men cannot
bring themselves, even now, to believe
that James G. Blaine is honest in his
assertion that he Is not In any sense
candidate for political honors in this
year OF grace 1888. Knowing themselves,
that II such an honor, as the nomination
to the presidency OF this nation, were
within their grasp prospectively they
would move heaven and earth for it's at.
tainment, they cannot understand how
any other man could do other wise. They
would not refuse to become candidates
for any Office to which they aspire and
cannot see how another should. AS a
consequence, therefore, they conclude
that that other man Ia not in earnest in
his declination, and regard his utter
ances on that subject as the mere mouth
1ngs OF political expediency which
consents, while saying it will not. The
positive declaration OF Mr.. Blaine that
he is nota candidate for the presidential
nomination at the hands of his party ia
direct, positive and should be accented
as conclusive. 1t is enough for his
enemies to say that his declination ia
not made In good faith, his friends have
no business to attempt to stultify him
Mr.. Blaine has never played fast and
loose with his party. AS a republican
he has always been IN The van, and his
position fearlessIy assumed and squsrely

BRUTAL SPORT.

A sporting man of this city entered
the sanctum of the LIGHT yesterday and
announced in very strong language bis
utter detestation of the barbarous sport
Of cock fighting, q favorite amusement
of the Mexican contingent across the
San Pedro. A little conversation elici-
ted the fact that this gentleman had re-
Gently witnessed the sport, having taken
impressed with it's utter barbarity. He
had long desired to see a chicken dis
pute scientifically conducted. and his
curiosity being gratified, his indignation
took fire and he damned the whole thing
in good set terms. Not content with let
ting his indignant blood boil in silence,
he endeavOred to elicit the good
Offices Of the LIGHT in an unqualified
condemnation of the sport, and an ap-
peal to the proper authorities or to the
society for the prevention of cruelty to
animals, to prevent it.
On general principles the LIGHT is OPP
posed to all barbarous treatment of hu-
man beings, animals, birds and all sen-
tient things. There is natural and IN
avoidable suffering enough in this world,
under the existing conditions of life,
without unnecessarily adding thereto.
Bull fighting, prize fighting, dog fight
ing, cock fighting, badger batting, cock
oh Gnh nd no puh nl
alogue of contests of this kind, are cruel.
They infict needless pain and foster an
unfeeling spirit in humanity. Concern
this matter there is but one opinion
among the cultured classes, cultured.
that Is, in the American sense and &C
ceptance of the term. But there
are so many different ideas of
culture, so many differing con-
ceptions of what ia cruel and what is
dtverting, that it is very hard to draw
fixed lines. Ladies of refinement and
great kindness and sweetness of dispo-
sitiOn, grow accustomed to the cruelties
Of the Spanish and Mexican bull fights
and revel in the enjoyment of a specta-
Gle that would harrow all the soul of an
American lady no whit more refined or
kindly dispositioned than her foreign
sister. The very gentleman who stood

and take the trail after poor Bob

with broken wing, he will coolly take 1t
by the legs, knock its head against the |
barrel OF his gun, shove it into his game

GRAFTON OF the sufferings OF his |
victim. 1t would be called q re-
finement OF sensibility to cry
out against quail and pigeon shooting
as cruel sports. When Bergh attempted
to suppress these sports in the east, he
was met with a storm Of opprObrium
and was defeated In his object. When
he attempted to prevent cock fighting
he had little difficulty In at least secur-
ing a sentence Of the courts against the
practice, and yet the one is per 80 as
cruel and unnecessary as the other.
This proves that the condemnation
visited upon any sport, characterized as
brutal, does not depend upon the sport
