THE DOG NUISANCE.

The traditional sensation created by
the bull who had been turned loose in a
china shop was tame affair in comparl-
son with the excitement an angered
bulldog raised on lower Third street
yesterday afternoon. The hall dozen
or more people whose lacerated flesh
bears testimony to the good condition OF
the dogs teeth were scarcely less
frightened than scores of others who
were fleeing in all directions to escape
the assaults of the Infatuated beast.
Fortunately, there is no reason to sup
pose that the brute was afflicted with
rabies, or that the persons who were
bitten will experience any trouble be-
You'd the pain of a mangled leg. But
it is not owing to any care exercised by
either the owner of the dog or of the
police officials that the animals fOray
was not of more tragic nature. 1t
would have been adj the same if it had
been rabid animal.
The point we wish to make in connec-
ton with this incident is that we have
mighty poor dog law in this city. or
what little we have is poorly enforced.

ming around loose through the streets.
We know the Partially a great many
persons have for the canine race, and we
respect the sentiment. We know that
there are people who will bear all man
her of offense themselves, but who will
fight at the drop of hat if their dog is
insulted. We recognize the value of a
dog as guard and a faithful companion
on the farm or in isolated places. And
yet we have no hesitation in saying
that dogs are positive nuisance in a
city. and source of constant danger.
If people living in the city will insist
upon keeping dogs, let them keep them
at home.
This is really more serious matter
than most persons are disposed to view
it. Infested as our streets are with dogs
of every imaginable breed, what assur-
auce have we against hydrophobia
epidemic? There is every opportunity
for it, as was abundantly illustrated by
the lower Third street episode yesterday
afternoon.

MORE ROASTS.

There has been very little impartial

The legislature voted the reporters

A PREDICAMENT.

1t is the distribution of patronage
that makes life in the White house

vessels for pleasure and recuperation

illustrative one. The eX-COufederate

has almost constantly since found little
personal reason to allege that Repub-
licans are ungrateful. He has always
wanted good Offices. AS it was not
deemed best to send him abroad or into
the cabinet, the register OF the treasury
was found to fit him with satisfaction.

move one of the most gallant Union

federate leader. There are, probably,
people so unfeeling as not to feel

such trying situations as this.

the men that the Western roads have

During the last week several

For several days an advertisement has
been printed asking non-union en-
gineerS to call at an Office on Dearborn

engineers, who are still members of the
brotherhood, responded to this ad YER
tisement for the purpose of ascertain
ing its import. Their statement is that
they were examined as to their ability,
and their names and their addresses
taken. and were told they would be
sent for. They were not informed on
what road they were likely to be
needed. An engineer when questioned
as to his opinion of the matter, said:
1T is plain as day. Some Droad

ing to find out how many nom
union engineers there are out of work.
Why they should want to find out you
can guess as we'll as anybody. My
opinion is that the railroad companies
anticipate strike and are getting ready
for it." In an interview last night,
leading railroad official said that cut
in wages is almost inevitable on all the

ENDORSING THE STRIKE.
The Eight-Hour Meeting Deals
Largely With the Street Car
Strike

The Eight-Hour Meeting Deals
Largely With the Street Car
Strike.
There was a goodly delegation of the
striking street railway employees at the
eight-hOur league meeting at Labor
temple last evening, and the meeting
partook largely of the nature of a rati-
fication meeting to indorse the action of
the men in ''going out" Hall No. l,
on the third floor, was filled to over
flowing, and the crowd filled the corridor
and the ante room. j. NJ. Mcdonald
presided, and several prominent K. of
l.. men were present. George Ledger
wood, of the typographical union, was
the first speaker. He warned the lndi-
yIdual strikers against making any
statements to the newspapers. and rec
commended the appointment of press
committee, whose duty it should
be to furnish all information
to reporters, and all the other
members of the union were
advised to refer any inquirers to that
committee. This suggestion seemed to
meet with favor, as did also his recon-
mendation that any official commune
cations made should be sent to all the
should become prejudieed against the
movement.
John Wall, former member of the
general assembly executive board, said
that while he regretted exceedingly the
necessity for strike, he thought the
men were justified in their action, and
had the sympathy of the public at large.
Eva Mcdonald spoke briefly to the
strikers. telling them that it was no
harder to beg and starve for themselves
than for corporations and capitalists.
Rev. l., e. Powers brought forward
some new and striking arguments in
favor of the eight-hour day, in fin
iShed address on the history of labor, in
which he showed conclusively that the
moral, mental and physical condition of
the laboring classes had always been
the best in those countries and those
times where and when the hours
of labor had been the shortest. He
introduced statistics and statements
from unqueStionable authorities to
prove his points, and closed by saying
that he considered the eight-hour sys-
TEN favorable to the advancement and
progress of the entire nation.
Messrs. Allison and Swift favored the
assembly with vocal solos, and Rev. J.
Nj. Henderson, of st. Paul, spoke in favor
of the eight-hour movement, and Incl
dentally mentioned the wrongs of the
street car men.
Altogether the meeting was of as
much interest to the strikers as the
league men, and its principal,immediate
effect will be to show the strikers that
they have the support and sympathy of

PROHIBITION STATISTICS.

Services are generally held at the
churches on Fast day in New England.
AT one of the Episcopal churches in
Massachusetts, ON the recent occasion,
the pastor delivered an address on the
prevalent question of the time there,
constitutional prohibition, and incident
ally read letters from the bishops of
that denomination in Maine, Rhode
Island, Kansas and Iowa, narrating the
operation of the measure in their sew
eral states. Bishop Nicely, Of Maine,
asserted that prohibition had not been
of the least value in checking the sale
of liquor in his state. CLARK, the
Rhode Island bishop, reported that the
prohibition law had been disastrous to
temperance in that state. Iowa was
very fully reported on by Bishop
PERRY. His statements were all I'M
favorable to the law, and contradicted
many of the statements of the governor
and champions of prohibition that have
been so generally circulated. Among
its effects was to check immigration. He
declared that the increase of bank de-
pOsits is alone noticeable in those parts
of the state where the prohibitory law
is dead letter, and that in the towns
there has been an increase in the sale
of liquor. Bishop VAIL. of Kansas, was
the only one of the number who spoke
favorablY of the operation of the law.
He thought it was very complete act
in its provisions, and as well enforced
as any law against intemperance could
well be. These cases do not remove the
impression that even the most careful
and honest observers will disagree as to
what they see when looking in a COM
mon direction from common observa-
tories.

Special to the Globe
BUTTE, Mont. April 11.-This after
noon Chief Engineer Kendrick, accom-
panied by Engineers McHendry and
Haven, met by appointment a commit
tee of the Butte board of trade. consist
ing of VIC. Goodalle, l.. r. Maillet and
Henry Williams. The meeting was
held in Engineer n. c. Rays office, who
had made survey for the board of
trade of the PipestOne pass, the con-
templated cutoff from Gallatin City to
Butte, and which will straighten the
Northern Pacific railroad through Mon
tana. Engineer Kendrick informed
the committee that he. found that
the reports of the board of
trade had also given Mr. Rays report.
All the surveys did not differ materially
from the results obtained by his own,
but on comparison he found another
route with still more favorable grades.
This route was over the Homestake
pass, and as chief engineer of the
Northern Pacific he had adopted that as
the route to be built upon, and last
evening ordered the rails from the East.
He then went on to state the findings of
HlS CHSlilCS III ItSdIu W UU6
Homestake. The pass was eighty
feet lower at the summit
than the Pipestone pass, and the
route over it to Butte six miles shorter
than the route by way of the Pipestone
pass. The distance by way of Home
stake from Gallatin to Butte was sixty
nine miles, and by Pipestone seventy
five miles. The distance from Three
Forks to Garrison, by way of the Pipe
stone, was 127 miles. By the way of the
main line of the Northern Pacific it was
124 miles, while by way of Home
stake it was III miles shorter than
the main line of the Northern
Pacific road. AS to the expense, he fig
ured that the building of the line to
Butte by way of the selected route,
would cost S142, 900 less than by way of
the Pipestone. Mr.. Kendrick left this
afternoon for New ork, where he goes
TO lay his report before the board of di-
rectors. Before leaving, he said that
cars by the new route would be running
into Butte by Nov. 90 next.

YOUNG HARRISON ARRESTED.
Crosby Will Have Personal
AnOIOGY or Blood.

NEW YORK, April 1l.-RuSSell Harrf-
son was arrested this afternoon in the
Office of ,Judge,(n the Potter building,
on the charge of having published in
his paper, the Montana Live Stock
Jour nal, an article taken from Buffalo
paper, charging eX-Gov. John Schuyler
Crosby of Montana, with having stolen
jewels from a Washington lady. Mr..
Harrison came on from Washington last
night for the purpose of having the
papers in the suit served on him.
The warrant was issued by Judge
Beach, of the supreme court,
who fixed bail at $1,000. Stephen B.
Eiklns, Vice President Rice, of the
Park bank, and W. j. Arkell, of Judge,
became MI. Harrison's bondsmen. Judge
L'AmoreauX, of BallstOn Spa, is Mr..
HarrIson's counsel. and W. A. Sweetzer
his attorney. Mr.. Harrison was not in
charge of his paper at the time the
article was published, and knew moth
ing about it. When his attention was
drawn to the fact that the Buffalo paper
had not told the truth, Mr.. Harrison
offered to publish a suitable retraction.
This. however, Mr.. Crosby would not
accept. He demanded that Mr.. Har-
rison should write him personal letter
Mr.. Harrison declined to do this, and
Mr.. Crosby hopes by having him ar
rested to force him to do so.
William A. SweetZer, Mr.. HarrisOn's
attorney, says: THE duffy of Mr. Har-
rson is manifest. and he is not the per-
son to shrink from its perform.
ance. Mr.. Harrison, as the presi-
dent of the company owning and pub.
fishing the paper, has been selected as
the person against whom to institute
these proceedings and recover damages.
The considerable delay in bringing the
action, and then the inStituting of the
suit i'll locality where the defamatOry
matter would never have been known
had it not been brought to public notice
by Mr.. Crosby himself, are matters
which will doubtless be fully explained
in the trial, Mr.. Harrison disclaims all
liability OF responsibility in this matter,
his only connection with it being
that of president of the company own
ing the paper that made the publica-
ton. He leaves for Washington, on his
way to Montana, tonight. Mr.. Har-
rison personally is not concerned as to
the result of this action. The journal
in which was published the alleged de-
famatOry article is quite able and will
defend this action. 1t has been charged
by Mr.. Crosby that Mr.. Harrison caused
this libel i'll question to be published
out OF personal hatred or vindictiveneSS
toward him. In point of fact Mr..
Crosby has not been unfavorably men
toned, only with this exception, in the
Montana Live Stock journal, since the
first day of its publications.
