An issue has been raised over the origin Of
the Great American Hog. Two or three cor
respondents dispute the opinion expressed In
| these columns Il few days ago, that the hog, as
he Is seen in the streets and cars Of New York
is q product OF American institutions. Thoy
are very sure on the contrary, that he is an
imported evil. One expert on the subject who
signs himself :" A Dutchman." writes:
| Having been passenger OH the Third avenue elo
waited since it, construction and always during
| what were called commission hours, l can say that
there never has been any train one dozen Amer
leans indigenous to the soil strictly speHkng during
! tho whole ten years Any Unparalleled and careful
observer win find ut least at tho hours have indicated
| the passengers with few exceptions are OF imported
| stock.

cans are not known sleepy people. There are
hogs and lots Of them in tho Third avenue cars but

Should Mr. Horace e. nuvast desire TO use his i'm.
ported blackthorn Americans of the hog variety or
any other kind OF American let him seekhis victims IN
some other locality than the Third aycune elevated
cars
There have boon other letters Of tho same
tenor naming other parent stock OF the beast
as we have TO deal with him. While the
writer's arc right in saying that tho hog is
often OF foreign antecedents, 1t must still be
affirmed that tho full development aud In
diligence Of his nature have been restrained
until brought ont by what he considers the
privileges of Americas free institutions. He
celebrates his freedom by abusing il. Infringe
ments o! others rights which he knows would
not BIO ncrmitted in his native country. he in
dulEes III with impunity. But It l. question
OF lnEratned nature after all and there IS little
difference between hog OF American birth
aud ono Of foreign antccedents. He must be
dealt with In the Same relentless and summary
fashion or he anu his tribe will never be sup
! pressed.
