me il fault, but the poor beast that |
carries to these delicious entertain
ments is little thought of in this
community am sorry to say
much less thought of than he is in
other civilized communities.
| am friend to dumb beasts who
cannot say one word for them
selves, and think some one should
start society here such as Henry
Burgh started in New York City
and other places; have the fashion
able young ladies become members
as they do in New York, pay
small sum for membership (entltl-
ing them to badgel, which in case
of tentabilty they can show and
have the offending parties arrested,
(and they do not have to appear IN
Court as the injured animal is his
own witness) and the owners or
drivers punished accordingly.
am tempted to write this arti-
Gle because i have witnessed cases
of fiendish brutality in this city.
One day saw a man drive over an
old dog, too old to move, so he ran
over HIM. In New York l could
have stopped him, had him arrested
and fined. He would have turned
bit before running over the next
old dog-nothing like diving into a
mans pocket to make him kind and
thoughtful. A few weeks ago l
was on the street and saw young
colt with a terrible sore on his
back. 1 inquired of the kind
hearted dressmaker living next
door, and it seems after beating his
son (the Portuguese owning the
stable next door,, took his spite
out on the mare and colt, and TAX
ing picket of the fence ran it in
the colts back! The other morning
while waiting for car l noticed q
crowd of men around a watering
cart and one horse; they were
taking turns beating the horse with
the whip and the ends of ropes.
One wheel was in rut, and the
horse was over ladened, the street
not being in No. l condition.
Whipping and kicking the horse
in the stomach did not suffice, so a
noble youth lighted the ends OF
the ropes to burn the horses fet-
locks. He was stopped in his bru-
tally by gentleman using strong
and effective language. The brutes
passed On when they found the
horse had friend, and the horse
when the load was lightened did
his duty. Now, how can such an
outrage be allowed in Honolulu
Paradise of the Pacific? Why
was that man not compelled by the
law to put two suitable horses to
the cart? And it is not the first
time / have seen that horse NAL.
treated.
Not long ago saw the driver of
No. Is car laying the lash on pain
of fine mules. l watched him lash
ing them to the terminus, change
them to the front of the car, tie

mence to lash them again. | saw
the poor quivering beasts, and rode
up to him and said l would have
him arrested If he did not immedi.
ately stop. Now. Mr.. Editor, how
can [ have the driver arrested? !
have inquired and hear you must
inform the policeman on the beat
A policeman on his beat! Did
you yet meet one? have
travelled all over the world. / have
never met policeman on his beat
Perhaps Barnum's Circus has one.
New York ladies instead Of taking
flowers to sick people (who would
much prefer broiIed chicken and
steak Jas 1 speak from experience
1 know what hospital fare is, and
flowers do not fill the stomach
take few hours each week and
start society of prevention to
cruelty to animals.
