The Society for the Prevention Of Cru
city TO Animals has \ fair ficld for the
exercise of It's benevolence In the sup
pression Of the fashion that has been re.
vived in New York, Of docking horses'
tails. It has long been q practice
there to cut the tail Off square ut
the end Of the caudal extension
Of the backbone In which operation
there was no cruelty as nothing was cut
but the hair. Now, however, the tail 10
severed close up to the body aud often
times 10 little Of tail II left that rab-
bit would not own 1t. 1t II the same
fashion that prevailed years ago and that
died out over quarter Of q century
since. There Ii nothing to recommend
itsave the avoidance Of getting the lines
under horses tall In single driving, but
this can be otherwise avoided. 1t II q
mere excuse for the practice a. is evident
from the fact that the docked horses are
not usually driven slngly In New York.
We have not noticed the revival Of the
fashion elsewhere, and we do not sup
pose that It will spread very far, not.
withstanding Its prevalence In New
York. There Is nothing TO commend
the practice In It's beauty certainly.
The little punches Of hair that are
shaken At the end Of the backbone give
very ludicrous air to the rear end OF
the horses economy, especially when the
animal II big, a. 90 many of the New
York beasts are. The toute ensemble Ia
not % absurd when the creature IL light
and airy In its action, ~ when little tuft
OF hair is seen wagging In the midst Of a
great expanss of buttock.
The society for the protection of ami
mails has our good wishes In Its raid upon
this folly. No ono should drive bob-tail
horse In this generation, unless he can
give good reason for It. 1t may be a
proper practice with horse who objects
when the reins pass under his tail, but
the wcll-behaved horses should not be
docked.

Church Bosses.


The church bosses in our town do not
all seem to be model bosses ; and the fact
Is one to which we call attention with
out much trembling, notwithstanding
the church boss idea that seems to per-
wade the church boss head-which IL
often empty enough to give room to
any idea--that the newspaper ought not
to say anything about him. We do not
look upon the subject with the church
boss eyes they are functionaries whose
conduct IL very clearly open to public
criticism.
The bosses of st. James Episcopal
church, called vestrymen, and five in
number, are under the harrow of severe
criticism from their congregation for
oppressive and unwise use of their
power. The bosses of the Duke street
Methodist Episcopal church, called
trustees, are denounced in circular
I. letter signed by several members of the
congregation as abusers of their trust.
We do not know how much substance
there IL to the alleg. ton that the trustees
have acted iawlessiy and unwisely IN
the matter Of the erection of the
new church; though we do not fail
70 n0to that they have somewhat diff
cult Job In hand in the erection Of an
o0,o00 church, without any money to
DO It with. II this be the real situation
great de al may be pardoned to these
bosses and they deserve to be saved
from censure until the outcome Of their
venture is reached. If they pull through
and get the church built, they will de-
serve statues; and trifie of lawlessness
may he pardoned to their profound
nth.

The sta rving Indians Of Dakota was the
first cry, now it is the starving whites. VT
Is sad that the first months of the histoky
Of the new states should show them unabNe
to sustain their scanty population, but thu
five thousand pioneers for whom Miss|
Barton asks assistance have not had time
to lay by for rainy day, or rather for
frosty weather. The killing of a crop by
frost leaves them without the necessares
Of life, because they have spent their
surplus in founding homesteads. 1t is the
history Of all new states, although many Of
them pass through 1t In their territorial
days.

The Bellsfonts Republican calls upon
the party to halt the postmaster general
Ia hls attempt to commit II. to policy at
variance with its principles and aims,
and laments that custom Of professional
lobbyists which leads them to seize upon
anyone fresh from finance, law or haber-
dashery and thoroughly initiate him
with assurances Of statesmanship. The
Republican says that Mr.. Wanamaker
!" has lost his head and painfully mani
TESTS that he IL most ignorant Of what he
b most assured,n and It's "prids and
faith Of party are greatly wounded
with the exhibition he makes while
prompted by designing scamps TO
schemes that have neither the de-
mand Of the people, the sanction Of the
party nor tho commentator Of the
president for their justification" This
10 rather rough on John and little be-
wildering.
The party that has accepted, as one Of
IT. leaders, this inflated statesman fresh
.ffoln haberdashery can not fairly COM
plain n he falls to recognize that II has
any principles aud aims except those
represented by profit and loss. John
WanAnaker II postmaster general for
value received In funds raised for the
election Of our president, and this hui
initiating fact quite overshadows the
schemes Of" designing scamps referred
to. A small cheap policy must
be expected from men who buy
the rank Of statesmen without the train
Ing or ability necessary for the work.
A cabinet officer 10 all the better for
being good business man, but he must
nrst Of all be thoughtful, able and
broad-nlinded student Of government,
and prepared to consider not only the
Immediate profit Of any scheme or
policy, but also its effect upon the no
tional development and our whole poll
tical economy. The president aud party
deliberately accepted Mr.. Wanamaker
- : leader, knowing that he had given
no evidence Of such training or ability,
and they have themselves to blame II
he measures everything with yard
stick.

In Dah0ney.

The " dark continent u furnishes the
most lurid news nowadays. The French
ere having lively times with the King Of
Dahomey, the English in the Transvaal
are quarreling with the Beers and q
Zanzibar dispatch says the Germans
under Wissmnnn have started to attack
ReuAni Hsri. Americans may not have
the pleasure or misery Of an acquaint.
amos with Beuani, but on general prin-
cipals they will wish tho Germans sue
ooss and hope for disaster to the slave
traders. The King OF Uganda has taken
3 notion to turn Christian, but has not
madSup bis mind a. to the brand he
likes best, and 20 missionaries Of various
denominations are quarreling for supre-
macy over his soul and dominions. He
b tho Ian who celebrated his ascent to
NJ throne by wholesale murder of mis-
of0paries.
The proceedings of the French in
Dohomey are given interest by. the
news that in recent battle they slew
several of the kings Amazon body
guard. The king has standing army
Of troops enrolled for life, but 1t is ma
tional custom for any husband who
wishes to get rid Of bad tempered or
uncongenial wife to present her to the
king NJ soldier Of his famous ANA
xonian body guard. The garrison Of the
capitol Is composed almost exclusively
Of these female warriors, Of whom there
are said to be about SIX thousand. They
ore by no means an attractive lot, but one
Of the spectacles Of the country is the
war dance Of those women armed with
big spears and other discouraging Afri-
can weapons. The other spectacles Of
Dahomey seem to consist chiefly Of the
frequent killing Of slaves to add dignity
and interest to state occasions F; and alto
gether 1t appears that conquest of the
land by the French Is a thing to be
eagerly desired In the interest Of human
ity and civilization. At Paris all par
ties favor vigorous measures In Da-
honey, but remembering the troubles Of
the Amin campaign many are opposed
to carrying the war into the interior.
Dahomey Is very pleasant land, and 1t
seems strange that 1t has not been cor.
quered long ago by some enterMising
.gresA nrxaE- Ehsc ciffndts is not deadly
Al iarss, like that of many parts of the
AffQ8n coast, the land Is very fertile
and( the people intelligent although un-
Comfortably bloodthilsty. No half way
measufSs will bring the Dahomeans to
submission, and If France wants the
prize she NWust expect to pay for 1t
heavily.

THE natives OF Hayti, according to DR..
r. p. Crsndsll In the Medical Record, be-
lisve consumption to be both contagious
and infectious, and dread II much more
than smallpox or yellow fever A native
who IL believed 10 have consumption is
avoided by his friends and prayed for by
the priests, and when he dies "the entire
contents of the room in which he died are
either destroyed or thrown into some place
set aside by the government for that pur-
pose. This sacrifice Of property not only
includes the furniture ofa room, but also
articles Of value, such as jewelry, gold and
precious stones This idea OF destruction
Ia carried TO such an extent by some that
the paper 10 sometimes removed from the
walls, and the floors torn up, and II the
house Is small 1t IL sometimes burned
down." Near Cape Haytien there is a
marsh known as the " cemetery of horses"
which the doctor thus describes: "Scat.
tered over its muddy depths, were innum-
cradle household articles, furniture of all
kinds, sewing machines, pianos, book
cases, books, etc. Here and there also ap-
peared the whitened skeletons Of animals
l ask cd of native standing near the
reason for this apparent waste of property
He informed me that the Cimetiere des
Chevaux was repository for the dead
bodies Of animals, and for every thing that
was found In the room of one who had
died from consumption. He said that
nothing would induce Haytien to evon
touch any thing that had been placed there.
I found this to be strictly true, rs on sew
eral occasions offered natives sums of
money to bTnp ma articl6S, fcs IN the ceme-
terry, and was always refused with looks OF
-3orror and repugnance.
The doctor does not explain why somo
snterprlsing foreigner does not tako ad-
vantage of this native dread and go into the
business of exporting consumptive effects.
Even II the Haytien variety OF the disease
has dangerous peculiarities, point not ad-
mitted, the sewing machines, pianos and
jew elry might at least be disinfected and
sold in moro Intelligent communities.

By q law of the State, passed March 81
1890. free scholarship at the State Col
lege, (Rutgers Scientific School, New

in each Assembly district in our State.
Any young man who y now, or in Septem-

the examination. -Four full courses OF
liberal and scientific study are open at
this Institution. l. a course in civil en-
cheering and mechanics; 2, q course
in chemistry and agriculture; g. a course
in electricity; 4, a special course in
agriculture. Students who apply
are examined in, /, arithmetic; 2,
higher algebra through quadratic equa-

tory OF the United States, and Z, the ele-
mentary principles of physics (''natural

provides thatwher more than one pro-
perly qualified candidate for appoint

shall pass the examination, all who pass
shall receive appointment In the order of
the excellence of their examination, until
the entire number(60) have been appointed

will be written and will be uniform
throughout the State, held at the County

the brightest scholars of our schools will
avail themselves of the opportunity thus
afforded them by the State.
