Fox Hunting.

Some members Of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have
recently excited fierce discussion Of the
ethics of fox hunting by trying without
success to secure the punishment of two
employees of the Radnor Hunt who had
killed a fox. The killing of foxes has
always been regarded as meritorious act
because necessary for the protec-
tion of hen roosts, and the $. Z.
G. A. people only made themselves
ridiculous by interfering with the hunt
Undoubtedly there Is an element of
cruelty in the hunting of foxes, but so
there is in all kinds of hunting, and the
pleasure of the hunters Is not because of
but in spite of this cruelty. The exhlera-
tion and excitement of the chase and the
violent open air exercise are often worth
more 10 the health of the hunters
than many q roast beef or chicken
dinner, and so it may be argued
that the cruelty To the fox for the
sake of health is quite as justifiable
as the killing of chickens and cattle for
food. High authorities contend that
animals feel very little pain when made
the prey of each other and n fox may
expire with as little pain after long
chase rs he would suffer if shot Girard,
the lion hunter, was knocked helpless
by lion, which began to make q meal
of his arm, and he always said that he
felt no pain. The shock seemed to
deaden feeling. However this may
be, there is little use protesting against
the cruelty of fox hunting and there
are many other fields far more
worthy philanthropic attention. Ian
caster county is particularly well suited
to the sport, and as it Is famous for its
large numbers of good horses, and its
hills Of the northern and lower ends are
fine homes for foxes, the taste for fox
hunting is sure to grow. Our hunters
may not wear " the red, )" or ride in the
most approved English style like the
hunt clubs of the great city suburbs, but
they can show dogs, horses, and foxes
OF the very first quality and they know
how to hunt.

LANCASTER. PA, January 8, 1890.
Elevate Its Quality.


We sincerely hope that the Demo-
cratic Legislature of Ohio will be better
inspired than to choose Mr.. Brice to he
senator. Doubtless he would make a
better senator than many of the men
who are already ensconced in the body,
as little TO its honor rs TO their own. 1t
is saying very little for the candidacy of
an aspirant to the Senate that he Is as
fit for the place as the average OF those
who fill 1t. That average is wretchedly
low. 1t is only high in the cash valua-
tions Of the senator. The Senate has
become the millionaire's mecca. When
his money commands the way he gets
there and, If the practice continues, IL
may be necessary some day to require u
vow of poverty as condition OF admis-
sion TO the Senate; just as a vow of chas-
tity is demanded at the nunnery. Inn
mense wealth is not wholesome quail
fication of the senator; and it should
not be permitted to aid an ambition to
reach the nations highest council cham
Der.
Mr.. Brice's friends print certificate
from Judge Thurman testifying to his
competency for the place; and we do not
at oil doubt that hc is competent accord
ing To the existing standard of compe-
teiicy. But we need another and higher
one. We want to go back 10 the time
when there were no millionaircs in the
Senate but instead giants in intellect
and athletes in debate. A monstrous
pail overhangs the Senate ofto-day. No
lustre appears anywhere about it save
the lustre of millions. The senators from
Pennsylvania, who never say word,
have abundant company in their silence,
which is hardly more distressing, how
ever, than the loquacity of others who
speak and say nothing. The men in the
Senate who are worthy of the station
they fill can be counted easily on the
fingers of the hands.
We would like to see the Democratic
party setting its face to the election OF
senators Of first-rate quality; and there.
fore we hope that the combination OF
Mr.. Brice's millions and second-rate
quality will not be strong enough to
send him to the Senate from Ohio.
There are able men in that state surely,
fit in every way TO adorn the senatorial
place and elevate the senatorial quality
We trust that one such will he chosen.

The Plan of the Sneaker.

The House of Representatives is run
ming along without special rules and il
is said TO be the purpose of the speaker
TO let it run thus thinking that as the
power of interpreting parliamentary
law lies in his hands, his party will fare
well enough. If the Republican majority
in the House was such us To enable il 10
formulate such rules as 1t wants. the
situation would be different. No code
OF rules can be adopted that is not salts
factory TO the strong Democratic minor
ity and no such code, in the speakers
opinion, Will be any better for the Re-
publican majority than the general par
liamentary law as construed and admin
istered by himself.
The speaker of the House Is remark
able for the boldnes5, unscrupulousness
and intensity with which he deyotes
himself TO bis party, upon which stands
his prospect of political fortune.
1t Will be notable battle that will no
waged between him and the Democratic
leaders on the floor and he will he a
great gladiator if he comes safely through
with his programme. What talent
there may he to meet him will have
abundant opportunity for exhibition.
IL Is situation in which the peculiar
ability OF Mr. Randall would particu-
iariy shine, and his illness is a great
misfortune. But there is plenty of good
material to take his place and to pro-
ouce the new man for the hour.

given while duly protecting the inter-
ests of the city. AS we have said here
tofore, we believe that the trial Of this
electric power should be made. If Il is
successful IL will bc of much benefit to
the city, rs it will bring into closer
communication the population not only
of the town but OF the surrounding popu-
lous country, into many parts of which
IL will pay these electric railways TO
penetrate. How far they can take the
place Of steam railroads is question to
be determined in practice and we think
that those who propose to try the expert
mcnt should have the aid of the city
which expects benefit from IL.
But we are nevertheless strongly of
the opinion that the prospective advan-
tage of this system will not warrant the
city in legislating farther into the fu-
ture than 1t Is necessary for IL TO do /;
and that while 1t may properly free
the enterprise from taxation for brief
time, il should not fix IA tax upon ii now
that the grantees may claim in the fu-
turc cannot be exceeded, no matter how
inadequate it may then be. And the
