THE HUMANE SOCIETY.

In the prevention of the barbarous fight
which had been arranged to be fought be-
tween bear and dog, the Humane So-
ciety, which was organized few weeks
ago, has made a good beginning, and has
demonstrated its right TO a place in the
esteem of the citizens of Seattle. The
savagery of the details of the proposed
fight, which had been fully arranged were
almost incredible, and had such things not
occurred in the bear-baiting of former
times il would have been hard to account
for the occurrence of this excess of cruelty
save on the theory of insanity, or some
thing akin, on the part of those connected
with the case.
The formation OF = society for the pre-
vention and punishment OF such occur
rences and cases of minor cruelty TO the
dumb animals may seem unnecessary; but
the trouble. worry and expense incident TO
prosecuting an offender single-handed is
such that few care to undertake it. With
society whose officers are familiar with
the laws on the subject, the methods of
procedure, and with funds devoted TO the
purpose, the punishment of an offender
becomes On easy matter; and those who
are prone to offend take warning and gov
crn themselves accordingly.
The laws of both state and city are at
presen, lacking in the defniteness which
enables an organization of this Kind to
work 10 the best advantage: but the mat

From q Government Bulletin
Mr.. G.. c. Davis, who has been acting as spe.

All of these substances except the first two

The inwardness of the creation of the
first Canadian peer out of Sir George
Stephen, ex-president of the Bank of Mon
treal, and president of the Canadian Pa
cific, has transpired. Though by no
means so influential in the completion of
the transcontinental line, in which the
English take such pride and satisfaction,
as some of the other members of the COM
pany-Sir Donald Smith, for instance-he
had an adopted daughter who was mar
ried to son of the late Lord Iddesleigh,
who has been the private secretary to
Lord Salisbury. In this way Sir George
Stephen has been kept prominently be-
fore the Conservative leaders; and the re-
suit is that he now becomes the cynosure
among the exotics, the growth of which
the British crown is trying to force in the
uncongenlal climate of Canada.

DIR. BROOKS. DErHAcroRs.


The unpleasant controversy over the
confirmation of Bishop-elect Brooks as
bishop of the diocese of Massachusetts,,
continues with vigor that speaks i'll for
the spirit of his detractors. If there be
any truth in the saying that the blood of
the martyrs is the seed of the church, this
agitation will do more to strengthen the
partisans of DIR. Brooks and their doctrines
both in the church and with the people at
large than anything else could. DR..
Brooks has borne himself with excellent
discretion throughout, replying nothing
to those who have imposed upon them
selves the task of defeating his election.
He has been piled with questions and
pitilessly attacked by anonymous cor
respondents. AS preacher DIR. Brooks
has no living superior, his life has been
stainless, he is the most distinguished
bishop-elect his church has ever had, he is
among the foremost of living philanthro-
pists and church workers; besides these
considerations his church is comprehen-
sive one, his diocese has declared for him
practically unanimously, his church has
three great divisions and his diocese has
declared that it wants bishop of one of
them, and yet there are found few of the
more opinionated in the others who are
doing their utmost to block his way. His
parish, his diocese, his church, the great
body of Christian workers and the people
at large wherever his influence has ex-
tended, favor his confirmation. What
compensatory good can his opponents look
to while thus blocking the way2

pIsCOURTEsY TO AMERICAN Ma
TIONALITY,

The Italians of Brooklyn wish to have
the Italian colors flown from the City Hall
on the I'D instant, the anniversary of the
birth of Mazzini; and the strange feature
about the case is that the preposterous re-
quest is in fair way of being granted,
for the reason that the precedent has been
set by flying the green flag of Ireland on
st. Patrick's day. There are some things
in regard 10 which this country can afford
to be magnanimous, and some about
which it can noe and this foreign dag iv-
ing business comes distinctly under the
latter category. A country so large as the
American Union and with interests so
diverse can afford 10 allow the springing
up of no practices which endanger or do
diseourtesy to the feeling of American
nationality. The population of the
country has been made up by
contributions from many nationalities.
The self-supporting immigrant is always
welcome; but there is enc thing that
should be required of him, and that is that

Remembering the treatment accorded to
Sir Charles Dixie by the insulted public
opinion of England, and the unanimitv
with which, for like reason, Parneu was
adjudged odious and infamous, it will be
interesting to note the trend of English
virtuous sentiment anent the disclosures
affecting the Prince of Wales in the bac-
carat scandal. Do the English people con-
slider Dixie and Parnell under stronger OBJ
legations than the heir apparent to set
good example and to behave decently?

Another California Murder.

SANTA CRUZ, Cal, June 9.-Yesterday in East
Santa Cruz Jesus Gonzales was shot through the
heart by Gusman Ilarios, death being instanta-
neous. A week ago a woman who had lived with
Gonzales for several years left him and went to
the house OF Bonito Amaya In Santa Cruz The
troubles of the pair had been apparently settled,
and yesterday they expected to go to San Jose
and be married. Gonzales met narios on the
street and accused him of stealing'the woman
with whom he had been living. He then drew
his pistol. uarios threw up his left arm TO
catch the hand holding the pistol, and then
drew his own pistol, firing with fatal effect
