CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Inhuman Practices That Have Prevailed
Here of Late.

The gross and inhuman practice OF
beating dumb animals indiScriminatelv,
and with no little severity, has prevail
ed in this city Of late to an alarming ex-
tent, and immediate measures should be
taken to bring the offenders to justice.
In most cases the cruelty seems to be
inflicted without any provocation what
ever, as though the perpetrators were
indulging in sort of fiendish delight
Yesterday large steer was being
driven mercilessly down Market
street when some one began to
throw things at the animal.
This made the steer somewhat
fractions, and it was with some difficult
ty that the driver, who had rope at
tached to ring in the animals nose,
could hold him. Finally some one
hurled brick at the animal, striking it
between the eyes, and with such force
as to almost make the animal stagger
it's tongue hung out, and the animal
bearing every evidence of pain and dis
comfort.
Some party who was goading on a
drove of hogs near Eoff street was lash
ing them so relentleSSly at times tnat
the swine were nearly exhausted. One
OF them was so far gone that it dropped
by the roadside near the Cathedral, and
soon after died.
About the middle of the afternoon a
boy by the name of Miller was seen
cruelty urging flock of sheep, the
animals fairly quivering under the lash.
A lady who saw the occurrence, and
was so moved at heart over the treat
ment of the dumb animals, that she i'm
mediately proceeded to police headquar-
tiers and entered complaint against the
boy who will probably be arrested to-
day. These instances OF cruelties
should be more carefully looked after,
and the offenders made to feel the pen
atty Of the law.

When the papers were full Of
doings OF Speaker Reed, at the
last session OF Congress, the Demo-
Gratis kicked like mule becau o
he was doing too much; now that
the House is quiet and the Speak
or does not find it necessary to
squelch two or three obstreporou5
Democrats every day the same
people are kicking and sneering
because Mr.. Reed is doing moth
ing to keep himself before the
public. Don't worry, gentlemen.
Speaker Reed is all right. and
just as fully prepared to knock
out any ADMINISTERING Democrats
as he ever was, but the members
Of that party have learned some
thing by their past experience and
are no ways anxious to tack 9
the big man from Maine. We
predict that Mr.. Reed will make a
greater reputation as q leader OF
the Republican minority in the
House Of the Fifty second Cen
gress than he has gained as Speak
or Of the present House. He is
great as presiding officer, but
greater, in our opinion, as fight
ing leader on the floor OF the
House.
The Democratic editors should
hold caucus for the purpose OF
getting together In their ideas,
particularly as regards the tariff.
One Of them says in his paper:
"We tax a great deal about
protection nowadays, but il is
most bluff and buncombs. The
genuine article is not known co
thisgenerati n OF Americans" while
another says: "The Mckinley bill
carries protection to an extreme
never before dreamed OF by it's
INST radical advocate Both of
these editors cannot be right, in
fact neither Of them ara, but the
quoted language serves for speci
mems ofthe ignorance displayed
in writing upon this very import
ant subject.
The first step towards putting
our coast and harbors in conf
ton to resist foreign attack were,
like everything else OF value in q
legislative way, for the last thirty
years, taken by Republicans, and
now that the good work has
fairly begun there should be no
cessation until completed.
The idea of Canada buying Alas
ka from the United States is
absurd in view Of the fact that it
in only question Of time when
Canada itself will become, will
ingly or unwillingly, part OF the
United States.
Republicans are not worrying
alb out Behring's Sea matters; they
know that American inters sts
are in able hands and that they
will be well taken care Of.
The Farmers Alliance people

scalp-dance over a murdered Chippe-

vengeance on the great Day of &C

The old chief smiled, drew his pipe
from his mouth, blew cloud of smoke
upward, and said "White man 60 to
war with his own brother in the same
country; kill more men than Waba-
sha can count in all his life. Great
Spirit smiles ; says, Good white man

WASHINGTON. March 25.-The fol-
lowing letter addressed to the Presi'
dent, by William Hosea Ballou, the
novelist, who has been residing in
New Orleans for several months, was
received at the Executive Mansion
this morning.:
"Your attention is directed to the
menace to this country of large ele'
ment of foreign-born people appealing
to foreign sovereign for revenge, by
arms or diplomacy, on account of ar
act of the community of New Orleans
II submit that the presence of an
immense body of foreigners within
the United States, not in sympathy
with US, our customs and laws, who
whatever the provocation, call upon 6
foreign country for aid, cannot be de-
pended upon in times Of national dan
ger and war, and are q constant men
ace to our peace and safely. Wash
ing is the place, and you are the repre-.
sentative of the sovereign people, te
whom appeal should be made by al
claiming allegiance to this country.
I'm view of these facts, / suggest
he need of stringent immigration in
pection and restriction, or otherwise
foreign countries hostile to our pros
perity will plant large numbers o
men and women on this soil who viii
breed others of their kind, and who
will rise against us whenever callec
upon by the government from which
they came, while protesting quasi allie
glance to the United States.
"While we may regard with pride
all foreign American patriots, the time
has come to distrust all who look to
foreign country for protection while
claiming loyalty to this country. BY

It is sad fact that many preachers
are great failures. 1t will do any
preacher good to read some of the
causes of the failures, which we clip
from the Florida advocate: lone
preacher fails because he is stingy an.
other, because he is lazy; a third. be-
cause he gives away to his temper; .
fourth, because he Is too sour, and
shows very little tendetn ness of spirit
a fifth, because of his levity in compa-
ny; sixth, because his conversation
is not chaste; seventh. because bis
heart seems to be on money; an
eighth, because he talks too disparag'
ingly and consciously about other
preachers; a ninth, because he is too
sensitive about what people think OF
his sermons and himself; and tenth,
because he fails to produce any deep
feeling in his hearers"
