THE DoG POUND.

One of the crowning disgraces of our mu-
nfcipal regime-Jake Lindo'S dog pound, has
at last been swept out Of the way, and is
buried under the stencil it created. No sim
gle abuse, perhaps, aroused so much gen.
eral dissatisfaction as this. The brutality
and cruelty exhibited by the dog-snatchers
erred aloud for redress; everybody with Il
heart in his bosom prayed that a check
might be set to their barbarOus practices. 1t
is difficult to overestimate the demoraliza-
tion they spread among the young.
Now they are gone, and the dog pound has
passed under the control Of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. 1t would
have done so long ago but for the power
which maintained Undo in his place. So
omnipotent WAS his pull that it looked at
one time as though he was the Old Man OF
the Sea, whose legs were so tightly twined
round the public neck that he could not be
shaken off. He has gone, however, at last
and Dir. Partridge, on behalf of the society,
takes his place. Under his authority it Is
not easy to conceive that cruelty can be
practiced.
The change having been made, the ocea-
sion is opportune to make few oDserya-
tons to the public. The dog is the familiar
friend of man. capable, under proper train
ing. of being made useful friend and an
agreeable companion. But to obey the in
stincIs of his nature, and to enjoy perfect
health, the dog requires facilities which are
not to be found in cities. A dog is created
10 roam over wide spaces. He must have
exercise, or his constitution will suffer. To
coop him up in a small backyard is cruel.
To let him lose to roam the streets is not
fair TO the neighbOrs. Persons who have
not an instructive liking for dogs object very
much TO their contisuity. They regard
them. not without some reason, As nuisances.
Hence the city dog is a creature that is out
of place
In a number OF families pet dogs enjoy

that they viii serve as watch dogs. In point
Of facJ, burglars have been known TO step
over house dogs IN their hunt for the silver
closet; the dog has slept peacefully while
the burglar was pocketing the spoons. And

unhealthy companions in a house. \ dogs

THE PUBLIC PRINTING.
First Meeting OF the Supervisors Con

First Meeting OF the Supervisors Com
mittee.
The first meeting of the Printing Com
nlttee OF the new Board of Supervisors was
held late Yesterday afternoon, the full COM
mittee, Carnes Curtis and Aver, present.
There was really nothing done. The COM
miitee seemed to be looking around for bear
ings more than anything else. as the matter
of lubic printing was not 4 familiar one
and it desire d all the information and light
possible before taking any decided steps.
Tie business representatives, of TWO or three
papers were present, however, and they
We're asked to express their views.
Mr.. Barnes Of the Bulletin told in a few
words what he regarded a fair way of in
wiling competition, and explained that all
the paper he represented desired is a fair
chance.
Mr.. Hlrsch of the Post said he understood
the meeting was called to decide upon the
disposition OF some special printing outside
OF what /, commonly designated as public
printing. ana it was In that behalf that he
was present.
Clerk Russell was asked to explain the
usual disposition made Of the printing, and
how 1t was done, which lie did at some
length.
About the only comment the members of
the committee offered was that they had
pledged themselves to see that all uublic
printing Is fairly and honestly disposed of
ana they proposed to DO that as nearly as
possible. They would act in behalf Of the
people rather than any particular paper.
Finding that they were in no position to act
definitely upon anything they decided to
take the matter under advisement until next
Friday.
1t is understood. though no opinion to that
effect has been filed, that the City and
County Attorney has expressed tile
opinion that the specifications ac-
cording to which the old board awarded
the printing to the Report are Illegal, and
such being the case the board has the nower
to invite new bids under corrected and LEGAL
specifications. There is little doubt but
that this course will be pursued

CLEVELAND DEMOCRACY.

MI. Clrvel-nd's speeches do not 90 much
to promote the campaign OF education. He
INDUCES too much 10 g.iitering generalities.
\ -earcher after truth Will ponder over his
speech at the Jackson banquet without
finding any nuggets. Mr.. Cleveland says
that " We should constantly congratulate
ourselves that our party creed is broad
enough to meet any emergency that can arise
in the life Of a free nation" Applied to
party politics this would imply that the Re
publican party creed is not. Yet we find
the Government in the hands OF the Repub-
iiran party during the most progressive
quarter-century in the history of our nation.
The Republican party creed was broad
enough to meet the unexpected emergency
OF rebellion; 20 bring the TebelliOuS States
back into the Union, and to extend over
them a fiscal policy which is developing
their resources with results never dreamed
OF under Democratic rule. Mr. Cleveland
speaks OF the intimidation by employers
OF the voters dependent upon them for work
and bread" somewhat conspicuous ex-
ample Of this kind of intimidation is found
in some thirty or forty Congressional dis
trict~ in Democratic States where one class
Of voters are openly denied the right to vote
What Mr.. Cleveland thinks of this intimi-
daton may be inferred from his reference to
the Federal Elections Bill as "a scarcely de-
MED purpose of perpetuating party suprem-
acyin elections" Apparently he sees no crime
in intimidation that keeps Republican voters
from the polls. When George c. Gorham
was called upon at a banquet to define the
difference between the creed of the Repub-
lican party and that of the Democratic, lie
avoided the task by q ocular remark that
everything that was good was Republican
and everything bid Democratic. Gorham's
jest seems to have worked its way into Mr..
Clevel nd'5 head and there assumed the form
Of sober assertion that verything that is
good IS Democratic and everything bad Re-

The Supervisors to BE Petitioned to

The Park Lane and Seventeenth Street
Improvement Club met last evening in the
flee OF Captain Dahler at Market and Sew
eneenth streets. NJ. V. Stevens presided,
and the evening was devoted principally TO
the discussion OF a petition to the Board of
Supervisors asking that Seventeenth street
be extended and widened from its junction
with Market to Stauyan street.
Bernhard JoOst, who owns several lots
fronting on the street which the petition
proposes to widen, was present, and opposed
the appeal on the ground that the Street
had not been properly graded. He thought
that until such time as a suitable grade had
been established action looking to further
improvement should be deferred.
NJ. V. Stevens replied that the widening
oil seventeenth street meant the extension
Of Market street. If the street was widened
a cable road would be built, ana Mission
street people would have an easier route to
Golden Gate Park.
With but one dissenting voice it was de-
cded to present the petition to the Board of
Supervisors at their next meeting. and

Winants were appointed committee 10

RIGHTS OF PROPERTY.

The pith of the American policy in reg ard
to the seal fisheries is that the United
States has a property right in the seals
which we do not lose when the seals cross
an arm of the sea on the way from an
American shore to another. The British
position is that when the seals that have
been bred on an American island and cared
for by the American Government 90 more
than three miles from either shore they be-
come the legitimate prey of seal fishers. 1t
is expected that the Democratic new spapers
Of the United States will take the British
view OF the case. They would apparently
like nothing better than to create public
opinion against the position of the admins
tTaiion which may cause an abandonment
