Trying to Reform the Senate.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 3o.-There
seems to be good ground for the asser-
ton of President Polk, of the National
Reformers' alliance, that his orgrniza-
tion was now addressing itself to clean
ing out the United States senate.'' Alli-
ance leaders and speakers are waging
war against Senator Morgan, of this
state, and openly declare that he viii be
defeated for reelection by a candidate
whom the alliance will suggest.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

If any person shall wilfully over
drive, overload, wound, injure, tor
ture torment, deprive of necessary
sustenance, or cruelty beat, or need
lessly mutilate, or kill, or cause or
procure to be overdrlven, overloaded
wounded, injured, or tortured, tor

needlessly mutllated, or killed as
aforesaid, any useful beast, fowl or
animal, every such offender shall
for every such offence be guilty OF
a misdemeanor.
Code, FOL. 2 chap. II, sec. 24S2.
THE DEMOCRAT has printed the
above section from the Code before,
and the frequency of overlooking
horses on the streets and roads
makes it a matter of public griev =
ance.
Every person who is guilty OF
any of the crueltles enumerated IN
the section quoted from the Code, is
liable to be indicted and Oughth to
be indicted. We call the attention
of teamsters and others to the mat
ter, and hope that it may not be
necessary for any one to be punish
ed according to law for any such
misdemeanors.
But we have recently seen cruel
ties practlced upon teams on the
streets and elsewhere that will hot
be much longer tolerated, and they
ought not to be tolerated by any
christian community. We hope a
word of suggestion will suffice.

Well, Why Didn't They.

Many newspapers are saying
"much in every way about the
failure Of the Legislature to pass a
dog law. "Why did they not do it,"
is the question asked on almost
every side. The Progressive Furmer
does not ask any questions about it,
but makes the following observation:
We are sorry the legislature did
rot tax the dogs. Few men have
any adequate idea of the drain en-
tailed upon the prosperity of the
State By the keeping of worthless
ours. The argument against the
taxation Of the dogs. that they
belonged TO the poor, and must not
be taxed out Of tenderness to the
poor and humble, is about the most
perfect piece Of cheap nonsense that
we remember to have seen. The
poorer q man may be, the less use
he has for dog. There is absolutely
no income derivable from dogs.
Would it not be kind to the very
poor man to tax dogs until be would
not be able to keep one to divide
the bread and meat with his childreng
There is neither rhyme nor reason in
refusing to tag dogs upon the ground
that they have any value at all tc
the poor man, or 10 any one else.

that there is difference of opinion

Some three months ago The
DEMOCRAT began to call the atten-
ton Of the people of Scotland Neck
to the needs of better school facll-
tiles. We suggested a plan by
which the female school could be
improved and a large male school
established. The plan was for the
business men and other citizens OF
Scotland Neck to subscribe money
enough to build a good military
school and then let the trustees OF
Vine Hill Academy sell the surplus
land and improve the buildings of
the female academy.
The citizens of the town held two
meetings and drew up subscription
contract and placed in the hands OF
the editor of The DEMOCRAT to
solicit the necessary amount to build
the school. A building committee
was appointed, consisting of Mess.
d. Edmondson, W. H. Kitchln and
w. c.. Allen, who were requested to
draw up a plan of the buildings and
push the work when a sufficient
amount should be subscribed.
1t gives us pleasure to say to the
public, that as a result of our labor
III soliciting subscriptions, we
have returned the list to the com
mltteC with about seven thousand
dollars subscribed, all gilt edge,
Ihis insures a good building which
will be OF brick. The committee
are now preparing plans and will
soon let out the contract for the
building.
The site selected is a beautiful
plat on the west side of Main Street,
fronting sixth street on the south,
and Main Street on the east, Or
better known as the Kitchin prop
erty lying on Main Street on one
side and the street leading from
Main to the residence Of Mr., b. D.
Gray on the other. The grounds
will contain some eight acres and
already have a good dwelling, the
one now occupied by Mr.. Claude
Kitchin.
THE DEMOCRAT congratulates the
town and community upon this
forward stride they have made; and
we give it as our opinion that Ii
VIII not be a great while before al
will see it a wise and profitable
Investment. The plan is to opel
the school by September.
The subscribers lend their money
to Mr. Allen and take a pro rats
lien upon the property according t(
the amounts subscribed, and Mr.
Allen executes notes to the sub
scrlbers for the payment of thu
money in a time agreed upon il
the general contract.
We suppose the school will b.
under the supervision of the Boar(
of Trustees of Vine Hill Academy
just as the present male school is
Again We express our qualification
at this wise move on the part O
our citizens, and take some pride il
asking the question: Who say!
Scotland Neck is not a wide-awak
town?

ABOUT THE LEGISLATURE.

The Statesville Landmark gives
a sensible review of the work
of the Legislature. We make
room for two observations:
"The body enacted some notably
commendable legislation. We refer
particularly to its establishment of
the geological survey; to its appro>
priation of $25. 900 for an exhibit of
the States capacities and resources
at the Chicago Exposition; to the
law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes
to minors; the law making compul-
sorry the teaching in the public
schools of the nature and effact Of
alcoholic stlmulants upon the human
system.
X Il
A fact which needs to be empha>
sized in speaking of this Legislature
and its work Is this that whereas it
was elected to "reform'' things we
find upon its adjournment that it has
left things very much as it found
them. 1t has not reduced taxes-it
could not do that; 1t undid nothing
material that had been done hereto~
fore, because nothing very wrong
had been done. 1t simply in the
main took the course Of the other
Legislatures we have had for twenty
years, which was an admission thai
its predecessors for that period haG
managed things pretty we'll. We dc
not say these things to belittle the
body which has just adjourned, blu:
to polut out that the people have
been largely misled by clamor into
believing that the State needed to BIZ
turned inside out.
