Cruelty to Animals.

ED. NORTHERNER:-Last w Wednesday
afternoon butchers team and wagon
stood i'm front of the postoflice. In the
cage were three calves and hog. The
team was poor and evidently i'll cared
for. At dusk the rig still stood there.
The calves were bleating and making
efforts to escape. At eight o'clock |
examined the outfit saw that ii did
not belong in the village. The hog was
grunting his discomfort. One of the
calves would bleat in terror and try to
break through the bars whenever the
hog crowded under it. The cry of one
of the calves was piteous wall for food
At half-past nine | went on the street
to find the owner, and learned that he
was on drunk at some of the hiding
places where responsibility never en-
tiers. | hunted up the village marshal
and he took the team in charge, | as
surfing him that | would make the prop
er complaint in the morning. | learned
in the morning that after | had left the
owner of the outfit appeared and de-
manded, with maudlin dignity, what
right any one had to NEEDLE with his
business, climbed up into his seat and
started for Kalamazoo, eighteen miles
distant. | learned farther that one of
the calves had been purchased the day
before and had been kept there at least
thirty-six hours without food. With
some difficulty learned the creatures
name Git would be an insult to the ami
mails he was maltreating to call him by
a higher appellation) and made an effort
to have him arrested and brought to
trial for his cruelty. was informed,
however, that a jury would probably
release him, but that if | insisted and
would stand security for costs the arrest
would be made.
1t may be said that | am foolishly
sensitive; that more or less unpleasant
ness must attend the collection of meat
animals that this is no unusual case.
But such plant of woe coming from a
dumb animal is "A cry for redress that
ought to be needed There is too much
apathy in the public sentiment that al
lows such practices. The cruelty, as in
this case, is likely to be aggravated by
giving drunken wretch the power to
prolong suffering needlessly. A case of
prompt and adequate punishment would
be a healthy restraint.

POLITICS AND WHEAT.
A Prominent WaIla Wal1a County Man
Who Is in Seattle, Talks.

Mr. w. G. Painter, of Walla Walla, is at
the Diller hotel, and will probably go
down to Olympia today. He is well
known from one end of the state to the
other, for he came to the Coast in 1850. In
the Indian war of 1855 he took part, and
for the Piute war of 1878 he raised COM
pany of volunteers. For the last twenty
six years in the eastern part of the state,
most of the time at Walla Walla, Mr..
Painter has been register of the land Office
there, and has also been county auditor
Although he has always taken an interest
i'll the welfare Of the Republican party, he
has not of late given so much time as he
used to politics. but has been devoting
himself to wheat raising.
Mr.. Painters brother, Hon. Joseph c.
Painter, of Walla Walla. who is now a
member of the House of Representatives, is
for the reelection of Senator Watson C.
Squire; and Mr.. Painter himself says that
from all he can judge Senator Squire is the
choice of the Republican party, and sure
TO win.
"The wheat blockade has not affected us
so seriously as it has the people in Whit
man county," SAID Mr.. Painter, ''for our
wheat, although the crop was heavy has
been fairly well handled by the Hunt road !;
but still the road has had all it could do to
handle the crop"
