With all the good work done by the Societies Tor
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals which are
scattered all over the country the brutal treatment
of the faithful servant of man has by no means
been overcome 1t was painful and shocking
feature of the recent Horse Show. that SO many
horses had been dsfgured by the atroclous crop
ping Of their tails. This cropping is forbidden py
the laws Of this State. and yet vile fashion which
has no reason or excuse in its wicked cruelty die
tates this abominable Disagreement and injury 10
animals which are Of great value, and which would
otherwise be Of great beauty. Instances OF cruelty
of another kind were seen at the Horse Show.
Horses were put at jumps in the most persistent
and merciess manner when it was perfectly clear
that they could not get over the obstacles An
outrageous instance of brutality was seen only a
day or two ago at Chicago when the superb jumper
Rosebery was forced at a jump that he could not
possibly clear and was so badly injured that he died.
Every one responsible for this crime ought to go
to prison. 1t was easy to estimate the extreme
limit of Rosebery's powers, and it was shameful
and villanous in the extreme to overtax the noble
animal and inflict fatal injuries upon him.
It was not for lack of eloquent pleas in its
behalf that New-YorlI failed to carry off the prize
of the National Convention. The thanks of all of
us are due to Senator Hiscock and Mr.. Fassett and
to Senator Hawley, who added Connecticut's voice
to our own. Senator Hiscock in particular ac-
Quilted himself nobly before the National Com
mittee, besides exertng himself diligently in infus-
sing energy into the delegation which went to
Washington to urge the city's claims.
The first word which we have found in the
Anglo American press respecting reciprocity with
the English sugar islands is borrowed from q
colonial Sheet published in Kingston. Jamaica.
1t is limited that good deal of coffee, sugar and
other produce which is shipped from the island
to the United States is entered on through bills
Of lading and is transshipped to England from
New-YOrk. Allowance for that fact, it is feebly
contended, ought to be made in comparing the
exports sent from the island to the United States
and to England. WhereupOn the Anglo-Amer-
can press sagely concludes that dependence Is
to be placed upon trade statistics, and that COM
merce is never anything but mere matter Of
barter. How easy it is for these wise economists
to get around the fact that Jamaica sells about
$4,000, 900 of her produce in the United States
and so, 100000 in England The discrepancy
does H0I, OF course, mean anything, because Eng
lish importers instead of ordering their produce
by the Royal Mail steamers, prefer to get it by
way of New-Yorl, with increased charges of
transshipment and transportation. There is trop-
cal fruit, for example, of which the United States
takes according to the Jamaica commercial returns,
100000 while England imports only $4,000
Allowance must be made to be sure for the through
bills of lading. 1t is much more convenient
for English consumers TO import their oranges and
bananas by way of New-YorlS, so that there will
be tine for they fruit to get nice and soft during
two long sea-voyages.
