He Saved His Masters Little Daughter
From the Attacks of Savage Cur.
The bay Jack is one of dozen hunters
which Mr.. James B. Dill keeps in his
stable at his home on Harrison street.
Orange. His fad is breeding hunters.
The other morning Mr.. Dill was stand
ing just inside the stable door talking
to his groom and had Jacks bride in
his hand
Suddenly he heard scream and rec
ognized the voice as that of his little
daughter. Jack, the bay hunter, heard
it, too. and he must have recognized it,
for quicker than it takes to tell and be-
fore Mr.. Dill realized what had happen
ed, Jack had jerked the bride from Mr..
Dilrs hand, backed out of the stable and
was running across the stable yard. Mr..
Dill followed, and what he saw was cal
culated to make him follow pretty rap
idly. His little daughter was being at
tackled by dog-a big, ugly, yellow cur
that did not belong around the place.
She had seen her father return from his
ride and had started from the house to
the stable to meet him, as was her Gus
tom. The strange dog had sprung at
her. Its teeth were tearing her dress,
and she was vainly struggling to release
herself.
What Mr.. Dill saw Jack, the bay
hunter, saw, too, and he must have had
the same appreciation of the little girls
danger that the father had. Running
until he reached the little girl and the
dog, he reared up on his hind legs and
then brought his fore feet down with
crushing force ON the vicious cur. The
dog released its hold on the girls cloth
ing and fell, but Jack had not finished
his work. Turning just as the dog was
about to rise again, he let fly his hind
legs and gave the cur kick that landed
it in a heap against a stone fence full 10
feet away. Then Jacks work was done,
and he waited for Mr.. Dill to come up.
Mr.. Dill found that his little daughter
was not injured, though badly frighten-
ed. Then he went over and took look
at the dog. 1t was dead. Then he went
over to his bay hunter, Jack, gave him
an affectionate slap or two and placed
his little daughter on Jacks back. The
hunter seemed to appreciate the compli-
ment and neighed with delight as he
started for the stable, where Mr.. Dill
told the groom to give him ''the best in
the house and plenty of it."-New York
World.

TEE nurs recently installed as teachers
in one of the Pittspurgh public schools
have retired and the attempt to unite
the parochial and public schools has, for
the present at least, been abandoned
The principle objection to the presence
of the nuns in the schools is laid to their
peculiar garb and they were requested
to lay that aside or retire from the
school They chose the latter course,
and took the Catholic children with
them, and again opened the parochial
school. They were also Influenced,
probably, in their withdrawal by the fact
that the Central Board refused to pay
salaries as long as they adhered to the
costume of their order A restraining
order was issued but the nuns did not
await its service, but retired of their
own accord.
The experiment attracted wide atten-
tion and its speedy failure seems to en-
phasiZe the fact that there is no common
ground which can be reached by the
nom -sectarian public school, and the
parochial school in which the tenets of the
Catholic Church are the chief subject of
study. No one can object to Catholic
teacher as long as that teacher confines
himself to the spirit of the public school
system, but if chat teacher insists in
teaching sectarianism or in wearing a
garb peculiar to church known to be
in hostility against the public school,
then the Catholic teaches becomes OBJ
jectionable.

PUBLIC OPINION.

THE LEADER AND THE LEGISLATURE.
Cleveland Leader.
The biennial sessions reform has tri-
umphed at last, in spite of the efforts OF
the keepers of Columbus hotels, board
ing houses, restaurants, and saloons, and
of the professional lobby lists to defeat 1t.
The action of the State Senate settles
the matter, and the adjournment taken
at the end of this session will be forever.
The Leader feels that it can justly claim
a share of the credit for the Inauguration
of this important reform. This paper
was the first to advocate the strict fol
lowing of the constitutional provision
regarding the sessions of the Legisla-
tuIe, and it started the agitation which
resulted in the adoption by the State
Republican convention of resolution
pledging the party to stand by the Con
stitution.
We congratulate the people of the
State, and feel certain that they will
have cause to commend the members
of the Legislature who stood out for the
reform in season and out of season. We
have word to say to the Republican
members of the General Assembly
That is: As this is to be the only session
of this Legislature an effort should be
made from now on to do business in a
business like way. All legislation, the
passage of which is necessary, should be
pushed for speedy consideration. Let
no time be wasted on trivial local meas
ures. There is no necessity for prolong.
ing the session beyond reasonable limits
for that would spoil the good effects OF
the reform. The course of the big Re-
publican majority in the present General
Assembly has been conservative in the
extreme There have been no scandal:
to mar its records. and there should bt
none. If the remainder of the session
is devoted strictly to business, and the
sine die adjournment comes early il
April, as it should, the party which il
in control will be better for it.

a velocity of 1890 feet per second. with
a pressure strain on the gun of 10 tons

The New York World says: "The
tax on sugar as fixed in the Senate bill
is far more costly to the people than the
bounty called for under the Mckinley
law" This is case of Democratic
authority denouncing bill on which
the life of the Democratic party is staked.

since it has so few friends in the Dem
ocratic party and none in any other

ACCORDING to statistics collected on
the subject in this country in 1873 there
were 2O0,676 places where liquor was
retailed. In 1898 the number of such
places was 229,936. The number of
inhabitants to each saloon in 1873 was
1872; in 1898 it was 272. These figures
may mean much or little, according to
the views of the person considering
them, but they unquestionably teach
that the liquor traffic has firm hold in
this country.

SOCIAL VCLGARITY.


Pittsburgh Dispatch
Rev. w. S. Rainsford, of New York,
who is an intelligent as well as progressive
divine, asserts that New York society is
inclined to be vulgar" The New Y ork
Sun, which asserts that there are not
more than hundred families in society
"giving elegant social entertainments
and pursuing the social pleasures which
are within the reach of the rich only"
asserts the contrary. Furthermore the
Sun, as if touched on the raw some
where, declares that if the charge is
true, civilization is failure
Let the world stop the discussion to
offer thanks that civilization does not
depend for its indication on the absence
from the New York Four Hundred of
vulgarity. There is good deal more
to civilization than the entertainments
and social efforts of the millionairss.
There has been a distinct impression
that men like Emerson in one class and
Lincoln in another were products and
exponents of civilization; but not even
an organ of the -Four Hundred like the
Sun would claim that they had much in
common with the plutocracy that now
sets itself as the glass of fashion and
the mould of form.
As to the main question, we can only
say that if New York society is not
vulgar it is the worst maligned collection
of persons known since the beginning of
the world. And the maligning is done
by its chosen organs. the selected report
ers of the doings of the alleged world of
fashion. From these authoritative
sources the impartial student of New
York society can learn that its main
standard is thatof wealth; and the social
qualification of money limited at in the
reference of our contemporary to "the
social pleasures that are within the reach
of the rich only" is one of the undou bted
vulgarities of the day. Beyond that a
study of McAllister ct al. permits us to
see that of the society under examina-
ton the plain spoken Biblical phrase is
descriptive and accurate Its god is its
belly, and the vulgarity of a society
which considers material feeding more
important than mental nourishment
must be rather indisputable. Finally, a
society whose chief aim is rather un-
successful aping.of the modes of foreign
aristocracy hoists the sign of vulgarity
on the front of its places and club
houses.
In fact, when we stand far enough
away from the illustrations of the sub.
Ject to view them without prejudice, for
or against them, we are able to see that
IN all ages of the world the society that
has set itself up to be fashionable has
always been essentially vulgar. The
mere arrogation by any circle of persons
to be superior to the rest of the world is
mildly characterized by DR.. Rainsford's !

A BILL to give women the right OF
suffrage in school elections failed by two
votes in the lower branch of the Legis-
lature. on Wednesday last, and for two
wears more, at least, the gentler sex will
not jostle each other in order to get to
the ballot box. Woman suffrage has its
active advocates and its vehement op-
ponents in every community, but the
sentiment in its favor is undoubtedly
growing. Twenty eight States now
have women suffrage in some form.
Aside from any sentiment in the case,
it is only just and right that in Re-
public women should vote, since they
are amenabIe to the same laws and if
they possess property, pay the same taxes
as men. We do not believe it is woman's s
sphere to gad over the country making
political speeches, and possibly the cause
of equal rights of the sexes has been re-
tarded by its unsexed advocates who
have preached it in season and out of
season, but these women are not repre-
sentative of the sex. 1t is the women
in the home whose influence is working
to advance the cause of equal rights
The mother whose first thought is for
her children may never have thought
about the ballot, but her efforts consti-
tute an unanswerable argument in favor
of giving her the ballot. She should
have voice in the public instruction of
her children, and she should also have a
voice in determining who shall make
the laws under which she and her child
rem live. 1t is argued that women
should have no voice in government
unless they alse assume its burdens,
such as sitting on juries, filling offices,
etc., but the women, in caring for and
teaching the future citizens of the Re-
public. already assume their full share
of the burdens of government. On the
women of to-day rests the character of
the people generation hence. Woman's
place is in the home, but the ballot would
not change her character, and suffrage
is due her only by the principles of jus
tice and right

AS IN A LOOKING GLASS.

Pittsbu-g Times.
Democratic supremacy is young yet.
but it is old enough in misrule to have
disgusted its most conspicuous cham
pions, outside of those who hold Office or
want to. The New York Sun, from the
day the Wilson bill was presented to the
House, has denounced it, the great sam
pie of Democratic policy on the most
important present subject of legislation,
as monstrosity of cowardice, ignorance
and treason to the party and the public
interests. Now comes the New York
World. which shares with the Sun
the foremost place among Democratic
journals, and boldly proclaims that the
changes made in the bill since it went
to the Senate have been made directly
on account of the corrupt influence of
the Sugar Trust lobby, operating on the
group of conservative" Democratic
Senators of which Senators Hill, Brice
and German are the eminent leaders.
Are there no righteous in Israel? These
be the very cardinal princes of the
Democracy which was to reform the way
of doing everything-very rainbows of
the promised millennium which the
people chased after in 1892 If the
mountain tops are SO foul and recking
with moral miasma that paper like the
World needs hold its nose, what must
the depth of the party be, below the
purifying sunlight of publicity?
1t may be true, as the World specific
ally charges, that these Democratic
leaders in the Senate have made "a SEN
atorial combine or pool, ostensibly in the
interest of certain of their protected
constituents, but virtually to intrigue in
the interest of the Sugar Trust" in re-
turn for large, direct bribes and larger
profits out of safe stock speculations for
which the lobbyists of the trust give
them inside pointers. We would prefer
to think not, for the credit of the coun-
try. but if it is so, we may all be con-
soled with the thought that after the
next presidential election it will not
have chance to happen agaiu for a
coon's age. Their clothing of little
brief authority may have too many
pockets, but it will soon wear out, as
the patience of the country has already
done.
