Cruelty to Animals.

Mr.. Nat SchulZbacher, the well
known Alamo plaza cigar dealer,
today noticed man severely abus-
ing his horse. "That is an out
rage and a disgrace to our city,"
said he to reporter. "The thing
to do is for the citizens of San An

organize society for the proven
ton of cruelty to animals, and each
man to be appointed special de-

vent any cruel treatment to ami
mails, and do credit to our city and
keep from being criticised by the

MELVILLE E. STONE,

A Successful Newspaper Man, Now
General Manager of the As
ISOLATED Press.
OF all the journalists and news.
paper men in the West there is
none better known than Melville f.
Stone. He was at one time a news
paper reporter. Then he became a
newspaper editor. Now he is a
bank president, with several other
things on his hands. Mr.. Stone
was born in Hudson, ILL.,, forty-five
years ago. His next birthday will
be celebrated Aug. Is. In 1860 Mr..
Stones father came to Chicago to
take charge of church, and his
son was placed in the public
schools. Mr.. Stone graduated in
the public high school in 1867.
Two years later he entered upon a
business career by the pur-
chase of an interest In a
foundry and machine shop, of
which he became sole proprietor
IN 1870. In the great fire o. 1871
he lost all he had and was heavily
in debt. Then it was that he be-
came a newspaper reporter. A
position on the old Republican
was given, and when that paper
was merged into the Inter-Ocean,
Mr.. Stone became its city editor.
In June, 1873, he was made assis-
tant editor Of the Mail, and upon
the consolidation OF that paper
with the old Post Mr.. Stone be-
came managing editor. A few
later he withdrew and
went to Washington as a cores
for several western papers.
He returned to Chicago in 1875
and resumed the position on the
Post and Mail, but soon resigned,
and on Christmas day, 1875, he

Adopted Woman sufrraee.

The Kansas Populists have adopted a
woman suffrage plank. At Topeka,
June 10, in the Populist state con-
yention, th. minority report indors-
ing the pending woman suffrage amend
ment was adopted. The vote stood S37
to 800. The officeholding element Of
the party was against the amendment,
and did everything possible to defeat il.
Chairman Breidenthal was astonished
at the result Of the vote. The substitute
was carried amid the widest excite
ment. When the chairman announced
that the suffrage plank had been incor-
porated i'll the platform. tho women on
the stage embraced each other and waved
their handkerchief, while the conven-
ton went wild. The enthusiasm was
greatly increased when Susan B. An

Chief Justice Beasley gave an opinion

The decision is a general one, and while
it applies to all attempts of women ex-
ercising rights Of franchise under statu-
tory provisions it is a decision rendered
in connection with the election Of road
commissioner in Bergen county. The
contest was made because at the general
town meeting the chairman of the as

As the session Of congress closes, the
old democratic saw ia relation to re-
duced expenses of government is per-
petrated upon the people. Formerly it
used to be Holman, "Ehe Watchdog OF
the treasury who performed the song
and dance" act before the American
people. Now it lie u Sayree, who is
chairman OF the House committee on
appropriations. Mr.. Sayres makes out q
statement to the effect that this cone
gress has cut down appropriations S29,-
100000 below those OF the last congress,
and if s11,OO0,O00 appropriated in the
river and harbor bill for which no appro-
priation was made at all by the former
congress, be left out OF consideration,
this first session of the pres
emit congress will have appropriated s40,-
100000 less that the last congress at it's
last session. This 10 quite an item and,
il true, would be a matter for rejoicing.
But no n 10 80 handy at juggling with
figures as democrat who is trying TO
blind the people to the incompetency
and extravaganza OF his party. To be-
gin with the appropriations made are
$30,0O0,000 below the estimates made by
the democratic heads OF the different
departments as necessary to their main
tenance. But this 10 nm old democratic
trick OF appropriating less thaD is
necessary to meet the honest demands
of government, calling it economy at the
time as Mr. Sayres now does and then
leaving it to a succeeding congress TO
make up by a deficiency bill. This the
last democratic congress did, and Mr..
Sayers dedncts 100000 from his APP
preparations for this ia order that he
may make what be calls q proper COM
parison. He does not add, however, the

bill will create. This session has stop
