PERILs OF BULL-FIGHTING.
1t Is an Easy Matter for Toreros TO Nee,
N Violent Death

1t Is an Easy Matter for Toreros TO Meet
Violent Death.
u From the London Graphicl
The terrible death of promising young
torero in the bull ring has once again at
tracted the attention of the English public to
the Spanish national sport. One is accus-
toned to hear bull-fghting denounced as both
cruel and cowardly-cruel because of the suf-
fering il inflicts upon animals. cowardly be-
cause the risk run by the bull-fghter is in
fnitesimal. The first charge is absolutely
true, so far, at least. as concerns the unfortu-
nate horses. The second is equally false. as
the tragic death of Espartero the other day
should serve to teach the amateur critics,
who. for the most part. have never seen the
spectacle they denounce in such unqualified
terms.
If the Spaniards would only revive the
original form OF the sport they borrowed
from the Moors-that is q say, the riding,
not of wretehed cab horses, only fit for the
knarker. and mounted by professional plea
dores. but of valuable horses. with ''Cwners
up" who would, Of course, exercise their
skill in trying to save their mounts-there
would be little to be said against bull fighting
on the score of cruelty.
As to the current sneers at the cowardice
of the bull fighters. they are the outcome of
sheer ignorance One has but 10 witness the
entry into the ring of fresh-caught Anda-
lusian hull. twice the size and weight OF n
lion. fully as fierce and almost as active. TO
understand that every man in the ring car
ries his life in his hand. and that a momen-
tary loss of nerve. Of judgment, or of footing
will probably mean instant death.
That terrible fighting "spear"-a Spaniard
never talks of a bulls horn any more than
an Englishman of sox's 'tail'-would make
short work of any man who had not devoted

have seen such daring and accomplished

might with kitten. knowing all the time
that the slightest mistake would be fatal can
not. if they speak the truth. refuse to admit
that the combination of skill and courage is

He had provoked the girl. Internationally,

Putting that question aside. we shall return
to the fact that he had provoked her.
He thought he had at the time it occurred.
and after she had made few remarks to
him on the subject, there was no longer any
doubt On his mind. Men go through this

Vapor."
The succeeding lines acquainted me with
the facts: Miss H, who had apartments on
the second floor Of Mrs. D-'s residence. in
variably left the gas burning in her bedroom
upon retiring, and ''it was thought that
strong draught had blown it out through the
night"
The knowledge that I had committed an
unintentional murder fairly staggered me,
while the thought that at least two people
knew OF my having tampered with the gas
awoke me to a realization Of my position.
That negative, obtained at such q risk, must
never see the light.
The colonel had me on the hip, and was
forced to report to Mrs. B. that was unable
to accumulate evidence Of damaging charac-
ter without entailing the publicity which she
(and y abhorred!
Thus the case was dropped and was forced
to admit that an unforeseen event had been
the means Of holding detective at bay.

Mutual surprise.


They were sitting on the sofa in the first
sweet rapture that follows the confes sion of a
mutual and undying regard.
Her was on his shoulder. Her right
hand lay tendcrly clasped in his. His left
arm encircled her waist. and their lips met
Rt frequent intervals.
The breast OF the maiden was filled with
futterings of intense happiness; with the JOY
of an ambition gfatiled: of a goal attained.
For had she not brought him to the point at
last.
Nevertheless. she said shyly while inter-
mittent little bushes chased themselves
swiftly over her fair young face:

Following is list of yearly salaries pal
to 1862 OF these employees. none OF whom re-
ceIve less than 81 900 year:

There are. however. MANY more than 49,
900 persons whose labor is paid tor by New
York city taxpayers money. Employees oi
the contractors who obtain contracts from
the city Tor a variety of jobs, and men who
work on city improvements that are done by
contract are indirectly paid by the city. and
as their masters are faithful to those who
give them the contract. SO are the employees
faithful and vote az their masters dictate.
This swells the number OF the Tammany Hall
army far beyond the $1,000 whose names are
on the city's pay rolls.
AS COMPARED WITH STATE INVESTMENTS.
To obtain better idea OF the extraordinary
extent of Tammany patronage some COM
parisons might be made with state govern
ments
Take the states alphabetically and add to-
gether the cost of the government of each and
it will be found that the first TWENTY-FIVE
states on the list-nameiy. Alabama Arkan-
sas. Colorado, Connecticut. California, Della
ware, Florida. Georgia. Iowa, Indiana. Idaho.
Illinois. Kansas. Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine,
Maryland. Massachusetts. Michigan. Mime
sofa. Mississippi, and observation-disclosures an
nually as payment for all expenses OF govern
ment, including interest on state debts. pay
ments on principal of state debts. etc. a total
sum of Ssl .375.170. Thus the total expendi-
ture of the whole twenty-five state govern
ments named does not equal the amount eX-
pended annually by the government of this
city.
Now take the other twenty-five states
Montana Nevada, Nebraska. New Hampshire,
New Jersey. New York, North Carolina. North
Dakota, Ohio. Oregon. Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Ten
nessee. Texas. Vermont, Virginia. Washing
ton, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
The aggregate disbursements of these twenty
two states for cost Of state government in
terest on debt, etc.. amounts to SCI .sO6, ,456.
So 1t is demonstrated that the New York
city government spenos more than half as
much money annually rs it costs to pay the
expenses of government, reduction Of state
debts and interest on the public debt OF all
the states in the Union.
The New York city government means the
Tammany Society, and therefore Tammany
dispenses more money and patronage than do
the state governments OF one-half the United
States. The average salary of state Gov
ernors does not amount to $1,000 year. The

diction, we are content to leave II. We
have commented upon the casps for the
purpose of modifying our former opinion
in So far as the intimaton may be drawn
from it that no case can be found in the
English courts which give color Of au-
thority to the proceeding instituted in this
case.
If the courts Of equity in England ev-
er entertained bills of discovery of this
character, and If the jurisdiction be
cause incorporated into our system 10y
the adoption Of the common law, we are
still of the opinion that it is no longer
the law of this state. In some of the
states It is held merely that statutes
which permit the parties to testify, or
which allow interrogatories to be fled
to the opposite party do not take away
the jurisdiction Of courts of equity to
compel a discovery Getting cases from
New Jersey, Tennessee, West Virginia,
Alabama and Mississippi In these
states the separate jurisdiction Of the
law and equity courts is maintained.
The contrary is held In Missouri where
the courts exercise both law and equity
Jurisdiction. The effect Of our statutory
system was passed upon In Cronln VS..
Gay (supra) and Il was held that bills
Of discovery were thereby abolished. IT,.
however, the question were one of first
impression we see no good reason which
would impel MS to a different conclusion.
