The American Kennel club will adopt
rules prohibiting the cropping of the
ears of dogs intended for exhibition at
the bench shows. Like the docking of
horses tails. this ear-cropping is a
cruel and useless operation. There are
dogs that could we'll be spared from To-
calities in which they have been raised.
Their sudden disappearance from the
face of the earth would cause no sor-
row among near neighbors of the own
ers of the pets; but there is no reason
why a dog or a horse should be tor
tured by the knife artist who seeks to
improve upon nature by mutilating the
poor animal. Next to the barbarous
practice of cutting off horses tails the
clipping of dogs ears furnishes a
shining example of the brutality of
civilization. 1t is a practice that
should be abolished by law, and the ac-
ton of the Kennel club is step in the
right direction. The incomplete dog
must go.

According to the Wayne Independent,
Christian Houseman, the Pike county
farmer who recently ran amuck in
Squire Newbergers office and nearly
succeeded in killing three persons, was
a good man in private life, and aside
from the propensity to commit murder,
had no bad habits. Houseman's case
should be warning to all good men
in future to refrain from carrying
deadly weapons and dynamite about
their persons. When a good man,
thoroughly equipped with the neces-
sary tools, goes wrong, the conse-
quences are generally unpleasant for
some one.

Case of Sour GRAPES.

Wilkes-Barre Leader: 1.-The Record staff
received from one of the church festivals
the other evening a quantity of cake and
pie, and in acknowledging the receipt
thereof they speak of themselves as the
weary scribes, dissectng pies What
made them weary? Was 1t dissecting the
pies or scissoring the Leader? 1t would
be ungallant to say the former, and as the
Record next day was made UP wholly of
the Leader of the evening before, it Is
more than likely to be the latter. Get
lighter scissors, brother scribes, and next
time when you tackle pie, you viii have
sufficient energy to masticate 1t without
experiencing that tired feeling"

Colorado Leads.

Arapahoe county. Colorado, has
taken a definite position on the ques-
tion OF recognizing the worth of wo-
man, in nominating q woman for the
office of county treasurer on the Re
publican ticket.
In commenting upon the action of
Colorado citizens in this matter the
Chicago News says:
This is a rebuke to the east, where
q woman's vote on even school affairs
Is made matter of doubt and opposi-
ton. Ever since the suffrage question
as concerns woman has arisen the
states farthest removed from advanced
thought centers have been the most
liberal and open to conviction.
The holding of responsible offices by
women is the largest concession which
can be made to the sex. Few women
comparatively would ever be willing to
occupy public office, as its duties
would directly conflict with those of
the home, 1t not being so possible for a
woman to combine the two as for n
man 10 TecOnClle HIS peISoiiai puSiiiSSo
affairs with those attached to a politi-
cal position.
There is no reason why woman
should not make a better treasurer
than a man. Her being woman gives
q greater sense of security is a kind
of pledge of her honesty and surety
that she and the funds will not disap-
pear together. Perhaps the Indulgence
in business affairs will scatter the firm
impregnability as to corruption which
dominates her character as we'll as
her higher standard of morals and in
time the woman treasurer and bank
official may disappear with other peo-
pies funds with as much agility and
more grace than the fleeing man of the
present day, but at present there is no
danger from that source.

Judge Golf of the United States circuit
court issued May an injunction 20 pre-
vent the state authorities from holding II
proposed election for delegates, on the
ground that there was fraud at the cleo
tion at which the calling OF the convention
was voted on; that II was held under an
unconstitutional registration law, which
was intended TO deprive the negroes of
their votes, and that there was fraudu-
lent conspiracy for that purpose.

Cyclone Rebounded Into the Air.
OMAHA, April 3O.-There was a cyclone
in the northwestern part of the city yes
terday Four houses were demolished at
the corner Of Thirty-third and Spaulding
streets, and number of outbuildings and
trees were blown down. Several persons
were injured, as follows; w. A. Barnett,
cut in the face and head; Mrs. Barnett, in
tOrnally injured; f V. Thompson, struck
by flying timber and seriously hurt in the
head; three Barnett children, more or less
cut and bruised; Max Sunderland, hurt
by falling timbers Several others were
slightly hurt.
As nearly as can be ascertained the cy-
clone only struck the earth for moment,
and then rebounded into the air. Its course
was from northeast to southwest. 1t was
about block in width and only covered a
territory of about four blocks long.
Some Of the residents who saw it from a
vantage of three or four blocks away said
that as nearly as could be seen in the dark
ness it looked as though bunch of clouds
came swirling through the air from the
northeast, and after striking the cottages
bounded into the air like a ball. Outside
of the immediate neighborhood of the de
vastation the wind was no greater than II
was in the other portions of the city. I'm
mediately after the greatest force of the
wind had subsided rain fell in torrents.
