We are surprised at no report of
deepest cruelty perpetratedin Mexico
our neighbor which maintained the
Inqulsition for more than 800 years
has slain its IS Protestant martyrs in
the last 81 sand still rejolces
in its unspeakable bull-fghts and
cock-fghts. We were sickened at
heart, mot surprised-when we read
that on the 5th inst. 1000 people at
Monterey met to witness a fight be-
tween a bull and a lion; and when
the lion eess blood thirsty than the
1000 witnesses) refused to fight, he
was hung up within reach of the infu-
rated bovine to suffer unto awful
death. But we were surprised to see
an account of it in one of our East
Tennessee dailies, under the unjust
and cruel caption, "The Lion was a
Coward" and with no hint at con-
domination of what the Nashville Ban
ner truly calls "a thoroughly brutal
affair"
And yet, this Mexican savagery diff
ers but little in degree from the an
nual tournament with which Knoxville
disgraces Itself in the month of May.
Inanimate targets do not suffice; nc
the knightly, chlvalric sports mus
glut their barbaric taste by shooting

birds; "Not one of them is forgotteI
before Cod" Nor will their slayer,
be forgotten by Him in the day o
reckoning.
