DOGS ARE WILD.
Steal Chickens Tear Tame Dogs and
Brighten People.

Brighten People
New York, May 18.-In a patch of
thick woodland just east of Great Neck.
i. T.. a pack of dogs have taken UP
their abode, and are rapidly becoriing
as wild and savage as their far-aWay
ancestors, the wolves Of the forest
Where they strayed from nobody
seems to know, but they have made
their presence there felt not only by
their bowling and barking at night, but
by their depredations. By day they are
not to be seen, nor have many seen
them by night, for when they are on
the hunt they are stealthy and quiet;
but the loss of fully 100 chickens by
the farmers thereabout is laid to them
On Sunday night there was a great up
roar in ore Of the streets, and a big
Newfoundland and a shepherd dog, be-
longing to residents of Great Neck,
were found torn to pieces in the road
The pack had evidently attacked
them or been attacked by them Peo-
pie are afraid to be out late at night
lest the wild dogs attack them 1t is
supposed that the pack numbers eight
or ten. Steps are being taken to or
ganize a hunting party to trace the
dogs 10 their lair in the woods and kin

mcnwealth for his own benefit; and it
is only at last, when all these worthless
have had their I'll, that the much
squeezed people are thought of at all,
and then too often stones are offered
TO them instead of bread. There are,
| indeed, so-called Christian monarchs,
who, like good-natured riders, stroke
or pat the neck of the creature painting
under their weight; but that the heavi-

In the same manner, an aristocracy
can make excellent laws for them
| selves. but not for the people. Has the
/ aristocracy of England, perhaps the
cleverest body Of it's kind in existence,
| ever done anything in the interests of
! the workingman? No! If they have
retained their position until now, it is
only because they have not shown
| oyer-much obstinacy in strenuously
! opposing reforms that had become alb
sOlutely necessary. But again, the
/ legislators of the representative state,
although elected by the people, are not
capable OF making good laws for the
working classes, but yet are able to
make excellent laws for their own
class, the middle class. And why?
| Because, as experience teaches us, the
majority of every representative body
consists of capitalists and their crea-
| lures, and members Of the middle
classes, hostile to social progress And
even as the STAKEHOLDER is, by his very
nature, incapable Of making laws in
the interest of his slaves, so the rep
resentatiye, being a capitalist, is in
capable of ever framing laws in the
interest Of the workman. Representa-
tive democracy, though it be, compare
lively speaking, a far better form Of
government than a monarchy or an
| aristocracy, is therefore not that po-
| litical form within which the world
OF workers can attain its proper place
and social questions can be solved. 1t

lespecially the peasantry, were always

only; but, unfortunately, the expert
ence of every country shows that this
is done only in exceptional cases AS
a rule, the people elect only members
of the so-called higher orders, because
the pernicious prejudice, an outgrowth
of monarchial periods, leads men to be-
lieve that intellect alone can produce
good laws, and consequently highly
educated people are all that is wanted,
while, in reality, interest is the deter
mining cause in matters of legislation.
Add to this, that the salary of mem
Der of legislative body, and the trav-
cling expenses paid to him, are syste-
matically fixed SO low that for a mem
Der of the working classes it is eco
nomically impossible to fulfill the func-
tions of a representative.
