I N is in ntrict accord with our easy-going
method Of doing business. But some Gay
we shall hear of half dozen people
| bitten by n mad-dog. and then we VIII get
in a great rage and will be ready 70
make q. war OF determination upon the
whole dog population.
There are several ways OF dealing Win
| the dog nuisance. One Is to permit no
unmuzzled dog to go upon the streets
| upon the penalty Of being taken up and
killed. This system may be worked
either with or without the license re-
auirement and is very effective. An
other method OF disposlng OF the sur
plus dog population Is that suggested
year or two ago by our Board Of Police
Commissioners.
That plan provides for pound. All
unlicensed dogs Tor, IL we choose we
may say all unmuzzled dogs would be
taken up and impounded. They would
be kept a reasonable length OF time, SO
that their owners might come forward and
redeem them. This redemption fund, III
Is believed. would very nearly pay the
expense OF the dog-catchers. But those
doe-catchers would not be OF the Old
fashioned sort, who made as much OF
sensation when they appeared upon the
streets as II they had been a regiment
of soldiers. No: the modern dog-catcher
is q quiet and transformations gentleman
who leisurely walks about the city, and
who. upon seeing an unlicensed dog'
whistles him up and persuades him 10
accompany him to a covered wagon near
by. There he is suddenly seized and I'M
nrisoned in the wagon for transportation
10 the pound. to be killed If not ransomed
II would be seldom necessary to use
the net. Nor would many valuable dogs
be sacrificed, for an owner, upon missing
his dog, would at once conjecture that
he was in the pound. and would hurry
there to redeem him and to comply win
the city's ordinances.
Certainly Richmond ought to have some
law that would cause at least half the
dogs here to be killed or deported, but
we shall never have 1t until the CITY
Council is spurred up 10 the marx by
public opinion. We have great many
societies here-some of them very usefui'
indeed-but there is need OF another,
society to protect the community against
dogs that go at large and snap at chill
dren or servants, and dogs that stay at
home and howl Why haven't we gotten
relief ere this?- Why indeed, except that
there has been lack of organized move
ment to secure action upon the part OF
the City Council.
During the last twelve months more
real cases Of hydrophobia have been re-
ported in this country than ever before
The reason therefor is not patent 10 our
mind. but Of the fact stated we are con-
yineed. So it would seem that 1t Is time
for us to be taking such precautions as
will reduce to a minimum public danger
from this disease, and which VIII incl
dentally lessen the number of dogs In
the city. AS we have said before, 1t is
odd that the law allows a dog to be as
noisy as he pleases to be, while the
slightest shouting on the part OF man
NJ night will cause him to be locked up.
We don't desire men to have more license
IN this respect but that dogs shall have

JAPAN EYES THE KLONDIKE.

SEATTLE. WASH, December Cap
tain w. Thompson. Of the Kagashima
Maru, one of the Nippon Yusen KaishPs
vessels sailing between Seattle and Japan
in conjunction with the Great Northern
railway. has just arrived here and re-
ports great interest in Yokohama, Kobe,
and other Oriental cities regarding the
Klondike. He says next spring will wit
ness the coming Of from 5000 to 1O,OO
persons from these places bound for the
Yukon. Captain Thompson said:
american newspapers, particularly
those published on the Pacific Coast,
are much sought after in Japan, because
of what they contain regarding the
Klondike."
Captain Thompson says the officers Of
the Nippon Yusen Kaisha's Branch
Steamship Line, operating between Yoko-
hama and Bombay, report shortage
in the Indian cotton crop. This, It
seems to me-" the Captain observed, ''is
bound to force better prices for Ameri-
can cotton"

wANTEp-A DoG-CATCHER.

The recent spectacle of hundreds of
our people terrorized by supposed mad
dog. should cause us TO stop and con-
slider what victims to the dog nuisance
we Richmonders are.
Our laws upon the subject are worth
less as protection from dogs that howl
o. nights. that bite children in the day
time. or upon occasion go mad and
scare whole neighborhoods nearly out OF
their wits
1t is true the city exacts a license for
dogs kept within the corporate limits,
but while this tax produces some reve-
nue., we are yet 10 learn that dog
with piece OF medal tied TO his neck
is any better hammered than one with
out that ornament. The truth is we
Richmonders are a long-suffering and
phenomenally forbearing people about
many things. There is not another city
OF our rank in the land that would
tolerate such sidewalks as We have on
Ninth street. There is no other city
that would submit to the dog nuisance
as we do.
The late beloved Chief OF Police John
Poe. estimated that there were no less
than 1900 dogs kept In this city at the
time when he figured upon the subject
That was several years ago. Now we
must have between 5000 and 1900 here
All these ara permitted 10 make night

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.

Strong pressure is being brought TO
hear upon the Senate to have the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty discussed in
omen session, and there seems TO be no
doubt that opposition to the annexation
movement has gained great strength
lately.
Adyices from Washington are to the
effect that many Democratic senators
who were undecided upon the question
when the treaty was submitted for rati-
fication to the Senate last spring, are now
pronounced anti-annexationists, and Sena-
tor Faulkner has expressed the belief
that the entire Democratic strength Of
the Senate will be thrown against rau-
fcation. Among the Democratic senators
who had not made up their minds last
spring whether they would vote for or
against ratification. but who have since
taken a firm stand with the opposition,
is Senator Daniel.
The Baltimore Suns Washington cor
respondent quotes the Senior Senator
from Virginia as saying:
ut would be a foolish and eX-
pensive policy to pursue. For every
dollar we would ever get out or
the Hawaiian Islands we would
have to spend ten. Besides, the charac-
ter of the population is not such as to
make IT a desirable addition TO our own.
I shall vote against annexation in what
ever form the proposition is brought be-
fore the Senate. / regard the whole
matter as a scheme to benefit few peo-
ple at the expense of the government.
I can see no force in the argument that
the islands would be of service to us In
a time of war. on the contrary. IL
seems to me that they would increase our
embarrassments and make the protection
Of our coast more difficult, owing TO the
necessity of diverting part of our force
for the protection of the islands them
selves. Annexation would be an expen-
siye experiment, and one we should not
try now"
What with the acknowledged Demo
cratic antagonism to the movement. 1t Is
eoptended that if the light is turned on
the whole matter. and the jobbery that
Is in 1t is exposed, the annexationists
will not be able to muster the two thirds
vote in the Senate necessary TO ratifica-
lion.

WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER s, 1897.
A MATHEMATICAL PRODIGY.

II we are going to establish a national
university we ought to establish 1t right
away so that Congressman Dingley may
be called TO it's chair OF higher and mixed
mathematics while he is in the heyday
of his intellect. Congressman Dingley is
a mathematical prodigy. Considering
him as a calculator, we have never look
ed upon his like before. and we are GER
tain we shall never see his like again.
What he doesn't know about the high
art or high science of juggling with
figures isn't worth knowing. and his
pre-eminent equipment for the chair
mentioned is beyond question.
The President, in referring in his mes
sage to the Dingley tariff bill, INDUCED
in iridescent generalities touching what
1t had accomplished. and in vague opti-
nism as 10 what it would accomplish.
Congressman Dingley however, has been
interviewed on the past, the present, and
. the promise of the measure, and, practi-
cal mathematician that he is, comes down
10 cold figures. He enters into a calcu-
lation that would run the senior wrangler
In an ordinary institution of learning
wild Known and unknown quantities
are piled upon one another and inter-
mixed with one another with prodigality
and a labyrinthlanism that are simply
marvellous to contemplate. And yet this
product of Congressman Dingley's cal
culating genius affords but another illus
tration of the fact that even the most
intricate mathematical problem is SIM
pie enough when you see it, Upon the
application of a few primary rules of
arithmetic and logic to Congressman
Dingleys array of figures, we discover
that this Is the result OF his computation:
II we permit him to add to the deficit i'm
revenue $32OOO,0OO received in the last
months of the Wilson bill. and $51 600, 600
more that would have been received
through his bill If importations had been
made "in the normal way" under it, there
IS a $4,000, 900 surplus on paper instead of
a $46.OOO. 900 deficit in cold cash. so TO speak
Here Congressman Dingley's genius af-
fords us striking examples OF the force
OF the unknown quantities ''if' and what
might have been" However, we came
very near emitting mention Of the strong
est proof that Congressman Dingley is a
true genius. Simplicity and modesty are
the tests OF true genius, and Congress
man Dingley showed that he is both sim
pie and modest when in his interview he
admitted that there might be a, mistake
In his calculation. and suggested that the
mistake might be remedied by putting
another dollar on beer. So. we repeat, II
we are going to establish n national uni
versity let us establish 1t at once in or
der TO the securing of the services OF
Congressman Dingley before he passes
into the sere and yellow-leaf state. II
we postpone the matter the people may
realize as to education in higher and
mixed mathematics what they are rea-
lizing as to revenue. that

NORFOLK, VA, December 7.-(Spe-
cial)-With the object of preventing a
repetition of the riotous scenes which
characterized the November election in
Berkeley. when the polls were captured
by political faction. the Sheriff of Nor
folk county, with twenty-five deputies
went there to-day to do duty at the
town election. The anti-fusion party Is
sued an address claiming that the town
had been invaded by ''minions OF the
machine" but counselling their follow
ers to remain quiet. Only Few arrests
were made during the day, ana these
for interference.
Efforts to secure the location Of the
government armor-plate factory for this
city will be made by committees from

questioned as to the authenticity Of the
reported settlement of the differences be-
tween the Seaboard and the Southern
railway. he unequivocally declined to af-
firm or deny the published reports, or to
discuss in any manner their origin or the
future relations between the Seaboard
and it's rival. While no details can be
obtained here, IL is generally conceded
that some sort of an agreement has been
reached, but the report that there Will
be an interchange Of freight and pas
senger business between the Baltimore
Steam Packet Company and the South

secuted by both sides. A prominent off,

he had known the defendant as sober
