Reasons for Keeping . Force or Bloodhoundn
Mt Every County Seat.
Iron, the Charleston Ne,rs aud Courier.
We have frequently urged on the county au-
thorities of this State during the past few years
the expediency of the plan of keeping q fcw
track hounds at some convenient point in each
county, not only to trace actual criminals. who
cannot be followed by any other means. but to
deter the criminally disposed from the commits
sion of contemplated crimes by the assurance
which the presence of the dos, detectives affords
il they give effect to their evil inclinations. The
suggestion has been enforced on several, occa-
sions by reports Of good service rendered ~ the
and some very convincing testimony of the same
character is added by our Florence correspond
emit in his letter published yesterday. After
narrating how the mere arrival of the dogs al
Chadbourn had caused an unknown burglar to
from J; W; Cherry of Wilson. n; c.. requesting
Florence be sent to that place by first train.
just what they were wanted for has not been
considerably of late by the authorities in North
Carolina for running down criminals, and they
gets good pay for them whenever they arc used
Tor any, other pnrpose than running down
ers on hand, for it has reduced burglary and
incendiarism very, nearly 100 per Gent. dur
are he same ones that ran down a murderer
near Hub. n. c., last year, and ran down Edgar
Purvis, the tramp who shot Flagman Bi ,ckwell
on q Coast Line train at Dunn. \. G., about two
weeks ago. They are sent anywhere upon re-
prices will be paid for their services"
The lively demand for the Hnimnls from neigh
boring counties is evidence enough Of their sue
cessful services heretofore. and proves that they
are regarded as a useful police institution.
They should be as useful in every county.
The most important testimony to their value,
however. is afforded in the statement as to the
effect of their presence in reducing crime. The
mere fact of having these trailers on hand"
we are told. has been n great thing for Flor
ence," as shown by the marked decrease in tho
number of cases Of burglary and incendiarism
alone, to say nothing of other serious or lesser
crimes. A similar equipment should be a great
thing for O her towns or counties for the same
reason. and when its small cost is considered it
is really strange that evory county is not pro
Yided with one.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS--Sir. As returns
come in showing tho election Of Mr.. Van wyck
as the first Mayor Of Greater New York, any one
who takes the trouble to add figures can see that
the Tracy vote plus the Low vote, could they
have been taken together, would have kept
Mayor Van wyck at home.
This possibility OF an II, which unfortunately
did not occur, will, for some time TO come, upset
the mental digestion Of many of the eiect-those
truly good folk who are always wanting to
benefit the world and regenerato generally, pro-
vided that they can do it In their own way.
Their own way 10 spasmodic. and they are in
spasms while at It. But they arc such an ex-
coeding element Just now that II is worth the
while to speculate what they are going to do
about IL
First Of all, they will charge this triumph of
Tammany to Gen. Tracy because his machine ="
and he did not build the bridge from them to
victory. and will scosn "the machine" more
than ever.
Next. but not when seen of men. as this n
thing for their own ultra privacy. they will
venture to w~onder-their good intentions being
so vast-why the good Lord above did not
anyhow, no matter how, but only anyhow.
Lastly, after much disquietude and perturba-
they will roost upon. their porches until another
spasm sets them cackling.
They are human beings, very mucn IN evl-
dsnce Just now, md II Is really q pity II they
cannot somehow be made to learn the very plain
lesson of this days election. =.
fairly. by being tn roughly organized. 1t is a
machine" victory, which. those who shudder
helped to bring about. 1t will not absolve their
sweet souls from the onus of defeat to claim
although they will be first in the market place
to do so and with loudcst v~oices-that in their
pure intent they devised what has proved to be
the ,rawest OF methods. Mr.. Low had q
hundred thousand or moro signers TO a petit;
ton, some of whom seem TO have voted
for him. Every one signs petitions TO
get rid OF them. and any one can have
a petition for his election or his damnation IL his
friends Z" work for him. All the Truly Good on
earth could be outvoted by one Of Saturn's small
est regiments, If one in each corporals guard OF
the Truly Good felt himself called to the high
mission OF being elected boss by petition.
In politics, us in war, standing armies are the
only safeguard, and he who from lust Of power
divides one force must accept the moral re
sponsibility, as the Hon. Seth Low must do fol
tho disaster of to-day. >.

THE RET. DIR. BERRY's TIsIT.
One or His Objects to Promote an Arbitration
Treaty with England.

The Rev. DR.. Charles A. Berry, pastor Of
Queen Street Church. Wolverhampton. and
Chairman of the English Congregational Union,
was a passenger on the Teutonic yesterday, and
for ten days will be the guest of Rossiter Ray
mond of Brooklyn. DR.. Berry's purpose in Wis
iting America is to sock to bring about an arbi-
%trntion treaty between this country and Eng
land, and also to promote the movement for
church union, which is in progress among non
conformis's.
He denied yesterday the report published in
England hat he had been invited to act as
chaplain to the Senate in Washington for one
day. He will. however, address a mass meeting
at Washington on Dec. 6 on the subject of the
arbitration treaty. He will preach In Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, next Sunday at the BeecheI
semi.centennial anniversary exercises. Hill

A Question of Exasperating Lunacy

1t is manifest that tho subjoined COM
munication is inspired by q sincere sense
Of injustice:
"To THE EDITOR OF TIE Sus-Sir: Permis me TO cor
rect an error that seems TO abide with the news
papers. not excepting even TIE Sun. It is the I'm.
preston that HENRY B.. FoULEE, the exasperatfng
lunAtic OF Onset Bay, is q 'Theosophist leader or
even a Theosophist at all.
aye rs ago he was q member Of the Theosophical
Society. but that does not constitute him . Theoso.
phist. Joining an orchestra doesn't make any man
q musician.
~ Theosophist is simpl, one who believes in the
brotherhood OF all humanity, and proves It In his
daily life.
This FoULKE's antics reflect upon the society and
bring 1t into disrcpute. SO why give him Theosophist
headlines? Il. A. FIREMAN. r. 7. 8.
JAMAICA. Nov. e."
Unquestionably it is not right that seri-
Gus and w~ell-conducted Theosophists should
suffer in public opinion on account of the
| eccentricities or the misdeeds of their less
respectable brethren. But that is the way
of the world.
The main trouble we nav experienced
during a long period of friendly interest in
this astonishing organization, an interest
dating from the Eighth avenue epoch, is to
distinguish Det"eeu Juc philosophers anu
the fools, between the charlatans and the
sure-enough adopts. One of the most emf
nent of the inner circle professed to be able
to tell a real mahatmic epistle from a
forged one merely by smelling it. His
nose could not be deceived by any counter
felt of the subtle aroma which proceeds
from the genuine document from the Desert
of Cobb. We have no such simple test to
aid us in our efforts to discriminate between
the real Theosophists and the bogus.
This Mr.. FoULKE OF Onset Bay, for In
stance, was an aspirant for the honors OF
supreme leadership after the death OF
Madame BLAvATsKY. If our memory is
not at fault, he asserted earnestly that he
had received a direct commission from the
Madame herself. or course, the other fac.
tion denounced his pretensions, but there
nave been other cases of bitterness and
perhaps of injustice in Philosophical pol
itics. Those cases never go to the United
States Supreme Court. Each side Is its
own ultimate tribunal, because each sid
claims to nave the Mahatmas with 1t.
The substance of Mr.. FREEMAN's protest
Is that Mr.. FoULKE is an exasperatine
l~unatic, and therefore cannot. at the same
time. be a Theosophist leader. We are no,
prepared to admit that this necessarily
follows.
