The Dog Nuisance.

The Court of Appeals on Wednesday rem
dered decision on case growing out OF an
ordinance prohibiting dogs from running at
large. The opinion was by Judge Boyd, and
following is a synopsis
''This case tests the right of the city of
Hagerstown in forbidding, by ordinance, dogs
to run at large. Whilst the charter gives the
city no express right to prohibit dogs running
at large, yet the city is given the power to
suppress all nuisances in the corporation by
passing ordinances. If dogs had become
nuisance, the city could suppress their run
ming at large by any reasonable measure;
One of the reasons the court thinks that would
justify the preventing the running of dogs at
large is the liability of dogs to have hydro
phobia. The opponents of the measure won
below, but the Court of Appeals reverses this
decision and dismisses the bill of complaint
on the ground that the city had the power, to
pass the ordinance, and it was not in conflict
with city charter or state constitution, nor
was it $50 plainly unreasonable as to Justify
us in declaring it void.

Blaine to Mckinley in 1890.

WASHINGTON, April 10, 1890.
DEAR Mr.. MCKINLEY 1T is great mis-
take to take hides from the free list, where
they have been for so many years. 1t is slap
in the face to the South Americans with whom
we are trying to enlarge our trade. 1t will
benefit the farmer by adding FIVE to eight per
cent to the price of his chidren's shoes. 1t
will yield profit to the butcher only the
last man that needs it. The movement is in
iudicious from beginning to end-in every
form and phase. Pray stop it before it sees
light. Such movements as this for protection
will protect the Republican party into speedy
retirement Yours, hastily,

REPUBLICAN CLUB MEETINGS.
Some Plain Talk by Republican
Orators in Baltimore.

From Reports in Baltimore American, June p.
Col j. Frank Suppee, in speech before
the members of the Thirteenth Ward Repub-
lican Club, CAT West Baltimore street, last
night, outlined his administration in case of
his nomination and election as mayor. Col.
Supplee spoke in no uncertain terms of the
present municipal regime. He scored Mayor
Hooper, and characterized him as false
economist; as one who had not been loyal to
the party, and who had appointed to office
number of "brokendown aristocrats,
whose chief occupation was the signing of
their names. The Fire Board also came in
for share of attention. Col. Supplee pointed
house at every corner, which was the wish,
he said, of President Cathcart.
''Mr. Cathcart is in the fire insurance bust.
ness" he continued, 'and it is TO his interest
not to have any fires.
The principal speaker at the Dist ward club
the same night was George r. Gather, law
partner of Attorney General Clabaugh. < :
Mr. Gather then proceeded to analyze the
three candidates for mayor. OF Mr.. Supplee
he said that he had no word to say against his
Republicanism or his loyalty, nor his right to
aspire to the office, but there was one who
was nearer and dearer to the hearts of the
people than he. Of Mr.. Marburg he SAID he
did not doubt that he was gentleman and
scholar, and Republican, although he had
never heard of his taking any part in a politi-
cal meeting. The party don't know him, and
feel that he is walking down the middle of the
road Then Mr.. Gather spoke of Mr.. NAL
ster, and glowingly described him as faithful

a Republican and a senator, but say solemn
ly to him now that there is a line beyond
which he must not come. Who would ever
