A Slandered Animal.

From the Philadelphia Press.
There is a marked disposition preva-
lent among men to slander those who,
owing to the limitations fixed by nature,
cannot defend themselves. What great
injustice has been done to one member
of the animate creation, which Mrs.
SigOurney, the high-toned Connecticut
poet, used to designate euphoniously as
''the animal to whom the evangelist
alluded" or "the adjunct of every
economical household" When we would
express the strongest contempt for any
human being we call him a hog. We
say to child, 'Do not be a pig"
But how grossly do we malign these
humble and speechless, or, at least, non
articulate fellowbeings. Did you ever
know a hog to get into street car and
to deluge it with his pesticncc-br breeding
eXpectorationS so as to make it necessary
for the Board of Health to forbid him.
and in some cities to enforce the pro-
hibition with fines and Imprisonment?
Did you ever know IL hog in a street
car to sit so as to occupy two or three
times the space naturally belonging to
him? Does he require to be prohibited
from splitting on the sidewalk, where the
ladies are promenading with the trailing
dresses? Does he go to primary
meeting and take possession of all the
offices for himself and his friends?
Does he sauntcr along with his pipe in
his mouth, leaving his poor tired wife to
carry the baby on one arm and to lead
the next baby by the hand, while two or
three graduations tug at her skirts?
Did you ever know hog to stay in n
saloon on Sunday and drink all his
weeks wages, and then 20 home and
drive the children out Of doors and beat
his wife because she would not give him
her earnings?
Did you ever know a hog to murder a
fellow-creature, and then to put his
body in the reservoir which is the water
supply for a large town?
When you see a hog doing any of
these things then rcbuke him by saying
to him, "You have acquired the manners
Of those with whom you have long been
! associated. But until that time let us
not lower the porcine self-rcspcct by
calling every coarse and selfish and low
bred man a hog.

From the Wilkcsbarrc Ncwsdeuler
There isn't much doubt at the present
time, and the feeling will be materially
added to by the time the Democratic
state convention meets, that if an effort
is made to declare the seat of Mr. Harri-
will succeed. 1t was carried in the
Harrisburg convention of last year, al
though Garman and his friends made it
appear otherwise by falsifying the vote,
and Mr., Harrity will not be near so
strong at the Reading convention, to be
held August 81, as he was at the Harris
burg convention.
Mr.. Harrity has by his unwise course
in retaining membership on the national
committee, and with which body nor the
candidate of the party he had no sym
patty, alienated a large number of per
sonal friends who will not sustain or
approve of his position. The only posi-
tion OF escape open to him is to resign and
thereby avoid the afTront of being rcso-
luted ont OF the party.
We are surprised he has not done so,
for as politician he knows that it is
against all equity and right to continue
man in responsible position when his
sympathy and influence are against the
platform OF his party. Personally we
esteem Mr.. Harrty highly, but in this
matter he is altogether wrong.
