THE CHURCH AND LABOR.

The Chicago Record has published re-
Gently large number of letters from
clerpymen and officers of labor unions on
the subject of postal savings banks. The
expressions are SO nearly unanimous on
the side of the establishment of such
banks that the Record is moved to saw ed.
itorially in its issue of September 10:
The church AMI labor unions should
always work together for the advance
meat of society and the betterment Of
conditions of those who toll
The agitation for postal savings banks
seems to furnish to the two II common
basis for action. Workingmen, as r
matter OF justice and right, demand that
the government establish places of deposit
for the protection of small savings. The
clergy of Chicago, without exception, in
SC far as the Record has been able to get
expression from them upon the subject,
give their sanction to the movement.
Surely this is Il shown" of sentiment
that must command attention. Tha :;
which is demanded by the united voice of
labor on the one hand and sanctioned
heartily by the clergy on the other Ger
tainly is worthy the serious consideration
of Congress. Probably there is no other
subject of legislative reform that can
command this united support to the ex-
tent that the agitation for postal savings
banks does. With the church and labor
in unison nothing for which the com
bined forces are WORKING should be I'M
possible of achievement. The enthusI-
assn of the clergy for postal savings
banks, as shown by the letters published
In The Record, is nearly If not quite "a

II he union of labor and the clergy for
postal savings banks Is significant for
another reason than the impetus IL will

AN INHuMANE ORDER.

In Wilmington there are many lovers
OF dogs and hundreds of the animals
have great market value apart from the
sentimental affection OF owners, which
oftimes places Uhem beyond price. The
dog is mans closest animal friend and
constitutes part of his household, and
he protects II from wantoh injury and
destruction as he would his other val
ued possessions.
II the statement made by the night
guard of Tenth Street Park that he has
orders to shoot every dog which he
finds in the water be true. It is time for
all taxpayers who are luhe owners of
thoroughbred or pet animals to agitate
the revocation OF such a heartless or
der, especially in view OF the fact that
the Board of Water Commissioners
places no fence or other obstruction be-
tween the dogs and the two ponds in
the park. Further than this, the Society
for the Prevention OF Cruelty to Ami
mails would not be acting amiss il it
were to represent to the Board OF Water
Commissioners the wanton character Of
such an order as that which the park
guard says that he has received.
We think that il would be in the in
terest Of public safety to give dogs free
access to the ponds at all times, and
particularly in hot weather. when they
are more liable to the rabies by reason
of the excessive heat, and when cool
bath might prevent an attack Of mad
ness which would end so disastrously
to persons coming in the road OF the
maddened animals.
The assumption that any injury can
befal the fish by reason of a dog going
into the water and stirring it up mo
mentarily is so foolish that it is not a
fit subject for argument.
Dogs are born with an instinct to
seek water in time of excessive heat,
and II the Board of Water Commission
ers wishes to maintain an open park
with open ponds in the heart OF a thick
ly populated section of the city il
should be liberal enough to make rules
and regulations sufficiently broad to
meet the surrounding conditions, and
10 have for guards men OF well-bal-
anced judgment, who will recognize
that the park belongs to the people, and
that the money required for its main
tenance is contributed by the people foI
The public benefits and pleasures which
may accrue therefrOm.
