Luxurious DEATU-CAH.

The Baltimore Society Tor the Preven-
ton Of Cruelty to Animals has just pur-
chased new wagon for the use of the
city DISQUALIFICATION. more accurately
speaking. for the use of CANNES captured
by the dog-catchers. The vehicle, aside
from the cOnveniences ii may afford its
four-legged occupants. is quite an aesthe-
tic affair. and has called forth the admi-
ration of the Baltimore Herald. our con-
temporary tells us first that the wagon
is painted a Quaker green" though the
editor admits he doesn't know just what
shade Of color that is. And then, we are
informed that on each side OF the con-
veyance there is colored panel, on which
is painted a picture Of the man about to
beat a horse, while an angel of mercy
intercedes with uplifted hand. This scene,
which, we believe, is the pictorial emblom
Of the society and its noble work. ordi-
narily serves it's purpose well, but it is
hardly calculated to afford consolation to
captured dogs. They are entirely ignored
in the painting. and know-or ought to
know-that nothing will save from the
deadly gas chamber unreclaimed and I'M
licensed CANNES.
To prevent the discord which some
times prevails among dogs Of widely di-
vergent political views, the wagon has
two decks-one for the smaller captives
and the other for those whose superior
size makes them tyrannical and bossish.
The vehicle has an inside lining of zinc,
and is regarded by all save Balumores
canine population as a bowling success.
While we know that comparisons are
odious, we cannot help thinking that the
tail-waggers OF the Monumental City en-
joy peculiar advantages over the sleep
destroyers Of Richmond. Our dog-catch-
ers' cage is iickety. MISUNDERSTANDING
skeleton Of a vehicle. which appears to
have been specially designed for the pur-
pose of generating melancbolia among its
inmates. Death ought TO be desirable TO
our dogs after rice in such a vehicle.

THE CARTER CASE.

The New YORK World In noting Attor-
ney-General Griggs's statement regarding
the Carter case that nothing more can
be done in the matter until Wayne Mac
Veagh, counsel for Captain carter mas
made his argument before me- wants
10 know: "Why before me? ~
Then the World gets reminiscent. u
recalls that when Lieutenant NJ. obtained
500 under false pretences and was SEN
fenced TO dismissal, and Lieutenant y.
embezzled 81 600 and received similar
sentence. the President did not refer the
testimony and findings TO private counsel
for The government, and did not invite
and await argument from counsel for
the officers. but promptly approved the
sentences. Next the World explains why
the President did not dilly-dally In these
cases. The Heutenants. it says, were
not from Ohio. They had no senators
or other powerful politicians back OF
them. No social leaders" interceded IN
their behalf Their larcenies were petty
and they had no pull" And this cN-
pianati0n answers the Worlds query
"Mhy before me ! ne CpAui''"''9 80
the Carter case are exactly the opposite
Of those that existed IN the cases of the
two ueuteuants. Precedent has been dis
REGARDED: the President has refused to
make decision, and the Carter crime
is TO be argued before me" in the hope
that some way may be found by which
the President can avoid approving the
sentence and antagonizing the powerful
influences behind the monumental embez-
zler.
II has become the vogue to refer TO
.be mystery Of the Carter case; but
there is no mystery about It. The whole
story of the scandal is that justice meted
put TO Carter might cause his pull to
be- used against Mckinley politically.
That's as plain as a pikestan. 1t is now
me year three months, and fourteen

unanimous verdict of court-martial OF

line he has enjoyed perfect freedom and
lrawn full pay. He has been Haunting

has been said lately about the injury

the wholly unnecessary effort required

reception in New York, because he want
ed the gallant Admiral to have all the
honors Of the demonstration. Now. how

nanimity has like Bob Across courage,

stated TO a Gotham committee that
Barkis was willin', promising to be pres

concluded to take the chances OF getting
