OPPOSED CRUELTY
Hearing on the Bill Regulating
Vivisection.
ARGUMENTS OF THOSE IN IT'S FAVOR
Does Not Stop the Practice, but
Regulates It,
VIEWS OF PLY SICIANS

The subcommittee on the anti-vivisection
of Columbia gave a hearing this morning
to persons interested in the question of yiv1-
section in the District. Mr.. tiallinger, chair
man of the subcommittee, presided, Mr.
Pritchard and Mr.. Kenney being present.
There was large gathering of those who
were Interested on both sides of the oues-
ton, many eminent physicians from all
parts of the country being present to de-
fend the principles of vivisection in the in
terest of science, while those who oppose
that method of gaining medical knowledge
were fully represented. Many ladies were
present.
Mr. R. Ross Perry was the first speaker
as the advocate of those opposed to vivi-
section and in favor of the pending bill
Mr.. Perry said that the physician was the
only member of society who could legally
practice cruelty. No man was so high in
state or church as to be permitted to COM
init cruelty without power of the law to
interfere with his course. Even the mother
would be prevented by law from any cruel-
ty toward her child If such case should
be found. He could not understand how a
section had crept into the statutes of the
District of Columbia whereby one class of
citizens was exempt from the law prevent
ing cruelty, and yet those opposed to the
cruelty of vivisection were tainted with be-
ing emotional. When a people reaches a
COnd1tlOn tnal emOtOnS Will not be excited
when the natural instincts of the race are
violated, then. he thought, the country
would be in distre ssing condition.
There had been as much scarlet fever and
dphtheria in this city as ever during the
last winter. Smallpox had cropped out
though not heard of for years. Brain and
nervous diseases were increasing every
year. While the doctors may learn how the
brain acts the diseases that affect US will
be always with us, he said, and the doc
tors are as impotent to control these dis
eases as are the Chinese, who sit down
and howl, trying to brighten out the demon
of disease

Appeal for the Dumb Brutes.

Mr.. Perry made pathetic appeal for
the proper treatment Of dumb brutes, and
said that doctors had become dulled to
natural instincts by their professional
training, as he had known lawyers defy
ing Justice had become so dulled to JUS
tice that they could not recognize it, If
dumb animals were to be cut up alive he
said, the time would come when criminals
and idiots would be so treated and then
paupers would be so used.

Merely Prevented Abuse of vivisectio,

Or. David II. Cochran late president of
the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn,
trustee of Hamilton College and president
of the American Society for the Regulation
of Nivsectfon, said the pending bill merely
guarded vivisection against abuse He said
those who opposed the bill had favored re-
stricting the practice of medicine within
the hands of those qualified for such prac-
tice. This had elevated the profession of
medicine and surgery, and he could not I'M
derstand why any one should oppose apply
ing the same principles to vivisection.
1t had been declared that there is no yfyi-
section in the schools of New York and
that any anu-vivisection bill was I'M
necessary there, but he said it was false
Cornell University has it's cat farm for this
purpose. The idea that everyth thing should
be demonstrated had become so prevalent
that vivisection has been resorted to in
numerous cases. There had grown I'D a.
practice of verifying experiments Of others
through vivsection. and these experiments
We're made in pubic schools of New York
state He was sorry to say that the ladies
were the most persistent of these expert
mentists, and they seemed to think that
1t was mannish to do So
Or. Cochran gave instances to show that
experiments on animals are not verified
when the same experiments are made on
men: He said that no truly scientific man
would have any difficulty in practicing vivi-
section by the bill pending before Con-
gress.
He made an appeal against allowing vivi-
section in the public schools. If the teacher
is coarse and brutal and insensible to Suf-
fering the child will be Influenced toward
the same practices and made dull to feel
lngs OF humanity
Not an 'Anti-VivisectiOn" Bill.
Mr. Kennedy, one of the vice presidents
OF the Humane Society of the District of
Columbia, was the next speaker, He said
the pending bill had been called an anti
vIvisection" bill. and spoken Of as prohibit
Ing v1visection. The fact, he said, was that
the bill legalizes vivisection and says that
no one shall perform these delicate and
painful operations without a certificate
from college, or others showing that he is
qualified to perform such operations. The
kill provides that these experiments shall
be reported. and he thought that would be
in the real interest Of science. He was op-
posed to all vivisection but the bill did not
oppose it, as is SO often represented. He
said that the leading viyisectionists of the
world had confessed, some that 1t has limi-
tations, and others that 1t had been false
light that instead of helping hinders hui
mantty. These experiments, he said, are
demoralizing, and too high g. price Is paid
for whatever benefit Is secured through
vivisection. Scientists. who were them
selves vivisectionists. had testified before a
tendency among young men to experiment
unnecessarily, and to verify things which
they should accept without such expert
ment.
At u o'clock the hearing was adjourned
until 1:30 o'clock.

DR.. Woods In Opposition.


Dr. Matthew Woods of Philadelphia spoke
at some length on vivisection and opposed
it If vivisectionists are right he wanted
to know why they objected to investiga ton.
Those who supported the pending bill did
not want to do more than to prevent
cruelty. The prevention of vivisection would
not even stop the development of ply
siology, for that science had made its most
rapid progress aside from vivisection. He
said the pending bill had been approved by
the late DR.. VIM. A. Hammond. He spoke
of various serums that had been placed
before the world with large claims of vir-
tue, but which finally proved useless, and
these serums had been the products OF
distinguished vivisectionists. DR.. Woods
ihstanced a number of cruel experiments
on dogs and other animals in the interest,
as was said of science.
DR.. Woods said that brain surgery prom
ised more than any other branch of medical
science through rivisection on the lower
animals 1t had been demonstrated that
monkeys. pigs. &c, would live when part
OF their brain was taken out, but when the
same operation was tried on men the latter
died. With all their vivisection on animals
a tumor could not be located outside of the
motor centers of the brain. and that know
edge had been gained without the aid of
Vivisection

The city Of Syracuse, n. y, is ex-
perlencing milk famine, the result OF
the refusal Of the dairymen TO submit
their COWS 10 the tuberculin test, and
the refusal OF the board OF health and
the city clerk to grant licences TO sell
milk In the city without test. says a
correspondent Of Rural New Yorker.
All licenses expired on April &c. and
warning was given by the police that
no milk should be sold after that day
without a license There was nothing
to do but submit and the dairymen
have gone out of business, Almost to
man they have stood together to resist
what they consider an unjust require
ment. The grounds Of their protest are
these:
First. they declare that the tubercu-
lin test has not been an accurate indl-
Gator OF health or disease, Whatever

tested IN the town OF Manlius, and four
animals were tagged as tuberculous,

The dairymen consented 90 accept the
test on all cows which were not sub

was rejected. The claim Is also put
forth that the tuberculin injection has
injured the health and certainly the
productiveness OF the COWS. In this
declaration there rs almost universal

speeches endorsing and pointing out the
satisfactory workings OF the new finan-
cial bill are being sent out. The DEM
ocrats are sending out speeches made
by Republican senators and representa-

WILL NOT DRAW LINES.
The sending out Of campaign litera-
ture at this time will not shape the
Issues nor draw the party lines for
the November election. There may be
nothing in the campaign other than
those subjects / have mentioned and
yet there may be a contest upon new
lines. Four years ago preparations
were made long In advance for cam
paign on the turlff issue. The very
fact that Mckinley. the apostle Of pro-
lection, the author OF the Mckinley
law was 10 be the nominee seemed
10 indicate that the campaign was 70

the first plank In the platform and
other issues subordinated, It was not.
II is true that the Democrats made the
issue. II was the Chicago platform
and Bryan that made 16 to the slogan
OF that party and forced the Republic
ans to accept the issue their opponents
chose. II may be that in this cam
paign there will be a similar abandon
ment Of the old issues and something
new brought out. II would not be
strange II Expansion" and "antieX-
panslon" would take the place OF
the tariff OF four years ago.

FOR campaign purposes only, devoted
largely 10 the tariff, but only few.
Representative Lacey Of Iowa printed
speech in the Record, occupying much
space. which gave in great detail COM
'parison Of conditions now and condl-
tions four years ago. The business and
commercial conditions under the last
four years OF Democratic rule were
compared with the four years Of Re-
publican rule. The tariff was made 70

for the change. There was no doubt
about the object OF the speech. It was

shire followed a few days after with a
speech In the Senate, TO which few
senators listened but which was dis
sertation on the benefits Of a tarin. and
especially the present tariff as against
the tariff Of 1894 Besides these speech
es prepared especially for campaign

have yet observed for taking the hand
ling OF these animal diseases right out

II Is a species Of tyranny which every
self respecting American should de-
nounce. As a rule the local board OF
health is an organization In when
brains and common sense are boarded
up and nailed down. We understand
that the board OF health win shut their
eyes when grocers send out INTO the
country after milk
