SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE |

Is brutality q natural tendency
The late Henry Bergh was u very
dear friend Of mine, knew him well
in the early days OF his Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals,
aud many time have ! seen him,
when the snow was up to his knees
aud the wild winds hurricaued about
his queerly. shape | head aud figure,
~ he halted n four. horse team that
struggled to the EXTREMIST tension OF
nerve aud muscle with u tremendous
overload. When he started his
crusade against cruelty to ami.
mails, he devoted greater part OF
his energy and time to the treatment
of horses. 1t would make his hear.
ache Ii he were here today. There
are thousands Of lads, under lG years
OF age, who beat aud kick aud jab and
gallop ut breakneck sp ed through
our streets the emaciated, knitting
needle nags that draw our butchers
carts, delivery wagons and journalistic
media between publication room and
dealers newstands. l often watch
these wretches as they make passage
across Park row hazard to life and
limb. On the asphalted miles OF this
great city this special cruelty to ami
mails is a continuous performance
The "races" are spirited, and not a
"dulr' minute from start to finish.
Just now our chief officials are very
much in town and they find it any.
thing but "dull." The rumpus made
by the dailies. in their fight against
Mayor Van Wyck and several Of the
leading Tammany men said to be in
the ice trust, recalls vividly the other
rumpns that convulsed the city in the
Tweed days. Big type was unknown
in Journalism" then, but double.
loaded leaders were in fashion, and
were utilize in the paper warfare at
a great rate. 1t is sad to think that
the one and only absolute result OF
that fight against Tweed was to turn
one gang out and let another gang in.
Not one OF the chief accuse ever was
convicted of anything. Connolly, the
controller, ran away an died abroad.
Cakey Hall was indicated by cour:
aud jury. Sweeney was pronounced
guilty in all respects, and like q
genuine brother paid up a deficiency
found in the accounts Of his brother
"Jim," 70. which he was no more
liable than you or I. don't know how
this ice fight will end. At present it
is reduced to silly contest between
two dailies, each claiming all the
honor.
