Complains About Treatment of
the Dumb Animals.
THE IMMODEST DRESS
AssaiIs the Women for the Pre-
vailing Fashions.
Her Manager Had Nothing to Do
With Her Actions.

for myself what the ultra fashionable OF
New York city do to while away their
time. l saw only a beginning, as 1 left
and was compelled to leave about p.
m. l was panied to see the noble friend
and servant of man, the horse, so cruel
1y treated by the check rein which pre-
vents the natural. graceful and easy
turn of their necks. causing them 10
fret and move uneasily because of the
torture. Then to see these noble dumb
animals with the useful and beautiful
tails God gave them barbarously
chopped off within six inches of their
bodies. will not some humane person or
persons demonstrate in some effective
way to prevent such treatment to these
animals that are worthy of the best
treatment? They give us their lifetime
service, and all we can give them by
way Of compensation is kind words. acts,
food and shelter
l saw also samples of the fashionable
women Just such as see in shop win

a live woman: that is. she talks and
walks as well as poses. Q woman, now
far you fall when you thus use your
bodies and time to make spectacle OF
yourself for the vulgar gaze of the
world God said that we must hate the
gar ments spotted with the flesh; SAID
that women must not dress in gold, sill
yer or costly array. am panied to see
such things, for in those prison houses
where women are kept for the basest
uses. we find they dress lust like the
fashionable women who go to the horse

Falstaff says / hate these things. |

snare to my sex. this vain. wicked use
of time and money, that prostitutes the

her and her children, the human family.
One gross falsehood in the New York
World is that. my manager led me on
to say and do things My manager was
not with me and positively tries to pre-
vent me from saying and doing any
thing to cause 'sHatchitation.' The rea-

that which rots the brain, rots the body
and rots the soul. but he is no worse
than the man who votes for him to be

court
NO Legislature can bargain away the
public health or public morals. The peo-
pie themselves can not do it much less
their servants. Government is organiz-
ed with q view to their preservation and
can not divest itself of power to pro-
vide for them" Stone VS.. Mississippi

morals require the discontinuance Of any

legislature can not he stayed from pro-
viding for its discontinuance by any in

THE state can not by any contract

There is no inherent right in a citizen
to thus sell intoxicating liquors by
retail; it is not a privilege of a citizen
in a state of or citizen of the United
States.

So you see the practice of these political
parties of license is anarchy, conspiracy
and treason. How long, Oh, Lord how
longi We are betrayed. This government
has become our enemies instead of being
our faithful servants. The president and
party in power has licensed this tyr int
and for money has sold out this people 5
protection and bartered away their health
and morals and their life itself. Justice
Grier said; 1T is not necessary to array
the appalling statistics of misery, pauper-
ism and crime which has their
origin the use and abuse
of ardent spirits. The police power which
is exclusively in the state is incompetent
to the correction of these great evils and
all measures of restraint or prohibition
necessary to effect that purpose are with
in the scope of the authority and if the
loss of revenue should accrue to the
United States from a diminished con-
sumption of ardent spirits, she will be
a gamer a thousand fold in the health
wealth and happiness of the people.
