DOGS AND DOGS.
CANNES of High and Low Degree-Do
not Shoot Them.

The dog is again before the public as
a nuisance. to abate which it is proposed
TO "turpentine" the dog and to shoot the
dog. To "turpentine" the dog is suggest
ed as the means of running it away from
the court house square. This suggestion
is inlunan and barbarous. and if prac-
ticcd would be a violation of the law
which provides punishment for cruelty
to animals, and to shoot the dog, would
endanger the lives and limbs of pedes-
trians and would be equally as barbardelS
and in opposition to law. 1t will be ad-
mitted that the dog nuisance should
be abated, but in the disposal u the dog
Of high or low degree M1ere should be
some system sanctioned by law. 1t may
be said that POISON would rid the
community of ours and ownerless dogs,
but danger turks in the poison. If it is
proposed to reduce the number q dogs,
why not adopt a policy which would be
effective and yet humane? Why not au-
thorize an official dog catcher" to catch
all dogs without the specific distinction
Of a collar with a tax tag affixed there
on? Indeed there should be required a
tax of so cents or ST for every dog in
the city limits. and the dog Dor which
no license has been paid should perish
not ''shot' or poisoned" but such dog
should be caught put in pound and kept
one, two or three days, and if its owner
should fail to claim it and pay &le taN
in the time fixed, then the dog should
be drowned or asphyNiated, killed s1u-
namely and without exposing people to
any harm from a stray shot Or poisoned
meat. The dog can be made source of
revenue at least sufficient to defray in
part the expenses essential to the CATCH
ing and killing of all dogs impounded
without dog tax tag 1t is in the power
of the city council to provide the dog
catcher and to give him authority to
kill officially all untagged dogs in the
corporate limits.

NEWMAN AND HYMAN WERE
ACQUITTED.
corporate linn

The trial of Henry Newman and Har-
ris, Hyrnan in New Orleans last week,
fer enlbezzlement resulted. as the pub
lie expected, in a verdict of acquittal;
not that the evidence was insufficient to
Justify a conviction, but that the ma
chinery of justice, as is usual in such
cases, was subordinated to the irresist-
IDLE influence of money.
These men were wealthy cotton fac
tors, who were charged with having
sold cotton at advanced prices and hay
ing accounted to their patrons at re-
duced figures, thereby defrauding them
out of thousands of dollars. The discov-
cry of the fraud was made by Colonel
Buckner, large pranter of East Car
roll. Other customers of the firm soon
found out that they also had been vic
tirnized. They demanded restitution In
order to avoid litigation and consequent
publicity, they paid Colonel Buckner
$4,000. The others were paid different
sums aggregating upward of $Iooooo
A poor devil on trial for stealing a
loaf of bread to appease the gnawing
pangs of husger of his wife and chill
dren, would have been convicted and
sent UP to serve time. But milllonaers
who have stolen more than 100000
from their too conhding customers, are
relieved from all legal responsibility. yet
we are told that the scales of justice are
evenly Observation-Disclosures Democrat.
Never mind the scales of justice nor
worry over the poor devil and the loaf
Of bread. The man who so far forgets
himself as to take loaf of bread to ap-
pease the gnawing pangs of hunger has
committed a crime which, in law, is pun
1shable by imprisonment in the pen. Jus
tlce being convinced that the man did
steal, must stand mute while the thief,
convicted, accepts the sentence with
resignation. A common thief should ex-
pect no ,c1emency whatever; even when
hungry he should not have stolen the
bread If, in a speculative mood, he had
appropriated the bread, he could not
have been guilty of a crime The ends
of justice should not be msinterpreted
or misapplied. Justice demands the con-
vction and imprisonment of the thief,
but it should be borne in mind that when
gentleman has specialized he has
committed no crime. There is a well de
fined, a positive distinction between
stealing and speculation, and therefore
the scales of justice" etc, should have
no connection with the case criticised by
the Democrat.
And in its comments in the same case
the Homer Guardian Journal says:
Newman and Hyman, cotton factors,
were acquitted in New Orleans last
week of the charge of embezzling funds
belonging to Colonel Buckner, a cotton
planter of North louisiana The Sub
stance of the charge was that the cotton
was actually sold at one price and &C
counted for at a different and less price.
the factors pocketing the difference
The defendants actually restored to COL
orlel Buckner some $4,000, and it seems
to us that the evidence clearly estab-
llshed their guilt. Such verdicts will not
increase the confidence of the country
in the commercial integrity of New Or
leans Or in the administration of justice
in that city,"
