horror. The street from the race track

A HOUSING FOX.
Reynard Shows His Skill and Appre-
citation of Gentle Treatment.

The following account of the effects of
environment comes from a land owner
in Silesia, and should prove interesting to
all lovers of the animal world.
One of the keepers. says the Pail Mall
Gazette. came on litter of young foxes,
each about the size of a haIf-grown cat
There were eleven of them, and ten were
quickly disposed of in the neighborhood.
The eleventh, however, was delicate. He
seemed to have had a blow across the
loins in babyhOod and was but a sickly
fellow. His condition awakened sympathy
in the household and he was taken in and
nursed and petted into robust health.
But care and gentle treatment are now
showing their effect not only on young
Reynard's physique, but on his general
behavior and the view he takes of things
Before all others he loves his master and
mistress. Next to them, he esteems the
house dog. In fact, should a pack now
come across his way Foxy would probably
show delight and an inclination to take
each on for game. Brushed and combed
Il is his pride to show himself in the
drawing room when requested, or to ac-
company his mistress on her walk
A few weeks ago he was missed, and ii
was found that he had gone to pay his
devoirs alone at house where he had
been petted, getting no further, however.
Fortunately scratching. Nor is it all take
on his part and no return. He has become
a very expert mouser. BY day, however.
he loves best to recline before the kitchen
fire on a little old rug.

OLD TIME PUNISHMENTS.
Cold Water for Swearing and Ear
Clipping for Hog Thieves.
LYOuth-s LOmpaniOnl }

To punish a child in such a way that it
will see the direct connection between the
correction and the fault is one of the
precepts OF modern education The nudge
OF the eighteenth century was not worried
by such psychological theories. but his de-
cisiOns often had the grim humor of fit
ness. What could be better for the scoId
than a cooling plunge or for the wife
beater than a few lashes on his own

book on "Punishments of Bygone Days,

sentences of the colonial court

men were set at chOpping trees their
hands were sorely blistered by the AK
helves. With the cries of pain many oaths
were heard. The president of the com
pany soon put a stop to the swearing nv

In colonial days hog stealing was con-
sidered one of the most serious crimes
At the first offense the thief's ears were
slit, at the second his ears were nailed

or kind
] How is this condition to be remedied {?
/ Nothing could be simpler: if the men
and women Of Salt Lake took the mat
ter in hand they could compel a decent
regard for the simple rules of political
warfare within thirty days. If they
were to let the publishers and editors
of offending newspapers know how
their readers feel about such profitless,
offensive and destructive Journalism,
the attitude of those newspapers would
be modified Immediately. 1t would
mean no boycott, no stoppage of sub
scriptiOns or assault on a newspapers
accommodating but the concession
any newspaper makes to frank state
ment Of its constituents sentiments
when those sentiments are known and
understood.
If the publishers Of salt Lakes news
papers could discover for themselves
exactly how their readers regard the
situation, there would be an end of the
policy which has made three of them
obnoxious to large part of the COM
munity, even though each newspaper
represents in a measure the convictions
Of its own constituency. The method,
not the principle involved. is the point
Of objection; and for the good of the
city, that method ought to be changed
and the public ought to see that it is
changed.

Says the Louisville Courier-Journal,
speaking of a recent dramatic appear
ance of Robert Fitzsimmons in that
city: THE audience could not bring it,
self to believe that the grand appearing
person was the real 'Fitz' until
the quality Of his acting brought con-
vincing proof of his identity" Now
you are at perfect liberty to guess
whether the writer meant to boost"
the pugilist or to knock" him. We
are inclined to believe that "Fitz" will
do some guessing over it, too.

AN UNFORTUNATE SUGGESTION.

Leslie's Weekly of recent date COM
ments adversely on the proposition TO
elect presidents by direct popular vote.
1t says, among other things. that
| Hayes would have been beaten in 1876
if this method had prevailed. and Har-
rison would have been defeated in 1888.
! This is quite true, but we fail to find
in them an argument against the abol-
| ishment of the electoral college. The
people are surely entitled TO any presi-
dent they may cast a majority of their
votes for. This would not otherwise
be free republic.
"Leslie's Weekly continues:
THE states like Texas, Louisiana,
Virginia, and most of the others in
their region. in which the counting is
slow, would be tempted to keep back
the returns and doctor them in such
a way as to give their side a majority
in the national tally. whether it was
entitled to a majority or not. There
would be a powerful incentive for
fraud"
The suggestion is unfortunate be-
cause it reacts upon any reputation
for fairness the Weekly may have had
1t is unfortunate, too, because there
are plenty of people who remember
that the Republicans stole Louisiana
and Florida, after they had been clear
ly carried by Tilden, in order to turn
their electoral votes into the HAYES
column. This fact is now admitted by
most Republicans who are fair. And
it was tacitly admitted years ago, when
Hayes failed of a denomination and
died not a great while later in the
greatest Obscurity that has ever en-
velOped a retired chief magistrate of
the United States.
Why did the Weekly mention only
Democratic states in its list of COM
mOnwealths in which frauds might be
committed? Not one of those states
has achieved a 1.-THE of the unsavory
regulations that envelOp some of the
ally every election that has been held
in Pennsylvania in the last quarter of
a century mas reeked with all that is
rotten and vile and fraudulent in poll
tics. Since the Republicans of Colo
RADIO robbed the Democrats of d fairly
earned victory that state, politically,
has been putrid. Addicks-controlIed
Delaware is another Republican state
that might not hesitate to commit
frauds in a presidential election. Ohio
is another. Even the great state of
New York is not above suspicion.
The Weekly Injuries the cause it
would support when it ventures such
suggestions as the one we have quoted.
