storm of indignant protests by holding
as matter of law that, under ordinary
circumstances there is no property
value IN cat. 1t appears that a num-
Der OF cats were killed by bulldog and
the owners of the feline pets brought
suit for damages. The Massachusetts
judge held that the cats were in the
eyes of the law, ''ferae naturae. &"
which means wild beasts, and therefore
legitimate prey to be captured and
killed by all who choose to pursue them.
He further held that the owner of a cat
could not follow it to private property.

the cat cannot have an owner, as the

A QUESTION OF BRAINS.

That the Democratic party is very de-
ticient in intelligent leadership was
again demonstrated by the attitude and
utterances of John Sharp Williams
when the Vreeland currency bill was,
debated and passed in the House of
Representatives on the 14th inst. This
bill had been indorsed in caucus by the
Republicans of the House, and the evil
dent fact that it would be passed by the
House excited the wrath of the Demo-
cratic leaders, who have been endeavor-
ing to obstruct all relief legislation sup
ported by Republicans, though pretend
ing to be earnestly in favor of such
legislation.
Mr.. Williams was very bitter in his
denunciation of the Republicans as well
as the Vreeland measure. Among the
other mean things he said he declared
that; $50 far the majority had failed
to prove that they had either brains or
patriotism enough to bring in a bill that
would improve present conditions
This was pretty rank talk from the
leader of party that has never in its
long history been able to give the coun-
try an intelligent or sound currency sys-
tenn And it was especially silly COM
ing from the lips of Mr.. Williams
whose own effort on that line was so
lacking in ability and intelligence that
ne failed to secure the support of his
own party following for the currency
bill of which he was the author. and
which was offered as a substitute for
the Vreeland bill The language which
Mr.. Williams tried to'apply to the Re-
publican majority will apply very aptly
to himself, his currency bill and the
leadership of the Democracy. When
the Williams bill was voted upon as q
substitute for the Vreeland bill only six
Democratic members had the courage
to vote for it. The Williams bill had
been pronounced by Mr.. Bryan the best
currency measure before Congress. All
the Democrats, however, voted against
the Vreeland bill, which is strong proof
that 1t is an intelligent measure.
