novelty of the case of the b0okkeeper
who took more than $1,000 Of his en-
ploycrs' money In order TO give picnics
for orphans and outings for the aged,
and TO pay tor surgical operations on

his advantage.
But the charitable instinct in this case

OATH AND DOCS.

Two features Of current news appeal
strongly TO humaniiarians and santa
rians. and should also appeal 10 the com
non sense of the general public. One
is that the AGENTS Of the Society for tn"
Prevention of Cruelty TO Animals III
ono night picked up in the streets Of
this city S8G stray cats. about One-fourth
o. the number being TN Fifth avenue.
Nearly al the animals were suffering
fIOm mango or other parasitic and com
municable diseases. while many were
MANNED or starving. \ large proportion
OF them. 40 doubt, had been shut ont OF
the house and abandoned by their own
ci's. who had gone to the country for the
summer. 1t was merciful to catch and
DESTROY them. II was discreditablc
Indictment Of the inhumanity Of many
persons that there was need Of such
action.
The other news feature IS the number
of authentic reports of mad dogs and Of
persons infected by them in and near
this city. We are inclined TO think that
since January last, when there seemed
to be something almost like an epizootic
outbreak Of rabies. there have been
many more cases Of that formidable
nalady than usual In some suburban
places extraordinary measures have had
60 be adopted for its suppression. There
have been numerous deaths Of persons,
juvenile and adult, and many dog,
horses. cattle and other animals have
been destroyed all of which has caused
Il large amount Of anxiety, suffering and
expense IN addition TO bereavement.
These circumstances inevitably sug-
gcst careful consideration OF what We
may call the ethics Of the Keeping of
pets. or the fondness Of most people
for them, and perhaps for dogs above all
other creatures. there can lie no qucs-
ton. and with It there can he no quarrel
The intelligence, the amiablity, the af-
fectiOn and the power to inspire aifec-
ton which these creatures possess mark
them rs companions Of man. Yet it IS
obviously undesirable that they should

DEMOCRACY AND THE CHARTER.

So notable an organ OF Democracy as

and defended the Levy election bill, a
1'ammany Hall proposition. IS unable 10
stomach the vicious Gaynor- Murphy
charter for New York. In solemn tones
il tells The leaders Of Democracy in this
city and upstate that ii is time TO call p
halt in the scheme 10 jam the charter
through as a party measure when the
Legislature recOnvencs next month.
Four reasons are advanced 10 sustain
This conclusion. The first IS that moth
ing less than a public uprising has
occurred against the Tammany charter
and no voice save that Of an Office
holder" has defended H. Another is
that there is no immediate need of char
Ter revision; the political motive i'm re
valnpng the eflarter now is obvious,
and "tlc accusation Of ripper lcgiS-
'ldtiOn cannot successfully be with
STOOD" The "parcntasc of the char
"for is not sufficiently clear TO make
eli ever acceptable 10 the people who
'must live under it, And, fourth
and most important. passing this char
ter might result in turning over the
Assembly and county offices 10 the Re
UubicanS in the coming election.
