Hard Working Swiss Doss.-An
amended law for the prevention OF
cruelty to animals, such as that which
came into force in England on New
Years day, Is much needed in Switzer-
land. Not that the Swiss as nation
are cruel to animals, one of the best
proofs Of which Is the number of sleek
cats about. For when people have
learned to be kind to cats they have
generally learned to be fairly kind to
animals in general. But, whether from
thoughtlessness or some other cause
there Is a good deal to be desired ir
the way draft dogs are treated in
Switzerland. Dogs, as every visitor to
the country must have observed, are
still employed there for drawing OF
helping to draw all kinds of light carts
Most milkmen and bakers employ dogs
when taking around milk or bread
Butchers and vegetable fruit sellers
also use them. These dogs are, o.
course, all Of strong build, but Of very
different breeds, those most commonly
employed being of the st. Bernard OF
mastiff race. On a market day the
streets of Berne are full Of them. AS a
rule they do not look i'll fed and their
harness fits them we'll. Nevertheless
it is evident that they are often hard
worked, for they may be seen lyine
stretched full length asleep on the cold
wet ground, or even on the snow, and
this, after they have been heated by
the exertion of pulling frequently
causes pneumonia or rheumatism

THE PALMETTO STATE.
As Seen by a Yankee-A State Of Per.
petuaI Irritation.

As Seen by Yankee-A State of Per-
petuaI Irritation.
South Carolina is q state Of perpet-
ual irritation, situated between Georgia
and North Carolina, and somewhere
between the Revolution and the War
Between the Sections. 1t is the fight
ing state in the Union, and is the un-
safest spot between the Atlantic and
the Pacific in which to discuss the
emancipation proclamation or to edit
a newspaper with a trenchant pen.
South Carolina Is about as big as the
front yard of a Texas cattle king. 1t
contains 10000 square miles, is shaped
like five cent cut Of pie, and has l.
500,000 people, including Republicans,
Chinese and Indians not taxed. The
population Is almost equally divided
between whites and blacks. but one
white Carolinian when he gnashes his
teeth and draws in his breath with a
low, kissing sound can make 100 col
ored residents go away in search OF
rest and a change Of climate without
waiting for the next train.
South Carolina was settled about $50
years ago, but has remained unsettled
ever since. 1t has always been noted
for it's nervous disposition and its will
lingness to rise up and smite the uni
verse on all occasions. The British
were having an easy time in the Rev.
Olution when they struck South Caro-
lima, but General Marion soon made
them look like a Republican who has
criticised General Lee in Charleston.
The state helped win the Revolution.
but threatened to take it's doll things
and go home in Jacksons administra-
ton, and in 1861 it opened the war be-
tween the sections by seeding with a
prodigious explosion. Later 1t contri-
buted Tillman to the United States
senate and has listened to the uproar-
ious results with pride ever since.
South Carolina was severely shaken by
an earthquake in 1886, but did not Sc
cede at that time.
South Carolina raises cotton, rice and
sweet potatoes, and supplies turpentine
to the world at large. 1t begins at the
Atlantic ocean in a modest way about
six feet below high water, and for
many miles inland is so moist that the
farmers keep life belts handy.
1t has many fine old towns, full of
polite and chivalrous citizens, but the
population peters out in the western
mountains, where the people eat clay
instead of ice cream and Holsters, and
empty the hookworm out Of their Sun
day shoes by pounding the soles with
stick. There are three religions in
the state-Protestant, Catholic and
State Rights. Between the Savannah
and the Pee Dee rivers John c. CAL
houn is still the greatest man in the
world and history closes in 1865.

on the seacoast, is the metropolis of

POLICE AND CRIME ALLIANCE.
New York's Puzzle Problem Gives
Great Concern.


The New York World, In despair
over what 1t believes to be the alliance
Of police and crime in the big city, Is
ready to call on the legislature to es-
tablish a state police for Greater New
York, to be directed by the governor.
This is, of course, doing violence to
the principles Of home rule, as we'll as
in the. views hitherto held by Mr.. Pull
tiers newspaper, which is now ready
to say:
Low and Mcclellan and Gaynor are
all honest men; but none Of them could
cope with the system. McAdoo and
Bingham and Waldo are all honest
men but none of them could break up
the partnership between the police and
the criminals. This partnership never
can be dissolved and never will be dis
solved until the legislature Of New
York intervenes. The system will re-
main until corrupt city police depart
ment Is legislated out Of existence and
state police is established under the
uhcSt dulhoiily VI lhC SoNCiioI
The Syracuse Post-Standard reminds
the World that a score Of years ago
the late Senator Platt stood exactly on
the ground which the New York news
paper has now reached. His insistence
that bill for q state police should go
before the legislature was one of the
reasons that led to his break with Gov.
Odell. All the New York papers then
insisted that the Platt proposition was
an indefensible violation Of the home
rule principle. The civic associations
also, sincerely seeking to break up the
conditions which are now complained
of. nevertheless tenaciously insisted
that it was the city's and not the states
problem, and that the state should
keep out. Platt held that no change
could be brought about until the police
Of New York were appointed by the
governor and made responsible to him.
1t is curious exhibit which the World
gives of what the whirligig Of time
has brought in making Joseph Pulit-
zer's hitherto thoroughly Democratic
newspaper the echo Of Thomas c.
Platt in this business.-Springfield Re-

Economy Steam.-An Irishman, just

in a large factory. The chief engineer
instructed him in his new duties, say
ing: ITO run our engine we require
165 pounds of steam; you can always
tell how much steam you have by look
ing at this gauge"
Shortly afterward the engineer no
ticed that the engine was slowing
down. Calling to the boiler room, he
inquired of Pat how much steam he
had on.
"Oi have a hundred and forty -foive
pounds, sorr," answered the new fire.
