To THE EpIToH or THE SrN-Su: This
Gunda affair is a disgrace 10 New York
and thu nation. Let us start from the
standpoint that any Gagged creature Ia a
sad sight. and that the only possible eN-
cuse for caging wild creatures or contin-
ing them in any way unnaturally IL that
OF the education Of people who other
wise would not get so c!,ar an idea Of
them.
The moment that an animal or bird
il known TO be- unhappy tcxc.pt possibly
AT tn" very start IN training, when very
youngD the creature should be released
or killed II Gunda cannot be cured so
that he will be free OF his shackles In
say year At longest, all the sophis'iies
OF his epers will not avail to make
lovers of nature believe that they are not
disgracng us all.
To my mind geological garden il n
sad sad thing and II YOU tell me that
the animals therein are quite happy ! re
ply that they are not nearly so much so
as they would bc free. Such gardens may
bc necessary. hut in the name Of common
Il, cency, not to speak Of justice, do not let
a dumb creature suffer.

.tL(OIfOI AND CRIME.
Views OF the Hon. Ethan Allen Snnely
and Nr. ". II. Anderson.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUS--ST. 4
correspondent Of THE Sun attempts To
break the force of tho petitions OF the
prisoners in the Eastern penitentlary of
Pennsylvania who are asking the Legisla
ture ot Pennsylvania to pass legislation
curtalllng the sale of liquor The most
ingenious, fine spun theory collapses In
conflict with facts. The Federal census
report shows that the prohibition States
yer the country not only have less pauper-
ism and less insanity but less crime on
the average In proportion to population
than the wet states, and this notwith-
standing the fact that under "A liquor
administration Of public affairs many men
who commit offences are never caught ans
many who are caught arc never convicted
by liquor sympathizng Juries.
If liquor does not cause crime. especially
crimes of violence, why do the authorities,
both State and national, on occasions like
tho san Francisco earthquake and fire
and similar lesser catastrophes, close the
saloons?
The Hon. Ethan Allen Snively, FOR many

State Board OF Pardons stated publicly,
