What, however, of the dogs still in the pound, and what of those who ought to be there and are not? There are anarchist dogs he as in Chicago, and the only use they can be put to is that suggested by Dr. Pasteur— they may furnish through tribulation and death the material against their own kind of madness. And as to the animals of the smaller perstasion—the poodle boodle yelpers ? There has been no catch here, Mr. Marti ind gen- Hemen of the grand jury; but there ought to be some improvised heat and excitement in their behalf. * IS IT A GOVERNMENT? Does protection protect ? There was a lady who was so startled by a sudden summer she was bathing that she ran out of the ocean to get her rubbers, and hastily donning them, and likewise a water-proof suit, rin back again and had her swim out; and what was her irrational action in comparison with that of this government, which covers it- self with a leaky umbrella that invites sun and storm alike ? We have a government. That cannot be de- nied. It is pretty well scattered around just now, but it hasa kind of existence. Butithas no policy worth mentioning excepting that which skins the veteran in order to clothe the man who speculates in. river-and-harbor im- provements, It suffers humiliation at the hands of little Canada, and makes no appreci- able move for satisfaction or reform. _ It blus- ters and threatens little Mexico, but the Mexi- cans are not frightened and have no reason to be. It permits work on the isthmus canal to xo on without considering the propriety or necessity of taking means to prevent the foot- hold on this continent by a foreign power which will certainly mean danger by-and-bye. It has no thought with respect to the coast or any other defences, notwithstanding the earn- est and repeated advice of the distinguished statesman whose death it assumes to regret. ernor of this state. | On the whole its poficy is no policy and its ac- tion no action It is an idle, drowsy govern- | ment, and it will sleep under its umbrella un- | til awakened by a pan-electric storm of either | ballot or bayonet kind—that remains to be | determined. We need a new kind of polities, and it is not at all improbable that it will come to us in the next national campaign, if it is not forced up- on us before. TIE NEWER LIBERTY.

It is laziness on the part of the sovereign who votes. This sovereign weeps over his taxes, but he has no tears for the misrule which makes the tax He believes in the system which makes the misrule, as he should—there is no better system; but he has too much of his personal business or pleasure to | take care of to give his attention to the reformatory methods necessary to give us more honesty and less corruption. There was a man who lost the wealth of his hennery that he might have sleep, and he growled. If he had slept less and growled more in the beginning of the business he would have been more comfortable in pocket and mind. But we must have the statue to Liberty re- gardless of all that, Let it be appropri- ate to the period—that is all. Put it up with Tweed as the principal figure, and ~~ let it symbolize in its various appoint- ments the corruption that is discussed everywhere and the suppression of which is riously considered nowhere —not even by the law-makers or the law-gi Let there be a shining light to proclaim to the civilization that comes to us just what Liberty is and what superior audacity and criminality exist in her name, ‘THE EpITOR of the Event shooting with a double-barreled gun and acci- dentally shot off both barrels at once.
