I called the pound, and tn no time, it eeemed to me, a gentleman was here, and the kittens Never a quipbie over it. but courtesy. I have no idea how the Humane foclety pulled enough wool over the eyes of the voters to cause them to Vote for the society's control of the pound, but I think that the voters showed about the least sense of any body of people I ever heard of.

Congress, possessed of arbitrary powers, could do far more damage than the courte can ever do under the present aystem, even admitting that judges may sometimes err in thelr decisions, in the opinion of ome of the people, tho perhaps not a majority of them. Judges are only human beings and not infallible, but that is true also of congressmen.
