Cruelty to Anlmnli
Colonel Martin resident ncir the city
of Gnlway on tlio southern border of
Connemara Ireland was probably the
first to start the worthy humanitarian
crusade against cruelty to animals The
surprised British house of lords shout
ed Insult and derision at Lord Erskine
when In 1S11 he ventured to gently
plead the cause of dumb brutes The
British house of commons would have
treated Martin in the same manner
when he Introduced his bill for the pre
vention of cruelty to animals but for
wholesome regard for his dueling repu
tation
Dick Martins act as the humani
tarian statute was known was passed
In 1822 a memorable date in the his
tory of humane legislation On June
24 1S24 Colonel Martin and a few
other benevolent Individuals met In
Loudon and formed the first societ3T for
the prevention of cruelty to animals
Forty years later the movement spread
to America In 1S0G Henry Bergh
formed the New York society

HE governor of Newclnvang re
cently notified Chinese mer
chants that they Avere liable to
punishment by death for boy
cotting American goods But the guess
has been hazarded that neither the
governor of Newchwang nor any other
Chinese official intends to execute
many Chinese merchants for refusal to
handle goods manufactured or pro
duced in the United States Over 10
000 of the leading business men of
Hongkong Shanghai Canton and oth
er Chinese cities are said to have
signed the boycott of America and all
tilings American and the boycott reso
lution carries with it a fine of 3000
for not adhering to the agreement
Were tho Chinese government to carry
out the threat of beheading all these
leading subjects of the king of heaven
it A ould have a bloody task on its
hands but of course nobody expects
it to push to such an extreme its pro
fessions of friendship for the United
Slates The boycott Avhicli lias uoav
reached a point where it is exciting
much concern among American ex
porters is a matter for Aiiich the Ce
lestial government disclaims responsi
bility The spokesman for the Chinese
sovereign says that the boycott is much
regretted by the government and that
it is all due to the guilds over which
the authorities have no control
These guilds of merchants and mem
bers of crafts are very powerful and
exist in all the large commercial cen
ters A Avriter conversant Avith ori
ental affairs tells of visiting one of
the guildhalls of Canton as tho guest
of an educated Chinese merchant ne
was astonished at the superb building
which formed the home of the guild
and at the courtesy and suavity of the
hospitality shoAvn When these guilds
inaugurate a boycott they can make it
very effective The merchants are
Avatchcd by spies and if a violation
of the agreement is reported and the
imposition of a fine does not suffice
the highbinders are called in and then
the merchant disregards the boycott
only at the risk of his life This in-
X rtr trfrrrrirfir
wtr ting fang
stitution is an old one in China Many
years ago a certain craftsman made
bold to set aside the rules laid down
by his guild when a boycott Avas in
progress To punish him 123 members
of the guild each one in turn bit the
unfortunate man as they passed out of
the guildhall To be certain that none
had failed in his duty only such Avere
allowed to go home as gaAe eAidence
by their bloody mouths of their par
ticipation in the punishment
The policy of the Chinese govern
ment from time immemorial has been
to discourage natives from leaving the
country therefore it does not take of
fense against exclusion of laborers or
coolies from the United States But
there is nothing so offensiA e to a Chi
nese gentleman as to be confounded
Avith a cooly and for this reason the
indignities to Avhich the member of
the merchant and professional class
has often been subjected in coming
to this country have stirred up a feel
ing at home Avhich can scarcely be ap
preciated in the United States The
object of the agitation is to compel
better terms for the Chinese in the new
treaty betAveen America and China
The former Chinese minister to the
United States Wu Ting Fang has
special charge of the negotiations as
to this treaty and it has been sus
pected that he Avas influential in pro
moting and directing the boycott of
American goods
Mr Wu has denied however that
the movement Aas countenanced in
any AA ay by him But he points out
th -it it is a serious and powerful move
ment and must ineAitably injure Amer
ican trade with China and the friend
ship hitherto existing betAveen the two
nations unless a neAV treaty embody
ing more fiA orable terms for China
than the old shall soon be negotiated
He suggests educational qualifications
for Chinese desiring admission to the
United States and the admission of
coolies to Hawaii and the Philippines
without such restriction
The value of American exports to
China Is about 00000000 a year By
the terms of the boycott resolution
Chinese merchants bind themselves not
to buy or use American goods to ship
in American ships or permit their chll
dren to attend American schools
