And what right have they to prowl over the lawns and gardens of everybody, destroying flowers, digging up sod and committing all kinds of de predations? Why have they the right of eminent domain any more than bears or any other animals ? They have no more right to trespass on tbe Btreets or to chase after and bark after horses than they have to intrude on private property. They have been tolerated just because it was customary in the earlier days. Howling, snapping, good for nothing curs are a nuisance, and the higher tbe license and more rigidly enforced, the bettor.
