Kill the Fish Tou Catch.

Charles Halloek, the accomplished
editor of Forest and Stream, has a very
humane and thoughtful article on this
subject Not only because it improves
the quality and flavor of the fish, he urges
upon all anglers the duty of killing all
their fish as they catch them. Many
anglers do this, habitually; but all do
not. We subioin an extract from Mr..
Hallock's article:
As boys, we were taught that fish had
no feeling, and we believed that what
might be cruelty to dog is harmless
paStime as respects fish. But autopsy
and science have proved our belief an
error, and we discover that cOntortions
and gaspings are evidences of pain and
distress, though we assume that their
nervous system Is comparatively OF a
low order. That fishes have intelligence
and can be taught; that they have
memory; that they have discrimination
and discernment; that hey possess the
five senses, each to a great or small de
gree; that they are to a limited extent
sentient and reasoning creatures
all these have become evident.
rive sport from the prolonged appre-
tensions of the fish while hooked mot
from his bodily pain, for the mere prick
of the hook gives little, and often none
at ally, then let US handle him merci-
fully after his torment begins, and it be-
gins after he is withdrawn from his ma
tive element. If he is small, take him
around the body and considerably rap
the top of his head upon stone or the
sthwart of the boat; if large, rap his
head with heavy stick; or, what is
more genteel and to the point, pierce
the cervical column at the base of the
brain with a sharp knife. This produces
paralysis, and almost immediate death.
it leaves the corpse in a shapely and
seemly condition. Admiration OF its
unbattered beauty is added to the pleas
ure of capture, and your fish remains a
proper subject for the market or the
studio. Brother-anglers, learn to be
humane.

Newspaper wonder.


THE ADVOCATE, a Greenbaek Labor paper,
published in New York, has created marked
excitement among publishers. IT was begun
in May, 1873, as a local paper at Spring Valley,
Rockland County, and on January LIST, 1917,
removed to New York. The first issue in that
year was 43S copies, using twenty-five pounds
of white paper, postage fifty cents, while the
issue of May 22d instant was $4,000, using
near niue tons of white paper and paying 500
postage. This has been done by discreet but
bold method of advertising. The company
expect to reach a circulation OF 100000 in
1880, and propose to expend S200O0j in adyer-
Using to secure that end. 1t, during the
months of June, July, August and September,
through its Advertising Agent, e. Duncan
Sniffen, 81 and 81 Aston House, y. Y, puts its
advertisement of one columninto 8, 400 papers,
including the city dailies. If business men
would take courage and show faith in printers
ink, much could be done to dissipate hard
times by reviving business.

One WIN. E. Chandler, Of New
Hampshire, comes before the public
with q grievance. People who come
before the public with political griev-
ances, are generally regarded as luis.
ances, but as Mr.. Chandler is a member
Of the Republican National Committee,
bis grievance will receive little atten.
ton. lie is grieved that the President
does not shake the bloody shirt. H.
says the President did shake 1t during
the campaign, but that he has now
CEASED TO shake II, and he, with all tie
balance of the simon-pure, s'alwarl
breed ofRadicsls, is greatly put out at
the Presidents course. And they are
put out al o, because lhe President has
put out stalwarts in some instances.
and put in Conservative, aud Demo.
Gratis.
Now we greatly sympaIbize with
this stalwart, because we feel that the
sympathy ofa reconstructed rebei j.
gall and wormwood to one OF hi,
tribe Of individuals. When Mr..
Chandler heard that Florida had
gone Democratic, he rushed of
from his business and did all he could
to pull it back the other way. Ii Is
generally believed that he did pull the
little State through for the Republicans.
aud that he does not now get his re-
ward Is too bad, and we pause to min.
gle our tears with his Oaths. After the
United States, Europe and Africa com.
bined, conquered the cotton Stale.,
they were reconstructed in the most
spiteful manner, and The fear OF such
towards OF the solid South Is certainly
axcusable. Mr.. Chander's grievance
in this respect is well.foundcd, for we
assure him that if the South Ia ever
presented the opportunity TO settle
scores with the rn-jawed, hypo
critical fanatics of New EUglaud, she
will do ii to the last farthing. The
time is fast approaching 100, for thi,
very man that be so complains of is .
Western man, and In a few short year.
New England will 6ud that she can
control this great Empire no
longer by q disgusting assumption
Of superiority and goodness. The Wcs'
and the South have about decided that
their interest Is q mutual one, aud II
New England does not like It, she Can
greive as much about II, ss suits her
That Messrs. Lamar, Waiterson and
others secured the disenthrallmeut oI
the South after they saw they were be-
trayed by the Supreme Court, Is alike
creditable 10 their ability aud patriot
ism. aud will only add 10 the high re-
teen in which they are already held b,
the Southern people. AS Mr.. Chand
ler's complaint is an evidence Of South
ern triumph, and his grief is over th,
buried bloody shirt, the Southern peo
pie will regard II as pleasant aud inter
esting reading for the hOlidays.

We mentioned some time ago, that q
project ls on foot 10 send Gen. J. D.
Gordon, Of Georgia, to Europe on the
close Ofthe regular session OF Congress,
next Spring, for the purpose Of repre-
senting to European capitalists, who
are at loss 10 find a safe and profitable
method 10 invest boarded capital, the
advantages of developing the agricul.
tural and manufacturing opportunities
OF the South aud to show the advan-
tages Of immigration. Gen. Gordon
has viewed this proposition with favor,
and will aCcede. should the requisite
authority be vested in him by the va.
riOus corporations and municipalities
within the South. 1t Is we'll known
that European capitalists have grown
weary Of railroad and mining swim.
dies which the North and West have
been leading them with for years, and
would like TO find safer and more repu.
table investments. For some time they
have been looking towards the
South as Offering a fair field,
but no advance having been made BY
our section, DO enterprise was ad.
ventured. Gen. Gordon was thought of
as one of the most suitable representa-
tives to proceed TO Europe with the
purpose Of inviting capital and immi-
grafton. lie Is capable aud sincere,
and would undoubtedly command
earnest audiences wherever he went.
II would be well, therefore, to en-
courage this movement in a material
manner. All sections OF the South are
interested in its success, aud would
benefit By the contamination. The at.
tention Of the boards OF trade, cham.
bers Of commerce and cotton ex.
changes Of the South has been called to
It, and all will contribute literally 10
the betrayal OF Gen. GordOn's expenses.
Municipal governments are also ex-
pected to interest themselves, and 10
not only furnish authority OF represents
