FISH COMMISSIONERS.

Gov. Phelps has appointed Colonel
John Reid, of Lexington, Ex-Governor
Silas Woodson, of st. Joseph, and DR..
Steedman, of St. Louis, as the board OF
fish commissioners under the new law.
Their first duty will be to ascertain the
best place to locate the state hatchery.
Three things are absolutely necessary
to the successful operation of such an
establishment: First, A spring, or
springs, furnishing an abundant supply
of water. free from all mineral ingredi-
ents, so located as to render the water
manageable; and, second, immediate
proximity of such water to railroad
These conditions are thought to be found
in an eminent degree at the little station

Kansas City, and no doubt due consid-

MIR. Welch is corresponding with Seth

1t is the intention OF the commission to

transplant them to waters where there

The radicals, both in and out Of con-
gress. are talking about what they call
the ''heresy of state rights" This s:m-
ply means that the federal government
should not only execute the powers con-
ferred upon it by the constitution, but all
those reserved to the state by the same
instrument. According to the radical
theory, the states have no rights that
the national authorities should respect.
This Is the central despotism to which
the country is rapidly drifting under
radical rule.
