Troops Of Deer on the Track.

Raymond Lewis, of this city, now in
Colorado, writes as follows ir letter
dated Arkansas river, Colorado, Febru
ary II: "In former letter | bad in
ended to give you description of Trout
Creek. The falls of the creek in the
mouth of the canyon are about 70 feet
nigh, and look grand. But what wond-
er at most is now the big trout get out
of the river and up over the falls into
Trout Creek, as the largest Of them are
in the creek above the falls. Can 1t be
that they swim the falls? The river
contains some that would surprise some
Of the trout fishers in Reading. They
could not take them with minnow rods,
as they do the common trout of Berks
county. There are some few soft fish
in Tile river, but the fishermen here
take only trout from one pound up
nothing smaller. So fishing in the river
would suit you, and | wish you were
here to see some of the game. Why
only yesterday l saw about twenty
buck-tailed deer run across the track
ahead of the engine, and the like hap

FREEMAN, the Pocasset fanatic, will
be brought before the supreme court
of Massachusetts next Wednesday on
the question of his sanity. When he
was arraigned before, his counsel raised
the point that he was then insane and
not capable of pleading or assisting In
the conduct of his defense, and after the
hearing ne was committed to the in
sane asylum. The government now
claims that he is sane, and if the court
is convinced of that he will be called
upon to plead to the Indictment of
murder. The defense in the trial, if the
case comes to trial, will be that Free
man was insane when he sacrificed his
child in the name of religion.

THE outlook is not favorable for a
peaceful settlement of the difficulty
between Russia and China. and the lat
ter government is making hurried and
extensive military preparations, such
as the purchase of war munitions, the
drilling of troops, and the reorganiza

Europeans continually increases in in

sudden outbreak against foreigners in

opens a WIDE door o haSty inconSdeI ate and

of late this practice has been reSorted to by all
political parties when clothed with power it
after the adoption Of the Constitution; and it
is confidently believed; ir is condemned by the
hghrened judgment of the country. The states
which have adopted new constitutions during
the last quarter of century, have generally pro.
them them oohfn,e have enacted enacted that no Law
which shall be plainly expressed in ITS title. The
constitutions of more than half the states
contain substantially this provision or some other
of like me ming. The public welfare will be
promoted in many ways by return TO the early
practice of the government and to true legiSla-
rion which is that every measure should stand
upon It's own merit. am firmly convinced that
appropriation bills ought not 10 cont In any leg
iSlation not relevant to the expenditure of money
thereby appropriated, and that by strict adher-
ance to this principle, an important and much
needed reform win be accomplished. Placing
my objection to the bill on this feature,

We thoroughly agree with the Vim
