IL Is a hard thing to attempt to abridge the sport of children. or that of oven older persons. yet the public have right to protection. The sidewalks and roads are for public use and travel and ought not to be used as playgrounds so as to render travelling perilous. The sidewalks are reudered dangerous by the constant passing of sleds over them. ana our town and bor- ough authorities shouli prohibit coa,ting on public highways. It properly comes under the head of obstructing travel.

The enormous and comprehensive busi- ness established tn less than three years by Msssrs. W. R. Hall < Co. seems to show that they have reached the climax in serving the public.

siderable information in regard to horse
thieves in Arkansas and Missouri. By
dint of adroit management he has In
duced member of the gang Of horse
thieves to give the whole thing away, and
the result is very astonishing, to say the
least. According to the statement, there
is a regular organized gang of horse
thieves, with headquarters in Arkansas,
south and west Missouri and southeast
Kansas. They have regular meetings,
grips, passwords and organization, the
whole cemented by most diabolical

Jolly Japan.

New York, 25 "A Tribune reporter
interviewed a gentleman who, it says, is
the highest authority in the United
States on the Japan affairs, and who said
"The anti Chinese movement on the
Pacific coast does not attract much at
tention in japan, nor is likely to do so in
the future. Japan has no psupers to send
to America, and as heretofore she will
not send any Of her people across the
Pacific except for the purpose OF acquir-
ing such wisdom or knowledge as is best
calculated to promote the prosperity and
happiness Of her people. Commerce be-
tween Japan and America can be much
increased. Mechanical and agricultural
facilities have become much the fashion
there. Two hundred snd fifty newspapers
and other journals are regularly pub
lished and supported in the empire. The
relations between Japan and China are
now as friendly as could be desired. The
standing disputes are kept up to great
extent by designing selfish men who do
not belougto either nationality.

Gallons Conkltng.

New York. 24.-The Tribune says: II
has been SAID by admirers of Conkling
that he was very proud man, and the
question arises whether bis pride was all
sham. A gentleman does not willingly
thrust himself in where he is not wanted;
even if he has no mere than ordinary
pride, he shrinks from begging, but four
ffths Of the members of the legislature
and more than tive thirds of the mem
bers ofhis own party have implied to
Conkling in the most formal and en-
phatic manner for several weeks that they
do not want him for a senator. Still he
persists in thrusting himself upon them,
keeps the legislature in session for weeks
at great cost TO the people and great
loss 10 members, in order to press his i'm
perfume demands for Office, and goes up
and down begging for votes and Begging
for mbers VINO are sick with the bust
ness, to stick to him yet a little longer,
with an utter lack of shame which does
not indicate that he has either pride or
self-respect.
