facts lead to the conclusion that our game
and lsh laws are either very defective in
protecting game and fish, or are not en-
forced as they should be by the proper
oluclalS or by those who are interested in
their preservation, The government of the
United States thinks it of enough impor-
lance To the people of the whole country to
propagate fish and supply all the streams
and ponds with the best varieties known to
the world, and it should be one of the par
amount duties of our Legislature to see
that they are properly protected
by the most stringent laws, in order that
they may become source of food supply
lot the people, as well as pleasure to those
who are fond of INDUCING in piscatorial
sports. 1t is said that fish traps are to be
found in nearly every river in our State,
ana that SEEMING for the fnny tribe is II
common occurrence whenever the waters
will permit. Game is killed at all seasons
and the scarcity OF all kinds fully attests to
this fact. 1t is 10 hoped, if we have now
upon our statute books laws, it enforced
that viii protect game and fish, that they
Will be executed to their fullest extent, and
Il no snch laws exist, It should one of the
first acts of our cuWim5 Legislature to enact
them and thereby secure to our people n

health, but in piI1rdng pleasure and enjoy

Business was much better to-day than it
mas been 70, u week past. The weather has
Improved somewhat but it still presents
threatening appearance, which has kent
people in the country at home. The roads
remain all in very muddy condition, and
are just at that state when they are very
heavy for wagons and teams. Retail trade
however, has been good, and the wholesale

WHETHER or not the Morrill, Tariff Com
mission will be decided upon by Congress, it
is considered more than likely that Senator
Cameron's bill will pass as protection
measure. 1t takes off all internal revenue
taxation except that on highwines and dis
titled spirits, thus reducing the revenue on
last year s receipts about $40, 100000. The de-
sign is of course to make such reduction in
the internal revenue as to compel continu-
alton of high-protective duties and it is
said that the intention was at first to break
up the entire system, but the cutlery against
reducing the taxation on whisky has con-
WINGED the protectionist that it would be
prudent to adopt Senator Cameron's propo-
sition. Some of the protectionists also ad-
v9cate the passage of q funding
bill that shall extend the WINDOWS, -
while reducing the interest to 3 per cent.
The iron men, who have been in Washing
ton during the past week, advocate an in.
crease of duties on iron, Mr.. Cameron's in
ternnl revenue bill will probably be re-
ported by both the Ways and Means com
mittee OF the House and the Finance Com
mittce Of the Senate, and its chance ofpass-
ing is admitted even by leading revenue
refJrmcrs.
