with an accident while chasing game IN Yellowstone
Park And this suggests the inquiry whether visitors
are invited to the Park and furnished with expert
hunters to slaughter the animals which have made

a
willingness to die for his convictions" Mr. Elan
must feel proud that his convictions bear such SUBJ
stantal fruit, aud he may possibly want to go and
do 80 some more. There is a grim sugsestlveness

! The mutinous mariners who are attached to the
various life-saving stations OF the country nave
| abandoned their "strite0 and gone to work again.
Like other and worse-advised individuals they an
nually make a point of striking as soon as sum
mer approaches But that happens to be che season
! when the Government has the least use for them
| and the men can then better employ their time In
| fishing and boating for pleasure parties. when the
autumnal storms are about duo they return 10 duty
and coniinue to make profitable business of life
saving until winter is over. For several years past
the New-Jersey salvors about the 1st of May, have
made an excuse for Striking" by refusing to obey
regulations of the service requiring them To
| convey from point to point on the coast certain
| "checksv to provo that they have done duty IN
| patrolling But when the summer fishing and boat
ing season is over they return to Government EN-

rather cheap patriotism One honorable memoel
r.ferr,d to the fact that the Prince of Wales had
once been similarly hopored by Portland, and moi
two years afterward England had proved the enemy
of the United States Another member sarcastlcalIy
reouested the Mayor to remember that the money
sprpt in entertaining this foreigner would be made
nm from the widows mite the orphans portion
and the hard earned savings Of the poor" That
killed the Mayors attempt at courtesy, and Lore
CoIeridge will have to rub along without the oihcia
recupnition of Portland. All this is absurd enough
| There Is no particular reason why i"t'i""" Va ~"
