Extinction of Game.

1t is stated by Engineer Phillips Gate of
the Northern Pacific Railroad) that no
fewer than 10000 elk, antelope, and mule
deer are slaughtered every winter in Min
nesota, Montana, and Wyoming alone.
There is every prospect that three OF the
nobest game animals on the American con-
tinent will soon be extinct. Elk, which
formerly ranged from the Middle States to
the Pacific, are now never found east of the
Missouri river. Twenty-Five years ago
they were plentiful in Nebraska and Kan
sas, but civilization has driven them into
the dense and uninhabited regions OF Min
nesota and the northern Territories. The
hide hunters effect the most sweeping de-
struction. The average price Of an elk
skin is $3 The hide hunters use repeating
rifles, and frequently kill from six to twelve
elk in a herd before they get out of range.
Mr.. Phillips afirms that, besides the slaugh-
ter Of the animals named, in the year lSS,
more than $4,000 buffaloes were killed for
the traders between the Yellowstone and
the headwatsrs Of the Little Missouri.

The Farmers Tribune says: The having
harvest will soon be here, and before that
time comes we wish to SAY word or two
in regard to when it is best to cut the grass.
Our own experience is that it is best 10 put
the mower into the grass when it is in full
bloom. We have reference to timothy and
clover. We believe the relative nutritious
ness OF hav, that is while Towering, is in
excess Of that cut before or after that period.
We know tnat stock are more fond of nav
when it is cut earl y than when it is cut late.
We know, too, that stock fed on early cut
hay during the winter will come out in the
spring time in good deal better condition,
than when wntered on late hav. We know
the>,. things bv personal experience. Hay
that is cut while in bloom is more bulky.
and cattle will require more fit than late
cut hay

and tested all that any work is done on.
and can say there is fine gold in all the
sand and gravel that tried. The locality
is the >outh. channel Of Boise river which
at some period ran through what is now
known as Dixie slough. The gold is found
for distance of twelve miles in tia. Old
river bed. The character Of the gold is
different from that of Snake river. This is
a tlat scale gold, while that of Snake river
is fine -four gold. The locations will all be

The Inalienable Right to "BOlt."

The \. Y. SIN rather praises the Re-
publicans who declare for the inalienable
right to bolt, and adds: "On what prin-
cpIc OF political action is it right tor Geo.
Vim. Curtis to bolt, and wrong for John
Kelley" In another article the S"~ shows
b, figures that while New York is not in
o>pen>able to the Republicans, it is indis-
pensable to the Democrats. They cannot
get along without it, and the great ques-
ton for them to consider is how to carry
New York. The question then, Is, with
"ha, sort of platform and what candidate
can the Democracy be sure Of carving New
ork and the other doubtful States"

We have profound respect for the mo-

MS they, we too, aim at prohibition. But.
as Jerimiah Mason used to say, let us
Estate few pinls."
Even ii 81. John should be elected, and
should propose temperance legislation to
Congress, what could that body effect !?
The Legislatures of the states and terri
tories have almost exclusive control of Il, .
matter. To enable Congress to act, an
amendment to the Constitution must be
frs, passed by Congress and then endorsed
by two. thirds Of the states. But state
which had taken suci action would lie
ready and able 10 deal with the drink evil
within it's own bounds. And as IT could
adopt legislation TO Its own citizens, j.
would be fur more likely to do 1t with
effect. TX not the state, therefore, rather
than the nation, the true battlefield OF this
good cause?
Not only would an amendment to the
Constitution be required, hut there IS sm al II
hope that Congress would give us as string
ent laws AZ the states.
Moreover, the Nationsl Legislature in
dealing with any moral reform is notori-
ously slow and weak. Witness its course
with Utah polyGamy. We believe thai
even Senators and Representatives elestee
ON Prohibition platform would woefully
disappoint their commitments. The tenn
perance worker, Mr.. Francis Marphy, savs
we noltce. that the organization of a thir'
