A Rsxuteous Decision

The Supreme Court OF Virginia has
rendered . very sensib BILE decision IN re-
lation To public State officers taking
part in politics, aud how far they can
70 without being deemed violstor Of
the law. The Virginia Legislature
having passed under the control Of the
Bourbons, has passed some very queer
political laws, amongst which is one de-
claring it unlawful for any Jldge,
superintendent of schools. mana ger or
employee of any asylum or Stat insti-
tuition of learning. 10 elecsioneer, parti-
cipate in politics, make political
speeches or take an active part in poll
ii al meetings.
Even trying TO induce or persuade
anyone TO vote for or against any candi-
date was prohibited, and violation OF
the law was made misdemeanor,
punishable by fine OF forfeiture Of office.
Carter NJ. Lowtham, a Superintendent
OF schools, III ado political speech in
Richmond for which he was tried aud
convicted and sentenced 10 pay a fine
OF fifty dollars, and also to forfeit his
office.
Lowtham not satisfied with this de
cision and believing the act 10 be un-
consti tutioual, carried his case 10 the
Supreme Court Of the State. This
| Court held that the statue under
which Lowtham was convicted WAS In
| violation OF the constitutional provi
sions OF the State, which guarantee,
freedom OF speech TO every citizen i
was conteuded that the Legislature ha'
the power to regulate the conduct o
public officers, and that the cons'i.u
tional prohi bitiou against abridgiug tn,
freedom OF speech applies only 10 citi

Supreme Court, however, holds hing
very differently. II says - The RICH

to any class or part of them, aud be
cause a man has been honored with Z
public trust is not just calse for hi,
political degradation.

HOW PORTLAND WAS NAMED
Tossing up a Copper to Settle a City's
Name.

San Francisco Call.
One of the earlier pioneers of Oregon
passed this city a few days ago, returning
from a trip through Southern California
The gentleman is upward of 20 years of
age, but hale and hearty, and to q Call
reporter related some interesting facts
about the early history of Portland.
The present condition of that city, the
gentleman said. surpassed in q COM
mercial and other respects the most
sanguine expectations of the first settlers.
When he went there some twenty years
ago Portland was simply a little village
containing about 800 Inhabitants. AT
that time no incorporation had been
made, and the town had no name. The
all absorbing question to the inhabitants
was what ~ call 1t. There were two
factions, and much dissension on the
question of a name. The leaders Of the
factions were respectively from Mas
sachusetts and Maine. They were two
of the original settlers, and while thu
former insisted on naming the place
after Boston, the latter was equally a
urgent In his demand that 1t should be
called Portland. There was no chanc'
for sn election on the question, and ir
fact the idea was not thought of. Thu
matters stood for a long time, the Bostor
man and the Portland man becoming en-
emies through the discussion.
Seeing that If the matter continued
much longer the place would never b
ohristened, the citizens took hold of thu
matter, and the novel plan wss decided
upon to settle the controversy and name
the metropolis of the northwest. 1t wal
to toss up a copper cent, heads or tails t.

the two leaders, and they agreed to de
eide the matter in that way. A day wal

Boston man, and the copper went Into

was one trick for Maine. The second

Fighting the Vultures of h Andes.
"The Chilian government has declared
and Is carrying on a novel war;" says
Cornelius W. Ryeraon, Of New York,
who arrived from South America recent
ly, land that Is a war Of determination
against the gigantic vulture of the Andes,
the condor. The government Issued a
proclamation last year declaring the bird
to be an enemy of the republic. Condors
haYe increased 80 rapidly in the past few
years all along the western slope of the
great mountain chair, which Is their
habitat, that they have bscome by their
foul habits a scourge that has increased
the already sufficiently unwholesome
character of the country. With the
hope of DISCRIMINATING them, or at loast
greatly decreasing their numbers. the
government, In Its proclamation, offered
a bounty of So for every condor killed.
A friend of mine who lives In Chill
wrote to me that he believed there was a
chance to make a great deal of money by
engaging In condor hunting, and as ! had
several years. experience In mountain
climbing and hunting all sorts of wild
beasts and birds, both In this and other
countries, / went down there last fall to
see what thers might be In this condor
hunting. Well, l was there five months,
and after a persistent campaign against
the cond0r with guns and traps, l made
up my mind that a man has got to be

that If the Gillian government expects
to rid itself of Its big-winged outlaw II
will have to detail every man, woman
and child In the country to take up arms
against 1t.
1.-THE hunting of condors has been 9
regular business In the Andes mountains
for many years, and the natives have
made some money at 1t, but, like all the

now the only means by which condorl
may be taken with any certainty, and
they have learned to be on the lookout
for them. There birds have the most
wonderful powers of vision and flight Of
any living creature of the air. Perched
on mountain peaks above the clouds they
watch the trails which mules and llamas
follow with their burdens thousands of
feet below them, and If an animal dies

Will be seen dropping from the clouds
like thunderbolts. Formerly the hunter
took advantage of this swooping down
upon the carcasses of dead animals by
hiding within gun shot and picking off
one or two condors before they could
rise out of range. Traps were also set
beside dead bodies Of mules and other
animals. But this can rarely be done
successfully now, so wary has the condor
become. The same wonderful eyes that
