Mr.. Editor:
Since the repeating rifles have become the
popular rifles for hunting, accidents by shoot
ing have greatly multiplied. During the last
few months, within few hours ride Of your
city, two men have been fatally shot, and an
other severely wounded: and all with the ex-
cuse, Il thought it was deer" Now, such
acts are nothing less than murder, and should
be dealt with accordingly. Sea captains, rail-
road conductors and telegraph operators are
liable for damages incurred by earelessness.
No person has right TO "blaze away at shak-
ing bush,with the hopes it may be game; when
st this day part of our forest but is travelled
by some person every day; and also prompted
by the idea, that il he misses he has another
charge only second behind. But few men
in this section have travelled the woods of
Maine at hunting more than myself, and
never saw any need of installing a man for a
deer yet. We hope there will be a special
made for such carelessness.

New York Star.

NEW YORK Staf.I
There has been one circumstance at
tcndant upon the eturn Of the DEM
ocracy to power which impressed M.
Cleveland very deeply, and 10 which
he constantly refers with qualification
and pride. When, after twenty-five
years of exile, the Democratic party
was restored TO its old supremacy,
there was an apprehension That the
country would be given over to hun
CRY spnils,ncn, and public place be
made the reward of more or less dis
reputable party service. The Republi-
can organs had preached this forbid
ding doctrine. For two whole de-
cades conservative people had been
ierrorized by the grisly prospect.
Honest and patriotic men in tens of
thousands had been constrained BY
the fear that decentralization would
come in with the Democrats, and or
der and responsibility and seemliness
go out with the Republicans.
This appalling spook, conjn'ed up
by dishonest Republican zeal, has
been robbed Of its menace by Demo-
cratic moderation and patriotism. The
hungry scramble, predicted SO conf
IDENTITY and expected with such shrink
ing, has not occurred. Excluded from
office for a quarter Of q century and
maligned with bitterness sufficient TO
provoke any reprisal, the Democracy
have borne themselves with a temper
ance aud q ~self-control which have
won for them the esteem and COM
mendation Of the entire country.
There has been no rash, no %discordant
chorus Of Importantly. The Demo-
cratic masses have cordially cooper
ated with Mr.. Cleveland in his policy
