Gently roamed through the lower New River
section of this parish Strengthening horses,
cattle and hogs for the qualification of his
robust appetite:
Your informant regarding the.slaying
of the tiger is decidedly mixed in his YER
sion. The killing, in a way, was accidental,
as the hunters at the time were in search Of
fact, were not cognizant of being in the vi
cinity of the beast until it was freed by one
of MIR. Martins hounds, magnificent ami
NAL. On4hearing the barking of the dog,
Messrs. John Walker and Allen Martin
fastened to the spot and there standing
not crouching, as would be supposed-in a
tree about thirty feet high, with fore paws
resting on one limb and hind ones on an
other, with neck stretched, intently watch
ing the manmuvres of the dog, was the long
sought for beast.
1.-TWO we'll directed volleys fred by the
hunters brought the animal to the ground.
The dogs sprang upon him but we're re-
pulsed, one being knocked distance of
twelve feet, but not killed as was reported.
The beast regainsd his feet and was making
for the cane when the hunters each again
shot the animal, causing death. On exam
ination he was discovered to be an Ameri-
can tiger, measuring feet, 10 inches in
length, feet high, and weighed $50 pounds.
The trail was only two miles from the farm
of Mr.. VIM. Graves where the night prior
the tiger had killed horse and colt. The
beast was carnivorous in the extreme, pos
sessed an Unsuitable appetite and made sad
havoc among stock on New River and its
vicinity. Its death has been q great relief
to the inhabitants.'

THERE has been much criticism in Eng.
land OF the conduct OF Naval Constructors
White and Armstrong and Cain selling the
plans of war vessels TO the American gov
ernment. 1t is said that Mr.. Whites skill in
the naval construction was the property of
the English government, having been
acquired while in the admiralty office and
that he had no right to sell 1t. The Broad
ArToac, an English paper regarded as an
oracle in such matters, benevoently says
If any navy but our own is to be benefited
by MIR. Whites skill, experience, and accu.
mulsted data, why let it be that of our
American cousins, by all means. We have
long considered it an international mistor
tune that the United States have so long
neglected their navy, and we are strongly o
opinion that an addition to their nsva
strength is most desirable in the interests Of
civilization.

Judge Brown, of the United states court,
has rendered a decision ON the "assis'eo-
immigration law" points raised ny tne ue
PENDANTS in a case Con trial at Detroi', III CON
nectiou with the importation oi snip ctpen-
ters from Quebec during strike last spring.
A dispatch from Detroit says; 'ln an
elaborate opinion the court overrules all the
points raised by the defendant The act in
question declares that for any violation OF
it's provisions the person, Partnership, com.
pany or corporation violating the same hy
knowingly assisting, encouraging or solicit
ing the Immigration or importation OF any
alien or foreigner into the United States to
perform lsbor or service OF any Kind under
CONTRACT express or implied, shall forfeit
and pay for every such otiense the sum of
$1,000 The contention of the prosecu-
ton Is that the act Is valid exercise
of the power OF Congress to regulate COM
merce with foreign nations The defendant
claimed that this act Is not valid exercise OF
the power of regulating commerce, inasmuch
rs it forbids the encouragement and solicita-
tion OF an act which still continues to be
perfectly lawful in itself, viz, the immigra-
ton of alien lsborers The court declined to
take this view of the case, and held that II
Congress has the power to regulate commerce
it is difficult to conceive why Congress may
not inhibit the Immigration OF any class OF
persons which may seem TO 1t undesirable
additions TO the population of the country
Repeated instances of this kind of legislation
are to toe found in the revised statutes and,
so far as is known, none OF them have
been challenged as beyond a constitutional
power of Congress- But conceding that
the contract only is illegal and void,
and the immigration lawful, there Is no
principle which forbids Congress from de-
claring that a certain method of procuring
the immigration of foreigners shall lie un-
lawful. and ispusing punishment upon
those who adopt that method. The decision
then answers the objection that Congress
has no power to punish Crsig's act, as il was
done in a foreign country. The court decides
that the law is against the assisting, en-.
coursging, or soliciting aliens 10 migrate"
and not to the contract with them. The
immigration must actually occur, however,
or there is no otense. Soliciting immigrs
tiou without success would not be an otiense.
Even If the cause OF action accrued wholly
on foreign soil the action could be maintained
| If the defendant was found in the district, as
| it is civil action to recover penalty or debt
| In such cases the sction may be brought
| wherever the defendant is found. The con
| clusion reached is that the court has Iurisdic
| ton and the demurrer is oyerruled.

new phase Of the hateful store order

Mm been presented in the question whether
oenct they are taxable as circulating me-
0lnm. This brings the issue so plainly be-
1nee the people that all may clearly under
61nnd It. If the coupons that are issued at
B1aver's Bellefonte nail works are as good
~ cash and pass as such, they are circu-
nting medium, and are subject to the 10
srr cent. tax imposed by the government

~ that it isa private arrangement between
empaoyer and employe. The logical Sc
quence, therefore, is that these coupons are
not equivalent to cash, but are restraint
upOn the holder to purchase at one particu-
n store.
This Is just the Democratic position on
th0 subject. No man would part with a
dine in exchange for one of Beavers ten

The United States and Spain.

BY agreement with Spain in March OF
1884 the products of the United States and
articles from the United States were TO be
admitted to Cuba and Porto Rico free from
discriminating duties, and in return a like
privilege was to be accorded to cargoes
from those islands entering American ports
under the Spanish flag.
When making this agreement Spain
had hoped that the treaty then under con-
alteration by the United States government
would be ratified, and on the rejection of
the treaty by the Senate, she endeavored to
ignore the commercial agreement. Through
persistent and tireless effort she was COM
pclled to fulfill the contract to the extent
ct posting notices in the ports of the two
jalands, but it was well understood that
thNse were mere words, which the govern
ment was not anxious to see enforced.
The officers of the crown at the ports in
question retain their salaries from the GUS
IfQm1 dues collected, and of course they COL
lect as much as they can so that in return
fOragif to Spain of lessened tariff, amount
ing to many thousands of dollars, we have
received nothing whatever but promises.
The treaties made by President Arthur
In the last days of his administration
granted 30 many fayors to foreigners in ex-
change for so few, that their rejection by
the Senate has always been regarded by
heablest men of all parties as wise policy.
The conduct of Spain in the matter of this
agreement" is evidence that she consid-
cred the treaty 80 favorable to herself that
she was willing to make the agreement as
part of the price of securing it.
Having been overreached in diplomacy
by the Senate, after having triumphed over
state department and president, the only
course open to Spain in order to escape
from the agreement was to ignore the prom
ises made in that document and let il
stand against her as monumental lie.
But Spanish diplomacy is noted for deceit,
and our dealings with her from the time
young John Quincy Adams won his diplo,
matte laurels down to this latest incident
tell Of one long record of treachery and
deceit.
The presidents proclamation amount!
virtually to declaration that having
traded our promise forlthe promise of Spair
and the word of Spain having proved
worthless, the trade is void.

Rose Cleveland TO American writers.

"Let American writers abandon unworthy y
motives let them sink forever that corroding
jealousy and selishness which corrupts the
brain as much as it does the heart, which de.
files literature as much as it does life +; let
them set their faces resolutely in the drec-
ton OF the good quality rs their goal, rather
than the great quantity; let them cease to
pile Pelion of words on an Ossa of words
let them sink this hydra verbusity in the

hurry, and then will the seeds Of a future OF
literature in America be planted, the Charac-

UNTIL the announcement OF Austria that
Russia would not be permitted to act as she
pleased in Bulgaria there was good reason to
believe that no matter how unjust or tyrsn-
nicsl she might be Russia would have her
own way in that principality. That an
nouncement was the turning point and the
progress of events has so clearly demon
strated the enmity of Bulgsrians TO Russia
and their devotion to Prince Alexander that
there seems to be only one course open to
the czar-the armed occupation of Bulgaria
This means war. If this course is not fol-
lowed the Sobranje will be left as the actual
ruler of the country, and il the other powers
do not interfere they will undoubtedly re-
elect Prince Alexander.

GERONIMO is one of natures diplomats
When Lieutenant Gstewood had forced him
to parley by walking straight into his camp
alone and laying down his arms, the first
question that he ask ed was about the personal
appearance of the chief who wanted him to
surrender. Has General Miles "a bright
eye or dull one?" That WAS All all impor-
tant point, for the savage we'll knew that a
man with a dull eye would not think of cost or
consequences, but stubbornly catch him and
hang him If he could while a man with a
bright eye is man who has a mind of his
own and will TO follow it. He also wanted
TO know whether Miles talked much. These
were leading questions to help him to deter
mine the character of the man he had to deal
with, and knowing that he richly deserved
hanging, he wished to get as good key to the
character of the one who would hold his life
in his hands, as was possible before surren-
dering. Miles recommendation that the
chiefs life be spared shows that he was rightly
estimated, but TO the Apaches the exile may
appear as terrible as death.

Further sdvices have been received 10y the
state department touching the action of the
Canadian authorities in hauling down the
American flag on the schooner Marion
Grimes. The facts as officially stated are
that the anniversary of the birthday of the
captain OF the Grimes occurred while his
vessel was in the custody OF the Canadian
official, and he celebrated that event by hoist.
ing the American flag over his vessel. The
Canadian customs officers have confessed
that mistake was made in summarily lower.
ing the colOrs, and have expressed regret Al
the occurrence; and, as the Grimes has been
released, no further notice is likely 10 be
taken OF the case by the department Of state.
