Foraker complained of his loss to

Miller and Tate. They found Mary
Wilson at the house, and she was iden

In less than an hour the Grand
Jury had found a true bill and the

was about to proceed, when ex-Judge
Elcock, who had been retained as
counsel for the defence, made an ap-

A STRIKING feature of the daily in
telligence on Saturday, confirmed by
later news on Monday was the change
OF an empire in a day to a republic
Brazil, the largest of the South Ameri-
can States. Another feature was that
the revolution was blOodless. The de-
tails were meagre, but enough to show
that Dom Pedro has set sail for Lisbon,
having been informed that ne had been
depOsed. 1t is apparent that the revo-
luton was as successful as it was un-
expected, and that the assumption of
government control by the rebels was
peaceable and well planned. The news
indicate that an attempt will be made
to preserve the condition of affairs
pretty much as they were before the
outbreak. The representatives. of Brazil
in other countries are greatly interested
Of course in the outcome of events, and
the commercial portion of the United
States also has a deep concern in Bra
lillian matters. Bahia, one of the larg-
est provinces, opposes the republic
and the supporters of the latter may
have trouble in enforcing at once the
new order of things.

The Man and the Gun.

Friday was dry day, and the law
restricting cunning having expired
the day before, the gunners were out
in force. One sportsman on returning
from the field, reported seeing gun
ner about every hundred yards. The
movement was simultaneous all
through the state, and the amount of
game bagSed must have been enor-
nous, to say nothing Of the large
amount Of powder and shot wasted.
We hear of men waddling home with
heavy loads of cotton tails but the find
of partyidges was not 80 large as some
seasons, though satisfactory when the
numerous heavy rains of the summer
were taken into account It would
really seem that when the gunners
become legal invaders of the hauuts of
the unsuspecting game-let loose on
them without any warning, that they
would be really wiped out in lay.
Some gupners of the Alley either
from impaliVnce or feeling themselves
secure on their own property. seized
the first fair day for a day of sport.
which happened to be on Thursday,
the day before the law gave the priv
ilege to shoot game. The party was
composed Of Jas G. LeCompt and
Isaac Senix, Of the Alley, and DR..
HarmonsOn and Jas. r. Clements of
Clayton. They either hadn't dogs or
satisfactory Oues, so what should they
do but 90 after Jos. Ennis pack of the
same neighborhood 10 get the dogs
and have them hunt efficiently they
had to get Joe, and he wasn't the man
to so tramping around among the
bushes and brars all day Just for moth
ing, so he shouldered his double
barrelled gun to feel he wasn't killing
time. Every rabbit scared up seemed
to be just down the unerrjng range of
his gun barrel at any rate the day
closed with five rabbits. and Ennis had
killed them all. He, however, divided
up, and all hands were well pleased
with the days hunt. Ennis, however,
found it costly days sport ID yielding
to the solicitations Of his neighbOrs.
Detective Hutchns heard of it, had
him summoned to Dover, tried before
a justice and Ennis got away only by
fOrking over 50. DIR. Harmonson re.
turned to Clayton quite proud of his
trophy of the days diversion. The
people thought of course it was his
game, and so did an officer connected
with the Game Protective Association
who happened to spy him. The Doc
tor was like the coon who called to
Capt. Scott mot to shoot, he would
come down." for he forthwith passed
over to the officer the fine for violatinl
the law, So, thus saving the trouble
and expense of prosecution. 1t is sale
that Detective Hutchins is on the look
out for other violators of the law, bu
the people think he ought to let up OIL

tinental railway is a remarkable feature
of their utterances. When Secretary
Blaine in his address of welcome pre-
dicted that the two hemispheres would
be bound together by a trunk railway
system at the Isthmus many Americans
were startled by what seemed like
chimerical scheme; but the delegates,
after a thorough examination of the
railways of the United States during
their journey of 5000 miles, have dis
couraged the significance of the sugges-
ton. 81 believe" remarks Don JerOn-
imo Zelaya, of Honduras, "that your
prosperity is largely due to the devOl-
opment of the iron industry, scientifi-
cally applied to the construction of
machinery and railways-twO things
in which you are unquestiOnably ahead
of all other nations" He perceives
that it is the American locomotive that
has opened the resources of theWest and
brought its settlement and progress at
high speed. He longs to have that
American locomotive travelling through
the Isthmus and up and down South
America. His associates from Mexico
Chilli, Bolivia, and other States unite
with him in prOnOuncing an inter-cOn
tinental railway entirely feasible, anC
the best agency for promoting clos
communication and commercial ex
changes between the Northern ant
Southern hemispheres. At the sam
time they all agree in favoring effectiv
means of water communication as tn
most pressing and urgent requiremen
at present.
If the Congress opens a way fo
constant steamship communication
uninterrupted exchange of product
and manufactures, and the amalgams
tiOn of the railway systems of Mort
and South, it will accomplish a grea
work for civilization. NatRr6 linke

ated-tnem from Europe. A Statesman
ship that strives to unity America
interests and to promote the industrii
? and pacific destinies of the continent
in line with nature, and at the san
time does not antagonize Europea
civilization.

WHAT was called a National Farm
ers' Congress was held last week in
Montgomery, Alabama. A resolution
to remove the tax on tobacco came up
on an adverse report of a committee,
and the report was cOncurred in. Sim
liar action was taken upon the report
of a committee on a resolution declar-
ing that the government does not need
the money raised by internal revenue
taxation, and that the Congress favor
the repeal of the internal revenue laws,
and that taxes raised from whisky and
tobacco be relegated to the different
States to relieve them of local taxation.
Resolutions were adopted demanding
that all farm products shall be as fully
protected as the most favored of the
manufacturing industries.

Killing Game on Ones Own Property

We give on our first page commu-
nicatiOn from John w. Graham, Jr..
about the killing of a rabbit on his
fathers farm and the connection of the
Road OVerseer Herewith. This case
has excited more than usual public in
terest and comment thereupOn in the
press. 1t cost him $3.50 for the fun of
shooting one rabbit on his own lands
and he was then subjected to the addi-
tiOnal annoyance of being arrested by
another party on the same charge.
Chapter 322, sectionl, of volume, XVI.
Ofthe Laws of Delaware, has this pro-
viso in the game law, provided that
this section shall not prohibit any per-
son from killing game on his own land
at any time"
This prOviso was not altered by the
Legislature of 1883, but it is omitted
from volume XVII where chapter 5O7
makes no mention of this proviso. De-
tective Hutchins says that the prosecu-
tiOn of Graham and others under sim
liar circumstances is in accordance
with the law and that several lawyers
in Dover who have been consulted on
the matter have said that everybody is
amenable to the law and no discrimi-
nation can be made.
On the other hand, the critics of the
law wonder whether a prohibition of
a man for shooting game on his own
property is not an interference with
his inherent rights and naturally they
are curious to know whether the law
would hold water in higher court.
The EUery EUeaing, in commenting
editOrially on this case says;
Squire TESTERS action in fning John
w. Graham, of Ken,on, s. for shooting
Il rabbit on his own land, has surprised
great many people. The impression
is prevalent, and the statement has fre
quently been made in legislative con-
verse at Dover, and, so far as we know
without contradiction, that the right of
land owner to kill game on his own
| premises at any time is one which stat
utory law cannot abridge or take away.
An act of 1881 explicitly recognized
this Limitation, but it appears to have
been superseded by an act of 1885,
which, in words, prohibits everybody
without exception, from killing, taking
destroying, selling, &c, certain speci-
fed birds and quadrupeds between
| specified dates of each year. SQUIRE
Jester appears to have been governed
in his decision by the letter ofthis later
act; but if his decision is good law il
will be a revelation to Delaware
farmers. The principle at issue in,
wolves a degree of public interference
with private right that should be
passed upon by a higher tribunal
Such an Interpretation of the statute
carried to its logical conclusion might
be construed to prohibit breeder OF
domestic rabbits from killing or sell
ing any Of them during the closed
| season.

THE DeIaUdrean in speaking of the
Dill case and the publication in some
of the papers that the friends of Dill
were Walcottites aud those for convic-
tion Saulsburyites, says the idea that it
was a political fight between parties is
so utterly ridiculous and absurd that
even the silliest idiot in the almshouse
of the county would not have credited
such proposition. Iu the first place,
Mr.. Dill was not even a citizen Of the
State, but lived in Maryland and voted
in Maryland. In the next place had
Mr.. Dill lived in Delaware no one who
knows the man would have for a
moment harbored any ill-feeling toward
him on account of his political proclivi-
ties.
