American Game Preserves.

The famous Adirondack region of
New York is being invaded bv the
timber cutter, and hunter and tourist
are filled with sorrow at the prospect
OF the eventual denudation of noun
tain and glen. Efforts have been
made in the New York Legislature to
have the Adirondack region set aside
as a park, but as yet no safeguard has
been erected by t1e lawmakers, and
the harvesting of timber goes on with
undiminished vigor. If the sporting
clubs of New York would combine and
purchase or lease large tracts in the
Adirondack region, in the sections
most frequented by game animals.
they would accomplish what seems to
be impossible of attainment in any
other way.
The establishment of game preserves
IN this country has evoked opposition
because the movement savors some
what of the privilege of nobility in the
Old World but it would seem that if
tavOrite haunts of game are to be
guarded for the benefits of posteritv
the sporting societies of the United
States must do it.
The time will come in the United
states when the owners of good game
preserves will be able to charge a
handsome price for the privilege of
hunting in forests where the pot-hun-
ter cannot roam in his campaigns of
extermination.--Th The Milwaukee EUeninO

D0Uer hdcr, tDc1p)
II there is anything about which
there is no doubt, it is that the dele
gates composing a convention shall be
elected in the same manner as the
members of the General Assembly,
yet, the bill which has Just passed the
House plainly repudiates that provis-
ION of the constitution which prescribes
the number Of delegates and the mode
of electing them. 1t is really surpris-
ing that men can screw their courage
up to the point of defying the author
ity of the instrument under which they
are protesting to act. Some people
though, have advanced so far that the
matter Of respecting official obligations
is come to be regarded as an ante. de-
luvian custom, and should be treated
as all other relics of that age-obiects
of curiosity.
We know the constitution needs re-
vising and we also know that con-
vention is the only means by which it
can be effeclually done. But let the
convention be called in the mode pre-
scribed by the constitution and the
law made in pursuance thereof. If
such course is adopted there will be
no objections raised as to its validity,
and consequently no impediments to
delay the consummatiOn of the pop.
ular wish.
We think it is the duty of the Legis-
lature to pass a law authorizing an
other election for the purpose of as
certaining the sense of the people as to
calling a constitutional convention.
There is nothing so pressing as to de-
mand this revolutionary mode of call
ing a convention. Let us have con-
vention, but let it be done in order.

Convention Bill Passed the
House.
NEWSPAPER VIEW ON THE QUESTION

N
Morning Nclos, (RcpJ
The bill for the calling of a consti-
tutlonal convention has passed the
House at Dover and will now go into
the Senate, where it is probable that it
viii be throttled. The position both
of the Republicans and Democrats who
have put themselves on record as fa-
voring the call of a convention upon
the vote Of 1887, has been set forth
clearly and unmistakably. They are
just as conscientious in the perform
ance of their duty as those who have
seen lit TO oppose the measure upon
the ground that it was not in accord
with the strict letter or Interpretation
of the constitution.
The speeches made Tuesday, and of
which we are, unfortunately, able to
give but brief outline, were the out
come OF careful deliberation upon the
part of the speakers The argument
advanced by MIR. Lodge, based upon a
legal construction of the inherent right
OF the people to make their own laws,
by eminent authorities, was au admir-
able piece of work. His analysis of
who the people are-those who have
the right OF franchise and exercise that
prlvllege-Was recognized as a point
well made.
Mr.. bowman, with whom Mr..
Lodge differed very slightly, stated
proposition that was in a measure new,
and that was that there existed no Off
clal record of the votes cast in 1882,
1884 and 1885, and that therefore, ac-
cOrdlng to the strict cOnstructionists"
1t would be impossible to estimate
which vote was the highest and to
compare with it the vote of 1897 As
matter of fact no record of the Off
clal vote for representatives is kept,
the certificate Of election of each mem
Der merely being filed That being so,
1t would take six years yet to obtain
the official record of three elections
upon which to base the vote for the
holding OF a convention; so that eight
or ten years would probably elapse
before convention could be called by
adhering to the letter of article 8,
which the anti-convention people
throw in the way to block the will of
the people.
A good step, however, has been
taken, and the vote is very gratifying
to those who hold that the people have
right to say whether or not conven-
ton shall be held on the vote already
recorded, and it shows the temper of
those who see and appreciate the ne
cessity for reform now and object to
still longer delaying what should have
come to pass long ago.
Now that the Republicans and Con-
ventiOn Democrats have done their
duty and the bill has been assigned to
the tender mercies Of the Senate
graveyard" their responsibility ceases
and that of the seven Democratic Sen
atOrs begin.

the contrary, lives close and frugal life

The Democratic party has given one
more evidence of its unhending oppo-
sitiOn to temperance reform by the
passage through the New Jersey AS
sembly of the Werts Liquor bill, which
had previously been passed by the Sen
ate. The main feature of the bill is
that it repeals the cOunty-Option por-
tiOn of last years law; it also contains
an anomalous provision that townships
may appeal to the courts to increase
the fees for liceUses. Many nble law
yers regard this part of the act as un-
constitutional. The bill was passed
by the votes of 81 Democrats and !
Republican, while q Republicans
voted against it.

The Legislature of Connecticut has
shown that it recognizes the evil effects
of tobacco on boys by passing a law
which fOrbids the selling of cigarettes
or tobacco in any form to boys under
sixteen years Ofage. There have been
so many cases of narcotic poisoning
among the youth of this country from
the use of tobacco that it is probable
that other States will follow the exam
pie of Connecticut and enact similar
laws. 1t has been demonstrated that
the use of tobacco upon the circulation
of the blood, and also on the brain,
especially in the formative period, is
not only injurious but dangerous. 1t
increases the circulation to such a de-
gree as to lead to valvular and other
heart trouble, while several instances
have recently occurred where boys
have become insane from the use oi
cigarettes.
