RECIPROCITY.

Tho Democratic party has been
roundly denounced by our Republi-
can friends rs the advocate OF free
trade, and the stereotypel expression
free trade Democrats" was always to
be found at hand in every regular and
we'll governed Republican printing
Office. Now, however, the FREQ trade
idea has been rechristened "Recip-
rocity' by the immortal Blaine, and
his followers have Inscribed that
motto on their banners and propose
to march on to victory with reciprocity
as their watch word. On this subject
the Silver State hts the party a jolt
below the belt in the following peril
nent queries:
"But il, as we are told repeatedly,
tho foreign producer, not tho Amer
lean consumer, pays the duty on i'm
ports, why adopt reciprocity or reduce
the tariff? The tariff on imported
sugar amounts to about SGO,O0O,OO a
year and il this is paid by Cuban an6
Porto Rica planters, willy in the name
OF consistency should sugar be put
on the FREQ list and Americans bs
taxed to pay a bounty of two cents on
every pound OF sugar producedi in the
United States? Evidently tho tariff
tinkers do not know what they are
doing or they IRE trying to deceive
the people. II foreigners pay the
duty on imports, why not put a tariff
on every article brought into the
country and reduce taxation ut

The Laws about Cunning.

The prospect for shooting game this fall
Is said to be better thar for several ca
sons, as quail and rabbits are reported to
be plentiful in some localities. Gamers
are already to be seen in the fields, and
they not infrequently disregard signboards
forbidding hunting. fishing or trespassing
on private land as of little account. This
is a mistake, as the law makes it an act of
trespass to go on cultivated or enclosed
land for any purpose without permission,
and the owner is entitled to recover actual
damage for such trespass. No man has
a right to go upon the premises of another,
whether for cunning or other purpose,
without consent of the owner, and every
person so doing is a trespasser. Although
it is customary for persons to enter upon
the ground of others for the purpose Of
fishing, nutting or cunning, yet they have
no right to do it without consent of the
owner. Being a trespasser, he must get
off the premises if directed, and must not
stand upon his going. He must move eff
as fast as he can, but you need not run.
Ii he refuses to go the owner can use as
much force as necessary to put him off,
even if it results in the death of the offend
er, but you dare not use more force than is
absolutely necessary.-St0te Gazette.

Train Wrecked Near westy,ile.

The freight train which left Camden
early Monday morning for Salem was
wrecked near Westville station. The train
consisted of 30 cars, loaded with miscel-
laneous merchandise. When it reached a
point near Big Timber creek bridge the
engine struck a horse and wagon, carrying
the team over to the other side of the
creek. The debris of the wagon passed
under the engine, tender and first ear, but
the wheels of the second car must have
struck a larger piece of the wreck, which
threw the trucks of the car aside and the
wheels off the track, causing several ofthe
cars to pile up on top Of one another. The
wrecked cars caused a delay to trains of
several hours. The railroad officials place
the damage at about $1,000. The railroad
officials did not ascertain to whom the
horse wagon belonged, although it was
believed to be the property Of a huckster,
who had left the team standing outside of
a saloon at Gloucester. The animal start
ed off down the pike, and when the cross
ing was reached turned down the tracks.
