HE WOULDN'T DO 1T.
A GOOD IOWA STORY OF A MULIsH OLD
DEMOCRAT.

The following remarkably good story
is from the Oskaloosa, Iowa, Herald.
1t illustrates the mulish obstinacy of
some men and also demonstrates q very
important truth in current politics:
One of our farmer friends, whose
only fault is that he is a Democrat
and he is not to blame for that, for his
father before him was dyed in the
wool, and he never reads the newspa-
pers-came to town one day this week
to buy some sugar. His good wife was
putting up fruit, and she needed about
fifteen pounds of sweetness. The dia-
logue in the grocery ran about as fol-
lows:
Farmer-'What are you doing young
manY'
Clerk-"Waiting on you. Weighing
out your sugar"
Farmer-"How much are you giving
me2'
Clerk-"A dollars worth"
Farmer-"Yes, / know; but how
many pounds?'
Clerk-"Twenty-four."
Farmer-"Twenty four! Why it used
to be only fourteen"
Clerk-"Yes, but Mckinley did il"
Farmer-"Well, run her back and
give me only fourteen pounds. If
took home twenty-four pounds of SUI
gar for dollar the old woman would
make me vote the Republican ticket,
and I'll be hanged if I'll do that"

GAME AND FISH LAW.
THE PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS or
THE HUNTER AND FISHER IN MICHIGAN
FOR 1891.

The game and fish laws are designed
to restrict within proper limits the de-
struction of birds, beasts and fish, 30
that they may continue to be an inn
portant source of food supply, and at
the same time afford enjoyment for the
lovers of the rod and gun. Any person
who takes game or fish out of season
deprives law abiding citizens of their
rights. In order that all may have an
equal chance the law must be strictly
observed. The attention of the public
is called TO the following provisions:
Deer may now be killed in the lower
peninsula from the fifth day of Nov
ember to the twenty-fifth dav of Nov
ember. In the upper peninsula be-
tween the twenty-fifth day of Septem-
Der and the twenty-fifth day of October.
Deer must not be taken or killed in the
water, or by trap or pitfall, or by arti-
fetal light commonly called "shing")
or by the use of dogs. Any person
may kill dog following deer or deer
tracks.
Wild turkey season, open from Nov
LIST to Dec. 10Th inclusive.
Owing to the new law now taking
immediate effect, partridge may be
killed from Sept. LIST, 1891, to Oct. LIST,
1891, on which date the new law goes
into effect, making the open season
from Nov. lst to Dec. 10Th, inclusive, in
the upper peninsula.
Quail season, open from Nov. 1st to
Dec. 18th, inclusive.
The new law makes the open season
for woodcock from August 18th to Dec.
18th, but as this law does not take eff
feet until October lst, 1891, woodcocks
must only be killed this year from
Sept. lst to Dec. 18th.
Prairie chickens not to be killed UNI
til September lst, 1894.
Speckled trout and grayling may be
caught with hook and line only, and
from May lst to September LIST. Trout,
grayling and salmon less than SIX inch
es in length must be put back in the
water. Brook trout or grayling must
not be caught or shipped for sale.
After October LIST, 1891, nothing but
hook and line can be used in any in
land lake. Even set line or night lines
are prohibited, and to be found on the
lake with spear, jack, net, set lines, ar
titicial light, explosives, etc., is prima
facie evidence of guilt.
In streams where there is no local act
to the contrary, red sides, grass pike,
mullet and suckers may be taken with
dip net or spear at any time, and other
fish with the exception of bass, trout,
salmon and grayling may be speared
any time during March, April, May
and June.
With the exception of dip nets az
above stated, no nets of any kind can
be used except in the great lakes, the
bays and harbors connected with said
lakes. and the st. Msrys, Saginaw, st.
Clair and Detroit rivers. Information
in regard to fishing in these waters fur
nished on application.
Any person knowing of viola
ton of these laws should send full
and explicit information to the un-
dersigned. Reports will be kept strict
ly confidential when desired.

The annual report Of the Secretary of
the Interior has been submitted to the
President and makes volume of over
10 pages. The work of the past year
has been of large extent and great i'm
portance. The General Land Bureau is
nearly abreast of its work; the Indian
Bureau is accomplishing the rapid disin-
tegration of the Indian reservations, the
severance of tribal relations and the edu-
cation of the Indian youth. The PEN
sion Office is rapidly completing the al
lowance of all pensions legally possible
under the laws, moving at the rate of
about 10000 month; the census has
been taken and its publications rapidly
going on; the Geological Survey is keep
ing up its admirable work, and is select
ing the reservoirs for the arid lands of
the far West and Southwest; the Rail
road Bureau is making ready for the
maturity of the debts due from the sub
sidized railroads, the Union Pacific and
others; the Bureau of Education, besides
having distributed the vast fund allowed
the agricultural colleges for white and
colored pupils in the different States, is

Ohio's first experiment with the Aus
tralian system of voting at the late elec-
ton was decided success. In the large
cities, where so many of the polling
places are usually infested with the
buyers and sellers of votes, there was a
remarkable difference. The ward bosses,
the blocks-of five captains and the two.
dollar voters were conspicuously absent,
and the voting proceeded in an orderly,
business-like wav. Indeed, the improve
ment was so great that women, if they
had been permitted to vote, would have
had no more hesitation about walking
into polling booth than into dry
goods store.
On the other hand, few thousand
voters in the State marked their ballots
incorrectly. Instead of putting the cross
mark before the name of the ticket thew
intended to vote straight, they put it
before the name of the candidate for
Governor, and by so doing voted for him
alone. But they will have several
months in which to learn better before
the next election, and it is to be hoped
that they will improve the opportunity.
In Colorado also this system had a
very successful test. Votes were cast
with secrecy and without the least suspi-
cion of intimidation. In one election
district, where total of 300 votes had
been cast, but seven were thrown out on
account of wrong marking. This re-
markable showing was the result of
thorough instruction in the new method.
The citizens are fully satisfied with
the system and unanimously declare
that it has come TO stay.

SO far as numbers are concerned
the Indian population of the country
is no longer formidable. The total
Indian population of the United States
is only 249,273. Of these only 133,-
3S2, exclusive of few prisoners of
war and convicts, are under the con-
troll of the Indian office-not taxed or
taxable. Many Of these are children
and women and Of the braves the
greater number are peaceable. Twice
as much money is expended yearly
now on Indian education as in 1888
and that policy pursued for few
years will, it is believed, almost elimi
nate the Indian question from Ameri
can politics.

Owing to the closeness of the vote
for Legislative candidates in New York
a fierce fight is being waged for su-
premacy. Both parties claim a ma
jority. The Democrats are said to
have elected the largest number, but
if it would so happen that this belief
is wrong, they should readily concede
the gain to their opponents. This
would be the only honorable means to
pursue, but it is feared that the willy
Governor will attempt to establish a
majority at all hazards. If actions

repeal or modification of the abomin.
able old blue laws, an extension of the
death penalty, to such criminals as
professional burglars, train wreckers,
etc, and the establishment of a whip
ping post for certain kinds of often
ders. All of these would be very
good improvements but before they
should receive any attention prospec-
tive Legislators should study well

THE fifty-second Congress, which
will convene next month, will be a
power for good or evil to he future
welfare of the Democratic party. The
Democrats having an invulnerable
majority they are therefore invested
with the responsibility for the legisla.
tion that will be passed and herein
lies the power that can be utilized to
establish a strong foundation for a
successful presidential campaign, Or
to the contrary if proper precautions
are not taken. Being elected on
tariff-reform platforms the members
will be expected to legislate in this
direction as far as possible. But how
this will be done is the theme that is
attracting attention. To enact a
measure enlarging the free list and
reducing the tariff on some over. taxed
commodities would, without doubt, be
the most wise plan to pursue, and
would enable such a movement to
receive some discussion in the Senate;
while on the other hand if bill pro
claiming a complete revision of the
tariff is introduced, as is advocated by
some inexperienced members, it would
be very damaging undertaking and
In the event of its being passed would
probably receive no discussion in the
Senate at all, as it would be consider
ed by the Republican majority in that
body too absurd for recognition.
