PEACE ON EARTH.

That the solution of our Chilian dis
pute is now IN far way of reaching
an amicable settlement, alike honorable
to both governments, is subject for con-
graduation. The Itata seizure, the
misinterpretation of the humane ef.
forts of Minister Egan in affording pro-
lection to refugees, who had excit, d

While this is an increase an the preced-
ing. still il is not so great as nigh,

ing conditions that have existed in Eu-
rope during the year. For the month
of November there was falling OF OF

STATISTICS show that the value of
our imports and exports for the twelve
months ending Nov. so. 1891, amounted
TO Sl.76S, ,394, ,674, . sum very much
larger than that Of any previous year
In the history of the government The
excess o; the exports over the imports
was nearly $3.50. 100000. = showing
which speaks well for our tariff laws.
The percentage o. dutiable imports for
the year was 49.4 against 65.l for last
year. and the percentage OF free inn.
ports was 500 against $40 of the pre-.
cecding year. IL is very probable that
the statistics for the year TO come will
show q still greater balance in our
favor. owing to the enormous exports
of breadstuffs. and the better under.
standing and working OF the new tariff
law.

grouse are mostly in high peaks and in
ir trees, where they are quite free from
moleStation until the following spring,
| when many, mostly males, are killed
ing the breeding season by Indians,
and no doubt many nests and broods Of
young are destroyed in consequence of
this killing. The tendency of the present
law Is to annoy and prevent sportsmen
OF responsibility from getting fair share
OF game and to allow Indians and ire
sponslble people to get it all. Young
grouse are usually in their prime by the
middle of August and young quails are
usually large enough to shoot by the lst
OF September. Grouse shooting might
begin August 10th and quail shooting on
the lst of September.
This would enable the sportsmen who
come to the mountains 10 recuperate, but
who seldom stay in them later than the
middle of September, a chance TO get 4
bird or two occasionally without being
annoyed by threats of prosecution and
subsection to an unreasonable fine. Game
needs no protection from this class of
gunnerS; but one in a hundred of them
ever kills deer, and they are seldom
able TO kill grouse.
THE Washoe Indians, to their credit
be 1t said, are very energetic, successful
hunters, who kill more deer in the Sierras
than ali the stockmen, campers and white
hunters combined. They nearly ex-
terminated the deer in Calaveras County
a few years ago, and they never had any
moral rights in that county They spared
neither sex nor age, not even taWns that
were but two or three weeks old, as [
positively know, having visited their
camps several times in June and July in
Calaveras and Alpine Counties. Ifthey
will observe the game law deer may in
crease, but they now are very scarce-so
scarce that several stockmen have re-
Gently told me they intended to obey the
law in respect to deer.
I'm some of the counties deer are still
abundant, and this must make it plain
that the only right way to have a salts
factory game law in this large, greatly
varied State is TO let the Supervisors Of
each county fix the open and close sea-
son, though it might be advisable to place
some limit to this authority
