PARIS. Nov. 22.-All of the Paris pa

chamber of deputies on Saturday on
the press bill and agreed that it practi-

The Soleil calls the outcome of the
fight over the bill an abortion.
The Journal DIES Debate thinks that
the government hoped to have the re-
jected clauses of the bill restored in
the Senate, but says that should the
Senate so act the chamber would never
confirm the action of the Upper House.
The government, this paper says,
should have been firmer.
The Figaro reports that the Cabinet
discussed the situation on Saturday
night and decided not to resign.

ELECTRIC LINE SUFFERS.
Big Damage Caused by Fire in st. Louis
Early This Morning.

ST. LOUIS, Nov 21-The Lindell
Electric line suffered heavy loss by
fire at l clock this morning. The
flames got foothold in the car-house.
The burned structure is a huge af-
fair of brick and stone, in the form of
an oblong. At first an attempt was
made to roll some of the motors out
into the street from the reach of the
fire, but their enormous weight pre-
vented these efforts from being success
full. One motor that was standing just
inside the door of the Finny avenue
end was finally reached and pulled out
just before the flames reached it. By
the time second alarm was turned in
the roof had fallen and set fire to the
cars that had SO far escaped damage.
The loss will reach $50, 900; fully in.
sured.

Agitation in favor of the abolition of
the royal buck hounds has been greatly
strengthened this week by the cruel
hunt which took place recently In En-
gland. y couple of deer were started
from Windsor to MarlOw, twenty miles
away, and one of them was let loose.
1t proved to be poor-spirited animal,
however, and after trotting about aim
lessly for while with crowd of small
boys and ruiiianly men at its heels it
took refuge, dead beat, in a farmyard
shed. The other deer was then started
and turned out even less satisfactory,
from sportsman's point of view. In
steado taking to the open country, as
any well-conditiOned animal should
have done, it ran into the outskirts of
the town and finally got entangled in a
barbed-wire fence. There it hung for
a time with the hounds close behind,
and when it eXtricated itself it ran
around the field with blood pouring
from its mouth. Finally it fell down
in dying condition and the nearest
butcher came and drove a knife into its
heart. This is misuamed royal sport,
for the continuance Of which aristo-
Gratis and Windsor tradesmen recently
petitioned the queen.

A Timely Suggestion.

Our game laws have been for the
last twenty years SO altered, amended,
abridged and mixed that no one can un-
derstand Che exact meaning of what
purports to be the law, as published un-
der the auspices of the present game
wardens, and in order to have same com
piled properly, so as to be understood
without referring to old laws, etc, by
any competent lawyer the expense
would be several hundred dollars, and
then be rather complicated and not
easily understood says John Z.
Lower, n veteran sportsman Of Denver.
II would now suggest the proprietY Of
calling the attention of all the newly
elected senators and representatives Of
the various sections of the state to the
propriety of their consulting such of
their constituency who take an interest
in the proper protection of large game
and get themselves properly informed
as to what is desired. Then have a
convention of such us are well disposed
towards the propagation and protection
of our large game; meet with such
newly elected representatives and deter
mine on such laws as will be just and
fair TO all Colorado citizens. Have this
put into the shape of a petition to our
legislature and have an entire new
game law passed, and wipe out all for
mer complications by the repeal of all
former game laws. The element we
want to interest themselves in this
great necessity is the respectable citi
zens who can convince our representa-
tives of our different sections of the
benefit to Colorado throughout. | do
not think the dependence upon certain
sportsmen who care more about shoot
ing matches, over medals and purses of
money, are the proper hands to trust to
making impartial game laws that are
expected to be upheld by the general
community"

Summing Up the Strike.

The Homestead strike is estimated to
have cost the workingmen $1,000, 600
and the Carnegie Company twice that
amount. Besides this it cost the state
of Pennsylvania SGOO,0O0 to pay and
maintain the troops called into service,
and thus the grand total foots up to the
sum of So 600, eco. But this is not the
worst of the matter by any means.
Thirty-iive men, directly or indirectly,
lost their lives through the strike, and
a bitterness has been engendered that
in hundreds, if not thousands of breasts,
will not be allayed for years to come.
In connection with this memorable
strike it may be justly said that the
workingmen made their monumental
mistake in resorting to force. However
much the Carnegie Company may be
criticised for calling in the Pinkertons,
the fact remains that had not the work.
ingmen taken the law in their own
hands, the case, so far as the general
public was concerned, would have been
vastly strengthened. AS soon as it
was demonstrated that the Homestead
men were resolved to set the law aside
and use violence to gain their point,
they lost the sympathy of many mill
ions of American people. From that
moment their cause was doomed, and
their surrender became only question
of time. Let us hope that the Home
stead trouble will prove to be a valuable
obipct lpSsop ard that hars ppfortb
striking workingmen will not allow
their passions to run away with
their senses.-Roston Traveller.

Something for Nothing.

The instinct of getting something for
nothing seems to be inborn in the hui
man heart. Undeserved gains are so
much better in the estimation of so
many people that years spent in trying
to gain mere living from the world
without giving an equivalent are often
preferred to honest labor which yields a
rich income.
This instinct of "unearned incre-
ment," so to speak, is developed early
in life. a short time ago Il tender
youth of eight was determined to bet
that Williams could whip Turner in the
to-be prize fight. At the same time
seven or eight newsboys were gambling
their hard-earned money throwing for
craps. Gathered around an inverted
store-box they were rattling and throw

But this is by no means peculiar to

eat sugar, and wagered thousands of
dollars upon the one which would fly
away first. Indeed this desire to get

Bargain" days, so dear to the femin-
inc heart, will soon have to take the
form of gift distributions in order to
satisfy public expectation. At fire

crowds for hours, sometimes be rude
and uncivil, in th.ir ,overmastering de-
sire to get something for less than it
cost. Many man is enticed into places
displaying free lunch' signs simply
because he thinks he is going to live
without paying anything, entirely for
getful of how much ii will cost him to
get out. The amount of shoe leather

lost, patience and conscience crippled

estimated. No labor without reward, -

We are glad that the "Sockless Simp-
son" has been returned to congress
from Kansas. When John Morrssey
defeated Horace Greeley for congress in
New York City, and the returns were
shown to Mr.. Greeley, he said: That
is exactly proper. Mr.. MorrisseY repre-
sents the voters of this district better
than | do Then pointing out that in
one ward there were more votes cast
for his opponent than there were men,
women and children, horses and mules
in the ward, he emphasized the fact
that he believed Mr.. Morrissey repre-
sented the voters of the district better
than he did. And so we think that Mr.
Simpson represents the people of Kan
sas much more appropriately than
would genius like ex-senator Ingalls,
