alties, that are not laid or imposed upon
the other, is a most unjust discrimina-
ton. Any law like this, requiring weekly
payment of help in money, must be gen.
eral to be just. The discrimination it
is proposed to enact in the bills now
before the legislature in certain very
probable contingencies might drive the
class Disseminated against out of bust
ness or into bankruptcy.
Neither the law contemplated by
these bills, nor any law making
weekly payments compulsory,is wanted.
In any case, such law would be a
meddlesome interference with the free
and natural course of business.

TnE matter of fish culture, npon

THE matter of fish culture, upon
which the state has entered, is one of
very great Importance. "Visitor,"
who elsewhere in this issue tells the
story of his observations at the Rox-
bury hatchery, has had long expert
ence in this peculiar branch of in
dustry, and to a non-expert his sugges-
tons seem to be richly worth con-
sidering.
If woman suffrage is right and wise
political measure, why limit this right
to a few of the sex who may chance to
have property on which they pay taxes?
If it is a right, make the right free and
general-as free and general as to the
male sex. The women excluded and
Disseminated against by the bill that
passed the house last Wednesday are as
capable of exercising the suffrage, and
as much entitled to the right, as their
property-holding sisters or non-property-
holding brothers.

Fish, Sawdust, Tannery yats, etc.

The state has committed itself
wisely and with reason-to the work of
restocking its streams with fish. The
reasons are we'll understood, and few
will question the wisdom of the states
policy in this respect. A considerable
sum of money was appropriated for es-
tablishing fish hatchery, and further
sums will be required for its mainte-
nance and to carry out the object of
its establishment. The United States
government has also recognized the
reason and wisdom of fish propagation
in the country at large and in Vermont
in particular by appropriating liberal
sum to build and carry on a hatchery
in the state. So the work of restor-
ing to the waters of Vermont the in
habitants that add to their charms
and to a large class of very worthy
people are their chief charms
well begun, and no backward step
should be taken and no obstacle
should be allowed to stand in the
way of the greatest attainable success
of the enterprise. All this will be con.
coded. Now it is at just this point thai
an attempt by legislation to keep the
streams pure and clean, so that trout
or any other self-respecting fish will
dwell in them until the angler may en-
tice him to exchange the limpid waters

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.1
NEW CASTLE, July 9-In court this
morning, the examining committee of the
Lawrence County Bar Association asked to
be excused from serving any longer, saving
there were too many applications from law
students to be admitted to the bar. D. B.
Kurtz stated that he had no less than three
applications in his pocket at present This
statement brought forth some caustic re-
marks from Judge Hazen. who was on the
bench at the time. Said he:
We as a people are shutting our doors
aga'hss a hgs young m bi1ea lsber and the rea a.
son of this fs the very stringent laws which
are passed and vigorously enforced BY labor
organizations Go to any OF the works
where skilled labor is employed and see who
occupy the skilled labor positions. They are
Europeans. The doors are shut against
our own young men, and about the only way
iearn1na skiled Hy ehh iabor trne is for HIN to
have some foreigner adopt him. 1t Is a de-
plorable state of affairs, but 1t is trne. Go
to our steel rod mtIs and you will find that
foreigners are in the best positions.
Visited the Pittsburg Plate Glass Works
plant some time ago. and found that every
position requiring skilled labor was filled
by a European. Understand me, the Euro
peans are filling those places, but deplore
the necessity which exists for bringing them
here. The bars are last filling up in all the
cities, simply because young men want to
earn n living and the doors are shut against
them by labor organizations and they are
compelled to study law.
In Ohio some years ago, any man who
could obtain the signatures or three Asso-
ciate Judges could be admitted to the bar,
and as it was an easy thing to obtain these
signatures the State was soon overrun with
attorneys. The State was obliged to take u
hand and put stop to it. and now a man
cannot be admitted to the bar unless he first
passes an examination before the Supreme
Court. In Lawrence county we have 40
attorneys, and in Butler county 66, and there
is not enough business for one-Lhtrd that
number. The examining committee will not
be interfered with at present, and it Is hoped
future.

A Three-Round Go Between Feather
Weights at San Fran cisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-Sol Smith, of Los
Angeles, defeated Dan Daily, of Omaha, in
three rounds at the Athletic Club last night
for a s., ,25O purse. The betting had favored
Smith until shortly before the men went
into the ring, when it veered TO 100 to 80 in
Daly's favor. The battle commenced with
both men looking for an opening. Smith
finally got in with his right on the back as
Daily whirled. Smith made another rush,
and was stopped by hard left on the neck.
Smith made several rushes in the second
round, but DAILY cleverly avoided him. The
last round proved a surprise. Daily led
gentle left, just rea ching Smith.
The men then came together, and flew
around like fiy-wheel in efforts to land,
Smith staggering and Daily going to the
floor, neither landing. Smith again got in
and dropped Daily with a right-hander on
the jaw, the heel of-the glove drawing blood
from the mouth. DAILY remained on his
hands and knees about nine seconds, though
two Of the timekeepers pronounced him out.
He was dazed and, when Smith swung his
right at him as he rose. DAILY dropped with
out receiving Il blow. He rose and staggered
to the corner as the gong sounded, but Ref
cree Joe Goddard had left the ring and the
fight was given to Smith. The announce
ment caused much dissatisfa ction to many
