APPROACH OF ENGLISH ELECTIONS

The small majority by which an Irish amend
mont to the reply 10 the Queens speech was
rejected was the result Of sharp political prac-
tce. The debate was closed piematnely, and
a vote taken when the Governments supporters
were caught nbpping. The reduction OF the
Governments majority to the narrow margin OF
u votes did not represent any material change
of political opinion in the Commons. II was
merely display Of good management On the
Irish side and lack Of vigilance on the part OF
the Unionist whips. The tumu1nouS applause
from the Opposition benches with which the
announcement &C the closcness OF the vote was
received was evidence Of the good feeling pre-
yailing among the Home Rule allies. The bold
ness with which the Government has been cha.
lenged during the opening debates to dissolve
Parliament was another proof OF the confidence
Of the Opposition in It's ability to carry the next
elections A narrow majority Of q in Para

arc made against the Belgian railroad builders

And these charges do not come from French
sources alone If they did they would still de
serve serious attention, despite the known Jeal-
ousy felt by France toward the other Powers in
Africa. From Belgium Itself, however, comes
the most circumstantial indictment OF all. II is
said that the King Of Dahomey and other chiefs
Of the West Coast procure thousands OF slaves

Tho Cunning Law.

MIR. EDITOR Il have so frequently been ap-
preached in reference to the time when it is
lawful to shoot and trap game i'll this county
that have concluded to send you for publica-
ton my views ON the subject. have cxamin-
ed into this question very carefully and have
arrived at this conclusion. l might add, that
i'll consultation with States Attorney Pres
ton he expresses the same views as myself:
In order that may he fully unders: God, |
deem it necessary to go back to the Act of 1884,
Chapter 81, which act protected the game in
Cecil and Hartford counties. This act made it
unlawful to shoot or trap rabbits or cartridges
in Hartford county between Dec. 26 and Oct.
10; i'll other words, such game could be hunted
from Oct. 16 TO Christmas. This law was re-
pealed and re-enacted i'll 1883 but did not af-
feet our county. When the local laws were
codified for the several counties, the Act of
1883, Chapter $50, was known i'll the Local
ID, and in the Local Code for Cecil County as
Section IS of Art. 8. In 1890 the Legislature
repealed Section AZ of Article ID of the Code of
Public Local Laws, title Hartford County, and
re-enacted the same, the substance of the
amendment being to prohibit shooting or trap
ping rabbits or cartridges between January
it permitted such hunting and trapping on the
day after election until the close of the year.
In 1892 the Legislature repealed Sec. Is of
Art. = Of the Code of Public Local Laws title
Cecil County, subtitle birds and Game"
and re-rnacted the same You will notice that
See 40 of Art. ! 3 of the Hartford Code and Sec.
80 of Art S Of the Cecil Code were one and the
same section when the Act OF 1855, Chapter
$50, was passed, and included 10th Hartford
and Cecil Counties. The necessity Tor separating
or including the act in the Code for each county
is very clear to all. The Act of 1892, last re-
ferred to, repealed the local law for Cecil coun-
ty and changed tie time for hunting game
therein, and as the Cecil law and Hartford law
had been combined i'll one act, it is supposed
that the act of 1892 repealed the Act of 1890
but am OF different opinion and hold that
the law of 1890. which permits cunning from
the day after election day until the close of the
year, is now the law of Hartford county. The
same law, so far as it related to this county,
| ;..l, Intr -l.f
been reped ed in 1890, and if the object of the
lawmakers had been to repeal the law of 1888
they attempted To repeal Il law which at that
time had no existence, as it had been repealed
the session before. And again, to make tho
Act Of 1892 effective here, the Act OF 1890
should have been directly repealed by refer
ence to its title. article and section To sum up,
| am of the opinion that the law of 1890 is now
in full force in Hartford county and it is I'M
lawful to shoot and trap cartridges or rabbits
in said Hartford county until November 9th,
or until the day after election.
Very Respectfully,
