TIE SHAMROCK.

There is legend that when st. Pat
rick began to talk TO the pagan Irish of
the Trinity they would not listen to him
until the happy thought struck him of
illustrating the doctrine by means of the
Druid's sacred PLAINTIFF shamrock, or
small white clover. The three leaves
growing on one stem used as n symbol
made his teachings clear, and the sham
rock became llenceforward sacred to st.
Patrick. 1t Is said by others that the
shamrock is worn on ST. Patrick's Day
to represent the cross. 1t is a curious
fact that the trefoil is called shamrakh
in Arabic, and that it was held sacred in
ancient Persia as emblematical of the
Iran Triads. Piiny, in his natural his
tory, says that serpents are never seen
upon trefoil. and that it is an antidote to
the bite of the snake and the sting of the
scorpion.

THE GAME QUESTION.
"A MARKET HUNTERS VIEW.
ED1rOR ADVANCED Noticing it,
last weeks paper an article sigwd, II.
NJ. Twitcilell, 1 would like space In
your paper. to call attention to some
parts of it. lie says; "A law making
it u punishable offense to in any way
handle game for profit, could not bp
introduced half quick enough for me-"
I would like to ask MIR. Twitcheil. how
long it has been since he entertained
such views? 1t has been but n .sto: t
time since he was one Of the most pro-
minent "market hunters" in this sec
tion, and would now if he did not
make mo'e money by bringing "wag"n
loads of hunters, "and "troops Of dogs"
here from the cities, to kill the game he
''roars" SO about. Iwould like to ask
the people of this section which they
would rather have the game? The
local hunter who spends the money he
makes here in town, and is careful not
to drive through grain, or do damage
Of any kind, or to have "wagon l"ade''
Of hunters, and "troOps of dogs'' ctme
from the cities who care for nobody

MIR. F.. CONE REPLIES.
THE FARMERS VIEWS.

EDITOR ADvANCE:-In your last is-
sue. MIR. Henry rwi.cheli refers to my
article of the week before. aid Says
that objected to the enforcing Of the
law. If he will look at what wrote, he
will find that he has misstated me, AID
that merely referred 10 the enforcing
Of the law in that instance, rs bringing
the subject Of game preservation BE-
fore the public, and inciting me to
speak my mind on the subject. Mr..
rwitchell says that lie agrees with me-
that the chicken must 60 if not protec-
ted. Then to find where We differ
think we must 60 lack to the title of
my first article, "Who shall have the
cl,ickens?" Mr.. Twitchell, if under
stand him. speaks for the sportsnen,
and cites the fact of their having been
the controlling influence in framing
our game laws. Presumably, lie means
that class Of gentlemen from the cities
who spend few weeks in the country
during the hunting season.
make my plea for the farmers. and
farmers boys, on whose lands the birds
are raised, who have but limited time
for hunting. and who, if the game is
continually harried by professional
hunters and sportsmen have little
cnance to get any. Also for local
sportsmen, whose time is usually oc-
cupied with their usual business. who,
if there were a prospect of sport, would
enjoy an occasional outing to shoot
over the places of their country friends.
I contend that unless the farms are
posted, few days will suffice to kill
and scatter what chickens there are. so
that only those who are supplied with
the best of dogs and guns can hope to
bag them. Speaking for the farmers, l
think it is entirely just and right, ss it
is in accordance with the law, that lie
should post his lands, allowing there
whom he chooses to shoot over them,
and if sportsmen wish to hunt over a
mans place, let them get permission
of him, and doubtless he would accept
courtesy il they should leave part of
the chickens where they go. am
pleased to say that my suggestion as to
posting, is, learned, received with
favor by nearly, IL not all the farmers
At least it is so in this vicinity, and
prospects are that the prairie chickens
will be protected through this section
OF the country as they never have been
before. .
MIR. Twitchell says that am certain.
ly laboring under mistaken impres,
sion as to how game should be preser-
we'd. He doubtless knows that it has
been reported in the past that, as the
open season approached quantities oi
chickens were on ice waiting to be
shipped as soon as the law would per
nit, that there was going out te
shoot ducks and plover Il? aud coming
back with the secret compartment,
; under the seats Of the rigs filled will
chickens. But IL Mr.. Twitcheh con-
i tinues to carry out the law with th,
, spirit and efficiency already shown
there will be less occasion for sucf
tales In the future. &.
In his efforts to stop that sort Of do

MISTAKEN ACTION;

A mistake in political action may
be honestly committed, but the
honesty of intent Of the voter who
makes the mistake, does not pre-
vent the mischief resultant from it.
A few days ago a New York man
ufacturer was obliged to close his
factory>on account of the string
ency of the money market He
called his employees, ninety in
number, together, and counselled
with them on the situation. Among
other things he asked his men how
many of them voted last fall in fa-
'vor of protection of home indus
tries, and only seven of them con-
fessed to having voted with the
party of protection. Thus, eighty
three men voted for the free-trade
policy which destroys their indus
tries. They acted honestly enough,
but they threw themselves out OF
employment thereby. If their en-
ployers, prior to the election, had
ventured to tell these men of the
result of their mistake, they would
have been charged with attempt
ing to intimidate their workmen
and interfering with their political
freedom, an offense not easily for
given. But the result is none the
less severe. They are now idle
They were deceived. They meant
we'll. But they must eat the fruit
of their own mistake. By the way
it is strange anomaly in Ameri.
can affairs that so many mechanics
and other workers seem bent or
embarrassing their employers i1
every way possible. If such timei
as we are passing through shall
suggest the necessity of a radica
change in this respect, it will b.
worth the cost of the painful disci
pliue we are UNDERGOING.

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.


Speaker Crisp has made the
most sectional distribution of leg
islative positions and honors that
has been known in the last thirty
five years. Out of fifty chairman
ships of committees thirty 60 to
the south, and these are mainly
the most important to the business
of the north. The solid south is
in command of the House. Two
prominent northern Democrats,
Springer and Holman, have been
set aside from the prominent COM
mittees, and have been courteously
but firmly relegated to committees
of small influence and importance.
The state of Virginia has received
five ohairmanships. The vast re-
gion extending from Iowa and
Minnesota to the Pacific coast has
not a single craftsmanship of any
committee, while three apiece are
given to Alabama, Kentucky, Mis-
souri,, Tennessee and Texas. The
tariff is committed to tho tender
mercies of Mr.. Wilson, of West
Virginia, the most ultra free-trader
in Congress. On his committee
are five southerners, and one New
Yorker, who will give the Repub-
hcan minority small chance to de-
fend the interests of manufactures
in the north.
One of the anomalous things in
this arrangement of the commit
tees is that while Springer and
Holman have been hurled out o]
their old chairmanships, with little
courtesy and no remorse, Mr.
Bland, of Missouri, the apostle o1
free and unrestricted silver, who
threatens the disruption of the
Democratic party if silver is fur

The anarchists arc working like
demons to bring about an era of
bloodshed. When times are good
they proclaim them bad, and when
they are bad they make them ap-
pear worse than they actually are.
They are taking advantage of the
stoppage of factories and other in
dustrial enterprises to array pro-
cessions of the unemployed with
red flags and inflammatory mot
toes, and by incendiary harangues
to madden those who listen to
them so that death and destruction
may intensity the gloom of the
times. In Newark, N. j., and
New York City the anarchists
have been specially active and
spiteful. Emma Goldman, the
wife of the man who is now in q
Pennsylvania prison for trying to
kill Fl. G. Frick, has been a prom
inent screecher at these meetings.
It is reported that she is to be, if
she has not been already, put un-
der arrest. These professions
flaunt the black flag as the sign OF
hunger and extreme suffering.
Whatever lack of bread there may
be at their homes, there seems to
be no lack of beer or whiskey in
| their stomachs. All this is full OF
threatening and evil, especially in
our great cities. We have nursed
this demon of spite and destruc.
ton to sturdy maturity by ou1
tolerance toward it under the guise
of free speech for redress of griev-
ances. Anarchy is alien to this
American soil. It is the spawn o1
the combined despotism, ignorance
and atheism of foreign lands
While we, as nation, have beer
trying to fence out the most pa
tient, inoffensive and industrious
people who have come to oul
shores, we have flattered and ca
joled the most idle, intemperat'
and viciously unreasonable swarm'
of anarchists. We have sown tn,
wind, and it will be strange if W
do not reap the whirlwind. I
will be wonderful if the dynamite
of the rioter and the torch of tn
incendiary do not make the street
| of our cities lurid. with fame an,

dead. :.5.s~-.-. s.,

British Grain Trade.

LONDON, July 24-The Marx Lane Err
press, in its weekly review Of the British
grain trade, saws: Five million OF the
estimated yield Of 100000 quarters OF
British wheat have been garnered. The
remaining 100000 quarters which are yet
to be gathered in the north Of England and
ireland will be above the average in quail
itv. The sunny weather that has prevail
ed tor three weeks has increased the MILL
ing value of English wheat almost every,
where. This is likely to produce a good
demand for English wheat at the expense
OF the imported grain. Millers will en-.
deavor to buy up the bulk of the crop at
from PCS "a per quarter. American and
Indian wheats are again Cd lower, large
American shipments forcing the decline.
The Continental inquiry for Australian
and Argentine red winter fell greatly DUR
ing the week.
