Ostrich Farming In California.

Most people, says Harper's Weekly, have
heard something Of ostrich farming in
South Africa. but few. comparatively, know
that within the last ten years ostriches have
been imported into southern California and
thrive well in that beautiful climate 81

was a sight we'll worth seeing in the morn
inRs when some fifty birds were let out of
the paddock. where they had passed
the night, into the pasture or
field. The whole troop with wings
outspresd, their long white plumes waving,

several times round the field at a pace that

the finish. This would invariably be fol

Is sometimes necessary 10 carry a long

they are literally 'choksd off by the appii-

even a small farm of twenty acres, highly

CONCERNING LIFE.

II seems TO bs fairly settled among those
who reflect upon tho subject that there
mover was q time in ths worlds history 40
well worth living in 40 the pressnt,-Chi-
osgo Mail.
We don't know about that.
There are times IN the history OF VIC
torious democracy when life seems but
little more than the poets empty dream.
The democrats OF Montana are just now
suffering with a peculiar phase Of mel
ancholia. With the friendly assistance
of populists their representatives can
elect a democratic United States sena-
tor, They can wear the laurels Of we'll
earned victory, emove one stain from
Montana's e~seutcheon, show to the
world that her democrats are worthy
the name.
But nine men refuse to do this. They
make plentiful promises and tell us that
everything will be all right, but they
fail to elect a senator because they are
a hopeless minority. In the meantime
the republican heart strengthens and
the republican brain is busy scheming
to make use of democratic folly.
How long will this continue and when
will that tired feeling of democracy dis
appear? When will life again be worth
the living?

The WAYS of the Cz ar.

The cars daily habits of life are those
of q pope rather than of q secular monarch,
his relsxations those Of a prisoner rather
than OF a p~otentate. When residing at
CATCHING he generally rises at seven q. NJ,
whereas few noblemen in the capital leave
their beds much before midday, and I am
personally acquainted with two who rise
with the regularity of olookwork at three
o'clock every day. He then takes a quiet
stroll in the uninterestinR we'll watched

engages in severe manual labor ~ a prepa-
ration for the official work of The day.
The latter consists mainly in the reading

and rropriety to scorn. Those who main
tain that he is kept in complete or even par
tial ignorance of the cruel measures adopted
in his name. or else that his boosted love of
his people ID but the varnish Of hypocrisy,
are az much astray in the matter of fact 80
in their appreciation. C~old-bloodsd cruelty
or savage hatred is not the correct manner
Of the motives that inspired the slaughter
Of the Amalekites by Saul, or the autos da
fe of Arbues de Epila. and it should not be
forgotten that there is q moral ailmsnt
called a false conscience, the effect of which
is TO poison the action without vitiating its
source. Men never do wrong SO
thoroughly and SO cheerfully," says Pascal.
''as when they are obeyinR the prompsings
of q false principle of conscience"
To fancy, therefore, as many English
optimists do, that the emperor needs onlv

peal the cruel laws and remodel the system
of government which il running his people

LEGISLATION NEEDED NOW,

The establishment OF a government
fish hatchery at Bozeman was the right
move. 1t is needed in this state, is we'll
located, and if rightly managed should
go a long way toward preserving the
royal sport of old Izaak Walton in Mon
a streams.
But we submit that it is the duty of
the Montana legislature to render an
assistance absolutely necessary and
without which the governments efforts
will be fruitless. Several years ago the
Missouri river between Great Falls and
Cascade was stocked with thousands Of
young fish from government h%atoheries.
Irrigation bitches were opened without
screens which the law requires shall be
used, and in a very short time the gov
ernment's work was destroyed. The
fish ran through the main ditch into
the branches and on the ground, where
they were left to die. This is not only
true of this section OF the Missouri river,
but of all other streams wherever the
owners OF irrigation plants have failed
to comply with the laws.
Now, then, are we to expect any bet
ter results from the establishment OF
the new fish hatchery If our legislators
will not furnish means for the enforce
ment of the laws? Is 1T not the duty of
our legislature to assist the government
in every possible way in its efforts to
hold Montana's reputation as the para
disc of sportsmen?
1t might as we'll be understood that
work in this direction should be done
now or not at all. Before the next leg
~islative session the damage to fish and
game interests in this state will be be-
yond repair. AS The INDEPENDENT has
frequently shown, fish and game are
being slaughtered each day of the year
from one end of the state to the other.
If it is not soon stopped opportunities
for honest sport will be gone forever.
AS has been often said, the difficulty is
not with the laws but with the inability
or failure of officers to enforce them.
There is no lack Of officers, but they are
not Of the right sort. These men are
always candidates for reelection and
are quite willing to overlook the game
laws in their efforts to hold votes. The
officer needed is a state game warden,
whose business it will be to hunt out
offenders and prosecute them. A few
convictions only will be needed to pro.
duce the right effect. The expense to
the state need not be very great and 1T
would certainly seem that the state can
stand it when we remember that nearly
$4,000 was expended by the state of
Colorado last year for the protection of
game.
Let the right bill be prepared and
passed without delay.
