Hunntig the Cheetah.

Christ Sehmick of Emlenton, who is
now drilling well in India. writes home
as follows:
Khodaung, Burmah, Aug. ., 1894.
On Saturday, the 2sth of July, we had a
| little excitement. About noon Buman
from Beme came up to where | was drill
ing and asked me to go cut in the jungle to
| shoot a cheetah He told me the cheetah
had been seen that morning and they (the
| Burmese) knew very near where it was
and thought they could beat it out, so
concluded to try my luck on him anyhow,
not expecting To see him as / have been
out several times and never saw one till
| this time.
We started about twelve o'clock and ar
| rived in due time at Minlindawn, a high
hill about two miles from KhOdaung. Here
we stopped for rest and to wait for the
rest OF the beaters to come, of which we
| had about fifty.
| When the rest of the beaters came up we
started on and finally arrived at the place
of action, which was a sort OF basin with
| high ground all around and a creek on
each side coming together at the southern
| point. The jungle was pretty thick. l
was stationed at the confluence of the
| creeks at the southern point, the beaters
| being strung along the northern side on
high ground At the word they started
| yelling at the top of their voices and com
| ing towards me throwing stones every
| place. When this had been kept up for
about half an hour and nothing came got
tired waiting and thought they had been
over every inch of ground in the place. |
crossed the creek bed and was up on the
| point between the creeks when the alarm
was sounded. He had been started and
went up the creek instead of coming down
and | started after HIM and was well up
| the creek when the beaters above said he
was coming back and | stopped but could
only see the creek for about two or three
| yards, and he got past ne without my get
| ting a shot at him and | started down the
creek again but had only gone few yards
| when he jumped out of the creek bed aud
attempted TO cross in front OF me to thick
clump of jungle, when | at once opened
fire on him with my Winchester go caliber
| Express) the first shot missed, the second
one cut the skin on the back of his neck
and the third one struck him just behind
the heart and he jumped in the brush
where we could not see him. Not know
ing whether he was hurt or not no one felt
| like going too near he place as 1t Is very
dangerous to go near an enraged cat. so
the beaters stoned the place and sent the
dogs in, but nothing came out except the
dogs, and they showed no evidence OF vio-
lence. This was kept up about half an
hour, " hen finally We peeped around and
ventured pretty close. when we saw him
lying there dead and went in and pulled
him out He stood 20 inches at the
shoulders, and was six feet from tip of tail
to tip of nose. This ended the cheetah
| hunt. The man that started him got
slightly bitten across the forearm, leaving
three big teeth marks This was the only
person hurt l will get bounty of TWEEN
ty rupees from the government for killing
the animal.

Tariff and England.

Chauncy NJ. Depew has reached New
York from England, and in speaking OF
business conditions said: "In England
the tariff was the one absorbing topic be-
fore the Wilson bill became a law. | met
one of the oldest members Of the House OF
Commons at lunch and he said: Gan L
care about your country is To know wheth-
er you are going to let my wool into yO1r
market or not The conditions in Europe
for the past year and since the enactment
of the measure demonstrate how depen-
dent the industries and business of the
old world are upon trade with the new
Our commercial depression has found its
counterpart on the other side. The trade
OF nations has not yet adjusted itself to
the instantaneous ntercommunication
which virtually makes all the world one
market Difference of cost in raw materi-
al, of labor and of living become inextrica-
bly, jnmbled and confused, and tariff laws
and revenue restrictions have not wholly
solved the problem Unless We can pro-
tect ourselves in some way, the cheapest
section of This market will govern every
part of it. 1t is not ghastly conceil, but
a serious question for the statesman and
the economist if the people of China or
India, who will work for cents and live
on ,, are to supply the manufactures of
the future"

A VOTE for the Democratic party this
fall implies approval of the German tariff
and of the legislative scandals accompany
ing its passage. No honest Democrat can
evade his political obligation to pass judg-
ment upon the work done by his party at
Washington. He must either sign the
German bill or veto it by his ballot in Nov
ember, or else he can do what the Presi-
dent did in neither signing nor vetoing it
-he may stay away from the polls alto

on which the starry additions can be made
to the flag. The probability is that there
will be at least three stars added by the
Fourth of July. 1895. The admission OF
Utah will doubtless be followed by the ad-
mission of New Mexico and Oklahoma.
