Forbid the Sale of Came.


That live organization, the Yer

with which to stock the woods of

to secure the passage of law for
bidding the sale of game? The

4 Shining Exception.
1t is worthy of note that one
Massa chusetts republican congress
man refused to follow his party
friends in voting for the income tax
amendment to the Wilson bill He is
Mr.. Samuel w Mccall of the Sth
district Mr. Mccall is entitled to
to the honor, in this act, of refusing
to subordinate principle to politics,
and even on the ground of policy he
has shown more sagacity than his
political associates. Mr.. Mccall is
as thorough republican as there is
in the Massachusetts delegation, but
he IS sufficiently independent to re-
fuse to act in this matter against
what he deems the public good. We
are inclined to believe that there are
more republicans today who wish
that they had shown similar courage
and discretiOn.-[B Boston Herald.
Monument to Political Obsfinacy.
The Wilson bill has not leg left
to stand upon. If it passes, it will
be monument to political OBJ
stinacy. 1t is already strewing the
field with dying industries and dy-
ing men. Millions are remonstrat-
ing against it, and outside of two or
three reform clubs not man has
petitioned for it. Ii the vote of 1892
was an instruction to pass q reform
bill, these uneXampled demonstra-
tions, chiefly by democrats, ought to
be interpreted as instruction to de-
feat this unexpected bill.-[Albert
Clarke in the Forum

4 Just VERDICT.

Justice has finally reached Nc
Kane, the Gravesend political boss.
His face is said to have turned pallid
when, on Monday morning, Justice
Bartlett followed up the jury's YER
dict OF guilty" by sentencing him
to six years Imprisonment at Sing
Sing. 1t was startling surprise to
this bold defer of the peoples SUI
premacy. 1t was also somewhat of
a susprise to the general public, who,
while convinced of the prisoners
guilt, were not so certain that full
measure Of punishment would be
Forthcoming. Justice Bartlett, in
pronouncing sentence, put the mat
ter tersely as follows:
II am not at liberty he said, in
tone of intensity, ito disregard the
recommendation of the jury for mercy.
Nevertheless, in passing sentence, l can
not overlook the great gravity of the
CRIME of which this defendant has been
convicted. The fact that he disobeyed
the laws is more a matter of moment for
the reason that he is an intelligent man
who exercised wide authority and who
knew what the law was. This aggra-
Yates the offence. The sentence should
not be too light lest it could not be a
proper punishment; and, on the other
hand, 1t should not be so severe as to
excite sympathy.
The offence was a serious one, as
has been before suggested, and the
verdict however heavily II NAV fall
upon the respondent, must be re-
garded as a just one. There are
limits beyond which even the politi-
cal boss may not go without run
ming against a power which will not
down-the power OF the people. The
lesson of the McKane verdict is a
wholesome one, and should not be
entirely lost upon the numerous
would-be controllers of political SEN
timent.

M0RGAN's wAIIAN REPORT.

EX-M1nister Stevens has been sub
jected to considerable cheap abuse
IN connection with the Hawaiian
question, but mainly by those who
have investigated his actions with
little or no candOr. Word comes
from Washington, however, that the
report prepared by Senator Morgan
of the foreign relations committee
does not censure Mr. Stevens. but
comments at great length on the
anomalous condition and situation
of affairs at Hawaii both before and
after the events of 18th January, and
takes broad and strong ground on
the American side of the questions
involved" Senator Morgan is not
the only democrat who takes broad
and strong ground on the American
side" OF this important matter, and it
is gratifying to note that the chair
man of the foreign relations COM
mittee looks at the question in so
non-partisan light. His views will
not be endorsed by the close friends
of President Cleveland who take
kindly to the monarchy-restoring
scheme, but they will please the
country at large and will strengthen
the popular belief that the admins
tration committed great blunder
when it moved in behalf of the ex-
queen.

hams rejection to have been well
grounded. One newspaper dispatch
has it that the New York senator ex-
presses himself as satisfied with
what he has accomplished as
against HornblOwer end Peckham,
and says he will not oppose any
further nomination which Mr..
Cleveland may choose TO make.
The spectacle of Hill and the presi-
dent contending thus over candi-
dates for high position, with the
United States senate a the battle
ground, is a discreditab BILE one, and
should be carried no farther. Person
al and political feuds should not
stand as a bar to the advancement of
the nations judiciary interests, and
the dignity OF the upper house is lower
ed by all such performances. There
seems TO have been, generally, no
question of Judge Peckham's quail
fcations for the position. 1t was
simply case of Hill VS. Cleveland,
and the president suffers a second
defeat at the hands of his New York
antagonist. Certainly the demo
ratio congressional entertainment
at Washington includes some unique
features.
The republicans of Burlington
have done we'll in nominating W. J.
Van Patten as their candidate for
mayor, and it is to be hoped that he
will be triumphantly elected. The
Queen City has had a democratic
mayor for two or three years past,
but he has been elected by republi-
can votes. There is nothing about
the qualifications of the present can
didate to preclude the polling of the
full party strength for him. Mr..
Van Patten is d gentleman whose
integrity is unquestioned, and
whose devotion to all the best in
terests Of the Queen City has been
dem onstrated over and over again.
Burlington should elect him by a
large majority.

ANOTHER HILL VICTORY.

Vest-pocket politics scored an
other victory last Friday, when
Senator Hill defeated Judge Peck

bench and demonstrated the depth
and power of his personal grudge
against President Cleveland. Mr.
Hill rallied Al votes against the ad-
ministration's candidate, and the re-
suit shows his confidence in Peck

From more than one direction,
during these days of deep SHOWS and
drifted roads, comes a word of com
mendation for the snow roller. The
continued operations of this imple-
ment since the winter set in have
have brought about a solidity of
road bottom which is appreciated
now when the highways are drifted
SO badly, and when, but for the pre-
vious working of the roller, many of
the roads would be well-nigh impas-
sable. The snow roller has proved
its right to conspicuous place on
the list of desirable town property.
