The following sensible editorial ap-
peared in the Sacramento Bee: ut is
all we'll enough to frame laws for the
protection of game, but protest should
be made against enactlng any Statute
upon this subject which will be a hard
ship upon the poor. We had enough of
that in the Emeric bill of last session.
There be some 'sportsmen' who would
not permit q man to go cunning unless
he wore the latest hunting suit, or to
fish if he had not provided himself with
stylish red, tackle and bait. The laws
which too many of. these specimens
clubs are in favor of enacting are not
for the protection of fish and game, but
for the preservation and perpetuation Of
a monopoly by the privileged few of the
pleasures of fishing and cunning"
The foregoing fits the Nevada fish law
which was very evidently made to suit
the time, convenience and pleasure of a
few nabobs up the stream whose knowl-
edge of fish extends to THAT is a trout

The new war cry in Washington is
"Recipracity and Silver. The recent
conversion of Lodge and Reed. to the
cause of b~i-metallism is the sensation
of the hour. That the big man from
Maine has the presidential bee buzz
ing in his new spring bonnet is well
known. Reed is too shrewd a man
not to see the value OF the west and
northwest and now having as he says
studied the question he thinks the
two questions identical and that they
rise and fall together. At any rate
this is looked upon as a great concess-
ion to the silver sentiment and is a
result of the direct stand taken by
Nevada and other silver States. Reed
and Lodge now bow in humble sub
mission and il the club is still main
tanned by an independent attitude of
the west the two great parties will
within . year be falling owe one an.
other in their hurry to take up the
Silver question.
Francis q. Newlands is looked upon
in the House as one of its ablest of
the new members. The circle of his
acquaintanceship extends to both par
ties being hampered by no partisan
ties. he receives favors from both sides.
Most any time he can be seen in con-
ference with Richardson or Mcmillan
or De Witt Warner on the Democrat
side or with Reed or Dingley or Paine
on the Republican. There is a warm
friendship between him and Richard
son of Tennessee who generally has
the chair and always recognizes Mr..
Newlands when ne desires to be heard.
His usefulness is greatly enhanced by
his growing popularity which will, in
the next House make him u leading
member.
A very pathetic occurrence happen.
ed in this City quite recently. A
man OF good appearance was picked
up Unconscious in the grounds of the
Smithsonian Institute. He was taken
TO the emergency hospital where it
was found that he vas suffering from
coma, the result Of starvation. On
his person were found letters from his
wife in Virginia appealing for, money
stating that herself and children were
living upon a crust of bread. The man
had been without food for four days
and fell from sheer exhaustion. He
was too proud to beg, too honest to
steal and too manly to join the "In-
dustrlai Army" Stranger than fic-
ton is seems that within this beauti-
full city where wealth and luxury
abound that u human being should
starve to death. His case attracted

ty-four hours subscriptions amounting
to over 5000 had been sent into the
fund aud his wife and children reliev-
ed from their sufferings. The heart of
humanity is warm and such trivial
circumstances but reveal the generos-
ity of the middle classes for it was
from their ranks that the generous
contributions came. Yet probably
this is but Il single case that reaches
our notice of the thousands who are
today suffering the pangs OF hunger
in the large cities of the East.

Symbols of the aCIoud Eire.r

Nearly all of the ancient nations called lightning by names signifying "clOud fire, " and the major portion of them cm- ployed some symbol to represent the flash of the ''forkcd fury darting from the thundcrclouds. The early Chaldcans symbolizcd it with n trident, and tho Babylonians, learned in mystic lore, em ployed a human hand for the same pur- pose. The bas- -reliefs of the towers of Nimrud and Malthia, which are the work of the later and more refined Assyrian art ists, show the trident doubled or trans formed into what is known as n ''trifid fascicle" This triumph of the classic art secured for the ancient Mesopotamian sym bol the advantage over all other represen- tatiOns of the thunderbolt. The Greeks represented the ''storm fire with the feath- CTS of bird of prey. Later on, when they had begun to incorporate the Asiatic form of the symbol with their own, they put it in the claws of an eagle and made it the sceptcr of Zeus. Gaul received the symbol from Italy, but soon altered 1t to the fa- miliar two headed hammer so common on Gallo Roman monuments. The same sym bol is seen on amulets found in Germany, Scandinavia, England and France.-St. Louis Republic.

Gold Carvings of Human Eyes.

The Nile river exploring cxpclition sent out in the spring by the London Anthro- biological society report some wonderful finds" among the old deserted tombs of tho pharanhs. Near Carnac and also at Hcvlch they found dozens of curious cary ings on gold which were perfect rcpreson- tati0ns of tho human eye. Some of these queer plates represented the left eye, but the majority seem to have been intended for the right optic. The work Is bcauti- fully executed, the brows, lids and pupils being deeply carved on rectangular plates of hammered gold. Each plate seems to have originally been provided with either a notch or n tongue, the idea being per haps to fit them together in pairs, each right to its proper left. What they could have ever been used for is only n matter of conjecture, opinions on that score wide ly differing -St. Louis Republic.
