Ca, his kidneys became affected and this
finally developed into spinal disease, which
lasted through his army service. In '66 he
Was mustered out and entered Jefferson
Medical College, Phila., as a student from
which he graduated two years later. The
remainder Of the story is best told in his own
words:

Of Philadelphia. He made an exhaustive
examination Of my case, and announced
that my trouble was caused by infamma-

The Independent citizen, one Of Rhode

in the following concise sentence.
People who try to trace every evil in
the world to the liquor traffic do not
help the cause of prohibition. The
masEes will not follow narrow leader.
ship. 10 Is never safe to do it. People
love fairness even towards political
questions. and speakers and writers who
are partial In their treatment Of reforms
lose their hold on public confidence
Great expressions were in the world long
before tbe organized liquor traffic
which we are lighting to day
and it Is our duty 20 oppose
every form Of oppression Such talk as
this is sensible, the trouble being with
Prohlbitionists that they can see no other
sin In the world but intompsrance Men
Of more enlarged Views are aware that
the cause Of temperance can never be
served by the unfair methods adopted by
those who claim to be It's especial cham-
plons. Liquor drinking Is bad enough
but It is by no means the only sin that
should receive the attention Of reformers.

however, that newspapers are made for
readers and not readers for newspapers.
tits a deplorable fact that the Ameri.
can reading public Graves sensational
articles and demands them. II one paper
will not publish them another viii, aud
in this day OF great newspaper enter
prise and competition nearly al papers
are unconsciousiy drifting into sensa-
tionalism not dreamed Of a quarter Of a
century ago. The details Of an outrage
against womans chastity; the full story
OF q murder or suit for divorce are more
eagerly read than the best sermon OF the
day to be found Ia the same paper IL 10
doplorable, but,it Is true Even should
All the Delaware papers eliminate this
class OF news from their columns, the
morbid minds OF Delawareans would
find consolation In the stories Of crime
and immortality published in the grest
metropolitan dailles which havo men
stationed all over the globe to gather
news In general and sensations in par
ticulsr. The mails are loaded with them
the telegraph instruments are sending
them to all parts Of the globe and the
cables which cross the Atlantic are
constantly flashing upon the mirror the
dark particulars OF crime and immortality.
So it has been, so It Is and so it viii be
for many years to come until the mind
OF the general newspaper reader gets q
surieit Of sensation and longs FOR some
thing better When that day shall
come the newspapers win bo only too
glad to drop that part OF their service

THE NEW LAW.

Cutting off the Practice That Ruins
 the Trout Streams.
 The amendments of the game laws which apply to the trout sections are designed to cut off the murderous practice or catching for number which has so depleted our trout streams.
 The bill forbids the retension of any trout below six inches, and also the taking of trout from public waters to stock private ponds-a practice that has kept many brooks stripped for years. Public houses near trout streams are in the habit of getting up ''trout suppers" for guests. Two or three boys are started out in the morning. They return in the afternoon with 100 or 200 year or less old, which are fried to a crisp, and each guest eats 10 or Is, and thus the stock of the stream is destroyed in it's infancy.
 Trout eight or nine inches long will not do. Three to five inch fellows must be caught and fried. These are gorged, heads, bones and all. This is the kind of fishing that defeats the purpose of artificial culture. It is the large trout that should be taken not the small ones. When a trout reaches the weight of two pounds or over he will destroy more of his kind in a year than he can produce. So far the new law has operated we'll. The weather conditions have been such that it could not well do otherwise.
