FISH AND GAME LAWS.
Commissioner Carleton Codifes Them
and Makes Suggestions
That Will Be Of Interest to Every Sportsman
and Arouse Discussion.

Hon. l.. T. Carleton, chairman of
the board of inland fisheries and game,
has just completed table involving
a very great amount of careful study
and consolidation of all the laws re-
lating to inland fisheries and game,
with such amendments as it is pro-
posed to ask the Legislature to enact
into laws, many glaring defects and
contradictory enactments are said to
have been found.
The changes which it is proposed to
ask are as follows: A As hours open
weekly time for salmon on the Penob-
scot. kennebec, Androscoggin and
St. CroiX rivers, the law at present APP
plies to all rivers of the State with
the exception of these. A reduction
from % to Is pounds of trout and sal
mon that may be caught in one day or
transported at any one time, making
close time on landlocked salmon and
trout commence the 18th of Septem-
Der all over the State, such has been
the law in kennebec county for many
years, open time to commence on
white perch June 15 instead of July

a perpetual close time on all trbu-

utaries. The bounty on bears is re-
commended to be repealed
Absolute imprisonment of not less
than 80 nor more than 90 days for the
Illegal hunting or killing of moose and
caribou. perpetual close time on COW
and calf moose, and the month of No
vember only in which to hunt bull
moose.
In the transportation of moose full
evidence attached of the sex of the
bun moose. shall accompany it during
transportation.
Market men and provision dealers
having an established place of bust
ness in this State may have one bull
moose. one caribou and two deer or
parts thereof at a time for sale at re-
tail to their local customers provided
they have procured license therefor
from the commissioners, and if any
such marketman violates the law in
this respect. he shall be debarred for
five years from the privileges of this
section.
Guides are required to be licensed
as we'll as keepers of hunting lodges,
amps. etc.
Dogs are not to be taken to or kept
n these places without special permit
rom the commissioners.
The number of cartridges and wood
cock that can be killed or had in pos
,pen season would begin Sept. Is and
lose Dec. i.
Mr.. Carleton says he does not fiatter
himself that his proposed amendments
will meet with universal favor, but he
suggests them thus early, so that the
public may have time TO study them,

The bill introduced in our Legisla-
ture by Hon. Charles Smith, pub
lished in another column, has been
dismissed and no further yindication
of our right to criticise it, is needed,
perhaps, than that DR.. Smith voted
for its dismissal. Nor were we
ignorant, as he presumes, of its
provisions, when the editorial article
was penned of which he complains.
We knew then as well as we do now
that the bill, if enacted, would give
the railroad company the right to
obstruct the road unless it was
objected to, for five minutes, and
with the honest conviction that no
privilege ought to be granted, which
would give the company an excuse
for encroaching upon the rights of
the people, we said so. We were,
however, ignorant of the fact that
DR.. Smith, introduced the bill by
request and did not approve it, and
We know that "he does not wish to
enact laws abridging the public
liberties of the people" But the
Doctor might make mistakes, as we
feared he had in this instance, and if
he should, our duty to the public
demands that instead of giving him
Objectionable measure he might
approve. 1t is possible, perhaps,
that its dismissal was fastened by
the criticism Of which he complains.
With the explanation that DR.. Smith
has given, our criticism, would not
apply to him but to the bill only.
We disclaim any intention of treat
ing him unfairly.

The report recently made to the
Richmond Dispatch by the cores
pondent from this county to the
effect, that, Rev. George w. Jones,
pastor of the Drummondtown Ii. E.
Church, South, announced to his
congregation lately that the theme
for his discourse On the following
Sunday would be, 1.-THE girl I left
behind me-" was wholly unjust. If
the correspondent was imposed upon,
he should hasten to correct the mis-
take-if it was intended by him as a
joke, it was, to say the least of it,
a very cruel one. His subject, we
are advised by many present, was
simply Lots Wife, and it is hard
to conceive how it could be distorted
into The girl left behind me-" In
making the correction, it is due to
Mr. Jones to say, that he is in no
sense a sensational preacher, and
neither seeks or desires notoriety,
but impresses everyone who comes in
contact with him as an humble fol-
lower of. the Master whom he loves
and serves.

The Senate Election Inv.

The principal change made in the
present law under this bill is that the
especial constable featuren is abol-
ished, and the following provision is
inserted in lieu thereof:
AT the request of any elector who
may be physically or educationally
unable to vote, either of the judges
of election that he may select shall
enter the booth and render him as,
sistance by reading the names and
pointing them out to him, and other
wise aid him in preparing his ballot.
The judge so selected shall not in any
manner divulge or indicate, by signs
or otherwise, the names or names OF
the person or persons for whom any
elector voted, under penalty OF con
finement in Jail for not less than one
or more than twelve months.
Another important change is that
it provides for the manner in which
the electors for President and Vice
President shall be voted for which
was omitted in the Walton law. The
provision in regard to this requires
that the names of electors shall be
printed under the names of the can
didates of the respective parties and
the electors shall strike out the can
didate for President and Vice Presi-
dent of the political party or parties
that he does not wish to vote for, and
the ballots shall be counted as they
would be counted if the names OF the
electors had been scratched.
The other changes in the present
law are as follows:
The type in which the ballots are
prited shall be plain Roman type,
not smaller than plea
The printer is required to destroy
all perfect and imperfect impressions,
other than those required to be de-
livered to the electoral board.
In case of the sickness or inability
of the county or corporation judge
TO discharge his duties with the elec'
tions board, that some other Judge
shall perform the duty.
In case of the inability or sickness
