POOR PETE.
HowitZer Hunter st. Clair Doesn't Lik'
the Game Law.

Howitzer Hunter st. Clair Doesn't Like
the Game Law.
Pete ST. Clair, one of the class who
used to slaughter ducks in this county
with howitzers, but who had his big
guns carted off to the wilds of Sutter
when it got too hot here for his kind,
has succeeded in securing the publica-
ton Of a lot Of rot that someone wrote
for him about the game law and which
he had been trying for two months past
to get into print
This game slaughterer Of course
doesn't like the game law It was not to
be expected he would Laws of this
kind are made necessary, however
simply because there are few Pete St
Clairs left in the tules
Referring to an article in this paper
in advocacy of game protection, he
ventures the assumption that the writer
is a sporting man. That's where Pete
displays his ignorance Of his subject
For his Benefit it may be remarked here
that sporting man" is a gambler
Probably Pete meant sportsman, ,
but man who doesn't know the diff
ference between the two should, when
he selects someone to write up his arti-
cles for him, choose a person who knows
more about the subject than he does
himself
1t certainly is rather severe on Pete
and others Of the tule dwellers that
the law does not allow them to employ
their howitZers on ducks at all seasons
OF the year, but what are they going to
do about it?

to return the compliment, and the pres

purpose. 1t had been at first intended
to receive the visitors in the day time
and give them banquet at night, but
as that would interfere with their itin-

to give them breakfast at the Sutter

the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis

everywhere esteemed so highly by all

effects are due to the fact, that it is the

.EREE CHERCHES.


 Much can be said in favor of free churches. Cyrus T. Brady, Archdea- con of Pennsylvania, argues urgently against the pew-renting system and in favor of free churches It is true, he satirically says. that under the pew renting system the money comes easier, the pastor has less trouble, the church member is freed from any heart-search- ing inquiries as to whether he is doing as much as he ought for the spreading of the gospel and the social status of the parish is conserved, undesirable persons not being brought into the com munion os the saints. The last is the great evil of the system, MT. Brady thinks. It is the creation of a priviIeg- ed class in the church. The only aris- tocracy in this country is one of wealth, he says, and by renting to those able to pay for pews which the poorer men cannot occupy the church does more to array the classes against the masses than Mr. Bryan and all his insidious appeals. The question is not simply a financial question. it is moral ques- tion, question involving right or wrong conduct For the church to be false to its past by exchanging that
 
 equality-which is. of course, coupled with an obligation of honor that each member shall contribute so far as is in his ability, not according to any assess ment or tariff-for financial privileg- ed class is retrogression, which will utterly destroy our hopes for the fu- ture."
 We don't think that the pew-repting system is entirely responsible for the lack of interest in Sunday religious meetings and the increase of interest in Sunday bicycling, but the theory that there should be no admission fee to and no reserved seats in a meeting house is an attractive one. On the other hand, it can be said that the privileges of the gosper' are well worth paying something for.

justing the prices of his commodities takes good care to provide a generous margin for possible fluctuations in gold. Of the effect on the wage-earner, MT. Fishback says: The man who in the States to-day gets $40 month would receive about $1O0 in paper in the Ar penses. His morning paper costs s cents, his street car fare Is 10 cents, his package of cigarettes Is 25 cents, his shoes cost $15, his suit of clothes costs $60, his hat costs $12, his board and lodging cost $50, g. pair of gloves costs $4 and cigar costs 90 cents. And so on throughout the whole list of his expenses, prices are far in excess of the increased amount of his wages. If through domestic troubles or through some disturbance in foreign relations gold goes up five or ten points, prices are quick to respond, but wages remain the same; and if gold drops ten points, prices remain at the higher stage, and the purchasing power of the wage is lessened to that extent. Business of all kinds is in a continuous state of un- rest

 to him and it was a full half hour be-
 fore he grew tired of the sport. I ex-
 peeted he would turn to me sooner or
 later. but the native saw the change of demeanor first, and called:
 Master, the hiloweele Is going to
 play with you. Be as clay in his pow err"
 The tiger suddenly left his last fish

 head under my left arm, and am tell
 ing you the solemn truth when I say
 that smoothed down his fur as if he

 straw hat, and this he got hold of in
 his teeth and played with it for ten
 minutes, or until he had torn it all to
 pieces. had no more bait to fish with,
 and sat there waiting for the tigers
 next move.
 When he had finished the hat he came
 over and rubbed his head against me, and purred in pleased way, and rubbed him with my hand from nose to trail I gradually got over my scare, but
 was yet very anxious to know how the
 affair would end. The sun was getting
 well up and very hot, and the beast would soon be seeking his lair In about thirty minutes from the time he | appeared the tiger began to show a change of demeanor. He became ner- vous and uneasy, and the hair on his back stood up at intervals. I judge
 that he got the scent of my servant,
 and such proved to be the case. I dared not rise to my feet, but
 made up my mind that if the tiger att | tackled me should make spring off the bank into the river It was infested with crocodiles. but there was not 1 much choice between being eaten by
 beast or saurian.
 Once the tiger glared at me and growled, but the next moment whined
 as if afraid, and edged up toward me
 as if for protection. The servant had
 been keeping a watchful eye on my strange playmate, and he now believed
 that the time had come for decisive &C., ton. He therefore fired his pistol and shouted at the top of his voice. The ef- feet was immediate. The beast dropped his tail, uttered a long-drawn whine, and with sort of farewell glance at
 me he bolted for the forest and disap- peared. had looked him over pretty well and noticed among other things that he had broken claw on the right paw.

She will even smile back at the Boy Orator in glowing and gener- ous reciprocity.

An important decision, affecting the status of soldier pensions, was recently rendered by the Supreme court of Iowa. The State maintains a Soldiers Home, the trustees of which, acting under au- thority granted by the'legislature, have been retaining from the pensions of in mates who have no dependent relatives all in excess of SC a month. The ag- grieved pensioners took the case to the District court and secured permanent injunction on the trustees, Judge Hind man holding that officers of a State in stitution can interfere in no way with pensions granted by the general gov ernment. This decision is completely reversed by the Supreme court, which holds that the State is providing for the maintenance of the old soldiers who are in the Home, and that it would be manifst injustice to require society to support them twice, once with their pensions and again with the facilities of the Home.

THE BLESSINGS OF SILYER.

It has been made plain to the people of this country that Mexico is not paradise because it is silver country, Some more reliable testimony concern- ing the blessings of silver comes from the Argentine Republic. The members of the Committee of the National Asso- tion of Manufacturers who have been travelling through South America in search of opportunities for building up trade have obtained some information about the condition of wage workers under an inflated currency system which is well worth the attention of our voters at this time. It appears that in Argentina, where business is done with a 3S-cent dollar, the work ingmen get on the average about two and half times the wages paid in the United States fer the same kinds of labor. But the buying power of the wages suffers from silver. There is constant speculation in gold. In trade "the exporter sells his merchandise for gold and pays the labor in paper" The importer has to buy in gold. and in ad-
