them. Yet do contend that the press
OF this State is using its mighty power
for good. With their generous aid not
only are railroads, cotton mills, and
new enterprises of all sorts, for the
commercial prosperity Of the commun-
lty, doomed into success, but can say
from personal experience that church-
es, colleges and orphanages have.
through the kindly fostering care of
the editorial fraternity, been nursed
into vigorous life by being granted
that publicity needful for success.
For, my part am not only news

in faith. believe in the press, ard
whether in one line or another with

to PLATE to beg the body of his Lord
that he might wrap 1t In fine linen and
bury 1t In his own tomb where never
laid any other body--new, nice, and
clean 1t was sentiment.
What was it but similar sentiment
that lead the devoted woman to break
the alabaster box OF ointment and
anoint the head of her Lord ? And
when 1t was suggested by some one In
the crowd of q mercenary turn of mind
possibly like the fellow who injected
this subject into this debato) that it
might have been sold and given to the
poor, He said, "Let her alone she
has done what she could; and when
ever; and wherever in all lands and
countries My gospel is preached let
this be told as a memorial of her."
What was it that led those devoted
women to be last at the cross and first
at the sepulcher? 1t was sentiment.
Then do not impugn the motives of
our people for their devotion to their
still to the lost cause. What is it that
fosters your fondest memories around
the place of your birth ? The old
schoolhouse, the old oaken bucket,
even, that hung In the we'll, and even
the old garden gate. Sentiment makes
us respect the living and leads us on
In our pilgrimage, to give decent bu-
rial to the dead, to strew flowers up
on their graves, and to mark their
resting places with monuments as
enduring as marble and as lasting as
brass.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, let me soy, in
conclusion, that no amount of diver
sion can divest this bill of It's vicious
or relieve it from the ap-
pearance Of humbuggery. 1t is o de-
luslon and a snare, with no merit at
all in it, and hope it will be over
wholmingly voted down. (Applause

as many of these men were traine,
soldiers who had been crippled in bat
tie and appointed to places in the de
partments. 1t was dark night, ant
when Dahlgreen's men approached
near enough the Confederates opened
a destructive fire on them, killed ,
number of men and horses and stamp
eded the Federals. They retreate(
north across the Chickabominy, ant
after passing the Pomunky river were
ambushed by some furloughed soldiers
who happened to be in the vicinity
and Learning OF Dahlgreen's movements
prepared to meet him. They killed
| Col. Dahlgreen and number OF his
men, and made prisoners OF more thar
400 of them. These were brought tt
| Richmond, and with them was brought
| the papers and orders showing the
purposes of the raid as above stated
and also the turpentine balls and com
bustible matter to be used in firing the
city. If he had succeeded $4,000
prisoners would have been turned loose
to plumber and burn the city; tens OF
thousands of women and children
would have been made homeless, the
president and his cabinet would have
been killed, and the imagination may
picture such other horrors as might
have been perpetrated.
When the prisoners were brought to
the city and the papers and orders
disclosing the purpose of this raid
were turned over to the Confederate
authorities, together with the COM
bustible matter to be used in burning
the city, all felt that the whole affair,
II 1T had been carried out, would have
been barbarous violation of the laws
and usages of civilized warfare, and
that 1t would have shocked the civil
lied world by its cruel barbarity. The
Federal authorities had on several
previous occasions violated the laws of
war as between civilized nations, and
President Davis had notified President
Lincoln of his purpose, if such prac-
tices were continued to retaliate.
When the foregoing facts came to the
knowledge of the government every
member of Mr.. Davis cabinet united
in calling on him to have these prison
ers draw lots and every tenth man
shot, and that he then notify President
Lincoln what had been done and why
1T was done. Mr.. Davis suggested that
II he had known of the orders under
which these men were acting, it would
nave been right to shoot them down
while they had guns in their hands,
but that he did not think we should
nave undrmeu prisoners SnOG. Inc
members of his cabinet called atten-
tion to previous violations of the laws
of war and President Davis threat of
retaliation. And they insisted that
retaliation alone could arrest such
practices, and that the purpose of this
raid, which the papers showed was
understood by the whole command, and
that the men had volunteered for the
purpose contemplated, made it proper
that we should make an example by
having every tenth man shot. After
the matter had been earnestly discuss
ed, Mr.. Davis ended the discussion by
declaraing, in opposition to the views
OF the cabinet, that he would not have
prisoners shot. But few, if
any, would have agreed with him then.
But now since the passions of war
have died away, we shall perhaps all
say that he did right.

Thomas Estrada Palma, the Cuban
delegate. has returned to Washington,
and speaking of the efforts of Presi-
dent Cleveland to secure concessions
from the Spanish government for the
people Of Cuba he said: "Mr. Cleve-
land is wasting his time. The patriots
In Cuba are fighting for independence
and not for reform. Nothing but indie
pendence or annexation will satisfy
them. They will not lay down their
arms until they have accomplished
their freedom. The only home rule
they will accept is that administered
by magistrates of their own choice,
elected after the withdrawal Of the
Spanish army and all of the officers of
the Spanish government from the
island. President Cleveland is doing
no one q service when he tries to pro-
mote what they call reforms in Cuba.
And unless he is willing to go farther
than that we shall appeal from him to
the American people.

FLIES.-When visiting friend last
summer he called my attention to a
curious plan for preventing the plague
of flies 10 his house. The upper sash
of one Of the windows in his sitting
room being open for ventilation, there
was suspended outside piece of COM
mon fishing net. My friend told me
that not a fly would venture to pass
through 1t. He has watched for an
hour at time, and seen swarms fly to
within few inches OF the net, and
then. after buzzing about for a little,
depart. He told me the flies would
pass through the net IL there was q
little light-that Is another window In
the opposite wall. Though the day
was very warm, did not see single
| fly In the room during my visit, though
elsewhere In the town they were seer
In abundance. Isuppose they imagine
the net to be a spiders web, or som,
other trap intended for their destruc
tion.

Among the packages Of money re.

Among the packages Of money re-
ceivcd at the treasury redemption
bureau last week from the sub-treas-
ury at Chicago for redemption was
counterfeit note of the denomination
OF 500. 1t was an old note. Of the series
of 1872, very ragged and very dirty.
The note had been in circulation for
many years and performed all the
offices of money without it's genuinf
ness being suspected, and was finally
accepted at the sub treasury at Chioa-
go as good. And yet, according to the
clerk who instantly picked it out OF "
roll of other notes, 1t was but very
poorly executed counterfeit. The
clerk in the sub-treasury who passed
it in counting will have to make up
the amount out of his own pocket.

GATE LAW CHANGED.

By late decision of the Supreme
Court, the, month of October Is
now the open season for shooting
deer.
by the Supreme Court last Wednesday.
has been to change what has been for,
nearly two years past supposed to be
the fish and game laws OF the state.
For the benefit OF sportsmen and all
who find pleasure in fishing and hunting
we giye.a brief synopsis Of what the law
change.
In 1895 the Legislature undertook to
amend, revise and consolidate the fish
and game laws ofthe state. Their effort
appears in Chapter 221 of the laws Of
1895. This chapter provides that it
shall be unawfuls to kill deer at any
time except the first twenty days in
November. Among. numerous other
provisions is found one which forbids
fishing with gill nets in Lake Winnebago
at. certain seasons OF the year. For
violation Of this provision fisherman
was arrested in Oshkosh and convicted
He appealed the case to the Supreme
Court and the Supreme Court decided
that Chapter 221 of the laws of 1895,
had never legally passed the Legislature,
nor received the approval of the Gov
ernor, and was therefore nota valid law.
1t follows that il Chapter 221, Of the
laws of 1896, had never been legally
passed and was not q law, then the fish
and game laws passed in 1898 had not
been repealed and are still in full force
and effect. We find the laws of 1898
permit deer to be killed during the month
of October, and permit them to be ship
ped to any part of the state but not out
of the state. That the season Tor killing
deer closes the last day of this month.
