Then tie New South Wales govern
mert, it will be remembered, offered q
reward Of !s25, 600 to any person or per
sons who could suggest a really efficient
method Ct getting rid of the pest; bat,
although this liberal offer led to the re-
ce;pt Ct IL fewer than 2, 900 schemes
from Ell parts Of. the world, none Ct
them WA regarded as satisfactory, ard
tic offer was withdrawn. The domestic
cat was introduced. and IL certain linz
tied areas did much service. Poiscns
were largely resorted to, ard ferrets,
sto*ts and weasels have been imported
in thousands into some Of the colonies
and have increased fast. But hitherto
tie rabbits, owing to the rate at which
they multiply. have managed not only
to hold their own, but to constantly
spread eve ground, carrying de-
struction with them wherever they go.
In South Australia, for instance, the
direct loss fron the rabbits has been put
down ct e25O, coo per annrm and the
indirect less ut q similar amount. In
Victoria the active operations fer the
destruction Ct rabbits On crown lands
have been carried On by the government
since 1880, and from that date to the
middle Of 1894 a total Of nearly $780,
600 had been spent by the state on that
object. As for the money spent by pri-
waite individuals fer the same purpose,
that is almost incalculable, but it may
be mentioned that on one estate alone
upward of el5, coo have been expended
by the owner, with the view Of clearing
his land of the pest.
In the II years ending with 1898
nearly IS, 000, 600 rabbit skins, valued
at e402, 600, were exported from Vic
toria, without counting the large guam
titles used by hat manufacturers i'll the
colony, n establishment alone using
374, 400 every year. Yet, n~otwithstand-
ing all this slaughter, the present in
tested area throughout the colony is es-
tinated by the chief inspector at no less
than 81, $50, 600 acres. Adding to the
direct expenditure the depreciations Of
the grazing values Of the land. the less
to the colonies concerned amount to
millions Of pounds sterling.
The final outcome of royal commits
sions, Of international conferences and
of the testing Of every practical method
of determination, is that the most efec-
tual method of dealing with the evil is
found to be the construction Of rabbit
proof netting, by means of which the
animals can be kept from areas not yet
infested, can be shut off from food sup
plies, and can be more effectuelly dealt
with locally.
The length Of some Of these fences is
enormous. There is one starting at Bar.
ringun, on the Queensland border, and
following the main trunk line from
Bourke to Ccrowa, a distance Of 407
miles, and there is another along the
entire western boundary Of New SOUTH

"In a Broadway show window, said

who had with him q tremendously big,

slant supervision over the fences, SO that
immediate repairs can be done where

THE WATER UORKS.

Alderman Fussell's motion to close tie water works on June 1st, unless sufficient funds were collected to pay tae running expenses, met with too hearty response to permit the sugges- ton that they are not in earnest.
 The facts connected with the matter gre about as follows: The city council has, at d considerable expense to the citizens, provided very efficient sys- in of water works. The water can h- used to put out fire; 1t is used by < me houses and one livery stable to tFrniSh water; it supplies public tough for watering stock; but tue chef daily use is that of sprinkling the streets. Tine cost of running the water works is about $40 per month. Here toiore the receipts have been about S20 OCT month. The deficiency has been about the same amount
 The council thinks that the receipts From all sources should pay the run hing expenses and allow small sur plus, to be used in extending the mains. So that the value of the entire plant nay not decrease, which would be the case if no additions or improvements be made.
 The council has given the citizens d lair chance, and it appears that the burden has fallen unequally. Many have secured the benefit; few have contributed to the cost. The council seems to think that the matter should go no further. If the people of For rest City do not desire water works, then the council should abide by their wishes, and close down the plant. If tAe people have no city pride, public spirit, or desire for comfort and con senience then the city council, which is tae servant of the people, does not con sader 1t as its duty 10 force upon the

FREQCENT KILLINGS.

The frequency with which killings are occurring i'll this county evidences deplorable condition of sentiment. The press Of the South. and of Arkan- sas especially, have labored hard to dis pei the idea obtaining in the North that human lie was held at little value in the South.
 A compilation of the killings in this county for the past year would go il long ways toward sustaining the char ges made against Arkansas, and all of the earnest efforts of the Arkansas press would fail to convince the on locker that the conditions have been abnormal. Further, when the citizens of community allow crimes to go un- punished-thus encouraging a state of FlaWless1ess and anarchy-few papers have the courage and disposition t. maintain that such a community is law-abiding and peaceful, when ap. pearances point to the contrary We have strenuously insisted that human life is held as sacred in the South as elsewhere, but if killings continue at the present rate, We shall be unable to conscientiously make such claim. We do not believe that man would commit this horrible crime of taking human life were he sure that swift and speedy punishment would Da inflicted upon him. Much flinders the rule of justice. Interruptions lawyers, who are not circumscribed by the attributes of honesty and Acknowledgements ,iilite- rate and criminal juries; technicalitles in the law, and the apathetic condition of the people. These are obstacles that should be removed. and removed at once.
 It is useless to talk of the damage re- sulting to community that has a reputation for crime and lawIessness. Nobody is ignorant of such injury.
 Killing should be condemned most strongly by our citizens. the law should be enforced rlgidly, efforts should be made to secure more intelligent. fear less and honest jurors, and the lowly tricks Of shyster lawyers slould be drowned down and discouraged in every possible way.
 Killings have occurred in this county which all comments counted diaboli- cal, yet the guilty were justified by ju- ries who s5mpathiZed with the murder CT and his family. Such disposition of these cases encourages murder. and the time has come when, if public senti- ment against it is not aroused, murder and crime of all kinds may be expected to run riot.
 A healthy public sentiment against crime does much to avert it. An or ganiZed determination to punish mur- derers and other criminals will greatly lessen the list of victims.
