A Poor Nlnn's Idea.

There are many geniuses and i'll

A Large Fish Enterprise.

Silas l.. Griffith of Dandy, the
wealthy LII mbcr dealer, has informed
John w. Titcomb. state fish COM
missioner. of his intentions of en-
larging his fish hatchery at Dandy
and furnishing the state gratuitously
with number of thousand lingering
trout cash year. Mr.. Griffith has
been Interested in fish culture for
some time, and year ago built a
small hatchery and five watts two
miles south of his residence, at what
is known as the "South end lumber
job The watts were stocked with
100 large trout taken from Otter
Creek and Lake Griffith and eggs
were taken from the female fish.
The experiment was successful in
every way, and there are new in this
trough at the hatchery over $4,000
trout fry in the sac. They are Il
healthy lot, and will be housed until
they become fngerings, when part
will be liberated i'm Lake Griffith and
part in Otter Creek. Lake Griffith
is private water, being owned by Mr..
Griffith, and is destined to become
one of the finest trout ponds in the
state. Otter Creek furnishes good
sport and is public water. In IL few
months Mr.. Griffith will begin bwlt-
ing 80 new watts, charging his hatch
cry and building an artificial pond,
where the larger trout will be kept
until wanted for breeding purposes.
The hatchery will be enclosed with
a wire fence, u, feet high, and will
be under the supervision of Il man
employed for that purpose.

Proposed Change In Maine Game Law

Maine is agitatcd over proposed
changes IN the game laws shortening
the open season for deer hunting and
allowing only the single month of
November for killing moose and
caribou. 1t is also proposed to COM
pei all guides and owners of camps
to take out licenses and report any
violations of the game laws. This
has led the guides to organize for the
purpose of contesting the proposed
legislation, and $50 veterans of the
woods have formed the MooscIlcad
Lake ASSOCIATION, which will be
heard from later. In the interests of
the Maine farmers, who cannot pull
a trigger even to defend their own
crops, bill has been introduced
providing that the State shall reim-
burse them for all damages done by
deer and other protected game.

Mark Hanna will succeed ohn
Sherman as Senator from Ohio when
the latter enters the cabinet. Gov.
Bushnell announces that he intends
to appoint him and Mr.. Hanna will
represent Mckinley in the Senate
for two years. Then, if he wants Il
full term he will have to hustle for
himself.
Mark Hannas appointment to the
Senate from Ohio, which he is to
receive from Gov. Bushnell, is not
an agreeable dose even tor many
Republicans. HIS sole claim to this
distinction is that he raised Il very
sizable campaign fund with winch
he very materially assisted in piling
up majority for Mckinley. 1t was
expected that he would get some
thing handsome from the admins
tration, and whatever the feeling
over the senatorial plum which falls
to him may be, there is Il feeling Of
thankfulness in some quarters that
he has no place in the cabinet yet.
1t will be a bad day for the country
when cabinet positions are to be had

The National Business Mems
League, which should be as much
interested as any body of men in the
complexion of the new tariff, spreads
some sensible ideas in communicate
ton to the ways and means commit
tee. 1t says:
'Whilc we understand that it is
your. intention by this revision to
obtain more revenue and to protect
American labor we ask that it's ben
efits and its burdens be spread us
equally rs possible, so rs to foster
general rather than special interests.
We believe that the country has now
had sufficient experience with tariffs
to furnish basis upon which revl-
sions may be made more scientific
ally than heretofore, and that the
objects desired, whether revenue or
protection, may be secured and at
the same time general business pros
perity may be forwarded"
The league also states that, being
in favor of taking the tariff out of
politics, it favors the establishment
of a new department OF the govern
ment, to be designated the depart
ment of commerce and industry.
Whether the country needs or could
stand another expensive department
is a question, but the suggestion that
the benefits and burdens of the tariff
be spread as equally as possible is
always timely, and it is also an init
nation that this point is not always
considered by our tariff-makcrs. The
appeal to our Republican tariff car
pentcrs is good one.

Deer In the Green Mountains.

Deer in the Green Mountains were
never more plentiful or in better
condition since their importation in
to the State ten years ago than dur
ing the present winter, according II
press dispatches from Rutland. The
falls of snow have been comparative
ly light, and in consequence the deer
have been wandering through the
forests as during other seasons of the
year. The increase of the animals
has not been as large as was antici-
pated by the projectors of the enter
PRISE. In winter they have occa-
sionallv been seen crossing Lake
Champlain on the ice, presumably
going to the deer parks in the north
woods on the western shore of the
lake. But few have been seen
swimming the lake. There is no
evidence Of their return. They still
herd with the farmers cows, who
have a task to drive them off.
