Section NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Opinion.

Attorney General McKenna seems to
be of the opinion that law of Con.
gress, solemnly enacted by that body
and signed by the President, is not a
law at all. During the past week that
official published an opinion that the
plain English Of Section twenty-five
must be construed to mean directly the
opposite OF what is the plain purport of
the language employed in its construc-
ton. Apparently the Attorney Gen.
eral was embarrassed by the difficult
ties, political and legal, of his situation,
and has framed an opinion which is
not an opinion but simply contriv-
ance to throw the responsibility of con-
straining Section twenty-five upon the
Supreme Court. The question will I'M
doubtedly be taken to that body as
soon as case can be made up.
Respecting the opinion of the Attor-
ney-General McKenna and the rapture
with which it is received by newspapers
published in communities whose local
interests may be injuriously affected by
the law the New York Sun says:
Some newspapers are talking as il Attor-
ney-G General McKenna's opinion concerning
Section twenty-five Of the Dingley act were
a decision Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, cutting out the discriminate
ing duty and to that extent multiplying the
law. OF course, it is nothing OF the Sort
1t is not a judicial construction Of the law.
1t repeats nothing, alters nothing, modifies
nothing in the law as it stands. 1t is mere
ly professional opinion, serving, 30 far as
it is Ineligible, to relieve Secretary Gage
from the necessity Of immediate enforce
ment in quarters where enforcement would
provoke bitter opposition. 1t is an opinion
for present convenience; for postponement
OF an embarrassing question until Congress
meets
Section twenty-five was designed to
give legal effect to the pledge of the
Republican party to regain for Ameri-
can vessels the carrying of the nations
foreign commerce. Of the bearing of
the Section upon this pledge the Sun
says:
Now, what will be the duty OF Congress?
Simply to make the law 80 clear in regard
to the discriminating duty for the benefit OF
American shipping that it will be beyond
even Judge McKenna's uncommon powers
Of obfuscation to delay longer the fulflment
OF distinct pledge of the Republican party
This pledge was registered in the platform
upon which was elected as President of the
United States William Mckinley who, by

THE depressing and dreary statement
regarding the enormous number of
business failures all over the country
during the last four years of Cleve-

appearing. During the second week of
the present September only 100 fail

corresponding week of 1893 we're 346.

From and after to-day, the horn
of the hunter will be heard in the
land, and likewise his breech-load-
ing shotgun. The 1stof September
begins the legal and proper shoot
ing of game-birds in this state, and
the troubles. of the game wardens
increase coincidently. Those
officers will then have the duty of
seeing that game killed in this state
is not taken into some other state,
for Minnesota is jealous of her
ducks and chickens. We have
laws that hedge about with many
restrictions the killing of wild fowl.
In fact, as often as the legislature
meets we get new game and fish
law, and still there is discomfort.
The fact is that, with regard to
migratory birds, the present laws
Of this state and its neighbors to
the south are insufficient. The
wild duck leaves Louisiana during
the open season down there some
time in February, to the accompani-
ment of powder and shot. AS he
goes north he meets the same
treatment till his arrival in Mime
sofa in April. tits case of run
ming the gauntlet, and is very bad
for the runner. In the fall the
direction of his flight is reversed,
but the defamation continues.
Under the circumstances, it is not
strange that a writer in Lippin-
colts fears that ''our grandchildren
will never be able to say that they
seen such bird as wild duck or
snipe, out side of collection of
mounted specimens" AS he
shows, the destruction is not caused
by the shooting done by the sports
men for pleasure, but by the
wholesale killing for the markets.
The best remedy for the abuse
that is exterminating our game
would be to prohibit absolutely
the sale of game birds. Yhey are
the property of the state, which
may regulate their disposal as it
deems best. Let those who desire
to eat wild duck go out and kill
few in the proper season. 1t
would be better that a rich mans
table should lack such delicacies
the species should become even
more scal ce than now or altogether

SOME of the German free silver
papers in Wisconsin are firing
buncombe at President Mckinley
because disappointed few Ameri
cans to federal officers in the north
and few of the colored race in
the south. The Waldbote, pub
lished at Medford, scenes to labor
under the Impression that foreigners
are entitled to American Offices be-
fore native Americans and it say
that President Mckinley is placing
himself on record as picking from
those who hate ''us Chermans. AS
far as we can see, Prest. Mckinley
has acted very fair in his appoint
ments. In the course of our travels
we have failed to find one single
person who has said any thing
against the Germans who are
recognized as thrifty people and
make good citizens, more than cal
ling them ''Dutchman." What
we have seen though, and which
is characteristic of the Waldbote
is antipathy of everything Ameri-
can and the undying efforts of the
paper to make that section of
Wisconsin in which it fourishes
as near counterpart to Germany
as possible. Those who insist on
keeping it American are classed as
German haters."
