THE KICKER.

An exchange prints the following ar ticle about well-known character:
 The kicker How many there are of this kind, and how diversified are the things about which he will kick Do not be unreasonable; do not kick just for the fun of kicking. but when you have cause to kick stand up for your rights and kick hard. In the first place remember that ev erybody else has just as many lights as you have, and do not expect every one to give up all their rights for you, but in the competition of to-day the man who knows his rights and insists upon having them is the one who is going to succeed The fellow who never kicks about anything and the ellow who kicks about every thing are one as bad as the other Kicking when you have no cause Heakens the effects of your iustifiable kick

Ultimate Colonial Sovereignty.
NUMBER 45
rRe7ier of Rsriews.I


 Nr Laurier has lost no popularity
 in England by asserting that Canada
 considers herself perfectly free to come
 or go at her own pleasure. It is sign
 ificent that nobody in England has
 denied this proposition. If Canada
 should wish to cut the slender thread J that now joins her to the British en- l pire, it is conceded that she may do so
 without let or hIndrance. Canada, how ever, is only a loose federation of self
 governing States. If Canada may leave England at her own pleasure, is it not equally true that British Columbia, or Manitoba, or Quebec, might at their own pleasure withdraw from the Can- adian confederation and resume their
 direct relationship with England, hay
 ing precisely the same status that New foundland now has. or the same as that of Victoria, New South Wales, New Zealand, or Tasmania? Certainly Can ada possesses no right of withdrawal from the British empire that NewfounG- land does not also possess. and it is hard to see what right of withdrawal Newfoundland possesses that is not also inherent severally in Quebec, or Manitoba, or British Columbia. It IS to be remembered that the line which now separates Canada from the United States is purely arbitrary, and that 1t does not correspond with any sharp division, whether of physical geography of commerce, or of racial characteris- tics. Furthermore, the COnfeder ation of provinces which now has its seat of government at Ottawa is also rather an arbitrary than a natural grouping.
 When, therefour, our friends in Eng- land are discussing the future of Can. and, they are forgetting the fact that Canada IS @ designati1n which does not ol neces ity correspond tc any rsr- uanent. irt.Erai fact. t.e- 5f he Cao- Go the Uuiteu otalos, anu tue p1UpUseI, were received with goodwill at Wash ington, it does not follow that the Dominion Government could be compe- tent to make delivery. It would pro- bably turn out to be a question which the individual colonies would insist upon deciding for themselves. We are not likely to face any annexation pro- blem along our northern boundary for many years to come; but in any case Englishmen seem to forget that an- nexation would probably accur. not at a gulp. but by individual provinces. There have been times when Manitoba was very near withdrawing from the Dominion, and stranger things might have happened than her application to be admitted as a State in the Union, Newfoundland, in exchange for some substantial readily enough have sought and accepted political union with the United States for the sake of the ad- vantages of commercial union. Our English friends do we'll to consider the of their empire: but they will not be able to invent any machin- cry of imperial federation that will be strong enough to thwGrt manifest des- tiny. The future of the great English speaking colonies must be worked out by processes which no man be taking fOrethought, however anxiousiy, can control.

Suspected Nichols Murderer Arrested in

Suspecteu NicloIs uuruerer arreSCeO III
the Town of Providence, NY.
Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 10-A man who
gave his name as James Durick, sus-
pected to be one of the men who mur-
dered Marcus Nichols at Daniels
Farms, Conn, is locked up in Jail at
Ballston Spa. Durick was arrested last
night in the town of Providence, this
county, by Deputy Sheriffs Shadrick
and O'Brien, who found him hiding in
barn. His companion has not been
found. Police Justice Freedman of
Ballston Spa held Durick on the charge
of being a fugitive from Justice
Durick is said to closely resemble the
published picture of one of the sus-
poets. He takes his arrest coolly and
denies any knowledge of the murder.
He says that he was in Ballston Spa
a week ago and has worked a few days
in the mines at Ticonderoga, and that
he was in Bridgeport, Conn, only one
month ago to-day The prisoner claims
to be thirty mine years, and that his
home is in Honesdale, Pa.
Chief of Police Birmingham of
Bridgeport, Conn, has been wired the
fact of Duricks arrest, and will to-
night send a detective to identify the
suspect.

Jacob Cutler Sues for Amount of Notes

Property of Hayes g. Rourke Attached
Jacob Cutler Sues for Amount of Notes.
Three attachments were recorded in
the town clerks office yesterday after
noon just before the office closed for
the day. The largest of the three at
tachments was one for $1,000, and was
placed upon property on Grand ave-
nue. belonging to Hayes & Rourke, the
timers and plumbers, at 1878 Grand
avenue. The papers were served by
Deputy Sheriff Higgins in favor of Eliz-
abeth Beloff and Golda Walkin. The
plaintiffs allege that the defendants did
timing work on the roof of building
belonging to the plaintiffs and that the
work was done so unskilfully and neg
ligently that some time after it's COM
pletion the roof became leaky and in
consequence the decorated plaster work
of rooms in the building became water
coaked and was partially destroyed. 1t
is further alleged that the defendants
have otherwise failed to fulfill their
part of the contract and still neglect
and refuse to complete it. Damages of
$1,000 is claimed. 1t is also claimed
that J. S. Clark of Orange is the agent
of the defendants and has concealed
some Of their goods and effects. The
case is returnabie to the superior court
ON the first Tuesday in September.
| Deputy Sheriff Higgins also placed an
attachment for 5000 on property on
Scranton street belonging to Goldie
| Schwartz and Annie Smernoff in favor
of Jacob Cutler. The parties are all
residents Of New Haven. Mr. Cutler
alleges that the defendants on June
gave their note for 5000 payable on de-
mand to Rosin & Brownstein, and on
June % gave note for $100 also pay
able on demand. Rosin & Brownstein
transferred these notes to Mr.. Cutler
who early In this month demanded pay
on them He alleges that the notes
have not yet been paid and claims
$500 damages.
Deputy Sheriff Louis A. Koon late
yesterday afternoon placed an attach
ment on land on Scranton street be-
longing to Nathan Golden. The at
| tachment Is for $500 and is made in a
suit brought against Mr.. Golden by
James Goodfellow. In the complaint
Mr.. Goodfellow states that on February
4, 1897, Mr.. Golden and Ernest D. Derby
of New Haven executed a contract by
which Mr.. Derby was to erect a three
strory house for the defendant or
| Scranton street. On March 10 Mr.. Der.
by sold to the plaintiff, Mr.. Goodfellow
the contract for the building, and au-
thorized the defendant Mr.. Golden, tc
pay to Mr.. Goodfellow $3.50, the con.
tract price. The plaintiff claims thai
the defendant has never paid the plain
tiff the $3.50, which is now due, or any
part of it.

WARNING no GOLD HUNTERS.
Secretary Bliss Draws Public Attention to
the Dangers to be Encountered.


Washington, Aug. 10.-Secretary
Bliss has taken cognizance of the rush
to the Klondike gold fields and Alaska
and has issued the following warning
to the general public
To whom it may concern: In view OF
information received at this depart
ment that three thousand persons with
two thousand tons of baggage and
charge are now waiting at the en-
trance to White Pass in Alaska, for
an opportunity to cross the mountains
to the Yukon river, and that many
more are preparing to join them, l
deem it proper to call the attention
of all who contemplate making that
trip to the exposure, privation, suffer-
ing and danger incident thereto at this
advanced period of the season even II
they should succeed in crossing the
mountains.
To reach Dawson city, when over the
pass, seven hundred miles of difficult
navigation on the Yukon river, without
adequate means of transportation, VIII
still be before them and 1t is doubtful
If the journey can be completed be-
fore the river is closed by ice.
I am moved to draw public notice
to these conditions by the gravity OF
the possible consequences to people de-
tained in the mountainous wilderness
during the five or six months of Arc
tic winter, where no help can reach
them, however great the need.

Secretary of the Interior.

quired the united efforts of four officers
to put him into the ambulance. At the

AFTER GARBAGE G4THERERS,
Board of Health Heard Complaints
Against Contractors

At the meeting of the board of health
yesterday afternoon the only business
was the consideration of the numerous
complaints against the collectors of
garbage which have been pouring into
the board of health office thick and
fast recently.
The first case brought UP was that of
Patrick DAILY, garbage gatherer, for
what is known as the east district. The
first complaint considered was that
from 81 Grand avenue, where it was
charged DAILY was not removing gar
bage. Mr.. Daily proved to the satisfac-
tion of the board that there was at No.
97 an improper receptacle for garbage
He proved that the receptacle was a
wooden tub which has fallen partly to
pieces and did not hold the garbage
placed therein. On motion of Commits
sioner Dibble it was voted not to fine
the collector on this count. The fine
ranges from so cents to S..
The next complaint considered was
from No. 267 Lloyd street. After the
matter had been before the board for
some time President Fleischner discov-
cred that the document was request
and not complaint, so the matter was
dropped Other complaints from Mr.
Daly's district were from 271 Lombard
street, 1872 Wallace street, 1877 st. John
street, 26 Warren street, 1873 Pine street,
103 Atwater street, 1873 James street, 9S
Exchange street, 35 Chestnut street, 255
Grand avenue, 25 Wallace street, 8
Shelter street corner of Ferry and Eng
Iish street and "a Cedar Hill avenue
The complainant from the corner of
Ferry and English street was Charles
Cav. He said that if he did not get
better garbage service from the health
department he would appeal to the
courts. Mr. Daily proved by Inspector
Jackson that the receptacle at 255
Grand avenue, had a capacity of only
six quarts, and that at % Wallace
street the complaint was made because
he would not carry away grass that
had been cut from the lawn.
J. J. Green of 230 Exchange street
stated to the board that the garbage
gathering In his section of the city was
mixed up by a colored man named
Reed. who is a private collector. He
said that Reed ordered other collectors
off the streets ana tnen ne TOOK only
such garbage as he thought could be
used. He also said that now the resi-
dents there carry off their garbage in
wheeIbarrows This case and the others
NOT considered were tabled for an ex-
ecutive session.
The case of Contractor Lawrence of
fhe west district was next taken UP.

were received from 522 George street

| Meadow street, 80 Howard avenue, 343
Howard avenue. 331 Cedar street and
531 Orange street.
