his superiority over Tom Pettitt at the b. A. A.

played witt his opponent and made strokes

every game played and kept Pettitt from getting
near enough to be dangerous. Pettitt allowed
Ashworth 8 points. n handicap that no should
have had himself. He showed great lack OF
liant stand and made several strokes that called
for wild appla use from his friends in Tho gallery,

10 the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Chapter l4s. page 175. Acts 1876 en-
titled IAN Act to Prevent the EXterml-
nation of Partridges and Quail In the
State of Virginia" provides that ~
shall be unlawful for any person 10 XIII
or capture any partridges OF guam III
the State of Virginia for the period OF
two wears. or TO offer for sale or BUY
any cartridges or quail so unlawluly
killed or captured in said State wlthlh
the aforesaid period. and hxes the
penalty for violation, a fine OF $40 lor
each offence, and imprisonment until the
fine is paid.
The operation Of section 2O9, CODE Oh
1857. and any special game law, so faf
as II relates TO this particular game,
and in conflict with this act, is sus-
pended.
The above act was approved January
q. 1896. and was in force from its
passage.
1t is my opinion that the above act Is
constitutional and binding authority upon
the people OF the whole State.
To hunt and kill game is boon or
privilege granted either expressly or i'm
pliedly by the sovereign authority, not
a right inherent in each individual, and
consequently nothing is taken away
from the individual when he is denied
the privilege OF hunting ana klllhE Sdule'
The ownership of the sovereign authority
is in trust for all the people of the state,
and hence it is the duty of the Legisla-
ture TO enact such laws as will best pre-
serve the subject of the trust and secure
it's beneficial use in the future to the
people of the State. The question of In
dividual enjoyment is one of public policy
and not OF private right The ruling oil
Judge Homes is binding authority only
within his county, and does not anect
any other county in the State. 1t Is
against the law to hunt or shoot part
ridges or quail in Henrico county until
January q, 1898. and the people of the
county should see that the law is obeyed.
Mr.. Justice White, in Greer VS.. state
of Connecticut" 161 U. S. 5l9 to 54'ds-
cusses this question and cites many au-
thorities. Very respectfully.

The importation OF American corn
(maize) into Germany, for cattle-feed
chiefly, has reached an unprecedented
figure. During the first four months
of this year no fewer than Si6,02 tons
of maize were imported from the United
States into the German empire, as against
l75 SIG tons and 2S.79i tons. respectively,
in the corresponding periods Of the two
preceding years.
There are, however complaints about
some OF the corn imported. 1t is assert
ed that large quantities of inferior
and damaged corn have been received, and
that many dealers have had unfortunate
experiences with their purchases. This
is said TO have been the case particu-
larly at Hamburg, where many contracts
for maize had been made. and. as the
buyers and sellers cannot agree as to
the degree of inferiority of the article
in question, lawsuits are about to be
instituted However. it is said to be
fact that the maize often lies for weeks
in absolutely unfit stores at the sea-
ports and this certainly does not conduce
TO the Improvement Of the article.

The employees Of a tin-mill in New
castle. Pa, numbering one hundred and
seventy-five, have struck because the
foreman of the mill discharged one OF
their union for kissing a girl who was
also an attache of the establishment. If
a more justifiable strike than this ever
took place II has not been recorded, and
1t Is earnestly to be hoped that the
strikers will hold out until their gallantry
has been indicated by the unemployment
Of the klsser
The latter's union is said to sustain him
to man, as they ought TO do, seeing
that not only is the kissee very pretty,
but the reputation of the kisser's name
was at stake, it being Kissinger. The
fact IS that any man named Kissinger
who would not take advantage OF an OPP
portunity TO kiss a fair kissee would de-
serve 10 be expelled from a trades union
or any other respectable organization.
