SALEM. Sept. q, 1S97.-The annual flight
of "fickers'' is now on in South Jersey,
but just as the gunners were getting
ready for the annual slaughter came the
announcement from the State Fish and
Game Commissioners that the killing of
..fickers'' would be prohibited. AS a
general rule, 'sfickers' are not market
able birds, and their killing has hereto
fore been allowed. On Saturday, Game
Warden Newell, of this county, received
an order from State Game Protector
Shriner, which stated that as ehickerss'
were golden-winged woodpeckers, they
are therefore insectivorous birds, the
killing of which is prohibited by Section
I OF the game laws. The penalty. is $40
for each bird killed, injured or had in
possession. The game wardens through
out the State have been notified to en-
force the law. Game Warden Newell, of
this county, has put up posters over the
county giving notice of the new order.

This paper IS Democratic sa principle

Questions E.
The ucAr,hur As. Knock-out

This decision in the Mayoralty case has
city. 1t was exactly what ninety-nine
men out of a hundred expected, and what
Mt least an equal numbe desired. The
Macarthur bill was abhorrent to the public
from the day 1t was proposed. Even Re
publicans-always saving the ringsters-
reyolted against it. Its self-evident ra-
pacity, it's transparent hypocrisy, its reek-
less assault upon the principles OF NUM-
cipal government were repulsive to all
decent citizens. Loyal Republicans were
bitter In regard to it for the further
reasons that it wrecked the chances OF
their party at the polls last spring ana
that it was certain. in the long run 10
be declared unconstitutional and thus
would embarrass them in later contests.
The main authors and upholders of the
measure in this county were Samuel Dick
fnson and E. W. Wooliey. They devised
it. in conjunction with Major Carl Lentz
of Newark. They aided in dragooning II
through the Legislature. They are the
responsible men. Dickinson worked hard
for 1t, but had very little to say. Woolley.
after his usual manner, shouted and
ranted about it. He told his party that
the bill was a big thing for it, and he told
the public that it was a big thing FOR
them. We should think it might take a
microscope to discover Mr.. Woolley. this
morning.
We are not done with the Macarthur
bill yet. 1t is an issue before the people.
1t is the most important issue in the
State campaign, which is now on, and it
will be an issue next year when we come
to elect a successor to John w. Griggs.
who signed the infamous measure
The thanks of the Democratic party
are due to Allan L. McDermott for the
courageous and able fight which he made
on this measure. 1t was under his in
spiration that the steps were taken which
forced a test in the courts and which
brought about the holding of the spring
election. This victory Of right is not only
a Democratic success but a personal
triumph for him.

ssHumau Hearts. AT my
Of ~7Iua3e.


| Of TIuaie.
Joseph e. Cavens' production OF
Human Hearts," was presented at the
| Academy of Music last evening, before a
| good sized audience. The story OF the play
| deals with life in the hills of Arkansas.
The play is one Of tears and laughter
| from beginning to end. The first act
| shows Tom Logan. a poor blacksmith,
| married to Jeanette Armsdale an
| adventures. Armsdale is also loved by
Ruth Larkins who has been a long time
friend to him and his poor old mother,
Frederick ArmsdaIe, an old time lover
of Jeanette's puts in an appearance at
the Logan Homestead. and Jeanette dis
appointed in Logan as a husband consents
to run away with him and desert her
infant child. Armsdale fearing that
Logan would kill him should they ever
meet again plans with Jeanette to kill
him before they leave, but by an acci-
dent Logan's old father is stabbed to
death instead.
Tom" Logan is discovered bending
over the body of his father with the
knife in his hand that had been left be-
hind by Armsdale, and though the muir
der has been witnessed by Jem Mason,
a tramp, Logan is accused by his wife
Of murder and sentenced to prison for
life.
Four years elapse and Logan's mother
becomes blind and Ruth Larkin has taken
her place as mistress of the house. Little
Grace Logan, who has never seen her
father, keeps continually praying for him.
The blind mother of Logan and his half
Witted brother go to Arkansas and nave
an interview with the Governor, asking
him for a pardon for Tom Logan. AT
first the Governor refused to give them
one. but when the old lady is about to
leave the room she hands him a bunch OF
old yellow roses, which reminds him or MS
own mother, and filled with pity ne par
Ions Logan. Frederick Armsdale has
stolen the Logan child in hopes of getting
the Logan property. which the grand.
father has left to her by will. Tom
Logan once free from prison, searches
for his child, aided by the tramp whom
child and his faithless wife is shot by
Armsdale as he is being led off to prison,
and the curtain falls. :,
The characters of the play were well
sustained in this manner:-Tom Logan.

A eros. Partisan movement.

For several months the press of this
county, aided by some of the New York
papers, as, for instance. the Republican
tribune AVE imDlored the VOORHEES,
Investigating Committee to visit Hudson
county and lay bare the robbery and
jobbery of the present Board OF Free
hooters. No acknowledgment of the APP
peal has ever been made by the commit
tee. the majority of whose members are
Republicans. The people have called in
vain. Why was this? Is it not fair to
say that the reason was political? The
Board of F~reebooters is strongly Repub-
hcan in complexion. 1t is owned by the
Republican bosses of the county, and its
clerk and factotum is E. w. Woolley, the
Chairman Of the Republican County and
City Committees
The impression that the voorhees, Com
mittss exists for political purposes only
is enhanced by the rapidity with which
it's Republican members snap up a sug-
xestion Of the Tribune that it should
be used to harrass and annoy Demo-
cratic officials. The members of the com
mittee are Senators Foster NJ. Voorhees,,
william H. Skirm. George w. Ketcham
and Charles B.. Herbert, Republicans, and
william D. DAILY, Democrat. The Re-
publican members jump with avidity at
the .tTribune's'' suggestion. which. in ex-
plicit terms, is that the ailur of the
Grand Jury to indict booksellers be in
vestigated. Senator DAILY simply says
that if .pool-selling is investigated in this
county he is very willing to aid. pro-
vided that the same offense be shown up
in Atlantic and Camden counties, where
1t exists without. the slightest interfer-
snce on the part OF the Republican off,
Gals who rule therein.
The suggestion that an Investigating
Committee should traverse the work of
. Grand Jury 10 q novel one The pro-
seedlings Of the Grand Inquest are sup
posed to be inyiolably secret, n we are
G4EtdlEHJ AAiAih& ~ R~~
framework of our loyal system if we
drag its deliberations through the par
tisan distortion of a political enquiry.
There IL something strange, too. in the
suggestion tina a reign of terror should
be created in order to compel the finding
of indictments. We nave no sympathy
with the lawbreakers. We would gladly
see them All doing time in State Prison
for their offenses: but, bad as they are.
we should object to see them ~dragooned
there through the bulldozing of a political
combination which has no object in view
but the manufacture of votes and which
obstinately closes it's eyes to the same
and also to other and greater crimes
where its own party is responsible.
We can recall no case in which an in
v~estigating committee has been used for
public purposes, no case In which I'M
s~crupuious pa~rtisanship has not guided
its action, no case in which 1t has not
dons brutal injustice, no case in which
it has not worked more harm than good
to the State.
