GAME LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Judge Holmes, OF the County Count
of Mecklenburg, yesterday decided the
the game law enacted at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature unconstitutional,
it being too restrictive. The test of the
constitutionality, of the law was made
by DR.. G. II. Finch, who shot and kill.
ed partridge one day last week, and
was duly reported to the authorities
and tried before Justice Hutcheson and
fined $40. The case was promptly ap-
pealed to the County Court. Hon. r
T. Thorp represented the defendant,
while MIR. Goode conducted the prose-
cution. The decision of the court
seems to give general satisfaction, as
birds are very plentiful in that county
this fall, and shooting will be greatly
enjoyed.

ton is, where did Hanna get all the
extra votes necessary to neutrallz-
Brvan's great gains?
Nor ordinary increase Of population
could begin to account for the m,s-
terry. Neither did the general voting
gain in the non-pivotal States. Ne.
York gained only 4 10000 votes over
1902; kansaS gained only 10000;
Texas gained only 10000; Massachu-
sets gained only 1000. Mr.. Hanna
made no special -xertions in those
States. They were regarded as Ger.
tain. Nevertheless, there is 20 a
to doubt and thee is every reason to
believe, that al Of them pOlled a foil
vote. But in the pivotal States the
voting gain is incomprehensihla' II
Illinois the increase was 400, 600: it,
Ohio it was 100000; in Kentucky it
was Joe, 900 in Indiana it was 90, goo.
1t is not easy to understand how
frauds upon so large a scale could
have been ppppetI ated. Yet it is i'm
possible to believe that the enormously
exception al gains in the pivotal S ates
were legitim ate. While the vast cam

ter OF his mauagement.-Clevelaud

enough to cope with any of these fer a moment on the sea.
 On land the dual alliance and the triple alliance are pretty fairly matched in strength, with the former rather in the lead.
 On the sea the dual alliance is strong CT even than Great Britain. and far stronger than the triple alliance.
 Great Britain, with only a small army, comparatively speaking, could not af- feet a struggle of land forces on the continent in the least, but her navy, which she is enlarging with desperate haste in an attempt to catch up with the Franco-Russia outfit, could secure to the triple alliance undoubted victory at sea.
 It is evident, then, why the rumor is persistent in Paris that the dual alli- ance hopes to make a triple alliance with the United States. The wish is father to the thought. This country's war power is likely to develop along British rather than continental lines. We shall have small active army, but i@ot eRiANi PON NAi d1 ilcf All stronger than that of Spain or Japan, which most closely follow the big pow CTS of Europe, our navy is even now measurably equal to Austria's, and will in no long time surpass those of all nations except Great Britain, France and Russia.
 Russia and France are both ancient and traditional friends of the United States. They are still our friends, and have, as the Paris papers are pointing out, practically no opposing interests anywhere, from which disputes would be likely to arise. Such an alliance would be the worlds best guarantee of peace. they say abroad. because it would be invineible Even if we did nothing else to aid the dreibund, we might menace Canada as a pledge of Great Britain's neutrality in conti- mental squabble. So the talk goes on the boulevards.
 The extent of the war feeling in Great Britain is surprising to one who hasn't visited the country for some years
