VOICES OF THE PRESS.
The Careless Hunters.


A dispatch from Augusta states that a
Dill will he presented to the next Maine
LEGISLATURE providing a severer penalty
for the mistake of shooting men while
hunting for deer There have been a
great many accidents of this kind this
summer, but the courts have discharged
the men who have been arrested for ac-
cidentally shooting persons in the woods.
There are two sides to this question, as
all sportsmen realize. A great many men
go into the woods with too little knowl-
edge of hunting. When even an expert
enced hunter has walked hours in silence,
the chatter of a squirrel. the dropping of
a twig into the dry leaves or the Tapping
of piece of loose birch bark are suffi-
Gent to bring the rifle into position al
most spontaneously. The Inexperienced
woodsman is liable to fire at whatever he
sees moving. A man wearing red
sweater was shot for deer near Nor
cross Me. last month. Bright red is as
safe color as can be worn. but that few
think of this is the point of Il story told
by guides in Patten. Me-. about two New
York sportsmen, with more money than
caution. who went into the woods wear
ing coats and caps of deerskn. thereby
simply inviting men to slaughter them.
But 1t is not always the green hunter who
fires before distinguishing his game. One
OF the most noted and most experienced
guides in the Pine Tree State once shot
at a man. but fortunately missed him.
1t Is criminal negligence to discharge
rifle before the game is plainly and un-
mistakably visible. but it is question
that hunters have often discussed and
seldom agreed upon. whether it would be
either just or beneficial to imprison a
careless or nervous person who has
brought endless grief to himself by shoot
ing one of his fellow men.

Just how the House of Hapsburg is
monarchy is something which the in
habitants of the Austrian domain are
who give the matter little thought ex-
cept when reading some of the many
foreign dispatches to the effect that
Austro- Hungary is split up with fac
tions and the scenes in the Austrian
parliament the past two months have
frequently been riotous and disgraceful
in the extreme. Recently the govern
ment limited that if parliament would
not agree to continue the Austro-Hun-
garian union other means would be
found. 1t is not, however clear how
this can be done. Leaders in Hungary
have declared that their country would
yield to no compromise not agreed
upon by the Austrian parliament and
the Germans in that parliament have
so far prevented any such agreement.
The union compromise expires by
limitation next December but the
Austrian government or parliament
have a year in which to act, so that
possibly some settlement of the trouble
may be brought about The excite
ment and bitterness are great and have
their origin in race differences. The
Germans are in the minority in the
Austrian parliament and the hated
Czechs have secured DEGREES putting
their language On a level with the Ger
man. At this the Germans rebel, and
though in the minority are determined
to rule or ruin so far as that question
is concerned. Consequently they have
delayed all efforts to continue the pres
ent agreement between Austria and
Hungary as retaliation upon the gov
eminent that issued the language de-
crees.

con9ratuIatory.

Some would-be felicitous headline
writer on newspaper of anti-protec-
ton tendencies prefaced the report of
Congressman Dingley's speech before
the Home Market Club with the line
"Dingiey Defends His Bill" We hope
the patrons Of that paper. carefully
read the report of that address. be-
cause then would be seen that tn
speech was rather of a congratulatory
nature 10 the country on the return of
protective tariff conditions than other
wise. There was no attempt at ex
PLANTATION CT the measure because none
was needed. All know what the pur
pose of our present tariff law is ana
all are fast coming to realize. willingly
or unwillingly. as the case may be with
the individuals, that the law is produc-
ing the results which it was predicted
would be brought about.
Peculiarly apt was Mr. Dingley's al
fusion to the fact that the last time
ne attended a meeting Of the club was
in 1892 when all opposed to the prin-
ciple of protection were engaged in
telling the country what a millennium
was in wait for us so soon as we might
burst the bonds of 'robber tariff"
OF course no one within sound of MIR.
Dingley's voice. and we might say
none within reach of the printed re-
port of his speech. would care TO go
back to Grover and four more years
of clover" They have enough for the
essary for Mr.. Dingley to tell what he
expected the law to do in the future;
every weekly review of the business
situation tells what it is doing, in the
face of the greatest odds new protec-
tive measure ever encountered. The
whole world has knowledge of it and
from non-partisan sources.
Mr.. Dingley's allusion to another
feature of the plants so frequently
made, in the interim while the free
traders are waiting for something
plausible to turn up at hand for their
purpose, the plant that higher prices
threaten, was one so eminently sem
sible, that we would commend it to the
memory of all.
The abnormal cheapening of many
products which we have witnessed the
past four years. has been in a large
part not a cheapening of wealth by
economic processes, but by the degree
dation of man through lowering the
standard of living, not only by a re-
duction of earnings but also by de-
priving multitudes of workmen of the
opportunity to use their labor Such
cheapening process has killed enter
prise, diminished the purchasing power
of the masses, and beggared hundreds
of thousands.
I'm order to secure a restoration of
prosperity, 1t is essential that so much
of the decline in prices as has been due
to the degradation of man shall be
first offset by an equivalent rise in
order that industries and business may
recuperate and American genius be
set free to reduce cost Of production

He Is rather late in making that con-

nearer correct than the impression
which the murderess tried to give.
One thing alone, serves to show that
she has the stronger mind; Thorn was
weak enough to tell chance COM
panion about the murder. Mrs. Mack
told no one till she saw a chance to
save her life by SO doing. 1t is thought
confession Thorn might have met with
as good luck as did Luetgert.

protective policy shows that when this
is done, any slight temporary increase
of prices are soon far more than offset,

have already begun all about us and
