THE PROTECTION WANTED.

Cussing and discussing the
Fuller fish law, still goes OF,
and the true intent and in
wardnesS of the bill is grad
ually coming out,
Wakulla county, with five
of the largest fishing yards
in the state and a large pop
ulation of fishermen, opposed
the bill vigorously.
Hundreds of poor people
i'll Florida and South Gcor-
gia, draw largely on the Gulf
coast fisheries for their food
supply, and our fishermen
were content with live and
let live prices, and as for the
fish supply, that at present
seems to need no protection
from law in this section,
While working for the
passage of the bill, its advo-
Gates claimed that its object
was to protect the fish, but
now, in discussing the new
law, the Tampa Tribune
frankly admits that the OBJ
lect of the bill was to raise
the price of fish, regardless
of the interest of consumers
of course, for the protection
Of the wholesale fish dealers
of South Florida.

KLoNDYKE.-If all the current purposes
are successfully held and firmly bound by an
agreement on the part of those now most
prOnouncedly outspoken in favor of busi-
ness trip to the Alaska gold fields next
spring, then as many as twelve or fifteen OF
our people will deliberately have inoculated
themselves with the virus Of that incurablt
malady the gold fever.
1t is being earnestly discussed, and the
present worth OF months promise togo
is rated among the more enthusiastic at OF
slightly below par. We have been solicited
to become member of the party and have
taken 1t under advisement; there is no telling
what half-year may bring forth. AS to
the reigning idea that a year in Alaska
means twelve months battle with the ele-
ments. that's all humbug. While there is
intense cold, it is dry cold; not So degrees on
Christmas day and 18 on December 29th as
il was here several years ago. it does not
Maw there at all during the winter months
and the care and precaution of ordinary in
telligence is all that Is needed Plenty pro-
vided to eat and to wear, good digestion
good supply of sand in the gizzard and
starch in the spinal yertebrae,a a blue ribbon
pledge and an antidote for homesickness
constitute about all the real essentials, to
safety and certain success, save the one con-
dition, that pay. dirt be found upon your
claim, if anything like unclaimed surface OF
the earth remains.
