Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1898-01-13

The Supreme Court of the United
States has given an important decision
against the Frankfort (Kentucky) lot
terry. It was claimed in behalf Of the
lottery that its charter was contract,
and that as the United States constitu-
ton forbids any State to pass law i'm
pairing conracts, the provision of the
new Kentucky constitution revoking all
charters of lotteries was invalid. The
Supreme Court took the ground that a
lottery grant is in no sense contract
within the meaning of the constitution,
but is simply license which the
State, for the protection of the public
morals, may at any time revoke. This
decision has wide application, be-
cause, under the contrary view, any
lottery which had once been chartered
in any State would be forever secure
against withdrawal of its privileges.

Rapidly the American bison has di-
minished in numbers since white men
joined with the Indians in the work of
reckless destruction, yet few of the
creatures still survive, in freedom as
well as in captivity, and the day of
their complete extinction may not come
for decades, perhaps not for a century.
The wild or passenger pigeon has been
less fortunate, Or, rather, more I'M
fortunate, than the buffalo. Within the
memory of men still young these birds
existed all over the country in literally
unnumbered millions. Single focks
were seen so large that, even when
moving at express train speed, they
covered the whole sky for hours as
with dense cloud. Lighting in for
est, their weight often worked more
havoc with the trees than the severest
Of winter storms, and in day they
could sweep broad fields as clean as
though a prairie fire had traversed
them. Yet the Smithsonian Institution
announces that urgent appeals sent to
many States and the active personal
efforts Of agents spurred to industry by
the offer of large reward have failed
to bring in a single specimen Of bird,
which, only few years ago, could be
and unfortunately was-killed by the
wagonload with no better than sticks.
This result Of their efforts has con-
WINGED the Smithsonian naturalists that
the pigeons have gone to join the great
aux, and they mourn the carelessness
that has left the United States without
even the poor solace to be found in a
museum case full Of we'll assorted and
arranged specimens of the departed
birds.

life work, Mr.. Plat finished with a stir

A Costly Shot.

Yesterday while Fred Wilder, the ice
man, was working about his place he
noticed a bird that looked very much
like an eagle in the adjoining field.
Fred stopped all work, went into his
house and proceeded to grease his double
barrel shot gun and place it in readiness
for action. He shouldered the gun and
went to where he had last seen the bird.
1t was still there. He took god aim ard
fire J, and the bird fell dead. He went to
lag his game II upon arriving found it
to be a genuine American eagle.
The news quickly spread about Fred's
adventure and a large crowd of people
went to see the eagle, mons whom was a
a soldier who, after taking n ooh at the
bird. found il to be the mascot of Com
pany B brought here by the Elko boys.
The soldier went to camp and told his
comrades that a man had shot their pet
eagle, whereupOn a posse Of soldiers
armed with clubs went to the house OF
Wilder TO demand an explanation.
Wilder told them how he thought it
was a wild eagle and had shot il not
thinking for a minute that it belonged to
them. He asked what they valued the
bird at and they told him S.. Fred
PUNCHED up and the soldiers left con-
tented with the s. and the bird, which
they intend to stuff.
Fred says he will nave to quit cunning
when shells come at 3 apiece.

A private letter from Ii. A. M~cCraney,
nominee for Clerk of the Supreme Court
of California on the Silver Republican
Party ticket, contains the following:
Il aave read your State platform and it
has the right ring, and it does seem that
any party backed up by such principle
should surely win. We look forward to

The County Clerk.

There is a quite a fight going on for the
County Clerkship between Geo. Cowing
of the Silver Party and Mr.. Tyrrell of the
Republican ranks.
Mr.. Cowing was beaten for the nomi-
nation two years ago and this year was
the unanimous choice of the Silver Party.
There is no doubt hat Mr.. Cowing will
receive his entire party vote and this fact
alone would assure his election. He will
also carry a large number Of Republican
votes with him as he has many personal
and warm friends within their ranks.
The only claim he has over his oppo-
nent is that Mr.. Tyrrell has held the same
office for two terms. which many think
sufficient.
Mr.. Cowiug is thoroughly competent
and should be the choice Of the Ormsby
county voters.

A Pledge Worth Taking.

If | may say a word in your col
umns let it be this: The good people of
the colony at Edison and Equality are
'encompassed about with a great
cloud of witnesses" who are intensely
sympathetic toward them, and who
would be filed with pain at any fail
ure on their part to realize the hopes
of their friends and their own SPLEEN
did expectations.
1t will be a help to them in mo-
ments of depression. When the
weather is bad, the stumps seem aw-
full, or the conveniences and accom-
molations seem meagre. or somebody
gets ill-tempered, or someone is home
sick. or not well otherwise, or some
one seems a triiie he2dstrong. or some
one else q bit lazy,Or bit bumptious,
or someone arguing for socialism hits
ungraciOusly another arguing for an
archy, or someone explaining to
them various beauties of no govern
mcnt hings too pointed an argument
alive missile at the advocate of a
more perfect management, or some
other occasion of inharmony threat
ems to diminish the sweetness and
light. it will be help to the colonists,
in such moments, to remember that
some thousands OF men and women
are looking on with all the eagerness
of spOrtsmen at a race course, and
with all the anxiety OF doting parents
watching the boys at school contests
Tor the yearly prizes: fairly "honing,'
as the southern word is, to see them
succeed and create conditions OF
genuine prosperity and happiness
about them.

LET THE PEOPLE RULE.
The Only Way to Unite.

One plank of the recent Labor and
Reform convention at ST. Louis
reads:
ITO impress upon the american
people the pre-eminent Importance of
the system of direct legislation lin
GLIDING the Initiative. Referendum,
Imperative Mandate and Proportion
al Representation as the only means
of restoring the liberties of the peo-
pie. and as the only issue whereby all
reform elements can be cemented
into hearty political union without
compromise of principles"
Elsewhere we give large space to
the account of the magnificent Di-
rect Legislation victory won last
week in San Francisco. This victory
proves that when the people get a
chance to vote directly on direct leg
islation, the reform will win.
Reformers are a queer lot
They are Independent thinkers or
they would not be reformers.
Many reformers are interested in
the whole circle of reforms, political,
economic, financial, social, theologi-
cal. etc. etc.
On the other hand many, if not
most, are specially interested in some
reform. For instance, nearly all So
cialists regard bimetalism as more
honest than monometalism, but they
do not think the money question i'm
portant enough to spend time on.
In short, to leave out any specific
reform would alienate-a body Of vo-
tiers; while to put all proposed re-
forms in the platform would scare
away half the reformers and brighten
every orthodox" voter.
The only way to unite all groups of
reformers is to make Direct Govern
ment Initiative and Referendum. Dl-
rect Nominations, Imperative Man
date and Proportional Representa-
tion the sole platform.
ON this platform and on this alone,
all refOrmers can agree. Here the JEFF
fersonian democrat who believes that
al political power comes from the
people, can stand by the side of the
socialist who believes il an economic
democracy. Here the republican who
favors the plan proposed by Abraham
Lincoln, that Of charging the SUI
prem court,'so that by adding new
judges, in sympathy with the people.
past unjust decisions may be revers-
ed: can stand by the side Of the radi-
cal reformer who would make every
act affirmed by the people to be be-
yond review by any Judge.
Direct government is the best. as it
is the only platform on which ali re-
formers can unite.
Let US make no invidious COMPARE
sons by admitting any specific reform,
but give the people direct govern
ment-the key that will unlock every
reform door.

M1RAL AND LEGAL RIGHTS.

The public good is the supreme law.
Whatever tends to ennoble one hu-
man life and injure no one else, Is
therefore moral, and its possession is
a moral right. Whatever the law
permits one to do is legally right. 1t
all laws were wisely and honestly en-
acted for the public good, legal rights
and moral rights would correspond;
but when monopolists, trusts and the
the vast horde of private boodlers
are the power behind the throne
in every legislative chamber, it is
not surprising that legal and
moral" rights should be like the
Jews and Samaritans, who have no
dealings with one another. a mans
highest right is his right to himself,
mis- right to use his own body and
mind as he sees fit, SO long as he does
not infringe on any other mans
rights. But when we, by law, shut a
man Off from land, air and water. Civ
iIS W q lev llIIll VI NfNb & = ~
idler so much of Gods free earth that
millions of toilers must either starve
or else be robbed of half the products
of their labor by loafer in the guise
of an absentee landlord, it would
seem to be time to begin to harmon
ize legal and moral rights.
The landlords right is, like the
kings, purely Legal note divine but
very inhuman.
1t is physically easier to monopo-
lie land than air, but morally my
neighbor has as good right to rob me
by setting price on Gods free air,
as to set robbers price on a drink
from one of Gods free springs or
charge rent for an acre of Gods
virgin soil.
Unless voided by crime. every man
has an inalienable right to air to
breathe. water to drink, land to dig
for food. No idler's right to rent can
compare. in sacredness, to a mans
right to food.
Down to no bower of roses led the
path,
But through the streets of towns
where chattering Cold +
Hewed wood for fires whose glow was
owned and fenced:
Or through the fields it led,
Where Hunger reaped the unattain-
able grain,
Where Idleness enforced, saw idle
lands,
Leagues of unpeopied soil, the COM
mon earth,
Walled round with PAPER against
God and man.
