Fish and, Bird Law.


Izaak Walt0nites will be interest
cd in the bill which Representative
Caldwell OF Natchitoches has intro
duced for the protection Of 6sh In
Louisiana. Referring TO the mcas.
ure. Mr.. Caldwell said to me TO-
day:
NV bill differs from that Of 1898
in this, that Heretofore it has been
difficult to detect any one in the act
Of using explosives. ness and seines
In fishing. The present bill pro-
vides that any onel found in close
proximity to body OF water with any
Of these evidences on or about bic
person Or IN his possession shall be
guilty as though he was using them,
for to those agencies almost alone
are We indebted for the destruction
Of our fish, and which 90 largely in
terfere with this delightful sport.
"The bill also prevents the owners
or operators Of saw mills, saving
pine timber, from putting saw dust
or slabs In tue stream, water course
or bodies OF water on which they
are situated, As the turpentine,
together with the decomposition and
fermentation resulting therefrom,
kills the fish, especially in the small
streams and creeks Of North L0uisi-
ana, where tue best Of our fish 60
to spawn.
"This bill does not affect parties
owning private fish ponds construct
ed by themselves and for their own
use and benefit. In this sport, -
we'll as in cunning, the pirate 10
our worst enemy. as his deprsda-
tons are fast decimating our for.
ests, fields and steams."
Mr.. Caldwell also has . bird bill
that interests hunters. Concerning
it he says:
Owing to the opposition to the
House in 1898, which was . com.
promise bill and has proven made
quate and unsatisfactory, the sports
men and friends OF that measure
who are anxious that the little game
that has escaped the pot-hunter
should be protected have concluded
that the best means TO accomplish
this end IL to introduce separate
acts-one for the protection Of deer,
and the other for small game. The
bill I have in hand differs from the
act OF '98 in providing for IN earlier
and later season for shooting the
wood and teal duck, from the fact
that they come much earlier and
stay longer than The mallard, can
vass backs, etc. This is . conces.
sion made to the sportsmen on the
Gulf coast.
tin many parishes the law was
not enforced from the fact that
some game still existed in those
sections. The present bill will pro-
vide that the district judge charge
the grand juries 1t each term Of
the district court.
1--WE hope that the placing Of the
fines collected in the school fund Of
the parish where the ofYense 10 CON.
United will induce tine citizens Of
the different parts Of the State to
report infractions OF the law, - but
comparatively few OF the citizen
farmers are hunters. It IL not this
class that has made such inroads on
our small game, but the trappers
and pot-hunters swho claim to be
residents Of the State, and devote
their time during the season to kill.
ing and shipping game out OF the
State.
This bill shortens the time in
which to shoot quail and patridges
and extends the time for the shoot
ing Of wild turkeys"

GONE BEFORE.

In memory Of little Emelia Frederick
can close my eyes and see before me
The sweetest Of baby faces:
The eyes as blue Is the depths of the
sea;
The fairy form full OF childish graces;
The shapely head with the gold-brown
curls;
The white teeth, like row Of pearls;
The rosy mouth and the laughing lips
She seemed made only 70 pet and kiss.
She was % care-free and 80 blithe;
The little feet were meyer still,
For through her blissful little life
She wandered 1t her own sweet will.
One Of i've little ones she grew;
No lack Of loving care she knew;
And when Ut last she closed her eyes
The angels led her 10 the skies.
Twas on the lovely Christmas morn
The gentle messenger came down,
The very day that Christ was born.
That loving Savior of renown.
And now her work on earth il done,
And she . home in Heaven has won.
The picture has vanished; the form is
hid
Beneath = tiny connn-lid.
Her grave is watered BY your tears,
All on that cold. dark ground;
You wait, and strain your listening ears
To catch some baby sound;
But the silvery voice is forever stilled,
For 80 the loving Lord has willed,
Though your hearts may ache with
weary pain
Only to see your darling again.
Look up to the skies and behold tina
Shedding abroad its radiant light,
As It shines from the regions altar;
From the heavens 80 full and bright.
Through It your darling looks down On
You,
Sending her love aud blessings, too;
Praying that you His wisdom may zee.
Aad that his rod and star may comfort
thee.
Think Of her in her long, last sleep,
As only "gone before"
From the woes Of this life she haa found
relief,
As she waits on Jordan's shore;
Waiting and watching for parents dear,
And the four little sisters who loved
her here;
For after you leave LIES ditful strand
You'll Deet her In the better land.

Democratic Platform.

The Democratic State Conven.
ton, which assembled in Baton
Rouge last week, adopted the fol-
lowing platform.
l. We reafirm our allegiance to
the principles of Democratic party
as set forth in platform adopted
by the national Convention of Chi.
cago in 1896.
Q. We hereby instruct our dele
gates to vote for the nomination of
William J. Bryan, for the Presi-
dency of the United States, at the
Kansas City convention.
8. Having our faith grounded
on the Declaration of Independ-
ence, we still adhere to the doc
trine that call governments derive
their Just powers from the consent of
the governed" and We therefore
deuounce the imperialistic policy of
the present Republican admins
tratlon as unamerican and fraught
with great danger to the republl-
can institutions OF our country and
as subversive Of the principles Of
liberty guaranteed BY our Constitu-
ton.
4. We condemn the policy Of
the annexation Of the Philippine
Islands adopted by the Republican
party - q breach of national honor
and - contrary to the traditions
and teachings of the founders of
this republic, and we believe that,
as soon ~ q stable form of govern
ment can be established on said
islands, they should be given their
Independence on snch terms as may
be mutually agreed.
5. We believe that the pledge
made by Congress, before the war
with Spain, that Cuba should be
free should be speedily carried out
and that the government of the
island be handed over to her citl-
zens, 80 that we may not have
further exhibition of criminal pecu-
lation, to the disgrace and dishonor
of American manhood.
s. We denounce trusts and COM
binations IN the restraint of trade
and demand such legislation by
both Congress and the State
government as will promptly,
thoroughly and effectively relieve
the people from their burdens.
4. We believe that . nation
cannot long endure half republic
and half empire, ana oppose wars
of conquest and colonial posses
sions.
8. We oppose mAlitiarism. It
imposes upon the people an un-
necessary burden and is a constant
menace to their liberties. A
small standing army and . we'll
State militia are sufficient
IN time Of peace. In time of war
the citizen soldiery should be the
defense.
9. We earnestly urge that our
levee system be given liberal sup
port by the national government;
that our waterways receive all
improvements, and that
the channel of Southwest Pass, 1t
the mouth Of Mississippi river, be
TO the fullest extent re-
CURED by the wants Of commerce.
10. We favor the immediate
Of the Nicaragua
Canal by the United States Gov
eminent alone, and to beAeld under
its exclusive control and protection.
IL. We favor the election of
United States Senator'S by . direct
vote Of the people.
l2. We extead our sympathy to
the patriotic band of Beers who
are struggling against overwhelms
ing odds for the right of self-gov-
for their liberty, lives and
homes,
