Big Haul of Seigners.

For some time rast it has been be-
lieved that seigning of fish in the
Pecatonica river, in Lafayette coun-
ty, was going on, in violation of law.
Officers had been informed, and last
week party was organized to catch
the law breakers. On Thursday
night the watchers came up to a party
of depredators, working by the light
of the moon, in the river near Gala
mine. Six were captured, and the
next day taken before a justice of
the peace and fined, the expenses to
each, including costs being $3.50 or
S225.00 in the aggregate.
The poachers are all reside nts of
the vicinity in which they We're APP
pretended, generally sons of farmers.
We have learned the names of only
two or three of the party, and not
wishing to seem partial withhold
those from publication for the pres
ent. A rumor says that similar
haul was made near Gratiot lately,
and two individuals put up $50 each
for the same otfense. These exam
plies, it is hoped, will put stop to
unlawful fishing in this vicinity.

For Starving India.

dying of hunger daily, yet we are
not appalled,, nor stirred to effort for
| their relief as we should be. But the
people of this vicinity are not wholly

truslve ways something has already

fifty dollars. Rev. NJ. Chase, rector
of the Episcopal church, is stirring
his tock along the same line, so ii is
safe to say that this people are al
ready To be credited with about
$4,000 contributed to the cause. But
more should be done, and it is there
fore suggested that in each of these

thus far have contributed nothing

1t is to be regretted that labor and

cably. They are twin'sisters>end
should go hand in hand. Capital
must have labor and the laborer
must have his hire in order % subsist.
There is obviously a mutual depend
eney existing between them; and 1t
is a deplorable state Of affairs when
they antsgonize each other. The
various strikes in different sections OF
the country are to be deplOred, yea,
verify, condemned.
50 far as we are advised strikes
never resulted in substantial benefit
to either laborer or employer. Hard
feelings are their natural fTuit-to
say nothing of the loss Of time, and
often the destruction of property and
sometimes life.
We would hail with Joy the day
when strikes shall become thing OF
the past, and labor and capital per
form their respective functions in
peace and good will to fellow men,
and when the wheels of industry shall
make their revolutions with music
uninterruptedly to cheer the hearts
of honest workmen and make
happy homes.
