THE STATE GAME LAWS.
MouBtnineers say IL Fsvors the
Rich.

There is much objection to the
present game law in West Virginia
and the next Legislature will be ask
ed to repeal it. The state game war
den is paid by the State and all the
penalties imposed 90 to the depu
ties. 1t is commended that the Sta te
should reap some benefit fl N the
fine. The law forbids the shipping
of game out of the State which il
hardship on the mountaineer who
hunts for the support of his family,
ana to satisfy his own hunger all the
fresh meat that the average mountain
eer eats is contained in wild game
that he kills.
1t is claimed by the mountaineers
that the laws were made at the in
stance of few hunting clubs who
want all the game preserved for their
rich members, the latter hunting
merely for the pleasure that it gives
them. Many of the inhabitants de-
pend upon the products of the wood

that unless the law is made more
lenient by whatever political party
that may control the Legislature,
they will make their influence felt
at the polls.
The nAslve hunter, it is contended
protects the game by killing of the
carnivorous animals which are
more destructive to game than all the
native hunters could be. The office
of game trden, as at present filled,
it is claimed, stirs up strife. hatred
and malice in q community among
the neighbors

that our section of the state is good

they can sell for $50 an acre. They
will be surprised to learn that Berke-
ley and jefferson county farmers are
selling the limestone under their land

will soon be worth $500. The Pitts

thousands ofacres at the $500 figure in

LINCOLN AS A POLITICIAN.

Mr.. Lincoln was a thorough politi-
clan in the best sense of the term,
says Bishop Samuel Follows. He rec
ognized the imperative need of parties
in American political affairs. He did
all in his power to build up the great
party which he so ably represented,
the party of freedom. But he was an
honest politician. His honesty was en-
tireIy compatible with a strong per-
sonal desire to fill the highest position
within the gift of man. Honesty and
lawful ambition are not contraries. Mr..
Lincoln never stopped to the packing
of primaries, to the buying and sell.
ing of votes, to bargaining with the
men of influence by promising them
office.
By the very laws of human action he
was constrained to reward his sup
porters with places of trust and profit.
Honest politics does not forbid this.
1t is not necessary to go to the length
of the motto Ito tie victQ's belong
the spoils" in affirming the principle.
No matter under what name a politi-
. cal movement may be carried on, it
cannot help becoming party move
ment. There must be an organization.
There must be prominent men within
it. There must be wheels within
wheels, and in all probability there
and a living spirit within that wheel

THE GREAT
EMANCIPATION.

Lincoln's birthday is holiday IN
several of the states. Lincoln was not
alone the best and ripest of the pro-
ducts of our democratic institutions;
he comprehended in his life and
martyrdom all that ever, in the 40
years of it's existence, has made the
republican party great and powerful
among the American people. And in
This birthday recognition the party
has freely acknowledged the fact.
And what did Lincoln especially
stand for? It was that the declaration
If independence applied to all men,
speaking at New Haven in March,
1860 Mr. Lincoln said:
"Do you know of any democrat, OF
either branch of the party-do you
know of one who declares that he be-
lieves that the declaration of indie
pendence has any application to the
negro? Judge fancy declares that it
has not, and Judge Douglas even viii
fies me personally and scOlds me
roundly for saying that the declaration
applies to all men and that the ne
groes are men. Is there democrat
here who does not deny that the dec
laration applies to a negro? Do any
of you know of one? Well, l have
tried before perhaps so audiences to
find one such democrat and never yet
have | found one who said did not
place him right in that Four or five
years ago we all thought negroes were
men and that when all men were
named negroes were included. But
the whole democratic party has de-
liberately taken negroes from the
class of bruteS."
"And one year later, speaking at
Philadelphia, on his way to Washing
ton, he said that he had rather be as
Sassinated on the spot than to act in
the view that the country could not
be saved without giving up the prin
ciples of the declartion of independ-
ence.
That was the key to his whole
career. The very life and heart of his
political creed were the declarations
there laid down that all men were
created free and equal, and that gov
ernments derived their just powers
rom the consent of the governed. By
rirtue of these applied principles he
lad himself been enabled to rise from
The most humble origin to places of
the highest trust and power, and his
great heart never permitted him to
wander from the conviction that the
people did not live on the earth, so
abject and miserable and ignorant, as
to merit exclusion from the broad and
fundamental rights of man there laid
down.

DEATH OF A BULL FIGHTER.
All Spain Grieves at the Passing of
Little Dominick.

All Spain was plunged into the
deepest grief at the death of Domin-
quin-little Dominick-the bull figh-
ter. There was no such general
lamentation and public display Of
grief over the disasters which Spain
suffered in the war with the United
States. The death of Campos did not
begin to touch the popular cord of sor-
row as did the death of Dominique.
He had more royal funeral. His
body was carried in a special train
from Barcelona. where he died, to
Madrid, where it was buried with
great pomp. At all the intermediate
stations at which the funeral train
stopped was heard a great sound of
lamentation, and at the station ia
Madrid there was a fight among the
eminent persons who cOntended for
the honor of acting as pallbearers.
Isabel la Segunda, the fat, aged and
sporty eX-queen. chimed in with the
national lamentation and mourned for
Dominquin in her little exiled court
in Paris, sending letters and kilograms
to Madrid and Barcelona expressing a
grief which seemed to be more pro-
found than that she expressed when
her royal son died.
Little Dominick was AZ years old
when he met his violent death. For
many years he had been the idol Of
the Spanish populace, and was &C.
counted the most graceful and &C.
complished bull fighter in the world.
He was wounded in the thigh in a
bull fight at Biarritz last month, and
before he had recovered fully went to
keep a professional engagement Ia
Barcelona. The injured muscles be-
trayed him, and when the bull charged
/ and Dominick tried to spring to one
| side he was not quick enough. He
landed on the horns OF the bull and
was gored to death in sight of the
great concourse of people who had
come to see him fight. Then came
his national funeral. A queen of the
ancient house of Bourbon wore a
mourning badge for him and grandees
of Spain came to "fisticuffs" for the
honor OF being among his pallbearers.
