The History of Hunting.

The recent newly awakened in
terest in the life and times of King
Alfred. due to the celebration of
the thousandth anniversary of his
death and the placing of statue
at his birthplace, has resulted in
some interesting information on
the evolution of the sportsman
One may see, by reviewing the
customs and conditions of Alfred's
time, how it WAS that hunting came
TO be regarded as the noblest of all
amusements 1t was absolutely
necessary for the safety and vel
fare of the people that the wolves,
bears, wild boars and other dan
gerous animals which then roamed
over England, should be extermin-
ated; and, of course, the king and
his knights, as the bravest and
best armed oil the lighting popula-
tion, were setting good example
and doing good service in their
hunting parties. These conditions
continued for some hundreds of
years and the nobility of the sport
of hunting became firmly estab-
Iished and hedged about with
many traditions as to the proper
method of killing the game. The
persistence of traditions in Eng
land is proverbial; and hence, after
the whole country became as safe
rs barnyard, people continued to
suppose that there was something
essentially courageous and fine in
deer stalking and grouse-shooting.
The question now confronted by
the intelligent American citizen is
this: Whether it is necessary for
new country to take over the
ideas and conventions of its parent
on this subject. Are we to con-
slider man a sportsman because
he kills rabbits and pigeons, as his
father killed bears and panthersY
Is the man WHO takes his sport
with rod and gun any more manly
or brave than he who arms himself
with a camera or microscope? The
Englishman would probably say
yes, because he was brought up to
believe so.
The fact seems to be, however,
that mere ability to go popping
about with a gun does not consti-
tute sportsmanship The old time
huntsman, encountering stag at
qy with the primitive weapons of
his day, certainly did need to be
brave; his modern prototype, armed
with repeating rifle, is generally
safe; the animal is the one who
needs courage. The idea that
there is some peculiar manliness
in shooting harmless animals, is,
let us hope, vanishing illusion

A DELEGATION of Chicago bust
ness men called on the president
this week to urge the esta blish-
ment of the department of com
merce an industry with cabinet
officer at its head They informed
the president that they were mem
bers of the executive committee of
the National Business League,
and they reminded him that the
Philadel phia platform contained a
plank favoring such department.
Another plea from Chicago which
was filed the same day came from
Representative Boutell who urged
upon the president the abrogation
OF the Rush Bagot treaty entered
into with Great Britain in 1877.
Mr., Boutell spoke in behalf of the
shipbuilders of Lake Michigan
and particularly of South Chicago
who want share of government
patronage. They represent that
they have every facility for build
eng the smaller vessels of the navy
but are deferred from competitor
by the provisions of the above
named covention which forbids the
building of naval vessels on the
lakes in either country. Mr.. Bou-
tell explained that at the time
the treaty was entered into there
we're no canals connecting the
lakes with the sea and its provi-
sions were designed to save both
countries from the expense of
building and maintaining naval
forces on the great lakes. The
president told Mr.. Boutell that he
would bear his request in mind,
but in view of the fact there was
one treaty with Great Britain now
in process of negotiation he did
not deem it advisable to take up
another at the present time.

4DAMN THE NEWSPAPERS. .

Do not be shocked, gentle reader. for
the above is merely quoted from 80 re-
spectacle n publication as the Atlantic
Monthly, or from advance sheets of it
sent to the press No one takes greater
pride in the newspaper than its editor,
or publisher; no one takes greater pains
to make 1t acceptable to the public. and
no one is more conscious of its errors
and limitations. The publisher is aware,
too, that he has host of appreciative
readers who admire the papers good
qualities and overlook its errors. He is
also aware that there are unjust and
Unfair critics. The T.-R. refers to this
subject now and here to quote writer
in the Atlantic, Charles E, Grinnell.
who says "the average critic Of the
newspaper does not own stock in any

newspaper, and does not know the cost
critic he AYERS that he may be lazy
the papers are Industrious for him; he
may be stupid ,-they are intelligent for
him; he may be timid,-they are bold
for him; yet he damns the newspapers.
When q reporter, working day and
night, throws the ardor of youth or the
horror of age into tragic scenes from
court where every one with heart was
in tears, he damns the newspapers.
When an editorial-which he hunts for
before breakfast in order to know what
to think Immediately after some mo-.
mentous tragedy-is not exhaustive, he
.damns the newspapers His especial
condemnation is bestowed upon what he
truly calls the vulgar publicity of the
newspapers" and SO on. ad infinitum.
However, the reporter or editor or
publisher is not daunted by such con-
domination. Conscious of his good pur-
pose, conscious of his industry. and
wide-awake in his aim to be as accurate
and as thorough as the brief time al
iotted him will permit. he goes on say
ing nothing in elf-defense, but saving
wood regularly for the public, and hop.
ing that his reward may come from
more generous readers. as 1t surely
does.
This unfair critic would serve better
purpose were he to spend as much time
in contributing to the betterment of
newspapers as he does in condemnation,
for it is better to be neighborly and help
full than to be severe and unfair.

An UNJUST CHARGE.

The democratic Dubuque Herald COM
,lains to the extent Of a column that the
Cummins press has stopped to attack
the personal character of Candidate
Phillips in its endeavor to boost the po-
litical fortunes OF Cummins. From this
it reasons that the quiet campaign
Phillips has been making has given the
Cumminss papers a scare.
Now the T.-R. editors claim t, be do
ing as careful work on its exchange ia
BILE as any of the profession. and feel
called upon to ask the Herald to be hon
est in its campaigning. So far as we
have seen the republican press has been
particularly careful not to slur the pri-
.yate character of Candidate Phillips, no
matter how much was said or how much
said editors might know about him. On
the other hand, the charges that have
been published in the most defiant man
ner daring the candidate to deny them
and calling upon him to institute libel
suits il the charges were untrue, have
appeared in the columns of democratic
papers, whose editors are SO disgusted
with their party that they will SO TO any
extreme to chastise 1t. The things they
have been printing the republican press
has not dared copy even. for fear of
making Phillips an object OF sympathy
and creating the opinion that the CAM
.paign was being waged in the mud In
view of this situation, which has been
very apparent to every intelligent OBJ
server, the statements of the Herald
should not go unchallenged. IN the col
umns OF the republican press Mr.. Phil
lips has received unusually courteous
treatment, much more 50 than would
have happened had he been above re-
proach. The bold, bad things said about
him have appeared In the papers that
have bolted the party. its principles and
its candidate, and we believe the Herald
knows this full we'll.

rHE BOGUS CHECK GAME.

Criminals are adroit in working along
certain lines until the public IL aroused
and everybody is on guard IN that d.
rection. Then the rogues are Inclined to-
drop that particular mode OF fleeing
the unwary for awhile. Just now, as re-
ported by local banker, the. issue of
bogus checks seems to be almost cpl
tlernic. The banks are not SO much
'yictimized as are their customers, who
seem to be willing to ACCEPT checks
without close scrutiny orr are too careless
about endorsing for some chance ac-i
quaintance only to find themselves
obliged to pay for their willingness to
accommodate one whom they really did
not know. There is more of this bogus
check business than the public is aware

the Ills OF silence rather than those Of
publicity

The exercise of more care is required,

OF present business activity and easy

endorsers. The safest plan is to endorse
checks or drafts for no one not known
