pemoel ID I'd TarlR

Immediate revision Of the tariff is
the democratic platfofm announced
by ex-senator Hill Of New York,
although he knows that even should
the democrats win in the next presi-
dental election, it would be impos-
sible for them to revise the tariff.
What revision Of the tariff is made
viii be done by the people who
believe In q tariff, not by those who
are theoretical free-taders, even tho
they did not have the spunk to enact
a free-tade law, or one which did
anything but embarTass manufactur-
ing industries, when they had the
opportunity.

The Iowa idea

The democratic breach makers are
considerably alarmed over the pros
pect that the dissentiOns among the
Iowa republicans are about 70 be
amicably adjusted and that the state
will swing in line with the usual
great republican presidential majority
If the democrats would devote their
attention to breach-bridging rather
than exploiting supposed serious dis
sentions among their opponents, they
would stand in better way Of accom-
pllshing something.

Germany Investigating

Germany proposes to keep abreast
of American agriculture by sending
over a party of fifty eminent practical
and scientific agrieulturalists to make
an extensive tour of American farm
ing and fruit growing sections. Adj
vanced agents have been spying out
the land and have forwarded a report
to Germany advising the party how
to prepare for the American invasion.
In summer, the report states, "the
American wears light trousers, a
leather belt, a shirt and light jacket
Only at festival dinners are evening
clothes worm" and advice is given
that the party bring its own cigars as
nothing smokable in this line can be
had in the United States for less than
ten cents.
Perhaps the American idea would
be that fifty large Dutch mersehaum
pipes and bale or two of tobacco
would meet the latter demand.

"Game and Private Preserves"
Under the above caption a corre-
spondent in a recent number of the
Wayne Independent bewails the
present condition of our game laws,
and asserts that there is little game,
either fish or flesh, in our forests
and that little has been maintained
by reason Of the restocking of our
streams and woods by those owning
private premises. An act passed
this winter, and now law, requires
non resident hunters and unnatura-
lized foreign non resident hunters,
to procure a license in the county
which costs $40. This of course
repeals the law under which land
owners, though non residents, could
hunt in the state without a license,
and as it seems oompels every non
resident member of a park or pre-
serve to take out a license before
hunting even on lands of his sssocia-
ton. Why the legislature in its
wisdom did not except from the
operation of this law a man owning
land in this state and confning him
TO his own territory we do not know.
The ways of those who tinker with
our game laws are like the peace Of
God past all finding out and passing
all understanding. Close seasons
and penalties for violation of laws
are of no avail unless there is an
enforcement. Game commissioners
and game protectors when their
attention is called TO hagrant trans
gressions are too busy or too indif.
ferent to give them attention and
the law breaker feeling immune
becomes more reckless and an ex
ample for evil to others. A trespas:
law giving all land owners the power
as we'll as the right to protect theii
demesne from the encroachment o
all hunters or fishermen withou
permission would be the best gaml
law our Solons could pass. lie
every land owner become his owl
game protector and the game woul'
increase despite so much fool legis
lation.

In the matter of the application Of
Valentine Hipsman, executor, to set
aside sheriff's sale of lands of zoell-
ners in shohola purchased by Otto
Zoellner. On the part of applicant
It was contended that one Max Pet
zold, who came up from New York
for the purpose of bidding on the
property at the sale. refrained from
doing so at the instigation of zoell-
ner and that by reason of this the
land brought a much less price than
it was worth. AS evidence OF his
good faith Petzold rendered a certi-
fled check for $1,000, which he would
bid at resale. Otto Zoellner denied
the allegation of eollusion with
Petzold to prevent him from bidding
and contended that all negotiation
for the purchase Of any part of the
property from him by Petzold was
commenced after the sale. Decision
reserved.
