Generosity.

Here are some more illustrations
of Republican generosity with the
peoples money. Yaquina, Oregon,
is port of entry, and the entire
receipts there last year amounted
to 40 cents. The expense of collect
ing this sum was 81, 034.70. At
Annapolis, Md, $500 in duties
was collected, the cost of collection
being 81, 1855. At Albemarle, N. c.,
the salary of the collector and his
assistant amounted to 81, 691. 9S,
while they collected the total sum
of $3.50. At York, Maine, it cost
1886 TO collect 90 cents, and the
same proportion exists at other
points.

GAME PROTECTION IN VIRGINIA.
:. b. WHITING.
Acting Secretary

w ltu ltit dppTO3cn OF the open
season for quail, ducks and snipe.
those hunters who are accustomed
to shoot in Virginia will do well to
take heed of the changes in the
game laws of the State which took
effect at the last session of the Nir-
ginia Legislature, when a volumi-
nous act amending and re-enacting
Chapter 90 of the Code of Virginia
was passed and ratified. The new
act Is a sort of dragnet statute,
covering every form of hunting.
and Is intended TO give the game
of Virginia n chance to increase.
1t provides severe penalties to
pOachers and violatorS of the many
new laws enacted.
1t Is made unlawful for sports
men to hunt waterfowl or wild
turkey at night, or to use nets,
traps, refiectcrs. sneak boats or
artificial islands in detecting.
capturing or shooting waterfowl of
any kind or at any time. The new
act also protects muskratS, and
forbids the hunting of this animal
in the night or with the aid of light
in the tidewater section of the
State. 1t also forbids the use of a
gun above an eight-bore for any
kind of game. The penalties for
disObeying the closed season are
made more severe, and during the
open season a heavy penalty is
levied for hunting after thirty
minutes after sunset. The closed
season beyond the Blue Ridge ex-
tends from December 81 to NOvem-
Der l, and on the east of that range.
from February l to November l.
1t is also made unlawful TO track
or shoot game, except wild turkey,
in the snow. For all such violations
the penalty is fine of from So to
$50, or thirty days Imprisonment,
or both. Under the new act the
various counties are given the op-
ton of shortening the open season.
The sections relating to game
wardens give those worthless only
limited power, as it appears that
they must be provided with a search
warrant in order to invade private
property, unless they see a viola
ton of the game laws with their
own eyes. The new act makes all
commanders of the oyster patrol
boats game wardens, with the
power to arrest all violators. 1t is
further stated that these oyster
patrol commanders shall receive no
extra pay for their duties, other
than what small fees they shall be
able to squeeze out of parties ar
rested in trial before some squire.
Another important feature of the
new law is the one requiring every
nonresident of the State to secure
a license, which will cost SO.
before he is able to hunt in the
State. The nonresident son of q
resident owner of land may. how
ever. hunt as if resident of the
State. The property-owners are
also protected by a section of the
new act, which is modelled after the
English game laws. 1t makes it a
breach of the law to hunt upon
private land in the counties of
Alexandria, Prince William. Stat
ford and King George, and within
five miles of navigable water.
whether the land is posted or not.
unless he have permit in writing
from the owner. The violation of

ANCIENT MILITARY SCHOOL.

The Louisiana State University
and Agricultural and Mechanical
College is known as the military
college of the South. 1t is located
at Baton Rouge and numbers
among its graduates many men
who are now officers in the regular
army. Gen. w. L. Sherman was
the first president of the institution
before the Civil War, and, not
outstanding his espousal of the
Northern cause, his memory is still
revered at this scene of his former
labOrS and his life-Size portrait in
oils occupies a prominent place in
the handsome assembly hall of the
college
The site of the university is
historic ground. 1t was for many
years a military post. and the gar
risons of France. England. Spain
and the United States have all at
different periods occupied it. After
it was abandoned for military
purposes it was turned over to the
State Of Louisiana for purposes of
education. The original buildings,
however, still stand, and. with the
flag floating over them, present a
striking and beautiful appearance.
Here. in 1879, Calves, the
Spanish Governor-General of
Louisiana. after an engagement
that lasted for three days, captured
the British garrison. The Spaniards
were in turn driven out in 1910 by
a party of Americans, and this
marked the passing of West Florida
from the domain of Spain. In 1861
the COnfederates captured the
post. and the nextyear a desperate
battle, involving both land and sea
forces. was fought near by, and
the Confederate ram Arkansas was
blown up in view of the land
batteries.
Many distinguished officers
served here while it was still a
military post. Among those whose
names are associated with the place
are Wilkinson and the first Wade
Hampton, Winfield Scott and
Zachary Taylor, Grant and Lee
and StOnewall Jackson, Mcclellan
and Joe Johnston. Bragg, Rose
cranz, LOngstreet, Harvey, Thorn
as and Beauregard, Forrest and
Phil Sheridan, Hardee and Hood,
Hancock and lister, Admiral
Porter and ''Risk2p'' General
Polk. Among the great civilians
we recall the names of Abraham
Lincoln, Clay and Calhoun and
jefferson Davis. There is hardly a
place elsewhere in the South 50
rich in historic associations.
The university is true to its
traditions. The sons of Louisiana
are soldiers by Inheritance, and
while they revere the cause for
which their fathers fought, no
Northern boys are today more
loyal to the flag which is lowered
at sunset every evening to the
well-known strains of retreat, while
the battalion of over 300 cadets
stands on parade at attention.
Everything about the university is
conducted on military lines. The
cadets live in well-ordercd barracks,
and by means of frequent inspec-
tons a proper system of discipline
is constantly maintained United
