OF American Esteem.
New York. Sept. 1.-The initial step
towards the presentation TO Sir Thomas
Upton Of memento from the Ameri-
can people. probably In the form of a
silver service, was taken when the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted at a
meeting held at the Waldorf.
"The undersigned committee, named
to arrange a memento for Sir Thomas
Upton, feel assured that they repre-
sent a universal sentiment Of apprecia-
ton among all classes Of Americans
who love sport and admire sports
man. and. acting upon this assurance,
they suggest TO the general public
popular subscription to meet the end
in view. The Western National Bank
of New York has consented to receive
subscriptions. IL is desired that these
be national in character, since there
is no state or section where the pluck.
liberality and good temper OF our late
antagonist, ever our friend and now
our guest, have not won all hearts.

GAME wARDENs FOR COUNTIES

GAME WARDENS FOX COtNIlES-
We have noticed in the past few
DAYS that the Baltimore and Wash
ington newspapers are calling atten-
tion to yirginia's new gamelaws and
warning prospective hunters OF the
penalties to be incurred by violation
of their provisions. 1t is the unani-
nous opinion OF those interested IN
the preservation OF game in this
State that the laws mentioned. If
properly enforced, will result in a
large increase OF all kinds OF game.
Referring to that provision OF the
new law touching the appointment
of Game Wardens, We desire to again
call the attention OF our country
friends, and particularly those inter
ested In protecting the game in their
counties, to the necessity of having
wardens appointed in each district.
Already In fredericksburg and an
nearly every other city in the State
such wardens have been appointed,
and there Is no reason why similar
action should not be taken in the
counties. Read carefully the follow
ing provision as to the method, etc,
OF their appointment and the way to
bring same about, then go to work
and have 1t done:
Section 2070 CHI, Acts oi the last
Legislature, says:
Where the board of supervisors OF
any county shall, by resolution
OF record in the minutes OF said
board, request the Judge OF the cir
cult court for said county SO To DO,
the said Judge shall, upon the appi-
cation OF five resident freeholders OF
any magisterial district in said
county, appoint one suitable person
in such magisterial district as game
warden, whose jurisdiction shall be
confined to said magisterial district;
when the said appointment Is made
by the Judge, in vacation, he shall
certify the same to the clerk OF bis
court, who shall enter the same in
the order book OF his court in the
same manner as il made In term.
1t will be seen from the above that
the Board OF Supervisors must first
act. The Board will act II requested
to do so. The rest is easy.

II the Indianola postoffice affair
gave Capt. Yardaman, with his ex-
treme views on the negro question,
the highest vote In the first primary
over his two competitors, and a
majority in the second primary, it
shonld not be thought strange. The
people OF Alissississippi, and especial
ly about Indianola, have not been
treated we'll by the government, and
the entire State. as we'll as the South,
sympathize with them. These In
dianola people have had no mail ia
cilities for more than twelve months
except at their own expense, while
Minnie Cox, the postmaster, is in
some other part OF the country, per-
forming no service and drawing full
pay. Such things as these are max
ing it hard upon the white people oil
the State, but 1t will bring greater
hardships to the colored people, few
OF whom are responsible for this
state of things. The people OF the
State are indignant, and now that
yardaman is to be governor, with
perhaps the Legislature in sympa-
thy with his views on the race ques-
ton proclaimed in the canvass, we
may expect that measures will be
adopted not favorable to thecolored
race. And President Roosevelt and
the postoffice department will be re-
sponsible for all the mischief done.
