Slaughter of Game in South Africa

Slaughter of Game In South Africa.
From the AfrGca.1
During the four months of the sncot'
ing season of 1904 something like 10
900 head of game has been sold'o on
the Kimberley market. These figures
were rather staggering, but 1t is sur,
prising, perhaps. to hear that they
had more than doubled during the
present year.
The secretary OF the, Game Protec.
ton Association had obtained a re,
turn from the marketmaster which
showed that 29,119 head of game were
sold on the Kimberley market during
the period April 1 10 August Is last
If of that 29,119 head 1000 head were

$1,000 head of buck and birds which

a lamentable return, and clearly en-.

some action to stop the i%ndiscrimin.

The West Wirginian threw down a
pretty broad challenge, or perhaps it
might be called a real ugly looking
gauntlet to the insurgent papers
which have been so loud in their
boasts over the victory Of Judge Biz
zard IN securing his reappointment as
district attorney. We said Blizzard
displayed the white feather, raised the
asg Of truce. got down on his marrow
bones. crossed his heart and did yari.
Gus other things before the Senators
would stand for his reappointment.
II s a very noticeable fact that not
q single statement has been denied,
for the Blizzard crowd Knows that
what the West yirginian said is true.
We got a5straight tip from Washing,
ton a to Btizzard,s attitude and the
omfnous silence Of his Parkersburg
Dispatch IS additional evidence, were
any needed, that every syllable is true,
WeSdo not care to rub 1t in on the
Judge and wouldn't do so. If we didn't
think he deserved IT, we hope his
promise to be good viii be kept and
aTe willing for him to have his place
on suspicion. but knowing his con,
neetlon with the whiskey interests
the corporations we are dread,
rally afraid he will be tempted above
that which he can bear Furthermore,
we hereby serve notice on the West
Virginia Senators that Il Blizzard
breaks his promise and allows his in,
aurgent cohorts to keep on in their
pernieious activity In trying to dis.
rlpt the regular Republican organiza,
aon, we propose to holdsthemsto strict
account for rewarding smiling, po,
littcal traitor. who did more than all
the rest to embarrass Governor Daw,
son and the administration support,
At the last session Of the Legisla'
ture. we hope this may be our last
word on this unpleasant subject, but
win not be unless Judge Blizzard
and his crowd hereafter staua w the
policies Of the Republican party as
bid down in State convention.
