A Useless Law.

The closed fishing season begins Nov.

fishing of any kind with nets il per-
mitted during that time, and State Game
Warden Fullerton gives warning that
the law will be strictly enforced this
year. All the fishermen along the shore,
without exception, brand this law .as q
farce. The presumption is that the law
is INTENDED to protect the. fish during
the spawning season. These mon, bas-
ing their statements upon years of tx.
sperience, say that tho spawning season
for trout begins about Oct. 10 and ends
about Nov. TO- Trout hslrfml,,enl do not

White Robin in Maine.

An albino robin which has mated
and built nest in Bangor is causing
considerable comment among bird low
ers and observant people generally,
says the kennebec Journal
The bird, while not literally white
from head to foot, has enough light
feathers to make him a decided curl
osity, not to say freak. The whole
back of the robin is white. Many Ban
gor people have seen the bird, which
Is quite tame and has nest near tho
house of the Hon. F. A. Wilson, at the
cornor of Broadway and Somerset
streets.
The little curiosity may be seen
nearly any day in that vicinity digging
for worms or going about, his daily
routine Ia a quiet and gentlemanly
manner, not at all as freaks usually
act.

Lawn Tennis and Tennis.

There are thousands who imagine
that tennis and lawn tennis are iden-
tical. In America tennis, the mother
game, is always known as court ten
MIS-" whereas lawn tennis is generally
known as tennis" The games are in
many respects very different.
The court, which in lawn tennis is
open, in tennis is closed at the back
an1 sides by the walls, and almost in
variably above by a roof. There is a
considerable amount Of play off the
back and side walls. The balls are
harder than lawn tennis balls being,
in fact, of the consistency of cricket
balls. Hence the rackets are heavier
and the gut is thicker.-Fay's Maya

THE INDEPENDENT VOTER.

The independent voter is the object at
solicitude on the part of party leaders
everywhere. In Democratic strongholds
the Democratic politician lectures the
independent voter for his icon trariness,' y
while in the Republican stronghold it ia
the Republican leader who pleads with
him to be loyal to his party-to vote the
ticket straight.
What is it but the independence of
voters, deaf to such appeals, that retains
for the country the great services of
such men as LaFo]lette of Wisconsin,
Folk of Missouri, Weaver of Philadel.
phia and Jerome of New York.
Though he was not inslstent, Con-
gresham Bede touched upon this phase
of politics in his speech here Tuesday
evening. He argued that the independ-
emit is most easily influenced by the use
of money and is, therefore, the common
prey OF special nterests-particularly so
in national and state politics. But, hav.
ing in mind recent exposures Of whole
sale campaign contributions for the
manipulation of party machinery, this
argument seems weak. Monied interests
do business with the parties rather than
decker with Tom, Dick or Harry.
Mr.. Bede would not, he said, support
candidate because of his politics un-
less he knew him to be as good or bet.
ter than his opponent. It seems to:us
this declaration is the ideal of independ.
ence and is inconsistent with all appeals
te partisanship. But the strict partisan

In both parties alike; the independent
voter simply uses the right to exercise
his own Judgment. i !.
It is only the lack Of Independence
that makes possible the tyranny politics,
holding the people blindly servile until
conditions become undesirable. -,
Justifying his vote for Grover Cleve-
land, Mr.. Bede showed that public well
fare, at times, depends more upon the
man than the party. And, having voted
for Cleveland, it was independence that
turned him back again to the party of
HE birth.
IT it were not for the Independence Of
voters in breaking away from old party
ties to give aid and comfort to John G.
Fremont in the establishment Of the
Republican party there might never have
been such a party.
But for independence we would live
and die in the faith of our fathers.
There would be no change.
Independence directed by high pur-
poses and patriotic motives is the very
essence Of freedom and is the only guar
antee of our continued happiness az a
people.
The independent voter is not to be
discouraged.
