VICTIMS OF GAME LAWS.

The game laws of the State are i'm
perfectly understood even by sports
men. and what, therefore, can be ex-
pected of the Italian laborer who has
not beer long in this country and has
no means of obtaining knowledge of our
laws? These Italians, who go into the
suburbs on Sundays and holidays, see
birds of various kinds flying about and
they procure s%hotguns to shoot this
game, unknowing that the law protects
the birds and imposes a penalty for
shooting them. Game wardens who
happen to be near arrest the ~gunners,
who are subjected to the penalty of a
heavy fine. Just now the game wardens
are unusually v%igilant. A new Fish and
Game Commission has been appointed
and their jobs are in danger.
Last Saturday five Italians were ar
rested near Belleville for cunning, and
their fines aggregated $25S, a severe
drain on the resources of laboring men
ignorant of the law they had violated.
The only evidence against them, too,
was that of the game wardens, who get
one-third of the fine as compensation
for their services, in addition to their
regular salaries. 1t is a question, in
deed, if the evidence in such cases OF
officers who have a pecuniary gain in
establishing the guilt of an accused
person can be held to be good in Law
without confederation or confession
But. in fairness, the State should pro.
vide a means of informing the immi.
grant about the game laws so hat HI
may know that it is unlawful to shoof
birds or have wild birds in his posses
sion. AS it is, the ignorant gunner pay
dearly and most unjustly for the knowl
edge he receives.

state will await the developments.
Meanwhile the Assembly will be asked
to appoint committees to look into af-
fairs in Essex and Camden Counties,
and there is no reason why these coun
ties should be sighted. If investiga-
ton should show their affairs to be
all right, that result would be a public
benefit, and il would enable some sus-
picious taxpayers to enjoy better sleer
at night.

Governor Hughes, as commander-in-

The Colbyites had planted a tree. They

The New York Yacht club does not want to

The New York Yacht Club does not want to give Upton
another race for the Cup. The men dominating that organiza-
ton don't like Upton and they won't hesitate to put every
possible obstacle in his way. Whatever we may or may not
think of Lipton's motives in striving to win the Americas Cup,
we cannot approve of the conduct of the little coterie of snobs
who Ire for the time, unfortunately, the guardians of the Cup
and who have arbitrary power to name the conditions of COM
petition.
The Cup was given in the first place to promote yacht
racing, and every American with real sporting blood in his
veins wishes to keep a wide-open door for all competitors who
are willing to agree to reasonable conditions. And these condi
tons should not handicap a boat that must cross the Atlantic
Ocean. By insisting upon retaining to ourselves every possible
technical advantage and putting obstacles in the way of competitors
the New York Yacht Club misuuderstands and misrepresents the
popular sentiment of this country. J. M.

Jerseymen must feel proud of themselves as they read the
revelations concerning the Standard Oil Company and how by
.tickery and artifce it violated and defed the law. This is a
New Jersey corporation and it is the license issued to it by
our State that made possible its piratica1 achievements. Our
State Legislature aided the Standard in preventing competitors
from crossing the boundary line into New Jersey and finding an
outlet at the seaboard. And our State, disregarding its oblga-
tons to the other States of the Union, has never lifted a finger
to curb o check or regulate this creature which operates under
a charter bearing the great Seal of New Jersey.
But the Standard Oil Company was good to us. While
learning" one thousand per cent. o n the capital invested, il
contributed to our State treasury a share of the loot-sma11, t
be sure, but it was better than nothing and it helped some.

WYNOCKIE, Sept 3o.-Frank S Katzenbach, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, aroused great enthusiasm here Sat-
urday night by his eloquent address on Sun Spots n the
Moon" By closely sustained and logical reasoning he demon
|strated that these spots were caused by Republican misgovern-
Iment, and that if the people did not arise in their might and
smhe the misgoverness a calamity worse than the Deluge was
inevitable.
When asked after the meeting whether the reference to the
Deluge had any bearing on the Excise question in New Jersey,
Mr.. Katzenbach declined TO answer.
SWINEFIELD BRIDGE, Sept 3o-The whole country
side turned out this forenoon to welcome John Franklin Fort,
the Republican candidate for Governor. Irrigation the Hope of
the Republic was the keynote of Judge Forts address. He
told how the G. o. P. had rescued the western deserts and
made them bloom like flower gardens. Irrigation, irrigation,
irrigation had been the means of salvation there. If there were
any dry spots in New Jersey it would be his duty to search for
and locate them and apply the remedy.
How about the Bishops law2" shouted a man on the
edge of the crowd.
For answer the questoner was hustled off and chased for
nearly a mile. He is a worthless fellow who has long been
suspected of making appejack without paying tribute to the
government.

and talk to the voters. He is not well known hereabouts, but
the reputation that has preceded him guarantees a cordial well

professional and business men, mechanics. clerks and laborers.
The prospective auditors do not are particularly to know what
he thinks about the looting of the Pennsylvania State House,
nor do they feel like applying their minds at this particular
time to a discussion of executive interference with legislative
prerogatives. They do want Mr.. Katzenbach to face and
answer squarely these questions:
