The following communication of .1 K H.-imilton, Esq, of Chester, to The New* anil Courier, will piopublv receive pretty general endorsement throughout this section: It would facilitate the protect i m of our wild animals and birds if, in a Mition to the present laws, it were clearlv detined to whom these belong, whether to the state or to the landowner, in or over who-e lands the name are found. At present the game is assumed to he the property of the state during the close season: hut any one's property during thj open seaso n. Under such conditions the far met* who ventures to prevent the destruction of the game and birds of any kind on his land must rely on the Ikvts of trespass, of post ng, etc, ditlicult to prove, to detect and to enforce. In the game and bird life on thn land he has no part or title by statute law and only a (pullikied right by common law It will surpri-e some of your readers to learn that this inc?.asi-tencv exi-ts in the Knglish In v, while I>y ilie Scottish law the j?amo on the land is? the absolute property <?f the landowner. An * consequence violation of the pitnn laws in Scotland are comparative ly rare, while in ICngland they are more f roquent. ()ur .statutes as to game and other birds are very numerous and scattered through the volumes of our Revised Statutes. Some of these laws can he repealed with advantage nod tho remainder after beino well sifted, should lie eons d'dated into one general law r _ - i- _ i - ior i n? wnoie suite, keeping iii view tlit* necessity of saving from destruction the birds ami game now remaining on.the land. If you make game t'le property of tho landowner, every fanner will become his own game keeper, and will soon find out the profit there is in having a good head of game on his land, and under the O 1 same law will he ub'e to protect the insectivorous birds that protect his crops. Give the farmer's game and birds the same protection as his property, and the law gives his stock and harnyard fowls and he will do the rest. The Only Way.?The sermon was on the downward path of tiie sinner, and the clergyman used the illustration of a ship drifting on the rocks. A jack tar who had strolled in became deeply interested. "The waves dash over her!" exclaimed Uie minister. "Her sails ere s j >! it' Her yards are gone! Her must* are shivered! Her helm is useless! She in driving ashore! There is no hope! What can save her now?" " Let go the anchor ye lubber?" yelled the excited seamen. He meant well: Hut they ran him for brawling, all the same.

It will surprise many of Senator Tillman's acquaintance* in these parts and will certainly, as it should, please the Senator to find praise or Mini tlowing from such conservative quarters us Senator Hoar of Massachusetts and the New V ork Evening l>(?st. The I Massachusetts Senator and the New York papor are quite th? antipodes of Senator Tillman and they represent a class that has usually held Tillman upas the extreme type of radicalism. Jt is a curious and interesting cireum stance, therefore, to find these two declaring their belief in Till man's honesty, ability and?conservatism. Senator Hoar's expression is j llUlda in nn nrlir?l*? ir? ? l>? V,,..?l. American Review, and the Post makes reference to Ami endorse inent of the Senator's judgment ak follows: "One thing in Senator Hoar's article which will surprise many people ia his tribute to Seeator Tillman. It is not simply that he considers the South Carolinian a man of terrifying frankness, who Minted out the truth ahout the suppression of the negro rote, ami tai nted the Republicans with their inability even to protest against it now that they are en lenng upon me name policy wholesale in the Philippines. Mr. Hoar goes further and says explicitly of the once dreaded "pitchfork" Senator: "He it, 1 think, an honest, manly and able statesman." And this, we have excellent reasons for believing, is not more Senatorial courtesy. Senator lloar i? only expressing the sentiment of many Kepubli I| I II I IIHmilllllMllBPII IIITM Bin liy >?!,! can Senators whose contact with Mr. Tillman has led them to reri-e their opinion of him. They find him, they say, * good lawyer, a student, a man of irreproachable private life, honest as the daylight, of readv wit and real ability, and with marked capacity for the routine work of legislation. It is a pleasure to put theso things on record. They show us once more that such extraordinary results as Senator Tillman has aceompli-hed ?if we look only at his unhorsing of the old Democratic oligarchy in South Carolina?argue mental power in the man who achieves them. We also see in his e*-<e one more reason for believing with that exultant Democrat, Ralph Waldo Kmerson, that the \ demagogues who, half orator, half assassin lit their way to Wash- ; ington, often heeome there cool ' ami competent rulers." Tillman Plies a Pitchfork South Carolina's Senator Sees Armor Plate in Politics. I A pecial dispatch to the Philadelphia Press from Carrollton, III., yestirdav says: One of the statements with which Senator Benjamin R Tillman of South Carolina opened the campaign in a democratic mass meet in jr here today was hi* lu>ld assertion that Senator Mark llunnu hud raided $2,000,001) or $3,000,000 from the armor plate makers and wan using it in the campaign. ''There are two concerns in the country which make this armor plate ? Carnegie and the Bathlehem," he said, "We had a contract on which we had been holding them the years. We had been keeping them down to $300 a ton. This year, on the last day of the session of congress, Mark Ilanna took charge of it He went in and ordered his henchman to give orders to the Secretary of Navy to make a contract for armor plate at wh it lie saw tit. I'll swear that Mark Ilanna, to the best of my belief and know ledge, hud an agreement with those two lirms to give him S2,ooo,0?)0 or $3,000,000 for the presidential campaign." The pitchfork senator concluded that, in pursuance sof Lincoln's wartime policy, the South had 10,000,000 "niggers'' turned over to it t > shoot and kill, and that now the ceuntry was getting 10,000,000 more for the north to shoot and kill.
