Otvnertihip of (iitme.
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of these laws can he repealed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.

Tillman As a Statesman.
Charleston Post.
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

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

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.

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

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.
