That is, move business is car­ ried onwhile Congress Is In session, there is more woik to fee done, more chances to be had, tltey ^cait and hope.

The lives of the mass of jovemawnt •clerks are very uncertain. They never feel secure about their positions. Even personal spite lias frequent^ been in-1 Htrumental in causing, removals, and' the greatest favorites cannot feel per­ fectly sure of being retained from on«i mouth to another, For some reason that t eanuot ex-; plainvGovernment. employees seldom' lay by any money.

The so-called "Washington Society" con­ sists of the families of the members of the Diplomatic service, of the Cabinet, of Congress* and of a few others fa­ mous for wealth or grefct public dis­ tinction of some sort. Theietore soci­ ety here has no claiins for Untie. SauTs subordinate officers. They live in con1- stant uncertainty and fear of removal which nearly always «omes sooner or later, and yet, strange as it appears, a discharged clerk is $lways eager for reiustatecaeat.

Prairie chicken and woodcock are- protected- between the 15th day of Jan uaj*y and 1st day of September, 2.

It is made, unlawful to net quail at any time. 4. Wild geese, ducks, snipe, brant or other water fowl are protected between the 1st day of May and'the 15th day of August. 5. It is; rawule unlawful f-or a nonresi­ dent of thip State to kill or trap in any manner any of-the above named^birds or animals, in any county of this State, at any time, for the- purpose of selling or marketing, or removing tfee- ssy^e ^utside of tij^ State. I! JtiT'Trades-sUmonisin Has its Jegiti- Uiate outcome and culmination iu the hanging of ten of its instruments for the cold-blooded murder of w»en who dared to oppose its irresponsible de­ crees. It is a dangerous thing for workmen to Join an assoeiallou whose object \t is to compel business men to submit to their dictation as to the maua.gem.eut ef their business^ and it is net to. be wondered at that when they so far forego their independence as to bind themselves the willing thral of designing and di sorganizing loaders they 3**e forced into deeds against whiqh*their seuse of humanity and Jus­ tice ij»ust revolt. The disastrous strikes required and engineered by the Trades Unions have resulted in fearful clistness. not unfrequently acoompanted by intimidation and assasslpation that have shocked the whole community.-- The whole coal region of Pennsylvania has long been kept in terrorism by the "Molly Maguires." Their tyrannical rulev however, is now b so ken.
