'Astorian: Allow us to move to
amend the game laws so ns to
make it lawful to shoot calamity
howlers during the entire year, on
the grounds that they are nuis

Will somebody second the motion?
The contest over the gambling
license ordinance at Astorian is
ended by its defeat, and we shall
iexect to see peace and good will
prevail among the brethren of the
press in that city. There is now
pending an ordinance to prohibit
.all classes of gambling in that city
.-and is likely to pass.
What we do need is a law in
every stnte in the Union to prohib
it the erection of large buildings
unless they are built fireproof or
well provided with fire escapes.

burning of some fire trap, accom

Ex-Premier Mercer, of Quebec,
has opened his Campaign favoring
Canadian independence. "If we con
tinue in our colonial condition,"
he said "we recede, if we break
colonial ties, we will advance. De
molished the political wall whic h
seperates us from the United
States; destroy the conditions that
keep American capita! out of our
country and yeu would have in
pouring riches that would satisfy
most expectation."
The world's fair will be in the
inonnirerie business on a most ex
;i:.m.vu scale. It is said that "the
collection of animals from Singa
pore which arrived on Tuesday at
Jiiew York and will be exhibited at
the world's fair is one of the largest
over brought to the United State.
If Mr. Barnum were alive he would
turn green with envy at the sight
of a rival show containing 17 lion
and 16 cages of monkeys and would
not rest satisfied until he made his
collection as large. But perhaps
the overshadowing greatness of the
world's fair would have had a sub
duing power and he might not haye
deemed it necessary to attempt to
rival all its attractions under his
three tents."
(State Printer Baker has com
menced the publication of the
general and special laws, which
make a volume of about 1,000
pages, 300 of which will be gener
al laws, as against 190 pages two
years ago. The law requires the
state printer to get this work out
within ninety days after the ad
journment of the legislature, which
falls on May 17th this time. Mr.
Baker has always complied with
that law, and expects this year
to have them in the hands of the
bindery by May 1st. The force in
the office is getting up on an aver
age of thirty-four pages per day,
and commenced work on Monday
lust. The state printer, would, of
eourse, have been unable to have
the laws published w soon had it
not been for the dispatch with
which Secretary of State McBridc
famished him with copy. Ex.
