ABOUT FISH LAWS.
We notice in sovcml exchanges,
and especially in tho Now York
Farmer, articles condemning the
passage of laws preventing fishing
by other means than rod, hook and
lino. Wo are in sympathy with pro
per laws.rogulnting fishing. There is
a largo class of utterly irrosjxmsible
persons, which if not restrained
would soon depopulate every stream,
regardless of profit to themselves.or
to tho rights of others. It is a fact
hero tlmt boforo tho sooBon opens

, boon invaded, by thorn who disre.
gard tho laws, and aro only a law
unto themselves. Tho honest sports
man waits until tho time is up only
to find that ho has lx;en anticipated,
and he must take the leavings of the
vagabond who did not wait. If eel
weirs, fish baskets, or pots would be
honestly constructed, and so usod as
not to destroy everything in the
rivers, thoy might lo made a source
of profit and benefit. Tho cupidity
and rocklessnoss of those who oroct
these traps generally load them to
violate tho provisions of tho law,
and thus they become on injury to
the public interest, by their dostruc
tivenesa of small fish. Wo do not
know how it may bo in other places,
but we do know that fish wardens
may bring reproach on the very
laws they are supposed to enforce,
and thus render not only themselves,
but the law obnoxious. What we
want is a law which while it will
protect the fish, will also enable
them to be taken when of proper
size by moans which will not kill
everything in tho waters. Then we
want wardens against whom the sus
picion will not attach, that they are
tending bar when they should be
employed in tho proper discharge of
their duties, or winking with one
eye at a violation, and with the
other alert to discover and punish
gome violator who has no pull.
There is a golden mean in this
matter, which would satisfy, and it
can be attained.
Pass laws not illiberal in spirit to.
ward either the public or the fisher
man, and then appoint wardens who
have no favors to bestow, or appeti
tes to restrain them, in the equal,
and exact discharge of their duty in
seeing that the law is rigidly and in-
discriminatingly enforced.
"gETTTNU RICH.
In 1895 the United States uniorted
about two hundred million dollars
worth of products all of which we
could have produced ourselves
Farm animals, breadstuffs, eggs
. flax, fruits, hay, hops, oils, provi
sions, seeds, sugar, vegetables, and
of wool over thirty throe million dol
lars worth. And we paid for it all
in gold. Add to this the amount we
paid to foreign shippers to carry our
produce across the ocean and what
we paid them to haul things here
and the interest we puid them on
borrowed money and dividends on
stocks, and it amounts to over six
hundred million dollars. Three
fourths of the above is paid by
American farm products.
There will soon be a call for unoth
er popular loan. Farmers haul some
of your Democratic, dollar wheat to
market, and take a few thousand
dollars worth of bond,, If yon can

BakMstoii, N. .T.. March tlth.
Tho church row at (Vntrevil1o is as
suming: vnst proKirtions. Hero is
an epitome of the whole story. In
May lastmrly stories were in circula
tion reflecting tiiion the reputation
of the Itev. C. W. Dcming. Charges
were preferred ngninst dim before
the) ljuiirtorly ConferentiC by J. V.
Major and John lounirs, both
trustees, and meinlx-is of the Cen
treville Church, but the presiding
officer Rev. A. A. Craig refused to
entertain tho charges. Mr. Doming
called a meeting for tho eltxiioti of
trustees on hob. 14. At that meet
ing trustee Young called the meet
ing to order and proceeded to nomi
nate and unanimously elected J. V.
Major, chairman, and W. 0. Hursh
secretary. Mr. liemitig objected
and was ruled out of order bv the
chair roHatedly,but utterly refused
to oltey the chair, and ho and his
party created so much noise that he
and party went to the vestibule, and
nominated a list of trustees and up
on re-entering tho church proodcd
to elect, without secretary or chair
man. Trostco Young had onnoun.
cod a meeting in the church on Feb.
18, to fully explain all charges
against Mr. Deiuing, but before the
hour set, Mr. Dinning announced di
vine services, and not wishing a col
lision Mr. Young and friends went
to the residence of J. V. Major and
honied the Minister over the coals in
groat shapo at the sumo timn offer
ing Mr. Dcming 75 dollars with
which to prosecute J. J. VaOsickle
for slander, but the Reverend gen
tleman declines to accept it. Mr.
Deming's friends put a lix-k on tho
church do jr to prevent tho trustees
from holding a business meeting on
the 25th when Trustees Major and
Young entered the church by a win
dow and removed the look and trans
acted their business. Frank Lay-
ton, the third trustee, sworo out a
warrant the next day and Major and
Young were taken to Newton where
they gave bond for the April term
ofoourt. A social was announced
again but did not take place. On
the 29th Major and Young went to
the church and finding an addition
al look on tho dtxir quitely smashed
the lix-k and entered tho edifice.
No arrest for that. On March 6th
the social was again announced to
be held in the church, but Lay
ton, Bonsly and Lodor borricodod
the church so effectually that
entrance was impossible, and yet
that social was for paving for in
suranco and repairs of that church.
This row will eventually disrupt the
church as evorylxxly is taking sides
for or against Mr. Doming. But
why don't Mr. Doming prosecute for
slander?

1-ATTOV, N. J., March 10.
MR. KimtoR: Having always been, and
nxppct.ltift to remain a permanent oltlien
of tills community, and having neither
gone to war, nor had my scalp lifted yet at
this ilatn, 1 think my claim that. I try and
Igh lmth shies of the question of the
day fairly and reasonably, niny be. con
ceded. We am now In full view of a church
war, and none others aro known that
equal them for bitterness. You may le-
lluvn nio when I say that In thorn rows
their gun are ranged to rover the whole
ground, and .lucky Is ho who can keep on
neutral territory. Then; are principles In
volved that make this eonllUt of Interest
to the public, and 1 excuse, myself on this
ground for bringing the facts lx'forn them.
During the early summer a scandal was
bruited abroad reflecting unpleasantly up
on tho character of Kcv. C. W. Dcming,
pastor of the M. K. Church at. Ccntrevllhi.
This would havo posxlhly died out had the
pastor not commenced upon and aired It
fri-ely from the pulpit, with bitter rcfloo
tlons tijKin, and threat of prosecution
against those who had exposed hi unmlo
Istorlnl conduct. Tho explanation from
the pulpit a well a at other time and
place develoxd m:h glaring lnconalsten-
les that It set Messrs. John Young and
John V. Major, monitor and trusteed of
the churoh.to investigating which reaulted
In their preferring charge agal nt their pas
tor. Thoe charge were adroitly evaded by
the pastor transferring the bunion of meet
ing them upon the board of trustecs.and by
them, in Indefinitely shelving them. Mr.
Youngs wishing the public to hav"e the re
sult of hi Investigations annminoed that
he would deliver a lecture upon the sub
ject at the ehurch on Feb. Kith. The pas
tor evidently not wishing the light turned
on, called an annual trustee meeting for
the 14th. The meeting organised on the
hour, J. V. Major waa elected chairman,
W. C. Hursh, secretary, both unanimously,
J. Van Pickle in plaoe of Francis Lay-
ton, J. V. Major and John Young to uo-
coed themselves wore nominated. The
pastor thereupon made vigorous protest,
claiming it a his meeting, and stating
that it was called to prefer charges against
tho old board. Tho chairman ruled the
pastor out of order on the ground that this
was an annual meeting according to the
notice, and charges oouid not therefore be
entertained. The nomination mentioned
being seconded were carried by a vote of
All to 10. Tho pastor then under protest
from chairman placed William C. Drake
In nomination who was defeated. The
pastor urged Mr. Drake to accept the chair
anyway but he declined to act stating that
he was in the minority. The pastor and
alxuit a down of hi adherents then se
ceded and went Into the hall where ar
ranging a program hastily, they returned.
Tho minority of not more than a dozen
nominated the pastor a chairman and he
putting only the affirmative voto declared
himself elected. Ho then proceeded to
name Ave or six of Ida friend n trustees,
calling only for tho afllrmativo vote and
then declaring each one elected. There
was no secretary elected and tho negative
vote wa not called. After the return of
thu pastor and the minority from the hall,
tho entire proceedings were under em
phatic protest f mm tho regular chairman,
and the majority, whose rights were being
ruthlessly rixle over by tho pastor and his
few determined adherents and amid great
disorder.
It was a most unseemly xrtjulo. Kvcn
our f reoholdcr who should havo main
tained a becoming dignity made a very un
pleasant exhibition of himself In the melee
and came near precipitating a free fight.
Ho is hardly excusable under tho plea of
Intoxication, and wo aro happy to say there
was no other case of the kind observable.
Tho not 1(50 for tho trustee meeting being
illegal, tho whole proceeding is obviously
void. Tho old board therefore hold until
tho annual mooting for the election of
trustees In May, although the pastor claims
his as the legal trustees. The lecture
which all this was to prevent, was still
sanctioned by the majority of the trustees
and assured to take place in the church.
Tho pastor now turned his attention to
heading it off In some, other manner. He
Interceded with Sheriff Qunderman but
the sheriff turned a deaf ear. He then se
cured Constable Dlllistln, of Branchvillo,
and prepared to hold religious servioes at
the same hour and plaoe as was advertised
for the lecture. Mr. Young and his friends
being law-abiding citizens and averse to
engaging in an unseemly row, or resort to
force as the pastor and his friends anti
cipated, quietly adjourned to the house
ot John V. Majors where an able lec
ture was delivered to fully one hundred
people. The charges before made were re
iterated, with others of like degree. Many
corroborative acts, with the equivocations
of pastor Deming were clearly stated and
the climax was reached when the lecturer
assorted that he believed that justice and
right would prevail, that the guilty should
be punished and the Innocent vindicated,
and to that end there was a subscription
in his hands to the amount of ITS, which
upon proper guarantee that the pastor
would use it to prosecute his accusers and
clear his character he could draw at will.
Messrs. Majors and Youngs followed this
later, advertised social at the church
Feb. 39, to raise money to pay for insur
ance on the church, now past due, and
which Mr. Majors as trustee had given his
note for, any surplus to be used for the
benefit of the church. The pastor and his
friends put a new lock on the door. Trus
tees Majors and Youngs entered after us
ing the only key that is the property of the
church, (the other being a private key held
and owned by Mrs. John Snider,) presum
ably the now lock was broken when Majors
and Youngs entered.
At least they were arrested under the in
stigation of the pastor and Francis Lay-
ton. They gave bonds to appear at April
term of court where it will be settled who
are the trustees and other matter relating
to it will also receive attention. The so
cial was not held however on account of
the severe storm, but was adjourned to
March 6th. On that date the pastor and
his friends barricaded the dour with heavy
timbers, put on a new lock and strongly
Intrenched themselves within. Of course,
they held tho fort. The social wa again
adjourned without day. On the 7th there
was a little stir as usual preliminary to
candidates for the spring flection. The
pastor's friends smelling a mice held the
fort again Saturday iilght, but no effort
was on foot to enter, apparently a false
alarm. Tho guilty flee when no man pur-
sueth. It socms evident that at the bot
torn of all the evil lies this fact that
the pastor's end will be gained if the in
vestigation can be fought off until after
conference meets. Yours, truly,

Layton, N. J., March, 6th 1R98.
Mb. Editor :- Mr. E. B. Kintnor in
last weeks (falsetto airs his unfortu
nate remark olxiut tho Tnppnntown
iron bridge at great length, but foils
to tell his roaders what tho remark
was. His article with the remark
omitted is somewhat like tho play
of Iliimlet with Hamlet left out. It
dxis I fear haunt his droams, and
like Bonquo's ghost it will not down.
At tho close of a conversation as to
the cost of that noted bridge, the
brilliant remark was mado as fol
lows. " It makes no jmrticular dif
ference to mo for my tax is always
the some, one dollar. " It would
have boon much wiser,nover to have
said it, but having said it 'twould
also have been much wiser to have
honestly owned it. One difficulty
like ono lio leads to another, and
genoraly each succeeding one, as Mr.
Kintner's experience must teach him
loods deoix?r into the mire.
Mr. Kintner says in his affidavit
that ho told mo on Feb. 4 that ho
had mado tho remark quoted, in
Nowton, that is true. Ho also says
I told him on Feb. 4 that the remark
was addressed to .Daniel Ctinnor.ond
that I overheard it. That is not tho
truth. I did not tell him so. He
made the remark at tho close of a
conversation with Messrs Carmor
and Evcritt, as he was turning to
leave the polling place, and I again
repeat that I have not stated to Mr.
Kintner, nor to any other person
that the remark was addressed to
any particular person. Mr. Kint
ner evidently realizes that unloss
this untruth was included in his
statment the affidavits of Messrs
Carmer and Evoritt in which neither
recollects nor remembers anything
would lack both point and relevancy.
Mr. Kintner further says he did not
make such remark in his official
capacity as Freeholder, about the
Montague bridge. Well then by in
ference he made it in an unofficial
way. I never claimed it as his offi
cial utteranoe. No indeed, I will
admit that he waa off duty as well
as a little off otherwise just at that
particular time. I will also admit,
if Mr. Kintner claims it, that he
may not himself remember that he
made the remark quoted, at Tut tie's
Corner. It waa election day, a day
of liberal libations, and his friends
and all who know him well, will
therefore make due and liberal al
lowance, as I do, for any lock of
memory on his part as to what oc
curred on that day.
