Against Cruel Sport. The present revulsion from the killing of animals in sport D an Indication of the Increasing delicacy of the sensibility of this time. The thought of inflicting needless pain on any living creature as a means of obtaining pleasurable excitement has become horrible to them. The explanation of the change, says the Buffalo Enquirer. Is simply that men have begun to think about the question. They had gone about the killing of birds and beas's without a thought of anything except their os n spore Now they have begun to look at it from the point of view of the animal killed or maimed. "1 would now about aa soon think of shooting at a baby as of firing at a bird." la the way In which a noted sportsman for many years expressed his newly awakened feeling. Undoubtedly the societies lor the prevention of cruelty to animals have helped to torn men's thoughts to the cruelty of such sport, but probably the growth of regard and affection for animals which has been stimulated by horse and dog shows baa had more to do with It. The animal risen to a new place of dignity. It become a creature to which more c sideration la given. Besides, the whole lone of modern society la of a deeper sensibility. Pain i 0 itself shocks the nerves of the observer of It. A little bird struggling in the agony caused by a sportsman's bullet Is likely to stir In him a feeling of pity which turns pleasure seeking into mournful self-accuaa-tlott. So frequent la this feeling that it must have a decided effect In lessening the shooting of birds and beasts for

ATTORNEYGENERAL.

(OOXT1NDKD rttUM THIKD PAPE) J** Ukknuu Now. the only reason that a state tax on the projierty of Individuals has Imvhi avoided la tiecauae of the rvwnTh- derived bv the atate since 1RS4 from the tux oil trlacellaueous cortwratlona other tbi; .Milroad*. But I fear there la no Mahstantfsl reason to expert a continuance of that large Income. New Jerney, aa you are all aware, wan the pioneer In the adoption of a liberal code for the formation and conduct of corporations (other than railroads), and coinpaulea from all over the world have taken oot ebartera under It* laws and contributed largely through the payment of franchise and abunal taxes to Its revenue. This Income has been swollen unusually during the last few years by the formationiiuder our laws of several large compmiles. which fir the want of a better name I will dedgnaie mb ••trusts." I imagine, bo were*, that the period for the formation of such companies has about passed and that we may no longer ex lied the large receipts from that sdutve. Meantime other common wealth* have observed with envious eyes the large revenue our state has thus been receiving. ; and with the hope of sharing If not mouoi-ollxing It themselves they hare either copied our corporation law or amended their own more liberally than ours. The result is that In Maine. New York. Delaware and West Virginia, not to speak of other states, there have qnlte recently been passed laws governing miscellaneous corporations that are claimed to he qnlte as available as and even more so than our .own. Advertisements have been distributed broadcast drawing the attention of proponing Incorporators to the advantages of these laws, and magazine articles and even books have been written to exploit them. The natural result baa followed, and I am Informed by the secretary of atate that there has been a decided decrease in the formation of ordinary—not extraordinarycorporations and a marked increase in the number of dissolutions of the same kind of companies. Of course the revenue of the state has suffered and. In my Judgment, la bound to continue to increasingly suffer on this account, atyl Instead of our being able to rely on the Income we have received for the past ten years from miscetlaneons corporations I believe it will materially de-

crease in the near future.

The railroads, "however, are her*. The fortunate location of the state makes it an entrepot ton many trunk lines. They cannot and do not desire to move aw«y. They have been our reliance for state revenue for over half a century. The atate la now receiving a Uttie leas than |1,000.000 a year froi them for state purposes. It has kept pace with the time and been enabled to erect a system of schools and public Institution*, in my Judgment, second to none in this country. These cannot and should not he abandoned. I believe the good people of this stats would arisodn their might and qnell any proposition to dispense with any of them. There would he danger of a similar outburst if a state tax on the property of individuals should be suggested, and yet It take* no bookkeeper to see that, with the ordinary disbursements of the state Increasing, aa they did In IMS over the previous year nearly half a million dollars. and there being no hope of the continuance of any such extraordinary receipts as the Interest on civil war bonds, amounting to |480.000, or the
