It is understootl that the ler- | viccs of Mr. Armstrong i» no i longor desirod by the A<lverii$er, 1 nnd that another editor will arrivo on the Monowai. Wo do not wisli the Tin-r any hanu nor do wo dosire to bonm it but we must say lliat any chango tnade enn only be for t!io better.

A NICE JOB. Mr. Samael G. \Vilder has caused the arre»t of Mr. W. Cuuningbam on a charge of carrying firearms without a licenso. Tue arrest is made at the instigation of a thing ealle»! thc Sportsmen’s Association, aud Mr. Wilder hns allowe»! himself to be used as a t»x>l for that assombled congvegation of couuter jumpers. Tl»e caso is going ou as we go to pres». an»l we »lo not propose to ex press ourselves raorits of it. But we must say tliat it is a surprise to seo a youug man hko Mr. S. G. Wil»ler appearing in tho role of an amuteur ”01d Sleutb,” and spemling his Sund«ysjin trying to catch poaehen an»l ort’euJers against tho game law. Mr. Wilder who we un»lerstan»l is worth about two hundred thousand dollars. d >es not go out on a Sunday as a sportsman, with frieu»ls au»i luneh baskets and girls. He sueaks out in tho eompany of his stable boy, a »iisreputable ehinaman. aml lies low in gulches and holes for the purpose of catcbing a fel!ow citizen in whoso company ho in forraer days has enjoye»l many a »lays sport aml many a davs good $bootiug. Mr. Wi!der may be rich an»l we havo no doabt tbat he is in many respects a gentleman. Ue sbould trv to become a truo sportsmau and not openly a»lmit on the witness stanJ in a petty Conrl ihai ke is simply an an emissary of mon whose spbere jis to doal “iu (>otatoes, devtlled ham, cigareUes and other oseful articles, bnt vbose presence in the " sportiug” vorld is absard. ,
