EDITOR DISPATCH: The attention of
the City Council should be called tc the
fact that those birds that visit our harbor
during the Fall and Winter months are
being shot down by idle leafers. To-day
1 witnessed the slaughter of several Of
them. Now they are both useful and
ornamental around harbor, and are
protected in all civilized sea port towns.
I hope our City Council will put stop
to their destruction at an early day.

~ A correspondent, referring to the
Cabinet meeting, makes President Grant
say that he had read that so Cuban in
surgents, captured as prisoners of war,
had been shot on the field, and that
while tho report lacked confirmation, he
was prepared to heaI of its confirmation
after what had already occurred in Gu
ba. He was satisfied that the Spanish
Government did not and would not ap-
prove, such butchery. 1t was matter
which an enlightened nation could not
overlook. If, indeed, this method of
warfare was necessary to support the
Spanish Republic, as an individual he
could not wish such Government pros
perity. If the Spanish people IN their
effort to establish Republican form OF
Government could not control their au-
thorities in Cuba, then in the interests
of humanity he thought it time TO inter
fere, not to encourage struggling Cubans
nor to embarass the Spanish Republic
in any way. but wholly in the interest
Of civilization and humanity.

NEW WAY OF RADICAL RECKONING
Salary -Grabber Robinson, of the Twelfth
Illinois District, defends his back salary
steal on the ground that his district be-
ing composed of six counties, his salary
apportioned among them would only be
81 $50 each, or less than the officers of
these several counties for their services.
Applying the same theory, says the Chi
cago Times, to the otker Federal salary
grabbers. and it would appear that the
President at $4,000 year and nearly
all expenses paid besides, is much less
than half-paid ofice-holder. Are not
the services of President of Repub-
lie of thirty seven States as valuable as
those of thirty -se1 en- Governors Prob
ably the average salary Of the Governors
is So, 600 year, which would make the
salary which Mr.. Grant might fairly
claim S111.O00 o year. according to the
Robinsonian way of reckoning. There
is reasonable ground for supposing that
Mr.. Grant believes in the Robinsonian
way of reckoning and that at last the
two conspicuous salary>grabbers have
got together, with Matt Carpenter and
Ben Butler or the same platform. 80

SPECULATION Don PAY.--The n. Y.
Journal of Commerce, commenting on
the financial crash, says: 6 The truth is
made manifest by the most startling il
lustrations, that spectators are not to
be trusted, and that speculation does
not pay. Nothing pays but business
conducted on the settled rules of e1per-
ience, with integrity and industry AS
the wal ch words of action. All else is
cheat and mockery. A man has more
chance of making money by buying lot
terry tickets or playing faro than at the
game of speculation in the street. If
the distressing events of the past week
have shaken the nonsense out of the
heads of the rising generation, and
taught them lesson of sobriety and
n moderation in business, they will have
done good far outwsighing the resulting
| calamities.

VIyAcIoUs CRITICISM. following
is specimen of independent criticism
taken from The Peoria ReUieU. 1t de-
serves to be called vivacious criticism
Mile Liebhart didn't leave dry eye
in the wigwam when she sang, There
sno plash Ii kome," and it was the gen
ersl impression among her German and
itors that she sang Rawbing Awdah, -
" Rawbing Awdah,' in English, while
the English speaking inhabitants were
equally positive that Robin Adalr -
was German ballad. Mile. Ormeny
had, and we suppose still retains,a mag
nifcent voice for fog-whistle. Its com,
pass was perfectly surprising, She
would shake the chandelier with wild
whoop that made every man instructive
ly feel for his scalp, and followed it up
with roar that would shame bassoon.
