Custom, in some States law, and every
where the belief that they extirpate the
measuring worm. have given the sparrows
welcome and safeguard. Nobody Injuries
them or interferes with their nests DIR.
Coues, who is high authority, believes that
they kill no moro worms than other birds !;
that we might more safely depend upon
other insectiverous birds, and that, unless
speedy and effectual war is made upon the
sparrows, they will expel from our woods
and fields all the songsters which make the
country pleasant.
We believe DR.. Cones is right. We have
heard of instances. near New York, where
this English sparrow, being introduced and
fostered, presently took possession of the
marten boxes, and, after some years, all the
song birds disappeared. evidently driven
out by this restless and aggressive stranger.

The Trouble In the Mining Regions.
The people Of Wilkesbarre are paying the
penalty of having chosen an unfit man for
Mayor. The Mayor of Scranton promptly
met the mob, and all is now quiet there.
At Wilkesbarre the rioters were allowed to
gain Roadway, with the result of continued
violence. We are very sorry for the poor
men who have been misled into rioting and
violence; and sorrier yet for their families,
and for the workmen who have been driven
out Of the shops and from the mines and
trains BY the hob. 1t is all bad bust
ness; but what right has any body Of men to
prevent others from working? That is an
inexcusable wrong; direct and dangerous
attack on the rights OF the workingmen !;
and those who do so can expect no sympa-
thy from honest workingmen, or from the
sensible public We repeat what we have
so often had to say during these strikes
Every man has q right to stop work; but he
has no right to prevent any one else from
working and he has no right to attack the
property of others. If he gets into trouble
by doing 50 he has himself to blame The
only sensible course now is for everybody
who wants work to 60 to work ut once and
for those who do not want to work to stand
still and keep their hands off,

Sparrows.

Some years ago, when the trees in our
parks and streets were filled with measuring
worms and the sparrows were assiduously
cultivated to devour them, q lady fond of
sleeping late in the morning, and who had
been wakened untimely by the twittering of
the little birds, declared to friend that on
the whole she thought the sparrows as great
an annoyance rs the worms. "What do you
say ?" she asked young gentleman coming
to make morning call, (which would you
rather have sparrows or worms?" The in
genuous youth blushed, and hesitatingly
replied that he couldn't say; he had
never had the sparrows." We are re-
minded of this old story by seeing
that DIR. Elliott Coues, one of the ablest
American ornithologists, protests, in pub
lished letter. that we have too many spar
rows He points out, what is known to be
true by every observing farmer near New
York, that the sparrows are gradually driv-
ing away oil the song birds. They are very
pugnacious, and there is reason to believe
that they not only attack thrushes, martens
and other birds, but that they destroy the
eggs Of robins and other Of the large birds.

what Does This Mean,

Judge West who has just been nominated
for Governor by the Ohio republicans, is
said to be near sighted. We judge he is in
tellectually very nearly blind, for in his
speech accepting the nomination he said
about the currency question, mo contrac-
ton, no expansion, no depreciation, is my
motto" We suppose Judge West is man
of fortune-what they call in Ohio a
''bloated bondholder" --else he would not
talk such rubbish as this. He seems to be
very comfortably suited with the times and
wants the country to remain in just the
condition it is now in. mo contraction, no
expansion" he says; no change, that is to
say, from the present hard times and gen.
eral industrial prostitution, poverty and suf-
fering.
When a patient is very i'll, suffering
severely and continuously, we can imagine
two doctors coming in and each prescribing
different treatment and we could see that
though one might be right and the other
wrong each, at least, had some desire to
relieve the man. But if third doctor
should appear, and, after attentively regard
ing the sufferer, should say to his friends,
'sYou had better leave him alone; be very
careful to do nothing for him; he is doing
very we'll" it is probable chat the sick man
would want to order him out of the
house as first class quack. But that
is what this republican candidate
proposes. ''No contraction, no expan-
sion." Oh, no! Just let the country 90
on suffering. Has Mr.. West heard any
thing about the hard times? And can he not
see that his silly talk plays directly into the
hands of the infationists? They at least
recognize the most prominent facts of the day,
the general prostration and poverty they
offer what they call remedy We do not
believe in it at air; but we do not believe
that the country will meekly agree to remain
as it is to please Judge West. Somebody in
Ohio ought to explain to him that he who is
not for contraction and resumption is against
them and that such nonsense as he uttered
belongs Oh the other side. He ought to be
on the imitation democratic ticket

sible manner. The fighting in Prince
Schackoskoys front, SO brilliantly described
in our despatch, was magnificent, and
showed that the troops were of excellent
quality, well trained and, as to tactics, we'll
handled From this single exhibition we
may be satisfied that if the Russians do not
gain battles it is not the fault of their troops
nor the fault of field or line officers. 1t is
evident that the fault is nearer general head
quarters, where there is, perhaps, fatal
failure, so far. to discover the difference be-
tween genius and gold lace. Our CORE
spondent takes gloomy view of the pros
poets of the Danube campaign and OF the
position in which this battle has left the
army but. though the defeat is undoubt-
eddy damaging one, we do not believe 1T
is beyond the resources of the Russians to
retrieve their position. True, it is rumored
that the bashi-bazouks are already begin
ming to show themselves near Sistova, but
then it is surmised that those seen belonged
to some wandering detachment in search
of plumber. South of the Balkans
the situation looks grave The Russians
have decided to withdraw from Roumelia,
but intend to hold the passes if possible.
Whether this means general retreat to the
Danube depends on the ability of Mehemet
Ali to deal with the Russians at Tirnova
when they are reinforced by Gourkha's and
Mirski's troops from Roumelia.

The Brooklyn Bread and Butter
Brigade.

The Twenty-frst ward republican ma
chine in Brooklyn contains several men Of
hitherto unsupported genius. The asso-
citation met to receive the last dying speeches
and designations of eight federal office
holders, whereupon some one got up and
moved that the designations be not for the
present received. He did not believe the
President meant that the office-holders should
resign from the party machine, and in his
opinion ''the best thing that could
be done until further light could
be obtained on the Interpretation Of
the Presidents order was to lay the whole
matter on the table" Another member en-
tirely agreed with this speaker, and declared
for the doctrine that ito the victors belong
the spoils." He then explained to the asso-
citation how this whole fuss came about. and
the explanation is so clear and interesting
that we quote it here He believed that
Evarts and Curtis were ut The bottom of
this order. Curtis named Evarts for Gov
ernor, and they were beaten. To the Con-
vention being composed of office holders
they attributed their defeat, and now, in
retaliation, they seek to destroy the organi-
zation of the republican party"
Thus is this great mystery cleared up;
and, having shown how the President came
to make his order about office-holders, this
brilliant speaker added the comforting as
surance that, in his belief, 'the great Amer
lean people would insist on having this OBJ

Beginning to Shoot Disorders.

The Mississippi democrats have set an ex-
ample which we strongly advise all the con-
ventions of both parties to be held this sum-
mer and fall to copy. In the Jackson Con-
vention they adopted resolution-''That
unity and harmony are essential to victory;
that all independent movements are danger
Gus to the integrity of party organizations;
that all independent candidates are inspired
solely by lust for Office, and shall be treated
people and avowed enemies of the demo-
cratic party of the State of Mississippi"
There is hardly Southern State in which
the democrats ought not at once to adopt
such resolution. Not that it would do
much good, for their party will split to pieces
anyhow; it is going to pieces under their
feet. In fact if it were not dissolving, no.
body would think of adopting such a reso-
luton. 1t is not until desertion becomes
dangerous that they begin to shoot de-
serters
But we recommend this admirably worded
resolution also to both party conventions
when they shall meetin this State:--Resolved,
that harmony is essential to victory and that
anybody who will not obey the machine is
no better than scoundrel That has the adj
vantage at any rate Of labelling the men who
kick out Of the traces. In Mississippi, there
being fortunately no longer any republican
party, there will be on independent demo-
cratic candidate In Virginia the democrats
are splitting to pieces, now that Colonel
Mosby no longer keeps them together
with his patent machine. But in New
York both parties are going, or rather
have substantially gone, to pot. The
republicans, what with Conkling Fenton,
Curtis, Morgan, Custom House, reform, adj
ministration and INSTRUMENTATION men,
hardly speak to each other in the street any
more; and as to the democrats, the Tilden
and anti-Tilden, Tammany and anti-Tam-
many, short hair and swallow tail, city and
hayloft and cheesepress people will come
together by and by like Barnum's happy
family, very anxious to eat each other up,
and requiring good deal of restraint to
prevent an unhappy catastrophe.
Under these circumstances we urge both
conventions to copy the Mississippi resolu-
tons, and we advise the voters to vote pre-
cisely as they please, and for the best men,
regardless Of party. Both the old parties
are dead.
