PREDICTED.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The revenues
Of the government from all sources for
the first half of the current fiscal wear
have been about $4,000, 900 in excess Of
the revenues for the corresponding
period of the last fiscal year. There has
been an Increase of about $1,000. 900 in
the customs and a falling off of nearly
=, 000, 800 in the internal revenue. Some
OF the treasury officials are inclined to
the belief that the aggregate receipts dur
ing the last half of the current fiscal
year viii fall considerably below the re-
ceipts of the last half of the last fiscal
year.

We are panied to hear of the death of
Hon. Francis S. Lyon Of Demopolis, Ala.
He had reached the ripe age of eighty
years, having been born inStokes county,
North Carolina, in the year 1900. He
had filled many positions of honor and
trust--member of the Federal Con-
federate Congresses Chancellor, ETC.,
and in all Of which positions he
had been distinguished for his ability
and stern integrity. He has descended
to the grave universally honored and
lamented.
IT would seem the Republican leaders
in Congress do not like the wholesome
bitter of Col. Manning's very timely
resolutions and have tried to suppress
them by reference to committees. They
will come up again nevertheless.

War Against the English Spar
row in Washington.

1t is probable that those squawk-
ing, filthy pests, the English spar
rows, will have to 20, so far as Wash

Ornithologist, Prof. Elliot Coues, who
is convinced that these little birds
are Il nuisance, has undertaken ia
show him how the work of extermi-
nation can he successfully carried on.
He advises, first, that Il part of the
game law that forbids the killing OF
any sparrow, under penalty of -,
shall DE repealed second, that the
killing of sparrows within the city
limits, except by the use of firearms.
shall be permitted; third, that a
bounty of two cents head shall be
offered for dead sparrows fourth.
that sparrows' heads shall be receiva-
BILE for taxes at the same rate, and,
fifth, that it shall be the duty of those
who care for the public streets and
parks to destroy sparrows' nests,
young sparrows and sparrows, eggs.
The sparrow is, in the professors
opinion, a nuisance that should lie
abated, and he says that he does not
know of "a single ornitholOgist, en-
tomologist or botanist whose knowl-
edge of the case entities his opinion
to consideration who does not take
substantially the same view"

growth, to be mown before maturing

tion was on account of poor seed, as
we were obliged to plant i'll by hand
some six acres, and this, of course, les
sened the tonnage. Again, some seven
acres were sowed upon land that raised
a crop of Hungarian previously to the
rye crop, which appeared among the
corn to the extent that we were obliged
to weed among the rows by hand, and
this was large added expense, as was
also the extra expense of harvesting
on account of heavy hail and wind
storm. All these things combined fig
ure the cost of production for the last
season at least One-third more than we
hoped to have it another year and
having sowed our rye thicker than last
year we expect great tonnage, and,
with a season not so dry as the last
for the corn crop, we hope to reduce
the cost One-half.
