The Young Republicans" OF Brook

IT is generally understood that without
a Republican majority in King, county,
New York, which comprises the great city
of Bruoklyn there is small chance for Il
Republican majorit, in the stat, Of New
York. II is also known that that city has
an organization Of Ind ,ppndcut Young
Republicans, with membership Of nearly
3ODj. and that without the Young Bupub-

Young Republican club. That cluo sup
ported Cleveland for Governor and Carried
King, county for him two years ago. The
club sent delegation Of 100 members to
Chicago To work for the nomination of
senator Edmund~. The position which
should be taken by that club in the Ma
tional contest has bccna matter Of no
little importance. The organization made
no haste in reaching its decision 1t APP
pointed a committee to investigate Mr..
Blaine i railroad transactions. which pre-
pared careful digest Of the evidence pro

every member 1t has given its members
ample time to make up their minds. on
Tuesday evening the club held its meet
ing to take action on the main question,
and after an extended debate. adopted by
an immense majority the following reso-
luton
That this club cordially approves the
nomination of james G. Blaine and John

The minority were so small in numbers
that they did not care to be counted. A
subscription Of $500, towards "A campaign
fund Of 5000, was raised on the spot. and
the meeting-a very large and crowded

would "hardly dare to come to New

enthusiastic reception, and received
pledges of the support Of the great and
powerful Union League club. and of
thousands of prominent and influential
citizens. The action of the Young Repub-
licanS of Bropklyu ensures the vote Of

thing indicates that he will have the cleo

Investigating the sparrow.

The most mooted question in respect to
the animal kingdom is beyond all doubt
that familiar and venerable one, "WhO
killed Cock Robin - but next in order of
discussion is that in respect to the English
sparrow. 80 candidate for public Office
has ever undergone n more vigorous and
searching Investigation into his character
and private life than this same sparrow
and on no subject have the opinions of
commentators exhibited more variauces.

scientific men have sat upon the little bird,
but their verdicts have not even approached
unauimity. and while some have applaud
ed him as a friend of humanity others
have sOlemniy notified us that he sub
serves the true interest of his being only
when his diminutive form appears upon
toast, at the dinner table
The great question Is To be answered
This very day grand inquest sits upon
the sparrow and his destiny will be set
tied. The inquest is composed of no less
august Il body than the American Orni-
biologists Union. the occasion is the sec
Ond annual congress of that organization,
and New York is the scene of the delibcra-
deliberations which will be watch
ed with interest by sparrows all over the
country. In February last committee
Ofthc Union issued 1000 blank forms which
had been carefully prepared so as to in
clude information of every possible kind
concerning the English sparrow. ut is
our aim, said the committee in Il circular
accompanying each blank, "tO determine
as nearly as possible the true status of the
European house sparrows, commonly
known as the English sparrow, in so far
as the relations of this bird to mankind
are concerned. The Union hopes to ar
rive at the facts necessary to settle the
question of the eligibility or ineligi
bility of the sparrow as IL natural
lied resident of this country" The
circulars were sent to gardeners and
hOrticulturists amOug others, and many
responses have been received. The return,
include reports from British North Amcri
ca. Among other points as tC
which information was sought are
whether the birds are increasing in mum
bcrs whether insects have increased il
numbers or appeared where unknown be
fore in consequence of the destruction Ui
other insects by SparrOws whether other
birds have been driven away, etc. The
