Speaking of the Irish policy the Catholic
Sentinel observes: 1.-THE best policy for
the Irish party to pursue for the time
being is to let the Tory Government Jog
along as it lists, without forcing a meeting
of Parliament. Lord Harrington already
chafes under Churchill's leadership. The
Chaplin cause may widen, and lead to fur
ther and more serious divisions. In the
meantime let resistance to evictions be
firm, and the dissemination of home rule
ideas and the doctrines OF land reform be
vigorously carried on among the landless
masses of Scotland and Wales, who have
nothing in common with the Tory aristoc.
racy. The labor will not be lost. Every
speech or public meeting outside of Parlia.
ment will make the work OF Irish National
lists shorter when the next session is called.
In other words, let the battle be carried ON
fora time outside of Westminster, and very
soon the landlord element of Great Britain
will be glad to have the Irish Nationalist
safely back in Parliament where they can
make terms with them"

WORKING WOMEN.

The condition of working women in New
York city was made the subject OF a SER
mon recently by one OF New York's o
popular ministers. He said there are
$4,000 women in the city working in
shops and tending in stores whose earnings
have to be depended upon for their own
support and the support of children or
helpless relatives; that 10000 OF THESE
women are generally destitute, n tna1
through restitution they fall into evllilvee.
As to this col of poverty there ls
some dispute among authorities; but as 70
the incapacity OF a large number OF work
ing women to obtain occupation at fairly
remuneratiye pay there is no doubt what
ever. Wages are at a very low point IN

GIRLS, BIRDS, BONNETs.
Feminine Warfare on the Slaughter of
SOngsters.

Feminine Warfare on the Slaughter of
Songsters.
Nothing hal has occurred in the expe-
rience of the young ladies h attend the
Packer Institute, OF Brooklyn, has occa-
stoned so much feeling as the present en-
deavor OF the Audubon Society OF America
to gain them all as opponents OF the fash
ion of adjoining their head gear with the
plumage of birds. It has arrayed the
pretty girls into two factions, and fears
are entertained that the warm friendships
of years between some of the scholars may
be dissolved in consequence.
The Rev. DR.. Talmage recently preached
a sermon denouncing the wholesale slaugh-
ter OF the forest warblers in order to be-
deck the bonnets OF thefairsex. Heshowed
how many thousands OF birds OF brilliant
plumage were killed annually, and
called upon all enemies to the cruel
business to cease to wear the bodies
of the pretty songsters, and thus dis
courage the fashion.
This sermon is supposed to have given
inspiration to the Anti-Bird Killing Soci-
etv. 1t was resolved to stir up an agita-
ton in the City of Churches, and the
! Packer Institute was selected as the most
fruitful ground in which to plant the seed
inasmuch as the girls there taught are
from families where fashion holds sway.
The society first captured Professor Ste
vens, who is at the head of the depart
meme of physics and mathematics. Thu
Professor is a handsome man himself, and
has a due appreciation Of feminine beauty
but as he says, there are an abundance Of
other rays in which the ladies can adorn
| their persons, and he is opposed to the
slaughter If the songsters, he is perfectly
willing to help suppress the prevailing
fashion.
1T was high time that we made a move
here.in Brooklyn" said the Professor yes
terday. "It's perfectly awful the extent tt
which the bird killing business has grown
within the past year, and al! on account o

TIMBER LANDS.

During the last campaign in this Terri.
tory the Republican press and orators
made or attempted to make Commissioner
Sharks an issue. Not a man upon all the
tickets in the Territory was SO roundly
and causslessly abused as Mr.. Sparks and
probably no man in the country cared as
little about it as he did. But notwith-
standing all the hard things said about him
and the abuse heaped on his head, the In
terror Department has never had a man in
it actuated by purer motives than Andrew
J. Sparks. lie may at times be mistaken
or be imposed upon by unreliable agents,
but that Mr.. Sparks is honest and proposes
TO discharge the duties of his office to the
best of his ability and with an eye to the
public good no fair-minded man will deny.
In his last report Mr.. Sparks recon-
mends the immediate withdrawal from sale
or other disposal OF all public timber lands
subject to future legislation for the perma-
| uent reservation OF designated areas, and
the adoption OF more economical methods
for the disposal of such tracts as it may
not be necessary to reserve indefinitely.
He finds such measures necessary to pre-
vent the wholesale destruction OF forests
now in progress. In many cases large
tracts covered with forests are worthless
for any other purpose, the timber being
chiefly confined to the mountains. Dunn
mics, acting in the interest of numbering
corporations, enter the lands. As soon as
The timber is cleared off, the lands are
abandoned and offered for sale for taxes
without purchasers. This is more particu-
larly the case in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The system which permits this denuda-
ton, says the San Francisco Bulletin,
should be replaced by one which will pre-
serve these forests, 90 essential to the well
fare Of the valleys. Timber upon lands
useless for other purposes should be so
thinned out as to retain the reproductive
capability of the forests, and their protect
i've power upon springs and streams, while
permitting their gradual conversion to in
dustrial uses.
Great difficulty Is experienced in enforc-
ing the law against the companies which
avail themselves OF all the means known
to such combinations, to evade the regula-
tons OF the Government. Through indi-
rect Influences and organized methods they
are often able to secure the cooperation OF
The press, and OF well-mesning citizens, on
~specious pleas OF the advancement OF the
general welfare, behind which lie schemes
Of private profit at public expense.
The recommendation for the withdrawal
fthese lands from entry is good as lar as
't goes, but will have to be accompanied by
more elective measures for checking illegal
depreciation to accomplish the end in view.
The agents employed by the Government
in protecting the timber on public lands
have reported 1919 cases OF spoliation
during the past year, involving a value OF
S9,339,679, which shows the magnitude OF
the evil, and the necessity for more strin-
gent action against the perpetrators.
