Secretary Villas Brooklyn Speech.
The New York Star


The nature of the democracy that
was glorified in the Brooklyn celebra-
tian on Thursday was well explained
in the speech of Mr.. Villas, the Secre-
tary Of the Interior. He said;
81 am a democrat by descent and
life, and | can freely comment on the
fact that this is the natal day of the
nineteenth president of the United
estates. When in Tilden's person the
colossal wrong of usurpation was
"done to us, the sky seemed dark be
"yOnd recovery, but the mighty prin-
"ciples of democracy, nevertheless,
"rose again and stood triumphant, by
1.-the Inauguration of democratic
president, and one in whom Mr.. Til
"den saw embodiment and the champi-
"on of all great democratic principles.
THE platform of l876-Tilden's own
"platform-is the great formulation of
democratic principles, and no COM
"mand is more imperative on us than
"to be steadfast in carrying them out.
Democracy, as eXpounded by Tilden,
land carried out by Cleveland, Is the
democracy of the people, which knows
emo classes, which seeks the welfare of
1.-the toiling labOrer as well as the
wealthy capitalist. 1t strives to diff
"fuse through all humanity the bless
"ings of good government"
Mr. Villas speech was characterized
by that charm of eloquence and
breadth of thought for which he has
long been noted, and the significance
of his observations is increased by the
fact that, while the President and other
members of the cabinet were repres-
ented by letters, Mr.. Villas was the
only one of the department chiefs to
speak for the executive branch of the
national government face to face with
those at the Tilden banquet.
That important duty could not have
been committed to better hands: and
we are quite sure that the address of
the Secretary of the Interior on this
memorable occasion will be document
of great value in the struggle for the
perpetuation of the wise and just dem
ocratic methods which Tilden's election
foreshadowed and Cleveland's first adj
ministration has inaugurated.

mercial house, and the large patronage
he is receiving shows that this well

About the Jersey Fish Hawk.

Watching the fish hawks is a constant
source of delight TO the people at the New
jersey coast resorts From Sandy Hook
to Barnegat these birds are as familiar as
robins are to inland folk. They are OF
the eagle family, and though slightly
smaller than the national bald head, are
very much like him. Though birds OF
prey, they are far more tame than crows
in some respects, notably in the fact that
they build their nests7h the most con,
spicuous trees, often those which stand
alone in pasture land Whatever tree
they build IN Is certain to die The phos-
phorous or some other property in the
bits and bones of fish they drop kills the
roots of whatever tree they inhabit. The
birds are fond of the Shrewsbury, at Red
Bank, and there is seldom a moment
during daylight when they are not TO be
seen lowering over the river. They are
able TO see a fish in the water from q
considerable height, and. seeing it, they
close their wings and drop like bullet.
They strike the water with great splash
and disappear under it, but only to rise
In a second or two grasping fish in
their talons. Just now travellers along
the roads of Monmouth county can see
the heads of the ospey's babies over the
tops of the big nests in the dead trees.
The Jerseymen are superstitious about
killing them; indeed, no one ever hurts
a fish hawk.-New York Sun.
