A BIRD Battle.

Persons visiting Casco Island, Me-,
last week, heard sound like that which
an old.fashioned wind mill might send
forth in gale. They went to the south
side of the island, where they witnessed
the astonishing sight of pitched battle
between sea gull and crow. The gray
bird won, "knocking the crow out 90
badly" that he was easily captured by
one OF the visitors.

For they were happy and free and gay.

A gunner was passing q wood one day,
When tho birds were warbling rounde-
lay,
Now, rs those birds their Maker praised,
The cruel gun was lightly raised;
The smoke was dense, the birds were
crazed.
Some were crippled and some we're dead
And blood was dripping crimson red,
Shot through the brcast and heart and
head.
From the flicker, with ring of gold,
That now was lying dead ana cold,
wing was cut by the hunter bold. (?)
The wing was worn on stylish hat,
Which was worn by maiden sauciiy
But must not stop to tell you that.
The winter was past, and gentle spring
Had not forgotten tile fiicker's wing
And the birds that could not help but
sing.
Now. where the blood fell on the sod,
Upon the soft ground and the clod,
Sprang up the beautiful Golden Rod.
Look all about you, sec the sign,
Beautiful flowers. delicate and fine,
Sweet to the eye as to the tuste is vino.
But alasl the birds sing never more
In front of the cottage farmhouse door
They sing not now US they did before.
ohi Golden Rod, kissed by the sun,
Emblem OF whore this deed was done,
Why did he kill the birds for fun2

Wherever we Gods creatures find,
And to our duty not be blind.

TO AMEND THE ROAD LAW.

The attention of all interested in the
county improvement question, and espe-
oially of our Legislators now in session, is
direo ted to the communication published
in this issue from the pen of skilled
engineer, Mr.. j. +. Pope. He has had
six teen years. experience in India, in road
building On the question of how best to
construct the most durable road and at
the least expense his is the very highest
authority His first letter, published in
The STATESMAN of the 4th instant, gives
his plan of road improvement-he states
the manner of drainage, width of road
and depth of gravel or broken rock layers,
and places the average cost per
mile of such roads at $2,100. This
his second :, letter is discussion
of how a best to raise the funds
necessary for such road building. He
handles his subject with a most trenchant
pen, andh his deductions strike us as
logical sndT foroible There is no gain
saying the difficulties that surround any
piecemeal improvement of the roads. As
pointed out in the communication, subject
as such spasmodic efforts are to the
changing plans of different county
commissioners, no set purpose can be
maintained, and the best results cannot be
expected. And, the real source of trouble
in the matter of issuance of bonds is
clearly brought out in the statement that
the opponents of the proposition base
their objection to the plan on their dis
trust of the efficiency of the county commits
sionersland those who, under the law, will
be entrusted with the expenditure of such
large sums of money. Could not the law
be amended to meet the objections of
these men whose opinions are entitled to
the utmost. respect? If the state had
special official, thoroughly skilled in such
road work, whose services should be at the
disposal of any and all counties desiring
them, and whose salary should come from
such county while he is serving il, and
and whose duty it should be to give such

A PLUTOCRACY.

In few weeks this governm ent-at
least the legislative and executive
branches-will be completely under the
control of one of the most formidable
ionaires, the capitalists and the manufac-
turers of the north and east, who can af-
ford to spend millions buying votes
which they did at the late election-who
can do the same with the purchesable
part of congress, for that matter-are
now virtually the sovereign ruling power
of the country. The incoming congress
will be as obedient to the slightest behest
of this money power as the tabled Genie,
the slave of Aladdin's lamp, responding
to the touch of its owner. If the plutocrats
can buy up the votes of the people
which they did by the thousand
last November-why cannot they enter
the committee rooms and the halls of
congress with their gold? If so, what is
it they cannot dor Where is the limit to
a power that, acting heretofore through
the republican party, has respected neither
the constitution, the rights of the states
nor the people? When the Dakotas and
half dozen more republican states are
carved out of the territories, when the plu-
tocracy is not only in possession of the
presidency and both houses of congress,
but three-fourths of the whole number of
states, what prevents it from changing the
form of government itself by constitu-
tional aueE1ment to suit its own pur-
poses?
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-01-31

county his advice as to the best method of
constructing roads and settle disputes be-
tween the county commissioners touching
such construction, could not the conf
dence Of the people be gained for such
extensive work! This question is of vital
importance to very many of our counties,
aud, while bills regulating it are pending
in the Legislature, the attention of its
members is respectfully called to Mr..
Pope's communication, and the thoughts
arising from its perusal. They cannot
spend too much care, time and thought in
perfecting our road laws and giving the
state a system of such laws, under which
the counties can intelligently and safely
work to practical and the best results.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-01-31
Wants a Committee.

To the Editor of the Statesman.
Why not have committee of the rail-
road representatives and joint commit
tee of both houses of the legislature meet
and fairly discuss their differences, and in
spirit of compromise frame law that
will be just and equitable to the roads
and the people? There should be no
antagonism between the roads and their
patrons. There is neutral dependence
existing between them.
If the roads are willing to furnish, with
reasonable dispatch, transportation for
freight and passengers at fair rate of
compensation, this should be satisfactory
this far-no discrimination against any
locality or person, work for every shipper
at the same price for the same quantity
The people, we believe, would be satisfied
with this, and we think the roads will
agree to it.
Second-Will the roads agree that
freight offered shall be moved and
delivered at point of destination with
reasonable dispatch in like good order as
when received, and failing in this, that all
damages and overckarges shall be ad-
lusted promptly at point Of delivery, and
that ell freights due the road must be
paid equally as prompt? Then let the
people, by their representatives, agree
that state or county officer who accepts of
any free transportation over any railroad
shall forfeit his Office, and relieve the
roads OF this burden that might go to a
reduction of freights, etc.
With the multiplicity of bills now be-
TOr6 the lp01ala of
ficting-and if passed, would work the
ruin of both the roads and shippers-the
result will be the roads will be antgpopized
and the people not be relieved.
The railroads now insist that there are
no grievances to complain of; that thew
are doing their whole duty. If so little
wholesome legislation can do no harm.
This joint conference can result in no
evil and each side can learn what the
the other wants. O1D Foov 0
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-01-31

In an argument upon the power and in
Auence of railroad corporations upon the
destinios of this country, the great consti-
tutional lawyer of Pennsylvania, Judge
Jere +. Black, says: ave are often told
that in the struggle for honest govern
ment against the power OF the railroad
corporation, the just cause has no chance
OF success. We do seem to be out on a
forlorn hope. The little finger of monop-
oily is greater than the loins of the law.
They have destroyed the business of hun
dreds for one that they have favored. For
every millionaire they have created they
have made ten thousand paupers."
