THE VOTE ON THE AMENpMENr.

The joint resolution to submit to vote
OF the people constitutional amendment
prohibiting the manufacture or sale of
intoxicating liquors finally passed the
House Tuesday. Only Is of the 204 mem
bers were absent on roll call. all the others
putting themselves on record on one side or
the other. The resolution now goes to the
Senate for concurrence, and the vote taken
In the House may be regarded as significant
OF what that of the Senate will be.
After caucusing on the amendment the
Democrats Of the House resolved to take no
action TO bind the vote of the members.
They certainly displayed good sense in
rejecting Representative Rtter's PROPOSE
tion that they should sit quietly in their
seats and not vote at all while the roll was
being called. What they did when the
question came up in the House on the
final passage of the joint resolution sub
mitting the amendment was TO vote almost
in body against it-46 Of the go Democrats
being so recorded, while were absent and
ovoted with the Republicans in favor of
submission. Those Democrats voting for
submission were Weber and Farrell, of
Clearfeld; skinner, of Fulton; Wherry, of
Cumberland; Wood, OF Lycoming, and Holt,
of Centre.
OF the l44 Republican members Of the
House 1925 voted for the amendment, 8
voted against II and 10 were absent. OF
the 9 opposition votes were from Allie
gheny, as follows: Chalfant, Lafferty, LIE
mon, Richards, Robson, Shiras, Weaver
and White, the other opposition Republi-
can being Fliekinger, of Erie. The Is alb
sentees included 10 Republicans and s Dem.
Gratis. The result is such as to show
pretty straight party division on the ques-
tlon, the opposition of the eight Allegheny
Republicans having more personal slguifi-
canoe than anything else
When the question was before the SEN
ate At the last session the Democrats gem
orally refused 10 be recorded either way.
The House Democrats have this time set
them an example for courage, at least, and
they will gain nothing by again refusing to
face the music. Those who do not record
themselves in favor Of allowing the people
70 vote on this question Will be put down

BY A VOTE OF THIRTY TWO TO THIRTY
the Republican tariff bill, after nine hours
continuous discussion, passed the Senate or
Tuesday. The measure differs essentially
from the tariff bill proposed by the Demo
Gratis, but on the whole it is perhaps, as fail
document of the kind as Republican
Senate would be likely to pass. What the
common people of this country want is pro
lection from the despotlsm of monopoly ol
cooperative greed, if the Senate tariff bill
was framed for and will effect this end the
people and the party can feel justly proud
of the labors of their Senators. If not
well, it wont be the first time the peopl,
haYe been hoodwinked.

The Sun for 1889,
AND FOR THE DEMocRAoY.

TEE SUN believes that the campaign Tor the
election of a Democratic Congress IN 1890 and a
Democratic President In 1892 Should begin on or
about the fourth OF next March. The SUN Will
be on hand at the beginning ana until the end Of
the most interesting and important political con
tilct since the war, doing Its honest utmost as
ever, 10 secure the triumph of the Democratic
party and the permanent supremacy of the prin-
clip .es held by Jefferson, jackson and Tilden
The great fact OF the year Is the return to absO-
Lutte power OF the common enemy OF all good
Democrats-the political organization for whose
overthrow THE SUN fought at the front for rs
years, the memorable years OF Grant and the
Fraud Hayes, and Garfield and Arthur.
II Is the same old enemy that Democrats now
confront and he will be intrenched In the same
strong position. II has been carried oner by
brave aud hopeful fighting. DO you not believe
with THE SUN that the thing can be done again? T?
Wait and seel
The hope OF the Democracy is In the loyal ef-
fort OF united press, eherishing no memories
OF past differences in nOn-esSentials, forgetting
everything but the lessons OF experience and
that victory is duty.

The Farmerr Birds.
Tribune and Farmer.


The farmer and fruit-grower who has
cultivated habits of observation, says a
western entomOlogist, will soon come
20 know those birds of most value as
insect destroyers. Wrens devour great
numbers Of cutworns. The crow black
bird picks up any Larvae it may find in
the burrows. 80 would crows if al
lowed. They will neither of them pull
corn II some of the soaked grain is
strewed over the planted field. The
robin is pest among small fruit, when
ripening, but at all other seasons a
friend to the fruit growers, and at all
times beneficial to the farmer and gar
denor.
Of fruit-eaters, robins thrushes, cat
birds, bluejays, cherry birds, orioles
and others of that class are well known.
They never in ure the grain farmer, and
the hOrticulturist only during the fruit
season.
Barn owls are inveterate mousers,
and IN summer time feed on nightly
ing moths and beetles. They are valua-
bic in destroying mature insects, thus
preventing the laying of their eggs.
The hawks eat mice, frogs, grasshoppers,
snakes, Ii ards beetles, small birds and
various vermin, according to their spe
cies. The crow is an OmnivOrOus eater,
but eats less corn than any other food.
The proportion of hawks that kill chick
ems are not more in number, relatively,
than Of man-eating tigers.
The food of blackbirds consists of cut
worms, Wire-wOrms and the Larvae OF
destructive butter les
The climbers include wOodpecEers
and cuckoos Nearly al are exclusive
insect-eaters The sapsucker alone is
destructive to trees. The yellow billed
cuckoo common in the nOrthwest-is
especially destructive 10 the American
tent caterpillar.
Wrens and bluebirds are exclusive in
Sc eaters, the bluebir S taking canker
worms and coddling moths. The white
breasted nuthatch and American
creeper live clusively on tree insects.
The finch, lark and plOver tribes eat in
sect larv t. The meadow lark seeks I'M
derground larvp.
The plover eats grasshOppers, beetles,
gnats, etc. All the warbers destroy a
great variety of small insects The
land game birds, although classed as
gramnivorous, eat more largely of in
sects than other food.
Birds of doubtful utillty-so classed
to the horticulturist, but not injurious
to the farmer, except the bluejay-
which destroys the nests OF small birds
of great Gtility-are: Robin, catbird,
brown thrush, red headed woodpecker
shrike, or butcher bird, and the blue
jay. There are really but two, the
blue ay and the OriOle-if we except
the hawk and larger owls -of this class
that are injurious TO the farmer A
decent man will not kill singing birds,
and game birds only in their season
Let the boys of the farm be instructed
