The South and the Negro.
50. Louis Globe. Democrat.

The cry of apprehended negro domination
is only pretext and sham. In sober
truth, the ruling fear is that of republican
progress and success. If the colored voters
would all support the democratic ticket the
pretended peril would at once disappear, and
we should hear not a word about their al
legged extraordinary ignorance and indigence.
1t is against republicans that this Infamous
policy of ballot stealing is directed rather
than against the blacks, simply because they
are blacks. White men as we'll as colored
have been bulldozed and murdered on ac-
count of their republican sentiments. The
line of discrimination in that respect is not
one of complexion but of political opinion.

THE English sparrow must go. That
is the edict of the United States depart
ment OF agriculture. He must be ex-
terminated root and branch, body and
soul. The indictment against him is
voluminous. No lawyers brief can be
more exhaustive in detail, more con-
vincing by weight Of evidence, or moro
thorough in logical deduction and ar
gument than the work OF four hundred
and five pages prepared by the division
OF economic ornithology under the dl-
rection OF She secretary Of agriculture.
The English sparrow, or to- be more
exact, Passer Domesticus, is accused of
being the enemy to the farmer, to the
American song birds, and to man in
general. An alien by nativity, he was
brought to this country forty years ago
by some we'll meaning though deluded
bird lovers. Since that time the spar
row has increased his numbers so that
his progeny is as thick as mosquitoes
and his tribe extends from the Atlantic
to the Missouri river and from Maine to
Florida. But now he is nuisance, and
the crimes and misdemeanors laid at
his feet make him a monster of such
dreadful proportions that every mans
hand should be raised against him. He
is common, he is unclean, he is more
prolific than an oriental sultan. He is
saucy, he fights, he is a glutton and his
habits are demoralizing to the bird
kingdom. Alien that he is,
he has never adopted Amer
lean ways of living. He has
never become naturalized and
never will. He is an anarchist and
makes war upon the well-behaved
American song birds. He does not help
the farmer in ridding tho fields of bugs
and insects, but destroys his wheat and
loots his orchards. He tolls not neither
does he spin, yet winter and summer he
grows sleeker and sleeker and bolder
and bolder in his depredations. Long
suffering America can stand this no
longer. Uncle Jerry Rusl1 has sounded
the alarm. The war of determination
must begin

Death IN a Peculiar Manner.

LARAMIE, Wyo., July 7-ISpecial Tele-
gram TO The BEE. "A peculiar accident at a
ranch twenty miles from this city resulted
in the death of Mart Edison to-day. He was
hauling fence posts and halted with large
load near barbed wire fence. The team
started, and in grasping the reins he did so
in such way as TO draw the horses into the
fence. AT the same time wheel struck hun
knocking him against the fence and under
the horses feet The wagon wheels passed
over his abdomen, pressing knife blade
cutting a cash which exposed the intestincs.

THE New York Sun finds fault with
the recently published historical
sketch of Iowa, by Justice Miller of
the supreme court, because there was
omitted from it any reference ito the
intense radicalism which rules the peo-
pie, and especially to that spirit of con-
tiscation and of plunder, we might al
most say of rascality and robbery, if
the motive were not so highly moral,
which they have displayed toward the
unfortunate owners of railroad prop
orty who live elsewhere" The Sun
does not need to be reminded that JUS
tice Miller could not properly discuss
the railroad legislation of Iowa IN
magazine article. His position as a
member of the supreme tribunal of the
country, which may at any time be
called upon to consider this legislation,
precluded him from referring to it, nor
was it necessary to do so in narrative
OF the material, political and social con-
dition and progress of Iowa. But had
Justice Miller referred to the subject
which he omitted from his interesting
paper we venture to think he would
have said nothing to justify the SIMS
opinion of the spirit of the people of
Iowa in the efforts they have made
to protect themselves against the ex-
actions and abuses of "the unfortu-
nate owners of railroad prop
erty who live elsewhere. If the Sun
is as we'll informed as it should be re-
garding the history of railroad methods
and practices in the west, its character
ization of the policy of the people of
Iowa is only to be explained as the re-
suit of prejudice natural to it's envir-
onment. In either case, it is wholly

Everyone who has ever had tho pleasure Of
meeting Mrs. Francis Hodgson Burnett in
her own family circle, surrounded by her
sweet little children, has been charmed by
the pretty habit the children have of calling
their mother--not "mamma"-but dearest"
always You Will remember that Little
Lord Fauntleroy in Mrs. Burnetts most sue
cessful play, always called his mother "dear-
est and Little Lord Fauntleroy, you will
also remember, is patterned altogether after
Mrs. Hodgson l3urnett's little boy, Vivian.
But they tell an interesting story about
this very same habit OF calling the mother
dearest" A Boston lady, who is stopping
here just now, says several years ago she oc-
cupied rooms in hotel In Boston adjoining
those taken by Mrs. Burnett and her family.
She had seArcelytalen possession OF her apart
ments wien she heard scampering of small
feet through the narrow partition wall and
then she heard a little girls voice calling
"Mamma mamma" whereupon she heard a
series OF slaps and several small SOU eals, and
finally woman's angry voice saying; "Ii0w
often shall / have to tell you 10 call me
dearest and not mamma. )"

spanked into calling his mother dear est"
