ILLINOIS has placed a price on
the head Of the disreputable little
sparrow and if the treasury holds
out this pest will likely be slaush-
tered in immense numbers in that
State. A recent writer has said
that the manners and customs OF
the ''passer domesticus," or Eng
lish house sparrow, are like those
of the FIJI islanders-namely,
"manners none, customs disgust
ing" These predatory birds have
driven other members of the feath-
cred tribe into rural quarters. The
sparrow despises the country and
lives wholly in the cities. His
taste for civilization and his extra
ordinary fecundity are no longer
appreciated since it has been
demonstrated that his habits are
irretrievably bad. He will not
sing and seems to divide his time
between pugilism and obnoxious
revels as an amateur scavenger.
The sparrow must go, but we
doubt whether the bluff of the
Legislature will make much i'm.
preston on this un welcome army
of foreign invaders. 1t will be
great fun for the small boy and a
peck of trouble for the city clerks
who are to pay the bounty and
keep an inventory of the slaughter.
1t will be something gained, how.
ever, to know that the English
sparrow will hereafter be under
legal as we'll as social ostracism.

lie E. Kelley in relation to the two
suits of one Henry Monroe vs.. the
Leslie Kelley Co., for the failure
to cure said Monroe of drunkenness
and for damage to his health for
taking the gold-cure treatment,
says Mr.. Monroe was here under
treatment from May to June %
and was cured of the drinking
habit. This Monroe admitted. He
afterward went to drinking, ex-
cusing the fact with the statement
that during sickness the physician
prescribed liquor for him, and the
habit bacome again fixed on him.
He left Dwight, so far as the doctor
knows, for no other reason than
that he had become so dissipated
that he could find nc employment.
If the matter ever should come to
trial he is prepared to defend him

The Morality of the Theater.

Without going into the vexed
question as 10 the moral tenden-
cies of the theater, there is a good
deal of unwarranted lamentation
over the subserviency of the stage
to the box Office, that can be con-
sidered. 1t never seems to enter
the heads of those who deprecate
the present standards Of amuse.
ments, that they are presented for
the purpose of making money.
The men who put their thousands
into these enterprises are lot doing
SO for their health, for pleasure
Or through the promptings
of philanthropic motives. There
are certain concessions that they
must make to morals and propri-
ETY., but with this done, they offer
the productions that net them the
best returns. Nearly every reader,
consulting his own taste, thinks
that he could suggest the material
needed for successful newspaper.
He forgets that there are thousands
of others to be pleased, and that
very large proportion of them
might take no pleasure in his
selections.
So it is with the class of COM
plalnants who are indignant that
the theater box o flee is not made
a minor consideration. Patrons Of
the stage get just what the people
are willing to pay most for. Man
ayers do not fix the standard OF ex.
cellence, but seek to crafty the
tastes OF those to whom they cater.
The gradual elevation of the the.
atrieal standard is to be gained by
the education of the play-goers.
The box Office has and always will
measure the popularity of the
amusement offered.

THAT National Unlon conference
now in session at Cincinnati, has some
very homogeneous elements in its
make up and it is not at all certain
that the meeting will continue har-
monious to the end. Minnesota has
crow of its own to pick in the con-
ference and the feathers will likely fly
over the whole assembly. Kansas
has three hundred delegates repre-
senting every shade and variety of Or
ganization, and the Farmers alliance
of that state, instead of acting with
the other Kansas delegates, secured
possession of the hall and issuing the
password of their secret meetings,
went into executive session with their
fraters on the outside. There will be
no effort made to decide the question
of third ticket, in the Judgment of
those best informed, but matters will
be so shaped that the ticket can be
arranged for at short notice. The up
shot of the meeting cannot be fore
seen by it's astutest leaders and no
one else will hazard a guess.

THE Ohio democracy are getting
shaky about aaCampbells chances
either for nomination or election. If
he is nominated he would move
heaven and earth to secure the cleo
ton as it would undoubtedly give
him the second place in the national
democratic ticket in 1892. Campbell,
however, as a republican renegade
has reached the end of his rope and
having exhausted his capital polite
ally, there is no more in store for him.
Defeat will come and that will end
Campbell.

EvERYTHINGis not serene in North
Texas. Thecountry lying north of the
thirty-frst parallel has been visited
with devasting wind and hail Storms
in which standing grain, corn and
cotton and fruit have been very Sc
riously injured. Corn and cotton will
need replanting in many sections.
The hail stones at San Angelo went
through tin roofs and in other sec.
tions they were as large as billiard
balls, when seen with the spectacles
of an excited imagination. South
Texas is in it as never before. Gentle,
genial, general rains, no storms, vege.
tation as luxurious as ever known

THE.St. Louis Globe Democrat ut
ters a large sized truth, not always

1.-THE London Times is doubtful as
to whether England, in the next
month or two, will be able to get
Sl5, 900, 900 in gold from the United
States to replace the same amount
which Russia is expected to take
from England in that time. In this,
as In every other emergency demand
ing large sums of money the United
States is looked to to put up' for the
rest of the world.n
Europe has been depositing gold
for Russia, and now when the Gar
wants to corner Turkey and make a
descent on the Bosphorus, the gold is
demanded and Germany, France and
England squeezed. The Gar is flush,
the others are tight and his little
game is easier played.

The Waco Day, unblinded by the
preiudices which affect so many

"The contest in Ohio for the demo-

ing furious. The leading candidates
are Governor Campbell, the present
incumbent, and Larry I. Neal, repre-
senting the practical politicians.
Campbell has the prestige and power
of office; Neal il hustler and an or
ganizer. Mckinley will be the re-
publican nominee and will probably
beat either one the democrats may
choose to pit against him"
In this as in other matters the Day

situation very accurately.

cent, and this alone demonstrates the
feeling of security in financial circles.
