For the common house sparrow, as distin-
guished from the sO-eaIied hedge sparrow and
the tree sparrow. nothing can be argued IN Its
favor. Destroy them utterly IS my advice, ana
l have reason TO think that Minis Ormerod has
come 10 the same conclusion. Experience has
shown that their ill-advsed importation into
Australia and North America has wrought IN
calculable harm TO vegetation. The bird Is
grain and vegetable feeder for at least three
fOurths Of the year seeking insects only when
leaf-buds and cereals are not available for food.
Sparrow clubs should bo encouraged IN every
village, in order 10 check the undue increase
of the species, which, by the by, breeds at least
three times IN the year. In connection with
these sparrow clubs. il is somewhat curious 10
note that the authorities in some English coun-
try parishes have from time immemoriai PAID
the village lads at the rate Of four penny for
killing these birds, and have, moreover, pur-
chased eggs. And some kind of sparrow seems
TO have been considered destructive IN syria

Lobby Erls aud Their Remedies.


Special legislation has attained with rs a FAR
wider range than IL ever bad ia England, and
our problem in regulating IL Is much more
difficult IN consequence. Our lobby evils have
also grown 10 much more formidable proper
tious than theirs ever reached, for they have
had an almost unrestricted field for growth
both in Congress aud in our State Legislatures
since their first appearance IN the former in
1885 until they have attained a stage Of de-
velupmeHt eXtraOrd mary IN The ingenuity aud
intrcGcy Of ITS ramiicatOus. ln most cases
nowadays the l0bby's real work is no longer
done in the State House or Capitol, but IN the
primaries aud nOmInatlng conventions, at which
the men who are TO act as the lobby's agents ia
the legislative body arc selected. The bargain
for their services is madoTthen their election

reasonable assertion to say that tn
plumed knight is to-day among all classes
of people and in all sections the most
popular American who ever lived. 1t is
his reciprocity ideas, more than any other
one thing, that has served to endear Mr..
Blaine to the people OF the south and
southwest, and it is among the conserva-
tive business men, irrespective of old
party ties, who lead in this sentiment.
The idea of reciprocity as advanced by
Mr.. Blaine has simply captured the peo-
pie of the south. After all, it is self inter
est that sways the masses, and the people
of the west and south in particular see in
this idea the opening up of an immense
commercial and industrial field for them.
In advocating this subject they see
that the administration has their welfare
questionably at heart, hence this ere
ciprocity" of feeling, and President Harri-
son, be ii said, comes in for his full share
CT credit in calling as his chief advisor of
state the man from Maine. A southern
business man of standing thus speaks of
the sentiment of the southern people on
this subject:
IF the president were TO be elected by
the popular vote of the people and Blaine
should be the Republican candidate he
would poll enough Democratic votes in
the south to elect him beyond doubt.
AS result of his advocacy Of reciprocity
[ honestly believe that he can carry the
cities of Mobile, New Orleans, Galveston
and the other gulf ports interested in the
South American trade"

RESPECTFULLY REFERRED TO THE SANTA FE
ROAD.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
road has put on sale reduced rates round
trip tickets to San Antonio, Texas. The
tickets are good for six months at one
and one-third fare and are called "invalid
tickets" The Santa Fe railroad ought to
do likewise by New Mexico. AS health
resort and climatologically considered the
entire territory of New Mexico is far
superior to San Antonio and for that
matter to any portion of the state Of
Texas. The Santa Fe should put on sale
invalid tickets to the principal towns on
its route in New Mexico, namely Ration,
Springer, Watrous, Las Vegas, Santa Fe,
Albuquerque, Socorro, San Marcial, Las
Vegas, Deming and Silver City. This
move would prove beneficial to the road,
to New Mexico, and to thousands of
invalids who are absolutely in need of
New Mexicos health giving and health
preserving climate. This is respectfully,
but very earnestly, referred to President
Marvel for consideration and action.

who had been out through the northwest

Does Not Know as Yet,

According to the Ration Range the
people of New Mexico will probably be
called upon within the coming year to
again incur the expense and annoyance
Of another election on the question OF
statehood. If so, the Range thinks the
result will be the same as last year, since
the people of this territory, outside Of the
office holders, office seekers and political
manipulators, are not suffering for state
hood. Again the Optic is compelled to
confess that it has not sufficiently felt the
public pulse on this question to satisfy
itself what the result would be.-Las
