Miss Lucy W. Cony of Augusta has an
eloquent plea for the sparrows in a recent
issue of the Boston journal;
have been an invalid number of years
and one of my chief amusements has
been to watch the busy creatures in
the little world which look at from my
windows. That the English sparrow
drives away other birds | know is not
true. for as soon as the birds begin to
come in spring scatter crumbs to them.
That the English sparrows outnumber
the others that feed is true, but with
them come. at the same time, our little
red headed sparrow. her "cousin, a
larger sparrow. and our common robin.

English sparrows at one time, but our

geous mate. has fed and raised her brood

nets" very near the house.

the little English sparrow attends To its own
affairs very we'll, and might serve as an ex-
ample in that respect TO some who are sup
posed to know more.

The great majority of the delegates
who go to the Minneapolis convention
will go there unfettered by instructions,
and therefore free to select fol
candidate the Republican who un-
der all the circumstances seems
most likely to carry the country.
This is as it should be. There are oc-
casions of course when the sentiment of
the country is SO overwhelmingly in
favor OF some particular man, and the
existence of such sentiment is so mani
fest, that a national convention has moth
ing to do but to record the people,s
manifest will. Such an occasion the
coming national convention would have
been provided Mr.. Blaine had expressed
a Willingness to become candidate, or
mad manifested no unwillingness. But
the declination of Mr.. Blaine left nobody
in the field for whose nomination it
could be truthfully said there was an
overwhelming preponderance of Repub-
lican sentiment. Undoubtedly President
Harrison has great many strong and
active supporters; on the other hand it is
equally true that he has a great MANY
strong and active opponents--men who
while admitting that his administration
has been a creditable one doubt if he is
the most available Republican to carry
the country at the coming election
These two elements will meet at Mime
apolis and will present to the delegates
arguments in support of their re
spective views. And it is fortunate
under the circumstances that the great
majority of the delegates will be in a
position to listen to these arguments and
give them the weight that they deserve.
What the Republicans of the country
want is the leader who is the most likely
to lead to victory. Other considerations
assuming of course that nobody will
be selected who is not qualified by charac-
ter and attainments-should be subordi-
nate to this.
