THE SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS.

There is 8 statemcn at aren't the
s.aua liter Of BIRDS for millinery pur
poses in the Edinburgh Review that
ought 70 cali halt to the practice OF
wearing dead birds on bonnets. The
presence of these birds is to be attrib
uted to thoughtlessness rather than to
cruelty, for women are not cruel as
sex or a class. The same effect and
amount OF ad0rnnent can be secured,
to all intents and purposes, from cloth
Of different colors and textures, or
from feathers furnished by birds that
it is unnecessary to put to death. In
single province in India 10000 black
cartridges were killed, in a hunt Of
few days, to supply the European
miliners. IN Lahore eco of the some
what rare kingfshers were killed by
one man in q month. At London
auction room not long ago there was
q sale Of 100000 skins of birds freshly
received from the tropics. One deal
er in LoudOn received i'll a single con-
signment 112, coo dead birds and $780,,
600 pairs Of wings. In islands north
Of Scotland there is a constant slaugh-
ter Of guIls and kittiwakes, whose
wings are popular, many of the birds
being just out Of the nest, and not full
fedged. Besides the birds that are
actually secured by the hunters, there
are thousands that survive the shot,
and succeed in getting away with
broken wings and bleeding bodies to
die in the sbrubbery. On one small
island in the Shetland group 5000
birds have been slaughtered in a sin
gle fortnight.

Wealth is extremely deceitful in the
impression which it gives Of the mo-
raj character Of it's possessor. The

even than a dime, TO the man Of labor

what is quite as bad, his neighbors,

it is received with great calmness;
but the dollar Of the rich man is re-

ELUSIVE gratitude. Riches are not
only themselves deceitfuI. but
they serve to foster deceitfulness in

THE MORAL T4LUE OF NEATNESS.

One Of the serious mistakes made by
mothers in training children is in sup
posing that careful habits can be cul-
tivated in careless surroundings. A
ragged or worn carpet, SO little valu-
ed by the mother that grease or ink
spots can be left On it without causing
comment, may become q moral ca
lamity. Tying q child up in bib and
giving it the liberty to spill it's food
when eating is responsible for the bad
table habits in the men and women
whom we meet. q child who is made

more time repairing damages-the re-

the furnishing in the dining room,
than she would need to spend in set

It is stated upon good authority that
the best American railways are run
more efficiently than any others Oh
earth. It has ever been proved that al
American road, thoroughly equipped,
will carry q greater weight with thu
same power than an English owned
and managed road.-In this case the
advantage lay in the American meth
cd Of arranging the load and Of ap-
plying the power. This is due to the
natural inventive instinct and mental
adaptability Of our people, developed
by the education incident to indivi
dual enterprise. Still, there are citi-
zens who think the government
should own and run the roads! If this
should ever happen we would soon
have the inefficient management Of
the French and German lines.

A singular case at Pittsburg is re-
lated by a doctor to an eastern paper.
A man is under the death sentence for
murder, who after committing the
crime, attempted to take his own life,
and in doing so cut a terrible cash in
his neck. A tube was inserted therein
by the physicians and since that time
the man has filled his lungs through
that medium. The location Of the tube
is below the point where the rope will
encircle his neck, and, consequently,
if the drop should fail to cause dislo-
cation, the man viii simply remain sus-
pended in the air in no danger of death
from strangnIation. The doctor says
the case is attracting much attention,
and if the crime for which the man is
TO be hanged had not been of a par
ticularly atrocious character there is
no doubt that his sentence would
at least be COMMITTED to life imprison-
-aeht. Well, we should say all they
have to do before the hanging is to
take out his tube.

THE CRY FUNDS.

The intention of the members Of the
city council who wanted the city
money not in use to bring in some
revenue by way of interest, is no doubt
most excellent. It is desirable that
municipal affairs shall be conducted
with as much thrift and economy. as
private business affairs call forth. The
use of money, particularly in large
amounts, is worth something, and the
city cash ought to bring all it is hon
estly worth. That is what those gen
tlemen have vainly endeavored to
bring about That they have not sue
ceeded is no fault of theirs. We do
not know that fault in relation to the
matter can be found with anybody
The city treasurer is under heavy
bonds for the faithful custody of the
city funds. He is undoubtedly the
legal custodian thereof. His objections
appear to be well taken. He does not
want the city money deposited in New
York. but in this city. He has not
given a monopoly of deposit to any
one banking institution. The banks
here have hitherto declined to pay in
terest on money deposited on call. The
question of the city treasurer's hon
esty or ability has not been doubted or
raised in any way, by the councillors
who desired simply the financial bene-
fit of the city.
The treasurer should use his best
as instructed by the coun-
c;l, to obtain interest from some of the
city banks on municipal money depos-
tied with them. If the New York banks
can afford to pay something for the
use of such sums, it is possible that
our local banks may be ready to offer
the same. But whether the PROPOSE
ZION shall fail altogether or not, the
intentions Of those gentlemen who
started the effort have been clearly
and solely in the public interest.

THE CAUSE OF DELAY.


The cry Of the whole country is "set-
tie the tariff question" Even the Re
publicans, who want the Wilson bill
defeated say pass the bill if it cannot
be shelved and let there be no more
delay" The inpatience and irritation
exhibited on this matter by all classes
of the people are caused by the convic-
ton that business cannot revive until
the country feels itself on a steady com
mercial basis. While the prevailing
uncertainty as to duties continues, all
trade and industrial interests are dis
turbed. Why, then. is not the bill
pushed to a finish?
For answer read the Washington dis
patches dated June H. One sentence

Harpers Weekly states that "Profes-
sor Scripture, of Tale, has recently
suggested that persons who suffer from
insomnia may find it worth while to
use "antiphones" to shut out disturb
ing noises at night. The antiphone, it
is explained, is not an Edison inven-
ton, but may be made off hand when
needed by heating a small piece of
sealing wax and inserting it into the
external meatus of the ear. Professor
Scripture says his own expert
etnce is that for four years
he has obtained sound sleep by
the use of such antiphones.
whereas before their use Cand now at
any time when they are omitteO COM

tanned" Insomniasts would do no harm
by trying this remedy unless they made
the sealing wax too hot.

will tell the tale. Not a cog was
turned Why was that? Because Re
publican Senators are determined to
pursue their policy of obstruction. SEN
ator Quay, who has been delivering
himself of long-winded protection plati-
tudes at intervals for several weeks,
spoke until he was exhausted. He had
consumed four days, and on that day
wasted four hours. He yielded from
sheer exhaustion, and then set speeches
followed from other opponents of the
bill
Then Hoar. of Massachusetts. took
up the refrain. His harangue was moth
ing but a partisan stump speech. fit
for demagogue on the platform but
disgraceful for a statesman in the SEN
ate. 1t was talking against time and
against Democracy. Another piece of
impudent folly was the motion of Nit
cbell, of Oregon, to lay the tariff bill
on the table. The routine of voting to
defeat the motion. occasioned further
delay. The purpose in view was to him
der progress, and so mot cog was
turned
We have deprecated the disposition
on the part of some Democrats to
eche the carping of Republicans against
the party in power In doing so we
have had no disposition to defend any
thing that is wrong or silence anything
that is right But we do desire to see
justice done by Democrats to their own
party, and we fail to see why fault
should be found where it does not ex-
list
For what delay has come from the
Democratic side we have no apology
to make. We are against many of the
amendments that lhave been introduced
since the Wilson bill left the House.
We resent the postponement of the tar
/ if question to give way for the i'm
perfect and unsatisfactory legislation
as to silver. Bue these are not the
points under immediate consideration.
If Democratic Senators waste the
time in obstructive tactics or fatulent
speeches, let them be blamed to the
fullest fair extent But when the
blocks in the way OF a speedy dispo-
sition of the tariff question come from
the enemy, let the fact be made to ap-
pear and let public criticism be direc-
ted where it is deserved. 1t is the Re
publicans in the Senate who are re-
sponsthle for the present delay in
tariff legislation, and the whole coun-
try should understand that patent fact
and resent the obstruction.
1t may be asked, as the Democrats
are in the majority, why do they not
have their way? But the right of de-
bate. of amendment, of other parlia-
mentary tactics cannot be impaired.
And if the Democratic majority were
to attempt, by new rules-the passage
of which would consume considerable
time-to shut off free speech or any
other senatorial privilege, more fault
would be found with them and their
policy than now is cast on the whole
body of the Senate for the present de-
lay.
To wait is one of the hardest les
sons when something is urgently wan
ted. To exercise patience is a difficult
task when immense interests are at
stake through delay. But in our i'm
patience and irritation at the lingering
of the tariff in the Senate, let US be
fair and just, and cast the blame
where it belongs, and not find cause
less fault with our friends when it is
clear that the trouble comes from our
enemies.
