AN IMPORTED NUISANCE.

A nuisance that has for many years
plagued the people of the Eastern cities
has at last come to plague the West. II is
now in Seattle, Tacoma and other Sound
cities, having made its appearance but re-
Gently. 1t is the English sparrow, and
with the coming of this bird the going Of
the native song birds OF the country is
only a question OF short time. This is
the experience of all communities that
have been afflicted with this belligerent
and aggressive pest. The sparrow had
the reputation In his native home of being
an honest. industrious bird. tireless in his
search and pursuit Of insects OF every de-
scription. this was his business, and he
carried IL on successfully in and out of sea-
son. At home. in Merry Old England he
may have been a square and honorable
bird, but in America has proven an I'M
mitigated fraud. tramp and common
street scavanger. New York, Philadelphia
and Boston were the first cities TO intro
duce the sparrow, and they did 1t for the
purpose OF Kidding their parks and public
grounds OF worms and insects that were
destroying the trees and foliage. With
change of climate and country there also
came a change OF habit, and the sparrow
proved lazy loafer. more inclined to en-
courage the worms in their depredations
than to prevent them. In one particular
only WAS this bird success, and that was
in multiplying and replenishing the earth,
and in this ne continued until he was so
numerous that premiums were offered for
sparrow scalps. Every effort was made TO
rid those cities Of the pestiferous birds.
but IL proved ineffectual: they apparently
fattened and thrived OH persecution.
They have now as effectually overrun the
East as the English rabbits introduced
into New Zealand oyerran that country.
multiplying in few years from dozens TO
millions. and proving as destructive as
they were numerous. While sparrows
have not been destructive OF fruit or foil
age. they have been the means OF Kidding
the country they have invaded of all the
song and native birds. The communities
infected say they are birds without a re-
deeeming quality. ugly OF form. devoid OF
pumage and without song. They are
worse than the insects they were intended
TO destroy.

THE TARIFF AN ISSUE STILL.

William c. Whitney Is reported 20 have
said that the tariff would no longer be an
issue having been satisfactorily settled
by the last congress for all time TO come.
The general public has been led 20 believe
that the Wilson-Gorman hill was not a
very satisfactory piece OF work. either 70
one side or tie other. Many months were
spent in wranglng over It. more than 900
changes We're made IN it. and then st be-
came law only through the most siren
uous efforts OF its friends and the constant
calling IN % executive persuasion and
pressure The tariff question was indeed
settled Tor a time. bat there are very few
who have ever maintained that Il was set
tied satisfactorily.
Besides. the question Of raising revenue
for the future is one whi-h ia itself IS GER
tain 20 bring the tariT question again into
prominence. our deae.t is growing stead
ily. The receipts fron customs and ex-
c.ses are falling below cur expenditures
every month. and the balance is always on
tile wrong side. This cannot continue al
WAYS. The issuing OF bonds 70 meet run
ming expenses is out OF tie question as a
means OF maintaining the government.
Some method % raising larger revenue
must be devised. and tie most natural AM
satisfactory would undoubtedly be 10y M
increase OF the customs duties.
