 MoNFiCRLLoNIAN:- mother leg islative week has passed, and been numbered with ,he things that were. Many bIIls have been in troduced and referred 10 the ap. propriate committees. The com ing week is likely to be one of un- usual interest here. Tuesday will be the day for the election of U. s. Senator. Senator Berry is here now, and will remain until after the Senatorial election. He will be elected on first ballot, without a doubt. Outside of leg islative work, there is little of in. terest transpiring here.
 was out at the U. s. Court room last night and listened 10 an argument. by Paul Jones, Of Tex. arkana, in a hundred thousand dollar damage suit against the Railroad for injuring California lady in wreck at Texarkana last summer. Mr.. Jones made a strong argument, but I am of the opinion that he is better on the rostrum in a political contest than before Il jury in court.
 It is impossible for me to say, or even guess at, what the legisla tnre will do at the present session, l can only hope for the best.
 l am sorry to report that find Judge c. D. Wood not enjoying the best of health. The general opinion among his many friends here is that he is working too bard. He is untiring in his Ia. bars, and fl his health permits, he will make his mark as iurist.
 Mrs. w. F. Thompson was re- ported quite sick few days ago; 1 have not heard from her this morning, but hope she is getting better.
 Senator J. G. Williamson is en. toying good health and is alert in looking after the interests of his constituents.
 Maj. Warren NJ. Anderson is still with ns, ard is looking we'll.
 l want to say to the good peo- pie of Drew County, that if any oi them desire any information from the Capital, while 1 am here, all they have got 10 do is to let me hear from them aad 1 will accom- modate them, if within my pow CT.
 am glad to see that the MoNTI cELLoNIAN is giving its readers [ fair synopsis of the legislative work, and from it the readers O. the paper will be able to form : very good idea of what is being done.
 The New Constitutional Con vention question does not seem to be gaining much ground, and l an persuaded that about the bes' thing we can do is to get good lot of amendments.

Farmers and Birds.

Ii is an old saying that we little
know who are our real friends. The
farmers who have been continually
making war on the hawk and the owl
are lust beginning to find out that
they did not recognize their best
friends, but have been making them
the victims of their malice, where in
fact they were perhaps his greatest
benefactors. DIR. G. Hart Merriam,
chef of the division Of ornithology Of
the agricultural department, says,
that It i all mistake and that these
birds are deserving the kindest pro-
lection Of the tillers of the soil. He
examined the stemachs Of 1000 Of
these birds and found that ninety-fiye
per cent Of their prey consists OF ami
NAL and insect life which il is good
thing for the farmer to have destroy
ed. In two wears Pennsylvania ex-
pended 500, 200 in the destruction OF
these birds, and would now be will
ing to pay three times that amount il
they could restore the damage they
have done Dubuque Times.

Sentiment ~ sense

In his very able address, last sun
day Rev. Eaton advanced the thought
that the Union soldier fought good
fight because his cause was Just. and
the Confederate no matter how gall
liant and brave did not fight good
fight because that for which he strove
was evil,
Such words from the soldier patriot
and large-minded Christian divine.
DIR. Eaton, are worthy of careful
thought We hear so much in these
days Of forgetting the past, Of honor
ing alike the Blue and the GRAY. Of
treating the momentous issues of the
civil war as trivial that words of
sober sense instead of weak sentiment
are inspiring to those who believe that
sacrifices made in the defense of union
and freedom should not be so easily
forgotten. The Blue stands for liberty
and union. The Gray stands for slav-
erv and rebellion.
1t must not be forgotten that in
honorlng them alike we show respect
alike TO the principles for which they
fought. For the Confederate as a
man, brave and chivalrous, no harsh
word should be uttered. As citizen
OF the United States he should be ac-
corded ungrudgingly the rights ard
privileges OF citizenship That the
people OF the south should cherish the
memory OF their dead and strew
flowers over their graves in token of
their love is fitting, is commendable.

A sacred pnr.

Memorial day is day Of mourning
and day OF rejoicing. 1t has two
fold character. We mourn for the
dead heroes but we rejoice in the
cause for which they died. The time
will no doubt come when the latter
element viii be the predominant one,
when the funeral character Of the day
will nearly or quite give way to festi-
witty. When the present generation
shall have passed away, when person
al recollections OF the veterans Of the
civil war shall have been erased from
the minds Of men, when the lapse Of
time shall have placed the soldier Of
the civil war in the same relation to
the living that the heroes of the Revo-
luton stand to us, festive celebrations
will be fit and proper.
But that time is in the future: it is
not now. AS long as there is G. A.
X organization, as long as active
participants IN the great struggle
live it is the sober, sacred memorial
service that should determine all 30th
of May exercises.
We are not far enough removed
from the Civil war to indulge in mer-
riment and levity on that day. Only
thirty years have past since its close
and to the minds OF many its thrilling
experiences are as fresh as though
they happened yesterday.
The younger generation and those
who have suffered no loss Of relative
or dear one in the Rebellion should
be.r these facts in mind and out of
respect for the veterans of the war
and for those who have suffered per-
sonal bereavement avoid any conduct
that can cause pain or give offense.
