FATHER DOYLE SPEAKS.

Rev. A. P. Doyle, a Paulist
father OF the church of St. Paul
the Apostle, Columbus avenue
and Sixtieth street, New York
city, in speaking recently upon the
excise law, expressed the following
views:
"There has been going on all
summer an educational influence
that has carried on it's silent propa-
.ganda so effectually that it has rel
egated the barroom, with all its
cOncomitants. to the hades OF un-
desirable things The strength of
sentiment will not be weakened
one particle by the paid procession
of brewery employees.
ait has been quite refreshing for
us who have been obliged to stand
at the post of duty during the hot
season to have the day of peace
and rest unbroken by fierce brawls
of drunkards rolling through the
streets.
LAST summer. it was no infre-
quent thing to have sudden calls
to the lower avenues of the city
that were the result of Sunday
drunkenness. This summer has
been marked by the entire absence
of these calls. 1t is quite certain
that if the people of the lower dis
tricts of the city were allowed to
express their opinion, uuinfuenced
by partisan politics or the infu-
ence of local politicians, that the
healthier sentiment will proclaim
itself loudly for the closed bar
room on Sunday"

HON. c. W, MCBRIDE,

Atthe very last moment Of the.
session, the legislature elected Hon.
George W. Mcbride the successor
tn Mr.. Dolph in the United States
senate. Personally Mr.. Mcbride
is untarnished by any scandal and
in this respect is full worthy his
high distinction. Politically, he
isa republican and q protectimiSt
and stands on the platform Of his
party enacted in '94. If he is for
free silver, no one has ever heard
oft. He is understood to 6e in
favor Of limiting the coinage so as
nut to in interfere with the parity
between gold and silver. That
ought to be good enough for any
man, for, on this basis, republicans,
democrats and populists can claim
the new senator as their own. He
is very cautious and has not yet so
expressed his views as to enable a
voter to really place him. When this
is done, we believe he will be found
opposed to the extreme free silver
continent Of his party, and that he
will lean weary decidedly to The
views Of Mr.. Dolph. There was a
very pronounced opinion that
Dolph is a machine politicion. Ii
repeated election to office by the
republicans makes their candidate
machine politician, then the new
senator is even worst than Dolph,
fir he has beer in office longer and
oftener than has Dolph. The
people do not know the true
inwardness Of Mr.. Mcbride election
and they will not know until some
one 'talks out in meeting"
1t matters not what the new
senator's views are, and why he was
chosen. The Republican party
will have to answer for the useless
and costly delay in making their
choice. They have so manipulated
things, in view of this contest, that
the most shameful cxtravagances
have been committed. The object
ionable and useless commissions
have been retained, when their
destruction WAS solemnly promised.
The expenses of the Governors
office were largely increased, when
these same solons talked them
selves hoarse in denouncing Gov.
Pennoyer for drawing allthe money
allowed by law. They have given
costly positions tn numerous clerks
many of which positions were
merely sinecures. Other useless
wastes Of money too numerous to
note were permitted. No Re-
publicon paper can conscientiously
defend this last legislature. Its
sins of omission ann of commission
are too glaring and to frequent.

It appears that tie Gosc s2i Eng .isb

lie in his own ho1le across tn water
where his habits have been snore care
fully noted.
In the course Of his papag,on wild
Birds, Useful and Injur; .ons," in the
Royal Agricultural society's journal,
Mr.. c. f. Archibald says: ''E-he sparrow
has received az overlooking measure of
abuse from farmers and gardeners, and,
notwithstanding all that has been urged
in its favor by eathusiastio advocates,
there can be little doubt that it deserves
q large share of the vituperation be-
slowed upon it. The keynote to the spar
rows character is to be found in the
delusion under which it labors that
corn growing is carried Oh for its es-
pecial benefit. Grain is undoubtedly the
mainstay Of the sparrow, This it OBJ
tains in the fields at seedtime, when
sprouting, in the unripe, milky condi-
ton, and when fully matured At this
last named period a quantity of grain is
wasted by being shaken out on the
ground by the birds, in addition to the
amount actually consumed. At this
time, too, numbers of sparrows which
live for the greater part of the year in
towns are tempted to visit the field,
their grimy appearance proclaiming
their usual haunts.
''In gardens the sparrow finds full
scope for its destructive propensities in
devouring peas, of which it is very fond,
as well as few goosebeIries and cher
ries. IN the most mischievous way, too,
it pulls to pieces the flowers of the
crocus, dahlia, primrose, polyanthus,
hepatica, heartsease, wistaria, the shoots
Of pinks and carnations, the pods of the
laburnum and the blossom of fruit
trees. 1t also does considerable damage
to beds Of young radishes and lettuces,
besides levying toll on the grass seeds
sown on lawns. On the other hand, it
must be freely admitted that the spar
row does a great deal of good.
Among the pests destroyed by the
sparrows are wireworms, daddy long
legs, Weevils from peas and beans,
aphides, caterpillars of various kinds,
housefies, blue beetles, black beetles
and white butterflies. In some districts
choviss, otherwise known as Maybugs,
occasionally do immense damage and
at such times sparrows have been seen
with their mouths crammed full of
them. The quality of weed seeds which
the sparrow eats must also be placed to
its credit, for in this way is helps to
suppress such Objectionable plants as
charlock, corn bind weed, goosefoot,
knotgrass, buttercup, dandelion, chick
weed and dock. -
