English Comment ON the Bond Issue.
Commenting upon President Clevelands
message to Congress on the bond issue, the
London Times today says: president
Cleveland is determined to have his own
equanimity. There is no reason on this
side of the Atlantic to wish success to his
policy. Americas loss by the issue of per
cent bonds will, to the extent OF one-half,
be a gain to the outside world Repayment
in coin means gold repayment While pub
lie promises are observed and the Ameri-
can treasury Is able to keep them. III
very little what form of repayment Is
stipulate ted. Sixteen million dollars is too
much even for rich nation to be careless
about. but with the existing difficulty or
finding a first-class investment yielding 8
per cent. lenders will be grateful for bonds
that will return 3 81 per cent
The Chronicle this morning, In an edt-
torial the new American bond issue,
said: THE unfavorable terms upon which
America proposes to borrow are not very
fattering commentary on American nnance.
The present financial and currency system
cannot last long, but what will replace IT :
What substantial guarantee have the great
banking and financial houses that a COM
plete financial revolution Wix not occur IN
America within a brief period?
The Times in it's financial article says
that Paris will be likely to be keener after
the American bonds than London. 1t adds
that some influential people In London
seem indisposed to invest in the issue at
all.
The Daily News, in it's financial article,
says it believes that the price OF the new
issue will yield investors 3 II per cent
There is a widespread market available
both in England and on the continent for
such securities

ON THE OTHER SIDE.

Ne go our ways in life too much alone,
We hold ourselves too far from all our kind,
Zoo often we are dead to sigh and moan,
Too often to the weak and helpless blind,
Too often where distress and want abide
We turn and pass upon the other side.
The other side is trodden smooth and worn
By footsteps passing idly all the day,
Where lie the bruised once that faint and mourn
Is seldom more than an untrodden way
Our selfish hearts are for our feet the guide
They lead us by upon the other side.
It should be ours the oil and wine to pour
Into the bleeding wounds of stricken ones,
To take the smitten and the sick and sore
And bear them where a stream of blessing
runs.
Instead we look about-the way is wide
And SO we pass upon the other side.
o friends and brothers, gliding down the years,
Humanity Is calling each and all
In tender accents, born of grief and tears
pray you, listen to the thrilling CALI
You cannot, in your cold and selfish pride,
Pass guiltlessly upon the other side.

TOO MANY sPARRoWs.
The English Bird Is Not Even q Favorite In
His Own Home.

The English Bird Is Not Even Favorite In
His Own Home.
1t appears that the detested English
sparrow is by no means a general favor
lite in his own home across the water,
where his habits have been more care
fully noted.
In the course of his paper ON "Wild
Birds, Useful and Injurious" in the
Royal Agricultural society's journal,
Mr.. @. F. Archibald says: ''The sparrow
has received an OVERLOOKING measure Of
abuse from farmers and gardeners, and,
notwithstanding all that has been urged
in its favor by enthusiastic 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 1t labors that
corn growing is carried on for its es-
pecial benefit. Grain is undoubtedly the
mainstay of the sparrow. This it OBJ
tains in tie 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 proolaiming
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 gooseberries 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 pinls 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.
