New Orleans, March GA bevy of spar

extensive foraging party, fitted into the
quiet precincts of Carondelet street yes
terday. Some men were cutting the fresh
spring grass from the banquette, and the
sparrows were eager for raid on the up
turned soil There must have been nearly
thirty birds in ALL Perhaps half
dozen or SO who were the leaders of the
party settled on the ground at oncs and
began investigating the find. The rest,
twenty-five plump little fellows, stopped
up above to await orders from the leader,
stringing themselves out in row on a
telephone wire, chattering and ohirping
most gleefully.
Suddenly w3ful thing happened. The
innocent-looking wire became surcharged
with electricity, and like q veritable
thread of destruction sent the merry lit
tie birds to their death without a warn
ing. Quicker than 1t has taken to tell it.
the little tragedy was enacted, and
twenty-five plump little sparrows lay
dead in the gutter. I he birds on the
banquette looked on aghast. Finally,
amid much chirping and fiuttering, hav-
ing satisfied themselves that their fellows

rest of the party that was already ap-
pearing in installments up and down the
street.
One little fellow, with a noticeably
shrill voice and general fussiness, seated
himself on top of the wire post. well out
of harms way, and called out note of
warning to the birds as they drew near.
The rest of the leaders divided up one

the block and spreading the news of the
tragedy.
This was evident. for during the whole
day, though innumerable sparrows FEAST

the banquette, not another one was seen
to rest on the electric wires overhead.

nolicy has not been without excuse and
tolerably good excuse. Other questions
there were which were more prom inent
and more pressing, and it was held to g
unwise, and rightly SO perhaps, to jeop
ardize a correct settl ement of those
questions by creating divisions upon
subordinate matters.
But this excuse, however good it may
have been once, has ceased to be good
now. The currency question has passed
from subordinate to the first place.
Though the tariff may be placed first in
order in the platform, it really occupies
a second place. The Democrats, except
small and not very powerful faction,
have practically admitted the value OF
the protaction policy by incorporating ii
In tariff bill of their own making.
They have completely abandoned the
convention that protection is fraud
and unconstitutional, and there is nc
prospect that they will return to it again
IN the near future. There Is still differ.
ence of opinion between the two parties
as to the application of the protection
policy but the value of the protection
principle is practically admitted by the
Democrats as we'll as the Republicans.
But on the question of the currency there
Is radical and vital difference of opin-
ion existing among the voters Years OF
effort to compose the differences and
get together has failed to accomplish
anything, simply because the differen-
ces are radical and impossible of recon-
element. Old excuses for vague declaIa-
tions on the subject, that the question
was of secondary Importance or shat
possibly it would settle itself, have ceased
to be valid. The friends of free coinage
of silver can no longer be satisfied by
vague utteranoes or tricks of rhetoric.
They demand clear and explicit declara.
ton SO plain that anybody can under.
stand it and nobody misunderstood it, in
favor of this policy. The enemies of free
silver, the people that think that policy
would precipitate commercial disaster, are
equally stiff in their demands. The time
has come for plain speaking by the con.
ventions of both parties. Indeed there
must be plain speaking. Whatever policy
either party sees fit to adopt it must COM
mil itself to it without equiyocation.
There is no longer any chance OF steering
between Seylla and Charybdis. Party
leaders may deem it dangerous to espouse
either the cause of the silver men or that
of the anti-silver men; but they will find
it vastly more dangerous to espouse
neither. There are plenty of signs tina,
people of all views have got tired OF evas.
ion and ambiguity and will have no more
OF it.

CURED BY SUN BATHS.
Happy Recovery of Paralytic Through
a Resort to Exposure.

Happy Recovery of Paralytic Through
a Resort to Exposure.
The liveliest passenger on'board the
steamship City of Peking was Hum
phrey Kendricl1, of Los Angeles. He
had just returned from Japan, says the
San Francisco Chronicle, a country that
he loves, because few years ago it COM
pletely cured him of paralysis.
When Kendrick found that he had
lost control of his limbs he determined
to spend all the money he had to get re-
lief. 1t was easy enough to tell what
had brought the paralysis upon him,
for the first stroke came soon after he
had a bad tumble on horseback. The
animal fell in such a way as to catch
Kendrick squarely beneath it, severely
wrenching and straining his spine.
Kendrick found that he was much bet
ter in hot weather, and this led him to
go to the Hawaiian islands. He was so
much better there when it was hot that
he concluded to go to a still warmer
place. Somebody told him that the
south coast of Japan in summer was
the place.
For many months during that hottest
of hot summers Kendrick engaged in a
most unique attempt to regain his
health. For days at a time he would
lie positively stripped to the skin in the
hot sand on the seashore of Japan. He
got so that he rather liked it. AS the
days passed he kept getting better.
Then he took to seeking exercise. A
donkey was secured and Iendricl, stark
naked, would ride the animal up and
down the beach. It was almost too hot
for the beast, but Kendrick did not seem
to mind it. The result was complete
recovery. Kendricll came back feel
ing like schoolboy and much infatu-
ated with the country of the Japs.

this city has also fully investigated the
matter referred to in the above letter.
and finds the attack on the character of
Rev. L. Grey to be, not only entirely
unwarran:ed, but really of malicious
origin.
In the oregonian. OF Sunday appeared
the following:
OREGON CITY, April IS, 1896.
The published condemnation of the
Rev. J.. Grey by President Mollenauer,
of the Washington district of the Ohio
synod of the Evangelical Lutheran
church, led to an investigation by the
council of Mr.. Grey's church in this
city, the government of which is essen.
italy Congregational, and the councils
findings are quite interesting. President
Mollenauer's public warning contained
no distinct charges, but intlmated that
partial investigation of Mr.. Grey bad
been frustrated by the withdrawal OF
Mr.. Grey and his congregation from the
synod and the direct statement was
made that the pastor was man of tun-
reliable character" The report of the
council goes somewhat into the history
of the matter. 1t particularly gives the
names of persons, dates and alleges that
the evil reports concerning Mr.. Grey
were the result of conspiracy, in which
go many ministers of the denomination
in the Washington district were Impli-
Gated, that it was necessary for this
. church to sever its relations with the
synod in order to avoid becoming a
partner in the conspiracy against the
absolutely innocent Rev. L. Grey.
This was the result of church trial
held here in January. The local congre
cation and the pastor tried to get the
accusers to submit charges, but this wal
refused them. However, whatsoever o
the charges that could be picked VI
from rumors, were considered by tn,
council and they are pronounced to b,
groundless. The council declares 1t
unqualified faith in Mr.. Grey, and say
that his character has been ''ver.
wrongfully slandered" by Mr.. Mollen
auer.
At the request of Mr.. Grey. tn
ministerial association of this city offere,
to examine any charges which might b
preferred against him by the authoritie
of the Washington district, but sue
authorities declined to submit an
charges for such action.
This week Mr.. Grey left here for hi
new pastorate in The Dalles, but he wi
return here to preach once a month.
