HOW AIGRETTEs ARE OBTAINED.
Protest Against a Fashion Based on the
Suffering of Birds

Protest Against a Fashion Based on the
Suffering of Birds
Those humane workers who are Ia
boring to dissuade women from using
whole birds to adorn their hats and
bonnets are now turning their attention
with equal energy against the use of the
aigrette. Nowoman, certainly DO moth
er, would ever buy another aigrette If
she realized what its providing for her
use meant. In a circular sent out re-
Gently this Is shown:
These little feathers" says the cir
cular, were provided by nature as the
nuptial adornmentl of the white heron,
or egret. Many kind-hearted women,
who would not on any account do a
rruel act, are. by following this fash
ion, causing the continuance of a very
great cruelty. The aigrette in nearly all
cases Is made of the slender decomposed
feathers that grow at one time OF the
year on the birds backs and drop grace
fully over their sides and tails. The
less fine plumes, with shorter and stiff
er flaments, are from the squacco
heron, which is not an egret. The best
time 10 attack them is when the young
birds are fully fedged, but not able to
fly, for at that time the solicitude of the
parent birds is greatest, and, forgetfuI
Of their own danger, they are most read
lily made victims. When the killing Is
finished and the few handfuls of Gov
eted feathers have been plucked out,
the slaughtered birds are left in white
heap TO tester in the sun and wind, in
sight of their orphaned young, that
cry for food and are not fed. There is
nothing In the whole earth so pitiable
as this-so pitisble and so shameful
that for such purpose human cunning
should take advantage of this feeling
and instinct which we regard as SO
noble in cur own species, and as some
thing sacred-the tender passion of
the parent for its offspring, which
causes it 10 neglect its own safety and
TO perish miserably, q sacrifice TO its
love.
1T is when in this gayer dress that
the birds are most valuable for the pur-
poses of fashion, and for other forms |
of decoration; nor Is this all; it Is then |
that they are most easily found and |
taken The shyest most secretive kinds |
lose all their wild instinct in their over
anxiety for the safety of |
their eggs or young. And when the poor |
bird Is uttering piercing cries, its sensi-
tive frame quivering. its bill gaping, |
as il the air could no longer sustain it |
IN its intense agitation. and huttering /
its loving wings 70 make them more |
conspicuous and by such means
draw the danger away from its treas
ures and on 70 itself, it is ruthlessly
shot for its featheS."-N. Y. Times.

1t is getting very dangerous to criticize
anything or anybody in this country,
because somebody is sure to arise and
shout that his section or his State has
been insulted, and pour out the walls OF
his wrath upon the offender. Probably
~ did not occur to many of the people who
listened to the Presidents address on
home missions that he had been guilty OF
insulting anybody when he spoke of GER
tain undesirable States and communities,
But Mr.. Hartman of Montana suspect
ing that his State was one of the unde.
sirable ones referred to by the Presi-
dent, sailed into him with great fury in
the House on Thursday. Yet these very
same Western representatives who are SC
sensitive when anything is said that can
be construed as a reflection upon the Sec
ton they come from, are continually
pounding away at the "gold bugs" and
the monopolists Of the East Perhaps il
they would set a good example themselves
by treating the East with distinguished
consideration it might be followed, and
nothing said that would offend then
sensitive nerves.

The Senate conference committee has
concluded to adopt the House resolutions
in regard to Cuta and it will report to
the Senate in favor of concurrence in
them. AS the House resolutions do not
differ very essentially from the Senate's
and as the latter were passed by an over
whelming msjority it is altogether
PROBABLE that the report IF the conference
committee will be adopted, though the
postponement of the matter until Mon.
day at the request of Senator Hale would
seem to indicate that the opposition are
not going to let them go through with
out protest. 1t is generally understood
that the President will treat the resolu
lions just as he did that in regard to Ar
menia, that is, ignore them entirely. This
he has perfectly legal right to do, ant
in all probability good many Congress
men who will vote for the resolutions real
u hope that they will receive that kind O.

one of the doughtiest champions. The
proposition, however, is little less than
an insult to every one of the possible can
didates of the Democracy. 1t assumes
that there ara Democrats so anxious for
the Democratic Presidential nomination
as to be willing to abdicate one OF the
most important duties of the office In ad-
vance. The Constitution makes the
President a part of the law making
power. 1t provides that his consent,
given directly by his signature or indf-
rectly by his silence, shall be essential
to constitute any act passed by Congress
a valid law. OF course the consent
meant is an intelligent consent con-
sent founded on approval of particular
acts. But Mr.. Vest uoolly asks the posi-
BILE candidates of the Democratic party to
agree in advance and as condition OF
their nomination to abdicate this power
and to be false to this duty. We have Is
better opinion of the Democratic party
that to believe any Of it's prominent men
ting to such humiliating condition as
Mr.. Vests proposition involves.
But perhaps all that Mr.. Vest is really
aiming at is to get in an indirect slap
at the President. Mr.. Cleveland has
stood in the way of the scheme of the sill
yer men of his party who were in the
majority, and his vetoes have brought
their plans to naught. His suggestion to
the national convention is perhaps simply
his way of telling Mr.. Cleveland what he
thinks of him and his acts. He probably
does not imagine for an instant that any
Democratic convention will ever adopt it
or that any Democratic candidate will
ever assent to it.
