A SparroW Prfma Donna.

NJ. Mingaud, a naturalist of Mines,
France, gives, in La Revue Scientifque,
an interesting account Of the musical
accomplishments of a sparrow in his
collection of living birds. He captured
the sparrow soon after it had been
Matched and fed it by hand until it
could care for itself. Then he placed it
in a cage containing a chafinch, a gold
finch and two canaries. After "A time
the sparrow learned to MARBLE like the
finches and to trill like the canaries, the
limitations being SO perfect as to deceive
the ear. In spring NJ. Mingaud is ac-
customed to keep a box Of crickets near
his birdcages. Two days after the
crickets had been placed near the cage
containing the sparrow the latter began
to initiate their cry, intermingling it
with its songs. Even after the crickets
had long been dead the sparrow remem
bred it's lesson and continued to repeat
their cry. None of the other birds at
tempted to initiate the crickets. Singu-
larly enough, the sparrow w utters
the peculiar squalling cry of its own
species, having been removed from its
nest too early, apparently, to have
learned it.

Must Have Been Very Bad.

In this day of slang and slipshod
English it is quite refreshing to find one
home in which our mother tongue is ap-
preciated and sins against its purity
duly resented.
That there is at least one such was
made evident in a quarrel which took
place in a literary household between
the two youngest inmates-a quarrel.
like most childish differences, soon
over, but fierce while it lasted.
When his wrath had reached its
height, the small son Of the house,
quivering with anger, sought for Ian
guage to d%enounce his sister, who had
been the aggressor.
"You bad" he burst forth, stamping
a stubby shoe; ''you bad, you bad''-
Words failed him. Then with a fash
of truly literary inspiration he conclud-

Kinley's election possible? Had not he and his fix supported Mckinley, either directly or indirectly, in the last campaign, the appointment of q negro postmaster for Pine Bluff would not now be possible, and the white people of this community would not be subjected to the prob able humiliation of having a Repub. lican negro postmaster.
 This plea for the .'Anglo,Saxon manhood and womanhcod of Pine Bluff" on the part of the editor of the Press Eogie is very inconsistent if not insIneere, or else why do we find in his issue of October the 18th this statement
 "If the committee deem It best for party considerations. to recommend that negro be appointed postmaster of this city, why not endorse n clean and capable negro llke Prof | II. Gorbin, or Alex Moon or James Jones"
 This shows that it is not ques- tion of standing up for the An glo- Saxon manhood and womanhood of Pine Bluff, for it is not a question of color with our common scoId, ' but merely question of men. In oth CT words, the wrong nigger is in the woodpile It would require Q won derful amount of nice discrimination to discover the ma tive and relative merits of Jim Jones, Q negro saloon keeper notoriously incompetent to lll any public position, over Ferd Havis for postmaster at Pine Bluff. If its 8 question of "niggers with our Boltoeratie contemporary, we will vouchsafe it the information that Jim Jones would be no more acceptable to the 9Anglo.Saxon'. race of Pine Bluff than Ferd Hayis.
 As to the GRAPHIC, not being in any wise responsible for the present existing condition, we are prepared to witness the postoffce fight among the Boltocrats aad Republicans with serene composure. Tt is none of our fight, and the devil may take the hindmost. Whether Ferd Ha- wis, Jim Jones or somebody else gets the postofice appointment, the GRAPHIC will continue business at the same old stand and receive it's mail with accustomed regularity.

THE TARIFF BILL ABOUT READY.

The election returns last fall showed a
large majority Of Republican Congress-
men, with many new men in place Of re-
tired Democrats. 1t 80 happened that
Messrs. Dingley, Henderson, Payne,
Grosvenor and other members of the
Committee on Ways and Means of the
last House were reelected and are now
members of the present House; and Mr..
Speaker Reed was expected to succeed
himself and to keep his old committees,
as nearly as practicable, the same as
they had been appointed at the begin
ming of the Fifty fourth Congress. So it
was arranged that work on the proposed
new tariff bill should be begun during
the holidays last winter, that it might be
ready for the extra session which it was
made known would be called in the
spring. The new bill is now nearly if
not quite ready for the House. Three
weeks, probably, after its introduction,
will be allowed for discussion of the bill
In that body, when it will be passed
under operation Of the previous ques-
tion. 1t will then 20 to the Senate,
where the previous question was sbol-
ished hundred years ago. The debate
there may continue two months-as long
as any member insists on further debate.
Then it will go to the House for action
on Senate amendments. Some time the
bill will become lsw-probsbly by July
next, that it's provisions may take effect
at the beginning Of the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1898.

that direction. Aud now, that the new
administration is in power, the first step
taken is to request Spain to expel Amer
leans from the island, rather than to I'M
prison them, when Objectionable because
Of having aided the rebellion. The Sec
ond step was to inform Consul General
Lee that he would beexpected to remain
at his post; and the third move was, to
inform General Lee that the government
Of the United States would protect him
and stand by him in all reasonable re-
quests and demands.
This is manly position for the admin
istration to take. It will operate as q
safety valve and afford breathing time
while negotiations proceed. The Presi-
dent will probably insist strenuonsly
upon this course, and it may lead to q
proposition from Spain to acknowledge
the independence Of Cuba on condition
that the new government assume the
payment Of debts due on account OF the
island.

McKINLEY'S CUBAN POLICY.

AS far as can be judged from what has
already occurred, it is probable that the
Presidents treatment Of the Cuban
question will be somewhat different from
that OF his predecessor, but the change
will hardly have an effect, in the end,
materially different from that Of Presi-
dent Cleveland. Senator Sherman was
active and earnest in bis denunciation Of
alleged Cuban outrsges, and favored &C
cording belligerent rights to the revolu-
tionists; but as soon as he was invited to
a place in the Cabinet, no 90 greatly

REORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED STATES
SENATE,

It Is doubtful whether there will be
any reorganization OF the Senate during
the life Of the Fifty fifth Congress, which
will expire March 4, 1899. The reason
is, that no party has majority Of the
members Of that body. 1t is understood
that satisfactory arrangement has been
concluded among the Senators Of all
parties that the present organization
shall remain until the oonvening Of the
regular session next December. In the
meantime, the persons appointed by
Governors Of States whose Legislatures
failed to choose Senators at their late
sessions, may claim admission, and if
their claims are rejected, there can be no
reorganization during the next two years.
II will be remembered that four years
ago Messrs. Mantle Of Montana and
Clark Of Wyoming claimed seats in the
Senate on credentials showing that they
had been appointed by the Governors Of
their respective States. 1t appeared, ON
investigation, that the terms Of Senator'S
from those States had expired by conati-
tutional Limitation the 4th Of March pre-
ceding, ana that the Legislatures whose
duty it was 70 choose their Successors
had failed TO do 30, end the Governor

The contrast between the personal
characteristics Of President Mckinley
and those Of his immediate predecessor
is seen in the way they handle applicants
for Office and in their treatment Of the
Cuban question. Cleveland is austere
and obstinate, while Mckinley is good
natured and patient.

completion for the inaugural ball per-

four years is about $65, 900, as reported
to Congress four years ago. The recent
