SERVES THEM RIGHT.

Mr.. Towne has been beaten for Con
press in Minnesota and the Minnesota
farmer is selling his wheat for about
60 cents per buseel. The Minnesota
farmer averages about fifteen bushels
Of wheat to the acre. At 50 cents that
gives him s. so per acre or $3.50 Tor
100 acres That means what he OBJ
tains by working hard. by having his
wife and children work hard, with
Door clothes and board, hat possibly
for himself and his family. provided
they do all the work, perhaps they
may get IS cents per day for their la
Dor. Their co'lfort is in thinking how
much better off they are than the poor
poems of Mexico. and. filed with that
thought, they 60 to the polls and vote
down a man like c. A. Towne for
Congress.
Our judgement is that they deserve
to work and to have nothing to th'
end of their useful days. Our judge
ment is that they 90 not deserve
citizenship in the United States; tina
they should be disfranchise on th'
score Of utter imbec,lity. They re
ceived a little better price last yea
because the outside world was starV
ing. That fixed the business. Tha
was enough for them. That was cor
elusive proof hat the price Of s'lvs
had nothing to do with the price {
wheat because first. the Pioneer Pre-:
had told them SO, and, second. h.

Slaughter of Song Birds to Satisfy
Fashionable Ladies Blamed.

President Randall has introduced
in the Senate a bill to protect song
BIRDS. In Connection with this bill
Mr.. Randall says:
cit is quite remarkable that at
present there is no general law in
Maryland to protect from destruc
ton any insectivorous bird, COM
monty so-called, except the Balti-
more oriole."
There are some local laws that
afford partial protection, but it is a
matter of common observation that
year by year in most parts of the
State the song birds and all native
birds are slowly but surely disap-
pearing. In many parts of the
State the woods are already silent,
and if something in the way of
stringent legislation to stop this
massacre of the innocents is not
soon effected our birds will soon be
as extinct as their antediluvian
predecessors.
There is no doubt that the mod
ern craze for adjoining ladies' bon
nets and hats with the bodies and
plumage of birds has immensely
accelerated their destruction. A
writer in the New York Tribune in
March, 1897, said:
cit is proved that in England
alone between twenty five million
and thirty million birds are i'm
ported yearly, and that for Europe
the number reaches one hundred
and fifty Millions" The writer, a
woman by the way, says that if the
ladies would stop to think about it,
they must find themselves worse
than the Indians, Efor they wore
the scalps of their enemies, think
ing it no harm, while women today
decorate their heads with the bodies
of their friends" The Hartford
Courant recently stated that one
million bobolinks alone were killed
in a single year for such decoration,
and and added: "Dacidedly it takes
too much shine and melody out of
the world, not overstocked with
them, to silence one million of these
insouciant, confident little threats
in one year."
The Audubon Societies are doing
good work in calling public atten-
tion to this matter, and it is hoped
that the Legislature will aid their
efforts by passing some such law as
this.-Balto. Sun.

Good Roads.

A committee appointed by a road
convention held in Annapolis met
in Baltimore yesterday to prepare
a bill to present to the Legislature
for State system of road improve
ment. The committee was com
posed of Van Brant Rittenhouse, OF
Baltimore county; Jos. L. Haines,
of Carroll; Henry w. Williams, OF
Baltimore; John G. Rogers, OF
Howard; Q. j. Morris, of Charles;
James p Bannon, of Anne Arun-
del; A. M. Stabler, of Washington
county.
Cecil county was not represented
in that convention nor were any of
the Eastern Shore counties. Our
aimless methods of taking care of
public roads has thrown away at a
liberal estimate probably 100000
in the last twenty years. The road
repairs are nearly all temporary
and disappear in the same year
they are made.

Our Social system.

The following notice is the obit-
uary of an unknown tramp that
will stand for thousands. 1t is a
life that no human being would
voluntarily choose. The tramp is
an element in American society
that did not exist till the gold Jew
was given domination over the
greenback. The tramp, the farm
mortgage, the public debt, the fall
in price of property, the anxiety
and fear of future want that ten
hundred thousand of the best people
of the land stand in dread of facing
and the "gold Standard" all made
their appearance together, and ale
children of the same parent:
"On Saturday morning the re-
mains of an unknown white man
were found on the P, w. & B.
bridge over the Susquehanna.
There was nothing by which he
could be identified and it is sup
posed he was tramp, who while
riding on freight train fell and
met his death. The remains were
terribly mangled and it is thought
several trains must have passed
over them. The remains were
buried along the river shore"
