In the western hemisphere the
slaughter of birds has been tremen-
dous, and in this country it has almost
annihilated some varieties, and the eff
feet is felt by farmers in some states
in the increase of injurious insects,
which the birds used to eat. The fem
mime pride of ornament has wrought
a fearful work. and 1t Is gratifying to
see that the movement to prevent this
wholesale destruction of birds is large
ly pushed by women. who see the folly
Of annihilating them for hat feathers.

An English trade journal thus re-

French wheat fields promise well, it is
feared they are affected by rankness

moles, which is spreading over the vast
plains of the Leytha and Danube. The
news from Russia is satisfactory, so
far as the Azima wheat of 1898 is con-

Y THEIR FRUITS.
THE WAY TO JUDGE PUBLIC
OFFICIALS,
Eusloo Omcials Have Justified Their Sclec-
ton and Proven False the Cry that their
Success Meant Desertlon of State Credit

The advocates of free and unlimited
coinage of silver in Nebraska are fully
alive to the substantial benefits to be
derived from cooperation in the polit-
ical campaign this fall. We are aware
OF the fact that many look on fusion
with suspicion, Notwithstanding that
by this union there has come to our
glorious state results little short of
marvellous. Under the officials placed
in charge of the state by fusion votes
Nebraska is today enjoying the best
and most economical government it
has ever had. The interests of the
people have been more closely looked
after and guarded than they were un-
der republican misrule. Corporations
are being made to bear their propor-
ton OF the burden of taxation and
have been compelled to recognize the
majesty of the laws of the state the
same as ordinary mortals have to do.
State warrants, which under a repub-
lican administration were down to %
and "a cents trying hard not to drop
clear out of sight, have. under the wise
handling Of the public funds by Treas
urer Meserve, been brought up to par
and better. The accomplishing Of
this feat alone stamps John Il. Me-
serve as safe individual and the prop
er person to handle our money. The
warrant incident, however, is not the
only one by which the people may
judge TREASURER Meserve's fitness for
the position he occupies. He has so
handled the state funds entrusted to
his care that he is not afraid to make
public the condition of the treasury at
any time. His labors in behalf of the
school fund of the state commend him
to the people, and his determination
that interest bearing obligations should
not remain outstanding so long as a
dollar remained in the treasury with
which to pay 1t has resulted in decreas-
ing the states indebtedness over half q
million dollars and effected saving
in interest charges alone Of something
over $35. 900. The magnificent record
made by Treasurer Meserve is suffi-
cient in itself to commend the reform
forces to the most distinguished

But there are others who have. in
the administration Of their Office, helped
to give the lie to the assertion that
the success Of the fusion ticket meant
destruction Of state credit.
Governor Holcomb has fought for
tho investment of the permanent
school fund ever since his first election
and Just recently he had the pleasure
Of seeing almost all Of it invested in
interest bearing securities. This in

A small Blaze

At lI:I5 Saturday night fire was dis
covered issuing from the roof of Tom
Compton's building on Pearl street, oc-
cupied by E. V. Bedtord's butcher shop
and Fred Mitchell's assay office. The
prompt response OF the d, partment to
the alarm and the departments splendid
work after Its arrival checked the fire
before great deal of damage was done.
The origin of the fire is believed to have
been Mitchells assay furnace which was
butt recently. The furnace was closely
surrounded by woodwork and proper
ventilation was lacking. The principal
loss was on the building though Bedford
and Mitchell each sustained some loss
from water. Bedford's loss is covered
by insurance. On the west side Frey's
building was slightly injured, but was
fully covered by insurance. The total
loss will probably not exceed $500.
