If the Democratic party is to be committed
indefinitely to the ideas which have their
strongest hold upon such states as Missis-

A Day for Birds.

Bird lovers and Band of Mercy children
had reason to rejoice Friday when the house
passed the bill authorizing the governor to
designate day to be known as Arbor and
Bird day.
AS T. S. Palmer points out in the Con-
sentative the object of the day 'is to diff
fuse knowledge concerning native birds
and to arouse more general interest in bird
protection. AS such it should appeal not
only to ornithologsts, sportsmen and farm
ers, who have a practical interest in the
preservation OF birds, but also the general
public who would appreciate the loss

bird day is more than a suggestion" con-
tinues Mr. Palmer at has been already
adopted in at least two cities with marked
success, but as yet it is still an experiment.
Apparently the idea originated with Prof.
C. A. Babcock superintendent of schools III
Oil City. Pa, who wrote to the department
of agriculture in 1894 of which ]. Sterling
Morton was secretary, urging the establish
ment OF such a day, and stating that May 4
would be observed as Bird day in Oil City.
In reply the secretary of agriculture wrote,
among other things:
"'Your proposition to establish a Bird
day on the same general plan as Arbor day

the determination of some of the rarer spe-

hardly less widespread and destructive.
Birds are of inestimable value to man
kind. Without their unremitting services our
gardens and fields would be laid waste by
insect pests.
"Of the success of this first experiment.
there be no question. The day was OBJ
served in the Oil City schools with de-
gree of enthusiasm which was good to see.
The amount of information about birds THAI
was collected by the children was simply
amazing. Original compositions were read
iDfol NAL discussions were held. ia k5 by teach
were given and the birds in literaturs
were not forgotten overlooked.
The idea simply needs to be known to meet
with a welcome akin to that with
which we greet our first robin or song SPAR
row in the spring.
Last spring 1885, the movement was
started in Iowa by Prof. c. II. Merrill super
intendent of schools at Fort Madison who
was apparently unaware of the experiment
in Pennsylvania. He set apart May %, 1896,
as Bird day in the schools under his jurisdic-
ton"
The department has also received inquiries
concerning Bird day from Connecticut and
the matter is attracting attentionin Nebraska.
1t will now be in order for the secretary
of agriculture to include Minnesota among
the avowed friends of birds.

NO INYESTIG ALTON.
RAILWAY MATTER WILL NOT BE
LAID OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
CITY HAS NO JURISDICTION
City ATTORNEY Bohmrich says that no
Charges have Been Made by the Coun
Gil and the Council can Only Inves
tigate Its own Work.

There will be no investigation of the
bribery charges brought against ex-
Mayor Petit, eX-Aldermen G.. III,
Gonnermann, d. F. Brister and Joseph
Berns and Aid. Ernst FRANKIE, under
the direction of the Council as the city
attorney has announced his opinion
that the city has no jurisdiction in the
matter.
According to the opinion which wiz
be presented to the Council in regard
to the matter the city attorney holds
that the Council has no right to order
an investigation of anything that is not
a part of the business of the Council,
He said that although the Council had
been the place where the trouble
started no charges had been made
against the men by the Council or any
of the aldermen, ana for this reason
the investigation, if it was conducted
must be conducted otherwise than By
the Council.
In speaking of the propositions re-
Gently made by the ex-alderman for an
investigation, the attorney for the city
seems to regard the proposition in aD
unfavorable light They claim tha5 the
ex-alderman has no right to ask an
investigation from the city under the
conditions laid down in his communi-
cation to the Council. They claim that
Mr.. Gonnermann mas precluded
proper inyestign ton by the conditions
which he placed in connection with the
proposition. He would not only ask
that he be tried, but he also demands
that he be allowed to designate the
men by whom and the manner in which
the investigation shall be conducted.
The fact that the railway company
has decided to push the two suits
against the city max es the investigation
of the an unnecessary expense, as all
the evidence which would be brought
before the committee will be brought
before the court in the trial of the gases
which will probably come up at the
June term.
In regard to the men accused OF
bribery and conspiracy having any
right to demand any recourse from the
city the city attorney says that the
answer made to the suits, whether ali
the allegations can be proved or not,
would not in any way make the city
liable as the law grants great many
liberties to the attorney in making
answers to such cases.
