Not Confined to One Party.
Minneapolis Tribune.


Speaking of the trust question, ex-Sen-
ator Edmunds says rs many democrats
as republicans are to be found among
the managers and owners of trusts. and
that taking all the persons in the large
cities worth 100000 or $500,000, you
will find as many democrats as repubii-
cans" Tfis by way of dlsputing Mr..
Bryan's assertion that the democratic
party is especially the champion of the
man against the dollar. And Senator
Edmunds might have added that the
democrats are a little bit ahead in the
trust business by the recent revelations
concerning the ice trust in which "Boss"
Croker and Mayor Van WICK are among
the principal stockholders, and in which
the whole Tammany following was large
ly interested.

CITY COUNCILS
FINANCES.
Balance in Bank is Low,
but the Collections Are
Reported Good.

According to the last report Of
the city treasurer the balance in
bank is but 1855. 81. This appears
small, but it is stated collections
are good. The collectors now aver
age $1,000 a week. Two weeks re-
main and in this time the COL
lections will reach $4,000. There
will be about $1,000 in bills to be
paid, which will leave $4,000.
Taking the $1,000 from the
$40, 900. which Council borrowed to
tide it over the present fiscal year
will leave a net deficit Of $4,000.
Of this amount $40, 900 is for bonds
which the highest bidder refused
| to take and which were paid for
out of the current expense fund of
the city, leaving the actual deficit
$11, 200. OF this sum $4,000 was a
legacy from the last fiscal year.
To this, however, must be added
the SIS, 900 advanced by the Water
Department, so that the real de-
felt is $50, 1000, without the bonds,
of So, 900 with the bonds.
Members of Council feel confident
that should the back taxes fail to
pay the entire amount the Legisla-
ture will allow a new bond issue
to take the place ofthe bonds which
were issued and were not taken.
This leaves $50, 600 to be provided
for out of next years receipts. 1t
is possible, however, that the en-
tire deficit may be provided for
with a bond issue it the Legisla.
ture will allow. Members of Coun-
cil' are still sanguine that the call
culatlons made for the coming fiscal
year will hold good and there will
be no trouble in providing for the
necessary expenses 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the present
Council will either make record
as remarkable financiers or the
city will be in the worst financial
hole it was ever in, at the end of
the next fiscal year. Just now
there is speculation as to which it
will be.

A Word for tho Sparrow.

Why should the English sparrow be
considered such a pest? Any one that
takes the trouble to study their habits,
will see that much that has been said
about them is untrue. They are not
so Quarrelsome as the petted canaryI
and much less greedy. They are con-
siderate of their fellows, and ready to
help them when in trouble. And they
are so cheerful and active-always on
the alert, no matter how gloomy the
day-that a group of the bright-eyed,
chattering things is practical illus
tration of the beauties of contentment,
Sparrows should be protected, not only
for the good they do. but for the
pleasure they bring even to the slums
of great cities, enlivening even the gar
rets of the sick with their gentle CHR
rup. They are undoubtedly the scaven-
gers of cities. clearing away waste
from every corner. and they have
brought soft and loving feelings to the
heart OF the toughest prisoner, who
from his stinted pittance of bread and
water will save no small share for the
sparrows at his window grating. They
are the best of insect destroyers; they
have attached themselves to man
most confidingly; they are beings with
flesh and blood and brains, and most
affectionate In their own way to those
that love and care for them. Therefore
let us care for and protect them In
summer as we'll as in winter. For as
though the farmers may have good rea-
son to object to their presence about
their grain stacks, there are many rea-
sons for encouraging them to thrive
in our cities.

The Captive Thrush.

One day Lochaber lad caught a
thrush and took it home. No cage was
to be had. SO the bird was placed in
basket with lid. The boys mother
having told the Rev. DR.. Stewart OF
the capture, the minister naturalist
we'll known throughout the Western
Highlands of Scotland-came to see the
bird. Whilst they were all talking
about the prisoner, the lad spied a
similar bird on an elder bush, and DR.
Stewart at once noticed that this was
the captives mate. He persuaded the
boy to put the basket outside. This
was done, and by-and-by the male bird
flew down and began caressing the
prisoner in many pretty ways. Then
he attacked the basket lid furiously
hoping to peck hole in it big enough
for his consort to escape by. This SC
touched the boys mother and even
the boy, that the latter agreed to let
the captive free. Taking the basket
back to the spot where the thrush had
been caught, the lid was opened ant
the bird flew off with wild scream OF
joy. its mate joining it in the wood

than kings.

Sleeves Plain and Fancy.

Most sleeves are as severe in out
line and as devoid OF fulness as the
sleeves of mans coat. To those
whose arms will not bear such class
tcal outline, however, some latitude is
allowed; two small capes often spring
from the shoulder line, and a pretty
sleeve has the material carried up to
within couple of inches of the seam,
when it is stopped short with some
times a row of stitching, sometimes
tl,a raw edge left, to show putting or
stutbing of silk or velvet. This gives
tFsnlth across the chest, which is
nAtessary to some figures. Another
variation of the sleeve modish has n
slashing righS down the outside arm
TO the elbow or wrist, laced across
with cords to show an insertion of
silk underneath. One pretty sleeve
in tailormade gown was button
holed and buttoned from shoulder to
wrist, forty buttons and buttonholes
in all, an endless labor, but it seemed
perfectly fitting sleeve on a we'll
modelled arm.

Of the new Constitution.
That instrument provides that Of

The Benefits of Early Rising.

1t was once laid down by a cele-
brated writer and, historian that the
difference between rising at and in
the morning for the space OF forty
years. supposing a man to go to bed
at the same hour every night, is nearly
equivalent to the addition of ten years
to the life. This consideration should
carry very great weight and be suffi-
'cient to induce those who have not
hitherto practiced this habit to COM
mence to do SO, more especially the
people who are always complaining
that life is not long enough for them to
transact all the work that they have
to perform. There is much founda-
tion for their complaint II they persist
in wasting so many valuable hours OF
the day in bed. The advantages and
benefits OF early rising cannot be over
estimated; in the early hours of the
morning the brain is clearer and more
ready for work. and after a night'a
sleep we should be ready to attack the
Sork of the day.
