To Protect the GulIs and Terms.

In most of its aspects the growing feeling
against the slaughter of birds for millinery
purposes is based upon a sentimental re-
gard for the songsters and the brightly
plumaged occupants Of the air and the trees
But there is strictly practical phase of
the matter which requires serious consider
alton by legislators and administrators.
Many birds are being killed which destroy
insect pests and thus friends of the
farmer. 1t also appears through an appeal
just issued by the American OrnithOiogists'
Union that the indiscriminate slaughter of
birds may have direct effect for evil upon
the public health In the sea-coast cities 1t
is well known that the gulis and terms
which flock in great numbers around har-
bors feed largely upon the refuse which is
dumped into the sea. 1t is estimated that
the larger portion Of the floating garbage
of the city of New York, for instance,
which is carried out to sea and thrown
overheard. is eaten by these birds 1t
would otherwise be swept by the waves to
the beaches and there tester In the sun and
become a nuisance and perhaps a menace
Indeed as long as this filthy method Of dis
posing of the garbage and other refuse Is

The letter of Speaker Henderson of the
National House of Representatives to
Marshal Knott of the northern district
Of Iowa on the subject of the Porto
Ricau tariff is an interesting. but not
convincing contribution to the discussion.
IL was the lower branch of the Iowa legis-
Iature. overwhelmingly republican, which
presumed few days ago to understand the
Porto Rican question. and, while laboring
under that delusion, to pass unanimously
"A resolution condemning the tariff measure.
This action Speaker Henderson gently but
firmly rebukes. and intimates pretty broad
ly that if his friends at home had known
what they were doing they would not have
made sad an exhibition of themselves.
But Speaker Henderson, 1t may be said
with all due respect, throws no light on
the subject which shows that the Iowans.
In Iowa. are misled. He still talks about
an emergency in the matter of revenue for
Porto Rico. when an emergency no longer
exists He asserts that the trusts are
fighting for free trade with Porto Rico in
the face Of the fact that the sugar growers
and the tobacco growers of the United
States. under the leadership OF Henry Ok
nard. a trust representative. are the real
authors of the tariff bill. Speaker Hender-
snn at the outset stood with the President.
lie was Tor free trade with Porto Rico.
And but for that sudden whirl about on
the part of the ways and means committee
Of the House he would be in favor of free
trade now.
Speaker Henderson says that the Senate
has Its share of towards. That may be
true. But, about this business, who are
the towards? To whom does he refer?
Certainly not to those republican senators
who are championlng free trade with Porto
Rico. There is no cowardice either in their
attitude or deliverances. They are out in
the open, making their fight with courage
and stating their case with logical and ire
si~tible force And it so happens that one
Of them, from Speaker Hendersons own
neck of woods in the northwest, spoke on
the subject yesterday. Could anything be
stronger than the way in which Mr.. Davis
Of Minnesota presents the free trade side
Of the controversy? Could anything be
franker or holder? He does not trim or
shuttle in an effort to protect the blunder
made by the House majority. but insists
"u free trade. because. he believes, it is
right and just and the best policy.
Kill the tariff bill. That is demanded by
every consideration of good faith, good
business principles and good politics. Then
let the men who drew the bill. and forced
it with party pressure through the House,
explain matters as best they may to their
constituencies.

maintained by the coast cities the gulls and
terms constitute virtually the only protec-
ton against the diseases likely to result from
these beach Accommodations. 1t seems that
the feather hunters have for several years
made a regular practice of killing these
birds in large numbers for their plumage,
which is highly priced by milliners. until
there is serious danger of their extermina-
ton. They establish breeding places, being
communistic birds. and are therefore easy
of capture and slaughter, and it is estimat-
ed that it will require only few more sea-
sons of killing at these places to practical
ly depopulate the coasts of these beautiful,
helpful birds. The Ornithologists' Union
appeals for money to enforce the laws in
the states where now statutes exist and for
conducting a campaign to secure uniform
laws along the entire length of the coast, at
least to permit the annual breeding of the
birds, thus preventing their utter extermi-
nation. The places to be specially protected
are certain islands on the coast of Maine,
Long Island, New Jersey. Maryland and
perhaps Florida and Virginia This appeal
of the Union, whose headquarters are in
New York city, will doubtless result in a
vigorous effort to secure the needed funds,
not only on the part of those who love
birds for the sake of their picturcsqueness
and their songs, the sentimental believers
in the reform, but those who see the sani-
tary value of these particular birds, the
scavengers of the coasts.

pect in the abstract for Americans, for il
Is by no means gratifying to a republic to
witness the collapse of governments
founded upon similar lines. Yet an init
mate inspection Of the TransvaaI organiza-
ton brings the inquirer to no other conclu-
sion than that the South African Republic
has developed into virtual oligarchy and
has lost of late years all the essential char
acteristics of republic. The repeated ele-
walton of one man to the highest power the
gradual concentration of authority into
few hands, regularly re-chosen by re-
stricted form of suffrage. the laying of
heavy burdens upon foreigners and the in
terpostion of barriers between them and
citizenship have resulted in the growth of
system which smacks far more of a king
dom than a government by the people.
This Is not true in the Free State to the
same extent. But it stands to reason that
the Free State. having cast its fortunes in
the with the Transvaal must be
treated similarly by England in whatever
adjustment is finally reached. To absorb
the South African Republic and leave the
Free State Independent after desperate
a participation in the campaign would af-
ford meeting place and a refuge for the
discontinued Beers and ensure a neighbor
that would be constant menace to the
peace of the continent Had the Free State,
held aloof from the war and maintained
an honest neutrality 1t would today he in
position to preserve its independence. re-
spected by England and possibly assured
of more prosperous future than before.
But. looking at the case for the moment
from the English point of view, it is inn
possible to arrive at any other conclusion
than that if England would have peace in
the years to come she must assume at least
a suzerainty over these countries capable
of no future question and enforceable at a
far less cost in blood and treasure than it
has cost her in this enterprise to assert her
dominance in South Africa.

apologies satisfactory to the State Depart
