RECIPROCITY WITH ITALY.

The Republican party is showing some
astuteneSs in meeting the popular discon-
tent with its protective policy by introduc-
ing Mr.. Blaines method of reciprocity. We
have under the Dinghy act made agree
ments with France and Germany which
give us better field than the other nations
trading with them. Now comes a new re-
ciprocai agreement with Italy, by which
the duties on brandies. wines, bermouth.

A LIFE SENTENCE.

The average man understands and ap-
preciates the desire to have q run for his
money! whether the end of the run is go
ing to be death or life, rather than a
Weakened servitude and hopeless captiv-
ity. because he fears the risk of escape
would be too great. Every forlcrn hope;
every strenuous endeavor: every pioneer
breaking into wilderness; all are express
sions of man to live his life out and exer-
else his energy to the full, though the
exercise expose him TO great risk. Now.
there has been going the rounds Of the
papers the account of an English officer
who was imprisoned by the Beers, and
who. though he was confined in large
house and yard, describes the terrible SEN
sation of having his liberty interfered
with and feeling that you cannot go
where you choose and when you chose. His
description will bring home to many that
the imprisonment, the depriving OF man
OF the right to live his life as he sees fit,
is terrible and fearful thing. And yet.
the tender-hearted people VINO take this
view will. without hesitation, pay their

About Birds.

| DR.. Twitehell has n long and able edi-
torial In recent number of the Maine
Farmer in which he deals some telling
blows to those who coDspire to cause the
slaughter OF the innocents, the destruc-
ton of birds from which we make some
brief extracts.
the enormous destruction of birds to
supply trimming for womens hats was
clearly shown at the fire recently IN a
factory at Wautagh, l.. L., when among
the property DESTROYED were 10000
stuffed seagulls, 10000 wings of other
birds, and 10000 heads of birds repre-
seuting varieties from the plumed birds
Of the South to the ordinary Long Island
crow.
"Women of America will you not call
halt in this wasteful, cruel, destructive
fashion? II you have no mercy or love
for the birds, at least have pity on the
farmers, whose crops are being devoured
yearly by hordes Of creeping, crawling
pests. Have pity on your own purses
for with the destruction of the crops,
provisions must rise. The failure of the
apple crop here in New England last
| year ought 10 serve as a lesson to bird
do, that the bird is already killed, and
what II | do buy Up Another one will
have to be killed to take its place. Be
merciful, be sensible, be economical, and
spare the BIRDS
"But the women are not wholly to
blame for the scarcity of the birds, al
though the sin Is more objectionable on
account of their somewhat undeserved
reputation for mercy. The heartless
boy with the gun, whose sole ambition
is to kill something, to destroy life. that
wonderful, incomprehensible thing which
no human power can restore, is respon-
sible for much of the destruction. 1t is
an education in cruelty to allow a boy TO
have the free use of a gun. Their savage
instincts need to be controlled rather
than fostered. My friend, the farmer, is
your boy spending his spare time pop
ping away at every bird which shows its
head in the orchard? Then the more in
sects for you to fight another summer.
The negligence of some fruit growers in
this respect is deplorable."
IA French naturalist asserts that if
the world should become birdless man
would not inhabit 1t after nine years,
in spite of all the sprays and poisons
that could be manufactured for the DE-
struction of insects. The bugs and slugs
would simply eat up our orchards and
crops"
There is no question about the magni-
tude of this evil, and of its deplorabe
consequences, present aud prospective
and we believe it of sufficient importance
to our State to require legislation. Why
would it not be good thing to put 8
legal close time on the hooting or cap
ture of birds, of 5 years duration oil
longer if necessary, with reasonable fines
for violation of the law imposing it?
The protection of fish and game ii
Maine has been the policy of our State
for many years and this protection
should be made to cover birds. Why not

Not for High License.

Some weeks ago 1t was given out with
something in the way of ecat, that an
association of temperance workers had
been organized in Bangor in the interest
of a license law, and in opposition to
prohibition. This now appears not to
have been the fact. An organization of
temperance workers in Maine whosC
object is to establish high license and
break down prohibition would indeed be
an anomaly. 1t will not be seen in this
generation.
The following appears in the Bangor
Commercial of Saturday last:
To the Editor of Commercial:
The Independent Temperance society
of Bangor, organic Jan. Is, 1900, and
holding meetings every Sunday in Red
Mems hall, at l2l Main street. is in q
prosperous condition. The interest il
this society seems to increase. The meet
Jugs are very highly spoken of by all
who attend them. Their sole object is
to do individual temperance work; tc
rescue the young man or the young won.

ing drink.
1t has been said by some of the TEN
perance people of Bangor that our object
is high license. This is absolutely un.
true. Our constitution will be published
through this paper, March 81; then the
public will have chance to Judge fol
themselves whether it is high license OF
the common cause of humanity that We
are working for.
