For several years past. Jos. B. Livezey
has been anxious to have colony of mar
tins build upon his premises Three years
ago this month pair of them came and
inspected q wren box, but finding it too
small for their use departed. This gave
him an idea, why not build them a large
house, one more suitable for their needs.
This idea developed into house, which he
put upon the end of pole in his yard. The
next year they again came, but were not
yet satisfied. So thinking possibly that
the pole should be higher he procured one
about twenty-five feet high. upon which he
placed the house, containing apartments
for several families, but the sparrows took
possession, and as the two families can't
agree, the next question was how to get rid
OF them and keep them out. As the pole
is tall and slender he watched until he saw
Mrs Sparrow in her apartments, then he
took an axe and striking the base of the
pole with such blow that Mrs. Sparrow
was glad enough to leave and seek new
place of abode. For days PAIR of martins
few over the house and seemed to be
thoroughly examining it, but at last they
and another pair have taken possession, and
seem to be starting housekeeping in con-
tentment. They are of dark slate color
with white breasts. Their note is more of
whistle and chatter than song, with
certain amount of depth and softness in it,
though it might be thought by some harsh.
They live principally on insects and are
perhaps a little larger than q robin.

and named their candidates the national com
mlLttee OF the Gold Democrats will assemble at
indianapolis and in the light Of officially prom
ulg3teo political determinations line out 8
pollcy OF It's own. Philadelphia Record.
The Record is most apt in the use OF
the personal pronoun singular in appIica-
tion to the policy of the National Com
mittee Of the Gold Democracy Tor there
is no Gold Democratic party in this cam
palgn, nor can there be. There are the
remains of an organization of so-calIed
Gold Democrats which existed four years
ago, mainly on funds furnished by the
Republican National Committee. And
while the necessities of the Republican
Committee to foment Democratic dissension
remain, the issue on which they were
framed 90 longer exists. Nor can it be
revived by any extinct National Committee
OF non-existent party. The contest this
year will be a straight issue between the
nominees of the Democratic and Republi-
can Conventions, and the great body OF
the people will vote for one or the other,
directly and positively.
True American, Gold Dem.
We congratulate the True american on
the elearness of its vision, in advance o,
the Record. The real purpose of the So
called independent Democratic organiza-
ton is too tran parent to mislead men OF
ordinary sense, aud the Record and other
OF Hanna's hirelings will fail 10 their
attempt to cloud the political atmosphere
this year Even those who run under
stand the issues now.

Philippines is illustrated by the official
figures of the exports to those islands for
the ten months ending with April. The
total value was $2,132,944 This is about
what one big ship takes from New York
to Europe every week. of this little total
SAL, $50 was in horses and mules for our
own army. $2300OO in fodder for them,
$4,000 in beer and $4,000 in whisky

trade, when the cost of maintaining the
army there alone is $4,000 600 year?

The administration is worrying over the
news from China. The revolution of the
Boxers" threatens to expose Mr. McKin-
ley's Imperialistic program concerning
China in advance of the Presidential
election, which is just what he was anxious
to avoid. In their anxiety TO allay public
suspicion at home, members of the admin
istration have been doing some word
juggling that would be amusing if the
matters involved were not too serious to
laugh about For instance, official state
ments to the press from the State Depart
ment have emphasized the alleged instruc-
tions to our Minister at Pekin, and to Rear
Admiral Kempf, our Naval Commander in
Chinese waters. to act in concert with
European powers for the protection of
foreigners and their property but not to
join combination of the powers for any
purpose. Our representatives over there
must be clever indeed if they can act in
concert with the European powers without
combining with them.

Secretary Long has advertised for bids

under the cowardIy law forced through
Congress the last thing before adjourn
ment. making Mr.. Long do what the
Republicans Of Congress were ashamed
to dO-agree to the price of armor set
by the armor trust, which will necessarily
be the only bidder to respond to the
advertisement. True. the law gives Mr.
LING authority to reject the bids if he
considers the price too high, and to use
the 100000 carried by the act, for the
establishment of government plant to
make armor plate. but if he acted upon
that authority, the Republican leaders
who engineered the cowsrdly make-shift
would throw few fits; they are figuring
on heavy campaign contribution from the
armor trust.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

The man who pardons easily courts
injury.
To see what is right and not to do
it, is want of courage.
pray; prosperity never.
The superior man has dignlfied ease
without pride; the mean man has
pride without dignified ease.
See what man does, mark his mo-
tive, examine in what he rests; how
can man conceal his character?
When you know a thing, to hold
that you know it, and when you do
no know a thing, to allow that you do
not know it-this is knowledge.
What is the good of being ready
with the tongue? They who meet
men with smartness of speech for the
most part procure themselves hatred.
Teach more self-denial and make its
practice pleasurable, and you create
for the world destiny more sublime
than ever issued from the brain of
the widest dreamer.
A moral young mans characters
ties are honesty of speech, respectable
lity of carriage. industry of mind and
consideration for others. With these
young man is as "model' as it Is
given for an earthly being to be.
The most vindictive people are those
who have brought upon themselves the
injury of which they complain. a
drunkard who has exhausted the
patience of his relatives during long
years of indulgence, instead of re-
membering their innumerable kind
nesses, turns upon them when they
put him under restraint.
