rotism' who writes to The Star a quiet
rural retreat-in the vicinity of Congress
Heights, for instance He or she will
find there good physicians and nurses
for the treatment and cure Of nervousness,
and although hydrophobia and smallpox
occasionally cause a scare, this new dis
ease of "parrotism' may be something
more serious and require prompt attention
to prevent serious results. To invoke the
aid Of q newspaper so dignif1ed in charac-

against parrots is silly and disgusting

suggested, namely, that the names and res
licences of all owners of the Objectionable
bird in question shall be published by The
Star for the benefit Of parrot haters. in
order that they 0he parrot haters) may

From this howl Of complaint one would
imagine Washington city is infested with
parrots to q greater extent than the de-
spised English sparrow, when in truth
there are comparatively few pet parrots.

to govern the city and restrict the rights

From the DuiutI .ra Tribune:
THE PARK SCHEME IS DEAD.

The meeting of the Economic
league at Y. Nj. G. A. hall las
night must be held to have add
ed the cap sheaf to the proc
that this city is unanimously op
posed to the national parL
scheme. There was little doub
of it before. Emissaries of the
project have come t. Duluth
again and again, in tue course
of the last four months. They
have run to and , I'll hiv e
done much speaking III public
and much buttonholing in pri-
vate. They have burdened the
press and the mails with their
pleas and heir arguments. The
subject has been discussed in
both the Dn'n'h daily -, RS,
at various times, md at last a
meeting has been held for the
presenta ion of both side of the
case. .@.
But these splendid opportu-
mites have been gwen in vain.
No Duluth man, woman or child
has been heard to make a public
declaration in favor of the park.
The,wo,k of astute lobbyists
and ardent enthusiasts, of both
sexes. has gone for naugh !.
Duluth says in one unanimous,
stentoriap viva voce vote: 'NO
park"
And this unanlmity is not con-
fined to this locality. The
whole of northern Minnesota
wants the Nelson law carried
out immediately. This delay
for a dozen years. has been
shameful and scandalous. This
park scheme may be pronounced
dead. What is to be the next
device of the fine workers whose
private interests demand that
the Chippewa reservations shall
be kept closed, though the wei
fare ofthe people, red and white,
require that they be opened up?
