MISREPRESENTATION To UP
SET DEMOCRACY.

-Congressman Jones' paper does
not think it is so much Mr.. Monta-
gue's popularity rs it is the cause he
represents that is pushing him
ahead. We agree as to the distiac-
ton drawn, but connot accept as
true the conclusion, that it is an
earnest that the "May Convention"
movement is receiving so much en-
dorsement at the hands of the peo-
pie. The cause which Mr.. Montague
represents. as is apparent to all con-
servatlve heads, is turbulent upris-
ing occasioned by demagogic attacks
upon the Democratic State admins
tration and party organization. All
such seditionary movements usually
enroll hungry thousands Of support
ers who have long been outside the
pu6hc pastures, "a great many of
whom have been in mesalliance
with the enemies of Democracy.
There are too, without doubt, thou
sands Of good men who are carried
away with the honest belief that the
Misrepresentation are true, for they
have been pumped full of these falsi-
ties for several years past, and the
wheel horses of Democracy have
unwisely-remained silent, trusting
in the good seuse and loyalty of the
Democrats of Virginia. AS it was
in Maryland SO it NOW appears will
be in Virginia. Free Lance.

but I'll take the liberty of telling
you that when ! lived in Texas had
friend who went ont fishing one
morning, and when he returned he
had a wagon load of fish, and he
claims that when he went out before
daylight he went to what he thought
was his favorite fishing place. He
began operations, throwing out his
line and pulling in fish as fast as he
could move. When day broke he
had wagon load and could find no
creek at all. Upon investigation he
discovered that he was half mile
from the creek, and that he had been
fishing in the fog."- Macon (Ga.) }

THE SPARROW AND HIS WAY.
tFroderteks5urg Free Lanee)

The subject of pests is being great
~ agltated throug hout the United
States, and many of the States are
taking steps to rid them of such
nuisances, spending great sums for
the purpose. The most notable in
stance ofthis isthe appropriations
reaching into the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, we believe-which
Massachusetts, and other New Eng
land States have made to destroy the
gypsy moth. Introduced by some
shaliow-pated enthusiast to supplant
the silkworm it has become the
destroyer of the shade trees aud
other vegetation, aud produces no
silk. That it will gradually come
southwark is in the order of insect
events.
The daisy and Scotch thistle are
among the vegetable nulsances which
were introduced when the fool-killer
was asleep, and how the English
sparrow got here, multiplied and
ravished the earth is too well known
to recite. To our view the sparrow
is the prince of all pests, aud unless
some steps are speedily taken to ex-
terminate him the raising of small
fruits will have to be abandoned.
Year by year more varieties and
greater quantities of insects appear
to harass the gardener. We firmly
believe that the cause of this increase
is more largely due to the presence
of the English sparrow than to any
other cause. Myriads of insects in
the past annually became the prey of
the robin, mockiug- bird, bee martin,
swallow, ground-sparrow and other
lnsect-devouring birds, and because
of this the insect species were never
permitted to appear in sufficient
quantities to make their presence
known. Birds of the class we have
mentioned have perceptibly dimin-
ished In numbers, some of the species
disappearingaltogether within recent
years, driven away by the bellicose
and obnoxious English sparrow. Not
only does he make war upon the ene-
mics of the worm, but ne positively
refuses to eat worms himself, regal
ing himself upon cherries, berries
and ali classes of small fruits, upon
grain in the head and in the off-fall
which has been part of the daily
food of other birds and the barn ward
fowl.
In the cities he is also a nuisance,
his incessant and tiresome chirp and
his filth making him an undesirable
tenant OF house caves and shade
trees. Such a thorough and general
nuisance has he become throughout
these United States that unless
warred against by State legislation
we shall expect to see him become u
question in national politics and
legislation.

A CANDID ENEMY.

Congressman John Lamb says of
Mr.. Swanson:
When he claims that Senator Mar
tin has the same right to be for him
that Lamb and Jones have to he for
Mr.. Montague, he states the case cor
rectly.
This is about as we regard it, and
much of the talk about the support
of Senator Martin we thiuk simply
political claptrap. 1t is not unnat-
ursl that members of Congress, like
other men, should have their person
al preferences, and as far as we have
observed there has been no "pernic-
ious activity" on either side of the
divided Virginia delegation. Rich

A consultation was then had and
our Captain stated that it was more
than likely freshet was on in Fred

for us TO proceed, so the trip was
abandoned. Messrs. Gore, Gould

lighted lantern could not be seen a
distance of three feet and it was
decided to stop and spend the night.

The Mercury has been warning
years that the day of cheap land in
Kansas was passing away Our pre-
dictions have been constantly verif-
ed. Every month has seen steady
though not large increase in farm
values. We do not believe the top
has been reached yet We are lead
to this opinion by several reasons.
In the first place this year makes the
fifth good crop in succession with
out a break This steadies values,
assures confidence and makes the
land desirable. Again there il q
plethora of money In the Kansas
banks, n large preparation of which
probably sixty per cent, belongs to
the farmers. There is but little mar
ket to loan it, A farmer with sur
plus capital naturally turns to the
land for investment. He knows its
values and capabilities. He knows
that the value is always there, and
he can always do something with it.
With the price of lands still too low
for their productive value, the natur-
al and inevitable thing for the farm
ers OF Kansas to do, is to buy more
land. a good share of tins surplus
money will be invested in Kansas
land this year, outside of any pur-
chase by immigrants from other
states. It must result in another
rise this fall--Kinsley Mercury

Sometimes we have thought that
ministers and the workers in the
churches did not entirely appreciate
the extent and the values of the free
advertising which is bestowed upon
them. But in this respect they do
not differ perceptibly from others,
notably the politicians. AS to abuse,
there has been scarcely an instance of
it for years. The rule, SO far as
there is any rule, is for the preachers
to say as little as possible about the
newspapers, varying this with occas
ionally mild criticism.-Arkans

who does not smoke is better satisfied
