WINTER VISITORS AT HOME,

WINTER VlSlIUKS AL HUME,
Next month there will be so many wei
ccne bird arrivals from the South, that
we may scarcely notice the gradual slip |
ping away of a number OF unobtrusivc
little visitors who came down from the
North at the beginning of winter and who
have done their part toward tding over
for us season when bird life is at Its
lowest ebb. This, however, Is but win
ter resort to them. Now they VIII return
to their homes where they will build their
nests and rear their young. Many OF them
require, at this time, peculiar conditions
which cannot be supplied in climate ike
ours. To obtain these conditions most of
the birds seek the north but this Is not
always necessary as II often happens that
the climate to be found at high attitudes
in the mountains Is almost Identical with
that of low lands much farther north
This fact Is we'll known to the birds, ana
1t IS interesting to note that the breeding
ranges of certain species, which custom
arily build in northern countries, VIII OK
tend southwark even to the tropics, along
the sides of sufficient altitude TO AFFORD
the climate required, Thus the little
golden crowned knglet, which. under or
binary conditions does not build its nest
much further south than the Canadian
brodcr nests in tho Ricky Mountains as
far south as Mexico, and along the Allie
ghanies into North Carolina.
In other cases, a single pair of birds will
sometimes make their home upon an $50
lated mountain which affords the desired
| conditions. when the nearest nesting pair
of the same species Is perhaps 200 miles
to the northward. This statement applies
not only to our winter visitors, but also to
many other migrants.
Perhaps the best-known of our winter
visitant birds are the juncos, which come

No Good Roads for VIRGINIA

The Virginia legislature yesterday voted,
81 to 33, against the passage Of bill for
the construction Of good roads within the
state. This action was bitter disappoint-
ment to the progressive citizens of the Old
commonwealth, who have felt for many
seasons that 1t was time Virginia Joined the
procession of the states In the encourage
ment Of better highways. The Virginia
roads are about as bad at times as any In
the country. A few old pixies" remain az
reminders of the days when stage coach.s
rolled across country. the chief means OF
communication But these are In disrepair
and the common roads are usually muddy
or deep in dust. The farmers Of Virginia
have suffered heavily from this cause,
losing time and money in the Transportation
OF their goods to market Many of them
have recognized the folly of the old methods
of road-making and repair, but they have
not been able to persuade the legislators OF
the wisdom Of the adoption of modern de-
vices and plans Of taxation.
This lesson of the actual profit to be de-
rived from good roads Is not as readily
learned as might be imagined, when the
ease with which balance Is struck in
favor of the new methods is considered.
The farmer is too conservative to adopt
such suggestions readily. In some parts OF
the country. on the other hand. the farmers

The Boer War in Politics.

Mr. SuIzer was denied his just due by his
party friends in caucus last night. He has
made the South African question his own
for purposes of agitation in our politics
His views about liberty and neutrality
have been set forth time and again, II not
so very clearly at least most aggressfvely.
He would have this government do some
thing toward stopping the war. mere
expression of sympathy for the Beers does
not appeal to him. AS he contends. there Is
sympathy and to spare for the South Afri-
can powers. Continental Europe alone Is
full Of it. What Mr.. Sulzer wants is action
on the American sympathy: and he drew
his resolution last night accordingly. But
his party-thOugh only by the smallest ma
Jority-refused his leadership, and for tacti-
cal purposes accepted something milder.
We may he sure. however, that Mr.. Sulzer
stands just where he stood before, and in
his own way will continue the fight.
What the British government would do
in the event of attempted interference on
our part in the matter of the Beers now is
hardly problematical. Having already de-
Clined our friendly offices In the premises
in friendly way. she would probably give
-uS such an answer would be tantamount
TO a sharp rebuff. and then of course the
pro-Boers in this country would insist upon
our taking the war off the hands of the
Beers They would want to push into
first place. and then would follow a world
wide entangIement.
But what should We do if"the British gov
ernment treated overtures lightly?
What if lord Salisbury were to reply. with
aggravating politeness, that he would hear
us on the point after we had set our own
house in order, and then quote from the
examination Of General Otis by Senator
Patterson, conducted but a few hours be-
fore the adoption of the Randall resolution,
and designed to show that the United
States is itself playing the role of a tyrant
and rubber in another part of the world?
If We were to reply that that was none of
Great Brtains business, Great Britain
might reply in turn. the same here"
- What partisan value in the coming cam
paign-fts chief ObjeCt-this maneuver may
possess remains to be seen. While 1T may
