AN APPEAL TO THE SPORTsMEN or
Mississippi

Many sportsmen when on hunting
trips are in the habit of shooting
birds that can in no sense be consid
cred game, simply for practice. 1t il
undoubtedly fact that large number
OF red birds, wrens, fliokers, woot
peckers, sap suckers. bull bats and
birds of like character are destroyed
every year.
Without considering the aesthetic
! side OF the question such birds should
not be killed from an economic
standpoint, for they are of great
value to the public in the way Of
worm and insect destroyers. 1t is
sad that drovhe of bull bats are Of
more value to malaria district than
grove of quinine trees, as in the
spring and summer their diet consists
principally OF mosquitoes, and to kill
these valuable servants for practice in
shooting is a practice that NO true
sportsman will engage in. Let Us
hope it is the rerult Of thoughtlest
az 90.
This appeal is made to sportsmt n |
10 ask them to consider the great
value of the nom game birds, and 4
ID believed that they will not only |
.bstain from killing such birds. but
will preach the gospel Of protectit n
It all times.

Governor vardaman credit for
protecting the two negro murderer'

but believe the protection of the law
was thrown around them to prevent
an uprising Of the negroes, and count
the action of the governor feather
in their caps towards social equality.

for loot, and to get what they could
out of the treasury for their constitu-
onts, and indirectly for themselves,
than for honesty and probity. The
house felt that somebody, for some
sinister purpose had perpetrated a
great wrong, and had attempted to
disgrace congress in the eyes OF the
country and the world. Both Demo-
Gratis aud Republicans were caught in
the drag net, and party lines at once
disappeared, in view of the wide
embracing charge. A large number
of representatives made led hot
speeches, denying that they had done
anything to be ashamed of, ANYTHING
improper, anything but what was
their duty. 1t was their right and
privilege, in the interest of their con-
stituents, to go to any of the depart
ments, and especially to the postoffice,
to look after matters connected with
Just the very things hich they were
charged with doing, Among those
who made ringing speeches were Con-
gressmen Grosvenor, Hepburn, Clay,
Beavers, Hill, Kitchen and many
others. The postmaster general was
called "hyena" for dragging into
the report names of congressman who
were dead, an imbecile, ""a suprep Q
specimen of assinity," and many
other harsh names. Mr.. Bristow was
not spared.

had in vain tried by various means
to shut it off. or have the members
print what they wished to say in the
Congressional Record. The house
was in no mood to liLten to any
pro- osition, and Mr.. Cowherd, of
Missouri, who was member of the
committee on postoffices, defended the
committee for presenting the report.
He said it could do nothing less, and
that it was given to the house as il
came from the department. He was
followed by many other members of
the postoffice committee. When the
discussion closed the house voted not
to investigate the postoffice depart
ment. but to probe the charges made
against its lnemt ers. During the
