GERMAN ELECTIONS.
The Expected Socialist Gains Did Not
 Materialize.

Berlin, Jan. 26-According to latest returns of the reichstang election held yesterday the socialists have gained one and lost twenty seats. The two conservative parties gained nine and lost six. The clericals gained two and lost four, the national liberals gained nine and lost nine. The radical groups gained five and lost two. the Poles gained two and the Guelphs lost three. The agrarian and anti-semitic groups gained twoo and lost five seats each.
 The socialists have entered demands for seventy-five re-ballots. From these they are likely to elect nineteen mem bers, hence their strength in new reich stage will probably be below fifty. The clericals have demanded about thirty re-ballots and have chances of winning enough seats to retain full strength in the new house.

nIPORTUNATE GOVERNMENT
 EMPLOYES.

Senator Hale's rebukc of the naval officers who have been lighting a fire under members of congress" in the interest of the navy personnel bill was deserved, if it is ever proper to re5uke any man who seeks by persua- sion to influence legislation.
 President Roosevelt was the first to penalize government employees for harassing congressman concerning pending legislation in which they were interested. Many a mail carrier. post al clerk and other small employe has lost his job with its meager salary. which he was seeking to increase.
 The presidents order prohibiting the exercise or attempted exercise of such influence of legislation was directed against government en- ployes," and congressman doubtless felt thankful to the president for an order designed to free them from great annoyance. By government employe" the president probably did not mean navy or army officer. but it appears from Senator Hale's com plaint that to congressman, all impor- tunate employees, whatever their rank. either in the civil or military service, are equally annoying.
 The fact that the navy personnel bill is a favOrite measure of the pres Ident, does not render their annoyance any the less unpleasant. Probably the president was not aware that these officers were violating the spirit Of his order. but he is certainly aware Of it now. It is hardly to be surmised however. that he will discharge any Of them from the service, nor is it to De surmised that congressman. at least Senator Hale will be bothered by them any more.

THE LUMBER CAR INvESTIGA-
 TION.

The investigation of the lumber car shortage, which Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lane is conducting in the northwest is Of a peculiarly ex parte character. The railroads are permitted and even required to be present for the purpose of supplying testimony against themselves. Any thing they may have to say in behalf of themselves or in explanation or in contravention of damaging testimony is rejected as irrelevant, quite foreign to the purpose of the investigation, which is apparently to prove that things are not as they should be.
 The other day various complaining lumber dealers testified that they had participated in a conspiracy with em- ployes of the Hill roads for discrimi- nation against each other and against other lumber dealers. They had been engaged in bribing the railroad em- ployes to deliver cars to them. This practice on their own testimony. had been carried on without complaint on their part until at last cars be- came so scarce that even bribery could not procure them. Then. for the first time. the complainants "squealed on the employees and disclosed to the au- thorities that the employees had permitted themselves to be brib- ed. An attorney for the roads expressed surprise at information of the practice, though it did not involve the management of the road. He nat urally wanted details of the conspir- acy, but his inquiry was stopped by the commissioner who told him that the facts had been accepted as trueS the railroad could investigate it later on its own account. It was the busi- ness of the government to prove that damaging charges were true. a thing made more difficult of accomplish ment if the accused were allowed to prove that they were not true.

THE FOOL WHO ROCKS THE BOAT.

Among the doubtful blessings of spring we have with

He has already begun his seasons work The other

But, after ALL is the who rocks the boat disnc

He is only taking risk.
He is only seeing how far he go.
We do nnumerabe things equally as foolish, because
we all have it in us to plunge little We all have that

pretty good they but think II take the chances
And do not always analyze these steps beforehand,

DEATHSENTENCE
ON ENGLISH
SPARROW
Special Correspondence. to The Press

oPeChhl correspondents TO 1nS FreuS
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 49,
The government is asking people
all over the country to make war
on the English sparrow and to put
up bird houses and bore holes under
the caves of the barns to encourage
the swallow.
This measure is made imperative
| in order that the cotton industry
of the United States may not be
destroyed.
All insect-eating birds are of i'm
mense value to the farmer and the
forester. but it has been discovered
by the government bug experts
that there is no bird equal to the
swallow. Particularly is this true
in the matter of the insect which is
destroying the cotton plantations
of the south
The Boil weevil, despite every eff
| fort to stay its march, is spreading
at the rate of about 80 miles year
and sooner or later it is said that
! il certain to infest the entire cot
ton producing area-a fact which
not only seriously concerns the
southern planter but in its ultimate
consequences affects the wellbeing
of the whole country.
The aid of the north is required
as most of the swallows spend part
of the season in the northern states
and i'll many cases do their nesting
there. The bird is disappearing.
however, because the English spar
row harries him and kills his young
| by the thousands.
Various methods of exterminat-
ing the English sparrow are recon-
mended by the department Most of
them consist in the use of poisoned
grain.

nounced only for May 90 and 81.
After reaching any of the points on
either the Northern Pacific or the
%. r. & N. line under these rates,
a more liberal rate may be obtained
for the remaining distance to the
fair.
The big Four" line out of Chi
cago is making rate every day
which will permit anyone to go to
the jamestown fai rfrom this city
for $S1. 1t is very possible that
the rate can be bettered upon ar
rival in Chicago, as the numerous
roads running out of that city are
competing for business and in all
directions. The schedule of the
Big Four line is SIT for a ticket
limited to 10 days; s22.25 for a II
day limit: S26.29 for a 60 day tick
ct, and $4,000 for a season ticket.
