The editor Of The st. Louis Globe
Democrat appears to be on the verge
of nervous prostration these days,
and his tender feelings have been
lately lacerated by the statement Of
The Chicago Tribune that there is
no Republican party in any of the
so-called Southern States" One can
hardly blame The Globe-Democrat for
getting excited about it, for it is so
evidently true that outside of the
Federal officeholders there is not
much to be found of the Republican
party in the South. For instance, at
the caucuses In New Orleans lately
there were only about zoo votes cast
and there are over 700 Republican
officeholders,

It is said that the crops of corn

are very poor In the South. But the
crop of dark horses for the Demo
cratic Presidential nomination is
flourishing. Cplberson, Hoke Smith
John w. Daniel, John Sharp Williams,
Gov. Folk and others are all mention
ed as good Presidential timber. No
body doubts the soundness OF their
democracy or their qualifications for
the Office. What is wanted, however,
is someone nominated who can win.

Silken Birds Nests

Here is bird story told by Mrs. Liz lie
Porter, of Groton, VT, who vouches for
the facts.
broidery, and when her household duties
are done she sits out in the veranda and
plies her needle. She was working with
some scarlet sewing silk one day early in
July when yellow bird, which had built
nest a short distance away and was
searching for a lining for it, cast covetous
eyes ON the spool.
Just to see what it would do, Mrs. Porter
tossed the spool into the grass and
watched developments. After hopping
about the bright object for some time and
cycling it suspiciously the bird scratched
it over with one foot until it found the
end. Then it grasped it in its tiny beak
and flew to its nest. The bird was greatly
surprised at the length OF the silk, but
nothing daunted began to unwind the
spool and line the nest. In the end it used
all the silk and called the other birds of
the colony to see the finest house they had
ever laid eyes upon.
Evidently the other birds were jealous,
for two, Mrs. Porter declares, tore out the
Innings Of their homes and searched for
pretty filings like that used by their more
fortunate neighbor. Mrs. Porter fur
nished two spools of green and yellow
twist, but drew the line there. However,
the birds stole the contents of two
spools and used them. They did this one
afternoon while the housewife was enter
tanning caller. She had left her work
basket ON the veranda, and when she re-
turned half hour later six yellow birds
were searching over the contents and hav-
ing high old time looking for spools.
According to Mrs. Porter, the silk was so
evenly laid in the nests that she could
have taken it out and rewound it on
spools.

..bows decrease in the net resources for

decrease of s4,612.O6; in 1904 an increase OF

The total expenditures tor the year were

The commissioners in their estimate for
the ensuing two years, place the figure at
