Imported Nuisances.

The English sparrows which
swarm all over the country in in
Vulnerable quantities have become
nuisance that is the despair OF
many. They throng public build
ings. deDots and church steeples:
they diligently harvet the farmers
seed and before it is chance to
sprout. !; and by their industry and
fearlessness of man have become
familiar spectacle in the most
crowded streets of the cities.
It may not be generally known
that it is only little more than
half a century since the time when
there wasn't q single English
sparrow on this continent, and that
when the first ones did come. they
came because somebody deliberately
brought them here. In 1850. it is
related. Nicholas Pike and other
members of the Brooklyn Institute.

of the birds from England. They
did not take kindly to this climate.
and all Of them died. Two years
later some more were brought. and
still others at later dates, until in
1886 it was estimated by Johnson's
University Encyclopedia that the
English sparrow had spread over the
greater portion of the United States.
east of the Mississippi river and
north Of Florida. and had extended
its northwestern range to Iowa,
Minnesota. and points beyond the
Missouri. Since then the birds have
spread all over the continent. 1t
was not until few years ago that
the first sparrows arrived on the
Pacific coast, but already they
promise within short time to be
as plentiful there as elsewhere.

A SPLENDID SENTIMENT.

In recent speech at New York.
William Jennings Bryan expressed a
splendid sentiment. devoid of poll
tics. but brimful of good homely
truth, when he said: Il devoted
the best of my life to the science
of government, but l recognize that
no matter how good government
NAV be. We miss its blessings if We
do not do right as individuals. No
matter how we NAV be absorbed in
issues and methods of government.

Clover Fields Look Fine.

It will interest manv who have
seeded clover for the first time this
year to learn that James A. Frank.
Of this city. has made a thorough
examination of a number of fields
that were seeded to clover last year
to ascertain how the plant has with
stood the past winter. and that he
has found in every instance that it
is coming along nicely. It was fear
ed that the past winter with its
scant supply of snow would be a
hard one on the clover plant. but it
has apparently come through all
right. That clover can be grown
successfully in this valley has been
fully demonstrated.

johnson was today made the candidate
OF his state for the presidential nomi-
nation by the Democratic party. Mid
scenes of the widest confusion and
enthusiasm the boom of the Mime
sotan was launched in a manner that
indicates that the Tall Pine" will

the finish at the Denver convention
1t was a significant event, and its
significance was realized by the rep
resentative body of Minnesota Demo
Gratis that filed the convention hall
Although insurrection was in the air
and Bryan Democrats were standing
about, ready to bolt if the order came,
it was Johnson convention through
and through. His followers controlled
the organization, dictated the names
on the committees, wrote the resolu-
upon every move of the convention.
The enthusiasm was conclusive.
The first cheers for Minnesota's
executive came when Frank A. Day
after working the delegates up to a
high pitch by severely attacking the
Bryan men in this state for what he
called the villest attack that had ever
been made in Minnesota politics. men
toned the name of Governor Johnson.
The credentials committee voted
unanimously to reject the contest OF
the Hennepin county Bryan men.
T. D. O'Brien, chairman Of the COM
mittee on resolutions, came forward
and presented its report. He stated
that it had been signed by all except
T. J. Knox of Jackson and W. j. Whip
pie of Winona. Mr.. Knox presented
the minority report and moved its
adoption as an amendment.
The Platform.
We affirm cur allegiance to the prin.
ciples of the party OF Jefferson and
Jackson and pledge our entire and
faithful support to the candidate for
the presidency whom the national
Democratic party in its wisdom shall
select at the convention to be held in
Denver next July.
We commend and indorse the hon

operation of the legislature and other
public officers our wise and able eyecu

trusts and combinations, has DESTROYED
the equilibrium which should exist
between the producing classes, and is
still the chief rampant behind which
predatory wealth is intrenched.
We hold that while this condition
remains unchanged the best efforts OF
