THE ENGLISH SPARROW.

If the English sparrow were not such
hardy little rascal, so we'll able to
take care of himself and thrive and
multiply, how our pity would go out
toward him! Especially might we now
allow our generous feelings to flow,
when the department of agriculture
has just issued farmers bulletin In
which 1t has nothing really good to
say about this dweller everywhere and
offers various means for getting rid
OF him. But the English sparrow needs
no pity. ssyp Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle. He will live by grace
or without it, and we may expect
that, notwithstanding the bulletins, we
shall continue always to have him
with us, hardy. prolific, bold. cunning.
self-reliant and unwashed. The bull
letin--and it is sadly in accord with
popular experience-represen this
active neighbor of human kind as a
dyed-in-the-wool criminal among birds.
He attacks, it seems, almost every
sort of vegetation useful for food,
preys on his own kind by destroying
their eggs and driving them from gar
dens and parks and has no melodious
pean to offer after his victories. He
should be treated as vermin. and re-
duced in number, even if he cannot be
exterminated. To be sure, the bulletin
does not offer one forlorn hope. Mr..
Dearborn of the biological survey says
that he ought to be eaten.

The plea of meaning no harm is one
often advanced as an excuse for wrong.
doing. A man of average intelligence
who intends no wrong will keep with
in due limits and not take chances of
wrong resulting. Many are too often
satisfied with this vague and unmean-
ing excuse to their conscience, but it
has little weight either in reason or
law.

WENDELL PHILLIPS SAID.
And What He Said Union Men Should
Consider Well.

Wendell Phillips was engaged in
one of the greatest struggles for hui
man emancipation. He was one of
the greatest antislavery agitators.
When slavery had been wiped out, he
gave his attention to another great
emancipation movement-that of H.
Dor.
In April, 1872, he spoke before the
international Grand Lodge of the
knights of st. Crispin. His words are
peculiarly applicable to the situation
in this country today:
IF you want power in this country;
if you want yourselves felt; if you do
not want your children to wait long
years before they have the bread on
the table they ought to have, the
leisure in their lives they ought to
have, the opportunities in life they
wait yourselves, write on your banner
so that every political trimmer can
read it, SO that every politician, no
matter how short sighted he may be,
can read it: I'VE never forget. If
you launch the arrow of sarcasm at
labor, we never forget. If there is a
division in congress and you throw
your vote in the wrong scale, we never
forget. You may go down on your
knees and say, 81 am sorry l did not
act" and we viii say, Ell will avail

There has been few enterprises
started in Lincoln that has been more
generously maintained for wage
Gamers than this theater, That this
Hrr as popular in the city is equally
attestcd by the splendid patronage
accorded the theatre. AS in the case
of the Elite No. /, which is located
jus opposite, the management is
proud in the fact that the excellence
of entertainment provided is of the
best. Here also the films used are
union made, and this fact justifies the
splendid patronage accorded this by
the people of Lincoln. The Acme
Amusement company is giving the
people of the city the best films and
pictures in the country and this fact
is proving a success in gaining favor
from the masses of working people in
this city. This theatre is located at

CANNOT BE EXPLAINED,

1t has been proved beyond the ques-
ton of a doubt that men cannot work
with profit to themselves or their en-
ployers more than eight hours day.
Yet big employers shut their eyes
fight the reduction of hours that mean
more for them as well as their men,
as if they were fighting invasion of
their homes. The hatred and bitter
ness with which some employers re-
sist to the last the reasonable and just
demands of fellowmen for shorter
hours, is one of the inexplicable
things in social science.-Partland La
