1 Mr. Bryan's review of tbo democratic

very much fears that tbo big and popular

sights in bis own party that bo has
always beheld in th election icturns :
tlmt a minority of scaUwaga have
succodod in overriding the will of tbo
great common paoplo and overthrowing
the right. Ho has a serious time of it
in subordinating these people in his
own party as well as those of tbo re

Tlio Usefulness of
Connecticut farmor.s discovered some
time ago that birds were their friends ,
aud secured tbo pixsspgo of laws to prot
vent their wanton destruction. Fur
thermore , they saw thnt the la vs wen
ouforced. Some of the farmers even
sot out cherry aud mulberry tree" , ex
pecting that the fruit would attract to
their fluids birds , which would out the
bugs aud worms tbat itjtired their
crops.
This spring tbo results of the past few
years care were apparent , and flicks of
a hundred robins were not uncommon.
As the season advanced other birds ap
peared iu largo numbers and were wel
comed , i
It ia an old error to suppose that bird *
are the funnel's1 euQuiioa , No doubt
sometimes they ii.jure the crop * ; bur
usually tboy attack' the iusnot p'-stK ' ,

The Connecticut experience has du
plicated in other states. The birds
wore first foolishly driven away ; theu
the crops sufl'ureii , aud laws had to bo
passed forbidding the killing of buds
The Audubou societies have done much
to eulargo popular knowledge , aud now
it is common to FCC- people feeding
birds in order to invlto them. A few
crumbs thrown out of the house every

Jllrt Inlay of "Old Glory. "
Ono hundred and twonty-flvo years'
ago Saturday congre "Resolved , That
the flag of the thirteen United States bo
thirteen fltnpCH , altfnmto rid and white ;
and th it thu union bo thirteen stars ,
White in a blue fluid , r presenting a now
constellation , " and this was the birth of
"Old Glory" M it is known and loved
today by eighty millions of people ,
with the exception that many now stars
have been added to the coiiRtollatiooi
Tbo committee that decided on the
form of flag was composed of George
.Washington , Robert Morris and Colonel
HO H. Mrs. lies * , it la said , was the per
son to make the first American flag and
to her the credit belongs for making a
five pointed star , the comihittoo having
decided that the stars should have six
points. Legend gives the credit for
raising the first American flag to John
i Paul Joiios , who was appointed to com
maud the continental ship Hunger , and
that ship was the flrMj of a numerous
aud progressive family to carry the em-
bloui. When thn docign was first
adopted it was thu intention of adding anew
now stripe aud a now star for every
Btuto admitted , but thisproved very in
convenient as far as the stripes wore
concerned. In the war of 1712 when
Vermont and Kentucky wore admitted
to iho , union there were 1C stripes and
Ifi stars , but by act of congress in 1818
the 1J1 origiual stripes were restored ,
the increase of states being indioattd by
the addition of Btais. First the stars
were put in u circle , typical of perpet
uity , thtn they took other forms , some
times talcing that of the letters U. S.
It was finally decided that they should
appear in rtguhir rows as at present
The thirteou original states were re
sponsible fur the creation of numerous
designs for flags before tbo ouo now in
use was finally adopted , but they passed
with the adoption of the stars and
stripes. The r. d cross of St George ap
peared iu New England as early as 177fi
and this was followed by the pine tree
which was quite generally adopted , the
Puritans looking with disfavor on the
cross. Tbo mottoes , "Liberty tree" and
"An Appeal toGod" appeared in con
nection with the pine tree and the navy
flag bore the pine tree emblem for some
lime. At Lexington there was no
American flag but at Bunker Hill there

I'rotcut thu
In tbo vicinity of Gr.iud Iiland large
numbers of elm trees have been stripped
if their 'foliago by canker worms aud ,
especially in the timber along the
.streams , the trees are as bare of foliage
as iu midwinter Haviugi rid the tluis
of tbo foliage the worms are now attack

Instances tbo orchards are uiado to snf

a remedy and bo favora tbo protectiou
and encouniging of uativa birds as the
most effective way to rid tbo country of
the pest , also explaining thut th ) worm
has insect enemies to 'aid the birds iu
the work. Iu bis reply to the inquiry
Prof. Brnuer , among other things , IH
quoted as follows :
"Tho little chickadee
or blink-rapped
titmouse spends a great , part of its time
during the winter months nn < J early
spiing in searching the hurl : on Uuir.- ,

Even tbu orioles are known to ixeot-d- -
ingly active in this kind/of woik. I
would , therefore , suggest tbat you do
all you can towards securing a bettor
soutimont in favor of bird protection
hero iu Nebraska. "
"The Nebraska Ondthologiats' Uuion ,
an organization formed for the purpose
of Ktallying our Nebraska birds , is con
sidering the advisability of adding a
special section devoted to the matter of
bird protection and to bo composed of
school teachers , and school ohildreu
from ten years old upward. What do
you think of the idea ? "
Professor Lawrence iBruuer of the
state experiment station at Lincoln ,
never mlsNos an opportunity to pay a
good word for the birds when any iusoot
post 1 up for consideration. Careful
investigation has levealed tlmt blub * are
the greatest friends the farmer and
gardintr bus nud they should bo rig
orously protected. Tbo most pro
nounced enemy of the birds appears to
bo the boy with a gnu or a sling-shot ,
who takes particular delight in killing
or wounding the useful little songsters.
At ono tiino the farmers thought it
necessary to get rid of birds which
occasionally took a little fruit or grain
for a Change of diet , but this sentiment
has deen overcome iu many places and
the birds are welcome to whatever they
dtfiiro , knowing that their menu will
consist largely of the bugs and worms
that are the real enemies of the agri
culturalist. In this connection it might
also bo stated that there are insect
friends of the farmer that should bo
given encouragement. Some of thdso
live on the eggs and larva of the insects
that am pests and it would seem that
a study of these beneficial birds aud
insects would bo most profitable ,
not only in the schools but iu the homes
of all the pooplo. The pests are incroa--
ing iu numbers aud their enemies should
be encouraged to thrive and increase.
W. M. Robertson , Madison county's
candidate for governor , while he failed
to capture tbo nomination , did uot
oomo out of the convention without
honor. Ho made a worthy showing of
strength , swinging into the lead on the
first ballot aud maintaining bis position
through * several votes , increasing in
strength uutil it was found that bo
could not bo nominated aud then swing
ing into line for the successful candidate
until it resulted ia his nomination. Mr.
RobertBOU entered the race with 252
votes ou the first ballot nud his strength
increased up to the sixth ballot , when
Ho received 883 votes , being tbe
highest received aud placing him
within 100 votes of the nomination.
It was seen that his strength was
at the highest and that tbo nomination
could not bo landed. Then the Robert-
sou forces fell iu line for Mickey , and ho
was nominated on the thirteenth ballot ,
when Douglas couuty followed the Rob
ertson forces iuto the Mickey camp , aud
ho was afterward declared the uomiuoo
by acclamation. The convention real-
id that Robertson , and north Nebraska
behind him , was a factor that deserved
consideration mid the honor of Imming
the candidate was couceded to tbo
RoVrtson forces by tbo shrewd rjoli-
tic.ans of tbe convention.
Tha platform , comroittre ' of 'tbo
Illirois democrats succeeded in nnch-
Ingian ai-grnemeut attar the convention
had concluded its other business , and
made a rnport before all the delegates
had loft tbo ball. Objection wns made
to ( veil uu intimation tbat the Kansas
City platform was endorsed and the
argument that mot with fiivor was an
enilorsmont of all domoaratio principles
that any uatiomil convention bad over
endorsed or reaffirmed. It is a broad
and uninteresting statement and docs
not mean much. It bus the appearance
of dodging tbo issue as to whether tbe
ouventiou wns democratic or not. Mr
Bryan's name was not mentioned and
he will uow pi obably devote some of
tbo O 'mmoner's space to reading them
a lecture.
The withdrawal ol Treahuicr S enfer
from tbo race bt-foro the convention
was undoubtedly the pait of wisdom
While ho hud materially strengthened
himself by complying with dertain de
mands i hat had been made on him as
the guardian of tbo public funds and
\vhile his conduct of the ofllco during
the p.itt year has botn uniformly satis-
facto-y , still an opposition to bis
candidacy had developed which. , if it
had not pr < vented his nomination ,
would uu doubtedly Jiavo worked
to tbp injurv of bis campaign for re-
ttloetiou. His standing as a candidate
who has donlined a nomiuation will bo
much better than that of a candidate
who went in to securw it , regardless nnd
if Ruccohsf ul must have weakened tbo
ticket.
