A Bright, Newsy Letter From Our
'egular Correspondent at
the National Capital.
Washington, 1). (J., Mob II.
"Sow the wind and reap the whirl
wind." That's what the Republi
cans ot the House and Senate of the
57th Congress have done ami are do
ing in the closing hours of this Con
gress. Tnoy have ridden rough shod
over the minority unit now they are
repeUiusr in sack cloth and ashes.
The lilibustor in the House and
Senate during the hist week of this
Congress have been productive of
of great good, not alone to the peo
ple aim their pocket books by the
decapitation of numerous bills that
were steals pure and simple, but it
1ms been a salutary lesson to the ur
rogmit majority. They have been
returned to power so often bv the
people in tliH last ten vears that they
nave come to look upon tliu peniui
sites of otliee as peculiarly their own,
ami that they could do as they pleas
ed and the Democrats would sit dow n
meekly and calmly and suck their
thumbs as ther have been doing too
long already because they have been
cursed with a supine and colorless
leadership. Hut the worm will turn
at last and sometimes a man refuses
to turn the other cheek after being
smitten on one. ion can kick
trump out doors when he is plumb
busted mid tic will not resent it, but
pul a twenty dolliu lull in his pock
et and then kick him and hu will
knock vou down. The Democrats
have been bnoved up lately bv tin-
mistakes of tho Republicans, and the
twenty dollar bill ot almost us-nncil
success in the next campaign, uml
they have come to I he conclusion
that it is high time to assert their
rights and compel the Republicans
to recognize tliein, and they are do
ing so will) a veiigi nee tliu thus made
the Republicans gasp for breath.
1 Ins whole rumpus started when
e Republicans committed the
greatest, on I rage that ever was com
mitted in the history of national leg
islation in this government, that, is,
when they kicked out the Hon. Jus.
Hutler, of the 12 district of Mis
souri, from his seat in this Congress
twice, without, rhyme or reason.- It
was the most indecent and indefensi
ble piece of pari Headship ever perpe
trated on the fac of the earth. Mr.
Hutler was elected to the 57th Con
gress, and his se-it was contested by
Ex-Heprcsentutive T. J. Redding, of
Caraway, N. C.
man named Horlon. Horton's
record was so ruttcu that the Repub
licans could not afford to give him
the seat, but such was their partisan
ship that they would not give it to
Hutler, whose father hml been so
prominent in Democratic circles in
the city of St. Louis for years.so they
declared the seat vacant, and that no
election had occurred. That hap
pened on the 2Sth of last June. Last
fall Mr. Hutler ran not only tor the
vacancy, but for the long term in
next, or SHtli, Congress. He was
lifted to both stats by a majority of
over ti,0UO votes. 1 he man who con
tested his seat for the short term,
Mr. Wagoner, made his contest on
the ground of fraud in the district.
There were over 2,5(1(1 pages of testi
mony in the case, on both sides of
which the committee on elections
read not one paw, and submitted
nothing to tliu House. The commit
tee simply called up tile case and the
partisan majority tired out Mr. lint
ler on the ex-purtc statement ot the
Republican chairman of the commit
tee that he was elected by fraud.
Thev not only did that, buwthey did
it without a quorum present, as de
manded by the Constitution of the
country.
They had the power and they used
that power like a giant. It was s:m
ply a ease of might, mid not the least
semblance of justice or of decency
connected therewith. 1 he Demo
crats resented the outrage and caused
the til i buster, not so much
venue' for the iudecent partisanship
of the licpuhlicaiH, but, as the lion
John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi
said the other dav in one of Ids bril-
hunt and inimitable speeches, it was
to give the Republicans to understand
that they could not walk over the
minority with hobnailed shoes on
without stepping on something that
hurts. Mr. Williams will be the
next floor leader of the Democrats
by common consent on the part of
the Democrats of the next Home
that-he is the best eqtiipiied man in
the House for the position and the
Republicans will have some hard,
stetiuing to waiK over nun. i ney
not only fear him but they respect
him as well, and it will be my pleas
ure and pivilego to gi.ve the readers
of this paper a pen sketch of this
brilliant man in the near futnie.
This lilibuster on .the part of the
Democrats has saved the people of
thftcountry not less than $30,000 in
the,country not less than $30,000 m
jobs and petty steals that would have
gone through the Uepnblican House
1 1 "' the closing hours of this last sea-
The taxpayers of the country
owe the Democrats a debt of grati-
cude for that if for nothing else.
The Democrats have been madder
than they have ever la-en since the
Fifty-Hrst Congress when the Reed
rules were forced on them, and they
have given the Republicans a gentle
foretaste of the future if the Repub
lican majority in the next House at
tempts t" play horse in the same
way. ' ,
'i'lio Democratic filibuster in the
Senate has been productive of great
good in that it has resulted in the
death of the Aldi ich financial bill.
That lrill was designed to give the
national banks of the country addi
tional advantages, and in fact to es
tablish a national bank trust, but the
action of the Democrats has killed
the measure for this Congress.
They contended that the ostensible
object of the bill, which wad to get
the money now congested in the na
tional treasury, out into the hands
of the people, could be done in
another and in a much better way,
and that was bv reducing the tariff
on many articles and stop the How of
the moncv into the ticusiirery. In
other words, instead of having the
money go into tho treasury and then
sending it buck to the people through
the medium of the national banks,
which would get a profit out of un
people, they would reduce taxation
and keep the ilioncv in the hands
of the people in the first instance.
1 Ins Aldrich hill, in connection with
the tariff, would have been a venta
blc nigger's coon trap. It would
have caught the people coming and
going. That-, however, is the esence
of Republican legislation.
the action ot this liepnlilicati
Congress in refusing to give to the
new Secretary of Commeice and Iji
bor the anion, it asked for in his esti
mate of wimt it would cost to run
his department, is simply indicative
of what wo niav expect from that
department when it engages in the
pastime ot li nsl-luistiiig. 1 already
have analv'.ed what the provisions
for puidicii r in that new department
amount to uiidei' th'.' moat favorahU
onditious, and now that, the Repub
licans have refused to allow the new
Secretary anything with which to
run Ins department, it. luears that
nothing will be done at all. Mr
Cmlelvou asked for about a million
ind a iutrtcr of dollars to run his
lepai'tiiient, and Congress has given
him about &U)(),lHiO. This means
that they are going to bust, trust
and investigate trusts on the instal
ment plan only. It means that they
passed the law as u blurt, as 1 sunt

THE VALUE OF BIRDS TO
AGRICULTURE.
Important as Insect Destroyers-
Three Hundred Species Not
Protected ky Law.
To those who have thought but
little concerning the practical value
of birds to man, it may be a new idea
that their usefulness is a very pro
nounced reality; this usefulness lies
chiefly in the service they lender a
destroyers of insects which are inju
rious to vegetation, us consumers of
small rodents, as destroyers of large
ipiautities of seeds of noxious plants,
and as scavengers, liirds constitute
the chief foice in keeping down the
surplus number of insects which oth
erwise would be far more destructive
to the agricultural products of the
country. As matters now exist, one
tenth of the entire agricultural pro
duct of the United State each year
is a total loss through the inroads of
insects, and 'we are told that owing
to the decreasing number of buds,
this percentage is annually increas
ing. The work that birds do simply
as preventatives is enormous.
The young of some species eat
more than their own weight of insect
food daily. The adult birds of
many kinds subsist chiefly on an in
sect diet, and two-thirds of the va
rieties found in North Carolina are
almost entirely insecti vermis. Hirds
digest their food so rapidly that it is
diilicult to estimate the real amount
hich thev consume. It is known,
however, that a swallow will eat six
or seven hundred flies in a day. The
stomach of a cuckoo shot at b o'clock
in the morning, contained twenty
three tent caterpillars partly digest
ed; how many would have been de
stroyed by evening cannot well be es
timated. 1 he stomachs of chicka
dees not infrequently - have been
found to contain over two hundred
eggs of the canker worm, uud as
many as tweuty-hve of the female
ninths, each holding over one hun
dred eggs,. It has been estimated
that during the one month that these
insects iiifest the treer, each chicka
dee would destroy over 180,000 eggs.
peewee which 1 once watched cap

of ten minutes. Tho bird would
lart out n few yards, seize a passing
insect uud return at once to her look
out perch. When some hours later
1 aguui saw the bird, she Mil still
busy at her work.
T lie real value of birds as insect
destroyers has not been appreciated
generally. One reason of this is that
their work is uot apparent to the
casual observer, who rarely sees a
bird except when it is alarmed and
theiefore is not feeding. Superlieial
observation bus been a cause for
much suffering to birds, and a great
pecuniary loss on the part of observ-
We, as a people, have failed to ob
serve carefully the feeding habits of
our feathered friends, and thus have
not learned their intrinsic value.
For the same reason we have not
beca sufficiently interested in their
preservation to tnact adequate laws
tor the protection ot non-game birds.
1 here have been recorded in JNorth
Carolina 312 species of birds. 300
of these species aie not protected by
the laws of the State, except m a few
(unities, ruhlic sentiment is so lax
in many sections that these laws are
really no better than no laws at all.
There is scarcely a bird witlim the
limits of our Cemmonwealth that is
uot regarded as a legitimate mark for
any gnu. Numbers of men and boys
in almost every section ot the coun
try at times shoot non-gauie birds in
dkcriminutely. Thousands of chim
ney switts, swallows, martins and
niuht-haws (bull-bats) are shotcverv
summer "just to see them fuU." The
small buy plunders the nests ot tneir
eggs for his "collection, una does so
unrestrained by parental authority.
Our sea birds have Urn almost ex
terminated by the plume hunters,
who gut bar the feathers for the great
millinery houses. In some sections
of the central and eastern portions of
the State thousands of mocking birds
are annually taken from their nests
by people who attempt to rear them
by hand as singers for the ever-ready
Northern and Western markets. Ir
responsible parties wandering aliout
the fields, without the least instincts
of sjiortsmanshi), shoot woodpeckers,
redbirds, sparrows and thrushes.
Only a short time since I hearjl a
gentleman complaining that ne nan
seen a hoy shooting mocking birds in
the cemetery of one of our chief cit
ies. The boy said he "was trying to
see how many birds he could kill in
an hour. This kind of thing bus
gone on too long. Many observing
people will testily that the common
birds are Mi as numerous in their
sections as in foruier years.
The problem with which nature is
confronted, of adjusting the habits
of her wild creatines to meet the
changing environments occasioned
by the advancement of civilization
n to the wilderness; is a stem nue.
When, therefore, man adds to her
difficulties by causing the wholesale
destruction of any particular form
of wildlife, the rapid falling off in
numbers of the persecuted neoessarii
ly follows. The alarming decrease
of the nnmber of birds in the United
States of recent years has been the
occasion of much anxiety to the
minds of thoughtful persons. Many
States have already passed laws for
the protection of their birds, and
there are those who believe that the
people of North Carolina will not
longer consent to see their innocent
and valuable friends wantonly

MR LAMBETH THE WINNER
' THIS YEAR.
An Able Young' Thomasville Man
Whs Honors at Vanderbilt.
Mr. Ross Won it Last
Year.
Mr. W. A. Lambeth, sou of Mr.
F. S. Lambeth, of Thoniasville, N.
C, a student of Vanderbilt Univer
sitv, has been honored by the Dia
lectin Society to represent Vaudeibilt
in the Southern Intercollegiate Ora
torical contest to be held at Sewan
nee on the 18th day of May. Mr
Lambeth won this honor in the con
test with the brightest minds at
Vanderbilt, in a contest that dieted
the deepest interest.
The Nashville American, writ ting
of Mr Lambeth s speech says:
"The second speaker was W. A.
Lambeth, of the Dialetlu Society
who spake on "The Ciisis." His
speech was so built that the judges
had no difficulty in grasping the
connected line of thought. He has
an earnest delivery and his pleading
tone held the ear of the audience
from the start. He is from Thomas
ville, N. C, and a member of the
Theological Department. He should
stand a splendid chance to win at
the Anal trial in May.
"Mr Lambeth began by deelaring
that Tolstoi's contention that "in
ternational brotherhood makes senti
ment of fatherland superfluous like
a lamp in the daytime" was a doc
trine that could exist only in theory,
nevery in practice. Each nation had
problems that must be solved by
that nation. Yet jthe devotion of
one's self to the locality in which
oue liaes does not imply the sacrifice
of international fraternity. The
best wav t.i touch the woild was to
touch the locality in which one
lived. The ultimate result of such
work was world wide in its influence.
"So patriotism," said the speaker,
"not provinciuli-uii, is the promoter
of one great idea today sweeping
over the Southern Stales, consecia
tion of Southern talents to the solv
ing of Southern problems,"
"These problems, Mr Lambeth
said, were presented by industry,
politics and religion. With its im
mense resources and rapidly increas
ing capital, the South was destined
to become a manufacturing as well
as iui . agricultural center. There
was in progress in the South an in
dustrial evolution, which was simi
hu to that experienced by the North
Ex-Senator Cameron Morrison, of
. Rockingham County.
thirty years ago, and which demand
ed skillful direction to prevent a
continuation of the war waged be
tween labor and capital in the North.
hack vs. HACK.
"While this conflict was of the
future, political conditions hud til
eitdy arrayed one race against
another. Through misuse, the
negro ballot had lost its sacredness
in the eves of the white man. J lie
pirit which prompted America lo
lit the Filipino for self-government
and not to give him something he
could neither appreciate nor manage
was the same which prompts the
Southern white men to eliminate the
incompetent negro vote. Fitness,
ability, not urislocracv, not color,
was to be the test of citizenshii
These industrial and political
movements had led to the question:
".Will the church continue to bold
its own in the South." The preach'
is of the South, the speaker said,
had a ijreut opportunity. The South
needed preachers who could keep the
business men in the church, preach
ers who could implant the highest
principles of conduct into those who
were nut giving shape lo the limits
trial and civic life.
Mr. Lamhsth closed by paving a
tribute to the work ot the South
unbuilding its lost fortunes, ana
appealing to the generation of the
present day to continue the great
work of the past.

of which this is one. The winter-
berry is worthy a place on the lawn
if for no other reason than for its
remarkable profusion of bright scar
let fruit which persists until quite
late in the winter. . The leaves of
this species are deciduous, fulling in
Septembefjar October; but the ber
ries are so abundant that it seems
rather an advanrage that the leaves
should dro;. early, thus exposing the
bright drupe, the real glory of these
bushes or small trees. A generous
boaxinet of the branches has added
brightness to the home for a month
or more; and thai berries are still
bright red, showing very slight sings

His Speech at the Elwood Hotel
Banquet in High Point
Recently.
Mr. Robert N Pa ire said:
"We do well in this age of hurry
and rush ami bringing things to
pass, to occa.-ioiuilly pause and,
round the festive board or not, give
play to sentiment. Commemoiate
the events that make our country
great, or ;ho days that give our
nation, our State, this enterpiising
town, its patriots. There some
times comes into the lives of
thoughtful men the f.-ar that our
materialism of the age in which we
live will cause us as a people to for
get our history and in r heroes. A
patriot is by the best definition I
can find or give: ''A good citizen
who truly loves his ciuntry." We
keep the eminent embodiments of
these sentiments in mind by national
or State holidays, and .'t is well that
the patriotism of Washington and
Jefferson and Lee and Lincoln should
be comnieuiorated by nil the people
of this nation 1 am reminded tli.il
this is the anniversary jf tiie birth
of Abraham Lincoln. Judged by
the definition I have given, he was
a patriot. Born of Lr.inble parent
age, in a home as humble as that lo
which the great Nuzareue came,
without opportunity in youth and
midst environment calculated to
make him hate instead of love his
country; without learning as men
term learning. Ins life illustrates the
truth that there is ah avs place for
pluck, grit, ambition, honesty, brains
and with these and in spite of diffi
culties that to thousands have seem-
d insurmountable, hn reached the
highest achievement und justly
earned the title of patriot, because
he loved his fellnw-inen and loved
his country.
"However, I shall not. attempt a
eulogy of .Mr. l.incoli: for, pleasing
as the task might be, I do tint feel
equal lo it, I want to add that 1
should like to see tl.e lives and
achievements of our North Carolina
