The chief difference between him and the buzzard is a matter i taste one likes live meat, the other pre fers that that if dead. But the eagle is an aristrocrat and the buzzard is a democrat Coming lower down we find the mocking bird ranking the fowls of the air. He is a charming r'nger, and boat of all he is game. He will fight. I was ruminating on this line because just at twilight I saw a pair of them at tack a screech owl in the front yard, and after much ado they whipped him and drove him away, and- then one of them sane us an evening song, ibey are building near the house, and so are tbesquirrels, and 1 have seen the birds drive theequinels to their hiding places. Uame chickens rank the common barnyard fowl. Nabor Freeman says thev are better to eat and have a oner flavor, He had said this so often that his wife thought she would see if it was so. She had one of his floe shawl necks killed while he was away and had. it nicely cooked, and as he was enjoy ing tt she said, "Now, do- you really be- live that a game chicken it any better than this one r J- r Why, my dear," said he, "there is no comparison.

Neverthe less, it is a fact that game fish are. bet ter than the stupid, submissive kinds.

Cut 1 wiu not write any more about fish, for tear of losing my reputation for truth and veracity. I only intended to illustrate A fact which is that courage is the best mark of amatocracy in animal life. Courage of convictions, courage in duty marks the best type of manhood,' not only in war, but in peace. Galileo and Luther had it as strong; as did Lee and Jackson. It is force of character and will power ' that marks the , true aristocrat. ' Webster : and Clay and Calhoun weas typical aristocrats.

If i( were not .so Congress would agree on a eommisiou from bdtb parties to frame a tariff bill and- surer bill that would' give the nation peace and take these great national questions out of partisan politics.

We are apt to forget, too, that the high prices queted for-the bonds this week in London are the measure of the influence of out backers and ol the marvel they have wrought rather than of the credit of our bonds in the money markets of Europe before the contract was signed. The last bond sale made to our banks demonstrated clearly enough the futility of our home market as a dependence for relief; while the subsequent large loss of gold from our visible supply by export and hoarding, together with the ruling rates here for foreign exchange, give added proof that we were helpless without our foreign connection and that it is the source of our present suoceas and strength. -c,--'..-,; There is still further evidence, reflect ed in part in the reoord of prices, of the change to a lower level that had recently taken place in the worth of our - bonds and was iu progress up to the date of the syndicate contract. Congress, it will be remembered, had been engaged, day by day,, ever since the current ses sion began, in work destructive of the government credit.-; We do not say that such was its intention, but that was the effect Note the facts as they have de veloped. On December 1 and on De cember 8 (the latter being the day con gress came together) the old govern ment coupon 4 per cents were quoted at 116 bid ; on December 5 and Deeembar 11 there were' sales -at that figure. Thereupon a decline set in which was slow burs continued until the price had dropped to 113 bid January 4. During the rest of that month down to very near the closing day at the public re mained hopeful and there was no change in prices but in the last week of January the week when we stated in this column that "the apathy and ac tual hostility which congress had ex hibited of late with reference to any legislation . tending to reinforce and strengthen the power of the treasury to keep our gold dollar, our. silver dollar and our paper dollar convertible, has been the strangest and most unaooount- able attitude ever shown by any legisla tive body of which we have the history" mat weeai ue uecune set in; again, the bid price on February 1 of these same bonds being only IU 5 8a loss in government credit since congress met of 4 8-8 points, -si V i V That was the eventful week. We set forth last Saturday the peril in which our standard of values was and the plucky feeling which prevailed January 81 and on the morning of February 1, exposing to loss, if not speedily arrested. the last dollar of the government s gold rest-r.-e. ' It is needles to rehearse those matters again. The condition of the government credit as expressed in the market value ot its securities is the point af interest now. ' The negotiations witn the syndicate were concluded Feb ruary t.i On February 7, the day be fore thb signing of the- contract, there were no sales of the old coupon govern ment 4s; the. bid pnoe was down to 111 ax points off from the sales the week congress oame together, and if an iuvwajt uau ai uum. liiiio prosjaeu a round lot ot government 4s for sale we hazard; nothing iu saying he would have had to accept a considerably lower figure than the quotation named. Now that is what congress did i but, not by any means all the evil its action would have wrought had the bond contract been delayed another week. What has the president done f When he saw that hope or help from obngress was gone he sought out those whose credit was second, to none in the world virtually got thai indorsement and made the best terms be could with them for re plenishing the government gold - re serve, i Thereby he rescned us from great disaster, and besides that, his ac tion ana the names of those whose co operation bis action had secured, moved the taint from the government credit and baa brought back the once oi its old per oent conns to us, and no doubt the price will soon- be where it wss when the session of congress began But some say that the syndicate has made a large lot of money out of the transaction, as if Uiatwereblameworthy.. Its work is not dona yet Besides no one has the balance sheet. We know as little as others about the amount though we presume it will show-e profit when the syndicate undertaking compkHed, for the members of it are shrewd men and are in business like the rest of us for that purpose. Of one fact we are certain they have done a mar velous work in saving our standard of values, and in restoring the credit of the government by coming to its aid at a moment," extreme need, and we cannot 'see why under such circum stances they are not entitled to their gains.' , Those who purchased govern ment bonds in the time of war made a very larjre - profit we always thought they deserved it They bought the bonds at a time when the people who afterwards criticised them were as a rule at least half in sympathy with those who , were end.-avoring to disrupt the government.- ihe ponlion of the pres ent svndu-ate ami I ir crthca ia not art very different; the deference oonista mainly in the fact tli at t' a we we a lighting for the govern in--i t we are fighting for our is now 1 of values, Some insiat lloit t: might have mails bott r I we deny.- It is very o we said is"t week, wlu comhinaiiiui of capital w o-rtch of. the government l ue eff(Hl what the r V'. u i KUt tht a IkiikI o con .iiy for gold would hav I nt 'lout . - - tins 'd hb riwawciAt.
