Hence the purchase. a im:i'i:ti vi; ami icniis svsrnvi. it will be prudent for the n-xt Legislature at the outset to make c'aang. s in the methods, or lack of methods, for engrossing bills which both branches may pass. For years the engrossing cf bills has been an unsatisfactory feature. Muc'.f of the penmanship is very inferior and the general execution of the work nor creditable to a State which has so Kood a school system. If any one doubts this statement he will change his view after consulting the engrossed acts of the Legislature for any legislative year. The laws should be engrossed by those who are good penmen and have written sufficiently to remove from their work the suggestion of school copy books. The engrossing of Congress and in most of the States is done; under the direction of the secretary of state, which Is better in that it secured a responsib.e head for the work. Tho foregoing observation is made because it appz-ars that another important bill was bungled in engrossment. Thv Wood medical Mil was amended In the Senate by adopting a clause giving the osteopaths recognition. Thus amended the bill was passed in the Senate and sent to the House. In the House two or three amendments were made, and as amended the bill was passed and sent to the Senate. As the bill was reported to the House as passed and sent to the Governor the only assumption that can be made is that the Senate adopted the House amendments. Otherwise the two branches did not pa?3 the same bill and that in the printed laws was not enacted as required by the Constitution. As printed the law does not contain the amendments adopted by the House. Such is the statu3 of the amenderl Wood medical act. Did the Senate concur In tha House amendments before finally passing the bill? If it did, whose neglect, willful or otherwise, was It that those amendments were not incorporated In the bill? If the Senate did not concur In the House amendments how did that body pass its ordinal bill without the Houpe amendments? These are important matters. The fair assumption is that the Senate concurred in the House amendments and then passed the bill, and that the clerks engrossing th bill omitted the amendments. The bill as engrossed, however, is the law, whether the Legislature enacted It" or some outsider Inserted one in lieu thereof and had it engrossed. All these errors and evils are the result of a vicious system of selecting clerks. In tho first place, qualification has nothing to do with the selection. Then, when the session Id half over the most of -the engrossing anel other clerks who may have learned something of their duties are removed In order that another lot of men may have a month's salary. Fitness, the importance of having tho decrees of the Legislature properly written out count for nothing In comparison with the giving of twenty men the chance to draw a month's salary. That is the cae now, and it has been the case for years. Ioth parties are alike responsible in putting the personal claims of twenty men for places, utterly regardless of fitness, above; the interests of all the re.t of the people of the State. What Is the remedy? Simply that tho engrossing be rut in charge of the secretary of state, as it Is in the general government and many of the States. This can be done by an act of the Legislature. tiii: cniNi:sn imiiimmtv. After several months of shilly-shallying. In which avarice and greed have been tho most conspicuous features, the L'uropean powers have agreed on 1.;:V.imoo francs, or about JJT.l.l .WO, as the proper figure for the Chinese indemnity. This represents tho price which China has to pay the Christian powers for sending armies to put down a popular Insurrection caused by the aggressive and overbearing conduct of foreigners and their brutal disregard of Chinese rights and traditions. Of course, the Insurrection had to be suppressed and the citizens of other countries In China had to be protected, but a few ounces of prevention In the way of antecedent conduct would have saved the cost of many pounds of cure in the shape of large military expeditions. China might well conclude that it is a pretty expensive sort of modern civilization that requires her to foot the bills for the Invasion and occupation of the country by powers which deliberately provoked the conditions that made the action necessary nnd whose "whole attitude," according to a recent letter of Jlishop Moore, of the M. H. Church, "has been Insolent and exasperating to a degree." Americans have reason to congratulate themselves that in all this contest of injustice and greed the United States has stood steadily In favor of fair treatment for China. To express it familiarly. Uncle Sam has been for "the under dog." The operations of American troops have been confined strictly to the protection of American interests. General Chaffee has not joined in any vindictive movements. He has held aloof from General Waldersee's punitive expeditions and from everything calculated to Intllet unnecessary punishment or humiliation on China. Of all the powers the United States I the only one that has won the gratitude of China. This will nu be forgotten. The action of the other powers In agreeing upon a lump sum as indemnity is in accordance with original suggestion from this government. It has resulted In a considerable reduction of the demand, which Is still too large. The apportionment of the lump sum among the several powers Is still u matter of some difficulty, but the American nlan covered that by suggesting that If It could not be agreed on by the powert It be left to The Ilajfue tribunal. As the Furopean ministers In China are all after the lion's share It Is probable they will wekurne so easy and so obvl atisly Just a solution of the difficulty as this. If it Is adopted it ivlll be the culmination of a. srrles of triumphs of American diplomacy In the Chinese trouble. Meanwhile, let us congratulate ourselves that tho withdrawal of American troops

from China is getting us out of bad company and a threatening complication.

The order of Jude Young, of Toledo, O.. restraining tho newspapers from publishing the evidence in the trial of Charles Foster for murder Is certainly a novel one. When, however, the reason for the order is ur.deisiood it will be admitted that it has forc. that reason being that four similar cases are to bo tried hereafter, and if the evidence in tills ease were generally rer-1 juries could not be- found to try the either. ui. the reading of th- evidence would prejueiiee those who would naturally be jurors. Ktiil. there is ground for doubting th it reading the testimony in a ease would gen erally affect public opinion unless it shou'd J i-.' of a cor cr.:.-ive character. One thing that judges wo'M bo Justified in doing would be to declare the giving of opinions respecting the result of the trial or commenting on testimony while the case is Icing tri"d an offense to be punished as contempt of court. Ne one is frightened because it is announced that there will be considerable shipments of gold to Kurope in the near future. The period of such solicitude Is of the past. America has gold te lend the world just as (Jreat Pritain, Germany and France formerly had money to lend us. The gold balance is largely In our favor in the adjustment of the balance of our foreign traele. Money was never so plentiful. For loaning purposes it has lost half its Value in a elozen years. It is piling up in vaults and now goes to Furope because the United States has become a moneylending nation. Yet. In WX and the export of sold in any considerable quantity would have been regarded as evidence of pending financial troubles. FROM HITHER AND YON. DiMuppetinteil. Puck.

Special to th Indianapolis Journal. R VANS VILLF, Ind., May 2. The twelfth annual session of the Indiana Union of Literary Clubs met in Grace Church this morning promptly and got clown to work immeeliately. The reception last night waj of the heartiest kind, and the delegates seemed well pleased with the outlook for a profitable gathering. Mr. Evans Woollen, of Indianapolis, read a paper that had been prepared by Prof. Emmerich, ef the Inuianapedis Training School, on "Manual Training in the Public Schools." It was u thoughtful paper, and one that was diseusseel favorably at the round tible. A paper that attracted -much attention was by Mrs. Wilford Hickman, of Bedford, on "Fads in American Education." The writer discussed the many tads and methods that have grown up in the schools of to-day, charging that the school telucation of today is nothing more thin a gloss over oi too many subjects for the children to absorb. Mbs Margaret Holland, of Vineennes, in a paper on "What Shall We Give Our Children to Read?" thought the daily newspaper should be eliminated. In the discussion that followed Mrs. Heberd. of Princeton, warmiy defended the newspupers. on the ground that they were aa education in themselves. 1'rof. French, of Chicago University, lectured to-night in the Grand Opera Ilouie on "The Analogy Between Composition in Literature and Composition in Art." "COUUNA" OX BIRDS. Editor of Recreation Talks Entertainingly Student. G. O. Shields, editor of Recreation, spoke this afternoon on "Bird Lovers and Bud Destroyers." The High School wa3 dismissed to give the pupils an opportunity to listen to him. His address, in part, follows: "The destruction of bird life in the Uniteei States during the past fifteen years has been such as to alarm every lover of nature. Three years ago W. T. llornaday. director of the New York Zoological Society, sent out a circular containing a series of eiuestlons aiming to ascertain the facts as to the decrease ef birds In the whole countrv. This circular was sent to well-known naturalists and scientists in all of the States and Territories and the responses were prompt, comprehensive and complete. These were carefully tabulated, and the results show that the average decrease in bird life throughout thirty States was 4i per cent. In some localities the destruction had, of course, been much greater than in others, and the rate of decrease varies from V) per cent., in a few States, to as high as 75 per cent, in others. The causes enumerated by the observers were: First, the market hunter, whose aim is to supply birdskius and plumage for millinery purposes; second, sportsmen and so-called sportsmen: third, the small boy with his cheap gun; fourth, another class of small boys who rob nests for the purpose of making cedlectlons of eggs and nests. "For a hundred years past it has been the custom of all men and boys who go into the woods and fields with guns to kill all kinds of birds In mere wantonness, or under the pretext that the hunters needed the practice in order to improve their skill in shooting. The fashion of wearing birds on bonnets Is comparatively modern. Our mothers and grandmothers rarely thought of such a thing. They were content to decorate their headgear with ostrich plumes, or with dowers, lace, ribbons etc. It remaineil for the women of the last decade of the nineteenth century to discover that song bireis and so-called plumage birds could be utilized for this purpose. WHEN THE WOODS WERK ALIVE. 'There is probably not a person within the sound of my voice who cannot remember the days when the woods, the fields, the etrcharels and the shade trees about their homes, whether In tewn or country, were radiant with the colors and musical with the songs of native bireis. What is the condition to-day? In many localities where birel life was abundant ten er twenty years ago, you may walk or elrive all elay, ami scarcely see a elozen birds of any kind. Twenty-five years ago I spe-nt several weeks along the West coast ef Florida. There" were myriads of birds everywhere. Some- ef these- were such as spent their summers here in the North, but a great majority e: thetn we re white e gr ts and Ibises, roseate spoonbills, blue herons and other tropieal er semi-tropical bireis. Se veral speeies of these bear what are familiarly known as the 'fatal plumes;' that Is the long, elelicate, graceful shafts fnun which elepe nei the fine, ravy fibers that are so eagerly sought us op i ments for women's hats. "I am receiving re-ports fvm nil portions of r lorlda. nearly eve ry day, to the effect that scarcely one of the.e birds can be found anywhere-. Ever since I visited that country, I have heard every year evf nie-n who have' hunted the forests and the everglades industriously, all through each winter, collecting and shipping these- plumes to the manufacturing milliners In the East. Recently the price of the 'fatal plumes' has reached ?lä nn ounce-. Think how smugly such an edter must appeal to the cupidity of a market hunter. There are thousand of lazy. werthle-ss hunters throughout the country who would rather shoot game birds or plumage bireis at a prodt eif '. ce-nts a elay. than werk on a farm or chop wood, or work In a lumber camp or a sawmill, or at uny other gooel, hore-st occupation, at $- n day and boarel. These men like what they term the 'fun' of killing things. Then It is much easier to lie around In the woods, or on a marsh with a gun; or even to tramp all elay and get an occasional shot than It H to fedlow theplow, or hoe corn, or swing an ax, nr pull a crosscut saw. "One ef these plume hunters recently s.ilel to a newspaper reported: 'The firt two years I hunte-il in lower California, where there were' thousands of egrets. On some days I usee! to get as many as twenty egrets or herons, but they are now rapidiy grewlng scarce. Generally 1 get three or four succe ssful shots at the frightened birds lefore they get out ef range, for they are so easily frightened that they are powerless with fright for the moment and make goeid targets of themselves. Sometimes we? ggt as many as fifteen bjrds in one aftert.eKtni Years ago. when egrets and herons were plentiful. 1 have killed nine bir.ls m as many shots, before they got out of leach And all this bird butchery was earrled ein in order that vain women reicht be nit if y themselves. "A so-caiie 1 factory. In which hlrd skim we. re prepared for women's headge-ir. w e burned at Wautaeh. L. l.. a year ago, aim the owner reported the loss of hV'' skins ef s. t gnils. 2'. Mt wings of either bir'... and le.eon heads of birds. The money value ed these was placed at $.' The owner further states! that one skin hunter In his emplcy ba l killed Iii.' birds In a single season. It was a luckv fire' that burneei that man out. ami 1 wish a similar f ite might befall every man who engages m this Infamous trnfäc. REVOLUTION OF SENTIMENT. "Put happily greit revolution has set In. A lew je-ars ago a handful of nable men and women raised their voices against this inhuman slaughter. They realized that it was a crime- to destroy these beautiful creatures, whbh God had placed here to leiutiry the landscape, and to make muideal the byways and highways, either for purposes of sport, or for elecoratlng women'. wearing apparel These men and women proclaimed their sentiment in public

and private, through the press, the pulpit and in our legislative halls. Good people everywhere were attracted by the voices of these reformers, and their ranks grew rapidly. The result Is that to-day nearly every Slate In the Union has laws prohibiting the killing ef song, insectivorous or piumag2 birds at any time of the year. Even the Congress of the United States has come to the rescue of the bir.ls, and that grand old Iowa statesman, the Hon. John F. Lacey. began a battle for the songsters. For six years he laboreel to secure favorable action in Congress on his bill to save the birds. The result of this granel work is the Lacey bir.l law. the most imiort3nt measure ever aelopted In tnis or in any other country, for the protection of bir.ls. "There are a few States that have gone so far as to pass laws prohibiting the sale, or the wearing, or the having in possession of the skin or plumage cf any song, insectivorous or other harmless birds tor decorative purposes. "The Audubon societies, the America! Ornithological Union and the League f American Sportsmen, of which I have the honor to be president, have been crystallized as a result of the reform movement, started, as 1 have sUd, by a handfui vi men and women, ten years ago. 'ihe enactment of laws, however. Is only the first st. p in a crusade which is aimeel to save ev.r birds Rom extermination. The next thi.ig is to enfeirce these laws. The heuo- s et many of our birds are in the fore -s. v e a the great tidewater marshes, or in the everglades anel swamps or Florida and other Southern States, v.nere few people live. Hence, the unprincipled! market hunter may ply his vocation in these wild re;ons with little danger of detection. hat. w ? must do tei save the birds is to go en wi:n our work of creating public sentira-'Ut ani of educating the people, especially the boys and girls. A great philosopher once said: 'Give me the boys, and you have the men. anel in twentv years I will rule the wolle.. That statement might be paraphrased today in this form: 'Give me the boys 'ana girls, and vou may have the men and women, and in twenty years I will show vou fields and forests and orchards as abundantlv peopled with native songsters and beautiful plumage bird as they were twentv years ago.' "It then becomes the duty of the men and women of to-day not only to condemn the reckless slaughter ejf birds, the destruction of their nests and the collection of their eggs, but to create in the minels of the voung and rising generation this same kind of sentiment. Teach the children te love the birds and you will then have stopped them frem killing the birds and robbing their nests. "BIRD DAY" FOR THE SCHOOLS. "The public schools in many States have set apart one day in each year which is known as Arbor day and which is devoted to the study and planting of trees. Nowlet us set apart one elay in each month to be known as bird day. On such days the children should be taken en masse to the woods or to the fields, where they can have an opportunity to study bird life. The teachers should be required to call the attention of the children to the beauty and the utility of each bird found; to instill into the minds of the youngsters a love for birds and th? need of carefully protecting them and their nests instead of destroying them. "A teacher in Michigan writes me thus: 'After a talk on bird protection one morning I asked the pupils how many would do their best tej protect desirable birds at all times. Every one eif my pupils raised a hand, and in a manner which meant something for the coming generation.' "The Hon. Grant M. Morsre, state game warden of Michigan, has recently issued his annual report, and in it has printe.l this beautiful sentiment: 'If it be true that to win the secret of a weed's plain heart gives only a clew to the hidden things of the spiritual life how much more the consclent and reciprocal love which is borne between the human family and domesticated wild life must widen the sphere of spiritual sympathy. This at last reaches the eternal senm-e of all lite and love and finds indeed that "one touch of nature makes the world kin." ' All honor to the man who first uttered that beautiful sentiment. "It is not my purpose to lay more blame on fair women for the disappearance of birds than is her due. No man on earth can more fully and fearfully realize the crimes that have been committed by men under the name of sport than I do. In my dual capacity as the editor of a magazine devoted to outdoor sport and as president of the League of American Sportsmen I get reports every day of the slaughter of birds and of wild animals by so-called sportsmen that make me blush for my fellow-men." Mr. Shields here gave instances of wild fowl and other birds. Continuing, he said: "I have received frequent reports of one or two men killing 10) to 2.0 robins in one dav in Virginia or the Carolinas or some other Southern State. I have frequently received reports of two or three men killing anvwhere from 2iK to 1XX) reed birds in a day on some of the Southern swamps. This is the beautiful red-winged blackbird, or bobolink, of the North. There is a peisslble excuse for a man killing ducks, or prairie chickens, or quail, or woodcock, or snipe and calling it sport because these birds are strong, rapid flyers. The flight of the two latter spec! -s Is eccentric, and the birds, being small, are hard to hit. It requires a quick eye, a skillful hand and keen judgment to stop one of them In its llight. But what shad we say of the man who feeds the ducks until they settle to his bait In great numbers and who then mows them down by hundreds? MURDER INSTEAD Ol SPORT. "What shall we say of the man who kills a mourning dove or a robin, or a redwinged blackbird. In the name of sport? Personally, I would as soon kill a baby as one of these birds, and the time will come when nil true sportsmen will agree with me in this sentiment. Throughout all the Seiuthern States the mourning elove is regarelcd as a game bird, but. while Its flesh Is edible. It is too beautiful, too Innocent anel too valuable to be destroyed under the name of sport etr fer food purposes. "Another evil which we have to combat is the horde's ef Italians, Bohemians and other ignorant fore igners, who go emt eif every big city en Sunday mornlrgs, armed with cheap shotguns, and kill every bir.l thev can find. Thy even murder gold finches, orioles, scarlet tanagers. me-adow larks, blue birds and everything that Hies. These all go Into the pot at home and are eaten with the gusto eif a savage. We are' aelxocatlng the passage of laws in all States to prohibit Sunday shooting ami to tax guns. Personally. I would like- to see a tax of J5 or $10 placed on e very gun In the land. This would cause the de: true-tic n of many of the guns which these heathen use and wetuld stop this meth.ul of slaughter almost entirely. "Some sportsmen get up and howl that this taxing of guns Is un-American; that It Is unjust to the poor man. It Is one of several pairs eif evils between which wo have to choose. It eeught not to be necessary to license guns In this country; but we must license them in1 order to save the lives ef our song and insectivorous birds. "Another e ustom of so-called sportsmen which makes me blush every time I think of it is the shooting of tame pigeons from traps. Personally I would Just as noon shut up an old hen In a trap, shoe) her out and sho.tt her to eleath as to put one of those tame pigeons In and kill It when It comes out. Yet there are hundreds of men in this eenintry whe consider It gre-at spert to shoot a hundred ef th-se tame pigeons from a trap In a elay. Theae men are not worthy the name of sportsman. Mod of the shoeitlng Is elone simply and purely for memey, altheuigh ostensibly under the name of sport. Large wagers are frequently made on the result of a contest, and In nearly all cases e ach shooter deposits a certain sum eif money before the match begins. The hlghe-st score takes the bulk eif this; the next highest a certain percentage of It, and so on. There are bills before the legislatures of three States to prohibit this kind of butchery, and it will be but a fewyears before puidle .opinion will compel the legislature of all the States to enact such laws. "There are people who tell us this matter of blnl pretectlon is all a e-uestlon eif sentiment; tnat there is no utility In it. Grant the truth eif this assertion tW a moment. The creation and the maintenance and the defense eif the flag which floats over yonder, courthouse Is also purely a matter of sentiment, but where is the- man I emphasise the word man hi the Unde'd States who would tied lay down his life fer that flag? If a representative eif any foreign nation Insults that flag, on the high seas er elsewhere. Ids fatherland Is held responsible, and more than once we have compelled neighboring sovereigns to apologize for some Insult offered odr flag, and to salute it before withdrawing our battleships from thdr ports. And the sentiment which says, 'Thou shalt not kill a songbird In wantonness, e.r under the name' of sport.' is equally noble, manly anel gedlike with that which savs. 'Thou sfcalt not Insult the flag of this Union.' NOT ALL SENTIMENT. "But the crusade in behalf eif our bird Is not all a matter of se-ntlment. All good people- believe every living creature was put here for some special purpose. Hence every bird that wings Its way to yoneler forest was put there for a purpose. Nearly all of

1 thefce bird destroy Insects, or snakes, or

vermin of some kind. Quails have been kille el about the wheat fields w hose craws were found rilied with chinch bugs. Prairie chickens have been killed on the prairies whose craws were rilled with grasshoppers. The ruffled grouse, which inherits the eb-ep woods, Is a persist.-nt en.my to bugs, beetles and grubs eif various kinels. Even the crow, which is despised by many unthinking farmers. Is a persistent grubber ami worm eate r. Some of the- greatest scientists in the worid have pre.iicted that if all the bird life on this continent ware destroyeel the continent would within a few years become uninhabitable by reason of the great armies of bugs and worms which would overrun It. "I have saiil spoilsmen are e-.-ually -to blame with women for the rapid eiisappea ranee of eu;r bireis. I am eh voting ray life to the predection. not only of song and insectivorous birds, but of game birds. In Uder to save these fiom extermination it is necesary te curtail the privileges of the sportsmen to a minimum. I am. tluret"re. advocating the enactment eif laws shortening the legal seasons for shooting to sixty days in each year, and limiting toe number of birds which any man may kill in a elay to ten or fifteen at most, and the numb, r which he may kill in a season to fifty, eir Pt at most. The greatest need, however, is te stop th? sale of game. Such a piojoition as mat may :nc;t with disfavor ia tin- minds of many good people in this audience . No el.uibt you all enjoy a hot bird occasionally and if it were not an absolute liee.ssity "to prohibit the sale of game I should certainly be glad that you might all have the privilege; but all mn who have s'tudied this epiestion of bird piotection carefully agree that we must submil to one ef two propositions: MUST STOP SALE OF GAME. "We must steip the sale of game, or see a elozen of the most important species of game birds wiped off the face of the earth within the next live- years. Note for instance the prairie chicken. Twenty ytmrs ago this bird was abundant throughout the northern tier eif counties of your State and all over Illinois. You might then easily have found a dozen, or perhaps fifty covks in a day's walk through the tiel.ls; or even in a etay's einve along country roads in June, July, August or ocptembJr. Later in the fall, or in the winter, you could readily see pae-KS of to v b.r.is fee-uu g on l ie corn shocks, or sailing across the prairies. You may put in all ot next June, Juiy. -August and Septcmb.-r searchng through your noithcrn counties, or thiougn Illinois, and I doubt it you will find half a doztn covies. You may spenel all of next ran and winter hunting tor these birds through the same legions, and you certainly would not lind a pack ot hrty anv-whe-re, possibly not tweniy-rive. And what is true of the prairie chicKen may be said of the quail, the woodcock, the. ruifed grouse, the wooeiduck urnl several species of wild uucks. A few years ago the wild turkeywas abundant ail through the timbered portions of your Stale anei of minors. Today the lust hunter in either State could not lind ten of these grand bireis in a month ot persistent hunting. 1 doubt it iie could Mud e;ne. The wild turkey is the king of American game buds; yet he has been entiiely estei minuted in several States where he was formerly abundant, anu he will disappear from the continent in live yeanmore unless more stringent measures are taken for his protection. I repeat, then, we must stop the sale of game in order to save these species from utter extermination. , "It is not the real sportsman who is wiping out the game. It is the game hog and the market hunter. We must legislate these bird destroyers out of existence. We must also abolish the game eh-aler, and wo are doing it just as rapidly as p.ssible. The League of American Sportsmen has alone secured the passage cd laws In a dozen States during the past winter which prohibit the sale of game at all times, and wo shall have such laws on the statute books o" every State and Territory in the Union in five years more. "it seems strange- that the birds should have to appeal to 'the man behimi the gun' to save their lives. Yet such is the case toelay. The League of American Sportsmen is doing as much to prote-ct song anel insectivorous birds as game birds. In tho past year it has prosecuted and convicted Öli"- men for violations of various game. anel fish laws, and a large percentage of these men were prosecuted for killing song and insectivorous birds. "This league secured the passage of the Iaeey bird law. Mr. Lacey will tell you so himself if ou ask him. I have said he fought for six years in the halls of Congress to secure the enactment of his bill for the pr.itection of birds. This leagu v.-a 3 organlzeel in the spring of lvis, but did not acquire sufficient strength and numbers te' really make itself felt until the latter part of 1"W. Then It went to work for Mr. Lacey's bill, anel It brought such a power te bar em all the members of both houses eif Congress that they finally e3ecided to pass this Mil. Many members told Mr. Lacey that no measure Introduced in Congress during their official life had brought them so many letters and telegrams as his bird bill. When this bill came to a vote In the House there were only eighteen votes against it. and there was not a single one ngalr.st it in the Senate. This shows what a great body of eletermlned men can do when they put on their war paint." "HIS DAYS 'ABE SHORT."
