COO hinls. taken at .liftVr.ut or in of over sea ns of the year, have already hten analyzed and the contents determined, while some lL'.OoO are still unexamined. The results in some cases have been remark a'hle. showing in several notable instan ces that popular ideas regarding the in junoiis tffects of certain birds were wholly mistaken, ami that they have been the victims of an unjust Jer.-ecu ti-in. This has U-en found to be espt c i ii!v the case with hawks and owls, br the slaughter of which many states give hounties. lYnhsylvania in two years gave over loo,000 in hawk and owl bounties. Kxaminations of the stoin aelis of these hirds proved conclusively that ninety-live percent, of their food was ti- ld mice, grasshoppers, ciickets, etc., which were infinitely more injur ions to crops than they. It was found that only five kinds of hawks and owls ever touched poultry, and then only to a very limited extent A bulletin now about going to press on t tie crow also shows that bird is not so !!ack as he has l t n painted by the farmers. The charges against the crow were that he ate corn and destroved the gus and poultry and wild birds. Kx animations of their stomachs showed that they ate obnoxious insectsand other animals, and that although twenty five percent of their food is corn it is almost waste corn picked up in the fail ami winter. Another plea for the hawks ami owls is that they are useful in de stroying the sparrows, which become a pest where they are numerous. It is In tter to let these hirds kill the sparrows thai: to teach boys cruelty by jermitting t iem to shoot and maim them. Nor in the liistory of l'l-nnsylvania. says the Washington mtn-mt, can he found a legislature that is making a more disgraceful record than the pres ent one, so overwhelmingly Kepuhlican that the minority makes no figure in the count. ne thing stamps the infa my of (he present Session. Witii reve nues declining and the necessity appar ent of making great reductions in tin appropriations for the public schools or the benevolent institutions of t'ne state, instead of economizing, the legislature from the stait entered on a career of ex travagaiit anil useless appropriations.. It adopted a system of throwing away money not countenanced in this state even with the treasury Overflowing. We mean by tiie increase of saiancs and tin creation of new and useless ulliecs. The new otlices created carry with them sal aries amounting to nearly ?:;oo,tioo. Among the great curiosities in this line was the bill pensioning i: judtres who are ready to retire on full salaries for life to make room for 1:'. ambitiou Ke publican lawyers. The whole pen sion scheme, vicious in principle and corrupt in practice, was for no othei purpuse than to make plaoes for parti sans. We challenge the production of anything like it in any state of the L'nion, New York did try a judicial pension tor a it w years, but the abuses inseparable from any tension system induced the late constitutional convention in that state to stamp it out root and branch.

Ax oilicial dispatch from Tokio re ceived at tiie Japanese legation, at Wash ington. states that the ratifications of the treaty of peace between Japan and China were exchanged at Chifu mi Wed nesday. No change was made in the text of the treaty- as originally eonclud ed. Taking into account the recom mendation made by Russia, Germany and France, the Japanese government agreed to renounce permanent jH.sses sion of the Lain Tong peninsula on con dition that the arrangements regarding the terms and form of renunciation shall le reserved for adjustment between itself and the government of China. This latter stipulation is construed to mean that Japan will not surrender the penin.-ula until a suitable indemnity shall have U-en paid, and that it may even he agreed letwecn Japan and China that the possession of Tort Arthur itself will le retained by the Japanese for a term of years exttuditig Uyond the date when the indemnity has lieen paid in full, thus assuring to Japan not alone the payment of the indemnity itself, but also suilieie.'it time .to safeguard her self against anything like a war of re prisal. Invfstioatiox has resulted in showing that California is being Hooded with cheap Japanese labor, every steamer from the Orient, Honolulu, and Victoria bringing laborers in large numl rs in violation of the Alien Contract Lalor law. Within the last year about 10,000 Japanese have found employment on farms anil in vineyards, and white farm hands are idle by thousands.
