THE EVENING STAR-|A Cizux Swozr. ~ WASHINGTON: It 18 said that the opposition cratic party to the Cleveland is taking am organic iffcuit to sectle upon a candidate ag Blaine continues co be the most coaspicuous ‘fgure on the other side. Mr. blaine’ hold the “semi-detachea” members of the party isso strong that It appears have some one on the democratic ticket wno can gather to his support the restless 3 g8 personally withia their own party have no such attractive power as this, Mr. Cleveland de mon- strated in 1886 his ability to call out of the repub- lican ranks a body of voters large enough to coun- terbaiance the serious depletion of the democratic rans caused by Mr. Biaine’s immense popularity. His pomination appears, therefore, to most of the Practical politicians a necessity in the present sitcation, Of his power or inexpadient to run second time, ts Governor Hill, of New York; but just wat att tude Mr. Hill will assume next fail ft 1s still too early to predict. Not until the local and state conventions have met in New York and the dele. gates to the national convention have been se lected, will Mr. Hill consent to show hie hand. It ‘Will be pretty definit-ly determined py that time whether the state Will go intothe convention as a solid body, or with two or three different minda If Mr. Hil shall have convinced himself that he an control a large enough part of the home dele. gation to sBow the delegates from other states ‘hac Mr. Cleveland cannot depend upon New York adsolutely at the polis, he will probably step to the front himself, not as a downright antagonist of the President's, but as an available “second choice.” ‘The two-third rule in democratic conventions leaves 8 good opening for such a candidate to pull throuzb, if things are manoged aright; and 4m the present case the work can be the more easfly accomplished by reagon of the position in which Mr. Cleveland finds himself, of being pre- cluded from asking for a renomination, or, indeed, from accepting one unless it 1s practically p. essed upon Bim. Doubtless the President’s recent tariff message will furnish an excuse for an attack upon him either before the national convention meets or in its sessions, founded upon the theory that the Northwest is, after all, more loyal to repub- Ucanism than to free trade, while the new South feels a vital interest in @ protective tariff, which may outweigh its traditional devotion to the name of democracy. $$ a ‘The bill introduced by Mr. White, of New York, im the House of Representatives Friday for the protection and administration of the public timber- lands Is without political significance in a partisan sense. It was prepared in accordance with the memorial adopted by the American Forestry Con gress at its latest session, and appeals to the patriotism and business instincts of the whole people, The bill institutes a commissioner of forests in the Department of the Interior. Its main object is to prevent the unscrupulous frauds perpetrated With regard to this property, to lessen the abuse and devastation of the public timber domain, and to provide a legal method by which the settlers, mniners aad others eugaged in Varlous industries in the western states and territories ta which the public Umber-laads are mostly situated, may Secure their wood supply. ‘This 18 accomplished by means of licenses, giving the right to cut on selected loations A clasaification of lands into timber-lands unfit for agriculture, agricultural lands timbered, and lands at the headwaters of streams or forest re. | serves is provided. ‘The functions of the commis. stoner of forests are distinctly defined; and, be- sides the central office, a thorough organization of @ local service with forest inspectors and rangers Ssoutlined. The appropriation asked for this im- Portant and much needed service is five hundred thousané dollars—a sum which does not seem large in comparison with the millions annually Voted tm aid of objects far less directly profitable to the tax payers of the country. —————— Tuere is a wide difference between the views set forth by the coal dealers and by disinterested ob- Servers respectively as to the effect of the Schuyl- | kill strike on market prices. It seems to be to the interest of the dealers to push the worst phases of ‘the situation tothe front, represent a famine as impending, and thereby create a reason for rais- ing quotations. As a matter of fact, however, the only effect of the strike thus far has been to get rid, at fair prices, of a surplus of coal already mined and waiting for a market, and to stimulate activity im other regions than ‘those directiy in- volved tp the labor troubles. One thing is certain: the mines cannot ll siop, for the idle miners de- pend for support upon tueir brethren who are still earning wages; and the demand for more men to handle 1a emergencies like the present! and, with their aid im getting out the almost exhaustless anthracite deposits along the middie Susque hanaa, there is no more cause for @ panic over the failure of the coal supply than Dresd famine when the wheat state or group of states ts hurt by and the rest of the grain-growing region 1s flour- Ang Lo an unparalleled degree. a 5 ‘The thirst of the average drummer for Was never shown more strikingly than in suit Drought by George H. Clarkson, a traveliieg man, against the corporation of Kansas City, Me., for $5,000 damages, to compensate him for the loss of a valuabie watch and chain, a pistol abd & quantity of cash, of which some local thief relieved him. His claim is that the city is responsible for the safety of the lives and property of citizens and strangers abiding within its gates, If, by any accident, he should chance toget a de- cision tn bis favor from the courts, it is dreadful to think of the avalanche of litigation which will descend upon the cities of Missourl. It would not, however, in the majority of cases, be difficult for the autborities to prove contributory om the part of the complataing sufferer.
