While this is uot by any means liter- ally true, nor intended to be so taken, it is true that denuding the northern lands of their foresis is a most fruit- ful source of the annual floods which visit us by throwing quickly into the streams the water that formerly was retained in the soil of the forests and gradually released in myriad of little springs which found their ways to the rivers slowly Hcoste a On ‘‘arbor day’’ the city of Pitts- burg will this year, it is said plant 50,000 trees. The custom of setting apart one day inthe year for the planting of shade trees is a beautiful one and should be extended every- where. The originator of the idea was a benefactor of mankind, for millions of beautiful trees wll be casting grateful shade on the high- ways, gracing the grounds of school and other public buildings and beau- tifying and enhancing the value of private property a few fyears hence, which but for this custom would not be there. ; AcconbDinG (to the official records in has sent to Cuba during the the existing revolution no less than 198,047 troops. ‘The same records show 22,731 deaths and 22,000 re- turned home, sick, When due al-}}, lowance is made for the number of soldiers whose deaths Gen. has failed to make note of in his ef- fort to deceive the government as to Weyler the progress made, and deduct'25,- 000, said to be in the hospitals now, we may reasonably doubt if he has an effective force of 100,000 at his command. Thirty-five thousand well armed Cubans would be more S¢hin-ematch for this number of ill trained, ill paid, ill clad, ill fed Span- ish boys. Acconrpine to Dun's review, ‘the volume of business of the country is s‘ill much below that in former years of prosperity,’’ *‘though it is stead- ily increasing ‘The sick man re- gains bis strength by little and little, day by day, but when he bas conva- lesced for a.sufficient time he is as strong as ever he was, provided only the cure was radical enough. 80 it is with the business situation, It is getting better day by day, and will some of these days be as good as it ever was and it will not be long either.

But the suggestion of our morning con- temporary that the dam be made at Broad street can be vastly improved .on by making a water gate at Sixth, where we have already a street made across the creek, and making another small fill at Bachman street, This will shorten the route to the business part of town, as compared with the plan suggested, and accommodate a large number of persons and several factories that would not otherwise be so well served. This would the desired ends much better than serve the other plan, and would cost less than halfas much. No doubt the factories and railroads interested would contribute to the cost of an improvement that would be of so much service to them and to the eity, Waa is an expensive diversion and with her revenues pledged for all they’| are worth, her people impoverishec by voluntary loaus, her paper money discredited and depreciated, with a daily charge of $300,000 for her Cu- ban army alone and perhaps ha‘f as much for that in the Philliphine Is- lands, besides immense expenses of her navy and ordinary expenses of civil government, Spain is in the midst of dangerous breakers. That she should be able to continue either war for any considerable time seems impossible, It is believed, therefore, that a crisis in Cuban affairs is ve near at hand, and that the issue will be in favor of the Cubans there can be little doubt. In this state of af- fairs it would appear the height of folly for Spain to decline to listen to the overtures looking to a sale of the island, which made through Secretary If she can get a few millions for the island at this time it will tide her over a dangeruus place and possibly ena-| her to lands, It may look with faver on the proposi-| tion. have been recently Sherman. able save the Phillipine Is- 1s therefore believed she Wuen the McKinley bill was be- fore congress it was set and abused by the Democracy as a measure calculated upon bur- to “whose bear the purden of the government revenues weigh down the poor man made to easterD similar prej- udice of the people in this manner ia the and a lot more By playing upon the betore the election following, rvere enabled to ride into They immediately set about repealing the law, This they accomplished and substituted a law that brought power. | unparalleled distress on the labor of the country in behalf of which they had shed so many crocodile tears. | Democratic supremacy and hard times have been synonimous iu the It criticisms history of this country, there- fore matters little what they may pass on the pending bill Their theories are thoroughly credited before the people, and they dis will be compelled to witness the re- juvenation of our industries under a protective tariff. compelled to keep hands off the tar- iff for many years to come, Tuene bas bi a remarkable in- crease in the production of aluminum in the United States within the last They will also be + free trade. days pass. ‘The stronger it gets the| pound, To 1891 the price had fallen | this to $8, and the production of that year amounted to 168,000 pounds. The production of 1896 was 1,300, 000 pounds and the price had fallen to forty cents per pound. The re- duction in price is not altogether the result of the increased production by any means, the chief factor being new discoveries by means of which the metal is much more cheaply ex- tracted from the soil than formerly. This great wetal isthe most abund- ant, perhaps, of all the metala, not- excepting iron, being found abund- aatly throughout the country almost all clays, while its properties are most valuable.

Let the people of Paducah put their shoulders to the wheel, and the future great city is assured. Nothing stands in the way of a large development in Paducah but the lethargy of its capital. MR. DOLLIVER’S SPEECH. Mr. Dolliver, of Iowa, a member of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives, covered himself with glory and made 4 reputation in a day which places him in the front rauk of debaters in the House. His points are made with a-clearuess and precision that carries We make th following extracts from his speech which we consider well worth a care- ful reading by everybody who is interested in the conviction. and consideration greatest question before Congress and the people. Mr. Dolliver said: “In the early stages of the tariff controversy it was the custom of the mercanti'e classes to push the farmer forward to the front of the battle for The farmer of the United States got out of that line of bate two generations ago; and for fifty sears he has been the most resolute supporter of the protective tariff sys- tem, “He stood by the side of Henry Clay throughout his great career, aud he was fovnd with William Me- Kinley in the decisive contest of the campaiga, [Applause on che Republicau side.] On the very day when the millionaires of the Rocky mvuuvtaing Were riding in their carn- ages to the voling place to give in their ballots fur the poor man’s money the farmers of the Mississippi valley, weary and burdened under the weight of four miserable years, walked in ast ‘the rain to the polling places and vast their ballots for the invegrity of American business and the tariff icy of 1890, [Applause on the yublican side. } “The appeal made to them was a masterpiece of shiftless and unseru- pulous politics. No such effort was ever before made to capture the pas- sions and prejudice of burdened and troubled men, But the farmers of the Mississippi valley again vindi- cated the credit of ‘the American farmer by choosing rather to suffer villiction with the people that pay their bills than to endure the advant- ages of 16 to 1.(Laughter.)

What has actually happened may be stated ina few plain words and figures—10 |000,000 sheep driven to the gh ter, 80,000,000 pounds of Amer- | ican wool displaced in our own mar- | ket, the importation of cloth multi- plied by two, half the woolen mills Jidle and locked up and the other bh: Jon scant wages and skort time.

The decision handed. down by the Supreme Court of the United States States vs. the Trans-Missouri Freight Association takes rank at once as one of the more important decisions | rendered by that tribunal. It is in line with the so-called granger decis- ions, which rested, specifically, upon the legislation uf Lilinois in restraint) of railway extortion, It 1s true the} legislation in this case is an act of| Congress, but at bottom the prin-| ciple is the same, It is an instance} of evulution. ‘The decision of this court resort is What the anti-trust | of act last of and| git, will ements its practical effect, itis the be to require all trailic between railroads, whether freight or pastenger, te fix rates to be submit- ted to the interstate commerce com- mission. If this proves to be the case it will lift that body into very} great importance. Thus far it bas accomplished little; but now it bas in ta great career of usefulness, reer not unlike that of the rail- dof Illinois, ad of on # pros aca road aad warehouse b only on a national ins’ state scale. This suit was fought by the rail- road interest on the ground, prima- rily, that the anti-trust law of 1890 did not apply to railroads, that they were under the interstate commerce act, and for that reason were exempt from the operation of the latter law. The act of 1890, it laimed, was designed to reach the beef trust, the standard Oil Company and that class of combines. The court holds that ‘both statutes may stand, as neither conflicts with the other””’ The more general conclusion is that the ‘‘anti- trust act applies to railroads, and renders illegal all agreements which are in restraint of trade or com- merce."” It is refreshing to have the act of 1890 revivified. Under the Cleve- land administration it was a dead let- ter. In his last. annual message the President himself had the effrontery to tell Congress to let it alone—leave it to the several states. Without be- ing a direct rebuke of that policy, the decision amounts to that, for no- where is there any suggestion that the jaw is unconstitutional or inoperative. ‘The decision of the court was ren- dered by Justice Peckham, of New York, a very able lawyer. It was by no means unanimous. On the con- trary, no less than four of the jus: tices dissented, namely, Jus tices Field, » Shiras and White, the latter presenting the minor- ity opinion, The contention of the dissenters was that the agreement which gave rise to the suit was not } for Farmir Monday in the case of the United| * | dead, ap agreement to fix sates, but to dan newspaper of Berlin, saying that {olassity freights aud prevent an in: ANNOUNCEMENT. ‘The Sun Is authorized to announce 1.

Hence the agree- ment was not in restraint of trade or commerce, It will be observed that this raised a question of fact rather than law. The claim that an agree- ment which prevented increase or de- crease of rates without notice being given was not in restraint of com- merce seems to be an obvious mis- conception of the actual nature and effect of such a document. But the notable thing is that, according to the synopsis given by wire, the dis- senting justices do not controvert any of the law points made by the decision. The truth is that the Trans-Mis- souri Freight Association is only one of several attempts on the part of the railroads to prevent ruinous competi- tion, In the fierceness of the struggle for business the fight tends strongly, almost irresistibly, to a straggle for existence, But the protection re- quired is not to be found in private greemen’s, however cast iron. The power vested in Congress by the con- stitution to regulate interstate com- merce is the true source of remedial authority Instead of hoping to evade that authority the railroads Id invoke it. ‘The present Con- ought to and go the sl ilar session matter up carefully, profiting by gress, at its re take the whole over it first act was passed.
