The s are but parts of one and the same problem, and on the proper solution of that problem’ depends not only the development of our prosperity, but its 1l intelligent men understand the im- portance of entering at once seriously upon the task of dealing with those issues in a scientific manner, and it is a matter of no little satisfaction that the National Government has given its aid in obtaining the data from which conclusions can be drawn as to the best methods of overcoming the difficulties in the way. As was expected, the story of the private soldier sent to prison by General Otis for writing a letter to the general has been explained by later information, and it appears the reason for his imprisonment is not that he wrote the letter but that he forged the names that were signed to it. The papers that have made the story an occasion for attacking Otis owe him an apology, but they won't give it. The war that Shakespeare knew may be the same article that is threatening in the Transvaal, but there is room to doubt it. The Bard of Avon wrote of the kind that had a wrinkled front. The Boers may be preparing to serve out that sort, but they have put whiskers on it to deceive somebody. —_ It will be noticed that, among the names of rail- road presidents declaring themselves in favor of doing away with the pass system Collis P.

The incident is closed, and Paris is now prepared to welcome the world to her great exposition and enter- tain the visitors with the most attractive show of har- mony on record.

The disease is costly to civilization and appalling | in its results, because it strikes at human life in its most useful period. The diseases of senility, which U‘md in the weakness of old age an invitation to at- | tack, strike at victims whose years are near accom- | plished. Society has benefited from their physicali strength and mental vigor, and, these being ex-| | bausted, being already invested for the good of the world, their call hence is a scene around which grati- tude for the past mourns sincerely, but society is not a | loser. “The young may die; the old must,” is the | statement of a physical fact, and not a cynicism. Medical science does its duty to the world by striv- ing to curb juvenile mortality. The odium of urban life is the frightful mortality of children, not the nat- ural passing of the aged. The strength of states is | undermined when the young die in masses. What is | sorrow to a family in which children perish untimely ally becomes to the commonwealth a menace. When vital statistics are carefully kept and the birth rate and juvenile death rate can be compared, the future of a state can be accurately predicted and the fall foretold. It is in this aspect that con- s invested with a peculiar terror, and herein is the interest of the state in its extirpation. It is a scourge of the young. The period of its assault lies in the twenty years between the ages of fiiteen and hour of i sumption e. This is the age of adolescence and accomplishment. e dynamic force of a nation is in its people between Not only is that the period of their best uscfulness, but it is the period in ! ess of their strength passes into !h:‘ Within that period are the pa- | n endurance needed in the nurture of the young.

The State makes such pollution a misde- | | meanor and lays upon it a heavy hand. But thc& State, as yet unawakened to the fact that pollution of | the air is easier than pollution of water, has no statute | against excretion of sputum in the street filled with | vital germs of consumption that are sure to reach the | air passages of unsuspecting hundreds, to find their | first lodgment and germinate in the larynx, produc- | ing that peculiar sore throat that foreruns consump- | tion, from there to spread and destroy the lung. The State provides inspectors to watch the moths that deposit germs in the bloom of fruit trees, whence i origin and progress of the bacilli of consumption are not widely different. | Of course a State quarantine raises a series of inter- esting legal questions. It is a restraint of personal freedom. If established its first case would take out a writ of habeas corpus, and the issue would go to Ijudicial trial. A decision would probably overthrow the quarantine, but it would greatly illuminate the problem and be of inestimable value in focusing | public attention upon its importance. e Hon. John Barrett, former Minister to Siam, is au- thority for the statement that Secretary Hay warned be careful of his utterances, the inference left to be deduced being that Barrett might unthinkingly let out a state secret or two. Let Secretary Hay be as- sured to the contrary. As long as Mr. Barrett pep- | pers the intellectual feast he offers with the liberal doses of the personal pronoun he has used so far on his tour the country is safe. THE WASTE OF THE FORESTS. OMETHING of gratification will be felt by all S who appreciate the value of our forests in the announcement that the Governrient has under- taken a thorough investigation of the forests on the national reserves with the intention of prosecuting all persons guilty of wasting them or illegally cutting timber from them. the investigation who has been at work in Washing- ton reports the discovery of extensive frauds car- ried out by timber companies under the forms of law and with such cunning as will seemingly - prevent their prosecution. The inspector in describing the operations of the frauds is reported to have said: “Prior to the establishment of reserves many thou- sands of acres of valuable timber lands were patented by logging and lumber companies. deeds the Government offered to give an equal acre- age of timber lands at other points, but neglected to set a date of exchange. These great companies at once put to work an extra force of men and by keep- ing them hard at work soon had their patent cleared of all timber; then under the law they presented the land to the Government, selecting in return the most words, they have been ‘double shooting the turn,” and One of the officers of the Government employed in | To such as held | INCE the proposition to qarantine consump- | material for parks.” | | | has fixed the license for such marriages at $1000, | astounded and horrified; | civiliz sue worms that penetrate and destroy the pulp.

Naturally they have taken advantage of the option to make all the profit possible without re- gard to the waste of the forests or the fairness of the exchange. While it is not likely anything can be done to prosecute past offenders in that way, it will be in the power of the Government to prevent similar frauds in the future, and that appears to be the intent of the in- vestigation. The work of prevention, moreover, can- not be undertaken too early, for, as the inspector “The forest reserves of Western. Washington are badly broken up, and it will take years of culti- vation and care before they are as good as those in the eastern part of the State, which were not so heav- ily patented when the law was passed.” The activity of the Government in this respect is the more gratifying because it is in line with the gen- eral movement for forest protection throughout the Union. Of course the National Government cannot act everywhere, but it can set an example to the States which those that are under the control of en- lightened legislators will follow. says: By way of preventing white men from marrying all the heiresses in the tribe the Chickasaw Legislature and the example might be followed with profit in New York to check the drain of rich girls from that city by titled Britons. lic opinion stand by their guns. President e rc—— GOVERNMENT IN ASIA, l Schurman of Cornell says ndw: “I consider it a pity that the Filipinos do not recognize that the best thing in the world for them would be to acknowl- edge American sovereignty.” When sovereignty has to be forced upon a people by conquest and arms, no matter if it appear to the sovereign the best thing in the world for the subjects, they never take it that way. Therefore it has to be itained over them by force. The sovereignty, of necessity, becomes a military despotism, and the slightest relaxation of military vigilance is at once met by an outbreak and armed resentment. We are going to put down existing resistance in the Philip- pines. There is no doubt of that, but when it is done we are over only the least of our troubles in that quarter. American contempt for what we regard as the inferior races was never more ive than now. | It seems to be an established trait in our national character. It is that sentiment which made our men | in the Philippines feel that the ives had none ol'] the rights of human beings on the soil where they | were born. Holding others and inferiors in subjec- tion has never yet deepened the noble characteristics of any people. The master has always degenerated | and the subject has always suffered. | In August, 1808, Presider irman said: “This | republic, whose soul is self-government, does not want Asiatic dependencies or the military despotism they would entail. The proximity of Cuba made its misgovernment our a , but we are not called upon | to rectify the tyrannies of India or of Asia. Nor are we under any obligations to Aguinaldo and the- in- surgents. Let us keep to our own hemisphere, seek- ing only naval stations in the Oid World.” As Commissioner Schurman he now counsels a ceourse that leads straight to a military despotism as the only form of government possible of institution in | those distant islands. The effect of English rule in | Asia was for years the subject of unfavorable com- ment in this country. Now that has ceased, and our imperialists point to that rule as a model of benefi- cence and an example that lures us to imitation. One Sunday last May something was said in West- | bourne Park Chapel, London, to a *British audience | about empire in India. The speaker was Dadabhai | Navoji, a Hindoo, who represents an English con- | stituency in the House of Commons. He said that as | the United States, hitherto a devotee of the Monroe doctrine, had abandoned it and appeared to share in the imperialism of the world, the American people | would look to imperial government in India as ani example to follow or to avoid. Then followed a ter- | rible arraignment of England’s government in India. He said: ‘““An oriental despot when he misgoverned acted, so to speak, like a butcher, and people were but this new despotism of | ion rather resembled a murder effected by a clever but unscrupulous surgeon who drew all the blood from his victim while leaving scarcely a scar | upon his skin. Moreover, if under oriental despotism the results to the individual were serious, they at| least were not so terrible to the country. A par- | ticular victim was no doubt despoiled of his fortune, but some favorite benefited and the money at least remained in the country, whereas the British system HE country needs that men who influence pub- o A tion of the wealth of India, with the result that to- day the Indians are the poorest people in the world. Lord George Hamilton talked glibly of the manner in which British empire in India had been built up by But much of the blood . was Indian, he treasure, not a farthing of it was Brit- the contrary, constrained jthe wretched natives to contribute the whole cost, and | were still drawing from India year by year millions upon millions, to the still greater impoverishment and destruction of the Indian people. Lord Salisbury himself had said that India must be ‘bled,’ and ad- mitted that India was injured by the drain that was constantly going on in the exportation of so much revenue without any equivalent, and went on to say that the great mass of the people, the agricultural community, had no more blood remaining in them, and the lancet must be applied where the blood was congested. The lot of the unhappy Indian is some- what worse than that of the negro slaves of America in the old days, for the masters had an interest in keeping them alive for their money value. But if'an Indian or a million of Indians died there was another or other millions to take their places and be ‘the slaves of British officials in their turn. The average ish treasure. while, as to t isles is £41; of the people of India it is 235 shillings (six dollars and a quarter.)” In other words, England is in India for commercial conquests for the same purposes. If these are gained, by what different process will they be accomplished? The British and the Boers are doing as much fight- ing talk without fighting as any two prize ring cham- pions, and perhaps the challenging and counter chal- lenging will end in much the same way.

The good people of the pastor's church talked it over, and came to the conclusion that he might choose more wisely. Finally, it was left to the elders to_wait upon and expostulate with him.

ETIQUETTE AND STATIONERY— Subscriber, Sulphur Creek, Colusa County, Cal. Etiquette demands a certain adher- ence to conventional forms in regard to the size and shape of the paper and en- velopes used in writing letters of friend- ship, congratulation: condolence, etc. Beyond a compliance with this general re- quirement each individual can use a per sonal preference as to what tint shall be chosen, what style of monogram, if any, shall be impressed, and whether the sheets of paper shall be plain or gratned and rough. A gentleman may have a monogram on his paper and envelopes if | he so desires without transgressing on the rules of etiquette; that is a matter of | individual taste, but the requisite is that | the sl:\tlonerf‘ be of good quality, the handwriting plain and the style simple. IMPEACHMENT—J. H., City. The Con- stitution of the United States, article I, section 3, directs how the President and other civil officers shall be tried. It pro- vides that “the Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When | sitting for that purpose the members shall oath or affirmation. When the | be on President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside; and no | person shall be convicted ~without the concurrence of two-thirds of the members | present.” ~Under _this organic law, the | House of Representatives impeaches or | makes the charges against the officer ac- cused, the articles being practically the same as the counts in an indictment. The impeachment is sent to the Senate, a copy s served on the accused and the House of Representatives appoints a com- mittee of members as managers or prose- cutors of the impeachment. When the | Senate is convened as a court, the man- agers on the part of the House, and the counsel for the accused, are summoned to appear before it; and the trial pro- | ceeds much the same as_trials of other | causes of large interest. In the impeach- | ment of Federal officers other than the | President, the same course is followed ex- | cept that the President of the Senate pre- | sides. _———————— Cal. glace fruit 50c per b at Townsend's. * —_——————————— Special information supplied daily to busrmess houses and public men by the Fress Clipping Bureau (Allen's), 510 Mont- gomery street.
