Ir addition to it a large sum was stolen from the State Treasury under circumstances that have made Altgeld unable to deny the charge that he had some- thing more than knowiedge of it. Such is the record of the man who put Bryan for- ward first four years ago and who probably influences him more than any other. An Altgeld-Croker administration would be a sight for gods and men, but Bryan would find it impos- sible to have any other. He would be limited in his selections to the motiey support that placed him in power, and the country would know just what to ex- pect, and it would not be disappointed. FORESTS AND HEALTH. ! UCH has been said of the importance of trees /'\/\ to a country from an economic point of view. The value of the timber they produce and their usefulness in conserving the water supply are by this time admitted by all. There is, however, a | further argument on the side of forest protection, which has been strikingly set forth in a recent num- | ber of Health Culture by Dr. Felix L. Oswald; that of the sanitary value of trees and their effects in :maintaining conditions tending to the healthfulness | of those who live among them. Dr. Oswald holds that the destruction of forests is the cause of malaria in many of its forms owing to the diluvium carried down by torrential streams from treeless hills and spread over the valleys be- low. In cities trees serve the useful purpose of ab- sorbing noxious gases and generating oxygen. He notes that in Southern cities like Savannah, with its | fourfold rows of forest trees shading every principal street, sunstrokes are far less frequent than in the sun-scorched cities in the North, where there are comparatively few trees. Furthermore, he claims that shade is essential to the protection of the eye,. and mia. On that point he says: “I am still haunted by a recollection of a scene | in the harbor suburb of Girgenti, where children with red swollen eyelids were foraging in a dump pile and eyed dogs. There was not a tree in sight. Far up and down the undulating beach the heat of the sun made the air tremble, and the glare of its reflection same spot, Agrigentum with its population of keen- eyed Greeks flourished for three hundred years, a city of gardens and groves, rivaling the wealth of Carthage, the mistress of the Mediterranean.” Forests, as Dr. Oswald points out, mitigate cli- matic extremes, attract rain and conserve the waters for a regular flow at all seasons. nd the Union, has some of the knowl- | territory becomes unfit for human abode and no high state of civilization can be maintained there. Upon that phase of the subject he says: | “Spain in the glory of her ancient woodlands was | the Eden of Southern Europe; treeless Spain has be- come a gehenna of poverty and disease. Forest- shaded Sicily begat athletes and philosophers, heroes and merchant princes; Sicily in its present sun-blis- tered condition evolves chiefly bandits, beggars and vermin. The entire coast region of the Mediterra- nean has been ‘cleared,’ with the result of losing four- fifth of its former population and at least nine-tenths of its former productiveness. The same in Southern | France, in Portugal, Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, Ar- | menia, Persia and Hindustan. | questioned if all human follies and crimes taken to- gether have caused as much permanent mischief as | It might, indeed, be the insane destruction of nature's safeguards against life-blighting droughts. A land without trees is in as sad a plight as a flayed animal. The New World's wealth of woodlands is the chief guarantee of its prosperity.” 4 To the intelligent reader there is perhaps noth- ing new in all that, and yet all will recognize the importance of repeating the old lessons over and over | again in California, until the people have been roused to the importance of profiting by them and putting them to some practial use. Wasteful methods of cut- ting timber, carelessness in many ways and wide ¢ when Morgan hauls down the | sweeping fires are rapidly destroying our woods.

ESPITE the fact that Kruger has abandoned | given to man. D the country, that all their cities and strong- holds are in the hands of the British, and that their armies cannot longer hold together in large masses, the indomitable Boers continue the war. Some of them, of course, have lost hope and have surrendered, but a goodly number remain in the fiell and defy the efforts of their foes. It is now clear that when they enlisted for the war they meant the enlist- ment to be binding until death took them or liberty was attained. Lord Roberts’ dispatches received in London Thursday report contests and skirmishes along the whole front of his far flung battle line. He announced that Hart has returned to Krugersdorp after having been in contact with the Boers for twenty-nine d out of the thirty-three occupied by his expeditio Buller had returned to Leydenburg after an advance which was marked by daily skirmishes; the Dublin Fusileers had found a detachment of Boers between Pretoria and Johannesburg and had succeeded in driving them from their position only by making a night assault with the bayonet; and, finally, that a de- tachment of Boers has broken through the British lines and penetrated into Orange River Colony. For the purpose of forcing the Boers to lay down their arms Roberts has resorted to extreme measures. The reports state that the British troops are burning the homes of all Boers who are still in the field, with the intention of forcing them to surrender in order to relieve the distress of their families. It is added there is deep concern over the widespread famine that may be thus produced throughout the Transvaal and | Hundreds of families have | been made desolate.

The Boers hold the open country and the war goes on.

W. HELLM DITOR San Francisco Call: I am a life-long Democrat, but I shall not vote for Bryan for President. The silver craze, with which Bryan is identified, is the principal rea- son. The 16 to 1 idea is not only ab- surd, but also would, if put into practice, upset all values. Everybody would be injured, the mechanic and laborer as well as the merchant. America is to-day 2 creditor country and will contniue to be so uuless we change our monetary system. Let the ratio of 16 to 1 be adopted and it will drive out what gold there is here. Our securities will be sent back from abroad to be sold here in immense sums. One crisis would fol- low another. Manufacturing interests | would be greatly injured; labor, which is now in good demand, would suffer. No good can come to any one from 16 to 1 excepting the owners of silver mines, who would receive $1 25 for 60 | cents’ worth of silver. Another objection to Bryan is that he is not a Democrat. I consider him a| Populist. The Populists would control | the offices if he should be elected. The recent State nominations in Nebraska | illustrate that point clearly. Every| nomination for any office of importance | in Nebraska went to a Populist, and the | Democrats took what little there was | left, I am a moderate expansionist.
