Their temper as to the forest reserves was shown in their executive h proposed to take immediate steps nt the graz: of the reserves. In this they will and support of the irrigators and lasses and organizations which desire to preserve forests and conserve the waters of the arid region. Another demand was made by the aggressive sheep T was to the effect that forest reserves be i to the actual large timber. The Black Mesa, in Arizona, is covered by a dense chaparral, which pre- ttle men, longer subr ave the sympath o men confin vents evaporation and preserves moisture, and for these purposes has been made a forest reserve. There are other regions like it in Arizona and New Mexico. | Ii these covered localities are open to sheep they are gradually stripped of their cover by fire, which pro- duces open space for grass during one or two sea- sons, when the land becomes so dry that all growth ceases. If this process be practiced the aridity of ths plains below is increased, the streams are alternately tofrential and dry, the deep springs cease to flow and the country is permanently injured. It is well that the cattle men have gone by them- selves, to let the country know that the conclusions of the convention on these subjects are not those of the entire livestock interest, but of the sheep men alone. The cattle, horse and swine interests require the preservation of the forests, the maintenance of moisture and the extension of irrigation, and therein are in line with enlightened public sentiment-and the best conclusions of economic science.

But not before in more than a century has the passing, of one stirred the sympathy of widely separ- ated peoples to an equal degree. In part this has its origin in the respect of the world for womanhood. This was shown by the re- sentment of Irishmen when she was lampooned last year by the Paris.press. Though they were the hereditary enemies of her dynasty and her nation, the Irish heart remembered that she was a woman, | and its hot blod leaped in retaliation of the Gallic insult. has served that nation in many a crisis. The Chartist agitation, the corn law riots, the home rule crisis and the pinch and stress of war and tumuit have ail beex limited and bounded by respect for the clean skirts of the woman who held the scepter. ? She has been the one moral influence respected by Etropean royalty. Much criticized often for her ideal of a vestal court, for her stern and inflexible morality, yet in these respects she has stood for the pure home everywhere, and high and humble all over the globe have felt the high influence of her upright example. Her sons and daughters, after all but men and women, have loved or feared the strength of her morality, and while none can claim that the men of her house have not deserved her displeasure, they never ceased to dread it.

Those who have read her published diary have found in it no literary form to be praised, no originality to be flattered, but they have respected the | mother spirit that makes its charm. As men everywhere have watched her ebbing life they have felt that touch of nature which is in us ali at the spectacle of a family, sons and daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, in sorrow and grief. As the glory of the world fades to her vision it is not royalty that is passing—it is a mother, a widow, dying. All the pomp and circumstance of dignity and display, are seen in their impermanence as but the mask and trappings of life’s passing fashion, and the sympathy and sorrow, the sentiment and tears, and honored in" common with every who has felt the thrill of her first baby’s kiss and has | shared with this mother, Queen and Empress all the | joys and sorrows that paint life’s page with the chang- | ing sunshine and shadows good motheg HEN Congress provided a pension for Con- | 1 ANOTHER PENSION PRECEDENT. { W gressman Boutelle of Maine by placing him on the retired list of the navy there was consid- eral disapproval on the part of the public. It was felt that the action established a bad precedent in pen- sion legislation, and that out of it might eventually grow a custom of providing pensions for all noted Congressmen on retiring from active life. At that time it was never suspected there might be a still fur- ther extension of the pension courtesies of the two houses, and that we should see life pensions provided | for men who had no other claim than that of being | a relative of a Congressman. It is to that extent, however, the Senate has just gone in passing a bill providing a life pension for Horatio N. Davis, whose sole title to support from the Government is that. he is the father of the late | Senator Davis of Minnesota. No one in the United States can have any personal | antagonism to the proposed pensioner. He is doubt- less a worthy man who is now old and infirm and re- objection remains that the people of the United States have not yet adopted a policy of providing life pensions for the aged. Mr. Davis had as fair a chance ‘other men in this country. The distinguished son had ample opportunities during his life to provide for his father just as other sons do. It is therefore an unfair thing to tax the mass of the American peo- ple to provide a pension of that kind. | Of course the pension is small. It is but $50 a [ month, and the country is rich. As in the case of so many pensions of an almost similar nature, it appears | mean and stingy to oppose it. None the less the fact | remains that a line should be drawn somewhere in the pension policy of the Government, while it scems to be the intention of Congress to draw no line at all but to leave the field open for claims of all kinds. | Unless public opinion force a check upon the ten- dency now so marked we shall eventually have a | civil pension list that will be something of a national scandal. SEAMEN AND SHIP SUBSIDY. N such constructive legislation as is required to re- l store American shipping it js not reasonable to expect that perfection can be reached at once. The purpose of the law may not be all accomplished at once. But jt should not be forgotten that it is easier to amend a law when a part of the statutes tiian to pass it in the first place. The $160,000,000 paid last year to foreign ship- owners for carrying American freight to its market went to the profits of those ship-owners and to the wages of foreign sailors and ship-builders, marine underwriters and architects. When the Jaw diverts that vast sum from alien to American ship-owners its ultimate distribution will be to the same classes in this country. Economists have long observed that Americans have lost their sea. faring tendency. Even in our navy native American sailors are perhaps in the minority. If the law to re- store shipping absolutely required that our merchant marine shall employ cnly American sailors the policy weuld be blocked ‘at the beginning because of the | dearth of American sailors. Every good citizen looks forward to the time when American ships will, be manned by seamen who are American cjtizens. But we must first have the ships. This explaifis why the pending measure is primarily devoted to getting the ships. The American seaman has on his side the overwhelming American feeling, Which is the final cause of the proposed legislation, and will pratect his interests as stoutly as it will those of American -Luilders. 3 % Some complaint is made, and-we respect those whc make it and share their motive, that the bill That England had a Queen instead of a King | in the court of her grandfather, have not been appar- | state, the insignia of royalty, the stamp of princely | are given in tribute o that character which she heid | to save a competence for his declining years as most | | increases the proportion of Amerjcan sailors required | in the crews. We want to restore the sea-going char- acter of the American people which has strangely i lapsed. This country has more miles of sea and lake | coast and more of navigable rivers than any other | country in the world. Its people should find profit- :able en?ploym:nt on river, lake and ocean. Partial | prosperity is no prosperity at all. Prosperity must | be general to be beneficial to a country. We want no plan that will confine prosperity to classes. .In this matter ship-builder, sailor and ship-owner must share and share alike, each in proportion to his con- | tribution of brain and muscle. | As for the general policy of restoring American shipping, the bill now before Congress proposes the only logical course. The people regard protection as the fairly well settled policy of the country. As long as it is the policy there is no other way oi sending to the world the surplus it produces in American ships. 2 We are making great and costly strides in the build- ing of a mighty navy. No people has had a navy | without- deep water commerce. A glance at naval | statistics shows that the navies of nations are in pro- | portion to their merchant marine. Carthage aroused the fear and cupidity of Rome by putting a navy be- hind her merchant marine. The Hanseatic League supported its merchant ships with warships. In pur- suance of the same law England has the greatést ex- isting merchant marine and the greatest navy. Now |it will be a folly and a farce to spend hundreds of ! millions in creating a great navy to sail around the | world nowhere saluting the American flag on a mer- chant ship. The two go together, and the peopls will soon tire of supporting a great navy unless they have a proportionately great merchant marine. - ar————— S troversy in the' Easf over the question whether any person outside of the New York Yacht Club has a right to enter a yacht as a competitor for the honor of defending the America’s cup against the challenger, Sir Thomas Lipton. The question arose from the fact that Mr. Lawson of Boston is building a yacht for that purpose, and it has been suggested that should his yacht win he will hold the cup ani take it to Boston. To that the New York Yach: Club objected and the issue has been a matter of controversy ever since. Lately the affair has been complicated by the THE CUP AND THE CLUB. OME time ago we directed attention to a con- sire the honor of defending the cup against Lipton. The New York Tribune presents the two sides cf the question in this form: As the challenged body, the New York Yacht Club may be in a position to say, if desired, that the defensg of the trophy les solely in its hands, the honors to be confined to its own members. On the other hand, it has | been shown that the club holds the cup as temporary trustee under the terms originally expressed by its donors, that it should remain “as a perpetual challenge | cup for friendly competition between foreign countries.” It has been argued that the words ‘‘between foreign countries” suggest that each competing country should be represented in the best possible way, and that a lim- | ited defense which should not exhaust the whole of the country’s inventive talent was thus forbidden. Which of the two views is technically correct may be a debatable question, but there can be little differ- ence of opinion concerning the two points involved in it: First, that the New York Yacht Club should at once decide the question and give notice so as to save expense to men who are now building yachts in the expectation of being permitted to compete; second, that the cup ought to be defended by the best yacht America can produce. All American yachtsmen should have a fair chance to win the honor of de- fending it. In this connection it is worth noting that Sir Thomas Lipton is reported, when asked what hé | thought of the subjec:, to have stated that he would not like to take the cup back to Great Britain with the knowledge he had not won it from the best American yacht. He went on to'say: These are purely inteFnational races. The English peo- | ple do not care what English designer wins so long as England wins, and so I judge it to be with the American people. The yacht which defends the cup does so on be- quires support in his old age. Conceding all that ther’ half of the whole seventy-five millions of people and not on behalf of the individual owner or designer. What we | all want is genuine, true and sportsmanlike contests. | T am sending over the best yacht England can produce, and I want to meet the best yacht America can produce. | That is the right view to take of the subject, and if the New York Yacht Club take any other it will ! be less American and less sportsmanlike than Sir Thomas Lipton. In a contest of this kind the motto | should be, “Let the best yacht win.” All comers should have a fair chance. AUTOMATIC WIRELESS SIGNALS. IRELESS telegraphy is passing from one de- Wgree of efficienacy to another with a rapidity which proves that in the progress of inven- tion the“present century is going to keep up the pace of the last years of the nineteenth, and probably sur- pass it. . It is but a short time since we had occasion to note the improvements made in the system by German experimenters, showing that in some respects they were in advance of anything that Marconi him- self has achieved. It is now to be noted that British inventors have also added much to the utility of the system. -It appears by reports from English technical journals that Colonel Hozier and Professor Maskelyne have devised an automatic system of wireless teleg- raphy designed to warn ships of their approach to danger. | Descriptions given of the invention ate to the effect that a.station is established at dangerous points on shore, and an automatic transmitting instrument is put into operation whereby electrical pulsatious are sent forth into the atmosphere, spelling out the | name of the headland or rock upon which the instru- | ment is placed. Any ship approaching within a radius of twenty miles would receive these signals instan- taneously upon an instrument which is always ready to respond to the ethereal waves, and is silent at al' other times. i The automatic working of such a mum‘oi teleg- raphy is undoubtedly one of the most promising features of the new invention. A ship equipped with a proper receiving instrument would be warned the moment she approached a dangerous headland; and if she were also supplied with a transmitting instru- ment it would be easy for her captain to at once com- nitnicate with the' shore in case his vessel were in need of help. Wireless telegraphy, it will be seen, {is not only coming fast, but is coming from many directions and in many forms. A San Jose woman has sued her mother-in-law for damages on the score of cruelty, and New York has one who insisted #pon being the head of a housefold for mmy‘;m “Such an assault upon two of ths ‘most cherished privileges of the sterner sex ought to suggest something in the nature of protection. | requires only one-fourth of the crews of subsidized | Los Angeles insists that it shall not be deprived of ships to be American citizens.
