ISPATCHING reports by wireless telegraphy D is no longer 2 matter of marvel or even of any particular note. Such methods of sending news have now become among the commonplaces of the day, and it is only when some extraordinary feature is associated with the event that it is thought worth | while to give it place among important items of news. It happens, however, that such extraordinary things are by no means infrequent, for while it is true that in the rapid advance of eless telegraphy that which was wonderful yesterday is but an ordinary affair to- day, yet that same advance carries the art forward so that what was an ideal to be hoped for on one day be- comes the unexpected reality of another. A new illustration of the increasing utility of the service is furnished in the reports from Toronto of the successful operation of wireless telegraphy between points 300 miles distant. The dispatch was sent from the steamer Lake Champlain and announced that she would pass Cape Ray at a given time. It is said the message was easily read at the cape, and from there was 2t once sent to the company’s offices at Montreal and Toronto. It is added that the Marconi system was used and that the success of the experiment will confirm the Dominion Government in its purpose to extend a wireless telegraph system along the coasts of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, the Bay of Fundy and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Finally it is stated that after leaving Great Britain the steamer sent 2 message to the shore when 200 miles at sea. This is but another of the many proofs of the effi- ciency of the wircless service, and it is therefore grat- ifying to vecall that the Weather Bureau has been au- thorized by Secretary Wilson to install a wireless ser- vice between this city and the Farallones. Even from that point important information can be sent to the city, but when the shipping of the Pacific Ocean is supplied with the telegraphic apparatus and vessels can send messages to the city from 200 miles or more at sea, it will be possible for the Weather Bureau to make much more thorough studies of the weather and more accurate forecasts of the movements of storms and winds. There should be no long defay in getting the sys- tem installed. The feasibility of the new telegraphy is no longer 2 matter of doubt. It was in this city that its availability for dispatching news was first demon- strated by the success of The Call in obtaining a re- port of the arrival of the transport bringing home the California Volunteers. That being so, this city cer- tainly should not be the last to have the system estab- lished as a permanent part of the Government service. J. Sterling Morton, who has long been an author- ity on tree-planting, says in a recent number of the Conservative that every twenty-four hours the con- sumption of wood in one form or amother in this country equals all that can be produced on 25,000 acres, and that the new acreage planted every day does not exceed twenty-five acres. On that showing it will not be long before we begin to feel a shortage. The Klondike continues to send .out more gold than Alaska, but there are good reasons for believing there will be a change before long and that our side of the line will be the big gold country of the north. Quite 2 number of Southern statesmen have agreed it is time for the South to furnish the country with a President, but the people will continue to look to Ohio. S THE SOUTH CAROLINA CASE. OUTH CAROLINA is going into court with a very interesting case. It is one characteristic of that original commonwealth. . In 1832 that State decided that the Federal constitution permitted a State to nullify 2 Federal law, and therefore proceeded by solemn ordinance to nullify, vacate and, as far as South Carolina was concerned, to repeal a tariff. This attempt gave rise to very interesting consequences which have enriched our history. The Scuth was quite generally in sympathy with the movement, and, to cement that section firmly together for the new policy, a banquet was held in Washington City, with Calhoun at one end of the table and President Jackson at the other. Up to that time the course that Jackson would take was not known. Calhoun made a speech to the banqueters, in which he brought all his genius and marvelous power to bear in defense of nullification as a constitutional doctrine and, to give it high authority, pretended to trace it to Mr. Jefferson, then but a few years dead. Every one at the table realized that this speech was a challenge to Jackson, and when he rose all saw that the issue was joined. Raising a glass of wine, the President gave the famous sentiment: “The Federal Union; by the Eternal it must and shall be pre- served!” 3 This at once identified nullification with disunion. The attempt to stay in the Union and nullify its laws was seen to be illogical, and the doctrine fell into dis- favor, to be substituted by the more logical though not more constitutional theory of secession, which was more logical because it taught a complete withdrawal from the Union. Now South Carolina is going into court with a new form of nullification. Senator Tillman made his way to the front ir that State by advocating and securing a Jaw which makes the State the only liquor seller. Itis called the State dispensary system. The State sets up a liquor store where one is regarded as necessary, and the bartender is a State officer or employe. The State buys the liquor wholesale, retails it and pockets the profits, if there be any. This law was attacked in the Federal courts, but was upheld as a local police regula- tion proper for a State to make. But the United States taxes liquor and compels a liquor dealer to take out a Federal license. Without this license the liquor in a dealer’s possession is subject to seizure and confis- cation and the dealer to arrest and fine. South Caro- lina now seeks to nuilify this law as far as she is con- cerned, contending that the Federal Government has no power to exact a license from a State for the per- formance of any function of its sovereignty. This raises some very interesting issues. A French financier said that alcohol, opium and tobacco offered such a sure means of raising revenue that they should never be lost sight of by statesmen. Our Government made alcohol and tobacco subject to excise and license and opium to a tariff during the Civil War, and these impositions have been continued, because of the ease with which that tax is collected, and the revenue needs e Government. South Carolina refuses to pay fur%]is license as a liquor seller and sues to recover what she has paid. If this contention is good khe States can destroy the Federal Government. A neces- sity to the existence of that Government is its inde- pendent use of the power to tax and to borrow. Its bonds are non-taxable by the States, because if the States could tax them the Federal power to borrow money would be destroyed, for the States could tax that power to death. The United States taxes the manufacture and sale of liquor. If a State can go into the business of selling and evade the license tax, it can so become a manufacturer and evade that tax. If be granted the power of the Federal Government to raise revenue by a liquor tax is destroyed. The States may then do the same with tobacco and remove of al | that from the objects of Federal taxation. This process may be repeated with everything which the United States may cover with an excise, and the Federal Gov- ernment may be driven entirely from that field. Nor is this all. If a State, by embarking in business, may snatch the objects dealt in from the Federal tax collector, every maritime State may become an im- porter and set up free trade, as far as the Federal Gov- ernment is concerned, and thereby destroy the power of the United States to enforce a tariff. South Carolina will, of course, contend that the imposition of a liguor license tax upon a liquor selling ate is a nullification of the State law. But the con- itution, treaties and acts of Congress are the supreme law of the land. We believe that the principle contended for will be found condemned by Chief Justice Marshall. The | Federal Government does not stop at a State line in the imposition of the taxes necessary to its existence. .States prohibit the sale of liquor. The Federal Gov- ernment licenses its sale within their borders. They may use their police power and the Federal Govern- ment does not interfere; its licensee takes the risk. The Federal Government uses its taxing and borrow- ing power, and the States must keep hands off. Ex-Senator Chandler of the Spanish Claims Com- mission is reported to have said recently that “the cause of the destruction of the Maine is an open question.” It will be-seen that in his new office the former Senator has attained a very judicial frame of mind, and will not decide upon anything until he has heard further argument. LORD SALISBURY'S WARNING. BY way of reply to the opponents of the war in South Africa, Lord Salisbury has recently de- clared that the empire cannot turn back; that the war was forced upon his Government by the Boers and that now to abandon the struggle or to make any compromise would virtually mean a surrender of em- pire itself. In speaking of the causes that led up to the war, he said: “We are defending the King’s territory against invasion by neighbors who, in international law, had no complaint against us and who were actu- ated merely by a greed for territory and the desire of enlarging their dominions. That was the motive that stimulated them. The motive that ought to actuate us is a detefmination to defend to the utmost the rights of the King and the sanctity of our frontier.” That statement does not correspond to the facts so far as they have been made known to the world, but it served Salisbury as a sort of basis upon which to build up his appeal. His argument is that the empire has been assailed and that the British are fighting not for conquest, but for the preservation of their terri- tory. Thus he went on to say: “Unless we now ful- fill the professions that have been constantly held and determinedly made, we shall expose every part of our dominions to those who have hated us and have ceased to fear us” Pressing the point further he added: “If you allow the belief to arise that you are unable or unwilling to defend your own territory you will sgon find you have no territory to defend.” To arguments of that kind it is not likely the oppo- nents of the Ministry can make an answer that will be The popular song in New York just now i Would You Like to Be the Ice Man?” “How satisfactory to the average voter, and consequently Salisbury will not lack support i carrying on the war. There is, moreover, an element of indisputable truth in the argument, although it starts from a wrong premise. Great Britain is not fighting to resist the aggressions of the Boers, but none the less she is fighting under the eyes of a watchful world, and fail- ure would greatly weaken her prestige. It is no vain warning that he uttered in the words: “We must establish in the minds of the civilized world, especially in South Africa, the conviction that if our frontiers’ are violated, it will be a bitter time for those who have | undertaken to do it. It is only by inspiring such a conviction that you can be safe.” e e At the Harvard commencement this year addresses were made by Hoar, Roosevelt, the German Embas- sador (Holleben) and many other dignitaries, but it was noted that the greatest impression upon the alumni was made by the address of President Eliot, in which he stated that Pierpont Moréan had agreed to give the university $1,000,000. Money, it will be scen, can make as good a talk in the academic groves as in the market. T grazing of our mountain forests. idea that any harm ever results to forest land from letting sheep run on it. Experience in forestry has demonstrated that no hard and fast rule can be made about the grazing of forests. The effect depends upon climate, local situa- tion, acclivity and many other conditions that must be known before rules can be made. In some situ- ations it is useful to forests to run swine in them. In others, where the acclivity is great, swine only loosen the earth by rooting and prepare it to be washed away by the rains. In this way hillside forests have been killed as effectually as by fire through the washing away of the soil. The unrestricted grazing of any forest by sheep is injurious. Especially is this so in an arid country, or one that has a definite wet and dry season. The Mail is proud of the acquaintance of timber tracts in our California mountains that are leased for sheep graz- ing, and boasts of their good condition. We do not doubt this, but that is restricted grazing of the land, under such rules and regulations as the owner pre- scribes. The destructive grazing of forests on the public domain is quite another thing, for that, domain, being free to all comers, its use is unrestricted. Those who know the past history of our forest re- serves know that as the flocks of sheep came out of the mountains they left a line of fire behind them. The herders deliberately destroyed the forest to make open space for the next season’s grass. Since these forests were reserved and the sheep were kept out these annual fires have not occurred. It is true that the Government does not do its full duty by merely excluding stock from the reservations. It should em- ploy foresters and workmen under their supervision to keep the forest floor clear of dead timber and duff. It should permit, when conditions favor it, restricted grazing, under regulations sternly enforced. It should also permit the harvesting of all ripetimberunder such cirgumstances as not to disturb the unripe or destroy the oncoming crop. All this will come in time, and the reservations will pay the cost of their administra- tion and yield a revenue besides, and future genera- tions will find upon them more and better timber than they carry now. But if they are grazed now without restriction they will go the way of all for- ests that have been used as open pasture. The mountains of Spain were stripped of their tim- ber by sheep. Their moisture was diminished, the plains and valleys were made arid, the rivers werg made useless, and Spain was made poor by sheep. After sheep and goats had wiped out the forests of Auystria overlooking the Adriatic, and that country be- gan the slow process of replanting the denuded terri- tory, it was found necessary to use soldiers to keep out the sheep and goats. Reforesting and grazing could not go on together. Observation of conditions in our country and the experience of other countries should convince any one that the destruction of forests unfavorably affects climate and fertility, and that grazing is a means of such destruction, unless strictly regulated and limited. All of the countries of Continental Europe have suffered from the loss or impairment of theit forests. They are now at great cost saving what is left and renewing what was lost. They have discovered the rule to be that where nature plants forests the land is more valuable for forgst than for anything else. Therefore, regarding the production of timber as its noblest use, they are taking care of such land. Small ccuntries like Bavaria, feeling the . FLOCKS AND FORESTS. HE Stockton Mail grows facetious about free pinch hardest, began this care of forests earlier than the | large nations. Bavaria has been caring for her forests a full cen- tury, and now has more, larger and better timber than she had a hundred years ago, and her timber har- vest, for economic use, has increased every year. She cuts more and has more to cut annually than when she began. Contrast this with the timbered States of this coun- try. Where are the valuable hardwood forests of Central New York? Cleared off and burned in log heaps to make indifferent farm land. Where are the beech, maple, oak, black walnut and catalpa forests of Indiana? Girdled and burned to get land that raises fifteen bushels of corn to the acre, and is soon surrendered to the rag weed. Ax and fire have stripped Michigan, Wisconsin an® Minnesota of their forests, and much of the potential wealth of those States has disappeared with the timber. Yet if wisely managed every acre of original forest land could to- day be producing a crop of timber. The Mail should not generalize from insufficient data, and becatise it finds restricted grazing harmless in private forests, conclude that unrestricted grazing would be harmless in public forests. The Chinese Government pays us a high compli- ment in asking us to collect the claims for indemnity made by Chinamen against European governments, but it will have to pass with thanks, for up to date we have not been gble to collect our own claims against Turkey and consequently are in no condition to under- take a general collection agency. | That famous reform combination that was going to drive Tammany out of New York politics has already divided and some of the members are now fighting the others. Croker evidently knew what would happen when he went to England and left the reformers a free hand for a while. P A new horse disease is prevalent in-New York City. Tt is said that out of the 28,000 horses reported in the horse census upward of 5000-have had the disease so severely as to require treatment, and 10,000 more have had it in a mild form.

Flace these in a fancy jar, add some cloves and cinnamon and a little alcohol, just enough to moisten the ieaves; then place the jar for a time in the sun, where it may be- come warm, but not hot. The cover must be kept on while in the sun. After that when the cover is removed a most de- lightful fragrance is emitted from the jar. EARLY SACRAMENTO FLOOD-E. P. R., San Jose, Cal. The flood at Sacra- mento in the early days was not in 1849, but in 1850. On the Sth of that month the river rose to such a height that it over- flowed the ievee along J street, between First and Third. Subsequently it inun- dated the whole city. The waters did not recede until the end of the month. A letter from that city received by the steamer Senator, then plying between that city and San Francisco, mentions the fact that lumber in the overflowed city was selllng at from $220 to $225 per thousand feet. .

Poor old Holywell street, in its day ne of the most famous, not to say infamcs, streets in London, which is to be swhi- lowed up in the new avenue from Hbpl- born to the Strand, is becoming a de- jected and deserted lane. One of the mct widely known and most respected Dodk folk, Mrs. Hindley, has put up her shul- ters for the last time. - She belonged to the old Homes family, who were booksellers in Holywell street in the most famous days. Mrs. Hindley't recollections of people under the vany ished conditions of trade are many and jnteresting. Her father did a great trade in three volume novels, and would often —so greatly has the trade altered—go forth to the suburbs or the West End with two or three such novels, to sell them at libraries or, indeed, to anybody he met who he knew was a likely custo- mer. In this way Mrs. Hindley has seen the novels of Anthony Trollqpe, Miss Braddon, Wilkie Collins, Disraell and many other writers distributed through depression in trade, lack of money and other causes when publishers have had to put forth unusual exertions to push likely books. Strange have been the methods of ad- vertising. Only lately, for instance. has the sandwich board man been engaged for advertising a novel. Formerly publishers would have scorned such means of bring ing books to the notice of the public, but the latest takes the leading place of all. Everybody suffers from the dropping fire of trade circulars, yet never has been seen anything so startling as a paper cir- culated the other day. Imagine an official looking blue envelops handed in at your door by a grave look- ing man of somber uniform, bearing the words in very ~big black faced type, “Final Notice.” It gives the heart a jump and sets one wondering wha: bill has been overlooked or what he has been summoned for. On opening it he finds merely a circular from a firm of puplish- date ers announcing that after a certain the price of some publicati y raised. Naturally, i “Final Notice’* to pieces.
