The value of trees in a sanitary

crowded cities can scarcely be over
estimated. Apart from the sense Of
relief and GOODNESS which thew inn
part, their influence as purifiers of
the atmosphere is almost incredible.
1t has been calculated that a good
sized elm, plane or lime tree will
produce 100000 leaves, having a
united area Of 100000 square feet.
The competent authority above
quoted proceeds to show that not
only do the leaves absorb deleteri-
Gus gases, but they exhale oxygen.
They must, therefore, be Of i'm.

unhealthy districts. When to this
1t is added that trees modify tenn
p%erature, promoting GOODNESS in
summer and warmth in winter; also
that they purify the soil below as
well as the atmosphere above, we
have a very powerful sanitary argu-
ment Tor tree planting.

If the withdrawal of troops from
Louisiana politics signifed immu-
nifty to Wells, Anderson, Casanave
and Kenner, or any other ~rascals,
it was a corrupt bargain. There is
no reason to believe that such was
the real or implied intention of the
President or his chosen commission
ers sent down to adjust matters be-
tween two rival State governments.
If the members of the Louisiana
returning board were guilty of per-
jury and corruption, no act of Mr..
Hayes or any other person could
purge them Of the crime. The
mere intention would make him a
party to their offences, if guilty of
any. Their turpitude cannot be
mitigated by the moral rectitUde of
others. The withdrawal of troops
from the State-house neither in
creases nor diminishes the crimes
against law and decency. 1t merely
leaves them exposed and liable to
the laws they set at defiance. These
wretches have been held up to the
ScOrn Of all decent men, and there
is no public desire to see them pun
ished further. Yet if the grand
jury finds evidence OF their guilt
an indictment is inevitable. Laws
should be universal in their appli-
and big rascals punished the
as little ones.

them from attending the State

they resign. They want to 90 to
the convention as usual to fix
things up, and they do not want to
resign. If they go they they must
resign afterward; if they resign
first it will not be worth while to
