Invite the attention of Congress to the impor-
lance OF statements and suggestion made by the
Secretary Of thG Interior concerning depredaiiOps
committed upon the timber lands OF the United
States. and the necessity for the preservation Of
tho forests. IL is believed that The measures tuken
IN pursuance OF existing law to arrest these dep
rotations, will be entirely successful Ii Con-
gress, by IN appropriation for that pur-
pose, renders their continued enforcement possible.
The experience of other Nations teaches us that
q country can not be stripped OF its forests WITH
immunity, and we snail expose ourselves 10 the
gravest consequences unless tho waetefui and i'm
provident manner In which the forests in the
UDited States are destroyed Is effeetually checked.

enabling the people OF certain States and Terrific

HAYES As A REFORMER.
Bui Kembie showing the Insincerity Of his
Order TO Omceholders.

PHILADELPHIA, Juno 25.-Lcading Repub-
licans here do not conceal their contempt at the
order OF Hayes dlvorcing officeholders from
party politics Among the most outspoken is
W. II. Kemble. the famous addition. division.
and silence man. who is one OF the Pennsylva-
mia Ring masters. He says the order is palpa-
hly inslncere. and gives this revelation OF tho
inside workings OF his party: Some time
ago Mr. Schurz wrote out fine epeoch
which he agreed to deliver three times a
week for $500 week for us. and we
took It In Pennsylvania to the extent OF
1900. We raised the money partly by
assessments on officials and partly by contri-
buttons from Republicans Of means. but Mr..
Schurz didn't stop to inquire who paid the
money. Hayes had everything at stake in car
rying Ohio in October Of last year. Had he lost
that State there would have been n Tilden
whrlwind in November that would have swept
not only Ohio. but Pennsylvania. Wiscon-
sn. Nevada. Oregon. and California. and
Ohio. was, saved by President Hayes and
his friends appealing to us for money To

by profitable contracts.
