iously decreased Wien such troops are in

moral influence OF tho bayOnct and sabre

pensible. because the combat arrives at a
stage when even the delay In loading Of a
breech. loader decreases the effectiveness Of
the soldier and even places him ut a posi-
tive disadvantage. Tho extra weight ola
bayonet is not more than that of a dozen
rounds of Ammunition. For the sabre less
can be said thnn for the bayonct. but there
can be no doubt as tO lts value as a cavalry
arm. We do not believe European soldiers
will abandon the bayonet and sabre until
more effective substitutes are afforded them
than the tic and pistol. For special
services each arm is In its term the superior
weapon.

Nebraska having 100000 acres, can
show only about 100000 acres Of forest land.
Places that were recently covered with
dense forests are now almost naked, because
Of the disastrous fires. Thi, leaves the land
open to settlement. Missouri with 10000
900 acres, has fully 6 100000 acres oftimber
land. Not more than 6 per cent. of the
area Of Kansas is in forest land, and this is
mainly in the eastern part of the state and
along the banks of the rivers. Efforts are
being made in Kansas and Nebraska to re-
store the growth of trees, and in some cases
good success has attended the movement.
Arkansas is highly gifted in the way of
forests. She has 10000, 900 acres of timber
of her SO 100000 acres, while only a tenth
of Colorado is forest land.

g~cstions which, had they been needed would
have averted the conflict now raging. These

SABRE AND BAYoNET.
New York Herald.

SHesA
The suggestion that these weapons can
now be considered obsolete and useless for
military purposes is agitating military cir
clcs, and conflicting opinions are expressed
respecting it. The pleas are made that the
accuracy of the modern military rlGed
brcech loader renders a direct and decisive
collision between hodies of troops next to
impossible; that consequently weapons
unnecessary and only cucumber the. soldier,
and that an important reform in the train.
ing of the soldier will be to concentrate his
attention and reliance on the simple and
effective weapon instead of allowing both
to be divided by u compound arm In which
the useful becomes only a handle for the
useless part. Among the eminent military
authorities who favor the withdrawal of the
sabre and bay0net from the soldiers equip
ment Of arms is General Grant. His Inter.
esting conversation On5thc subject of Ger.
man officers at Berlin shows that he regards
both weapons rs obsolete, and would sub
stitut for the cavalryman's sabre a pistol
for use ut close quarters. But we regard
the weight ut opinion, pro and con, as be.
ing in favor of the retention Of cold steel.
The German officers certainly, and, as We
