How England Acted in DeEonetiz-
 ing Silver.

Silver was demonetized in England in 1916; but the act was not passed in the dark, nor was the knowledge of it confined to few scientific men," it was not kept secret from the public, but was long and thoroughly discussed. It was not exacted by a mere omission, but was done openly and deliberately, and every man in England knew it. How dId that transaction stand moral ly? The British debt was then at it's highes, sum. It was overwhelming Specie payments were suspended. The national honor was pledged to pay that debt in silver or gold; all private debts were payable in silver or gold {; " good faith" " demanded that there should be no tampering with the stand ards of values Silver was the legal tender,-the money of the people. But silver at that time was, as gold is now, the dearer metal. If the relative values Of gold and silver in 1916 were the same at this tune the American dollar of 412l5 grains would now be worth about 116 cents in gold. Gold was then worth about eighty-four cents Tn silver; but the British Government demonetized silver, abolished the dear CT metal as legal-teDder, and made the gold-eighty-four cent dollars-the ex- elusive standard in payment of all debts, public and private That was the way Great Britain dealt with her creditors, and no one ever questioned the right of that Government to select the cheaper money with which to pay Chicago Tribune

Where Is Ghe Land ?

E. B. Perrin, 4O2 Kearney street, San Francisco, adverlises various tracts of land for sale, and this is clipped from his advertisement, viz:
 ARIZONA-16O, 900 acres fine graz ing and timbered lands in Arizona, with an annual rainfall of twenty-fOur inches, and climate equal to that of San Jose, at sixty cents per acre
 A great many people informed on Arizona lands and the requirement of titles thereto, will feel like inquiring not only where this land is? but at what land-oflice or by what means he obtained title to such a quantity? Our impression is that no Spanish or Mex ican grants have been confirmed, and that entries at the local land offices have been for small tracts and in most instances by actual settlers. We would not intimate that MT. Perrin is offering for sale what he does not possess, but cannot help intimating to buyers that they would do well to personally ex- anime the lands before purchase of them Sixty cents all acre is cheap enough for almost any sort of land, but seems to be entirely too cheap for the kind described.

Forest Preservation and Culture.

WASHINGTON, December 2S. S.- Dr. Hough, Commissioner of Forestry, in
 his report to be transmitted to Congress shortly, will recommend that home stead or pre-emption settlers be re- quired to plant certain portions of their
 tracts with trees before acquiring com
 pleled title; that instead of selling tim
 Der land the government should sell only the privilege of cutting timber, and that foreSters should be regularly appointed and trained by the govern ment He suggests that State govern. mentS may also promote the growth Of forests by offering premiums ex- empting forests from taxation. dispens- Ing with needless fence laws, levylng a tree tax similar tO the road tax, and planting hedges for protection against winds and snowdrifts, aiding educational institutions to give instruc- tiOn in tree culture, requiring system atic reports to be made upon the eX- tent and resources of forests within theIr boundaries, and by comforting upon municipal authorities powers to lay out parks for the growth and i'm pIDNtLltul Ol trees. A Dlli uIdlltu DA MT Andrews, of Minnesota, eX-Minis- ter to Sweden, will accompany the re- port. It requires that in all future clearing of public lands trees shall be left for see1 al intervals of seventy feet in each direction. The report will also be accompanied with statistics showing the results of experiments in forest raising made in the United States
 This is a move Tn the right direction. It should, if not in detail, in the main have the encouragement of all public journals and good citizens. THE CITI- ZEN is carefully watching all proposi- tions regarding timber and irrigation projects, and is glad to be able to say that some worthy progress is being made.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., January 5.-| The President has set aside the en- tire proceedings in the courtmartial case of Capt C. II. Campbell of the Sixth Cavalry. Copies of his order of disapproval, and of the reports of the Secretary of War and Judge Advocate General, on which it is based, have. been sent, by hIs direction, to each member of the Court. and 10 Colonel KautZ, the Commanding General of theI Department of Arizona. This very unusual action attracts considerable attention in army circles and among. Pacific Coast people. It is universally regarded, and was doubtless intended
 as a very pointed rebuke, both to the Court and to kautZ. It appears from the records in this case that kautZ was summoned as witness for the defense
 Capt Campbell proposing to prove, in mitigation of certain charges of de voting Government property to private uses, that he had simply adopted a' custom and followed an example set before him by his Commanding Gen. eral; but KauJz, while stil! under sum i mons, left the Department on private business, and went to the Atlantic States, without allowing himself 10 be examined. The Court, nevertheless, ! proceeded to close the case, and for warded 10 KautZ in the east d sentenceI of dismissal. kautZ received the full record of proceedings while in CincIn- natl, although he had no authority whatever to exercise the functions of Commanding General of the Depart ment of Arizona outside of its geo graphical limits, and although hls ap- proval of a sentence rendered under the circumstances above indicated was manifestly anomalous, and glarlnglyI at variance with all the safeguards of judicial protection. The facts and cir cumstances all appearing in the rec ord, were speedily discovered by the proper reviewing officers in Washing-l ton, and President Hayes without hes italion took action upon them as above described, annulling ihe whole pro
 ceedings and discharging Capt Camp bell from further arrest or custody.
