WHAT WILL 1T PROFITf

@There shall be unanimous delegation for
"Grant from Illinois," Senator Logan, the
would-be dictator of that province, is said to
declare. Journals supposed to represent his
behests make the declaration openly. But
what good will 1t dot Who will gain, Mt this
late stage of the controversy, by that perform
ance7 Apparently Senator Logan assumes that
it is possible for him to do as he pleaSes in the
matter; but he may be mistaken. If he can,
however, what will he gainH
In order to get third-term delegation from
Illinois, confessed and beaten boilers from
Cook County must be admitted to seats instead
of the delegates chosen by the voters and,
second the custom in that State of choosing dis
trct delegates 10y districts must be disregaIded,
and the odious unit rule must be adopted and
enforced. If the State Convention takes that
course, there will be two delegations from
Illinois to the National Convention. The
men who oppose the thnd term will
appeal to the National Convention for justice,
and they will show that the only pretext upon
which the bolt in Cook County could have been
excused was the bare suspicion that the County
Convention might have done exactly what
the State Convention, In the case supposed,
will have done. They will say "lf 1t is
@right to use n bare majority in State Con-
vention to select or instruct whole delega-
ton for General Grant, it would have been
"equally right to use twO-thirds majority in q
"COunty Convention to select or instruct dele
"gatiOn against him. In that case, the pre-
"tended majority in this State Convention is
falsely and frauduently constituted and we
twill withdraw" Suppose, then, that Illinois
sends two delegations to the Chicago COnven-
ton, one for the ex-President and the other
against him, what will followf
The Committee on Credentials like the other
committees in the National Convention, will be
formed by States, the delegation from each
State selecting member. Thus far the friends
of General Grant have secured delegations
from only seven States-Arkansas, Florida,
Kentucky, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania
and Tennessee; and it is quite doubtful whether
the delegation from Arkansas can be held to the
third-term service. There are only four other
States in which 1t is possible for the third-term
faction to obtain majority. In Texas, the
delegation is supposed to be equally divided.
In Louisiana and Alabama, the delegations
have not been chosen. In Illinois, the status Of
the delegation, In the case supposed. will be In

FOREST FIRES.

1t Is hardly exaggeration to say that the
forest fires have laid waste the best and
largest portion of Southern Jersey. The dis
patches give a strange picture of the battles
of the farmers with the flames. The fires
three weeks ago left space of over two
hundred square miles bare and black, and
during the last ten days the flames have
almost wholly covered the spaces of wood
land and farms of which AtcO, Whcatland.
Centrevile, McdfOrd and LOngacOming are
the centres. The sea coast of New-Jersey has
a belt about fifteen miles in breadth, run
ming back from the shore, of scrub oak
and pines growing out Of dry white sand,
which il covered usually with o dead moss
winch burns like cotton. After q drouth Of
q few weeks this forest becomes dry as tin
der, and single spark Is enough to set in
motion frightful cOnhagratiOn. Tho nhab-
ltants of "the Pines" are, us n rule, charcoal
burners and poor farmers. who, in the best
of times, barely earn subsistence from their
little patches These are the people who have
been left homeless by the fires. Nearer the
coast are the fishing villages and tho line of
great Summer cities, all piles of lumber, more
or less ornamental, and offering food ready for
the flames.
The mere destruction of trees and crops by
fire gives us no idea OF the actual loss. Gram
berry boys to the value Of 100000 are
destroyed; the young people throughout the
whole pine region depend upon picking cram
berries and huckleberries for their Summer
support, the latter crop, as 1t has been
estimated, yielding employment to over
$4,000 women and children. The fishing
villages and sporting stations along the coast
are almost wholly dependent on the game In
the marshes, which attracts visitors from the
cities in Summer; now the marshes as well
as the woods are blackened waste, and
dead birds and animals strew the ground
"by the thousand" 1t will require
twenty years for the growth Of trees
and vegetation, necessarily slow in that
chilled atmosphere, to repair the damage of
the last month. In Pennsylvania the burning
of the timber lands has extended into the oil
region. We read of 5000 and 20,OOO-gal
oil tanks In flames yet it is doubtful whether
these enormous losses will produce more indi-
yidual suffering than the burning of the poor

TIE DE1rH or JUDGE CHrRcH

The death of Chief-Judge Church, of the
Court of Appeals, removes from public life
citizen who has held a number of dignGcd
positions in the gift of the people of this
State. Judge Church has been legislator, Con-
troller Lieutenant Governor, and Chef-Judge
of our highest Court, and has been conspicu-
ously before the public for nearly forty years.
His name has often been associated with
offices more distinguished than these, and he
was for many years a favOritc with
largo portion of MS party, and leader
among them. The news of his sudden death
will be received with regret by n large circle
of friends and admirers.
The remote effects of any event. whether
important or not are often curious
and interesting. This event, which is OF
much importance, is not an exception to
the rule. There will be, We are sure,
no indecOrOus haste III proposing or con-
sidering the question Of Judge ChurChs
successor, but the fact suddenly and i'm
peratively obtrudes itself that his death
will, strangely enough, have for its re-
mote result a considerable modification of
the plans of both parties In this State
for the Presidential campaign. The appoint
ment by the Governor to fill the va
cancY thus suddenly created will hold
good only until the end of the
year. Under the Constitution a Chief
Judge must be elected next November,
and it will therefore be necessary for
both parties to hold Conventions in the
Fall and nominate candidates. Both parties
have already nominated their electoral tick
cts, in order to avoid the necessity of q Fall
Convention. But Conventions must now be
held, and the change may have important re-
suits.

The roll of fair-mndcd Democrats in the
Senate who do not believe that the title to a
seat in that body can be reopened and readjudi-
Gated whenever q partisan majority sees fit,
was heightened yesterday by a second name.
Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio, came to the support
of Wade Hampton, and dealt blow at the
scheme for stealing Mr.. Kelogg's seat from
which it cannot recover. On Monday Mr.
Butler of South Carolina, will speak. His
position is a matter of peculiar interest from
the fact that he was admitted by virtue of
the tacit agreement which seated KellOgg-an
agreement which most of bis Democratic col
leagues now show a disgTaceful readiness to
repudiate. Mr.. Butler is dOubly bound in
honor to resist the movement for unseatiDg
Kellogg-trst, by his share of the obligation
taken by his party; and second, by the per-
sonal advantage he has derived from the ar
rangement which admitted him to the Senate
on doubtful title. He can hardly fail to
side with Hampton and Pendleton.

If there Is any part of the machinery of
Government which the Democrats in Congress
view with special aversion it is that for the
collection of the whiskey tax. For nearly a
year they have left without pay the marshals
and their deputies, whose business 1t is to
arrest illegal distillers. and now they have
goty the stOrekeepers and gaugers in such
fix that they can get nothing for their SER
vices The appropriation for paying them ran
out on the 1st of April and nothing has been
done toward making a new one, although the
Treasury Department has called the attention
of the proper committee to the subject This
incident is only an additional proof piled
upon mountain of accumulated evidence of
the inability Of the Democrats to transact the
business of Congress in q tolerably efficient
manner Our governmental machine is not
complicated one, but it Is too intricate for
them to manage. Between tho stupidity Of
some and the malice of others the bitches
and stoppages are becoming so frequent as to
arouse public indignation.

The fire which has destroyed the hOurishing
town Of Milton and rendered 5000 people
homeless teaches the old lesson that works
where infammable material such as varnish is
used should be remote from dwellings, espe-
cially when the place is poorly supplied with
facilities for arresting confagration. Gov
ernor Hoyts appeal in behalf of the distressed
people is. however, the first consideration.
Although addressed to the Pennsylvania
Mayors, this Is an emergency In which State
lines may be judiciously disregarded.
