to pay it, is robbery. and robbery of the
most impudent and undisguised kind. No
doubt there are many people in the world
who think it would be fine thing if all
who possess anything could be despoiled,
and themselves enriched with the plunder,
but it does not require familiarity with the
science of political economy to discover
that civilization could not be carried for
ward upon any such arrangement. Sup
posing somebody was to get up and formu-
late the proposition, Wages are robbery,
and the workingman who demands pay
for his labor is tyrant. Every
body would at once agree that this was
foolish, but it is not whit sillier than the
assertion that "rent is robbery" As ap-
piled to the Land League, moreover, the
proposition would be fatal one, for it
happens that the people who in Ireland are
just now demanding "the three Fs I" are
not the mass Of the Irish people, but mi
nority of land tenants, beneath whom lie
the great body of landless laborers.
Now if these tenants are entitled to
wrest the land from the landlords,
it follows that the laboring class
are equally entitled to wrest it
from them; bat it is very certain
that they do not subscribe to that logical
view, for if they did they would never
have entered upon this agitation. If
however the ''rent is robbery programme
is to be applied in America, it is time the
Americans began to examine it-for them
selves. If rent is robbery, then nobody,
not even the State, can have any title to
real estate or improvements, for it would
be just as much robbery for the Govern
ment to demand rent, as for an individual.
If rent is robbery it follows that it is
dishonest to build homes, or that capital
so invested ceases thenceforth to be the
property of the investors. This somewhat
resembles Mr.. Jere Blacks singular thee
ries about railroad investments, though we
doubt if even he would be willing to in.
dorse this latest expansion of his doctrines.
It is to be regretted that American public
men should be so ready to lend the sanction
OF their names to meetings at which suct
outrageous and subversive propositions art
ventilated, the more especially since there
is now an evident intention to transfer tht
Land League contest to this continent.

BRADY AND JAMES.

The course of the Washington news
paper alleged to be the special organ of
Assistant Postmaster Brady, towards Post
master-General James, appears to indicate
an apprehension that the latter contem-
plates a publication of the department, and
that this cannot be carried out without in
jury to Mr.. Brady. As the latter has
been specifically accused of corruption by
ex-Congressman Kinds, in connection with
the star contract business, it may be
thought not unnatural that he should feel
uneasy at the advent to the control of pos
tai affairs of man so noted as Mr.. James
for his reform predictions. The
National Republican, however, seems to
have showed very little judgment in
threatening the Postmaster. General asit has
done. 1t is reported as telling him that
"it will not do for him to set up
"as a reformer, or to do anything
"that may cast reflections upon the
administration of his predecessor. And
1t tells him that any imputation upon
the business methods or honesty OF
"those who had recent control of the
"Postoffice will be disastrous to his best
=" interests and detrimental to those of his
"party." This isa kind of menace which
no man of spirit can put up with, since it
implies that something discreditable to him
will be disclosed if he does not keep his
hands off. As to the party, it can take
care of itself, and it has nothing to gain
by the covering up of official malfeasance.
Ii Mr.. Brady is corrupt the factought to be
demonstrated, and he ought to bepromptly
removed. Postmaster, General James can
hardly, after this threat, abstain from
action in the premises without compromis.

EyERYTn1NG Has IT'S PART TO PLAY

EVERYTHING HAS It's PART TO Play
Among the brilliant and deep things which
Sensier, the biographer of ]. F. Millet,
jotted down from the lips of the author is
this: "We can start from any point and
arrive at the sublime, and all is proper to
be expressed, provided our aim is high
enough. Then what you love with the
greatest passion and power becomes a
beauty of your own which imposes itself
upon others. Let each bring his own. An
impression demands expression, and espe-
cially requires that which is capable of
showing it most clearly and strongly. The
whole arsenal Of nature has ever been at
the command of strong men, and their ge-
MUS has made them take-not the things
which are conventionally called the most
beautiful, but those which suited best their
places. In its own time and place has not
everything its part to play: Who shall
dare to say that a potato is inferior to a
pomegranate ?"

THE EXTINCTION OF AMERICAN FOR
ESTS.

At the annual meeting of the Chicago
Lumbermen's Exchange, the President
stated in his address that owing to the
enormous growth of the lumber business it
will take only twenty years to exhaust the
great pine forests of the country, if the
present rate of depletion continues. This
is startling and suggestive statement.
1t is not altogether new danger that it
confronts us with, for public attention has
been called to the subject more or less earn.
estly during the past ten years. Congress
has gone so far as to appoint Commissioner
of Forestry, whose reports have simply con-
firmed all previous apprehensions in this
connection but no practical measures
have been adopted to check the rapid de-
struction of timber, or to provide for its
replacement hereafter. If, therefore, the
present rate of destruction will bring US to
the end of our pine forests in twenty years,
what are we to do when that end is
reached Nothing is more certain than
that we must provide for this great de.
mand in some other way, or suffer the
penalties of our neglect. A country de-
prived of timber must substitute some other
materials wherever possible. 1t must build
with brick or stone. 1t must import lum.
ber 1t must cease to use wood for fuel.
1t must in fact revolutionize many impor-
tant industries, in which large capital has
been sunk, and it must incur heavy losses
and sufferings before it can reinstate itself.
On the other hand, if Congress had pres
cience and sagacity enough to follow the
example of France, it could easily provide
for the reproduction of the greater part of
the destroyed forests in twenty years, and
then when that period had elapsed there
would be a fresh supply OF lumber equal at
least to what now remains. This is the
only wise and practical course to pursue,
but we regret to say that the probability
of its being pursued by Congress appears
very small. So long as men can steal tim
Der and make fortunes out of the robbery,
so long will they be enabled to pay lobby
to resist any statesmanlike effort to pre-.
serve and replace the now rapidly disap-
pearing forests, and so long will protests,
predictions and remonstrances on this SUBJ
iect pass alike futile.

FARMING UNDER THE SEA - Every
where upon the coast of eastern New Eng
land may be found, ten feet below the
water-mark, the lichen known as CARA
geen-the Irish moss of commarce. Il may
be torn from the sunken rocks anywhere,
and yet the little seaport of Scituate is
almost the only place in the country where
it is gathered and cured. This village is
the great center Of the moss business in the
country, and the entire Union draws its
supplies from this beach. Long rakes are
used in tilling this marine farm, and it does
not take long to fill the many dories that
await the lichen, torn from its salty rock
bed The husbands and fathers gather the
moss from the sea and the wives and
daughters prepare it for the market. Soak
it in water and it will melt away to a Jelly.
Boil it in milk and delicious white and
creamy blanc mango is the result The an
nual product is from 10 600 to $4,000 bar
rels. and it brings $50, 600 into the town,
which sum is SHRED by $50 families. Its
consumption IN the manufacture of lager
beer is very large, and the entire beer Of

beaches, as the importation from ireland

CURIOUS BooK.-A curious book called
" A TaImudic Miscellany" has been COM
piled by Herr Hershon, German scholar,
and was recently published in London.
The plan is very peculiar. The author
had noticed that numbers play g great part
in the Talmud. The first chapter of his
book contains ffty-four select passages in
which the word zone " occurs. An exam
pie is e One pang of remorse at 8 mans
heart is OF more avail than many stripes
applied to him." The book contains over
a thousand quotations, which are grouped
in chapters according to the order of the
numerals up to chapter eleven, which con-
tains TaImudic numbers from eleven to
ninety.nine. The succeeding chapters
reach 1000 myriads. Canon Farrar has
written the introduction, in which he
praises the plan as absolutely excluding
the temptation TO all arbitrary selection,
to any one-sided representation of the con-
tents of the Talmud in order to serve
purpose.
