The International Monetary Con-
sersnce is little understood or heard
Of in England. The few papers
which take any notice OF its proceed
iDgs are hostile to it. The Economist
says: "If the action Of the United
States is in any way. dependent on
that of England, the rejection of the
bi-metallist proposals follows. as, a
matter of course. This country
certainly will never consent to their
adoption" The Saturday Kevisw
also declares that the bi-metallic pla,i
is impossible, and che Pail Mall
Gazette says:1 "Englshd can tns
more adopt bi.metallism than she
can change her language" The Pal

advice from the editorial {
columns Of the New York Herald, is
still timely The rapidity with
which our forests are disappearing
aud the indifference of the great mass
of the people on the subject have
stimulated the state and municipal
authorities in many parts of the
country to which means and methods
to encourage tree planting and to
prevent the reckless destruction Of
those that remain. In some of the
western states, notably in Michigan,
one day In the year 10 devoted to the
setting out Of young trees, every
citizen being expected to plant one.
This is al excellent idea, and if it " ere
generally followed all over the
country its beneficial effects would
in short time be clearly manifest.
As step in the same direction the
legislature Of Connecticut has had
the wisdom aud good sense to unani-
meusly pass 3 law on the subject Of
fering premiums to those who plant
or preserve trees along the public
highways. This salutary measure,
taken in connection with the muni-
clpal encouragement " hich is already
held out by many Of the towns and
villages of our sister commonwealth,
will no doubt be productive Of the
best results. The farmers who live
in the vicinity of towns and villages
make q great mistake in not paying
more attention to forest culture. The
expense of planting . piece Of wood
land or of beautifying their grounds
with trees is comparatively trifllng,
while in q few years they will find
their properties largely inereased in
value from the fact that they are
thus beautified. Tao climatic In.

The greenbackers made q great to-de
about their hostility to the national
banks In the last session Of congress, but
they voted with the republicans, all the
same, against reducing interest to per
cent, the reduction being just what tho
banks did not want. and they also lett 1t
for Mr.. Voorhes, a democrat, to offer
the following g:-"Rssolved, That the
hostile attitude assn med by the national
banks toward the retunding of the ma
tional debt at low rate ef interest, and
the recent attempt to dictate the legisla.
ton OF congress on that subject, are con-
trary to the best interests of the people,
and we'll calculated to excite their alarm
tor the future" Having aided tn,
banks with theirI votes, the amiable De
LaMatyr and Gillette are now roaming
about the country yawping about tn
danger Of the national banking system
and the evidence of it in their attempted
bulldozing OF congress, and successful
effort IN running money up on Wal
street one day to 500 per cent, with
. narrow apargin tor q panic. 1t is no
just yet an auspicious time for thes
charlatans to attempt to teach the pee
pie their theory of fnance-especiall
because they never hold to one longe
than change or two OF the moon.

We hear good deal frsm republicans
about whites in the south bulldozing
blacks, but never anything regarding
the bulldozing of colored men by other
colored men, at the instance OF the Cod
and Morality party. which breaches the
gospel of hate. They seem to forget
such incidents as tho ono that occurred
at the Arkansas state election, down in
Monroe county, where leading colored
man-Eldsr Dec. Cotton, of the Mount
Pleasant church, Montgomery township
voted openly the straight democratic
ticket. explaining the reasons why he
did SO. The voting was done at Indian
Bay. The following Sunday a meeting
was held BY the congregation Of the
church of which he was member in
good standing, he was raked over the
Goals. and expelled from churohlfor vet-
Inc. the democratic ticket. Doubtless Doc
Cotton thinks this is bulldeEing; but, as
he says, the Lord God Almighty is on
his side. The sooner the negroes begin
to think for themselves, and to learn to
talk politics with future rather than in
tho past the more sense they will dis.
play. and tho more respect they will
receive.
