The Fight Of the District Attorney
shin of West VIRGINIA,

The Interest in the contest for the United
States District Attorneyship OF West Virginia
was enlivened little yesterday by the arrival
here OF General Gofr and Judge jackson, and n
new candidate In the person OF NJ. A. Burlew,
OF Kanawha County. 1t Is understood that
General Con came this way on route to tho
White sulphur and Kanawha regions, and only
inside brief stop In the city, seeing no one at
all in relation 10 the place made vacant by his
resignation. ,r g.t
THE CRITIC met Judge Jackson at tho Ma
tienal last evening and asked him II he was
here to take n hand In behalf of Mr.. Hutchin-
sons appointment.
"oh, no." responded the Judge; ~ came
here on other and more important business to
me than that. 1 Will not interfere or urge the
appointment OF any one of the candidates."
at Is understood, judge said THE CRITIC,
shat you have very. strongly Endorsed your
townsman, Mr.. Hutchinson" .lt
sic asked me for letter and gave him one,
saying in substance that he was n candidate,
that no was a competent prosecutor, and that
II he should be appointed, had no doubt that
no would be able TO discharge tho duties of the
office with satisfaction to ALL"
"Thats all, is IL ~
letter ms would be willing to give either OF
the other candidates, should they ask for one.
l am taking no part whatever In the contest,
nor is II my intention to do so. All the candi-
dates are my friends, and would be glad to
see either Of them selected
1t is understood that Mr.. Burlew, who has
is New Yorker by birth, was raised In New
York and read law in New York city law

intimate friends OF President Arthur and who

Additional Testimony I'm the Chilian-
Peruvian Investigation.

Mr.. Robert II. Randall counsel for the Credit
Industriel, has been permitted by the chair
man of the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs to file with tho papers In the Peruvian
Chilian Investigation o sworn statement, In
tho nature OF an argument to show that Mr.
Blaine at one time fayorably received the
proposition of the Credit Industriel to assume
the payment of tho Peruvian war indemnity,
and to utilize the company's programme"
restoring peace between tho belligerents.
After submitting his proofs upon this point
which consist mainly of extracts from the
Official correspondence-Mr Randall states
his conclusion Ethus; "rhis must convince
every fair. minded man OF one OF three things
either that Mr.. Blaine ut that time when II
occurred was, as wo believed him to DO,
honestly and earnestly In favor OF utilizing
tho programme of tho Credit Industrial at all
hazards, or that he pushed the conventional
diplomatic license OF misrepresentation beyond
ali precedent and example, or that when he
testified before your committee he had uttorly
forgotten every material fact connected with
his South American policy"

MERRY MORRISON
Cracks, His Little Joke ut the Ex-
peuse of Reed. the Rule. Changer.

No one who don't know Hon. W. l.. Morrison
OF Illinois, intimately would ever suppose
there was the least humor whatever In him;
but those who known him well, arc aware OF
the fact that he has q dry vein OF wit and
humor always at hand ready for use that but
few possess. Mr.. Reed, of Maine, no doubt was
one OF those who did not know Morrison well
until few nights ago. Now, TO fully appro.
ciate the point, 1t is only necessary
TO call attention 10 the fact that,
pending the discussion In the House
during this session on the contested
election case between Lowe and Wheeler, the
Democrats, although In the minority, pre-
vented the Republicans from getting to vote
on tho question for fully week. The Repub.
lican ID were in a quandary rs TO how 70 get out
OF the dilema. They saw very plainly that
the Democrats, by parliamentary tactics,
could prevent the seating OF Mr. Lowe In spite
OF the majority us long as tho rules OF tho
House remained as they were. Mr.. Reed was
called into consultation by his Republican
brethren 10 furnish n remedy. He Mt once
said he had II and would bring It forth. Sure
enough In a few hours MIR. Reed reported
from the Committee on Rules
An Amendment 10 the Rule
under which tho Democrats were nllibuster-
ing, which amendment completely silenced
the Democratic batteries and captured tor tho
Republicans another Member. This much Is
said 80 as 10, as above stated, show the point
in Mr.. Morrlsons retort TO Mr.. Reed few
evenings since. 1t appears that a day or two
ago Colonel Hatch, an NJ. G. from Missouri, in.
vlted Mr.. Morrison TO dine with him at the
Hamilton House, which invitation was ac-
cepted. After dinner Senator Aldrich, who
stops at the Hamilton House, and Mr.. Reed
were invited by Colonel Hatch to Join him and
Colonel Morrison In game OF whist which
invitation was cheerfully accepted, aud In
few minutes tho four statesmen seated AT q
table, Colonel Hatch and Senator Adrlch
being partners against Messrs. Reed and
Colonel Morrison. Tho cards were dealt and
the game went on for hours, and, although
Reed and Morrison were tho best players, tho
cards, like the Rules before they were
amended,
Were Against Mr.. Reed,
and he and his partner were beaten every
game. Reed got out OF humor and began TO
curse the cards. Finally he became as 1t were
perfectly enraged and sworo and porspired,
while all hands laughed at his bad luck. At
last he snld
morrison is there no way to beat these fell
lows"
"Oh, yes, replied Morrison.
"HOw," asked Mr.. Reed.
'Amend the rules" answered Morrison, not
cracking rs much as q smilo.
'You go 10 hi" said the distinguished and
fat NJ. O. from Maine, and he picked up his hat
and left.

coupled to 1t that "thcre is no truth In tho

arsenic IN certain rosobuds sent them for OK.

question: "Why do not the people
OF California refuse TO employ the
Chinese?' AS q matter Of fact the
most Of them are not employed 10y

Another large proportion are en-
gagged in business on their own ac-

These Chinese manufactures are
placed upon the market by un~
scrupulous men without any distin-
gushing mark, and, Of course, find
ready purchasers, as they are offered
at lower rates than similar articles
made by white men. It is question:

articles, for as a rule they are made

CTR FORESTS.

The American people have been
so accustomed to hearing and read
ing Of our "ineXhaustible forests
that they can scarcely realize that
there is danger Of timber famine
q quarter of century hence unless
something is done either to decrease
the present rate Of consumption or
to increase the supply. There is
no probability Of the former course
being pursued; on the contrary, the
consumption is increasing.
The money value Of the timber
used in various ways exceeds billion
dollars annually. A large part of
this is consumed in building houses,
barns, mills, fences, etc. The one
hundred thousand miles of railroads
in the United States annually use
about forty-fve million ties, or the
growth of eighty thousand acres tor
thirty years. To fence these rail-
roads it costs nearly fifty million
dollars. and about fourth as much
is spent each year in keeping them
in repair. The putting up Of the
eighty thousand miles of telegraph
wire requires eight hundred thous-
and trees, and about three hundred
thousand arc used annually in keep
ing up the lines. The brick-yards
yearly use fifty thousand acres of
timber for fuel. A great quantity
in the aggregate is used IN making
such little articles as shoe-pegs,
matches, packing boxes, tool han
dies, etc. Over one hundred mill
lion dollars worth of lumber is an
nually used in the manufacture Of
wagons, carriages, and various i'm
plements. Probably twice as much
more is used in manufacturing fur
niture.
How long our forests will last is
a disputed question. The lnmber-
men are perhaps best able to estims
ate the amount uncut, and knowing
the rate Of consumption, be able to
calculate how soon the supply will
be exhausted.
The timber of this territory, prin
cipally in the western portion, and
that Of few others, is being cut
mainly for commercial purposes; but
in many of the eastern states most
of it was destroyed simply to get it
out of the way. Groves of walnut
trees, that would now be worth for>
tunes to the owners, have been cut
down, rolled into heaps and burned.
Millions of others have been girdled
and allowed to die slow death. 1t
was wise to remove some of these
trees, but fourth Of them at least
ought to have been allowed to re-
main.
