Huron Papers express the fear that the
Milwaukee road, which is to be extend
ed from Letcher to Aberdeen, will cross
the Northwestern road twelve miles west
of Huron, following a route surveyed
last fall. It seems to be the settled pol
icy of these two companies to avoid each
others towns, 80 far as is possible. The
Milwaukee studiously keeps away from
the large towns on the Northwestern
lines and the Northwestern returns the
compliment.

The Floods-A Lesson.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette reads
the public lesson growing out Of the
floods which have Just visited that city and
other places I'm the valley Of the OHIO
river. 1t declares that the destruction Of
the forests in the mountains, or near the
head-waters of the tributaries of the Ohio,
was the cause OF large proportion of the
excessive rise in the river It's article is
very much like one we wrote a few days
before the floods. The Commercials Gazette
says truly that the low water Of summer
and the high water Of freshets are both
caused by the denudstion OF the lands.
The reasons are evident to any one who
investigates the subject at all. We quote /:
"Take n mass Of mountains on the Allie
gheny, Monongahell, or Kanawha. Let us
suppose them clothed with trees from foot
to crown. and with underbrush and MOSES,
with beds of half-decayed leaves, resting
upon soil that represents deposits Of leaves
and vegetable growth for thousands of
years. Each mountain is an enormous
sponge. The rain may fall for days, and
the greater part is absorbed, saturating The
soil, the grass, the leaves, lingering in the
busnts anu TIC tIttS. Hc udE-utCslNtu
logs will hold barrels OF water, and for
weeks after heavy rain the moisture is
trickling away in thousands OF flush
springs.
"Cut away the trees-the underbrush
perishes, the moss is dried up, the soil
washed away, and the rocks are exposed.
The rains descend, and the mountains she'd
the water like the roofs of houses. All
that falls makes its way into the torrents at
once.
"Take thousand mountains at the head
waters of the Ohio, and'reduce them to bar
renness, and il follows that the river is
lower in dry weather and higher in wet
weather, and more and more subject to eX-
tremes OF high and low water"
These remarks are Of universal applica-
ton. The lesson attempted to be taught
is as much needed in Virginia as in Ohio
or Kentucky. 1t is lifetime matter TO
restore forests once destroyed. IL the
mountain-sidcs are too steep, the forests can
never be restored. Not only will the rain
water run oil rapidly, but the land itself
Will be utterly ruined. II cannot be sue
cessfully cultivated. Gradually it is washed
away, obstructing the navigation OF the
rivers, and doing service neither in grow
ing crops of cereals nor In producing tim
Der.
II the present generation will talk enough
on the subject, the next generation may act
liDOn the advice

Political Points.

Whatever comes OF the tariff. says the
Providence Press. Congress ought not to
adjourn without passing the bills provi-
ding for the presidential succession and
determining presidential inability.
The New York Sun thinks that if John
NJ. Palmer should have in the next Demo-
cratic National Convention the unanimous
support OF all the delegates from Illinois,
he would be pretty likely to be nominated
for President.
The New Haven Conn., Register hopes
the Republicans will hang fast to Mahonc'S
cOat-tails, for the Democracy cannot afford
to accept any overtures from this man, who
has again and again broken faith with the
Virginia Democrats.
The Washington Post is OF opinion that
politicians who have been retired by gen.
eral consent are not the material from
which the President, by and with the adj
vice and consent OF the Senate, il expected
to construct the Civil-Seryice Commission.
The Boston Post, commenting on what It
terms the prohibition sham in Maine, says ::
There are scores Of men in the Maine Legis-
Iature who talk and vote for ii for political
effect, but who drink wliskey whenever
they can get it. This statement is made
after personal investigation, and the writer
Will swear before any justice Of the peace
that, according to his knowledge and be-
lief, il is a true one.
The Boston Herald says the views OF
Senator Malone as to the consideration he
should receive for helping the Republicans
to organize the Senate are now said 10 in
clude his own appointment to a position
on the Finance Committee, and adds
this comment: "Thc only question for the
Republicans to consider is whether they
cannot pay too high for the aid OF the Re-
adjuster senator's. With General Mahone's
peculiar ideas as to settlement Of public
debts, can the Republicans afford to place
him upon the Finance Committee OF the
Senate? Can they justify themselves to
the country in electing, at his dictation, a
clerk who has stood up as the defender Of
the star-route thieves? The control OF the
next Senate, with the House strongly DEM
ocratic, is not worth the price which the
ReGdiuster leader Is said to have put upon
it."

Tho Convention.

In the following article the State exhibits
the same spirit which was manifested so
conspicuousiy by the members Of the State
Central Committee In discussing the same
question:
"Wbile we have advocated much ear
lier day for that representative body to be
called together, and given, rs we think,
very good and sufficient reasons therefor,
vet we were aware that quite large num-
her Of our party friends differed from us
an that point, and we freely admit adj
yanced some very good, IL not entirely con-
yincinc, arguments In favor OF delay; and
while we still hold to the opinion that the
work Of reorganization which the conyen-
ton Il called to inaugurate should have
been begun as early as possible, we yield 10
the wisdom and logic OF the committee,
and are content 10 accept and abide bytheir
decision. -.
"In the mean time letus not be idle, Dut
work Increasingly In preparing the mlnds
OF our people for the duties they have 10
perform in organizing for 50 complete n
victory over Bossism and Radicalisln, es-
pecially the former, that viii stamp them
out forever in Virginia"
We trust that the States article may
serve as a model for all those of our De
mocratic contemporaries who have adj
yocated an carrier Convention.

The Naxt Senate.

We do not understand the repeated rcsc-
reuces made in the Journals OF the day to
The alleged fact that the two MALONE scna-
tors from Virginia will hold the balance OF
mower in the United States Senate after The
Atm Of next month. The present Senate
consists OF 81 Democrats and 81 Republic
cans. and Of DAVID DAVIS and WILLIAM
MnnoxE-practically a tic between The two
parties. Consequently General MALONE
has not held the balance OF power since
MIR. ARTHUR became President OF tie
United States. When Mr.. RiDDLEBEResR
enters the Senate the body will consist
Of 70 Republicans counting him and MA
HoSE) and 81 Democrats, provided there be
no other change in that body than the one
caused by the expiration Of Senator JOHN
xrox's term. There will be, however,
several other changes. KELLOGG VIII give
Mace 10 a Democrat DAVID DAVIS VIII
give place TO an out-and-out Republican,
rs will also Mr.. GROVER, Of Oregon. AS
we have counted Mr.. DAVIS with the DEM
ocrats Of the present Senate-because nc
refused always to vote to turn out the
Democratic officers Of the Senate--it viii be
seen that the changes we have mentioned
will cause the next Senate to consist OF
36 Democrats, IS Republicans, and Ma
HONE and RJDDIEBERGER. All, therefore,
that can be said as TO the power OF the TWO
Virginia senator's Is that by voting with
the Democrats they could prevent the Re-
publcans from turning out the Democratic
officers of the Senate. But the Repubh'
cans in the United States Senate know per-
fectly well that MALONE and RIpDLEpERGER
cannot afford to do such an act as that. we
set Il down as absolutely certain, therefore,
that the Republicans in the Senate will not
consent to consider any claim to peculiar
fayors which the Virginia senators may set
up as consideration they ought to have
for voting as they are obliged TO vote.
We saw II stated some time ago that Mr..
BECK and another Democratic senator had
determined to vote with the Republicans
rather than allow MALONE and RDDLEBER-
GER to hold rod over The Republican sena-
tors and thus command patronage to which
they have no claim. But the report was
discreditcd by the fact that all that those
senators need to do in order to accomplish
the end they were said to have in view is
TO refrain from voting when the election Of
officers is going on.
II may be possible that one Of the new
senators whom we have counted as Re-
publican is not to be fully relied upon as
such. We know not how otherwise it can
be feared that the Republicans will have to
come under additional obligations to Gene
raj MALONE.

TIE BRITISH CoNsTITuTIoN.-We have
learned during the last two years that
there are intelligent men in Virginia who
suppose that the word constitution" has
the same meaning IN England as in the
United States, where it has almost entirely
lost it's original signi1cation. We think OF
II IN this country as describing an instru-
ment which binds legislative body. In
England lhe legislative body makes con-
stitutions The number OF constitutions
OF the Church OF England, says the Politi-
cal Dictionary. is one hundred and forty
one. With ahis introduction we quote the
following paragraph from Tory writer ia
England:
ain the United States a written consti-
tuition is only changed in minor points at
long Intervals, and with elaborate securities
against capncious innovation. In England
abe constitution is an imaginary generaIi-
zation from Law aud from experience. The
sovereign legislatuae can do anything ex-
eept destroy Itself; hat deyia.ions from the
spnt and tradition, Of Government are. by

General Malone and the Tobaeco-Tax.
WASHINGTON CITY. ID. g.,
February IA, 1888.
To the Editor Of the Dienatch.

February IL, 1888.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
As usual Malone blows his own horn
Justify in the Wing, and claims all the
credit for the reduction of the tobacco-tax
in the United States Senate Now for the
facts in the case. All the Democrats with
few exceptions were in favor OF the re-
duction. All the Republicans with few
exceptions were against il because II was a
tax on southern industry.
Malone was for reduction provided he
could lead against reduction IL a southern
man and Democrat ted. To secure Ma
homes vote certain. and probably some
other Republican votes, after consultation
1t was agreed by the Democrats to put
Malone in the lead, and Mr.. Beck
was to turn the conduct OF the
amendment over to Malone. This
was done by Mr.. Beck, as shown by
the Record; and Mr.. Malone and eight
other Republicans voted for the reduction.
Malone voted against reducing the tobacco
tax to II cents per pound last session be-
cause the motion was made by Democrat.
and il was certain he would vote against
reducing the tax to cents per pound
unless he or some other Republican made
the motion. He was put i'm the lead by the
Democrats, and by threats of desertion,
bulldozing, &C., Malone secured for the
reduction eight votes. Who secured the
twenty Democratic votes? IL makes no
difference. II Malone had not sold out TO
the Republicans last year, and threatened
to desert them this, the eight Republican
votes would have been against the reduc-
ton, and the amendment lost. Then Nir-
ginia must get relief at the hands of the
Republicans by the sacrifice Of the honor
and integrity Of one OF her sons. God
save the Commonwealth, ere Malone sinks

General FITzHUGH LEE has secured the
good will Of Field-Marshal MURAT HAL
STEAD, who says OF him:
"General Fitzhugh Lee has grown up
! TO see some things that were once obscure
to many Of Che good citizens Of his State,
and he speaks right out in a manly and
handsome way. The other day, in New
York, he was toasted, and the band played
Garry Me Back to Old Virginia Shore
and General Lee, instead of clarifying the
mistakes of other days and attempting to
magnify sectional pride and local pOmp,
said"
And the extract follows.
Undoubtedly, as we have said before,
General Fuz. LEE resembles his Uncle
ROBERT in his sterling, sound sense. We
have never heard OF his putting foolish
remark into any speech he ever made either
in the South or in the North. He hes spo-
ken again and again from Massachusetts
to Louisiana, and still preserved his repu-
tation for wisdom.

We believed that the best interests OF the

Convention at as early day as it could be
gotten together. We know nothing yet to
alter our opinion; but, as in the multitude
OF counsel there is wisdom, let us hope
that the action taken was dictated by wis
dom and prudence. In one thing at least
we are confident that the committee have
acted wisely: That is the selection OF
Lynchburg as the place Of meeting. twill
bring out a stronger representation from
Southwestern Virginia here than it would
at Richmond, and the Southwest is to be
our stronghold in the next election
