REFERRING to the discussion about
the number of votes by which the pro
hibition amendment failed in the State,
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says
All will agree that. with the aggregate
vote of the State 7l1.691, and the pro-
hibitery vote S2O,6OS, a change of 35,2SS
voters from the opposing to the affirma-
tive side would carry.
The number of votes required to carry
the amendment, with Ill ,69I cast, was
1854 The number actually cast was
32O,60S, or 35.23S less than needed, while
the opposition WAS 35,237 stronger than
was necessary to beat the amendment
The one lacked 35,23S, and the other had
So .23T surplus.

SERGEANT MASON, who tried to re
ieve the government from hanging
Guiteau, by shooting him, and who is
now in the Penitentiary at Auburn, n.
Y, serving out sentence of eight years
for that offense seems in a fair way to
be pardoned. More than nine hundred
thousand people representing every
State and Territory in the Union, have
petitioned for his release, and Judge
Advocate Swain is of the opinion that
President Arthur will soon act in ac-
cordance with this, the largest memo
rial ever presented on one subject in the
history of the country.

AND now Henry B. Payne of Cleve,
land shows up as "A candidate to succeed
Pendleton in the United States Senate.
The machine bosses, headed by Mclean,

ward Mr.. Payne, and urge in his behalf
that he Is every rich man," which
gives keynote to the whole business

SITUATION OF GREAT CITIES.

Of all the great cities of the word
New York is the least suited to the
wants of vast population. And yet,
in a point of natural facility, situation,
air, the convenience of sanitary arrange
ment, climate and latitude, New York
has advantages far beyond any of her
rivals. London lies in bleak, northern
latitude, in an island washed by tenn
pestuous, angry seas, in flat, low
country, far inland, with no access to
the sea except by narrow, winding,
sluggish river. London, too, by the
effect of nature, the unusual humidity of
the climate, and the ever-present fog
and cloud which sweep over the English
islands, added to artificial arrangements
in the way Of coal manufactures, is for
certain weeks of the year the most un-
comfortable city in the world. There
are days of gloom when it is impossible
to see across a narrow street, when peo-
pie walk in midday with lanterns when
grimy, disease.breeding fogs permeate
every home. Paris is in low country.
on the banks of small river, with an
unusual rainfall, and with more than the
ordinary number of uncomfortable days
in the year, SO far as the weather is con-
cerned. Vienna is very cold in winter
and very warm in summer. Its inhabi-
tants have the fierce tempests from the
plains in one month and the still fercer
blasts of burning air in other months.
Pekin lies in latitude where people are
burned to death in summer and frozen
to death in winter. Toxic is, perhaps,
the best situated of all the great cities
with the exception of New York. The
sea washes the outlines of it's municipal
ity, there are large spaces for public re-
creation, and were it not for the tend
ency to earthquakes, which makes life
an excitement in Japan, it might be re-
garded as the favored city of the world.

PROTECT THE FORESTS,

Those who have read the late census
reports of the rapid destruction of the
timber in the great numbering districts,
and note on the maps the location of
forests distant from navigable streams,
will see at glance that in the near fu-
ture lumber must largely increase in
value from necessary increase of cost in
procuring it. Men raised in woody
countries seem to cultivate an enmity to
trees and the destruction from the ak,
from carelessness and from fires can
scarcely be overestimated. It has been
the history of the West and Northwest.
There are millions Of acres which have
been denuded of their forests to make
way for farms, where to-day single trees
that were then sacrificed would sell for
more money than any acre of the
ground. It'may be said that this was
necessity, which is doubtless true to
certain extent; but that necessity does
not continue. The man who owns forest
should guard it and reasonably expect in
the future rich reward for his care. It
would seem as if the time had arrived
when the United States should initiate
something of the wisdom of the German
empire in protecting it's timber, and, as
well, replanting large districts not other
wise used. Germany has acted far more
wisely in this matter than other European
countries. Italy, Spain, Austria and
Russia have allowed the destruction of
millions of acres of as fine forests as
ever grew, aud are now paying the pen
atty of gathering their lumber from
mountains and plac difficult to reach,
or importing from other more favored
countries. The Gulf States and Oregon
and it's adjacent Territories are yet rich
in fine timber. That there should be
some sure means of protecting it from
needless rayage and destruction no
thinking man can doubt.-Lnte,' Ocean.
