at the headwaters of the Mississippi and
its tributary streams are being destroyed,
ten or fifteen years will witness their al
most total humiliation. We are already
beginning to experience the evil effects or
the thinning out process in the increase of
sudden overfows along the Mississippi,
Rum and st. Croix rivers. The spring
suns have unrestricted freedom of action
on the winters accumulation of snow, and
the rains have equal freedom of action.
The consequence is the frequent
freshets that sweep down our fertile
valleys, carrying death and destruc-
ton in their path. 1t is to be
feared that these freshets will continue to
increase both in frequency and destruct-
iveness as the work of cutting down the
trees goes on. The righteousness of the
lumbermen is so great that they are con-
stantly extending the area of their opera
tons. All they care for is present profit,
and they care little for the future so long
as they are able to line their own pockets.
The abolition of the tariff on lumber
would have opened the Canadian forests to
our markets. The timber across the border
is inexhaustible, many of the forests just
on the border being scarcely touched by
the axe of the woodman. The lumber i'm
ported from Canada under free trade
would diminish the necessity for such great
destruction of trees as is now going on,and
would not materially iniure the numbering
interest. The profits of manufacturers of
this product are sufficiently large to enable
them to compete with Canada. They would
not be forced into bankruptcy on this &C
count, and where so large proportion OF
the people are interested something should
be done to protect our forests from wanton
| destruction.

THE resignation of United States Treas
urer Gilfllan, after faithfully and honora
bly, occupying the position, calls to mind
a bit of unpublished biography of this re-
firing officer and the particulars of his rise
from $1,000 treasury clerkship to the
head of that department OF the govern
ment service. Gilfllan originally hailed
from Connecticut, and graduated at Will
liams college in 1856. Garfield enter
ing this class in Sophomore year, was
not particular favorite of this high
toned student, and the breach was not
thoroughly spanned between them until at
the end of the senior year, when they took
their respective ''sheepskins" and sepa-
rated. Gilfllan, after trying his hand at
several occupations, at length became the
editor and proprietor of country news
paper in the Nutmeg state, and after a
precarious experience gave it up, and sue
ceeded in obtaining an insignificant treas
ury clerkship. In order to live and sup
port his family he walked several miles to
and from his home in the outskirts of
Washington, carrying his lunch, and
munching it all alone by himself at noon
time. While Garfield, then a member
of congress, was visiting the
treasury buildings in company with ia
vorite classmate, the fact of Gilfllan's
position and situation was brought to his
notice and he Immediately took measure:
to have the Office of an assistant to Spin
ner created, and a short time after Spin
ner's retirement Gillian succeeded to the
place.
