The recent foods that were attended
with such disastrous consequences, in
the valleys Of the Rhine and Danube,
are attributed, in great part, by civil
engineers to the bad practice Of denud-
ins the mountains of their forest growth.
as then the earth of which these e,cva-
iions are composed is more easily carried
down into the low lands by the action Of
the waters. The beds of rivers thus be-
come raised by the deposits Of mud and
sand. the swollen floods overflow their
embankments and inundate the plains
1t is remarked that, in proportion as our
forests are disappearing, the freshets in
our rivers are alarmingly increasing,
aud should the timber lands Of tie
Northwest be cleared the Adirondack re-
gion will suffer from she denudation

resting the wholesale destruction Of tim
Der in the northern counties Of New

The confession Of weakness Of the De-

exhortatlon to harmony and concord,
contained in Mr.. George Colton's news
paper recently, was called by Mr.. Col

cratic press were ordered to preach SER
mons continually. We have not observ-
ed that this pious command was needed
ty the majority Of the clergy of Bishop
Coton's diocese, but we were gratifed
u note the promptncss with which the
reverend gentleman of the JoUnal re-
sponded to the call. Real, spontaneous
gratitude is, in this age of sublime sell
ishness, refreshing aud comforting. If
the .JquaI incumbent were enjoying
twice the comfortable living" which is
his he could not have done better,
because de did all he could. At any
rate he took Bishop Colton's text,
preached from it and called it sermon.
These must have been sermons, because
both the Bishop and the Joarnal incum-
bent SO said and we are, therefore,
bound to believe it, though ones sense
would have told us that it was music in

THE CRIMINAL LIBEL CASE.

Testimony Before the Police Court-Judge
vestigation.
The case of criminal libel against Mrs. Julia
A. Powell, brought by Mrs. Anna M. Boston,
the colored school teacher, was tried in tho
police court on Saturday, Messrs. w. A. Cool,
and w. b. Webb appearing for the defendant.
Trustee Brooks testified to tho facts ELECTED
in the Investigation made by him, and the
correspondence with Mrs. Boston published in
THE REPUBLICAN on Saturday.
Mrs Boston, the complainant, denied the
charges of Mrs. Powell, and stated that she
had had quarrel with Mrs. Powell. She
said sho was married woman, but did not
live with her husband. Mr.. King visited her
q number OF times.
Mrs Powell, the defendant, testified that
Mrs. Boston lived in the same house with her.
She, on one occasion, found Mr.. King and tho
complainant in an embarrassing situation.
Mrs. Wilson, tho mother of tho complain
ant, testified that Mrs. Powell said she would
go out and tell tale about Mrs. Boston and
get her out of tho school. Policeman Jauifer
testified to arresting Mrs. Powell.
Judge Smell said he was inclined to think
that the charge could not be sustained but il
the government wanted to be heard he would
continue the case for one week, which was
done. Tho court said that in n case where
the moral character of public school teacher
is questioned, the school authorities have q
right to investigate the charges when they
arc made in good faith. For If this could not
be dono improper persons could be imposed on
us to train our children's intollects and teach
them morals, and when they once get in they
could nover be gotten out if they could not
bo investigated.

The New York Tribune thus indorses the
recent rebuke OF Dezendorf by the civil service
commission
The civil service commissions letter to Mr.. De-
zendorf WILL 1t is to be hoped enlighten that gen.
teman's ignorance of tho powers of the national
government in dealing with political assessments.
The government cannot prevent clerks from sub
scribing to politics any more than to churches or
to newspapers, and cannot prevent applications
TO them. The civil service act went as far as the
government has q right CO. Under that law no
person Is permitted to nSk or receive from gov
ernment employe political contribution OH gov
ernment premises. No government officer or en-
ployo is permitted to ask him for any anywhere.
degrade or remove him for giving or refusing to
give; and he is not permitted TO hand such II Cou-
tributlOn to another government employe. Tho
circle is complete This Is stringent regulation
OF the action of government employees and of the
uses of government property as the law could
make. 1t could not go further without nbsurdity.
MIR, Dezendorf complains that to allow man to
solicit contributions just outside of q custom
house or navy yard and to hold that there he is
not violating the law, rs to mako the law farce
He ought to know that tho national government
can only play policeman inside of its own juris-
diction man who has been member of con-
gress should have a clearer notion of the func-
tions of the government. II Is true that the civil
service act in this respect can be easily evaded If
government employees are ready to connive ut their
own robbery. The matter is entirely in their own
hands. Let any government employe refuse to
pay political assessment however indirect, and
no officer will dare to injure him so long as this
law Is In existence AT the same time, 1t Is 10 be
expected that government employees, like other
citizens who take an interest in politics, will give
money voluntarily for legitimate campaign uses
when they feel able to do SO.
