II is the custom Of some person, when
speaking or writing about any measure
which they believe to be unjust and
against the public polity, to u"r very
harsh and opprobriou-r plthe1> in order
70 express their diSapprobation. lnjus-
1icr is therefore frequently done 10 well
meaning citizens and occasion given
for complaint. AS an illustration Of
oar meaning we may remark that the
Gazette followed its announcement OF
the rejection Of the petition to til" City
Council to srtapart portion Of the sand
lot tor military purposes, with the de-
riaration that ''Eunn"ilman Quinn is at

Our Legislators can hardly afford to
stand in the position that such appropri-
alton of money necessarily places them,
and yet not word of condemnation has

Our Forests.

Our Forests.
Though the late Congress did as
well as it possibly could under the cir
cumstances, with the tariff and revenue
bills, 1t is still to he regretted that the
duty on imported lumber was not low
cred or entirely abolished. 1t is a ques-
who are slashing down the few remain
ing forests in the country is real pro
lection to the best interests of he coun-
try. 1t looks to IL reasonable mind as f
the great forests of which our nation
has been justly proud are to be
levelled to the ground for the sake of
satisfying the greed of few thousand
tumbermen who are getting rich by
lumber vandalism, under the special
protection of the laws of the United
States. Lumber will be needed years
hence as much rs now and while the
forests can be preserved without injury
~ the country, they should be protec-
ted. The tariff on lumber is just sutfi-
Gent to prevent the importation of it
from the Canauas across the border. In
consequence Of this the Canadian hills
are crowned with luxurious growth
OF timber, while the American hills are
being denuded and left stark and bare
OF their magnificent forest trees. The
tax on Imported lumber should have
been removed by the late Congress, and
then u rest for American forests would
have followed.
W lille we are cutting and Slashiug
down our forests other countries are
considering gravely the question Of how
10 renew their forest lands and bring
back the growth OF timber that was
once their glory.
The latest American productS in Il
nand by European countries are acorne
from which to raise forests Of oaks
Three hundred bushels of rcd oak

shipped to Europe recently by Mr. g.
W. Letternan, special agent of thD
forestry department, together with on,
hundred and twenty bushels Of pig mt,
These acorns and pig nuts We're sent +,
England and Germany, where they ar.

This foreign demand for acprnS and tn
aIeceSSity for renewing the forest gruWtl
of old lands should Suggest policy
worth initiating by our dtuud"d Allan
tic States that now have old common,
where they once had magnificent forests
The matter OF keeping up the forests %

The LEVY COURT braVely marched
backward yesterday and passed the res
oution offered by Mr.. Taylor that it was
inexpedient topublish an itemized ac-
count of the disbursements of monies
by the trustees of the Poor, that is to
say, in substance, that the people have
no business to know what becomes of
the money they pay in taxes. 1t is
somewhat amusing to look over the ac-
ion of the Levy Court Oh this subject.
When the resolution was offered by Mr..
Sllarpless providing for the publication
it was looked upon as IA capital idea.
"Why that is IA good thing and III vote
for it, " said this and that Democratic
member Of the Levy Court, and it re-
ceiyed IL unanimous vote. This is ex
actly what might have been expected
from any deliberate body unintiuenced
by partisan considerations The press
ure of outside politicians had not then
been brought to bear upon the subject
and therefore the members were left for
once to act for themselves and to act in
such a manner rs they thought was
honest But these Democratic mem
bers soon found where they stood
When the leaders were met, they
were told that the people had no bust
ness to know what became oftheir mon
ey that if such a report was published
in the papers, the people would see the
favoritism practiced by the Trustees of
the Poor in short it would he great
injury to the Democratic party and
would never do at all and no matter
how Illuminating it would be, the res u
| luton must be rescinded. This gave
the matter another c"lOring, and the
Democratic members found they We're
not the servants of the people, but the
| servants of the Democratic party, and
that they must obey the behc>tS Of the
party leaders and let the people 90 to
| tnt- dogs Tor ln1orlna'luh
Mr. Taylrr undertook to lead the Levy
Court in its backward march. His
Demo, ratio colleagues in til" court
Were drilled in the duties they owed tc
their party, and particularly enjoin'
/ ed Ia make no mistake This time. They
were TO keep a sharp eye on the re-

The suit OF Halet Kilbourn against John G.
Thompson. ex-sergeant-at-arms OF the House OF
Representatives. called for trial to-day in the
Circuit Court before Judge Cox. Mr.. kilhoum lays
claim to S350o0o damages against Mr.. Thompson
for false imprisonment in 1876. Mr.. Kilbourn was
summoned a witness before the '.real estate
pool investigating committee OF the House. but
declined to testify I'm relation TO business of the
firm Of Kilbourn Latta produce the books and
papers of the firm. He was arrested 10y resolution
OF the House by the sergeant-at-arms, and, being
brought before the bar OF the House, again refused
to submit his books and papers He was thereupon
committed to the District JAIL where he languished
in durance vile for As days. until after the adjourn
ment OF Congress. when he gained his liberty
through writ of habeaS corpus. Mr. Kilboum en-
tered suit against Mr. Thompson, the sergeant-at-
arms, for $l5O,o0O, and was. I'm April. 1882 awarded
100000 by a jury. This verdict, however. was set
aside by Judge Macarthur, and the case now comes
to trial under an amended bill claiming $35o,0Oo
damages

eleven O'Clock. Mr. kibourn was present with
ten and Gen n. L. Jeffrtes. Mr.. John c. Thomp-
son. the defendant, was also in the court room
with his counsel. Mr. Jere Wilson, District At
t0rney Corkhll and Assistant District Attorney
Coyle. Some legal questions. growing out of the
pleas OF the defendant to the amended BILL TO which
the plaintiff demurred. were taken up and argued
by the lawyers. One plea alleged that the amended
statement of damages was barred by the statute OF
si 1sdge GS held that as the original
the cause of action remaining the same, an amend
ment merely TO the statement OF The consequences
OF such action TO the plaintiff was not equivalent
TO entering new suit. The court also oveTTuled a
plea involving the jurisdiction OF the House OF Rep
reSentativeS TO order the arrest.
