THE WHOLESALE destruction of
forests in New York has materially
decreased the annual rainfall in
and an effort is now being
made to remedy the evil be-
fore it is too late. A bill has been
introduced in the legislature to pro-
hibit the sale of forest lands in the
Adirondae region to lumbe gnen
and there is fair promise Gifts pas
sage. The navigation of 7Hud-
son has been greatly injured through
the lessened rainfall, and people are
looking at the matter seriously.
They say that something must
be done. Not only in New
York, but all through the
middle and western states, is the
devastation of forests having baG
effect upon the rivers. An exchange
remarks that men are now living
who remember the Ohio River as
noble stream, navigable from Cairo
to Pittsburg at all seasons of the
year. To-day, above Cincinnati, it
is n2vigable during certain seasons,
and then only by the aid of expen-
sive government works. The cause
is that the forests bordering every
tributary have disappeared, thereby
diminishing the rainfall and des-
troying the never falling springs
which once furnished constant sup
ply. Millions of the public treas
ure have been and will be spent in
trying TO preserve the nayigability
of rivers, which half a century ego
needed no artificial aids. The great
Mississippi is now suffering because
the forests along its headwaters
have been wantonly and recklessly
destroyed. Great damage has
already been done the material in
terests of the country, and it is yet
time to prevent much greater, if it
is within the domain of legislation
to make and enforce enactments,
not only for forest preservation, but
also for forest planting. 1t is to be
hoped that New York will take the
initiative in this matter.

LAST SUMMER, at the request OF
Senator Cameron, the postmaster
at Steelton, Pa, was removed for nc
other reason than because he was
an independent republican, and
therefore opposed to the Cameron
clan. A stalwart republican, named
Neibinger, was appointed to the
place. A few days ago the stalwart
was arrested for embezzling money
belonging to the money order de-
partment. He confessed, and says
he used part Of the missing funds in
meeting the demands on him for
political expenses during the late
campaign. He shows receipts
aggregating $50 for money ex-
pended in buying suppers and
drinks for political managers. An
assessment of $Ss by Cameron's
stalwart state committee, and also
the 2 per cent, assessment of the
republican blackmailing crew. He
could have refused to give,
remained honest, and lost his
his place. That course he should
have pursued; but he was too weak,
he knew that party demands
must be met, or he would have to go
and he hadn't the moral courage to
be an honest, Independent man. He
put his hand into the public purse
and now pleads as an excuse for
his crime, the party requirements.
The blackmailing system that is
worked so persistently by the re-
publicans may not always lead to
Official crookedness, but the ten
dency Ii In that direction. There
are many officials who cannot afford
to give all that Is required from
them, and if they respond to the
blOed-money demands they have
to deny themselves necessaries
or comforts to which they arc
entitled. Under such circumstances
a good many men will do IS Neibin.

much; If they cannot affOrd to give,
it is downright robbery to require it

RIVERS AND HARBORS.
MONEY FOR THE MISSISSIPPI.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4,-Itis the present
intention of the house commerce committee
to include in the rlver and harbor bill an
appropriation Of 100000 for continuing
the improvement of the Mississippi river
between St. Louis and Cairo. The commit.
tee has also Informally agreed to eppropri-
ate $2,0O0,000 tor tho work Of the river
commission below Cairo. The river and
harbor bill will be considered In the house
some time during the last ten days Of
the session. 1t Is regarded as well.nlgh
impossible for the senate to consider a
Mexican commercial treaty this session,
The time Of that body will be absorbed by
the tariff, the regular appropriation bills,
the shipping bill, pension bills and the
necessary routine business. The attention
OF senators will thus he so much taken up
they will scrcely be able to act upon the
proposed treaty. For this reason there is a
growing impression that an extra session Of
the senate will DO called to consider execu-
tive husinsss.
