THE newspapers, such of them as make

truthfully and in high terms of the contrast
in the character of the men prominent in the
June national convention and the July ma
tional convention. One single instance il
illustrates the whole The Republican nation
al committee chose Powell Clayton for tenn
porary chairman of the national convention.
The committee represented a faction in the
party, and its choice was the behest of the
faction. Another faction defeated the cleo
ton of Clayton on the high moral ground
that he had turned traitor to the faction that
rose up in opposition to him. The whole
convention was Disguised with the imam
and brother elected temporary chairman,
and allowed him to preside but an hour. On
the other hand the Democratic national
committee made choice of ex-Gov Hubbard
Of Texas, and the convention promptly ap-
proved the choice. A Republican contempt
rary has the fairness to say of him, She is a
man who well deserves any position he may
securen Gov Hubbard has now taken
prominent parts in two national conventions,
and the day is not far remote when he will
be sent to the United States senate, where

views of tariff reduction advocated BY Wat

The proceedings towards the close seem to
have been somewhat tumultuous on account
of an attempt to force the voting after a

candidate. 1t is not thought the result of
the single ballot was as favorable to Cleve-

EOPEST DESTRUCTTOy

The rapid destruction of American forests
is something fearful. There seems to be an
insane desire to cut down the trees and to
denude the entire land of its forests. Reck-
less Of future consequences, the wood-chop-
per's axe still swings and the sturdy oaks
and pines come laundering down. This
will cause the drying up of springs and the
sources of rivers, will serve to affect atmos
pherc moisture, diminish rainfall, and pro-
duce droutb, barrenness and death.
This ruinous and remorseless destruction
of trees is going on in every portion of the
country The forests gone, there will be
nothing to arrest or break the force of tor
nadoes, extremes of drought in freshet viii
pile disaster upon disaster, and any thing
like an equiblc, productive state of the at
mospacre win be destroyed. How shall this
great and trying evil be averted. The legis-
latures of some of the States have put forth
some efforts to stay the distinctions offorests,
but hitherto these efforts have been feeble
and without much success.
The attention of Congress has been called
to this matter, to prevent vast areas of the
public domain from being denuded of its
forests. We are not aware that any efficient
action has been reached. The Senate passed
a bill and none TO soon, to stop the sale of
public lands in large portion of Northern
Montana, and to establish it as a great forest
reservation But the House, in its haste to
adjourn, unfortunate y ailedto p IS Il e..Scnate
BILL Unless something of this kind is done
the sources of the Columbia, Missouri and
other large rivers will be strongly affected,
as are now the Hudson and several other
rivers in the State of New York.
This is matter that ought no longer to be
neglected. Unless the farms of the country
can be well watered, they will become nn
productive, baroness and blight will ensue,
wretchedness and poverty follow, and the
population will fee before starvation aud
ruin, and towns and cities viii !anguish and
one wide scene of desolation will follow.
This is no fancy sketch. Water, fresh water
is the renoyator of the world. Destroy its
sources of supply, and barren wastes are ere

diminished consumption of oxygen by gas
burners. AS long as we must depend upon gas
we shall have to content ourselves with light,
and not insist upon illumination "
From all this it will be seen that the fur
mace, the gas, the water, the sewer pipes,
all have an influence to vitiate the atmos-
phere of modern dwellings, when in their
most perfect condition, and when defective,
they contribute an actually poisonous ele-
ment to the atmosphere.
DIR. Hamilton deserves commentator for
boldly pointing out the defects of currentstyle
of living, superinduced by a modern civil
lization, supplemented by the s'modern con-
veniences'' of the dwellings of the period.

Blaine at Bowdoin Commencement

BRUNSWICK, Me-, July 10.-James G. Blaine
attended the commencement exercises to-day at
Bowdoin college. At the alumni dinner, when
Blaine was called upon, there was a perfect
storm of applause, and it was long time before
he was able to proceed. He said II had little
idea when accepted your invitation to be pres
ent to-day, that should receive from your hands
the great honor of degree from Bowdoin col
lege. 1t is great dignity to be ranked with
those who throughout the whole land of letters
have done honor to this institution. His excel
celency named one of the greatest men the
country ever saw, W. P. Fessenden. and / cues

country an institution that in four years of its
life, can show such names as VIM. Fessenden.

EXCLUSION or 4usRIcAv Cattle.

EXCLUSION OF AMERICAN CATTLE.
An attempt is being made to perfect an
arrangement to send cattle from the United
States ranches over the Canadian Pacific to
Montreal, and thence to England. This is
opposed by British cattle dealers on the al
legged ground that foot and mouth and other
diseases prevail in American herds. This
opposition Of the Canadians is inspired by a
desire to monopolise the cattle trade with
England, by shutting out competition from
the States. The Canadians frankly admit
that the live cattle trade between Canada and
Great Britain, by shipping American cattle
on al equality, would be practically de-
stroyed. 1t is about the only fourishing in
dustry the Canadians now have. The far
mers who have had such bad luck of late years
insist on being protected against the States.
Gladstone, and some other eminent Eng
lish statesmen opposed such stringent exclu-
sion Of American cattle, but were voted down.
The Canadians defantly assert that disease
or no disease the embargoing of American cat
tie viii be pursued. This shows that the alleged
disease is mere sham, IAN empty pretense to
secure exclusion. There is not much free
trade, not much reciprocrity in this demand for
rigid protection of the canadian cattle-rais
ers, against American competition.
