The meeting held in this city last evening at
Chickering Hall in behalf of the preservaeon,
of the Adirondack forests derived adoluonai
interest from the fact that during the DAY ,he
Senate passed a bill designed to accomplish tha'
beneAcent object. While the bill does not go as
for nc many of those who have given most at
tention to the subject of forest preservation De-
lieye it should 60, il very likely goes as lar Us
the majority in the Legislature are willing TO
proceed at this session. 1t is also to be SAID that
if it becomes law, and IFS provisions are
strictly enforced, il cannot fail to accomplish
much good.
II looks MS if the United States Navy what
there is of it) could not be better employed
than in cruising around Florida with orders TO
keep sharp watch for filibustering expedi-
tons against Cuba. Aguero. who got away
from Key West with handful OF followers the
other day. is already making trouble on the
Island. A sharper watch should have been
kept on this tricky Cuban by the Federal author
titles. Expeditions such as he is leading against
the power of Spain are utterly hopeless; but
even if they were not so, the United states
Government has every reason to try to keep
them from being fitted out within our boun-
daries.
The leaders of the cigarmakers' unions OF
this CITY have succeeding in persuadrng the
Assembly to pass the bill prohibiting the manu-
facture of cigars in tenement houses. II the
Senators are Influenced in their action by the
merits of this measure, they will promptly re-
iect 1t. 1t is in the interest of lot of dema-
gogues who want all cigarmakers to be en-
ployed in factories so that they may be more
easily subjected to union rules. The Board OF
Health investigated the matter some time ago,
and found no reason for stopping this home
manufacturing on the ground of its unheaith-
fulness. If the Assembly bill becomes law II
will deprive many worthy poor people OF the
means of earning an honest living.
The first three of the District Conventions of
this State for the election of delegates to the
Chicago National Republican Convention were
held Yesterday. In tie XXXth (MOnroe) Dis
trict delegates were named whose first choice
for President is understood to be Mr. Blaine.
The XXXIId (Bufialo) District chose delegates
whose first choice is General Arthur. The
XIXth ALBANY District has long been torn by
factions. and the outcome of the convention was
the selection of two sets of delegates, both OF
which claim to be regular" One set of dele
gates favors Mr.. Blaine and the other Mr..
Arthur. 1t has been reported that these three
particular conventions were called for the first
dav on which it would be in order for the dis
tlicts to elect delegates, with the expectation
that they would all declare for the same candi-
date and so give him the advantage of good
send-off in advance of his competitors. If any
such an intention existed, the result brings 1t TO
naught. 1t is gratifying to note, however, and
it is much more to the purpose, that all the
delegates that were named yesterday can be
counted upon to act at Chicago with an eye
single to the nomination of a ticket that will
be most acceptable to the greatest number OF
Republicans. 1t is earnestly to be hoped that
each one of the thirty four districts will elect
that sort of delegates.
