SENDIY DRINKING.

II Is about time for somebody to demonstrate
wherein the benefit to the cause OF temperance
of the present Sunday drinking laws in this
CITY consists A great deal of talk has been had
of closing the saloons on Sunday, and the
Police Commissioners have adopted resolutions
and the police have received instructions, anu
after all this parade of preparation it remains
lust IA easy to get drink anywhere as it was
before the sham crusade was begun. Inc
question whether It is possible TO put stop to
Sunday drinking has thus far received no
answer, for the very sufficient reason that no
serious and earnest attempt to enforce the law
has been made. 1t may be that the law cannot
be enforced. II may be that public opinion Is
so opposed to the object of II that no help IN
enforcing II cnn be looked for from the people
II may be that the demand for simulants Is
too general nnh strong to be dealt with by
arbitrary prohibition. Either or nl of these
positions may or may not be "a suggested. Bnt
nobody can fot'n any rational conclusion ns to

being ot the e0mmHnitY-it Is perfectly clear
that this pretenGe of closing the saloons which
is now carried ON is dsereditabe to the author-
ties and demoralzing to the police and the
publc. The lesson thus taught Is dangerous
one, for it Is that the law may be defied with
impunity, and that those whose special tunc-
ton it is to enforce it may be mainly response
Bile for its persistent and scarcely disguised
violation. The demoralizng influence OF this
spectacle Is all the greater because no one
believes that it would he impossible to enforce
the law if there was any serious determination
o do so. AS it is, however, it is every week
taught the public IN the most convincing way
that the saloon keepers are above the law, that
the Police Commissioners are not above de-

that the police understand their own interests
too well to attempt to carry ont their Ostensl-
bic Instructions 1t would be very much better
to drop all pretence and let the Sunday drink
traffic flourish as of old than to go on with
hypocriical sham which deceives nobody, but
which lowers the reputation and standing OF all
who are responsible for its continuance. But
the fact must be emphasized that the impracti-
cability of stopping Sunday drinking has not
yet been demonstrated

Secretary treinehVfsens ipieF gives curl
Nus Illustration af ,he singular ia9sfness ~
th0Ught apl III the use pi language Nhich
seems to have led 10 some deiec's ~ Tho
Spanish treaty. Discussing the treaty, aud
various projects which had previously been
entertained of the annexation of Cuba,
he remarks that the pending treaty
confers upon us and upon Cuba and Porto
Rico all benefits which would result from
an annexation, were that possible" That the
word "all should be used in such sentence,
and in formal official letter from the Secre-
tary of State to the Chairman of the Committee
on Foreign I.eations in the Senate, is really
one of the most singular things in our recent
history.
Secretary Frelinghuysen himself would GER
tainly observe a good many benefits which
Cuba and Porto Rico would obviously derive
from annexation to the United States, and
which the Spanish treaty does not in
any degree secure. Nor would he ser-
ously deny that many of the bene-
fits which the United States might derive
from annexation are placed wholly out of
reach, so long as the internal control Of Cuba,
the local government, the power to regulate
taxes, the power to discriminate against Ameri
can merchants and bankers, the power to
control labor, and to prolong or to ter
inmate the existence of slavery, remain with
the Government of Spain. In the one
matter of slavery, if the Secretary would at
tentvey consider It, the difference which
annexation would cause Is almost incalculable.
Unquestionably annexation would involve,
both TO the United States and to Spain, serious
disadvantages. perhaps compensating for
both nations any advantages which
would accrue. That is not alto
gether the question. The Secretary has
stated that the pending treaty would secure to
both the islands and the United States all the
benefits" which annexation would confer. III
the treaty has been prepared on the part OF the
United States with similar carelcssness In the

PROTECTING THE FORESTS.

If is to be hoped that the report of the Adj
rondack commission which is to be presented TO
the next Legislature will recommend some we'll
considered law for the protection OF Wild land
The argument for preserving the forests that
remain cannot be too strongly put. But 1t
secms that tho owners of this property
cannot save it if they would. II the
State has ever made any honest ef-
fort to protect its own share of the woodlands
the fact has not become generally known In
dividual and corporate owners OF other large
tracts in the Wilderness have no care Tor It's
future for their purpose is to stl1p II OF all that
is of present value and then abandon IL 10
escape taxation. There are other corporations
which have acquired great stretches for NOM
inal pay, and they treat the property which
cost nothing as if it were worth nothing. Some
owners there are. however, who realize
that with swiftly decreasing forest
area and an equally rapid increasing de-
mand for forest products, forest property
in fair growing order Is the best legacy they
can hand down to their children.
That forward-looking owners of this
character should be compelled to stand help
lessly by and see their forests felled or fired is

property property that cannot be replaced, a
property too, which Is universally admitted to
be of incalcuablc public utility, aside from ITS
value TO the Owncr-and yet commit
no felony. Here certainly is field
for legislation. The restraining influence
of law will be slight, 1t y true, If there Is no
forceful public sentiment behind 1t. But the
duty of passing rigid enactmcnts against forest
maraudcrs Is none the less urgent. The stat

TIE TROUBLE IN D1KOT1

Some of the people of Dakota have chosen q
most inOpportune time for dispute, the mode
of conducting which is certain to be used as Il
strong argument against the admission of the
Territory to the Union. One of the first
demands made in such cases is that the people
who desire to establish a State shall demon
strate their fitness for self f-govcrnment. The
best proof that can be given of such fitness Is
peaceable acceptance of the conclusions reached
through the balOt-box. In Mexico and the
South American Republics democratic princi-
pies and methods have thus far failed to secure
stable political conditions, because the people
have not learned this fundamental truth. In
those countries elections do not settle anything
inasmuch as the defeated party almost in
variably refuses to submit, and takes to arms.
And this is what has been done over Il county
seat contest in Dakota. The victory, so far us
the balot-box was concerned rested with the
people of Traverse. But the people OF WilmOt
the rival for the county seat, adopted Mexican
methods, flew to arms, raided Traverse, and
stole the Sherifs safe containing the county
records. The Traverse people then armed
themselves and prepared for war, and at the
latest accounts there was apparently great
danger Of a collision liable to result in serious
loss of life and property.
When all the facts are fully known II may
appear that, Notwithstanding its ugly look, this
affair is little more than neighborhood quarrel
and that 1t cannot be regarded as typical But
it will naturally be argued by those who do not
want Dakota admitted that the Traverse riot
proves the unftncss of the people of the Terri
tory TO govern themselves, and Mt the present
jnncture the friends OF admission cannot but be
hindcred and banled by the existing state of
affairs there. 1t must also be admitted that the
story ~ reported does not suggest the preva.
