voice of the Sovereign? or in their enact
ment did the representatives of the Sover-
eign mistake his will !? So, too, let us ask,
Is it the will of the Sovereign that food
game shall be protected, the election laws
preserved, the Criminal Code enforced? If
not, by all means let US repeal them, and
remove the qualification their existence
establishes. But if they are wise laws,
good, necessary for the commoh veal, let
us see to it that they are enforced, and as.
certain how it is that the servants of the
Sovereign refuse or neglect to carry out
his edicts. And, above all, if We find that
it is not the error, the neglect, or the re-
fusal of the servant of the law, but the
logged persistence of the Sovereign him
self not to obey the law; if it is certain
that the moral sentiment of the commu.
nifty is not equal to the law, let US repeal
it, for in free license we will soonest reach
that state of ailment when powerful and
drastic medicine will be necessary, and
will do its work thoroughly. That is to
say 1t is better by far, for the common
good, that there should be no laws for pun.
ishing crime, no laws prohibiting, than
that such laws should be habitually asleep.

DAKorA's ADMIssIoE.

There is no Territory so full of promise
as Dakota. There is no section or subdi-
vision within the area of the Republic that
holds out such assurance of an early growth
into State. Even now Dakota with her
800, 900 people, nearly all of whom are of
that sterling class, agriculturists, is ready
to be admitted to the sisterhood of States.
She knocks at the door of the Union, and
not solitary tenable objection can be
raised against her claim. But it appears
that the majority of her people are Repub-
icans. To admit the State now will add
two more Republicans to the United States
Senate. That is matter to make the
Democracy in Congress reflect, and it does
SO seriously. Whenever party interests and
party ascendency are concerned, the DEM
ocrats allow nothing to stand in the way.
Dakota should be admitted she has an
unobjectionable Constitution has thirty
ing population rides upon the top wave
of prosperity, and is an honor to the ma
tion-but, and here is the rub, she is Re.
publican, and must appeal to Democrats to
be permitted to don the robes of sover-
eign State under the Federal Constitution.
That party will consider her claims, not in
the light of their equitable character-nor
of their right-but in the light of the ef-
feet upon the party. Thus considered,
there can be no doubt entertained about
the result. Dakota must wait.

TaE BARrRoLnI PEpgsrAL.

We trust that the committee in charge
of the work of erecting the pedestal at
New York for the Bartholdi statue of
Liberty is not answerable for the appeal
made to the Iowa Legislature to contribute
to the pedestal fund. 1t is a burning
shame, however, that New York, with all
her wealth, should be SO niggard as to
give ground for anyone to rebuke her, as
the resolution quietly does. The Nation
has been shamed by the failure to raise the
money necessary, and Frenchmen must
look upon US with contempt. That the
people of the commercial metropolis
of the nation should be so slow in action
the erection of the pedestal is
unaccountable. They accepted the gift of
the statue, and were very proud Of it, but
now that the great figure is ready to be
set up, the pedestal is wanting and the
people who agreed to build it neglect to
furnish the means. Let New York 90 on
and complete the work or else abandon
the gift to Boston.

A FORESTRY LESSON.

There is forestry lesson in the late del
uge on the Ohio. Most of the headwater
region of the stream has been denuded of
forest growth. Sufficient trees no
longer protect the soil and hold
moisture in the earth for gradual dis
position. A large part of the catch.
ment area has been underdrained by
tile pipes. As a result, sudden and long.
continued rains give high water in the
river speedily, and it is called upon to
carry for long time burden unequal to
its strength. Precisely what is happening
there, the New Workers feared would oc.
cur in their State, and hence their recent
vigorous action for the preservation of
headwater timber growth. Science and
experience have during many years taught
us that to permit unrestrained destruction
of forests is to stimulate floods, excessive
heat and sterility of soil. George P.
Marsh years ago, in his admirable work,
''The Earth as Modified by Human Ac-
tion," made clear how the destruction of
forest trees reduces the capacity of coun-
try for sustaining human life. He placed
before us the example of the countries
along the Mediterranean, and of many
sections in Africa, Asia and Southern Eu.
rope. But, as the New York Tribune we'll
says, we in America have paid no heed to
the voices of warning on this subject.
Even the great foods in Lombardy and
those in the Garonne in 1875, says the
Tribune, which destroyed thousands OF
lives and did 800, 900, 900 francs of dam.
age to property, failed to arouse us, al
though it was made perfectly clear that the
cause of the inundation was the clearing
off of timber land. And we may add that
the still greater and more recent disasters
ON the Rhine were due to the like causes,
and, like their predecessors, caused but a
momentary furry in this country. Yet it
is true that we are rapidly approaching a
period when something must be done to
check forest destruction. AS we have
greater needs and greater facilities for sup.
