TIE ADIRONDACK BILLS.

Beyond question the Legislature should pass
the bills that have been carefully prepared by
the Adirondack Commission. They assail no
rights of person or corporation. They provide
all the protection to woods and wOod-owners
which can be now enforced. They settle "a
well "a any statute can the vexed question Of
tax titles-which after all is not matter Of
such serious moment in re,ation to he general
forest problem as the chatter about recent
court decision would seem to imply. A de-
csion of this kind was not unforeseen by the
Commission, and the area of land with clouded
title is a trlhing fraction of the whole region.
Besides this, the bills taken tog 'ther form a
consistent body of Foundation law upon which
new action can he based If the State ever feels
the need of additional legislation to conserve
her forests. They make a good beginning for a
comprehensive forest code.
If the Legislature fails to pass these laws, the
next best thing to do is to let the North Woods
alone. Better stand still than ser out IN the
wrong direction. There is talk of comp romise
with somebody or something; of amendment !;
of action altogether outside of the report look
ing toward a comfortable place for an alleged
surveyor and so-callcd forester. This would
gi ge no protection To the woods. 1t would be
of no benefit to any human being except the
ones who draw the salaries. And when once
these men with their stipend and their patron
az o are intrenched in o!tce, the pioneer work OF
any future Adirondack legislation will be to dis
| lodge them, and it would be much easier and
| cheaper to start from where we now stand than
| to begin with this new fight on hand. The pro-
moters of this new scheme are the men who
have prevented the publication If the Commls-
sion's report with the only map yet con
structed to give an intelligent idea of the fatal
| inroads already made upon the Wilderness

RUETL TO GRANT.

Probably the fortunes of the war and the
work of the military critics did not succeed in
nlacing any two Generals in greater apparent
hostility to each other during the entire re-
bcllion than were General Grant and General
Bucll. from the battle of Pittsburg Landing To
the end. General Buel's friends claimed the
glory of the final victory at Plttsburg Landing
and censured General Grant for the disasters OF
the first day. General Grants friends charged
the disasters of the first day on General BuelIs
DELAY. and said they could have won the victory
without him.
Under all the circumstances probably no mes
sage has reached General Grant during his en-
five illness more touching or significant than the
brief letter we are permitted to publish below.

TILE HIR CREDIT

The war clouds are again gathering. The
credit asked for by Mr.. Gladstone is nearly
twice as great as was expected last week. In
stead of $50, OOO, 900, it is $50, 100000, equally
divided between operations in the Soudan and
nreparations for war elsewhere. The whole
amount will undoubtedly be applied III an
emergency TO the more important campaign
If war be declared on the Afghan frontier,
England cannot afford to exhaust It's resources
in n sentimental journey to Khartoum. The
entire credit may be considered available Tor
war preparations, and in this sense IL Is
S25. 600 900 in excess of the amount asked for
and expended by Lord Beac0nsield when the
russians were descending the Balkan slopes
and swoopirg down upon the gates of Constan-
tinople. The doubling of the proposed credit
would be au omen of war, even II 1t were mat
tended by the alarming declarations of the
Liberal leaders in each House. Lord Granville
admits that the crisis justities the Government
in putting the active and auxiliary military and
naval forces in condition of immediate readi-
ness for service. Mr.. Gladstone is more re
served. but intmates that General Komaroifs
account of the battle of Penjdeh is fatty contra
dicted by Sir Peter Lumsden. Full explana-
tious of the negotiations between the two Gov
ernments are promised upon the assembling OF
Parliament to-day 10 discuss the vote OF credit

sudden transitions and startling surprises that

TILE SNEZ CANAL IN VIE.

There ~ naturally much speculation as to
what will be done with the Suez Canal In the
event OF war between England and Russia. ~
de Lesseps proposes that it be kept open Tor the
war vessels OF both countries, aud II this couiu
be done it would probably be the best arrange
ment for the Canal Company. A Russian
journal, perhaps inspired by its Government
demands that the canal be closed against both
Governments; and there can be no doubt that
this would be the most advantageous method
for Russia. But the presumption Is that IL war
occurs this question will be settled neither by
the Canal Company nor by Russia, but by Eng
land The latter Power dominates the seas,
and can certainly take and hold both ehuS Oh
the canal against any maritime force Russia eau
bring to bear. Russia perhaps hopes to obtain
the assistance of some other Power IN neutrailZ-
ing or blocking the canal but there Is no proDa-
biIitv that any Power will venture to make n
naval demonstration for such purpose; ana
nothing less would be of the least use.
There have been some grounds for suspectlng
that Russia meant TO attempt the destruction or
blockade of the canal on the outbreak OF h0stlll-
ties No doubt serious injury might be done 10
il by blowing up the banks; much more In tac'
than by sinking vessels in the channel, since
such Instructions could be speedily removed Ivy
dynamite, whereas if the banks were blown
into ne canal, weeks or months OF work might
be required to make the channel practicable
again. 1t is, however, to be supposed tha'
England has already taken measures to secure
the integrity of this indispensable passage way
to India, and that should war appear inevitable
she would hasten to take possession or the
canal, and guard it strongly. failure to nc
this would 90 far toward paraiyzng her III
India. and might lose her that Empire.

THE CLAWSOY POLYGAMY DECISION

TIE CLAWSON POLYGAMY DECISION
The decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the case of Rudger CIawson. Is import
ant, for it opens the way to CONVICTION Oh
noyeamists for the first time. Clawson was IN
dicted for polygamy in Utah, and on his trial
the Court refused to allow polygamists to be
empan elled on the jury. He was convicted ana
sentenced 10 four years in the Penltentlary, anu
the case was taken to the United states supreme
C,nrt ON n writ of error, plaintiff alleging
illegality in the exclusion from tho jury Oh all
persons who believed in pOlyga1iy. Inc Ap-
pe,late Court now confirms the judgment OF the
District Court of Utah, holding that the ex-
clusion of believers in polygamy from the jury
WIS lawful. Hitherto it has been found almost
impossible to secure convictions for polygamy
in Utah, simply because there were always
enough poygamsts on the panel TO hang the
iury Now that the Supreme Court has de-
clared non poiygamic juries legal, the situation
will be changed, and possibly the movement
said to be on foot to discard polygamy viii ac-
duire new impetus.
The Mormon view of NE subject is one which
United States Courts cannot be expected to
coincide in. Their position is very much rs If
a burglar should insist on having some mem
bers of his own profession on tho jury which IL
to try him. To admit to a panel men who hold
that the offence against the law which that
panel is to try is not an offence at all, is to make
the administration of justice n farce and n
mockery. Under the recent decision, that
method of evading the law will be rendered
useless hereafter. ard there will be no difficulty
in enforcing its penalties. Thus for the first
time the Mormon poygamists are brought face
to face with real punishments for law breaking,
and it is highly probable that the effect upon
them will be salutary, and that few OF them will
elect the very ignominions kind of martyrdom
involved in consignment to the Pcnitentiary.

and factions have not lost their self-control.
The English people have been waiting with ad-
miroble composure and resolute courage for the
