The Power of Money.

Two little Upper Main street boys in
skirts, says the Lewiston (Me-) Jour
nal, are laying siege to the heart of a
wee damsel who sits on the front seat
at the primary school, and who is di-
viding her attention between both OF
her admirers, who are dead in love. "A
funny thing was that which one of
them did one day. His papa gave him
a nickel for being a good boy. He
didn't buy candy, although that was
the original plea by which be obtained
the nickel. Not ut all. He went over
post-haste to the abode of his little lady
and gave her the money on condition
that She would hold his hand on the
way to school the next day. The trade
was struck, and the next morning the
programme was carried out The fond
mother of the little miss saw. as the re-
suit of this secret transaction, one tear
full little boy in a blue blouse waist and
skirt weeping bitter tears over the
front yard fence, while down the street,
in proud consciousness of having euch-
cred dreaded rival, marched the 9TH
er boy hand in hand with the little
girl. Both were called back, and it
was a less joyous trio that next went
up the street. The father has great
hopes of his boy who struck the bar

Preservation of our Forests.

There are reasons entirely independ-
ent of economic value which make the
preservation of our forests a matter of
prime Importance, and would make
their ruin n national calamity. 1t is
not that they have much influence on
the rain fall. Those who hold that they
do so mistake effect for cause. The
rain produces the forest, and not the
forest the rain. A forest growth may
not of necessity follow an adequate
supply of moisture, but the supply of
moisture is an Indispensable condition
of it. The utility of forests, aside from
their marketable value, lies in their
power not to cause the rainfall, but to
regulate its distribution. In this they
are of incalculable benefit When they
cover the ground about the sources of
great rivers and their tributaries, the
porous soil, with its moses and its ac-
cumulations of fallen leaves, acts as a
vast sponge to retain and slowly de-
liver the water that falls from the
clouds in the form of rain or snow.
When the sheltering trees are de-
stroyed and the ground is laid bare,
all the water runs off at once: the
brooks that had before flowed contin-
uously and with comparative regular
ity become roaring torrents in spring
and dry channels in summer, while
the rivers that depend on these sources
of supply swell into freshets at one
season and shrink into insignificance at
another.
The recent destructive floods in the
north of Italy. and notably along the
river Po, with all the misery they have
brought, are ascribed, and no doubt
with truth, to the partial denudation
of the mountainous country about the
sources of streams. The arid and COM
paratively valueless condition OF GER
tain parts of Spain is due to similar
causes. 1t is for US to see, while there
is yet time, that similar evils do not
fall upon US. That wonderful region
of, the West known as the Great Divide
gives birth to the Missouri, the Yellow
stone; the Columbia, the Colorado, and
the North Fork of the Platte. The
preservation of its sheltering forests is
of vital interest to all the regions
| watered by these rivers. The same is
true, in q different degree. of the
sources of many lesser streams within
our national territory. Sometimes, as
in the case of the Hudson. the source
of the river and its whole course lie
within the limits of one State, and the
local government is therefore master
of the situation. II New York should
permit the Adirondack forests to be de-
stroyed, she, and she alone, would be
answerable for the consequences. But,
in most cases, our great rivers rise in
one or more States or Territories, to
flow through or by the domain of 9th
ers on their way to the sea- Here the
state authorities are powerless, and, if
the remedyis to be applied at all, it
must be applied by the federal govern
ment MomentOus interests are at
stake, and the welfare of the whole ma
ton demands careful consideration of
them. Francis Parkman, in jane At

An Exciting Half Hour at Columbus.

COLUMBUS o., Oct. 16-Great excitement
was created in front of the Democratic head
quarters on Broad street, at o'clock this after
noon. and riot was narrowly averted. Soon
after noon some one about the headquarters
caused to be strung across the street, in large
form, bloody shirt with the inscription: "New

Bloody Shirt" 1t is stated that Grand Army

and, by order Of the members of the
committee it was being done, when a
man from the Republican headquarters grabbed
the garment and after soaking it with kerosene,
returned and burned the shirt in front of the
Democratic headquarters. crowd of several
hundred gathered, and the greatest excitement
prevailed The counsel of cooler heads pre-
vailed, and after much hard talk and threats
the crowd dispersed The yelling caused people
to leave their business, while many locked their
doors. The Republicans denounce it in
suit and both sides are condemned by better
citizens for participating in move which, in
the present political fever heat. might have led
to great loss of life and property.

THE SUSPENSION OF JUDGE VINCENT.
Mr.. Springer Thinks 1t Was the Result of In
accurate knowledge of the Duties of Jurors.

SPRINGFIELD H.. Oct. 16.-This being the
Mexico. who was recently suspended from his
duties, pending an investigation into his official
conduct, great interest is felt here in the final
-eutcome of the matter. Congressman Springer,
who was one of those who recommended Judge
Vincents appointment, having been interviewed
by State Register reporter to-day, said
that the suspension seems to have been
made OF the instance of Mr.. w. P.
Fishback, of Indianapolis prominent Repub
lican of that city. Mr.. Fishback, having little
knowledge of local affairs, supposed that the
jurors selected as commission in Colfax county
had jurisdiction of matters arising under laws of
the United States. and especially the land laws

Springer said 1t was great mistake to recognize
Dorsey in any way. but that the government
was in no matter prejudiced by his appointment
as one out OF five jury commissioners in Colfax
county. all being Democrats except Dorsey
Dorseys official duties were all performed in a
very few minutes, and the commission has no
further legal existence. Mr.. Springer is of opn-
aon that, upon thorough investigation of the
facts, it will be found that Chief-justic Vim

ever had, and that his conduct throughout has
been thoroughly honest and conscientious and

President Cleveland Denounced for the DEM
ocratic Defeat in Ohio.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-From all directions
are heard curses against Grover Cleveland since
the election in Ohio was decided Tuesday. This
was to be expected Whenever Democrat is
defeated for any office under the sun he at once
looks around for some one on whom to throw
the odium Of his defeat. 1t seems impossible for
the politician of Democratic persuasion to admit
that the fault of failure lies with himself. He
can not conceive that the inherent deviltry which
underlies his own skin is alone responsible for
his failure to achieve his political ends. Natur-
ally, therefore, the Ohio Democrats in Washing
ton see in the failure of Hoady rebuke
to the administration for the civl-servce ideas
which President Cleveland breaches. The Presi-
dent appears to bear up well, under the crcum-
stances, although reports from Virginia indicate
that Fitzhugh Lee is crushed by the blow.
