THE TIMBER QUESTION.

Anumber of our leading mining men
and business men have petitioned
the Secretary OF the Interior in re-.
lation TO the timber question. The
object OF the petition is most worthy
one, but in some portions is not in the
best taste. We think it would have been
the better policy to have waited until the
Department OF the Interior promulgated
some ne rules in regard to the cutting
OF timber upon the public lands before
petitioning the Secretary upon the sub
lect. Those rules when promulgated may
be such as the petitioners tn. mselves
would frame We're the matter lett to them.
1t was in very bad taste, and poor argu-
ment to use in II good cause, for the pe-
titioners, in speaking of the harshness
OF the timber laws and the injus-
tice they worked on the people, to say:
In this dilemma, it has been the practice
OF the Interior Department to endeavor to
prevent waste of the public timber and TO
wah at The frespass ON payment by the
trespasser of certain percentage of the
value of the timber used, as sTUMPAGE.
The italics in the above are our own. II
such has been the practice of the Interior
Department to avoid enforcing a bad and
impolitic law, then the Interior Depart
ment has been permitting its agents to
take fees to which neither it nor its agents
had any right; in other words, the Interior
Department has been sanctioning and en-
couraging corruption and stealing, and
that is bad method by which to get
around bad law And yet the gen
tlemen who have petitioned Secretary
Lamar say that ''this was not only wise
action, proceeding from comprehension
OF the necessities Of the case as all Gov
ernment action in the end must, but for
that very reason, it was the only action
that was or is practicable" We cannot
believe that the gentlemen who signed
that petition closely scrutinized its Ian
guage.
The chief industry OF Utah, as well rs
many OF her sister States and Territories,
is mining, and mining cannot be carried
on without timber. Ii all the saw timber
in Utah were made up into lumber, the
lumber would not be worth the monthly
output OF her mines. The lumber which
is made in Utah is every foot OF il used for
the most legitimate purposes and specula-
ton in lumber is not thought OF. All of the
timber in Utah is found high up in the
mountains and on steep declivities, as the
petition says. The timber supply OF Utah
is no more like the timber supply OF
Michigan, Wisconsin and many of the

AGITATED.

The Republican press continue to be
greatly agitated over the conduct of Post
master-General Villas in regard to the
mail subsidy. Mr.. Villas has not acted
captiously in the matter, and it is safe to
say that he has not acted without great
competent TO advise in such matters.
The charge that he has deliberately
ignored an Act of Congress is followed up
by the still more terrible charge that he
is driving American ships from the sea.
The Democrats have only been in Office
eight months, but in that time they have
swept from the seas the unrivalled navy
OF the United States, which was built up
under Republican rule, and Mr. Villas
has now undertaken the task OF driving
American merchantmen from the seas;
and it is believed by those who are best
informed on such subjects Ci.e. the Re-
publicans) that he is league with the
British Government to prevent the build
ing of ferry boats in the United States.
There is any amount OF nonsense talked
about the course of the Postmaster Gen
eral and if half of what the Republican
press say about him is true they have got a
clear case, and we trust that for the sake
of common honesty, which the Repub-
licans prize so highly when out OF office,
that some of those who know so much
about the wrong doings of Mr.. Villas will
bring the matter before Congress and
have his conduct fully investigated. II
that 100000 subsidy business is ever in
vestigated, sure and certain it is that the
Postmaster-General will have nothing to
fear, but it is doubtful if those who en-
gineered the subsidy through will be
without fear and trembling. In the mag
nanimity OF their souls they will proba-
bly, prefer to let the matter drop.

Southern States than the desert alkaline
lands of Utah are like the rich, loamy soil
of the Western States. When the timber
laws of the Government were enacted
thev had in view the immense forests OF
the East; and not the scattered and scrag-
Cling tree clumps Of the West; but their
rigor applies to the scanty and almost in
accessible supply of the West. All this
should be made clear to the Department,
and no doubt Secretary Lamar will make
the rules for governing the cutting OF
timber in the West, where II is indispen-
sible to the exploitation OF mines, con-
form to the peculiar conditions OF the
West, and not undertake the impossible
task of making the conditions imposed
by nature conform to the rules.
We do not believe that it ever entered
into the head OF Secretary Lamar, or OF
Commissioner Sparks, to make it a rule
that no timber should be cut upon the
public lands except by the identical man
who is going to use the timber when made
into lumber. The men of the East are
very largely unacquainted with both the
social and natural conditions OF the West
tut they are not entirely devoid Of com
mon sense, and the President has no
selected his Cabinet from among thost
eminent for want OF this common

TOO GOOD FOR CALIFORNIA.

The Brooklyn Eagle thinks the hand
some endowment of Governor Stanford
for university too good for California.
True, California rs yet has no great popu-
lation, nor has her educational system
reached so high standa rd that she alone
can supply full corps of students to a
university OF the first order. 1t is the
merit OF true university that it is not
local or sectional, but is universal
If the development OF the Stanford
University shall be commensurate with
its endowment, it will be not merely
great pride in California, but it
will be great pride throughout
America. Harvard is in Massachu-
sets, but every person in the
United States who has an interest in
higher education feels pride of country
to think America has Harvard. So it
is with the John Hopkins University, and
SO it will be with the Stanford Uniyer-
sity. university TO reach the greatest
heights in science and literature must be
~eN""'NN "''Nip 10 StlicIul
where the intellectual atmosphere is con-
genial. OF all American cities, perhaps
Boston furnishes these conditions more
plentiiully than any other city, but she
owes her eminence in this respect to the
close proximity OF Harvard As the Years
roll by and the Stanford University de-
velops itself in accordance with
what now seems its destiny, it
will give to California that con-
servatism and intellectual impulse which
characterize the spread OF the highest
education. Imposing chapels and stately
halls do not make great university, but
ii university has the intellectual great
ness these things add to its grandeur 1t
may be expected that these things will
have their place in the Stanford Uni
yersity, but ii the plan OF the endowment
is carried out, they will be but auxiliaries
to the true idea of the University. The
Stanford University is not too good for Cal

DISESTABLISHMENT.

Disestablishment has become the ques-
ton Of the day in England, and upon this
question the English are far more agi-
tated and excited than on the Irish trou-
BILE. Disestablishment has been slum-
bering question for many years, and all
parties have feared to wake it lest the
consequences might be too terrible for
them. When Parliament was prorogued
disestablish ment was not mooted ques-
ton, and none can tell how it came to
take the lead. That disestablishment
will eventually come cannot be doubted,
and it will come before many years. The
Church OF England has had glori-
Gus history, and it has given to
the world many great men; but the
same thing may be said OF the Church Of
Rome, from whence came the Church OF
England. Henry VIII. put himself in
the place OF the Pope, and not to further
Professionalism, either. The forms of
England's Church are but the forms of
Rome modified, and its st. Peters is at
Canterbury instead OF at Rome.
Among the reasons urged against dis
establishment are the close connection
between the history OF England and the
history of its church that the one is not
complete without the other; the culture
of the clergy and their position in the
parishes. The clergy OF the Church of
England have been among the most
highly cultured men of England, and they
have no doubt given much tone to the
social circles of their parishes. But are
all these reasons, which are really rea-
sons of prestige, and antiquity, sufficient
to justify the continuation OF the connec.
ton between the Church and State in
England? Among the poorer classes Of
England no doubt the dissenting churches
have done as much work as the estab-
lished church, although the established
church draws to its folds the arstocracy
and wealth OF England. The established
church has been very largely tyrant in
England, and it is not SO very many years
since the doors OF Oxford and Cambridge
were closed TO all who were not members
of the Church OF England. Neither have
tithes and rates been so long abolished
that they are disreme mbered Ii the
church is disestablieshed as u State
church, it will not go to pieces, although
it may lose much of its prestage and
the intellectual standard OF the
clergy be somewhat lowered. The
Episcopalians flourish in America
and there is no reason why they should
not flourish in England after disestab-
lishment.
The Church OF England is more than
an ecclesiastical organization, and to prove
this it is only necessary to cite the fact of
the Bishops sitting in the House OF Lords
This fact will give it great strength when
the final contest comes, When it comes
and is finally decided, the decision will
no doubt be in favor OF the Dissenters as
against the Church OF England.

SHOULD BE PREVENTED.

Railroads are rarely popular and while
they are indispensable, still many have
most ignorant prejudice against them.
Railroads too often give Just cause for
complaint, especially in the matter Of
discrimination and cutting or raising of
rates without any notice to the public.
But these are not the things TO which we
desire to call attention to-day. When a
railroad is sued for an injury to any per-
son, no matter how careless such person
may have been nor how careful and eau
tious the railroad, such person ii he sues
for damages will almost invariably get n
verdict, ii for no other reason than the
simple fact that his suit is against rail-
road. This fact is not new, for 80 long
ago as 1850, Fennimore Cooper
noted the same disposition among the
people, and speaks Of it in his "Ways OF
the Hour Railroads too frequently de-
pend upon the rule of law that where Il
man contributes to his own injury he
cannot recover. That is very good rule,
but it does not exempt railroads from
care and caution. The facts which we
have mentioned are known to all, and
require no demonstration. But railroads
have rights as well as liabilities, and they
are entitled to have their rights respected
and protected the same rs an individual.
We wish to mention common trespass
upon the rights OF the railroads in this
city, and the same trespasses are com
mitted upon the railroads in every town
in the Territory through which they
pass. The trespass consists in BOYS,
from ten to fifteen years OF age, catching
hold OF freight and passenger trains
as they run slowly into the depots, and
swinging themselves on to the cars. This
sight may he seen any day near the
depots OF the Utah Central Railway and
the Denver Il Rio Grandc Railway. The
boys have no right upon these trains, and
while they commit II trespass upon the
railroads, they also cndanger their own
lives. City ordinances compel the rail-
roads to slow their trains to certain
number OF miles per hour when passing
through the city, and this is proper and
for the pcotection OF the public. Now,
why does not the city enact an ordi.
nance punishing severely the boys
who trespass on the railroads
in the manner above mentioned :?
Ii ono of those boys should
ever get injured while hanging on
the cars, it is certain that the parents Of
such boy would sue the railroad upon
which the accident may have happened,
and, like Mrs. Bardell, they would de-
mand damages, gentlemen, heavy dam
ages" and the probabilities are that
they would get them.
Ii parents won't keep their boys from
such trespassing it is the duty of the city
to, and the sooner some OF these street
Arabs are taught lesson and made an
example OF by the police magistrate, the
batter. This thing OF catching on to
moving trains by the boys should be pre-
vented both for the sake OF the railroads
as well as for the sake OF public order
and the protection OF the limbs and lives
OF the boys whose parents are too bus,
or too Indifferent to look after thei
children.

\ Good Word for California Fruit,

While far above the average Of our States
IN all field products, in one, California is
easily first Indeed, in the production of
fruit OF all kinds, it is doubtful if any coun-
try OF the world, of equal size, can compete
with 1t. All that the fruit trade Of this
country now needs TO double its value,
ana to give 1t place due to It's merits,
Is an organized system of distribution.
Something has already been done in this
direction. The California Union, the

steps in the right direction. Every en-
eouraeement should be given them"
