development Of their industry. combination
to prevent competition almost inevitably results
in disaster if for no other reason because, as IN
the case of the railroad trunk lines, it inctes
other parties to enter into competition anu
share the anticipated profits. The radicai vice
of such an arrangement is that the prices oo-
tanned no longer afford fair indication OF the
state of the market, and give no guide by winch
production may be regulated.
In this instance, il recent dispatch has not
been misunderstood, the danger is near at
hand. 1t was stated but few days ago that
manufacturers controlling some OF the most I'M
portant mills in Ohio hid combined to lease the
great works at st. Louis, and were calculating
to produce the steel at that point, to snip IL 10
their works in Ohio, and thus to turn out steel
rails at a considerably lower cost than was
possible by the use Of eastern ore ana other
material. The men who entered into this az
rangement are experienced, long-headed ana
generally successful business men, who appear
to have made close calculations, and are en-
tirely confident Of the success of their under
taking. If the new combination to curtaii pro-
duction does not include them, and the public
list of names indicates that 1t does not, their
production Is likely before long to Interfere

THO PRIME MINISTERS.

Lord Salisbury's vacation programme COM
prises a personal interview with the Italian
Prime Minister. Signor Depretis is reported TO
be anxious to extend his chain of commercial
and military posts from Assab Bay and
Massowah to Suakm and possibly to acquire
control of the Eastern Soudan with KhirtOdm
as capital. 1t is cOnjectured that he may not
be unwilling to make definite arrangement
with the English Government for the permanent
occupation of this great district. Probably he
does not seriously entertain project OF snch
magnitude and one attended with 50 many
diplomatic and military difficulties. But 1t ia
necessary for him to render his policy on the
Red Sea Ineligible to the Italian people.
Signor MancIn was compelled to resign, not
because the activity he had displayed met with
popular disfavor, but because there was lack
of defniteness in his policy. Several expedi-
tons had been dispatched to the Red Sea and
Massoyah and other towns had been occupied (;
bat apparently the Government had neither
calculated the risks of war with Abyssnia, nor
obtained the consent of Europe, nor convinced
II self that the colonization of the district would
be of any practical advantage. Signor
Depretis will naturally take warning from his
former colleagues example. He probably has
not the rcmotcst intention of interposing in the
affairs Of the Soudan and volunteering TO send
military column across the desert and restore
order at Khartoum. General Rcci, who re-
Gently returned to Rome from the Red Sea,
strongly advised tho Chamber not to increase
the responsibilities of the country by 80 ILL
advised policy. What the Prime Minister is
hoping to settle by a personal Interview with
Lord Salisbury is undoubtedly the status OF the
new Italian settlements, over which the
Egyptian flag still floats and the suzerainty of
the Sultan extends.
1t is reported that Lord Salisbury is not in
clined to accept the Italian proposals with
reference to the seaboard and the interior, but
prefers to deal with the Sultan and to hold him
responsible for the restoration of order in the
Soudan. Since the Conservatives have returned
to power they have reverted to Lord Beacons-
fields theory that ConstantinoDlc is the ciplo-
matte centre of Europe and that every great
affair of State can be adjusted in the Sultan's
Palace. The Chancellor Of the Exchequer ro-
Gently remarked that England was bound to
proceed in concert with the other Powers,
among whom Turkey had special righg TO be
consulted, point which had been too much
neglected by the Liberal Administration. Sir
Henry Drummond w III has accordingly made
Constantinople his base OF active diplomatic
operations and Is expected to convince the
Sutans advisers that it is their duty to garrison
Suakim and to take charge of the Eastern
soudan. That no is an adroit diplomatist his
achievements in Eastern Roumclia have at
tested, but he viii have to be nothing less than
an Eastern magician III order to succeed in ar

THE FORESTRY COMMISSION

That Governor Hill has allowed the summer
to pass without putting into actual ana actVe
operation the Adirondack Reserve law Is not
surprising to those who have never suspected
him of entertaining any serious regard Tor the
nnblic welfare. As the executive head of the
State Government, it was plainly his duty to set
the proyided machinery at work to protect the
State woodlands but he has practically de-
feated the purpose of the law, and vetoed inc
act which he once signed by refusing tn appoint
commissioners If he has delayed action so
that he could have this patronage tn WELD Tor
the promotion of Governor HilPs political
fortunes when the critical occasion came, he
has made serious mistake.
It is worth while for politicians to cultivate
what the preachers call a realizing sense of
the fact tina. genuine public spirit is not a lost
virtue. In this State there are thousands of
people who take a lively interest in the preser-
vation of the forests, not because they look for
any personal profit or want any votes or any
office, but simply from an unseltish determine
ton that a priceless inheritance shall not be
wasted The Adirondack bill was passed be-
couse some such action was peremptorily de-
manded by a largeproportion of tho people OF
feel some obligation to leave the world In as
good condition at least as it was when they
found it. Certainly the good will of citizens OF
this sort is worth having but the Governor IA
not likely to win it by abandoning tho Stat"
forest to spoiation at this critical time, when
every marauder. big and little, feels that his
last opportunity for plumber may DO the present.
AS the case stands there Is one commissioner
who has vet to demonstrate that be has any
sympathy with the purpose of the act, and two
are to he appointed. IL is and for whole
season 1t has been, the business OF Governor
Hill to name two others. 1t is his business to
choose men with no axes to grind and NO um-
Der to SELL Ii is his business to name men OF
recognized character and reputation and men
who are known to be firm in their opposition tn
further iproads upon the State forest. 1t is h's
business to name men not only OF ability and
executive force. but mon who have given some
study to the problems involved and who know
something alb ,ut the difficulties to be faced and
the obstacles to be overcome. IL Is his bust
ness to name these men now.

rppErR1DE oVeEPRODUCTOM

One of the commonest ee-rrade pleas against
protection is based upon Overproducuon. tiS
frequently asserted that the effect OF artiilciay
stimulating manufacturing industries is as
astrous since the market is rapidly Overstockeu
o,d canital soon ceases to be productive.
Under the high-tarif system, the free trade pro-
tessors affirm. manufacturing is constantly an
t;cinating the actual requirements OF consump-
,ion. there is Cutting of the home markets, and
business interests suffer from reaction, depres-
sion and panic as the result OF crude economic
theories.
AS this ia one of the stock arguments against
the American economic system, II Is interesting
IN note hat Senator Edmunds has to say about
the commercial outlook in England. lie re-
marks that wherever he went during his recent
,our in the United Kingdom he found business
very much depressed and the cause was every

has gone on manufacturing" he adds, until
q she has glutted all her markets. There Is

save herself and prevent starvation or emigra-

Senator Edmunds, albeit protectionist. Is re-
carded with great favor by tho free-trade
doctrinaires IA an ideal statesman. Possibly
his plaip and incisve comments upon the
present condition of industrial England may
induce reflection on their part. If overproduc-
,ion has caused unexamplcd depression by glnt-
ting the English markets, 1t is not altogether
safe to condemn protection in America as a
system that inevitably leads to the same result.

MORMON REBELLION.

The Mormon Church continues its resistance
to law. Recent movements OF leading men OF
the church, indeed, lead to the impression that
a more stringent exercise of its power Is con-
templatsd in order to defeat the enforcement
of the federal laws. II cannot be said that the
laws have been harshly OF unreasonably ex-
ecuted. for If persons accused Of p6lygamy
chose to plead guilty and to submit them
selves to the law, and to pledge obedience in
future, as Orson Arnold did last spring, they
might expect to be dismissed, as he was, with
trifing fine. But this course, If taken by many
of tie prominent Mormons would quickly
destroy the power of the church. Therefore
resistance to the law was ordered.
Undoubtedly it was due to the authority OF
the church that q number Of prominent men
who announced their determination last spring
10 take the same course that Arnold took, have
since stood trial. been convicted, and are now
in jail. Others have refused to plead guilty or
10 promise future obedience to the law, ana
their cases are set for trial this fall. Hence
the power nf the church is eyerted TO prevent
their submission to the law. Nor il that power
10 be drspisrd. IL they yield, they can not only
be ostracised in the church. but also IN Nor
mon society, aud in all business relations; they
can be deprived of property and even OF lie
itself The country has not forgotten the de-
libcrate assassination of persons In times past
who had offended the Mormon authority The
ouestiop is whether the authority OF the Gov
eminent is respected or its power feared more
than the authority and the power OF the church.
Thus, as ever before, there is struggle De-
tween the Government of the United states
and an organized rebellion In utah
against it's authority. 1t is not the less rebel
lion against the law because It's cloaked by
pretended religious beliefs and obligations
What is really on trial is the existing Law, and
if that is not sufficiently effective to break up
the authority of the Mormon Church, and to
put an end to its resistance. the enactment OF
some other law tn that end will be necessary and
will be sustained by public opinion.
