HIS SUMMER SUIT.

Not only in the spring does the young
it also touches more or less lightly npon a
more material subject, thoughts of summer
suit and the ways and means of procuring
it. A few there may be, of course, to
whom kind fortune has rendered the matter
one of little seriousness. TO the average
young man it is something to be pondered
long and earnestly, to be dreamed over and
to be considered with the seriousness which
the discrepancy between high-priced tailors
and meagre salary alone could lend it.
For a long time the advantage has been on
the side of the tailor. His impecunious
customers have been at his mercy. He
has been an autocrat whose SUBJ
jects meekly bowed to his DEGREES
and sought by all means to propftiate
him. But now the sepreme court of Yer
mont comes to the rescue of the long suffer
ing young man. With judicial solemnity
it declares that a tailor who agrees to
make satisfactory" suit-and, it is to be
presumed, satisfactory in price as in other
respects can't recover against the custo-
mer if the latter isn't satisfied. Their
learned lordships remember, evidently, the
time when they themselves were young
men and the summer suit problem period
ically engrossed their attention. Their de-
cision will be great relief to the young
man not overburdened with cash. who has
been groaning under the despotism of his
tailor. And, incidentally, what tremend-
Gus amount of dissatisfaction. with theiI
recently purchased garments, that ''satis-
factory" clause will give rise to among the
masculine readers under whose notice il
falls.

THE FORESTRY CONGRESS,


In September the fifth annual meeting of
the American forestry congress will take
place in Denver. Col. For the first time
the meeting will be held beyond the limits
of the wooded Eastern states and near to
the treeless plains of the West. The SUBJ
jects to be considered should be of vital
concern to every public-spirited man in the
West. In the Northwest, particularly, are
the matters to be considered by the congress
of interest. Here are in termingled the
conditions which obtain both in the we'll
wooded East and in the almost barren far
West. In one portion of the Northwest the
rapidly disappearing forests, falling victims
to the lumberman's axe and saw, should
arouse the people to the necessity for their
replacement by means of replanting or of
economy in their destruction. In an
other portion the possibility of covering
the naked prairie with forest
growth is certainly of interest, involving as
it does the eventual utilization of large
tracts of land now arid and worthless and
of affecting climatic conditions to a marked
and desirable degree. With the diffusion
of more intelligent appreciation of their
value, the necessity for preserving existing
forests and stimulating the growth of 9TH
ers is becoming generally recognized. 1t is
gratifying to observe that the West and
Northwest are now giving the subject their
attention. 1t is to be hoped that the con-
gress will be fully attended and that it will
be found practical to carry into effect the
conclusions which it will reach.

THE TAN-rITLE DECISION.

Public opinion is power that cannot be
resisted in free government. 1t is more
effective lawmaker than legislatures and
IS better interpreter of law than courts.
A fOrcible illustration of this fact is found
in the two recent decisions of the supreme
judicial tribunal of this state in reference
10 the tax laws. In the first instance a
construction had been placed upon the tax
laws which placed real estate
titles upon a most insecure basis
and gave the tax laws the force
CT confiscation acts. In the next case the
court holds that the tax laws are invalid be-
cause of their unconstitutionality and all
tax titles are wiped out of existence. Dur
ing the interval between the tyo decisions
there had arisen storm of public indigna-
ton regarding the status of the tax laws as
they had been interpreted by the courts.
1t may not be proper to say that this eX-
preston of popular opinion had any
weight in influencing the court in making
the last decision, but that they should
have come so close together is coincident,
to say the least of it. 1t would be nothing
to the discredit of the court if it did pay
respect 10 the popular Will. Inc people
are sovereign and the courts are only
instruments to execute justice, and it is no
reflection upon the judges to say that in
executing justice they have pleased their
rulers. This double balrelled tax law de-
ciSioD suggests one amendment that ought
be made to laws regulating the judiciary.
The statutes should require that in
+ba nd ,l,o
upon such points as are suggested by the
counsel. but that they should be required to
decide every point that may be involved in
the case and the laws governing it. If, in
deciding the first case under the tax laws
that was presented to the supreme court,
the judges had declared, as they did in the
second case, that the law was unconstitu-
tional. it would have saved a good many
hard thoughts and great deal of public in
dignation.

these lands which was maintained last
year is kept up in the future, in ten years
time there will be no such thing as
the public domain. The reckless lib
erality and carelessness which has
marked the American public lands system
will be responsible for the cheating of the
people out of their birthright During the
last fiscal year over 10000, 600 acres were
taken from the free lands. Much of 1t, no
doubt, was honestly entered and occupied,
but experience has proven there is good
ground for the superstition that almost as
much was dishonesty acquired, This
deliberate waste of the public domain Is
something in which the Northwest, par
ticularly Dakota, is much interested. 1t is
very likely that the land laws will be ma
terially modified by the present congress.
Anything which it may accomplish in the
way of providing surer safeguards for
preventing the remainder of the govern
ment lands from falling into the hands of
others than those who seek to build up new
and prosperous homes in the West, will re-
ceive hearty commentator.

AMERICAN OPERA ar Chicago
A Series of Productions That Proved
Eminentiy Satisfactory.

A Series of Productions That Proved
Eminentiy Satisfactory.
Special to the Globe.
Opera company tonight concluded the first
week of its engagement. The week has
been an unqualified success. The theater
has been crowded with the elite of the city.
The weeks work has embraced the pr oduc-
ton of five operas, each given with a gem
eral completeness and thorough equipment
in detail which revealed to music-lovers for
the first time the possibilities in operate
representation. Beginning with Wagner's
"Lohengrin" on Monday night, Nieolais'
merry Wives of Windsor" and Wagners
"Flying Dutchman" were successfully
given. This AFTERNOON ''Lacknhe" was re-
peated and to-night" Orpheus." All in all the
musical features OF these productions have
never been surpassed. Theodore Thomas
wonderful orchestra has delighted thou
sands OF critical hearers, the singers have
in no case been mediocre. the magnificent
chorus has won the highest and most de-
served praise, the ballet has given artistic
rather than sensational exhibitions, and
that most abused department, the scenic
and stage accessories, have been of kind
the blush, though no liberties in
this direction have been taken with
the works presented or the scenic eff
orts allowed to dwarf or interfere
with the musical side of the opera. Of the
singers Nine. Hastrieter has commanded
the most attention, not because she is a
Chicago woman, but because Of her superb
voice and unexeelled dramatic performan-
ces. In Nine. Hastrieter's success the
practicability and worthiness of the Ameri-
can opera company is vindicated. Pauline
Lallemand, a Syracuse, N. Y, girl, who
married her remarkable name abroad. made
her first appearance on Tuesday evening.
and established herself as fayorite. She
has all the grace and vivacity in action Of
Patti. whom, by the way. she greatly re-
sembles. and her voice is Of marvellous
sweetness and purity in the upper tones,
though lacking somewhat in fullness and
strength in the lower register. The is a
pleasing artistic. Miss Emma Juch and
Jessie Bartlett Davis have received their
share of deserved attention.

of his head, with its sparse growth Of
hair, down his neck, hands and even to his
thin feet, which the leather of his shoes
failed to masquerade from observing eyes.
He was quick in his movements, charac-
teristic of his nervous temperament.
While admonishing his steed to be less
economical of her speed and to cover por-
ton of the territory adjoining the barn near
Seven corners, he was perched upon the
seat of spring wagon in the shafts of
which the horse was standing.
Nellie failed to move.
A good-natured old man, attracted by the
sight, and at first sound of the drivers
voice entertaining the belief that balky
horse was On exhibition, moved
up to the wagon. He was
followed by several others, and in
a brief space of time go0d-siZed crowd Of
men. women and children was assembled.
The dapper little driver made another at
tempt to start the animal, but the latter
opened her great big eyes and looked in the
eyes Of her would-be driver and neglected
to move a. step.
''He looks like sober man, don't he?'
queried one of the crowd.
Il guess he was out late last night.
Maybe he amt been home" remarked an
other.
His mother.in-law has just got here, I
guess for he don't look like drunken
man." suggested third.
what be We trying to dog" asked the
good-natured old man, who was the first on
the scene, addressing his question to the
dapper little fellow.
by Jover' replied the party addressed,
II got new horse yesterday and / wanted
to try her, that's all. She must be balky,
for you see can't get her to move"
Did yer ever have horse?" asked the
| goOd-natured old man.
"Of course have. What a peculiar
question. Why in Boston my father owned
horses and l always had one. By Jove,
you make me tired. But what's the matter
with NeIlie?"
1.-The only thing what can see," slowly
remarked the old man, sis that you have
got her hitched UP hind end to. Suppose
you hitch her up with her head at the front
of the shafts and give her fair chance to

CYCLONE THEORISTS.

The GLOBE is in receipt of number of
communications, in which the writers at
tempt to throw some light ON the origin of
cyclones, but as they are in the main mere
speculations and scientific theories without
any evidence of their correctness, we have
refrained from burdening our columns with
them. twill be observed, however, that
we have given space to the views of not
able weather prognosticator, who informs
us that on the day the cyclone struck st.
Cloud and Sank Rapids the planet Mercury
was in aphelion and in direct line with
Urinus and to that incident the cause of the
cyclone is attributed. If Mercury will
promise not to do it again, or at least will
give the inhabitants of earth timely notice
of its intentions to cut such another caper,
the jewellers on this mundane sphere will
be profoundly grateful.

An old man walked along Seventh street.
ends, fell over his ccat-collar. A we'll
worn hat covered his head. His face was
sunken and contained a grayish beard of
several days growth. His eyes, gray and
well back in their sockets, had dreary,
far-away look that appeared to occupy his
attention. leaving him no time to look either
to the right or left. His gaze was directed
to the ground.
He walked in the gutter, did this old man,
and, as he walked along with his hands
folded behind him and his form bent over
to admit of the clasping of his hands, he
formed sight that attracted not little at
tention from the passers-by.
He paused, looked about him to see that
he was not attracting too much attention.
and STOPPING down quickly picked up an
object, and after hurriedly depositing it in
his coat pocket for that garment was of
the short sack pattern and contained two
immense pockets, assumed an upright posi-
ton and continued his tramp. Several times
he repeated this series of movements in the
course of a block.
Whats the matter with the old man?'
asked passing observer of the little Incl
dent.
Don't yer know fer sure?' categorically
answered small bootblack who stood on
the corner smoking a cigaret.
NO" replied the man.
s'Why. he's picking ssnipes' That's
what's the matter with him." exclaimed
the bootblack.
What do You mean by 'snipes'?"
''Oh! come off; yer knows 'snipes, ,
don't yer? 'Snipes' is cigars smoked up
and thrown away. Old Joe is after a
smoke. He's great smoker. he is, and
can't stand to buy tobaceer. so he sneaks
it on the gutter. Joe's good one. How
does he use it? Why sure. He dries the
'snipeS and then smokes the tobaccer."
