SAMUEL }. TILDEN DEAD.

NEW YORK, August Especial l.
Hon. Samuel j. Tilden died at Greystont
at 8 o'clock this morning, surrounded BY
members of mis- family and his physician
He passed peacefully away Death was
caused by heart troubles, superinduced
by disease of the stomach. There is
much excitement, and general expressions
of regret and sympathy are manifested.
There is no man in the country
today so dear to the hearts of the de-
mocracy as was Samuel J. Tilden. He
it was who led the Democratic party to
national victory in 1876, but who. rather
than involve the nation in civil war, as he
would have done by protecting his lust
rights, quietly acqu,esced in the de.
cision of the electoral commission, and
the seat which the American peonle
chose him TO occupy, was filled for four
years by the fraud, Rutherford B. HAYES.
Rather than endaneer the peace of the
country he lived in, he put pride aside and
retired to the quiet of his home iu-New
lo1k-while others enjoyed the honors
which were justly his.
Mr.. Tilden's administration of the
gubernatorial duties of New York won
the admiration and esteem of the pcople
OF the state. which soon spread aud
rpened into national affection His iu>
huenee with the democratic party was
national and so great was the confidence
which his party placed in him that he
was urged to be the standard bearer for
The campaign of 1880 and 1884. but he
refused, owing to his decline in years and
health To his advice and influence the
election of Grover Cleveland to the pres
idency was largely due, and he reioiced
with the triumph of the democracy in
1903 as II ne had personally been the
victor. He was loved, esteemed and ad-
mired, and his life will be written amopc
'hose OF the great mes of the nation.

by the government of Mexico to carry out
International obligations can never assent

In q lecture given in the University
course at Philadelphia, by DR.. Rothrock,
the following important points were pre-
scented, showing the necessity for forestry
laws 10 protect the future timber trade of
the country. The proportion Of timber
lands 10 other productive territories in the
various countries was given, ranging from
the three per cent OF Great Britain to the
foriy-liv per cent az Sweden The pro-
portion for the United States IS sixteen and
a half. The loves. ratio that can be called
self-su.taining IS fifteen, hence The United
States has only aIna5SiD OF one and half.
At the present rats which cur forests are
being destroyed this small advantage will
sooa disappear. Between the years 1872
and 1876 the United States exported $780,
900, coo worth Of timber. besides using
about $40 80 per head at home. There
ought to be as large proportion of wood
land for atmospheric publication as for
timber.
The rainfall is rot necessarily effected by
clearing of timber. but failing rivers and
failing springs do result from it, for forests
diminish evaporation over eighty per cent.
Germany has nine schools of forestry OF
high standing, with able teachers and
growing classes Of pupils One man in this
eountry-Professor Sargent, of Massachu-
setts-is the only person employed and
paid by q State to look after our vast emf
pire Of timber lie has worked hard to
secure active measures to protect the in
terest inlrnsted to him. The reckless de-
struciion nf trees is the first thing to be
cured. Within five years our best white
pine will all be gone, within thirty-6vc or
forty years all the rest of oar good timber
will have been exhausted. Can there be
any question about the necessity of legis
lation, State and national, to protect the
country from timber famine now threat
ening it2
