A POWER AT WASHINGTON
Shasta Park and Protecting Streams


The San Francisco Chronicle saws: Cen
eral Land Agent William H. Mills, of the
Central Pacific Railroad, speaking of the
scheme for reserving n tract of land about
Mount Shasta for National Park,
says that some of the ideas suggested
III the plan have been embodied in the
recent report of Assistant Secretary Muld-
row to Congress; that some of the sugges-
gesions made by Mr.. Muldrow for the pro-
lection OF timber lands about the sources of
streams were very good, and should have
been made TO apply in this State long ago.
There was, however, one vital defect in the
recommendation, and that was that the
reservations could be disposed of only on
proof given to the Secretary of the Interior
that the land is more available for agricult-
ural purposes. Mr.. Mills said that in such
case the proof" would generally be in
favor of the farming of the lands wherever
this was possible He believed that the
Government could never have these lands
properly protected until they were granted
to the different States in trust. If this
were done, it would be seen to that the
process OF timber denudation would not
go on as it would otherwise The move
ment to prevent the decreasing of the land
about the heads of such streams as the
Sacramento and Feather rivers and the
waters flowing through the Yosemite Val
ley was, he believed, popular one, but it
could only be successfully accomplished by
State control of the lands.
Senator Stanfords attention has been at
tracted TO the need of better plan for the
prevention of illicit mber-cutting, and it
is thought that he will urge State control of
the timber tracts about the heads of streams
throughout the United States.

A DISeRGANIZER.

There are evidences that the knights of
Labor at the East are beginning to realize
the truth of the oft-repeateG words,
"Strikes do not pay" Some of the lead
ers in the Middle States have come frankly
to the front and confessed that true wis
dom finds better methods of attaining
rights than by attempts to coerce employ
ers and intimidate employees. As the
Cleveland Leader well says, ;" Not only do
strikes not pay, and mainly fail, but they
represent a suicidal policy for labor organ
nations" That is to say, as in every
strike, the labor organizations lose some
percentage of membership, the organized
labor force is diminished in proportion as
strikes are promoted. In the case of the
street car strike in New York two years
ago, a large majority of the strikers de.
serted the Knights of Labor, and have moi
since, in any considerable number, re
turned to fellowship in the Order. In the
same year. 1886, there was strike of mag
nitude in Newark, \. j., among the EN-
ployes of manufacturers 1t is in testi
mony that it was due to the leader

the Knights of Labor, who counted
upon the strength of the Ordel
to carry them through. But it dismal,
failed TO do 50. After heavy loss of tim,
and wages these LEADERS proposed arbi
tration, but it was refused. The men real
lied that they had been led on to error
and deserted the leaders by the score. A,
last resort these fellows issued an order
for the men to return TO work until new
strength had been gathered. The men
however, ignored the order, informed theil
employers tLat they returned to work O

BELvA LOCKWOOD has utterly dashed
her chances for the Presidency. She has
been so thoughtless as towrite a long letter
defending the polygamous practices in
Utah upon the basis of religious tolerance.
Not that she approves of polygamy, but
she favors the admission of Utah regardless
of the existence of polygamy therein, since
she holds that the Mormons adhere to it
from religious conviction. We are sorry
for Belva Certainly, she can never be
President, after that.

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en-
abled to ward off the danger and postpone
the moment when surrender becomes in
evitable. In many instances the inherent
strength of the body sufhces to enable it to
oppose the tendency toward death. Many,
however, have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little or no help. In
other cases a little aid to the weakened
lungs will make all the difference between
sudden death and many years of useful
life. Upon the first symptoms of cough,
cold or any trouble of the throat or lungs,

man. One night fire broke out which
consumed the building containing the
young lawyers Office He arrived on the
scene in time to see the flames licking up
his precious library and all the contents of
his Office. There, while gazing at the re-
morseless flames, he says he decided to go
to California. He had five brothers living
in Sacramento who had been anxious to
have him with them, and he resolved that
he would go Taking what he had accu-
mulated-about S600-and selling little
piece of timber land-about forty acres
which he had purchased, he left Fort

of three years.

whose votes it has been determined that

able to conclude that it was not the mere
cost Of the work that so stirred these pow

THE Senate Committee on Education
has unanimously instructed its Chairman to
"report fayorably the bill providing fol
the appointment Of Commission of five
persons, all OF whom shall not be advo-
Gates of total abstinence to investigate the
alcoholic liquor traffic, its relations to
revenue and taxation, and its general
economy, and criminal and moral and
scientific aspects, in connection with pau
peiism, criminal social vice, public health
and the general welfare of the people, and
also to inquire and take testimony as to
the practical results of license and prohib-
itory legislation for the prevention of in
temperance in the several States of the
Union" This inquiry, we do not believe,
will throw any light upon the subject adj
ditional to that the country now possesses.
1t may, however, satisfy the ardent advo-
Gates of prohibition, and possibly it may
dispel some errors. The Commission will
be an expensive affair at best, and will
leave the subject-matter very much where
it found it, as to the facts, because, as we
look at it, no testimony can be produced
before it that has not been marshaled al
ready by statisticians and the temperance
people. So far as the manufacturers and
dealers in liquors are concerned, they
ought to welcome the Commission and
favor full inquiry. Whatever the facts
and their relation to society and gov
eminent, their official development will
settle great deal of dispute that is vex-
atious. In this aspect of the case, there
fore, the Commission may do good; but,
as either temperance or an anti-regula-
ton step, we do not think the advocates OF
prohibition have much to hope for from it
nor the liquor men much to fear.
