FOREST PRESERVATION.
Liquidation Necessary 90 Prevent the De-
HtrucfIon Of Wood-Landa.

Liquidation Necessary 20 Prevent the De-
struetion Of Woodlands.
The situation Of our American wood
lands, and the fact that in England
even stringent measures are under
consideration for the increase Of the
forests. give the experience of the
smallest State in Europe considerable
interest in forestry. 1t was found in
1868 that an enormous quantity Of
wood was being imported into Switzer-
land, and that the native yield
amounted TO almost nothing. The
Swiss Government. on asceTtaining the
situation, Immediately recognized the
Forest Department. aud placed all the
forests under the control of the State
The owners of wooded lands could not
cut down trees without the consent
Of a Government official. Even barren
hillsides could not be touched with the
axe. The severe measure ut once pre-
vented the waste Of wood, and made
the cantOnal forests even source Of
revenue, both 10 individuals and to the
each acre Of forest under Government
control gave = free yearly revenue Of
one dollar and twenty-five cents an
acre. The example Of Switzerland
could not easily be repeated in q larger
country where the State is less per-
fectly controlled. but many Of the
closely settled countries of Europe
have been compelled to resort 20
similar measures in order 10 prevent
the exhaustion Of their timber and the
waste Of their forests Il is reported
that the Russian Government has
undertaken the restoration Of the
forests Of Turkestan. which had
been wasted in recent years,
and BY whose disappearance the cOun-
try was taking on the character Of
desert. Il is believed that England is
well situated for the easy restoration Of
its forest wealth. and that in no long
time measures which have already re-
ceiVed attention for the conversion Of
our own waste lands into forests in
New England will commend them
selves TO private enterprise, IL they do
not take the form Estate legislation. In
Switzerland the Government even went
80 far as to grant q subsidy Of from
thirty to fifty per cent Of the total
cost Of planting forest trees, and. in
addition, supplied the owners Of waste
lands with young trees from the State
nurseries ~ a price much below their
prime cost for this purpose. The time
Is not far distant when legislation win
be necessary in our own country in the
several States TO prevent the wholesale
destruction Il forests, on whose pres
ervation depend the agricultural and
industrial welfare II large part Of
our population. Even in New England
the ravages Of the lmnbermen in the
forests about and IN the White Mount
ain region have already seriously af-
feeted the country between the mount
aims and the sea, and have partially
dried up the streams which used 10

made by the Electric Light Co. to

water works for the city. The water
comes from numerous springs in

Fined and Committed by the Police Court.
The police court had some high
toned birds for trial Saturday
high-toned in their way. One wore
a plum cOlOred silk dress. She was
woman. She was cOmely to look
upon. Her partner-fOT such he
proved to be-was a young fellow
about - years of age. She gave her
name rs Maud Parker; home Atchi-
son; lately from Ellsworth. He
paraded his unmanly form under the
title OF Harry Winters. There may
be nothing in q name, but suspicion
arose in the minds OF not a few that
their respective names were as nu-
merous rs the towns they visited.
They were charged with keeping q
house Of prismRtic eOlOrs and with
evil practices, and their place Of
business as being over Williams &
Benfield's harness shop, on North
santa Fe avenue. They were arrest
ed last evening, found q lodging
place over night in separate rooms
of the calabOOse, and the police
Judge this morning fined Maud S25
and costs and Harry $50 and costs.
The street commissioner had him
out to-day cleaning the cutters on
East Iron avenue, with ball and
chain attached to his ankle. He
has a fine prospect ahead-S59 in all
and dollar day on the street or at
the rOck-pile. The woman had no
money and was confined In Jail.
She was rather n hard case, indulg-
ing in considerable profanity, but
when she found she had togo to jail
she perceptibly wilted. The sight Of
a woman being locked up called for
the cOmmiseratiOn OF mankind.
T.. Pike was arrested yesterday
afternoon, plain drunk, and having
his trial soon thereafter was fined IS
and costs by the police judge. He
too was without funds and il became
incumbent upon him to work out his
fine on the streets. He was shovel
ing dirt from from the cutters to-day
under direction. He came over
from Minneapolis as leader Of their
band but was discharged. He is a

cred an address last Thursday even

Elements Of Success in American
Statesmanship." The address was
entirely ofF-hand and be was Oeeu-
pied all Of an hour in it's delivery. II
was q good, sensible talk, borne out
by deductions drawn from his own
public career and from associations
with prominent men and noteworthy
affairs. He compared the statesman
with the professional politician,
making Il quite manifest that the
former was too often az a disadvant-
age when brought in contact with
the Vaccinations Of the latter. The
address was accorded the highest
niche by those who heard it. for the
convincing truths and the lesson il
contained. Unfortunately il was a
question whether Col. Phillips would
be able to return from Wichita,
where he had gone as q delegate to
the Republican convention, In time
for the lecture, and so the audience
was not as large as it should have
been. But il was fair in size.

little ehary in its course, Il will
quickly write itself rs q chronic
grumbler-lnOre particularly where
Salina is concerned. We will say to
the man who holds down the local
page Of that paper that the Salina
fire department exerted themselves
10 the extent OF their ability to treat
all their visitors to the late tOurna-
ment with the greatest courtesy and
hospitality, expanding nearly 81 100
ia the arranging aud carrying out OF
that very successful State gather
ing. The matter Of the band contest
was a little unfortunate but entirely
justifiable under the rules. Three
prizes-Of SO, so, aud &25-were Of
fered in the contest aud the regule-
lions ~ adopted by the association
provided that four bands must he
entered for the contest the fTst day,
or il would he declared of. As q
matter Of fact, no entry was made
the first day, and the only bands
that appeared for contest, and which
were In the parade at the opening
exercises, were the Gazette Band,
Abilene, the Minneapolis Band, and
the Fourth Regimental Band, Sail
ma. When the evening of the first
day arrived and il was thought no
band trial would follow, then a pOr-
tiou Of the remaining funds were
expended for the evenings display
Of fireworks. But finally on the sec
Ond day, for the very laudable pur-
pose Of sustaining reciprocal aud
pleasant relations with all Of Salinas
neighbOrs aud visitors, the $50 yet
ON hand was put up aud the bands
told to contest for IL, the Salina band
preferrIng il should go to the bands
from abroad and not entering i'm the
trial. The sum was divided in one
and two parts, $50 going to the Ga
zette band and SO to the MinneapO-
lis band. We ask any reasonable
person, was any Salina gentleman
censurable? The Reflector il churl-
ish. As the tournament was being
held &C Salina our fire department
did not strive for any prizes while
seeming to do so. For instance, in
the hook aud ladder speed race when
il came to Salinas turn TO run, Au-
gust and AL. Krause, two large
strong men, who were at the wheels,
held back with all their might, caus-
ing those at the front to become
considerably angered. The Salina
company could not help it that they
took the prize for good looks. No
body has been known to grumble
at the outcome Of the tournament
except the Reflector. The whole az
fair as far as we have been able to
learn passed of without a jar, and
Salina carried out its contract IN
every particular.

Mass Meeting.

A large and enthusiastic Democratic
meeting was held at Cambria, Luzerne Co.,
Thursday night of last week, at which the
issues of the campaign, viz protection and
tariff reform were ably discussed by the
following gentlemen 7. II. Martin Esq,
Wilkesbsrre, w. II. Hines, candidate for
State Senator, John Lynch, candidate for
Congress- Lenahan, candidate for District
Attorney and candidate for Prothonotary
Jacobs. This was corps Of able speakers.
Large delegations poured in from New
Columbus, Van Camp, saltwater, Benton,
Huntington Mills, Register and Fairmont.
The occasion was enlivened by the New
Columbus band and the Saltwater and the
Register drum corps. Preliminary, how
ever was the raising of large and hand
some hickory pole so to 90 feet in length,
with Thurman streamer floating, of which
no previous arrangements were made, the
pole having arrived at, or about dark when
no hole was yet dug for its planting. After
all the arrangements were completed for
its raising and already partly raised it was
discovered that the pole was under the
telephone wire, which at this point crossed
the street, hence II was impossible to raise
it from this direction. 1t had to be taken
down and its position reversed which also
necessitsted to partly re.dig the hole, after
which the jubilant crowd raised the man.
moth pole in triumph amidst the cheers of
the multitude. By this time 1t was nearly
10 o'clock and the crowd was ordered by
the Marshal, Sias McHenry, to fall in llnc
and march to the hotel corner in the fol-
lowing order band first, drum corps next,
and the crowd to their music. The meet
ing was called to order by M. @. Britain,
chairman of the Democratic club of Hunt
ington township. Able speeches were made
by the speakers in turn, when Lenahsn
closed with five minutes speech. Our
Republican friends here are skeptical, con-
fident and defying, hut tremble in the
balance, for they already feel that they
''are weighed and found wanting"

A Game with the Athletics.

During the base ball season the question
was frequently asked as to when it was
that the Athletic Base Ball Club of Phila-
delphia played in Bloomsbury. Reference
to the files of the COLUMBIAN gives full
account of the game. The Athletics played
AT Catawissa the day before, and then came
over to Bloomsbury, where they spent Sat
urdsy and Sunday. They were a very
gentlemanly set of young men, and went
away from here well pleased with their
treatment The game was played on the
fair grounds on Saturday, August 81, 1869.
The Athletics embraced such old time play
ers as Reach, Mcbride, Cuthbert, Flsler,
Sensenderfer, McMullen, Foran, Radcliffe
and Berry. Sensenderfer is now one OF
the county commissioners of Philadelphia,
and Reach is the proprietor of large
sporting goods factory in that city. The
Independent nine was made up as follows;
r. c. Neal. s. s., w. j. Buckslew, p,
Lloyd Appleman, 7. f., q. 5. Furman, c.,
f. W. Elwell, 2b, F. p. Billmeyer, !. f.
w. Shut, 3d., G. K. Elwell, lb., L. Mellick,
u, l. III tuC HtSt hSi'hSA oiuS heNS
any runs, Neal and Furman went out on
fouls aud Appleman failed 10 reach first
Mcbride sent fly to Billmeyer, Reach
and Cuthbert were put out at first and sec
ond by double play by Neal, e. Elwell
and G. e. Elwell.
In the second inning the Independents
made one run and the Athletics 8.
Then the visitors commenced to pound
the balls. Some of them went over the
fence, and most of them went where there
was no body to stop them. They sent
them just where they pleased, and the
score would have been bigger than it was,
if the Athletics had not grown tired OF
running. The score was as follows;
| Independent. .0-1-3 1-3-1-0-0-0-O-0
Athletic. .0-3 -39-5-l0-1l-l2-234 Al ia
Since this game was played, nearly
twenty years ago, the rules OF the game
have been greatly changed, and the players
of those days would scarcely recognize il
as the old-fashioned base ball
