TWEEN y Million Dogs

II is the everlasting regret Of man
that human friendship passes away.
Out Of the difficulty Of securing COM
panion who will forgive and forget all
faults, and also bear gifts, man turns to
the dog, thus proving that the gifts
need not be gifts of money. The dog
will look his master in the face, will
fatter that despot with silence which
can only delight the eloquent for very
man is eloquent-and will never forsake
the human friend who has honored the
poor servant and adulator above all
other dogs. On this account it is found
that one out of every three inhabitants
owns a dog. Prodigious testimony Of

of the householder goes out ON the street
and bites small boys. The father of a
bitten boy presents himself before the
owner OF the dog as a person grievously
wronged, and society must, through its
courts, debate and adjust a matter that
has two sides to n couple Of itigants.
The rich man will naturally hold his
pet dogs life at high price. The poor
father will hold the bite inflicted ON his
son TO be matter OF more than damages.
The dog must be killed. The law says
so, and the law is just. The owner be-

left eye was operated upon in a similar
way, but there was considerable delay
occasioned by hemoTTlage from the
ophthalmic artery. Both the eyes were
bandaged and the patient was trans

The wounds healed rapidly and there
were no drawbacks. The test for sight
was made after sixteen days, and the
vision was nearly normal. The appear
ance of the eyes is natural, save that
there is slight difference in motion.
The effect of giving the boy sight had
a more remarkable effect on the mind
than the operation itself. From the first

came glimmering of reason, and the
operation Of all the senses together
seemed to arouse the latent power that

there was a gratifying success. His

Early Instincts of an Inventor.

A story is told of the boyhood Of
George Westinghouse r., who is known
everywhere as the inventor of the cele-
britcd air-break which bears his name,
and later by his gigantic operations in
electric lighting and natural gas, which
shows that the germs of his inventive
ability were very early ripe for develop
ment. George was very fond of playing
ball, and was often absent from his
work at bis fathers factory 1t was at
last decided that Georges work should
be arranged ON the piece system instead
of on the time system, so that so soon as
he had finished his task he could seek
the seductions of the bail grounds. The
quickening effect of this arrangement
was soon made manifest, for without
any previous knowledge of the now
we'll known disc method of cutting met
ais, he experimental and discovered
that, with a circular disc of soft sheet
iron, on the highest speed of his lathe
he could split file. He quickly utilized
this method Of completing his daily
task and repaired so early each day TO
the hall ground that his father at first
feared a miscount had occurred. On
watching George ut work, however. he
soon saw for himself how the remark
able feat was accomplished.

Engraving on Glass.

NJ. Plante, distinguished French
electrician, has recently invented a pro
cess of engraving on glass in which
electricity takes an important part.
The surface to be engraved is first GOV.
cred with a solution of nitrate of potash
and is then connected with one of the
poles of battery. By means of plat
mum point the picture to be engraved
is thus traced upon the surface of the
glass. 1t is said that this method Sc
cures delicacy of outline which has NOT
been attained by any other tool. In
itself the process is perhaps only inter
esting to the technical men who are con-
cerned with this class of work. but it
serves to show the general reader how
rapid are the applications of the electric
forces to the arts of life Pittsburg

THE ERA OF PEACE.

The burst of fraternal enthusiasm at the
Buffalo banquet to the delegates of the
three Americas Congress is significant.
The toast that resulted in so exuberant
a manifestation of friendliness between the
Chilean and the Peruvian ministers, en-
bodied the sentiment that the three
Americas should be one in peace, and live
as kindly and helpful neighbors, and never
as enemies. Thereupon the Peruvian
minister sprang to his feet and extended
his hand to the Chilean minister who had
offered the toast in honor of the United
States Of America, and it was taken and
shaken heartily while all the delegates
arose and cheered. 1t may be said that
this was merely a little post-prandial ebuli-
ton to which no political significance at
taches; we think differently. These men
are not likely to say or do anything in the
presence of each other that they are not
ready to abide by, and which does not re-
fleet the sentiment OF their people. Chile
and Peru have been at war often enough
to make them abhor the very word. Peru
has always had the worst of the struggle, and
Chile has at times been merciless towards
her weaker neighbor. But there is every
reason to believe that Peru is ready to ac-
cept the situation as it is, and abandon all
thoughts of enmity towards or recovery
from her late foe, and that Chile is willing
to forego any further ambitions at the ex-
pense of Peru. That this sentiment is
strengthened by the call for the Congress
cannot be doubted. The statesmen Of the
several states Of the Americas, chosen for the
specific purpose, are now together for the
special achievement of such understanding
that peace and amity between all the
American states shall be permanent, and
the need for any one of them arming in
distrust of another may disappear wholly.
The very highest Office of craftsmanship

devolves upon these delegates, the con-
servation of peace, the promotion of mu-
tual interests, and the removal to the far
therest of any causes for distrust. As we
have once before said, they are to set an
example to the world of promoting
and peace-loving nations. They are to
prove that diplomatic wisdom and true
craftsmanship have reached that plane of
development where their highest honors
are to be won in making war unnecessary
Such is to be the craftsmanship Of the
future, and it will remain one of the
proudest monuments to the glory of our
own Government, that it was given to one
of its chief officials to sound the key note
of this exalted craftsmanship, when he said
to the Pan-American Congress. 'Friend-
ship and not force, a spirit of just law and
not the violence of the mob, should be
the recognized rule of administration be-
tween Americans and American Nations"

He Goes for Mobiles Scalp and Tells How
Harrison Carried Indiana.
WASHINGTON, October h-Ex-Psnsion
Commissioner Tanner makes public to-
night long letter in reply to the recent
published one of Secretary Noble and
strikes back savagelv.
First he denies that he was insubordi-
nate to Noble, and quotes in full letter of
his to Noble in August in which ne told
Noble that he had no desire to be insub-
ordinate; that he desired to carry out No.
ble's wishes, and if be had not done so he
wished Noble would advise him.
This letter Tanner claims that Noble did
OF make public, and in fact did not az swer
it. Tanner then takes up the question of
rerating and arrearages and defends his
own action in so doing on the ground that
it was his duty as Commissioner to do so,
when he discovered that injustice was
done.
In support of his action he calls Mobiles
attention to the fact that he, Noble, sent
General Powell, of Illinois, to ex-Com-
missioner Black with note and that it
resulted in Blacks rerating Powell and
giving him Sc, 800 arrearages without Pow
ell filing an application or submitting to a
medical examination.
This action, Tanner claims, justified him,
as it showed Mobiles belief at that time,
but since then he finds that Noble consid-
cred such actions illegal. Tanner was sur
prised at this sudden change of belief
Tanner then states his belief that he was
forced to resign because of his excessive
hberality in granting pensions, but claims
that ne was only carrying out what he and
other Republican speakers had promised
old soldiers in the campaign that elected
Harrison.
He (Tanner) had plastered Indiana all
over with such promises, in order TO cap
ture the soldier vote.
In conclusion be attacks the method of
the Commission that investigated the Pen
sion Office, and says that he (Tanner) was
denied the right OF being present and de-
Tending himself, and, in iact all he can
learn that the Commission discovered
wrong was that he Tanner was granting
more pensions than his predecessor. This
Tanner said he is glad OF.

SAMOA.

With the exact text of the Samoan
agreement unknown, the public cannot
comprehend just what difficulties are in
the way of recognition of Mataafa as King.
As understood, however, the Samoans were
to hold an election, and free choice was
to be guaranteed to them. But from what
can now be gathered, it appears that this
free choice" must result in the cleo
tioc of Malietoa. Just exactly why an
election was ordered then, is not clear, for
if the old King was to be restored to power
there was no need of the farce of an cleo
ton, in which the voters were instructed
that they must choose certain man. But
if the concessions of Germany were made
on that basis, there is nothing for the
United States to do but submit. We have
believed all along, and have SO made fire.
quent expression, that strict justice called
for the restoration of Malietoa to his rule,
from which without the slightest good ex-
cuse he was deposed by the arbitrary action
of the German Government. If we are
correct in our estimate of the character of
Mataafa, he will not interpose any objec-
ton, but will retire in favor of his aged
uncle The fighting chief, though ranked
as a heather, has shown himself to be
every inch man; indeed, when Malietoa
landed, in August last, he at once sought
him out and rendered him the honors of a
King. Mataafa by that act testified to his
entire willingness to lay aside his own am
bition in favor of his uncle. There can
be little doubt, therefore, but that he will
now gracefully retire, and not occasion his
friend, the United States, any trouble.
Even if Malietoa ascends the throne again,
Mataafa will virtually be the ruler of Sa-
moa, and his policy will be reflected in the
administration of the sovereign.

TAKING ACTION AT LAST.

The movement among representative
men of mountain and foothill counties to
put stop to forest destruction is taking
good form, and promises to amount to
something at last. Congress is to be APP
pealed to for the creation of forest reserves.
This is an excellent idea, but the State has
duty also in this matter that has thus far
been practically neglected. True, we have
Forestry Commission, but its powers are
SO circumscribed that it can do little more
than file reports and give advice, and, as a
rule, the Legislatures do not read the one
or take the other. We have the spectacle
now of the Chief Forester Of the State
establishing his headquarters at Los
Angeles, in which section there is the least
of forest growth. the headquarters being
several hundred miles distant from the sec
tions in which the grossest outrages are
perpetrated by the denudation of the
mountain and hill slopes 1t appears that
the people of Kern, Fresno, Mariposa,
MERGED and Tulare have fully awakened
to the fact that if the depredations of the
campmen. the sheepmen and the hunters
continue, the time will speedily arrive
when all the valley streams will run dry
early in the summer, and when the rains
come there will be such sudden floods as
will work incalculable damage in the low
lands. The underground being burned
out, there will be no retention Of snow, no
gradual feeding of the streams, and dis
astrous freshets will result and ruinous
REcoRD-UNIoN began to preach them to
the people of this State some seventeen
years ago, and has not failed to re-
peat the warning year by year ever
since. Other journals have been equally
diligent in endeavoring to rouse
public attention to the danger of permit
ting abnormal forest destruction to con-
tinue. In one or two years in all that
time there were spasmodic manifestations
of interest, and some steps were taken to
ascertain just what danger portended in
the premises. Finally Forestry Com
mission was created, but its power was
limited to examination of narrow belt of
country. Its reports, however, have justi-
fed all the warnings given. Two years
later the powers of the Commission were
broadened, but they are still inadequate.
If we are to profit by the experience of
Others, we ought now to study the history
of Germany, Austria, Switzerland and
France, in the matter of forestry. If we
are not worse than stupid we will not re-
main quiescent, but with the converting of
the next Legislature will begin upon such
line Of action as will save to the slopes
of our hills and mountains what remains
of their natural clothing, and which is so
vitality essential to the agriculture of the
valleys. and, indeed, to their occupancy.
For forest destruction with US may mean
such climatic changes as will render some
sections of the State, now populous, the
most undesirable portions of the continent.
1t is well that the people should be thor
oughly educated on the Importance of this
subject, with view to Legislatures being
chosen by them that will reflect the COM
mon wisdom of experience, so far. at least,
as the forestry question is concerned.

THE Republican State Central Commit
tee of Mississippi has withdrawn its ticket
and will not further push its canvass. The
cause assigned for this abandonment is the
hopelessness of Republicans securing fair
play in the election, and the inability of
the party to insure voters their right to
cast ballot without interference, and to
have an honest count of the ballots polled
made. This action may at least induce
such inquiry into the facts that the exact
