There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain:
Bnt when youth, the dream, departs,
1t takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger, and are better,
Under manhood's sterner reign;
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth. with flying feet,
And Will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air,
But 1t never comes again.

when men add to the burdens of bust

WOODMAN, SPARE THAT TREE.
The wanton destruction of the trees of
this country is attracting some attention,
though not as much as it ought to. The
amount of timber converted into lumber
in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota last
year reached the enormous aggregate of
more than eight thousand, three hundred
and five millions superficial feet, exclusive
of white pine shingles, which, if added,
would bring the total consumption up to
1900, ,00O, 900 feet. The census reports the
standing timber lands of lower Michigan
to be only one-tenth of What they were in
1880, and the present aggregate in the
States of Michigan, Minnesota and Wis
consin is little more than one-third of that
possessed by Michigan alone ten years ago
These figures reveal the enormous drafts
which are being made upon our timber
supply. Wanton and reckless destruc
ton is, indeed, threatening the forests
the country over, and it is easy to SET
that if the present rate of consumption il
maintained the time when the three States
mentioned shall be denuded of their tim
Der lands can be easily calculated. II
fact we are already receiving practical evi
dence of the near approach of this periot
in Michigan by the forced closing of indus
tries by reason of the scarcity of timber il
| sections which were once the center o
Michigan's magnificent forests.
The European countries long ago Learned
to take care of their forests. It is higl
time that this country took active meas
ures to repair in some degree the great in

COMMUNICATIONS.

An Answer to ssSanitarlan.''
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
A person signing himself ''Old Santa
rian" has sent you two silly letters. He
says the Board of Health ought to cost
more than "paltry s12, 900 a year." and
seems to think it would be fine thing for
the so, 200 people of New Haven to place
their real estate, health and lives fully in
the keeping of what he calls scientific
humanitarians"-that is, the Board of
Health.
If the fool killer does not get "Old Sani-
tartan" before this is printed, ask him
these plain questions, to all of which NC
must be- answered: ---
Was the 'shumanitarian"-ism of the
members of the Board of Health ever
heard of before they went into the ''sani,
tary" businessl
In cases of illness requiring unusual
Judgment, attainments and skill, do our
citizens seek aid and counsel of the Board
of Health!
Before 1872 we had no Board of Health
to support. Are the people any better off
in consequence of the existence of that
boards
In the recent debate between DIR. Dibble
and prominent member of the Board of
Health, did the ''sanitarian" make the best
argument! TAXPAYER.

THE OWNERS OF THE EARTH.

THE OWNERS OF THE EARTH.
Telephone and electric light companies
have done pretty much as they pleased in
stringing wires over peoples houses and
setting up poles in front thereof, but it
now appears that, according to law, no one
electric company owns the earth. When
the Albany and West Troy horse railroad
company changed its power to electricity
it constructed the single trolly overhead
system of propulsion. In operation the
railroad current seriously interfered with
telephone communication along the same
route. The telephone company began an
action against the railroad company,
which, after going through various
stages and being prolonged for two
years or more, was decided by referee
last week against the telephone company
The point at issue was whether the rail
road company, coming upon the route
after the telephone company, could use
the earth for its return current. The de-
cision of the referee is to the effect that nc
one can acquire exclusive use to any part
of the earth for the purpose of grounding
electric wires. In the case of telephone
and electric railroad wires occupying the
same streets or roads the one that suffers
inconvenience must find its remedy in car.
rying its wires far enough away from the
other to be out of hariM's way.
This is somewhat cheering decision
though, as will be seen, it leaves the own
ership of the earth in the hands of all thu
electric companies. But it is something
not to have that ownership vested in any
one COMPANY

EDITORIAL NOTES,

The officers of the New York Central
railroad have plainly shown their ability
to manage the road. They evidently do
not need any help from "the district as
sembly."
John Burns, who led the great London
dock strike, bas gone back to work. He
thinks the good results of strike, when
there are good results, do not compensate
for the loss to the strikers.
The people of the United States have
small excuse for s'dying without medical
attendance" Germany has one doctor to
1900 of population; France one to 3,167;
the United Kingdom one to ], 49,, but the
United States one to 600
The courts are beginning to work in the

of it before his soul went hurrying to th'

Nothing greedy about this. Where do the
creditors come inl

Extreme ugliness is ON the list of quail
fcations laid down by the medical depart
ment for French conscripts. Excessive
ugliness," says the chief of the depart
ment, "makes a man ridiculous, prevents
him from having authority over his COM
rades, and leaves him morbid and sensi-
tive" 'tMale hysteria" is another valid
plea for excuse from military service. The
army doctors say it exists among French
conscripts, and it is more Objectionable as
it is contagious.
California will profit much by her
abundant fruit crop this year. 1t is esti-
mated that the crop of raisins will reach
Al, ,000, 900 pounds. The planting of vines
is going on extensively and it is thought
that 81, 900 acres will be in bearing next
year, with an output of at least So, ,000, 900
pounds of raisins. The seedless Sultanas
do well, the Malagas succeed better than
any other grape in Southern California,
but the Mnscats are grown more than any
other variety. They have rich and spicy
flavor and the raisins are in great demand.
The moral reformer of China is the pro-
vincial treasurer of Soochow. He has
issued proclamation commanding man
ayers of theaters in Shanghai to desist
from the representation of immoral plays.
Restaurants and other places of public in
terest must discontinue employing female
performers. Immoral plays" the pro-
vincial treasurer says, "excite the female
mind, and sometimes lead women to imi-
tate the wicked actions portrayed on the
stage" Because theaters have tbeen estab-
lished so long that it would be impossible
to wean the public mind from them SO far
as to permit of abolishing them," all that
can be done is to purge them from their
sensational, degrading and licentious'
dramas.
The important statement comes from
California of the discovery of a new paint
oil that is far superior to the oil extracted
from fiaxseed. 1t has better adhesive
qualities, and when mixed with paint and
applied to an exposed surface it lasts much
longer. 1t is also claimed that neither the
heat and dryness of summer nor the cold
and wet of winter will cause it to crack OF
scale off. Paint applied with this oil does
not blister or form wrinkles 1t preserves
its elasticity and gloss much longer than
linseed oil does. 1t is stated that it can be
furnished at about half the price of the
| best linseed oil of commerce. In most kinds
| of work it is not necessary to add any
"dryer" to it. The new material is OBJ
tanned from fish oil that has long been used

The attempt of the New York
spectators in money to cramp the
business world has for the time
failed, and the business of the country
continues to improve. But for some
time to come the contest between the
actual workers and the large money
kings will continue. The country need
ed more money and is getting it, thanks
to the prompt action of congress. We
know that the money speculators are
conspiring against silver, but the time
of actual danger has passed. The con-
spiracy business will no longer be tol-
Grated in this country under the guise
of superior financial wisdom. The mo-
ment the conspirators are discovered
they will be exposed and be given a
dose of legislation that will last them.
The power to limit the currency wants
of the country to the wishes of few
money lenders must be taken away.
The locking up of currency by combi-
nations can be prevented if the people
will profit by the experience gained in
recent years. If the present silver law
is hampered in lts operation by combi-
nations, the people will give the combi-
nation conspirators wider field of
operation. They can be given free sill
yer If the occasion demands. The peo-
pie will not again submit to any such
outrage as that perpetrated in 1873 and
continued for seventeen years.-Kansas

Jerry Simpson and j. r. Hallowell,
the alliance and republican candidates
for congress in the Seventh district
were in Larned, Monday. A challenge
was issued for joint debate by the
friends of Simpson, which was accepted
by Hallowell. The meeting took place
in the opera house that night. Slmp-
son opened the debate with the alliance
platform for his subject, and he showed
up the national banking system in its
true light, as also the rule of the cor
porations that have been able to be-
come SO powerful in the last few years.
Hallowell also made strong argument
against Simpsons conclusions. Both
the speakers were applauded time and
again by the large audience, but most
of the listeners were IN sympathy with
Simpson. Tribune.

politics by all means! Government is
the perquisite of the professional po-
litician and their newspaper organs.
Nevertheless, we advise Mr.. Politician
to keep his hands of this farmers
movement, whether himself a republi-
can or democrat. Farmers have got
tired of the before-election promises,
and propose to have little stronger
hand in government. Taxation with
out representation has gone quite far
enough The present movement may
be, and doubtless is, weak in many
points. Every great movement has its
weaknesses. But the signs of the times
indicate that this is only part OF
mighty social rsyolution that is going
on quietly among us, the outcome oi
which shall be the downfall of the polit-
co-manufacturing aristocracy with
which we are now blessed.

Tho Future of Art In America.

It is the fashion to believe that art
cannot thrive in our trading democracy,
says Robert s. Peabody, in Harper's
Magazine. Our cultured society speak
of art with solemnity and awe, as men
speak of one that has fought the good
fight, and who rests from his 1abors.
Indeed, we have lately been told by q
professor of great distinction that there
is no hope here for real literature or
art, so hopelessly vulgar and sordid is
American life. Surely those burghers
of medieval Paris knew nothing Of
culture. and doubtless they were vul-
gar, but they thoroughly believed in
their religion, and their vulgarity did
not prevent their originating the
Gothic cathedrals.
Doubtless those Florentine traders
were mercenary, but they loved their
city with fervor, and gladly gave their
wealth to build it's public monuments.
Neither Frenchman nor Florentine had
art critics to tell him his motives, but
they applied to their everyday work
vigor, courage, and energy, and, with
out their knowing it, their work i'm
mOrtallZed them.
Now, why should we not believe in
our own possibilities? We have doubt
less seen q great deal of ostentation
and vulgarity built into more or less
permanent form, and doubtless we are
very far from having produced great
works of architecture. Our distance
from the great works of antiquity has
always permitted here freedom from
authority in art which, if it frequently
leads us into license, presents to us at
the same time our unique opportunity.
In the best work, influenced as it is
by the books and photographs which
now familiarize US with all that the
world has done before US, there is even
now to be seen a reasonable restraint
controlling this liberty. As our ma
tional wants are new, and inventions
daily increase which revolutionize the
art of construction, it seems to me
that the problems will daily be solved
in better manner. and we may hope
for period of building that will en-
phasize our good, rather than our bad,
points. Why should We not, in looking
at such examples as have quoted, in
sist that there is far from being any
thing in the existing conditions Of
American life to hinder the progress of
art? Evidences of the reverse exist on
every side. While dilettantism may
discourage, for myself I have enthu-
siasm enough left to believe that the
hope of the future in art, as in many
| other fields of human endeavor, lies,
as the years go on, with our ambitious,
prosperous, and appreciative democ.
