1t Is Seeking.
The Quest is new Prohibition paper
published in Wheeling, w. Va. It's sal
utatory is 80 good that we clip the fol-
lowing therefrom. After explaining that
it's name indicates that, like DiOgenes, it
seeks an honest party and honest reforms,
it goes on:
But what reforms are you in search of
you ask. Is there nothing but the saloon
question: Yes, the country is full OF
other questions, and we propose to give
them all place in the columns of The
Quest. A few days since ten members
Of the Massachusetts legislature were &C
cused of relieving ten thousand dollar
bride each for voting for railroad bill;
a great many of the United States sen
ators of both old parties are accused OF
buying their seats in congress; both old
parties buy their way into office at all
elections. We propose to discuss tins
great question of political corruption.
1t is said that the negro is greatly OPP
pressed in the south; we propose to dis
cuss the race question.
Grasping monopolies and trusts are
grinding down the people; we propose to
discuss this question.
The laboring men have their great
wrongs; they will be considered in our
columns.
The farmers alliances indicate radi-
cal wrongs; we will have something to
say about these.
The Sabbath is desecrated all over the
Union. We will surely talk about this.
The question of immigration and all
other reforms will attract our attention.
We will not slight even the tariff ques-
ton.
Sixty Thousand human souls go to
drunkard's hell every year and round
billion of the hardest earned dollars OF
the nations money are far worse than
wasted during the same time, while
Christian nation quietly sits by and sees
this destruction going on. 1t sees this
deadly evil tightening day by day upon
the body Of the nation; it hears the vast
sob of ruined souls, the cry OF broken
hearted women and the feeble wall OF
crushed childhood; it knows the curse OF
an all powerful, avenging God has pro-
claimed that the nation rs well as the
soul that sinneth shall die. AstOund-
ing fact! Surely the better nature OF
this great, intelligent nation will soon
awake to the fearful responsibilities at
tached to this state OF things.

A One Sided Boom.

One of the singular features of the
Texas boom so far is that it is principally
confined to city property. What would
do more permanent good would be the
settlement of the millions of idle fertile
lands with thrifty tillers. The towns
already, in most cases, are ahead
of the surrounding country, and will
have to take rest, sooner or later, till
the wealth producing elements are fur
Their advanced. A permanent Texas boom
can only be maintained by bringing IN
wealth producers Live Stock

tell the board, "that you are our serv-

If the farmers will take a glance in
the direction of congress it is not unlike
ly that they will find the culprit they
are after. To curse the supreme court
is foolish and can do no possible good.
But few stout explosives leveled at
congress might do no harm. At all
events, they would show that the farm
ers were at last beginning to understand
the source Of their troubles. - Chicago

is also carried on to n great extent
in the neighborhood, and, rs Is usual where
forest and mountain regions are occupied
for industries OF any sort, woods are fired
by accident or design, and thus enormous
waste is caused. This diminution In the
forest around the Yosemite Valley must
sooner or later lessen the quantity of water
in the streams and in tho magnificent falls
for which tho valley is renowned.
The bill introduced into tho House adds to
tho park tho land not disposed of within
certain specified limits, and declares that
"the same is hereby reserved and set apart
| for the purpose of preserving the forest aud
MS recreation ground for the people as n
public park" The second section Of the bill
provides that said national park shall DO
under the exclusive control Of the Secretary
Of the Interior" who is to make, as soon as
practicable. rules for It's proper care and
management.
These provisions are to be precisely like
those which have been made for the govern
ment of tho Yellowstone National Pork.
There, also. the necessity for providing ac-
commodations for visitors Is recognized,
and authority for this purpose is vested In
the Secretary Of the Interior. The proceeds
of the leases help to Offset the cost OF taking
care OF the park. In tho case OF the Hot
Springs Reservation, the receipts, although
much less than they ought to be and proba-
bly, soon will be- are greater than the expense
of maintenance, and will allow some perma-
nent improvements Of the mountain areas.
The inability of tho Territory Of Wyoming
properly to govern the Yellowstone Reser-
yntion was made manifest In its attempt to
bring the reservation under its own laws.
Communications which have been made to
the Committee on Public Lands indicate
that changes will be made in the limits of
the Yosemite National Park, rs proposed
under the pending measure. Suggestions
have been offered for further enlarging tho
so as to take in all that will ma |
terially aid in the preservation Of this Won
derful region of the Sierra Nevada. The |

Of mountain and forest and caflon and

encrOachments are threatening to

park as well as to oblterate features only

Let Us Have Yosemite National Park

The bill which has been introduced into
Congress to enlarge tho reservation in the
Yosemite Valley and to establish it hence
forth as public pleasure ground under the
name OF the Yosemite National Park, de-
serves careful consideration.
The present measure contemplates doing
what ought to have been done twenty-five
years ago. At that time Congress set apart
tract in the Yosemite Valley by grant to
the State OF California for public USES The
double error then committed was in making
the reservation too small and in putting it
III charge of a State, instead OF preserving it
under national control like Yellowstone
Park and the Hot Springs Reservation. The
error In failing to retain the Yosemite under
national control is attcsted by faults in
management, due, doubtless, for the most
part, to carelcssncss or ignorance. 1t is
usually only after a costly experience that
community learns that the highest knowl-
edge and skill arc required for the adequate
superintendent and caro- OF public parks,
especially Of those to which nature has
been prOdigal in her bounty The Commits
Sioners who have had charge of tho YO-
semitic Reservation have given their services
without charge, and have taken pains to pro-
vdc accommodations for sight5ccrs. Their
sense OF obligation in that rcsncct is no
doubt adequate, but it concerns an entirely
different matter from the caro- of the natural
GFowths OF the region, and Of the landscape
features OF the park, which require the
constant professional services of an expert.
AS to the proposed enlargement of the
yosemite grant to an area of about fifty
square miles, ms iudciOusly urged by the
commissioners year ago there is certainly
much To be said In its favor. 1t practically
aims bN preserving the surroundings, to
secure tho present reservation against Il
seriously threatened deterioration. This
injury may result, in tho first place, from
the cutting of forests near the Yosemite
Valley to supply material for the neigh
boring saw mills. The pasturlng OF sheep
