The committee of the Pennsylvania
forestry association are sending TO mem
bers OF the association and others q cir
cular letter, in which it is urged that
everyone use their influence in securing
the passage of q bill now pending, by
which, If once It is made law, forests
may be preserved from wanton destruo-
ton.
The bill provides for the withdrawal OF
all unsurveyed public lands embracing
forests and such lands as ere more valu-
able for timber than for agricultural
purposes from survey, sale, entry or dis
posal under existing laws. That these
lands remain intact except for the actual
needs of persons carrying out this act.
Il further provides that the president

THE Lee monument association are
sending TO the different papers OF the
South request that they notify through
their columns Confederate veterans, in
dividually or organized, of the invitation
to attend the unwilling of the Lee monu-
ment May %, 1890. THE GAZETTE re-
spends most cheerfully to this request,
and urges all who can possibly do so to
be present on this occasion The R. f.

by request, have assumed the charge of
conducting. the exercises, and Capt.
Thomas Elicit, secretary, No. % North

any information that may be desired.
Railroad rates will probably be
granted, and there is ample facilities for
camping, and active preparations are
going forward for the comfort of the
visitors. Already some companies in
Texas have announced their intention of
being present and assisting in paying
honor te the great captain whose
fortunes they shared. 1t is to be hoped
that q large delegation from this state

SHOULD the attorneys of Dick Duncan ,
who is convicted of the murder of the
Williamson family, succeed in establish
ing bv decision of the Federal court that
Texas has no legal penal code and code
of criminal procedure, and that there
fore there can be no legal conviction of
criminals, there will be stir in legal
circles. There are many now in
felons' cells that will with the same
plea demand their freedom. 1t seems
hardly credible that a code of laws hav-
ing successfully passed trial since 1876,
should be so faulty, but that Judge
Pardee of New Orleans should have
deemed the plea important enough to
order a hearing and that Gen. Roger
Pryor is willing to be the attorney for
Duncan, gives a show of plausibility to
the claim of illegality.

a YAM AnRITION-

John Sherman's political ambition is
of an exceedingly tenacious kind. Three
times has he gone into the national Re-
publican convention strong and hope
full aspirant for the first place on the
presidential ticket of his party, and
three times has he seen the prize go to
another through the treaohery, deceit
and desertion of those whom he believed
were his friends. One would suppose he
had enough of defeat and discontinue,
but such is not the case, since it is an
nounced that he intends being a candi-
date for the nomination in 1892. If he
is really in earnest about it, he is GER
tainly exhibiting staying qualities, much
more to be admired than either his judg-
ment or discretion. He Is now sixty
seven years Of age, and as he has grown
influence in the councils of his party,
and his power as a party leader have
weakened. His star is no longer in the
ascendency. It began 10 wane when
they mopped up the floor of the
convention hall with him in Chicago,
and, though he either will not or cannot
admit it, the hour when it will "flicker
to extinction" is rapidly approaching.
1t is hard for him to acknowledge that he
is back number, but he has only to go
into the next convention to have the cold
and cruel truth impressed upon him in
manner as convincing as it will be un-

along the road whether they will have
good highways; il it was, we would need
no law, and the matter could be left to
individual taste or energy, whether they
would stay in or get out of the mud. 1t is
concern of the .entite people. Bad roads
affect the entire state, damage its pros
perity, detract from its values and re-
tard its growth. 1t is q matter in which
the state has the right TO interfere, and
should interfere in such manner as to
force an even, symmetrical and equal
advance by all sections. A patchwo york
of roads over the state would be an ex-
tended edition of patchwork in a county.
Both evil.
The question now is general road law
that will secure such concerted action
over the state; leave to the counties the
discretion in what TO use for max
ing roads and expenditures, subject only
to the requirement that they shall have
good, sufficient and passable roads.
What we should be discussing is such
law, not the plans and specifications for
the road. Material which would be most
economical and feasible in one county
would not even be available IN another.
Leave that to the local authorities, but
demand roads of them.
What sort of law do we want to accom-
plish this end? That is the matter to be
discussed.

Mr.. d. A. DICKERT, correspondent to
the Atlanta Constitution, relates touch
ing incident connected with q nameless
grave in the vicinity of NewberrY, S. Q.
Immediately after the close of the war
negro regiment belonging to Sherman IS
command was quartered there for the
purpose of disbandment. One night q
drunken crowd of negro soldiers entered
an incoming train and offered every in
dignity to two lady passengers. One
of these in struggling to release herself
from her tormentor cried out, "MY God,
have 1 no friend, will no one protect
me?n Instantly from the rear end of
the car a tall unknown Texan came
rapidly and plunged knife N the breast
of the brute, then quietly slipped into the
darkness. An Infatuated mob soon gath
cred, an innocent man was seized despite
his protests and would have soon been
victim, when the Texan again stepped
forth and declared himself the slayer.
He was seized by the soldiers. by drum
courtmartial it was decided that he
must dig his own grave and be shot. He
was led to the spot, now the site of the
cotton mills, and there after digging 8
shallow grave he stood in it, folded his
arms and said: 81 am ready" He
fell into the grave dead, but left behind
him the noble record that the sons of
Texas are ready at moments call to go
to the defense Of helpless unknown
women and to die if need be for their
sakes.
