THE American Forestry Association
Is proving that it is not merely an or
namental Society, but that il was or
ganized for service An urgent memo ial
has been addressed TO Congress, asking
that something lie done ut once to pre-
serve the forests Of the public domain.
The fact is well known that many mil
lion dollars worth of timber is destroyed
by ugv and stolen by thieves each year,
the estimate being that an annual loss
Of SIC, 100000 is sustained in this way.
No attention, worthy Of this imp srtant
matter, has been paid to It. and Con-
gress should promptly take such action
as IS necessary to preserve the forests

NEW ORLEANS, though prohib ting
prize fights, has determined to permit
glove contests under the management Of
regularly organized and chartered ath-
Irt.c clubs. No great harm would fol-
low this amendment TO the law if it
could be carriel out in its proper spirit,
but when glove contests ere permitted
in respectable clubs, others not so re-
spectable viii be formed to evade the
law, the gloves VIII be dImi ished In
size, and ultimately prize fighting will
be restored, minus the name.

NEW YoER's State Commission in
lunacy comes out strongly in opposition
10 county care for the insane. and in
favor Of state Institutions a quarter
Of century ago county houses were
advocated, on theoretical ground :,
chiefly because It was thought to be an
advantage to put the patient in the
country, and not to gathcra large num-
Der in a single Institution. The eIper-
renee Of 20 years, however, is VIII Ily in
favor Of State institutions; indeed, the
patients in county houses are very likely
% be made worse by carelessness, neg
lect or ignorant treatment; while large
State institutions can afford to employ
tie highest talent for the care OF
insane patients.

THE ALASKA CEMETERY.
What Col. Keatlcy Has Done for the Reclamation
OF Soldiers Graves.

OF Soldiers Graves.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Since my re-
turn from Alaska, where ] spent nearly two
years in tho discharge of the duties of United
States District and Circuit Judge, | have re-
ceiyed number of letters from old comrades
inquiring whether any care has been taken of
the graves of such soldiers rs died in that far
of country during the occupation of Alaska by
our troops from 1867 to 1879.
This letter may answer any contemplated
future inquiry in the same direction. When
went to Sitka, in 1888, found little neglected
cemetery about half mile northeast of the
town, on little hilock surrounded by a swamp,
and partially sheltered by a clump of stuuted
hemlocks. The fence put there years ago was
all broken down, the graves wero all sunl5en
and neglected, and covered with tall grass
and brambles, the wooden head boards very
nearly gone, and it was almost impossible to
identify them.
Officers of the Navy had been stationed at
Sitka for eight or nine years, but nothing had
been done TO rescue the memory of some of the
brave men who had been with Farragut in the
Hartford at New Orleans from impending
oblivion. Among those whose remains are
resting in this far-oH little cemetery under the
shadow of Mt. Verstovia, are Maj. Morris. of
New York, and Lieut. LivermoTe, of tho 4th
u. s. Art.
No marble head and foot.stones had ever
been provided for the II graves of Union soldiers
and sailors there. made an application to
the QuarteImaster.Genoral of tho Army for
such stores, and the communication was referred
to Col. Batchelder, Deputy Quartermaster- Gen.
eral, u. s. A., and after lapse of some months
he was kind enough to furnish beautiful marble
head and foot-stOnes for each of the graves, each
maidstone properly inscribed with tho name
and rank of the dead soldier or sailor. The
stones were consigned to me a few weeks before
my return home, and received at season in
that climate which prevented their being
properly placed at that time. l am assured by
Gov. Knapp, who was a gallant Vermont
soldier and Lieutenant Commander Faronholt
of the Pinta, who was also i'll the naval service
during tho war, that the stones will soon be
put in proper place, and with the aid of the
marine guard on that station all the graves
will be properly cared for.-JNo. II. KEATLEY,
Sioux City, Iowa.

Trouble over a Gettysburg Monument site.

The Nth n. Y. and 18th ~ j. Regimental
Associations are in collision over the location of
the formers monuments in Hancock avenue
Gettysburg. The New York regiment had
located their place on a line near the New
Jersey monument. This advanced location
was contested by the Jersey regiment, and
letters aud kilograms from the Governor and
prominent military people of the State have
been pouring in on the Battlefield Association
for tho last few days, protesting against the
erection OF tho monument on the site chosen.
Col. Ii. Il. Chew, of Camden, representing the
New Jersey Rcgimental Association, was in
consultation last evening with tho Association,
and work was ordered stopped the monu-
mcnt. Ii is thought that an amicable arrange
ment can be reached, so that the controversy
will be kept out OF the courts. The New York
Monument Commission will hold meeting
early next week, aud q compromise will likely
be agreed upon.

Biz Pension Claims for Iowa soldiers.

G. III. Brock, member of the Sth Iowa Cav,
of MarshalltOwn, Iowa, in rummaging through
old records OF Marshall County, discOsered
among the proceedings Of the Board Of Super
visOrs in 1868 that on Dec. Of that year is
passed a resolution granting 20 every man who
should enlist after that date $3.50. la the jan
uary following the Board passed another reso-
luton granting bounty to all who had enlisted
before or should enlist after that date due in
$50 annual payments, with six per cent. in
terest on the unpaid amounts. Brock ac-
eordingly Aled a claim for SIPS, as he had re-
eeived $50 when he enlisted, and the accrued
compound interest for over q years, amounts
ing to over 5000. He further discovered that
it would take over 500 600 90 pay the claims to
which soldiers enlisting from that County ara
entitled. The only thing which can prevent
the collection of these claims is the statute OF
Limitations, which it is said does not apply to
debts of Government to its defenders.
