THE FORESTRY LAWS.

The report of the California State Board
OF Forestry fof 1890 has made its appear
ance. and its suggestions are now before the
public. The facts are generally known
Our redwood forests, which have been ac-
curately measured, will last some forty years
more. The tree possesses in remarkable
degree the power OF reproduction, if the new
growths are not attacked by fire, but when
shepherds build fires near the stumps the
sNaiity oil the plant perishes, and as this has

.irs 'ne prospect OF the extinction of the tree

rare. But in some of the Sierra cnnntias
such as Plumas, Lassen and Sierra vast
tracts OF virgin forest have thus far escanad
the lumbermen, and it will take centuries
at the present rate of consumption. To ex.
haust them.
The tree which has occupied most atten-
ton by the board is the eucalyptus which
Tor full generation has been more gener-
ally planted in this State than any other
foreign tree. Some sixty varieties of the
eucalyptus are growing in California, but
% per cent of the trees classed under that
name are the Tasmanian blue gum. This

not the whites OF the Sou'h piacius an

natnrep Is there in fact any natural
raaeon WHY whites and blacks should not
,vort- tooether each in the sphere for which
his onaiifications fit him? Might not the
intelligent classes of the South lead the
black by the influences which in other COM
munities enable the wise to lead the I'M
wise, the strong to lead the weak? In the
black districts of the South the land is
owned mostly by the whites The bust
ness of the country is in the hands OF
the whites. The same race has almost
a monopoly of intelligence and expert
ence in practical affairs. To North
ern man-that is, TO the men who ride
through the South in palace cart
seems as if these advantages should secure
the domination OF the whites SO long as
| their rule was just. The solution these
Northern men offer, therefore, is to be just
to the blacks. to give them their rights, to
protect them in courts and at the polls. and
thus to create the feeling of respect and
reverence with which the lower classes the
world over look up to their intellectual and
! social superiurs. This solution of the race

gum. Success does not seem as yet to have
crowned the effort, but the board perseveres
and appears to be hopeful
The prospects of forestry, generally, in
this State, depend on the more thorough ex-
ecution of the laws which we have, and
upon the enactment OF other laws which the
course of events has rendered necessary.
The great bulk of our timbered lands are
still in the possession of the General Gov
eminent, and under the control of the In
terror Department: that department has Is
sued stringent orders against lighting hres
in the forests; but, as matter OF faet' such
fires are Of constant occurrence, aud no one
has ever been prosecuted for lighting theui.
Every now and then some one is prosecutor

The Board of Forestry renews Its recon-
| mandation that the tImber-entry law snouid
be- suspended, so far as this State Is con-
cerned, until the exact limits OF the various
watersheds which feed our streams are de-
fined. 1t is right and proper that standing
timber. when ripe. should be cut for the use
of the public; but it should not be cut until
it is ready for the ak, nor when 1t is needed
to shade necessary water sources, nor when,
to get at it, tracts of growing timber. too
small for market. have to be tramDled and
destroyed. At the present time the lumber
industry is conducted most wastefully, and
the lumberman converts areas of arabic
land into deserts by depriving them of the
water which is necessary for their fertiliza-
ton.
The board likewise recommends that here
after the Government shall sell the timber
| on its land, and not the land itself. The lat
ter does not fetch more money than the
standing timber would alone. and by re-
serving the land as part of the public do
! main, the Government may. by judicious
regulations, insure the growth of another
| crop in years to come.

CHANGING OPINIONS.

We frequently hear it said that news
paper contemporary in this city-the Cltron-
icle-changes its views in relation to impor-
tant subjects oftentimes very suddenly. For
instance, person at our elbow suggests
that the Chronicle a short time since was in
favor of limiting the passenger rates of fare
upon our street railroads to cents Now,
it is said, the paper is in favor of the old
rates, 5 cents. The Chronicle may change
its views in relation to railroad fares quite
reasonably. When it urged Scent fares
the Legislature was not in session, hence
there could be no action then taken by that
body reducing fares. The paper may have
now good reasons for not urging a reduction
of railroad fares. So in respect to the cleo
ton of United States Senator few
months ago the Chronicle opposed the cleo
ton of Mr.. Stanford, but when the Legisl a.
ture assembled we noticed that the paper
no longer urged Mr.. Stanrord's rejection.
Why could not the Chronicle change its
views? Why could it not have good
reasons for opposing in July or August
what it favored in January? The Chron-
icle is a paper which often changes its
views. We hope the public will not be so
cynical as to censure the Chronicle for
changing its opinions, when it has he most
substantial reasons for so doing.

woMEN FAKAIERs.

Mrs. L. E. Thane of Niles writes 10
Tn. CA1L: There is no possible
r.asou why women cannot become
as expert fruit-growerS as men," Mrs.
Thane proceeds to give examples to sustain
her theory. In Miles," she says, there are
two or three women orchardists, whose sue
cess in their chosen field of labor puts TO
shame some Of their more careless male
neighbors." Assuming that our correspond
ent is correct in her facts and conclusion,
the question occurs why more women do moi
become orchardists? Why do they let men
monopolize so profitable an occupation, Civ
ing women employment at rates OF wages
which barely keep them alive? There are
other things women can do as well as men,
so far as reasons why they should not are
concerned What we know is that as rule
they do not. A male proprietor will be
found in almost every dry-goOds store. mil
liners store, lunch-roOm, candy and ice
cream resort in the city. There does not
seem to be any reason why women should
not stand an even chance with men in these
several lines Of business. There is neither
law nor public opinion 10 prevent a woman
from engaging in any business she may
select. Yet in all kinds of business We find
men managers and women employees. Can
our lady correspondents tell why IT IS so?

WHITES AND BLACKS.

The Rev. Mr.. Hickman of Clark Uni
Versity, Atlanta, Ga, is reported to have
said at the recent anniversary Of the Freed
lien's Aid Society of the Methodist Episeo-
pal. Church that it is worse than folly to try
to yoke whites and blacks together. The
gulf between whites and blacks was too

STREET RAILROADS.

The application Of the cable system of
;-THnning street-cars has added tens of millions
of dollars to the value of city property.
There are streets which could not be climbed
by horses or by any other motive power
than that applied. The residence lots thus
made accessible are so numerous that the
benefit Of the cable system may be said to
have reached the body of the people. Mill
ions have been added to the taxable property
of the city and thousands Of homes have
neeh etacted almost in the heart OF the city.
Ii Is now understood that parties who have
invested largely in cable roads in past years
contemplate combinations in these systems
OF roads with electricity as the motor. The
cable system will be applied to the eastern
half of the city, between Central avenue and
the bay, and the electric motor to the half
between Central avenue and the ocean. No
one expects that the electric motor can take
the place of the cable on the hills or along
routes which include considerable ascent or
descent. but it is believed that electricity
will be the most economical motor for the
comparatively level district between Central
avenue and the ocean. Improvements in
the process OF applying electricity as mo-
tive power have reached that point which
lnsureg ultimate success. There are already
two hundred electric railroads in the United
States, although the system under which
most of them are oDerat ed is not perfect.
That continued experiments will overcome
the slight objections to that power which
may still be Urged is confidently expected.
Under these conditions there does not seem
any real reason for the hesitation of the San
Francisco delegation at Sacramento to So
amend the statutes that electricity NAV be
used as a motor where it will work. That
such legislation is needed is due to the fact
that the statutes are older than the discovery
of processes by which electricity can be
used as a motor. There would have been
no lack of law for its use if the possibility
Of its use had been foreseen. As we have
said, there is no conflict between the cable
and electricity. Each will be used where it
sTnOre seryieeable than the other. None
of the iar-seeing men who have built cable
roads to cover the eastern half of this CITY
would think of standing in the way of the
best motor, be its nature what it NAV. The
best will win in the end, and those WIN ac-
eept it In its early stages Will make the most
profit out Of it. When the Legislature has
given the matter due consideration the nro-
POSED amendment will doubtless be adon+ad
