PLANTING FORESTS,

1t is pleasant to hear that there are
property-owners in the State who look far
enough into the future to provide for re-
pairing the destruction by the wholesale
denudation of forests. The complete
stripping of the lumber in the coal regions
induced the trustees of the Girard estate
to'plant considerable amount of larches
and Scotch pines. The larches are now
reported to be very thriving, having
attained height of II or IS feet.
In this case the prospective benefit of
very easily done work becomes apparent.
Within the life of men now fully matured
these trees will furnish valuable timber
supply in region which would be
otherwise without timber. In the
interval they will improve land
which would be worthless except for
this purpose During all that time they

AN UNCOMFORTABLE EXPOSURE.

The last outbreak of discriminating tes-
Emony in the Borden case is startling
exhibition of the status of some profess
s'onal detectives. The statements pub
lished by the Boston Globe on their face
were fearfully damaging to the young
woman now under charge of parricide.
But it required less than day to show
that the alleged testimony was made out
of whole cloth. The victimized paper
makes haste to state that the assertions
are proved to be untrue, and that they
were sold to it by one of the detectives in
the case.
A detective who furnishes for monetary
considerations false assertions against a
prisoner in jeopardy of her life is pecu-
liarly unpleasant class of animal. In this
case the alleged evidence was so promptly
disproved that its publication could do Liz
zie Borden no harm. That specimen
of the conservators of law and de-
tectors of crime seemed to have no
object except to get some money out
of a newspaper by fraud. But the
reflection that men who do that sort of
thing are able to fix on person whom
they presume to be guilty of a horrible
crime, for no better reason than that they
can find no one else, and secure her in
generation on the most shadowy evidence
Is not pleasant one to those who believe
that the execution of the criminal laws
should be really synonymous with the
term of justice.
Men who are permitted to exercise the
peculiar powers of detectives should be
above suspicion When they engage in
the production of manufactured evidence
there is urgent need for sharp example.

pITTsBURG. WEDNESDAY. OCT. L.. 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
THE TRIAL ToRE COMPLETE.

The action of the Grand Jury yesterday
In impartially returning bills against all
the parties concerned in the Homestead
riots, shows that all the phases of that con-
flict will be fully investigated by the
machinery of the law. The finding of in
dictments against the Homestead men for
treason, as we'll as on the other charges,
and against the officials of the Carnegie
Company, for murder, riot and conspiracy,
is sufficient answer to intimations that
have been heard to the effect that the acts
of only one side were to be brought before
the Court
The public do not know what evidence
was presented to the Grand Jury on either
side. 1t is permissible to presume that,
acting under oath and with the instruc-
tions of two Courts, they received sufficient
evidence in all the cases to convince them
of the necessity of a full trial. 1t is
probable that the indictment of the Car
negie officials turns on the question of
the right of persons or corporations to
recover possession of their property by
armed force. The need of strict defni-
tion of the limitations in this respect has
long been evident, and it seems that these
cases will afford it. The importance of
fully trying all the aspects of the tragic
conflict is so clear that the return of the
indictments is to be welcomed as promis-
ing complete hearing. 1t may be pre-
sumed that the indictments were not i'm
properly found, without prejudging the ul-
innate results of the trial If any of the
indictments have been returned on INSULT
cient evidence the trial will be sure to
bring that out
The whole matter being thus before the
Courts, it is not the function of the public
toprejudge any of the cases. 1t is proper
to express the hope that the trials will
enforce the duty of all people, rich or
poor, corporations or private persons, en-
ployers or employed, to keep their acts
strictly within the spirit as well as the
letter of the law.

Hard Words and Contrary Orders Between

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 1l.-At n meeting OF tho
Board of Health to-day the steamer Genloiz
from Hamburg, laden with beet sugar and
general merchandise, was ordered back to
quarantine, whence she had been released
by the Lazaretto authorities. The latter's
action was denounced by President Ford rs

THE MINER LAW AGAIN.

The United States Supreme Court
yesterday began its consideration of the
constitutionality of the Miner law, which
provides for the election of Presidential
electors by districts in Michigan. Whether
the Supreme, Court has jurisdiction in this
case remains to be decided by that body
as preliminary to its decision on the
question of constitutionality. THE DIS
PATCH has heretofore held the opinion
that the legality of this apporionment is
unQuestionable, since the Constitution
orders simply that each State shall ap
point, in such manner as the Legislature
thereof may direct, a number of electors, !"
etc. And it seems impossible that Section
1, of Article XIV.-m saying that "No
State shall make or enforce any
law which shall abrldge the privi-
leges or immunities of citiZe IS of
the United States''-can be construed as
in any way forbidding such law as the
one under discussion, which in no way
discriminates against any citizen as an in
dividual cor on account of race" But
the whole matter may most safely be left
to the decision Of the Supreme Court.
Attorney General Miller employed in his
private and unofficial capacity as counsel
for the members of the Republican party,
who are the appellants in the case, made
use of strong and bipartisan language on
the evils of unfair appointments, which
do him credit as an honest citizen and
Government official in high standing.
The political result of the decision is ex-
tremely important, and the Supreme Court
may be implicitly relied upon 10 reach its
conclusions by purely legal and unbiased
consideration of the matter.

SOUTH DAKOTA IN A FIX.
The Australian Ballot Law There Gives
Promise of Making Much Trouble.

PIERRE, S. Oak. Oct. 1L-Considerabl
anxiety IS felt in regard to the ballo ts to be
printed under the new Australian voting
system. While the State will require less
than 500, 900 ballots, the trouble will be to
print them i'll the allotted time. TIE law
says that they shall be printed in the State,
and there are only nine days for the print
ers 70 work on thcm.
There are but few fast presses in the State
and the ballots are SO large that they can be
printed only on large presses. Then again
there is a shortage i'll the paper supply. One
firru in this city has enough to print halt Il
million ballots, and it looks as though they
were going to force the State to come to
terms. Telegrams have been sent all over
the State to find out the supply, which re-
veals the TACT that thele are no Quant titles
except ut Pierre.

The method by which the Democratic
mind is wont to extract comfort from the
situation is edifying in its illustration of
the perseverance of the sanguine. 1t
might be considered by some people dis
couraging that the candidate has been
forced to get away from the platform, and
disavow the authoritative principles of the
party in the middle of the campaign. But
that is a trifle to the enthusiastic Demo-
cratic mind which is able to carry out the
old principle Of John G. Thompson, of
Ohio, to claim everything with confidence.
Peruse the following assurance of safety
which our Democratic friends have just
received from General Joseph E. John
stOn at Birmingham, Alabama: eff the
State elections go as we expect" writes
General Johnston, "the Republicans will
lose all hope of any break in the Solid
South. This assurance that the founda-
ton will not slide out from under the
Democratic structure is made doubiy sure:
81 have no apprehension now about Ala
bama.'
The fact that the South is safe and that
the Democrats have passed the period of
doubt about Alabama, makes the Demo-
cratic heart leap for joy with much the
same feeling of exultation as that ex-
pressed by the young physician who, hav-
ing lost both mother and child, was hope
full of saving the old man. We can under
stand that the Democrats might regard it
as ominous if any part of the solid South
should get away, or if Alabama had to be
ranked as a doubtful State. That the
Democracy has beendelivered from dis
aster is tidings in which the Republicans
can join in felicitating their opponents.
General Johnston's intelligence signifies
that the Republicans must carry the cleo
ton elsewhere than IN the solid South.
But as that has been the case for the past
twenty years, the news is hardly likely to
create panic in the Republican camp.
