PRESERVATION OF FORESTS

A prop osition is presented to the people
of Pennsylvania in a pamphlet issued by
the Pennsylvania Forestry Association
which is of such value and pertinence as
to command attention. 1t was, we are in
formed by private letter, suggested by
some remarks in these columns on the
good work that might be done by an in.
telligent policy of preserving the mountain
forests of this State. The writer, Prof. J.
T. Rothrock, in forcible manner points
out the first public step toward that i'm
portant goal.
The importance of this subject is to be
are, according to this statement, over a
million and quarter acres of forest land
too barren and ragged in its character to
be cultivated. We should regard this as
an understatement; but it is certain that
there is as much more that has been de-
nuded, and is now abandoned to under
growth and barreBness. The work of
adding to the latter total is going on. In
the numbering districts the hills are
stripped of the forests by the square mile
each year; and the land is left in barren
wastes.
1t is beyond question that wealth would
be laid up for future generations and the
condition of the present materially en-
HANGED if the destruction of the forests
were confined to the cutting of mature
trees, ard the denuded tracts planted
anew with the valuable timber which
threatens to disappear The reason why

A CHARGE OF CORRUPTION.

The report of the Surveyor of Customs
on the corruption of the New York Gus
tom House inspectors is document of
startling frankness. 1t charges the gen.
era prevalence of receiving bribes and
gratuities, large amount of inefficiency,
and concludes with recommending re-
moval on the latter ground owing to the
difficulty of proving the corruption.
This report bears out charges which
have been made in the press at times
heretofore. and which have been whistled
down the wind as the product of mug
vump or partisan malace. This official
report shows that part of the public serv-
ice to he in as bad condition as was ever
alleged from outside forces and is an en-
phatic demonstration of the results of the
spoils policy.
Such a document will require very de-
rided action on the part of the administra-
ton and warns it that something more is
required of its control of the public service
than to use it as machine for the renom-
ination of President Harrison.

WHO WILL PAY?

Concerning the reinstatement of s. V.
White on the New York Stock Exchange,
the Washington Post notes that it was
effected through the action of his credit
ors, 'who simply signed off their claims
and have nothing but his word for it that
they will ever receive a cent" Our CO.
temporary continues thus to enlarge on
this idyllic picture of financial unselfish-
ness:
But his word in this case is as good as a
bond, and they well know that if his life
and health are spared his Indebtedness will
be liquidated dollar for dollar. That he will
ultimately pay not only the New York
creditors, but the Chicago creditors
with whom he effected settlement at fifty
cents on the dollar, everybody is satisfied
who knows the man. That he will be able
to do 1t at no very distant period nobody
doubts who knows his business abilities.
1t is equally certain that the Deacon will
never be caught in another corn corner.
touching belief in the better side of human
nature which this prophecy reveals. But
in the interest of clear understanding of
the springs of action that control the
speculative world, one or two points re-
quire clearing up. In the first place, it
would be a pertinent question whether
the Wall street creditors signed off their
claims when there was any property of
the debtor that would afford more salts.
factory and immediate dividend than a
verbal mortgage on the results of a specu-
lative future. If there was no way of
realizing anything else perhaps it might
be intimated that the best thing they could
do was to take his word that he would pay
them if he could make the money on the
Stock Exchange.
That word being given and accepted, the
more important question to the public
arises: How is he going to make the hun
dreds of thousands required to pay these
debts? The question is important, be-
cause it is tOlerably clear that, if he makes
enough to pay dollar for dollar, which the
esteemed Post accepts as foregone con-
clusion, it will be at the expense of the
public. Our cotemporary vouches for it
that che will never be caught in another
corn corner, which makes pertinent for a
speculative and investing public to in
quire somewhat anxiously, "Who will be
caught?" For although corn corners be
eschewed by the speculative Deacon, hav-
ing burned his fingers once, it is the fair
deduction from his previous history that if
he makes the hundreds of thousands that
are presaged for him it win be by those
speculative deals and manipulations in
which the money of others is transferred
to the bank account of the manipulation.
The millions which s. V. White lost in
the corn deal were not made by those legit-
innate commercial transactions in which
both parties are the gamers. 1t was made
by speculative gambles in which every
cent of his gain was the loss of some one
else; and the greater part of it was made by
manipulatons of Delaware, Lackawanna

this is not done is simply that the taxes on
timber lands stimulate owners to realize
on the entire timber product at once and
should plant barrenimountain tract with
pine and hemlock he would have to pay
several times the value.of the product in
taxes, before he could realize it. Prof.
Rothrock points out that if the State
should relieve him of taxes on the timber
land, he would be able to thus lay up q
source of income to his children or grand
children, while the State would be the
gamer not only by devotlng barren land to
useful purpose, but by the preservation
of the kindly influence of the forests on
the climate, the soil, the flow of our
streams, the retention of floods, and the
distribution of the outflow through the
summer months
In making this suggestion Prof. Roth
rock does not propose either to stop the
cutting of timber altogether or to let that
business escape taxation. Forestry
regards the failure to cut mature trees and
make proper use of them as waste second
only to the improvidence of destroying all

on land which is fit for nothing else. As
to taxation it is evident that where the in
terest of the State Is to have the forests
preserved, the true method of taxation is
that which this pamphlet urges-tO relieve
the timber land from taxation so long as it
remains undisturbed and to tax the lumber
product when it is cut. In other words,
the policy outlined is to tax not the lands,
but the income from them, the States
benefit being in the line of encouraging
owners to leave their forests as they are
now.
The policy, or its equivalent, is clearly
the first step which the State must take in
an intelligent policy of preserving the re-
naming forests. of the State. Possibly
some constitutional difficulty might be ap-
pretended in the direct application of the
proposition, although an equal provision
for all timber lands seems to meet the con-
stitutional requirement. But there is no
doubt that the State can, if it chooses, en-
courage forestry by bounties equal to the
taxes on all lands kept covered with grow
ing timber.

WATCH THE WATCH DOG.

Quis custodes custodiets-is an old pro-
verb, but modern examples Of its applica-
bility are constantly appearing. That a
new chance for a sermon from that text
should present itself is not strange, but
that Hon. W. s. Holman, the watch dog
of the Treasury, should be mixed up in it,
causes our especial wonder.
All our readers know that we approve
of Mr.. Holman in the character of watch
dog The need of watch dog for the
Treasury in prominent place in Congress
was amply demonstrated in the Billion
Dollar Congress. During the existence OF
that remarkable body the Democratic Ger
berus was muzzled and tied up and the
surplus took wings to itself with celebrity
heretofore unequaled in the history of ma
tions. 1t was of good omen therefore
when we heard that Mr.. Holman had re-
sumed the Watchdog business at the old
stand. But the hopeful promise is sadly
marred when we learn that the watch dog
requires watching.
A bill has recently been introduced in
the House which while not unprecedented
reveals an intention to pursue the pro-
cesses of the Billion Dollar Congress to
the extent of converting the surplus into
large negative quantity. 1t provides a
pension of SS SO per month Cor 500 year)
to every non-commissioned officer, private
soldier, sailor, artifcer, musician, wagner
and all soldiers mustered into the military
and marine service of the United States
who faithfully served between April IL,
1861, and May 9, 1865
This, if we properly understand the
summary, is service pension. 1t will in
crease the total pension payments of the
United States to somewhere in the neigh
borhood of 500, ,OOO, 900 annually And
the sponsor of the bill is the Hon. William
S. Holman, of Indiana.
Therefore it is that the public is warned
not to put its trust in watchdogs any more
than in princes or politicians. The old
proverb has modern and mournful sig
nifcance when the Treasury has to be
guarded from the raids of Holman.

PRACTICE vs.. THEORIES.

1t is interesting to note that the seniors
of Yale College have organized military
company and are being instructed in the
tactics of war by Lieutenant Prof. A. L.
Totten. Lieutenant Totten is famous for
his deductions from astrology and Scrip
ture either that the world is coming to an
end or that the millennium is at hand. We
are not quite confident which is indicated
by his vaticinations, but it is evident that
in either case military training should be
quite unnecessary.
Lieutenant Totten is not the first man
who has been compelled in actual practice
70 disregard his theories; so that we can
overlook the irreconcilable conflict be-
tween his instruction of this company and
bis mixture of astrological and Biblical
calculations and take the latter for what
it is worth-which is very little. 1t is per-
tinent to note also, that the organization
of this military class, reduces to about the
same level of value, the profound asser-
tions of our admiring eastern cotemporar-
les that the game of football, in which
Yale is so prominent affords complete
training in the art of war.

CITY INTERESTS.

The most encouraging feature of the
discussion on taxes and assessments now
going on is that 1t reaches in several direc-
tions well down to the roots of the subject.
One of the early consequences must be to
secure change in the system OF assessing.
The plan outlined in THE DISPATCH OF
taking rental values as basis for all busl-
ness and residence property has met with
favor in every direction, as affOrding
sure, uniform and equitable basis whereby
the great bulk of city property would be as
sessed upon its earning capacity. SO
much for one reform that is bound to
come.
Another result of the exhibit of valua-
tions which cannot be lost sight of is to
show the immense real estate interests of
the city, and how their magnitude should
impress the owners with the Importance
of taking constant, not merely spas
modic concern, in the affairs of govern
ment, including the quality of its various
services and the expense. These values,
which show up even at the owners figures
at more than 5000, ,OOO, 900, are wholly de-
pendent upon the future of Pittsburg as
business center. How essential it is that
enterprises facilitating business be planned
and fostered, becomes at once apparent.
Nor is it merely to City Hall administra-
ton that this applies We have seen the
owners of this 5000, 900, 600 of real estate,
as class, sit silent and with hands folded
when snch vital questions as new railroad
and canal connections were broached for
Pittsburg, as if they were really in no wise
concerned Is there any other interest OF
equal magnitude in the United States
which has no organization; whose repre-
sentatives do not take counsel together to
improve its prospects; among whom there
is positively no cooperation for mutual
protection or for benefit? Is it not time
now for those who have so much at stake
in the city to come together in permanent
organization, both to protect and advance
their interests?
Still further benefit from the discus
sion is the enlightenment of other classes
beside the property owners upon their
share in the city. Undoubtedly it is the
wage-earner who in the end pays the bulk
of the taxes; and he even more than the
real estate owner is interested in seeing
that the best results are got from the
money paid. As this. grows upon him he
will understand that he has much more at
stake than the trifling poll-tax, which he
pays in order to vote, and that his vote is
not privilege to remain unused or to be
thrown away in compliment, but some
thing he pays for handsomely and to be
cast to his own best advantage for intelli-
gent and capable men in Councils.
The immediate result of the present
agitation will doubtless be a sharp revision
and pairing down of the years estimates
as submitted from the Chiefs; and also
more intelligent and general interest in
the city elections than for years. But it
will be great thing for the city if the in
terest does not stop at that. 1t is not
merely obstructive criticism which is
needed, but, as well, constructive ideas
and plans for furthering the interests of
the place.

SENATOR PERKINS, of Kansas, having
proposed that we should return to Mexico
the battle flags taken in the Mexican war
arouses the Philadelphia Times to ask why,
and to declare that the retention of the flags
is not an attestation of anti-Mexican feeling.
Certainly not, and while the esteemed Times
thinks that this is quite another question
from the restoration of flags taken in the
civil war,it is rather puzzling to see how the
retention of the latter could be considered
any more justly, to display an anti-Southern
feeling. The keeping of captured flags
simply preserves the mementoes OF the
heroism of the soldiers who captured them;
and there is no reason why the heroism of
the soldiers who fought for the Union should
not be remembered as warmly as the gal
lantry OF those who participated in war Of
conquest
