There Were just Thirty OF Them Before
| Foster Came In.
Secretary Foster is the thirty-tirst oc-
cupant of the office. Seven out of the
thirty who preceded him became presi-
dcnt--Je1ferson, Madison, Monroe, John
Quincy Adams, Van Buren, and Buchan-
an. One, John Marshall, became chief
justice OF the supreme court. Many of
the others were the leaders Of the par
ties who missed the presidency only by
the accidents of politics. AS Mr.. Foster
looks over the list of those who held the
olaee before him he may well congratu-
late himself ,vs the New York Advar-
ti5er, on getting into such listing is.icd
company.
In addition to the great names already
mentioned, look at the others: Edmund
Randolph, Timothy Pickering, Robert
Smith, Henry Clay, Edward Living
ston, Louis McLane, John Forsyth,
Daniel Webster, Hugh Legare, Abel p
upshur, John C. Calhoun, John NJ. Clay
ton, Edward Everett, William NJ Marcy,
Lewis Cass, jeremiah S. Black William
n. Seward, Elihu B. Washburne, Ham
ilton Fish, William NJ. Evarts, f. T.
FraEachuysen, Thomas F. Bayard and
James G. Blaine.
Two of these served at different
times and under different prcsi-
dents-W Webster under William Henry
Harrison and Fillmore, and Blaine
under Garfield and Benjamin Harri-
son. There are now two Secretaries
Foster and two cabinet officers from
one state. For the latter there are
many presidents, but for the former
none, this being the first time that two
men of the same name have ever sat in
d cabinet together.

the celebrated war chief of the nation,

France are adjusted.

king holds forth, have made the entire

And now, having achieved great

will come over bag and baggage-the

NEW AAMPSHiRE'S FOLLY.
How the White Mountain Region Is Being

How the white Mountain Region Is Being
Demanded of Trees.
New Hampshire, says the Manchester
Mirror, has played the FOOLS part in dis
posing of the magnificent stretches of
forest, which but few years ago
clothed and beautiied her northern
mountains and valleys, and were the I'M
failing reservoirs for her streams, the
haunts of her fish and game and the
sanitariums to which people came from
far and near for rest and recreation and
recuperation. Some of them she sold
for song, and others she gave away as
If they were of no value. In one way
and another the title to them had passed
into the hands of others, generally not
residents of the state, who have become
wealthy in trading upon them and turn
ing them over to the lumbermen to be
destroyed.
Not only the timber in the valleys
and upon adjacent slopes has been cut
and carried away, leaving nothing but
repulsive barrenness, but now this is
gone the work of destruction has been
pushed far up the gorge and mountain
sides and into tracts which were sup
posed to be inaccessible and therefore
safe One such tract south of Gorham,
which was nearly worthless five years
ago, has just been sold for ninety-seven
thousand dollars and is fast being
stripped. To another a tramway ten
miles long is being built from Bemis
station in the Crawford notch and the
township of Success is being invaded |
by another starting from Berlin.
Even Dartmouth college, of which |
something besides reckless greed might |
be expected has turned over her SPLEEN
did grants upon the Androscoggin to
the tender mercies of George Van
Dykes Canadians, and the Concord &
Montreal railroad has spent five hun
dred thousand dollars to make it profit
able for somebody to denude the town
of Randolph and the base of Mount
Adams.
Worse than this even are the prepare
tions to extend the railroad from North
Woodstock to the Profile and to build
another up the east branch so that some
can turn the spruce trees
there into money. Within five years at
the present rate the supply of spruce
will be exhausted, and the hard wood
in townships reached by railroads will
not last more than ten or twelve.
When spruce is removed it is followed

every year, as they are, the forests

The case is bad one. What can be
lone about it? To do anything is very
much like locking the stable after the
lorse has been stolen. The Boston
Ierald's remedy is to have the state ex-
rcise its right of eminent domain, and
etalSe the lands which it threw away,
aging their owners of course their
alue. This involves an enormous ex-
enditure, and is, at best, an made
uate remedy, but it is about the only
ne offered. If it is to be applied at all,
o time can be lost. and the next legis-
lture must act The subject is worth

ussion even in the midst of national
