The New York Tribune is a newspaper
to which the people of this country in gen
eral, and especially the Republican party
have always turned, instinctively, in pub
lie emergencies, for calm and courageous
counsels, and brave rallying cry. The
Tribune does not, for a moment, yield the
point on which the presidential campaign
of this year was fought. It believes that
the workingmen of this country have been
deluded to their own hurt, and that they
have struck blindly at the very system un-
der which they are prOspering as no people
have ever prOspered before. During the
year that is to come the Tribune will con-
tinue to eXpound the doctrines of sound
Republicansm in its own strong, outspok-
en- way. Roswell G. Horr will write over his
own signature on the tariff, coinage, the cur
rency, and other political topics of leading
interest. The non-political departments
news, farming, literature, and family read
ing-will be ably maintained. The Trib-
une is conspicuously paper of general in
formation for every intelligent individual
and family, and we take pleasure in calling
special attention to its prospectus elsewhere
printed.

neying away from the halls of legislation
toward Boston or New York. Requiescat
Trying to save the Forests.

The people Of New Hampshire are thor
oughly alarmed at the wholesale and rapid
way in which the forests of the state are
being destroyed, and the wise and thought
full ones are trying to find the best way
to stop the ruin. A meeting to devise
methods, recently held at Concord, was at
tended by men, interested in the general
subject of forest preservation, from all
over New England, and from New York.
The national grange sent a special commit
tee to attend the meeting, and subsequent
ly the state grange expressed their sympa-
thy with the movement. After much de-
bate the meeting resolved to urge on the
next legislature the appointment of a per-
manent forestry commission which shall
obtain statistics about New Hampshire's $
forest lands and devise means for saving
the forests. 1t is also to urge the state to
buy land for public parks, create public
sentiment in favor of forest preservation,
and take control of the cutting of timber.
The destruction of the forests, and with
them of the sources of supply for the
streams of the state, is not only threaten
ed, but with the hills and mountains thus
laid bare, the state will be stripped of its
main attraction for summer visitors, and a
very important source of annual revenue
be thus cut off.
What is true of New Hampshire is true
of Vermont, and yet our late legislature
refused to do even so much as to prevent
the streams of the state from being ruined
by the umbermen's sawdust.

The Laws of 1892.

The Montpelier Waterman has undertaken
commendable enterprise in the publication of the
session laws OF 1892 IN a convenient pocket pam
phlet form. to he sold at a small price The
action Of the legislature in cutting of the publi-
cation Of the laws through the newspapers and
proposing to make $500 copies answer for 100000
people, was a piece Of false economy The
Watchman's publication will, however, enable all
who wish, to see the laws at the earliest possible
date. The pamphlet will be in good type with
covers, and will be sold for IS cents a copy. For
be sale at The Phoenix Office as soon as issued.
Mail orders will be filled and, remittances for that
purpose may be- made at Is cents in stamps or

The exact political complexion of the
next House-the one just elected, and
which will convene in due course in De

Republican Congressional committee at
Washington figures on a Democratic ma
jority of so or S2-that party having 2ls
seats, the Republicans l2S, and the People 5

large majority, but less by at least 30 than
in the present House, which stands, Dem

considerable to say this trip. Still, he developed

Ex-senator Edmunds's Opinion of the
Coal Trust,

The government can legally seize every
pound of coal shipped by the Philadelphia
& Reading Coal company across the state
line of Pennsylvania, if that company is
violating what is known as the Sherman
trust law. If the Philadelphia & Reading,
or any other coal company, has combined
with another company for the purpose of
controlling either the price or the output of
any commodity, it is amenable to the anti
trust law and its product is liable to seiz-
ure, while the principals are liable to ar
rest and imprisonment.

The curious announcement comes that
the control of the next state assembly of
Kansas is to be decided by drawing by lot.
That body now stands, ~ Republicans, 5S
Peoples party, 3 Democrats and Inde-
pendent. The remaining representative is
to be seated by lot, the vote in Coffee
county being a tie. If the Republicans
are successful in the drawing for the seat,
they will have just enough to organize the
house. If they lose, the opposition will
have majority and control both branches
of the legislature, and will also elect a Unit
ed States senator, The legislature meets
the second Tuesday of January.

We have already noted the main change
made in revising the secret ballot law,
namely: that the names of the candidates
of each party are in future to be arranged
in columns by themselves under the party
headings, and the voter may vote straight

in a square placed above his party candi-
dates. If, however, he wishes to vote for
individuals on the different tickets he may
do so by marking against the individual

Penny Wisdom.
From the Montpelier Waterman,

The judiciary committee found, we under
stand, that while il cost the state some Sl4OO TO
publish $500 copies of the laws in book form, it
cost 5000 to publish and distribute 1000 copies
in newspaper form. Therefore, the conclusion
was, the newspapers are bleeding the state; and
so, after having tapped the states jugular and
bed her prOfusely for various Obiects-worthy
and Otherwise-the further effuson of the vital
fluid was stayed by Summarily tying up the little
artery throught which flowed bare sufcency TO
provide for printing and distributing some 100000
copies of the public enactments among the $50,
900 people who are compelled to know what laws
have been made and to obey them. This is one OF
the things of which the legislature has no right 20

names. The other important change is in
allowing a voter who asks for help in mark
ing his ballot to have such help simply on
request, and not by declaring his disability
"under oath" as under the law of 1890.
Changes, which are not of great import
ance, are made in the manner of nominat-
ating candidates, and the length of time
before election when they must be made.
The new law applies, as did the former
one, to the election of officers In annual
town, city or village meetings where the
population is above 1000. In this connec-
tion section 33 of the revised law is inn
portant:
Sec 33. In all annual nr special town, city or
village meetings held for the purpose Of choos-
ing town, city, or village officers in towns
cities or villages having population of over four
thousand. such meeting shall be warned TO meet
at O'Clock in the forenoon, and the polls shall
be opened for the election Of such town city or
village officers at O'Clock In the forenoon, and
the votes for such officers shall be counted at
O'Clock in the afternoon.

The action of the Vermont legislature,
in once more refusing to enact pharmacy
law, gives Vermont the unenviable dis
tinction of being one out of only five
states in the Union which have not such
laws. These states are-besides Vermont
Indiana, Nevada, Tennessee and Mary
land. The latter state hardly belongs in
the "black list" as a portion of it is con-
trolled by the Baltimore law.

The New Law Regulating Court Pro-
ceedings.

Under this law complete revision is
made with regard to proceedings in the
courts. The county supreme court terms
are abolished and in their place three gen
eral terms of the full bench for all coun-
ties are to be held at Montpelier each year.
Special terms may also be held as the
judges may appoint. The terms of coun-
ty court will be held the same as now, but
the method of entering suits and of gener-
al procedure is so changed as to greatly
hasten the time within which cases may be
completed. Instead of waiting for entry
to be made at a term of court, process will
be entered and docketed in the county
clerks office within 21 days from the time
the writ is served. The defendant must
then cause his appearance to be entered
within IA days after the expiration of the
p days. If no appearance is made, iudg-
ment enters at the then pending, or the
next regular term of court; but judgment
may be stricken off on payment of costs.
Bail may be ordered by the court or the
clerk. The law does not take effect until
Dec. /, 1893.

A subcommittee of the Interstate COM
merce committee of the House is conduct
ing a careful investigation, at New Y ork,
into the organization of the Reading COM
bine for the control of the Pennsylvania
coal supply. In this connection it is to be
remembered that ex-senator Edmunds is
quoted as expressing very radical opinions
about the law and the trusts, in recent
interview at Chicago. Mr.. Edmunds be-
lieves the Sherman antitrust law to be
strictly constitutional. If enforced, as it
ought to be, it would break up the trusts,
and under its provisions every pound OF
coal shipped beyond the borders of Penn
sylvania by the Reading combination could
be confscated.

The Rutland Herald devotes a leading
article, column and a-half long, to good
natured comment on the statement of The
Phoenix about Gov. Fullers veto of the
Ludlow savings bank bill, and the action
of the legislature thereon. The main
point of the Herald seems to be that the
whole matter didn't amount to anything
anyway. 1t is worth repeating, as a mat
ter of authentic record, that the senate bill
to enact a general law, forbidding trust
companies to issue general letters of cred
it, failed to be reported to the house, and
so of passage, because, when wanted, it
was calmly reposing in the inside pocket
of a leading member of the committee on

The Louisiana sugar growers don't like
the new sugar bounty plan of helping
along their industry, and it is said that the
entire congressional delegations from that
state, Florida and Texas will join in a
fight fol the repeal of the bounty provis-
ions and TO restore tariff duty on sugar
They would rather have a tariff of one
and half cents pound than bounty of
two cents. The government inspection is
annoying they have to wait six months
for their bounty, and the times appear to
be ont of joint generally with them. The
bounty law may be repealed, but it is en-
tirely safe to predict that we shall not
again see a duty placed on sugar in time of
peace. 1t is too common and essential an
article of everyday use for Republican leg
islation on this point to be overturned.

How High Is the Atmospherer

One would hardly think of looking to the
moon for information about the height OF
the earth's atmosphere. Yet it is in just
that way that evidence has recently been
obtained that the atmosphere extends
much higher than has commonly been as
sumed.
Observations of lunar eclipses made at
the celebrated observatory of Lord Rose
in Ireland have shown that the amount OF
heat received from the moon. which heat
is, of course, merely reflected sun heat,
just as moonlight is only reflected sun
light, begins perceptibly TO diminish sew
eral minutes before the shadow of the
earth reached the moon.
The inference is that the earth's atmos-
phere partially cuts off the suns heat as it
comes between the moon and the sun
ahead of the edge of the solid earth, and
calculations based upon the length OF time
during which the loss of heat from the
moon is felt before the eclipse begins. indI-
cate that our atmosphere reaches a height
of at least 100 miles.
How different this is from the height
usually stated may be seen 10y consulting a
popular schoolbook on physical geography,
published within few years, in which il
is affirmed that beyond height of forty
miles the amount of air remaining would
be too small to affect the suns rays per
ceptibly in any way.
So in the most unexpected and some
times wonderful ways we are continually
learning something new about this time
worn globe on whose surface we dwell
