Not an Unmixed Evil.

The forest fires continue. They
are destroying thousand of dollars
worth of timber and spreading ter
0 among the inhabitions of scores
Of unprocted towns. Many a farmer
b as doubtless lost his haystacks and
his barns by fires set by the flying
sparks from burning woods, and has
deemed himself LUCKY in escaping
with his life. The annual destruction
wrought by forest fires is an lmpor-
ant though usually an overlooked
factor in the drain upon American
material resources to safe the appe-
tite of the Fire Fieud.
Yet there are compensations for
the loss which the forest fires in
yoIve. They barn up trees, but
they make clearings, and they leave
the ground covered with a coating
of ashes which wonderfully increase
fertility. Thus in two ways the
forest fires contribute to prepare
the land for agriculture. 1t would
cost a settler ten to fifteen dollars
per acre to do what a forest fire ac-
,complishes for him. He doubtless
considers the destruction of the tim
Der a small item, after all. There
is another gain to agriculture which
results from forest fires. They
destroy insect pests.

ON THE SKlRMISH LINE.
Pen Picture of the Advance to linn IN,
Ping of the Enemy's Bullets.

We get the word and deploy in front
of the r~egiment-a line of men from
ten to fifteen feet apart-and advance
across the old field, says a writer IN
the Detroit Free Press. We know
where the enemy is-in the Green
woods on the far side. There is fear
that he is massing a brigade there and
that the first seen of him will be a lima
of battle sweeping across the field.
We know where his skirmishers are
behind the fringe of bushes on The
other side of the creek half a mile in
our front. Over the fence-across the
level-down the slope, and ping, zippl
pingl come the bullets from the hidden
skirmishers. All! a man down-two
or three Of them! IL dead we can do
them no good; if only wounded they
must crawl away to the rear or lie
quivering and g~roaning in some of the
hollows until we are relieved. Our
side of the creek also has its fringe of
bushes, and at intervals there are
rocks and logs and stumps. Like cats
we creep forward-like cats we crouch
behind cover and peer over the LOGS
or to the right or left of the rocks.
Pop! Pop! Zipp! Zipp! Thud!
Thud!"
A hundred men on each side are
blazing away, and the heavy bullets,
fired almost at random, strike the logs
and stumps with a mutled thud or
smash against the rocks to be hattened
like waters and drop into the grass.
That bullet was fired by an old yeter-
an. | almost felt the burn Of it as it
whizzed by my cheek. That one was
fired BY n recruit who is probably on
the skirmish line for the first time. It
went at least twenty feet above my
head, druniug like a huge humble bee,
and it will fall among the troops far to

The man on my right is safe-the one

cap has fallen IF, and there is blood

Representative Grosyener, of
Ohio, has introduced a bill provid-
ing for an appropriation of $1,000
for a national dedication of the
Chickamauga and Chattanooga
National Park, which embraces the
ground upon which one of the most
memorable battles Of the war was
fought. The d~edicatory ceremonies
are to be held the 18th and 18th Of
October, 1894, and it is proposed to
invite the survivors of both armies
to join therein.
"Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad" is an ancient
maxim, applicable to Mr.. Cleveland
just now. lie is mad at the
obstinate Senators who in spite of
his commands and intreaties and
the influence of the financial world,
brought to bear by petitions and
personal presence of representatives
of the boards of trade III all the
large cities, still refuse to vote for
the Voorhees, repeal bill. The birth
of his baby and the good condition
of mother and daughter having re-
lieved his mind of family cares, he
will now devote his attention to the
Senate. He started in by sending
for Senator Voorhees, and giving him
a raking down because the bill had
not been passed, this being the date
that Voorhees, had set as the outside
limit for the passage Of the bill.
The bill has lot been passed, and
what is more, there is no Immediate
prospect of it being passed, 1t is
now stated that the great test of
endurance between the friends and
opponents Of the bill is to begin
next week. The silver men still ex-
press confiden &c Of their ability to
prevent a vote, and their opponents
are o so confident of winning as
they were.

Whittier Are We Drifting?

This may be said TO be the era of
repeal and opposition to everything
that has been done in the past to
give force and effect To national and
Republican principles. War is to
be made on national banks, on
national election laws, on national
pensions, on national currency-on
everything that bears a federal re
lation to union states. The repeal
or material modification Of national
protection to industries is almost
sure to take place. The tendency
of the present power of the Demo.
cratic party is to e a down every
thing that has been built up, not so
much because it is not good, but be
cause it was built with Republican
hands. 1t is a partisan not a patrl.
otto movement that confronts Us,
The enemies of everything national
are in power. There is a purpose to
weaken the national instinct in the
people and enhance the sectional or
state interest. The effort is towards
disunion rather than a union of re.
latiouships and common interests.
The only semblauce of union any
where is the strenuous effort going
on towards the union of church and
state. There is food for serious re
Il cctlon in all these tendencies now
coming to the political and social
surface, and it should give the Amer
lean people pause to discern whittier
we are going and whether it is safe
to trust these elements beyond the
nearest opportunity to call a halt.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our REGULAR eorrespondent.

"NHiANhADFt H. - sept Abs Ao"ps
1t is calculated to make 2 man
rub his eyes and ask himself
whether this is 1853 or 1898 when
h. hears the democratic arguments
advanced in favor of the bill which
has been reported to the House
providing for the removal of every
vestige of federal control owe con-
gressionala and presidential elections.
BY the way, the title of this bill
should read. ga bill to perpetuate
democratic control Of the Southern
States, and of the states of New
York, Massachusetts, and Illinois,
through the hoodlum elements IN
the cities of New York, Chicago and
Boston," for that is the real object.
The arguments in favor of the bill
are practically the same as those
advan ced in tho ffties in favor of
secession. TIE author of the bill
Representative Tucker, of Virginia
has the audacity to say that the
Federal government has no right to
supervise the election Of the states
Representatives in Congress" Since
when did the states have any Repre-
sentatlves in Congress? If Repre-
~sentatives are State officials, what
did the trainers of the constitution
Of the United States mean by this:
The times, places and manner of
holding election for Senators and
Representative shall be prescribed
in each State 10y the Legislature
thereof; but the Congress may at
any time by law make n alter such
regulations" and by this; each
house (of Congress) shall be the
judge of the election, returns, and
qualifications of its own members?"
The Senate has within a short time
exercised It's authority under the
last quoted clause, by refusing to
seat Senators appointed by the
governors of three states, and it
was done, too, by the votes of demo
cratic Senators, acting under the
direct order of the President; but
when was the democratic party ever
consistent in anything? The claim
that The federal supervision of
election is unconstitutional lisa false
one and no one knows it any better
than the democrats who have the
efTrontery to make it, in the hope Of
the ignorant.
The administration is dealing
with the Geary anti-Chinese law in
its usual wibbly-wobbly style. 1t
started out with a flourish of trum
pets a few days ago by announcing
that the law was to be enforced.
When the new Chinese minister
at the Department of State to
file the formal protest OF his govern
ment against enforcing the law aud
to put in a few words himself in the
same line, he was informed by
Secretary Gresham that the opera
ton Of the law would be suspended
until Congress took some action
relating thereto. Two bills have
been introduced in the House, both
modifying the law, and one Of them
is said by some people to have the
appreciation of the administration,
although others say that Represeu-

A pretty style of dressing for the home
is the silk blouse waist, now fashionably

Robin red is new color in tailor

Cloth dresses, in princess style, have

For young women the fashionable silks
