THE SEASON OPENS.
The Pine Tree Mills at This Place
Begin Operations.
They Will Run Day and Night. =
Will Work Ten Hours

The Pine Tree Lumber Co.'S mills
started Tuesday afternoon to run
day and night throughout the season.
The company expects to saw TO-
100000 feet during the season
which will be nearly twice the amount
sawed last year. They are we'll sup
piled with logs having about 3D.
900, 600 feet on hand, of which NUM-
her 10, 100000 were left over from
last years cut. The force at the
mills has been about doubled and
$50 men are employed by the COM
pany this season, which will bring
the pay roll up to about $1,000 a
week. The working day has been
shortened one hour, and the COM
pany has adopted conditions by
which the men can have the benefit
of eleven hours time. Although ten
hours will constitute a working day
if an enp]oye continues in the
employ of company throughout
the entire season he will, at the close
of the season, be given extra pay
for an hours time of every working
day during the season. This is done
to induce the men to continue with
the company throughout the sea-
son, as it will result more protitably
to the employers and also, through
the conditions adopted, to the en-
ployes. The course the company
has taken this year should commend
them to the confidence of their EN-
ployers more than ever. -, ~. ~.
The mills were forced to shut down
Wednesday morning by the heavy
fall OF snow. They will start again as
soon as possible. -- ..-...~ -..>.. -.

ARBoR Day is now recognized and OBJ
served by nearly every state in the
union, and sinceit was first instituted it is
estimated that billions of trees have been
planted throughout the country. Public
schools and colleges have taken it up, and
parents and teachers are instilling in the
minds of our youth the Importance of plant
ing fruit trees, shade trees or forest trees
along the roadside, by the school house or
in the door-yard. The governors of the
several States designate and proclaim day
in April for the planting of forest trees,
making it a holiday. Not only in the
virgin soil of the Western prairies. but in
our Older Eastern States, where, from greed
or ignorance, the ruthless hand of the
vandal has destroyed the primaeval forest,
the subject is taking deep root, and not
merely for shade and comfort, but for tim
Der, the question urges its own importance
upon the minds or our legislators and
patriots. While many trees, such as the
oak and elm, require more than one genera
tion for maturity, there are many others,
among them the maple and walnut, that
make rapid growth, and the hand that
plants may enjoy the first fruit of its labor.
There is wholesome sentimentality that
fingers about tree-planting, and even the
most untutored are not insensible to its
influence, for he that plants tree
"Plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of a coming age,
The joy that unborn eyes shall see."
Our own little State might proitably
join the ranks Of the arborites. The road
side cherry tree and apple tree that made
glad the hearts of the school children OF
former generations are becoming notably
fewer, and the weary pedestrian misses the
grateful shade and shelter their wide
spreading branches offered. Let us have
and keep Arbor Day, and let us plant and
nourish trees that will be blessing to the
neighborhood long after we have gone
hence

THE lamp and liquor question is the
all absorbing subject which is attract
ing considerable attention to certain
little town in Minnesota. 1t has been
the custom 20 light the town from the
license fees, but recently the citizens
voted "no license" and those who
favor the liquor traffic, including many
influential citizens, declared that there
could be no public lighting of the
streets since the license fees were cut
off. Now the little town has a public
spirited Young Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, and they imme-
diately began TO look about to see what
they could do tosave the town fromdark-
ness, and at the same time lend hand
toward thwarting the rum power.
They soon collected, by subscription,
money to furnish the oil, and having
obtained charge of the lamps, they
allotted one lamp to each girl, whose
daily task is to fill, trim and light her
own particular lamp. The Young
Mems Total Abstinance Legion re-
solved to cooperate with these wise
virgins, and in spite of the chargin and
Indignation of 1.-THE influential citi-
zensn the little town of Ey0ta is now
as we'll, nay, better lighted than under

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. April 3.1S93. Demo
cratic Senators are fguratively moving
Heaven and earth to prevent the in.
vestigation of the charge Of criminal
embeZzlement made against Senator
Roach, of North Dakota, directed by
Senator Hoar's resolution. They first
tried bluff by stating that other Sena
tors were in the same boat with Roach,
and intimating that Power, of Mon
tana, was one of them. That didn't
work, rot even little bit, for Senator
Power promptly denounced il. as false
and demanded the most searching in
vestigation, two things which Roach
has not done. The Democrat Sena-
tors have good reason to fear any thing
that promises TO expose the true in
wardness of the election of Roach to
the Senate, which was brought about
by special and explicit directions from
Senator German, who was chairman
Ol lu0 OcuuUCidIiC OCuotOlI Idl otCCl-
ing'' committee. There is good reason
for the belief that the actual facts in
the deal by which Roach became Sena-
tor would, if made public, cause
national scandal with more or less dis
graceful ramiications in number of
States. The Democratic Senators are
now making personal appeals to the
most easy going Republican Senators,
to let the whole matter drop, because
whatever the result of the investigation
so far as Roach is concerned it will
briug scandal upon the good name of
the Senate that will cling to it at home
and abroad for many years. have no
authority to speak for Republican
Senators, but / violate no confidence in
stating that number of them have
made up their minds that something
has got to be done, and if Roach
doesn't resign before the Senate gets
through with the Eases of the appointed
Senators, now under consideration,
they propose to have SONS action
taken upon Senator Hoar's resolution,
or to let che country know why. 1t
has Just been learned that the new
programme of the Democratic Sena-
tors is to force an immediate ad
journment of the Senate as soon as the
cases Of the appointed Senators are

up its abode in Honduras, a republic

Grant as a sphinx.

The following letter is printed in the
concluding pant of the correspondence
Of General and Senator Sherman, in
the Century for April:
MANSFIELD, OHIO, August 9, 1867.
DEAR BRoTHEB:-It is now be-
coming extremely important to know
precisely what Grant wants in con
nection with the Presidency. If he
has really made up his mind that he
would like to hold that Office he can
uave it. Popular opinion is
all in his favor. His position is the
rare one of having that Office within
his easy reach, and yet it is clear that
his interests are against his acceptance.
The momenb he is nominated he at
once becomes the victim of abuse aud
even his great services will not shield
him. Our politics for years will be
maelstrom, destroying and building up
regulations with rapidity, My convlc-
tion is clear that Grant ought not to
change bis present position 10 that OF
President; and if he declines, then by
all odds Chase is The safest man for
the country. He is wise, polite, and safe.
Our finances, the public credit and the
general interest of all parts oi
the country will be safe with him. His
opinions are advanced on the suffrage
question, but this waived, would be
most conservative President. He is not
partisan; scarcely enough for his own
interests; still, if Grant wishes to be
President, all other c ndidates will have
to stand aside. | see nothing in his
way unless he is foolish enough to con-
meet his future with the Democratic
party. This party cannot dictate the
next President. They would deaden
any man they praise. Even Gram
could not overcome any fellowship with
them. If they should take wise course
in future political questions, theii
course during the war will bar their
way, You may not think so, but !
know it. The strength is with the
Republicans, not of the Butler stripe,
but with just that kind of men who
would be satisfied with the position of
Grant. The suffrage and reconstruc
tion questions will be settled before
the election, and in such way as to
secure The Republican party an even
chance in every Southern State except
Kentucky.
81 agree with you that Indian wars
will not cease until all the Indian
tribes are absorbed in our population,
and can be controlled by constables in-
stead Of soldiers.
81 mean to remain as quiet as possi-
Bile this fall, l am not now in high
favor with the Radicals, and can
afford to wait awhile. The election in
Ohio will go as usual. The suffrage
amendment will be adopted by close
vote, and that will settle forever the
negro question in Ohio. A reaction
and struggle may occur in the South,
but no change will ocenr in the loyal
States until they divide on financial
questions. This is inevitable after the
next election. Affrctionately yours,
JOHN SHERMAN -

TaosE close to the administration


THOSE close to the administration
say that the withdrawal of the
Hawaiian annexation treaty from the
Senate does not indicate that Mr..
Cleveland is opposed to annexation.
They say that he thinks more satis-
factory treaty can be negotiated and
it is predicted that the new treaty will
be negotiated and sent to the Senate
before the present session comes to a
Close. In other words, if these gen.
men be correct in their statements, the
principal objection to the treaty was
that it was negotiated by Republican,
instead of a Democratic administra-
tion.

THE Kansas women propose to vote
this spring in body If the heavy regis
tration in the cities of the State is TO
be taken as an indication. In Kansas
City there will be the additional in
ducement of woman candidate for
mayor Of the city. A large number
of women have qualified themselves
through the registry, and it is natural
that all parties should await the result
of the voting and what comes after
ward with something more than Curl
osity. The registration as might be
expected furnished plenty of humor.
The woman who insisted that her
being only 20 years of age did not de-
Oar her from the right of suffrage as
aong ss she had a husband, was but
one of several instances Of feminine
characteristics. Guessing at ages
seems TO have been pastime of the
repistry boards. aud and sometimes a
TOD far FETCHED guess was promptly re-
.eenied in ihe usual feminine way.

DELAWARE is retrograding very
fast. She has a Democratic Legislature
which will live in history and its men,
bers who framed the infamous, bills
that make the present session a dis
grace to the Diamond State, will have
the finger of scorn pointed at them all
the rest of their lives. They de-
serve all the censure that can
be heaped upon them. The
late election was too uncomfortably
close and the Democratic law makers
are bound to see that it does not
happen again. Not contented with dis
franchising more than 600 voters in
Kent and Sussex, the one man rule in
New Castle, known as the Dickey
amendment, will look after his county.
Every honorable man in the State
cannot help but blush at the peridy
and partisan tactics of our Demo-
cratic Legislature.

In THE discussion of the propriety
of convicting an accused person for a
capital offense upon purely circum-
stantial evidence it is contended as an
argument that men do business every
day on circumstantial evidence. Very
true, but they do not stake what is
dearer than wo.ldy possessions-their
life-upon circumstantial evidence.
To settle the whole question, why not
abolish capital punishment? Nobody is
able to present reliable evidence that
the death penalty decreases the propor-
tion of homicides and that is the only
possible use it could have.

The Story ofWhfttier's ssSnow Bound
II should be an int ere sting fact to
the readers of this magazine that one
of Whittier's best beloved poems was
originally intended for furerunner of
st. Nicholas. When the publishers of
one of the first juvenile periodicals,
"Our Ioung Folks" we're casting
about for clever people to make strong
their early numbers, John g. Whittier
was one of the first TO whom they made
application; they asked him to write
about his boy life. Happening to be in
the Office of the publisher at the Time,
making arrangements for some illus
trations, heard much of the cores
pondence.
In response to another letter from
Mr.. James T. Fields about the contri-
button, the poet replied substantially,
"Oh, the matter has grown beyond ali
boundsl Thee wanted twelve stanZas.
anu lnlCO blot oAO nOH
and the story has scarcely begun; and,
moreover, l fear thee will not like it. y
Mr.. Fields telegraphed, "Send it along
and let me judge for myself" The nexl
morning Mr. Fields thrust the frs
pages of "Snow- Bound" into my hand,
remarking, "What do ycu think of that
for a Christmas book? There is a pic
ture in every line"; and truly it was SO.
The sheets were sent back with just
eight words attached:
sMake it as long as you can. Splehd hdidl'
