We don't hear anything more from
the jingo shouters with respect to
Secretary Gresham's insult to the
japanese government. They have
been quiet on the subject, not even
referring to it and well they may in
view of the fact that the message sent
contained nothing offensive to the
japanese government and it was sub
mitted to the japanese minister at
Washington, M. Tateno, before it
was sent The whole thing was based
on the imagination of those who have
determined to place the secretary in
as unfavorable light as possible with
out regard to truth Or Justice

Tariff reform is easy enough. All
that necessary is for one Democratic
senetor to whisper that he will not vote
for any bill that does not put a protec-
tive duty on sugar; another to insist
that he will support no bill that is not
for free lumber; another to demand
that collars and cuffs must be pro
tected or he will bolt, another to exact
a big protection on rice for this sup
port, and several others to insist upon
a duty on coal and iron ore. Every
body gets what he wants, and that's
tariff reform. Phdd. Press.

Destruction of Forests.

The st. Paul Pioneer-Press is up in
arms against the wholesale destruc-
tion which is being carried on in the
measure which threatens further de-
struction of said forests it says:
at will not be many years before
the last lone pine tree in northern Min
nesota, Wisconsin and Michigan will
have fallen before the AK of the lum-
herman. Representative Baldwin pro-
poses to hurry up the destruction Of
our pine forests by bill which he has
successfully pressed to a passage In the
house and which Is expected to go
through the senate. This bill provides
for the sale of all the pine timber in
the White Earth and Red Lake reser-
vations 1t is estimated that there are
at least five hundred thousand acres of
this timber. The bill proposes to dis
pose of it as fast as one hundred thou
sand acres are surveyed, in forty-acre
lots at public auction to the highest
bidder, but for not less than three
million feet. 1t would be q
great deal wiser and better for the
government to take measures to pre-
serve this timber, by placing it under
forestry regulations which would pro-
vide for cutting out the old pine trees
and letting the young grow and thus
perpetuate the forests for the benefit
of future generations. There is enough
wholesale destruction of our for
ests by the private owners whose
armies of axmen are gradually denud-
Ing the whole country of It's native
woods. This ought long ago to have
been prevented by such reforms in the
administration of our land laws as
would have protected our forests from
such wasteful devastation. But there
Is no need and no excuse for the gov
ernment Fastening within It's own do
main or In the territory where 1t holds
pine lands in trust for the Indians to
carry on this work of destruction. If
Baldwin's bill should pass, ten years
will scarcely pass before the entire
region around the headwaters of the
Mississippi will be denuded of it's for
ests, and when that happens, if the
climatologists are not at fault, it is
quite likely to be followed by serious
consequences affecting the climate and
photography of the state"

The bill to pension the widow of
General John Corse, which was
brought up in the house of representa-
tives last week, recalls the memory of
a gallant soldier of whom Penn
sylvania is proud to have been the
birthplace. His heroic defense Of All
Altoona, Georgia, with 1000 boys in
blue against 5000 confederates, still
lives in song. General Sherman
heard the roar of battle at Kenesaw
Mountain, eighteen miles away, and
signaled: "Hold Out" The sun
telegraph promptly flashed back the
answer: 81 will" This picturesque
episode of the war gave birth to the
inspiring gospel song "Hold the Fort,
For I Am Coming, ,"-Phila. Record

RUDYARD KIPLINe, the English ro-
mancer, told the ST. james Gazette the
other day that he lives on the borders
Of "the great pie belt, which extends
through New England and across
northern New York" That "pie belt"
that the celebrated writer mentions is
as broad and long as the whole United
States. Pie, unfortunately for the
health of Americans, is served morning,
noon and night, and If person feels q
little peckish between meals the first
thing that strikes him is pie, and he
forthwith chucks into his interior q
COB of the indigestible stuff which
serves to appease for the moment the
yearn for something to eat, but at the
same time balls-up his internal
mechanism and brings woe unto his ol-
tire system.

THE invasion by women of the rail-
way carriages In England reserved for
smokers Is made the subject of indig-
nant protests from male passengers,
who complain in the daily press that
members of the fair sex make it n
point to enter these carriages when
they travel, In the confident expecta-
ton of getting more courteous treat
ment there than In other cars, occupied
chiefly by women passengers. This
may tend to please the vanity of the
smoking Briton, but 1t forces him to
put out his pipe, and he objects.

VAGRANT ELECTRICITY.
Stray Currents from Trolley System
Turned to Account.

Stray Currents from Trolley SYSTEM
Turned to Account
A great deal has been said In the last
two or three years about the mischief
wrought by electricity generated for
lighting or trolley systems and re-
turning to the central station through
the earth. Even where the rails ore
used for return purposes. and are care
fully Joined by copper bonds, some of
the current, it is said, still leaks away,
and corrodes gas and waterpipes, eats
away the sheathing Of telephone
cables, and, by leaking small gaps,
gives O spark that may be the cause Of
o disastrous fire. But certain incident
al benefits resulting from such meand-
erings of electric energy are also re.
ported occasionally. The difference In
the potentials of two vagrant currents
coming into houses in Cambridge,
Mass, on water and gaspipes Is such
that by connecting the two pipe
systems there Is sufficient flow from
one to the other to run small motors
and incandescent lamps; and electric
door bells are also operated in the
same manner. Referring to an old
scheme for connecting telephones with
gas and waterpipes, and using the
latter merely as conductors for cur.
rent otherwise provided, writer In
the Electrical Review recently ex.
pressed the belief that "in any of our
large cities where the rails serve as
the return conductor for railway cur.
rents sufficient current traverses the
water and gas mains to conduct the
above-described experiment, using the
leakage current as the electric source
for the two transmitting instruments. :"

Canning Factory Prospects.

The prospects for busy time in the
canning factory in a few months is most
excellent. One hundred acres of toma-
toes thave been planted in the immed.
late vicinity OF Rocky Ford and all the
various fields are looking weel. This
is;partly accounted for blythe fact that
the Canning Co., provided a large quaint
ity of superior plants, all home grown,
for the especial use Of those raising to-
matoes for the factory. Among the
largest growers Of tomatoes are the fol-
lowing: ]. N. Lambert and A. P. Kouns,
Is acres each; Geo. Daring 8 acres; G. A.
Jones, james Benjamin and James Mont
Gomery acres each; while large num-
ber of growers have in from ono to
three acres. The canning OF tomatoes
will be the principal work Of the factory
this year, and the present indications
are that the force Of 1893 will have to
be doubled to care for the crop of 1894.
This will cause an addition to tho build
ing and enlargement of the plant in
other ways. While the canniug of to-
mntoes will be the leading feature this
season, beans and pumpkin will come in
for some attention.
