after to-day each car would make nine
trips a day from the Thlrty-sixth street

When the men learned OF the new

the probabilities Of a strike on the road.
Already the motormen have arranged to
hold an Indignation meeting the latter

men say. will then be appointed to wait

The reason for the new schedule is said
to be the desire OF the officials to run

President Norton has adopted a new
life-saving fender. which IL Is expected
may help keep down the death list and
number Of accidents on the road, while
the cars are permitted to run through

in places from ten to twenty miles an

They Come to Their Own.

We notice that when It reaches the point
Of the Populist Senators In Congress telling
their colleagues to get ready to honor
their socialistic allies now heading for
Washington as industrial armies" even
the cuckoos show signs OF alarm. They stop
denouncing the unflinohing Democratic
partisanship Of Senator HILL and Senator
SMITH. to pat the Republican Senator HAw-
LEY on the back for the scoring he admin
istered to the Populst Senator ALLEN.
Is this fear on the part Of the WILSON
blll-st-eny-price shouters preliminary to
their realizing what has brought the exist
ing situation to its present point Of ag-
gravaton2 How comes it that Senator
OF the United States has the effrontery to

been bushwhacking 1t across country for

trees upon areas thus set apart. We be-
lieve that many OF the forestry experts have
dlsapproved Of the policy OF cutting at this
time. The true policy for the Legislature,
therefore. appears TO be TO remove no exist
ing safeguards against the injury of the
timber growth. Where that body finds the
Forest Commission. the Land Board, and
the State Engineer. not 30 include such UNI
official bodies as the American Forestry
Associations, agreeing on any change OF
policy, 1t might safely adopt the recon-
mendation; but In conflict OF views, such
as is now apparent. 1t is unquestionably
wisest to give the preservation OF the trees
the benefit Of the doubt.
Even the net revenue derivable from
these cuttings Ia apt TO be exaggerated.
One Offset is the increased expense for
management and protection. Another is a
possible increase in losses from the greater
dangers OF fire and plumber. Where for
est front is unbroken, with no right OF en-
try, 1t is easily guarded but when roads
are opened which radiate In every direction.
1t becomes easy for timber thieves to slip
In. and the danger Of fire. from the latter
as we'll as from the authorized lumbermen.
Is vastly increased. Then the storage OF
logs on the banks Of lakes and streams may
permanently mutilate some OF the most
picturesque scenery. To the cutters, their
work. Of course. can be only q matter OF
business. and will be conducted In the way
easiest for themselves, rather than with .
view to the best interests OF the parks. al
though 1t may be found necessary to make
concessions so as to enable lumbermen to
secure and remove the timber once sold.
1t is true that the policy Of cutting does
not rest wholly on the idea Of securing rev.
enue to Offset expenses and to help
Justify further purchases. Younger trees
In a wood are often improved by get
ting more sunlight and more nourlsh1nent
with the removal Of larger trees adjacent.
The Forest Commission has as a guide
the custom Of cutting in European forests.
But 1t has been pointed out that this latter
analogy must not be pushed too far just
now. since the European forests have been
for generations under control. with large
amounts expended on them. Besides tho
poorer people there gather up the fagots for
firewood; whereas In tho Adirondack for
ests not even the dead and down timber can
all be looked after. while the lumberman
cannot undertake to remove the tops and
limbs Of the spruces he cuts. 80 that these
form On addition to the food for forest fires.
The Forest Commission has shown its do
sire to increase the area OF the reservations.
and 30 to administer them that there may
be no cutlery against the expense. But the
question Of park preservation is the main
one, and the Legislature will do we'll not to
remove any existing safeguards from it.

Only One Reasonable Course.

Look carefully and thoughtiully at the
Tariff bill for which Democratic Senators
are asked from the White House TO give q
subservient and speechless vote.
As tariff reform measure the WILSON
bill is farce and q fraud. It Is an eccen-
trio. unprincipled, unintelligible oonglom-
GRAFTON OF conflicting blindness and
contempt for tho great rule which should
have governed Its preparation. As q
performance Of the Democratic promise 1t
Is sham. and as settlement Of the ire
pressible tariff struggle 1t is ridiculous. 1t
deserves to be kicked out Of Congress both
for a libel upon honest Democracy and for
a vain and useless disturbance OF business.
The price for this makeshift. empty either
OF political honor or practical benefit. is an
income tax. a piece OF extreme and unprece-
denied class legislation to which the VII
SON tariff schedule is but an insignificant
parasite. disgrace to every Democrat and
an offence to the nose OF every deep-breat hed
American. a denial of equal rights and the
foundation OF a novel and despotic system

Trees in tho Adirondack Park.

The Forest Commission Of the State of
New York had issued. at recent date, no
fewer than forty-one permits to cut timber
within the State reservations. This it has
done under the authority conferred by last
years law. which allows 1t to sell from
any OF the States forest lands the standing
spruce and tamarack exceeding twelve
inches In diameter on the stump. and the
poplar Of any size at Its discretion.
Governor FLOWER. In his last annual
message, stated that the standing spruce
timber above twelve inches in diameter had
already been sold on l7.46s acres OF State
land. This great area Is equivalent to
more than twenty-seven square miles.
But this policy. while originally intended
to procure the State some revenue. and per-
haps also to improve the forest by judi
eiously thinning it SO that 1t may be re-
nswed. must be jealously watched lest 1t
should defeat the very object OF the wise
legislation which has set apart these
wooded areas for perpetual preservation,
use. and enjoyment.
We find that the Land Board, which has
a veto power on these permits. asked State
Engineer CAMPBELL w. ADAMS for his
opinion upon them. and he replied ad-
yersely to granting them. The Land Board
received this response. but did not act fur
Their upon 1t. inasmuch as the Assembly at
Albany had already passed a bill 10 abolish
the veto power in question. This bill is
pending In the Senate. and to Ii. accord
ingly. the Land Board referred the docu-
ment OF the State Engineer. 1t really
forms q strong argument against the pend
ing measure, because it is a practical illus
tration OF how the exercise OF this veto
power may defeat the grant OF permits
whose expediency is called In question by
experts Of high authority and unquestioned
public spirit
The plain duty OF the Senate seems to be
not to concur In taking away this safeguard
Of the veto. 1t Is natural that the State
authorities and the Forest Commission
should coyet the revenue obtainabls from
selling what are considered surplus trees
but 1t will not do to secure this revenue at
the expense Of injuring the Adirondack for
est. either as a park and pleasure ground
OF as the support OF the river system Of the
State. The theory Of the forest reservation
was that with the constant growth OF settle
