The Lottery Amendment.

When the lottery amendment was
before the people in 1889. it will be
remembered that A. @. Cleveland, the
Republican candidate for Governor
paid visit to Elko in the interest of
the scheme night or two before the
election was held, and, by a judicious
distribution of shares, created lot
terry sentiment here that resulted in
ten votes for the amendment. Now
he is candidate for Governor on an
anti-lottery platform. Can the peo-
pie trust him on the lottery question?
The only safe way is to defeat him.

Sugar Beets In Nevada.

Newspaper Bulletin No. Ill
Under the above heading there ap-
pears in the Louisiana Planter and
Sugar Manufacturer of September
%, 1894, the following editorial no.
tlce:
aThe Planter has received Bulletin
No. % of the University of Nevada
Experiment Station. and it is sim
ply surprising to see the wonderful
results had there in sugar beet
pro luction during the last three
years.
@Omitting six analysis of unripe
beets in 1893, which were made only
to determine the progress of ripen-
ing, the entire lot of analysis for the
three years averaged in percentage as
follows:
1901. 1892. 1893.
Sucrose. ........ 1870 1856 14.223
Total solids. .... 17.17 17.71 1852
Purity .......... 1857 S0.76 SO.76
"This is NEST extraordinary rec
| ord and shows what our SO called arid
lands in the mountain States can do
in sugar beet and beet sugar produc-
ton. If the investigation in Nevada
during the last three years had shown
that some of the beets could be de-
pended upon to reach these high an
alysis they would have been most
satisfactory, but the whole average
for each year has been high as stat.

fornia. These states seemingly have
the climate, the soil and the water to
produce beets far superior in quality
to those Of Central Europe"
The above is very encouraging t
those connected with the work in this
State. and it seems that it ought tx
be an incentive to our people to foster
this industi. and make it one of the
leading factors in building up the in
terests of this great State.

Our Disappearing Forests.

No wonder the forests are afire and
the crops shriveling up for lack of
moisture. In 23 years past the average
rainfall during August has been 4.6l
inches. During last August the fig
ures of the weather clerk at Philadel-
phia show that less than half that
much rain fell, the figures being 2.15.
Another feature of the past month
has been the absence of the
heavy dews generally so common
at this season of the year. The
records show that on days only
was any fall of rain noticeable, these
and the amounts being: Third, 80;
fourth, II; twelfth, 80; thirteenth, IL;
fifteenth, OIL eighteenth, As; twen-
tieth, .2l. Traces were reported on the
ninth and sixteenth. Since the twen-
tieth no rain has fallen, and reports of
drought are general from all over this
section of the country.
The smoke and haze of the past few
days, which at times have become al
most suffocating here in Scranton, are
now known to be due to forest fires
which are yet unconquered on
our cracking hilltops. Every
year 1t is estimated that in the
United States $25,OOO,0OO worth
of timber goes up in smoke through in
adequate methods of preventing OF
checking forest fires. This year, with
drought general in the timbered dis
tricts the loss will doubtless exceed
this estimate. 1t is loss which, in
addition to being instantly costly, is in
some degrees ultimately irreparable;
nevertheless, we submit to it with APP
parent indifference and take no decisive
steps to avert it.
In recent address before the Ameri-
can Forestry Association convention,

be amiss to call attention, also, to the
educational enlargement in progress at
this time. With new schools and new
school houses springing up in all parts
of the city, the fact is certainly not un-
important that the old ones are not de-
populated, but instead seem to enjoy
fully as much prosperity as before.
This, we believe, is to be accounted for
along lines of rational and natural
growth, and is merely another symp-
tom of the rapid and stable develop
ment previously exemplified, as we
have said, jim the newspaper field and
in the field of general literature.
The more newspapers and the more
schools, the merrier and the better, say
we. 1t is inevitable that the fourth
city and the third community in Penn
sylvania should exhibit these indica-
tions of liberal growth and thrift. Nor
is it necessary, because of them, that
there should be jealousies or chickering's.
The law of the survival of the fittest
will efectually prevent any deteriora-
tion in the standards either of local
journalism or of the private institu-
tions of learning which happily supple
ment the excellent work of Scranton's
superior public and denominational
schools; and out of the good humored
competition, so long as it shall be good
humored and not vicious, the general
public will unquestionably derive ben
eft.

General G. G. Andrews, of st. Paul,
Minn, showed how this business Is
managed in Europe. In Germany,
France, Austria and Sweden the pub.
lie forests are divided into districts,
sub-districts and divisions. Over each
district is placed forest inspector,
over the sub. b.districts are directors and
over the divisions are fOresters. To
these officials are entrusted the man.
agement and care of the forests and of
everything pertaining to them. If a
fire occurs the forester has been trained
how to suppress it andif it gets beyond
his control he is authorized to call in
the assistance of the neighbors. Women
and children go out with wet brooms
to aid him, and if it becomes necessary
the men will quickly fell for the forest
er belt of timber in the path of the fire.
Underbrush is not allowed to accumu-
late, trespassers of all sorts are excluded
and constant watching and patrolling
is maintained of the l 200 to $500 acres
entrusted to the care of each forester.
1t is his duty also to see that valuable
game is preserved and noXious animals
destroyed, and that trespassers are ex-
cluded. Besides looking after all these
economical details he oversees the
building of roads through the forest
and sees that his district is kept in
presentable shape for inspection at any
time by the director.
A start will some day have to be
made in this direction in Pennsyl
vania. 1t is inconceivable that even
this prodigal generation will submit
for long to the irreparable loss and
acute annoyance of almost incessant
forest fires, beginning with the bud
ding leaves of spring and continuing
until quenched by winter SHOWS. The
attention of the nextlegislature should
seriously be turned to this growing
danger, with view to the formulation
of some definite system of protection

TomorroW's Convention.

Tomorrow's Convention.
1t was happy incident of Satur-
days primaries that the large out
pouring of Republicans intent upon
registering its preferences in an orderly
manner achieved that result, upon the
whole, without friction and with little
bitterness. The personnel of tomor-
rows convention, as foreshadowed in
the successful candidates for delegate
ship, will be notable even in this no.
table year of reakwakened Republican
ism. Men were chosen in nearly all of
the 1872 districts Of the county who are
prominent in their respective commun-
tiles, many being the peers of any
with respect both to character and to
intelligence. At time when the
party generally is putting its best foot
forward along the pathway to national
restoration, this signal token of Lacka-
wanna's fitting alignment deserves to
to be noted with qualification and re-
corded with gratitude.
1t was inevitable that there would
be disappointments; and it is human
nature that these should, in some in
stances, find querulous expression. But
it is quite certain, in view of the char
acter Of tomorrow's convention, that
when it shall have completed its work,
the ticket presented will deserve and
receive the cordial support of every
true Republican. The forward strides
which Lackawanna has lately made
toward recognition as safely Repub.
lican county will not, in this critical
hour of Republican destiny, receive q
check from a convention that will
have in its ranks the men selected on
Saturday; and Democratic local proph-
cts, so accustomed to foretelling evil,
will again be disappointed.
Conflrmed IN this belief, The IRIB-
UNE awaits with equanimity the as
semblage of the delegates; and grows
impatient for the time when the en-
ergy, vim and strategy that are being
expended in honorable contests within
the party lines, may be unanimously
devoted to our friends, the common
enemy. The earnestness Of the prelim-
mary canvass will not have been
aroused in vain if it shall be only the
prelude to grand and sweeping re
vival of party enthusiasm which shall,
after Tuesday, have for its single pur-
pose the demolition Of Democracy, the
restoration of Republicahism and the
achievement of the hopes of citizen.

Private advices from each of the four
counties in the Eighth district leave little
DOUBT Of the existence of strong deter
mination on the part Of Republicans to at
tempt that once safely Democratic strong
holds revolution. Having for their can.
didate Judge William S. Kirkpatrick, of
Northampton. who was attorney general
under Governor Beaver, they propose at
least to make a strong, resolute and de.
termined fight against Hart, the Demo-
cratic nominee, and against the whole
hurtful record Of the Democracy as it
affects the citizenship Of that district. 1t
will take conversion of only trifle over
300 votes to overcome the small plurality
cast in that district for Hancock against
Grow; and with the Mutchlerites in
northampton sullen and angry, the Esser
faction in Carbon carrying dirks up their
sleeves and the whole population Of Mon
roe county absolutely Indifferent 1t ought
to be comparatively easy task for the
Republicans with proper effort, to land
Judge Kirkpatrick II winner. Hart would
be worse tnan nonentity at Washington.
A man who has never held Office other
than the Pike county Democratic chair
manship, and who is not known, either
by sight or fame, to twelve prominent
public men outside of his own little wood
land bailiwick, would be sorry choice for
representative for the influential Eighth
district, IN preference to man like ex-
Attorney General Kirkpatrick. The voters
of that district can scarcely afford to make
such an unwise selection.
