THE New York Constitutional Conven-
ton has unanimously adopted the forest
Preservation" clause offered in that body.
The subject is one of profound interest;
forestry knowledge and forest preserva-
ton ought to be actively promoted. But
it is lamentable that it should be thought
necessary to inject legislation to those
ends into Constitution, in order to in
sure the people against the waste and
viciousness of Legislatures of their own
choosing. Constitutions should pro-
nounce principles and contain only such
direction as is necessary to make the
principles effective. Forest preservation
is not constitutional subject, but one of
economic administration. But in these
days the people are so fearful of them
works are little better than legislative
codes. AS such they must be arbitrary
and inelastic, and as a consequence we
are constantly tinkering our Constitu-
tions with amendments which amount to
legislation. It will be entirely safe to
forecast that the approaching Legislature
of California will not adjourn without
proposing from three to six constitutional
amendments to be voted upon. A sound,
stable and wise Constitution cannot be
made by patchwork.

cancel their treaties and assert them
selves as dictators; Turkey might regain
her yigor and set up the empire of Soly-
man, and Asian politics and commerce
become free from European control.
Upon the simple question of right, why
should any nation dominate another and
hold 1t in species of tutelage and un-
willing subjection7 If Japan can rise up
to the European and American levels of
civilization, why not other nations which
now suffer under cow of modern powers?
1t certainly is true that if Asia should as
sert itself it has the power to cast off the
European hand, but could it maintain
such position? We think not. Com
plete success could only flow from unity
among the Asian States, and this union
and comradeship is not only unlik ely,
but 1t may be said that it is impossible.
But we agree with the Tribune that
should Asia awake and succeed, the cause
of civilization would take no harm. Any
friction of that kind would be progress
i've, not retrogressive. Nations capable
Of such assertion as that outlined will

RABBI SOLOMON SCHNEIDER asks
why, when the time is ripe, youths
should not receive proper instructions
regarding the most important relation
they are to assume, one sex to the other?
None has attempted to say nay to him.
1t is an old question, and still we have
not advanced in it. We leave to instinct
the blindest of guides in the human be-
ing-the instruction that SO given in most
cases has to be corrected in the sorrow of
unaided experience, when it can without
difficulty and in few words be communi-
Gated directly, to the avoidance of pain
and suffering, and possibly of wrecked
lives and shattered hopes. Ignorance
that is innocence is never safeguard; the
innocence that is ignorance Is an ab-
solute danger. The Rabbi has done good
service to society by boldly preaching
that it is little less than criminal to keep
our experience purely individual; that it
ought to be the property OF our children,
and placed with them the moment they
are capable of receiving it.

PoPUL1sT INTOLERANCE.

A Republican orator who was speaking
within the bounds of propriety and de-
cency, discussing public affairs in an en-
tirely proper manner, criticising opposed
political parties legitimately and vigor-
ously, as he had right to do, was Missed
by Populists at Oakland the other night.
That was not surprising; the PopulisE
party, though it embraces some good men
and sincere reformers, represents as a
party intolerance and lawlessness. It has
demonstrated its capacity and spirit in
that line in Kansas. in Colorado. and in
the late strike in California, when cheek
by jowl with anarchists it stood up and
applauded resistance to the Government of
the Republic, and showered upon the
representatives of the people and their
soldiery all manner of abuse. and gave
aid and comfort to men in arms defying
the lawful authority.
Yet this is the party that poses as pos
sessing all the virtues and all the de-
cency and all the capacity to work re-
forms in the land, and still it brazenly
charges those who disagree with it with
being corrupt, collared, and the tools of
wealth unwisely used.
We quite agree with the Fresno Repu6-
lican when it says:
The POpulist spirit of intolerance is mani
fest In the form OF opposition TO the process
OF laW as administered by the courts. 1t is
seen in the violence, bitterness and defama-
ton nlllng the columns of nine-tenths of the
Popul1St newspapers; it finds expression in q
determined effort to crush out the conscen-
tious, intelligent independence of the citizen;
It was illustrated recently in Kings County by
d1sgraceful attempt to humiliate an indie
address public meeting, and then subjecting
him to TRADE of abuse and ridicule
All these things are born of the same senti-
ment which finds expression in answering a
public speaker and disturbing public meet
ing by misses. 1t is spirit which will event
ually destroy the party which possesses it.
but in the meantime it is calculated to do in
calculable harm. 1t is spirit against which
every well-wiSher of his country should set
his face sternly.
Existing conditions are not altogether as the
people OF any party would have them. nor
have they ever been, but such institutions as
we have we must maintain, and seek to i'm
prove and perfect them with a due regard for
the rights and the beliefs OF others.
For political party without a record to set
Itself up as tile sole custodian of honesty and
PATRIOTISM in this country is in itself ex-
tremely presumptuous; but when there is
added TO that disposition to resent with un-
right to occupy that position, the time has
come 70 protest.

HARPER'S
Pictorial History
Civil War.

This great book has sold for years
at SIC to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I64xII4 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn't
afford SIG and kept asking for the
old "Harpers Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was so inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 26 big parts, AZ
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever beiore-and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part
The parts have sold as high as S.
each, but can be got for only cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies ol
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, ali
go in with the pictures.

WESTERN civilization devised and con-

them to real test in great naval battle,

warship worthy of the name, and
which were taught to handle the modern

discovered their real strength, and how
to handle great ships effectively, these

INTERESTING FIGURES.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has put forth data concerning Govern
ment ownership of railways that is full
of food for thought. There is precious
little comfort in it for advocates of State
ownership. Thus, in the nations where
such ownership is most important, the
average charge for passenger carriage is
greater than in the country where indi-
vidual ownership is greatest. The first,
second and third-class rates are thus
