The Vanishing Woodlands.

For so wise men have been detail
ing the dire evils that will result
from the decreasing of our American
lands. The barren southern shores of
the Mediterranean. which used to sup
port great and wealthy population, are
pointed out as the result of allowing
country to be stripped of its forests. Elk
perts hold conventions once a year, at
which forest destruction is denounced
and forest. preservation advocated with
an eloquence that captivates all who
hear and read. The Century magazine
lately contained suggestions from a doz-
en- learned men on how to prevent
America from becoming desert waste
devastated alternately by floods and
droughts.
Meantime forest destruction among us
goes on if possible faster than ever.
With all the talk, the commissions and
the conventions, forest fires are worse
than they ever were before, forest thieves
and forest grazers are more abundant
and impudent. Several gentlemen wanc
a government commission appointed to
take testimony and consider the matter
carefully. Heaven save the country from
any more commissions. We have too
many now, such as they are, and the
money they cost is something fearful
What we want more than anything
else is for each particular state to take
the matter of forest preservation in its
own borders seriously and with determi-
nation in hand. We have agricultural
colleges and stations. In each Of these
there should be thorough course in
forestry. There is already in some of
them, A school sending out year after
year classes of enthusiastic young forest
preserving graduates would soon create
a public sentiment on the right side.
The creation of such public sentiment is
the great need today in the whole coun-
try.
We do not need a school of govern
ment forestry at West Point, at least
not yet. We want every individual
farmer and schoolboy and schoolgirl
taught that instead of the cutting down
of trees in the older parts of the coun-
try trees must be planted We want
the pioneer settlers to learn that forest
fires are their worst enemies and that
every precaution must be taken to pre-
vent them. The science of forest preser-
walton should be taught to school chill
dren.
AS to the general government, let it
protect it's own public forest lands and
keep marauders off them by means Of
the United States army, and let there
be no humbug about it.

February Birthdays.

1t has been duly impressed upon the
minds of aspiring young people that
George Peabody, whose hundredth birth
day was lately celebrated because he
was a philanthropist, began life as
grocer's clerk. It is hard to realize that
the man who became rich enough to
give away millions was in youth oblig
ed to stir out of bed at 4 O'Clock in the
morning and bang down the shutters
and wake all the neighbors; that he
had to wait up after 10 at night and
with an aching back and sleepy eyes
carry down cSllar the sidewalk display
of prunes, potatoes and coffee Yet
such is the fact. George Peabody saved
his money and invested it so shrewdly
that after a time he was able to make
other people get up at O'Clock in the
morning for him, while he staid COM
Portable in bed But it must be told
that Peabody never loved his native
country very much and that he remained
altogether in England during his later
years. He gave money for benevolent
purposes as freely in England as in
America which, to be sure, he had a
perfect right to do.
But there is another American born
in the same month of February whose
birthday ought to be celebrated more
generally. He was not rich. All the
property put together that he ever own
ed in his W hole life would not amount
to million or the half of it. He ought to
be held up to bright American boys as
a model much more frequently than has
been the fashion of late years. He be-
longed wholly to America. He is ours,
and ours only, and his name is George
Washington.

Increased Gold Output.

The year 1894 witnessed in the Unit
ed States considerable increased gold
production. This is owing partly to the
more exact and careful system of min
ing, partly, also, to the fact that varl-
Gus mines have yielded more abundant
ly than they did last year. At the same
time the production of silver ore has
fallen off. If the present conditions con-
tinue, it is likely that the increase Of
gold and the decrease Of silver at the
mines will last till the two metals be-
come more nearly equalized in amount
The amount of gold mined in the coun-
try during 1894 was $43, 600, 600, an in
crease of $1,000, 900 over 1898. The
chief increase was in Colorado, which
gained So, 000, 000 Colorado's total gold
product for 1894 was $40. 500, 900, al
most one-quarter of the whole quantity
produced in the country. California
gained 50, 200. 900 in gold during the
year, and her total output of the yellow
metal amounted to 81 900, 600. Cali
fornia is still therefore the leading gold
state of the Union, and Colorado comes
next. These two states produced nearly
three-fifths of the total amount Next in
production ranks Montana, with 81, 900,
600. Montana has also increased her
output about three-quarters of a mil
lion. These are the principal gold yield
ing states. Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington also report an increased gold
product.

The news 'of the organization into a
republican club of a number of Geor-
gians who have heretofore been demo-
Gratis is interesting and suggestive. In
these days, when the democrats of the
south are divided on the financial lines
or other lines of policy, the real danger
of democratic loss of control of affairs
comes from the republican party. The
strong belief which exists in almost all
quarters that the republicans will he

can sympathizers here in the south as

Mr.. Coils P. Huntington, the presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific railway sys-
tenn, is far-seeing and successful bust
ness man, whose judgment is rarely at
fault, and his opinions always receive
the serious consideration of the CONNER
cial world 1t is his conviction that
from now ION the country will see five
years as bright and properous as any pc
riod within the past fifty years. Mr..
Huntington briefly gives his reasons for
believing there will be speedy improve
ment IN business. He says that the
country is comparatively barren of goods
and it must be supplied. In his expert
ence of sixty years he says that he has
never known more than three
years OF prosperity in ten, and usually
there have been three pretty bad years
in ten. The past three years have been
unsteady, and the time has come for a
revival of prosperity. All this is is very
pleasant, but after all it Is only one
mans opinion.

Great is the American Institute of
Civics. 1t purports to teach Americans
the science of government and the du-
ties of citizen. But one of its learned
professors lately declared that he did
not believe in reading newspapers and
that he would prefer to educate young
people not to read newspapers rather
than educate them to do SO. Pretty kind
of a professor thatl The peoples history
is the newspaper. A good journal con-
tains more of the true science of govern
ment in its pages in a year than such a
professor as that can teach young people
in five years or ten years. The best lit
erature, the best sermons, the best criti-
cism, the records of all the great eco
nomic movements, scientific discoveries
and everything else come to the peoples
knowledge through their newspaper
Furthermore, a paper is not newspa-
per unless it gives the news, whatever
that may be.

has been suggested that the patriotic
owners of great sugar and other planta-
tions in Hawaii import Americans in
stead of Portuguese and Japs for agri-
cultural work. Intelligent American
citizens can stand the climate and the
labor admirably. A quiet movement of
Americans to Hawaii would knit closer
that republic and this. 1t would in time
weed out the Japs and Portuguese that
now constitute the element most threat
ening to the safety and permanency OF

The Pacific Railroad Debt.

By the acts of 1862 and 1854 con-
gress loaned to the companies under
taking the construction of the railroad
from the Missouri river to the Pacific
coast S64, 900, 900. Besides that it grant
ed to them outright %, 000,0 900 acres
of land. Interest was to be paid on the
loan at per cent. In return the gov
eminent took first lien on the proper
ty of the Pacific road. After the work
had been begun, however, it was found
that there was not money enough to
complete it. Then by another act Of
congress the company was permitted to
raise money on their own corporation
bonds. The government agreed to take
a back seat and give those who held the
oompany's private bonds first lien on
the road, itself taking a second lien.
That was more than 80 years ago.
Not one-quarter of the interest has ever
been paid by the Pacific railroad COM
panies to the United States government.
The loan, which at first was $64, 000, =
600, is now swelled by interest to $138,
600, 900. The companies overreached
the government, causing their contract
with the United States to be drawn in
such a way that the government lien
ONLY covers the main lines and not the
branches of the roads. The govern
ment's second mortgage on the roads,
therefore, already amounts to twice as
much as the roads are worth, and there
is not the slightest prospect that it will
be paid One proposition made is that
the government take possession of the
roads and operate them or lease them.
