President Harper's silence.

1t is an ominous fact that no explanation of
the forcing of Professor Bemis out of Chicago
University has yet been made by the one man
who is conversant with the facts, and who is
in position to refute the most serious charge
that can be brought against an institution of
learning. The general inference from this
silence is that Dr. Harper is not in o position
TO tell the truth, and by his reticence he is
giving growing strength to the conviction that
Professor Bemis has been forced out for rea.
sons which cannot be stated without hurting
the uuiyersity.-Boston Herald

The Vote in Ohio.

Since 1891 the Republican vote of Ohio
varied from $685. to 433, 342 and the Demo-
cratic vote from 276,9 to 4o4,115. If we
strike gene raj average we viii find that the
average Is as follows: The Democratic vote
averages 34O,0 900 in round numbers and the
republican vote averages 00,000. This will
give bushnell majority of 10000, and that
IS about where he will land when the Camp
bells are going.-st. Louis Star.Sayings.

The declaration of the Southern Pacific
that it will meet every reduction in freight
rates by reduction in wages might be just
as effectively used in compelling the State
to forego the right of taxation by declaring
that all taxes would be taken from wages;
it might be used in court as an argument
why damages should not be given against
the road in any case whatever; it is, in
fact, kind of insane bluster that irritates
but does not frighten.

OUR EXCHANGES.

From the Seattle Times we learn there is
a pronounced sentiment in the State of
Washington in favor of holding the next
Republican National Convention in San
Francisco. Governor McGraw heartily
supports the project and may be reckoned
on for what influence the administration
of the State has to secure the convention
for US. The Times is quite right in saying
at would be great educator for Eastern
politicians and their scope of vision re-
gardlng the West and its place in National
politics would become very much broad
ened. A large percentage of the attend
ance would sweep around by way Of the
upper coast going or coming, and both
Washington and Oregon would pro baby
be benefited politically as in other ways. ~
Because we stated it is better for Cali
fornia to be at the Atlanta Exposition
with one foot than not to be there at all
the Woodland Mail takes us to task and
declares California cannot afford to be
anywhere with one foot" In advancing
this opinion the Mail overlooks the fact
that when California has advanced one
foot she can be counted on to exert energy
enough to bring up the other one before
long. We agree with the Nail, however,
that 1.-The pessimistic silurianism, the
penurious county government policies
that make this shortness of funds on the
part of the State Board of Trade stern
reality at this time, is much TO be re-
gretted.'
Commenting upon the fact that the
Al =
Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin has
turned the attention of lumbermen to the
forests of the Pacific Coast, the Ilwaco
(Wash.) Journal makes a strong plea for
better care of the forests of the State.
when the condition of affairs only a
few years ago is considered" it says, 1--WE
cannot intelligently refer to our great tim
Der belt as inexhaustible, maschless though
it is in quantity as well as quality. The
demands that will be made upon it during
the next decade will certainly demonstrate
that this is not the case, and it is impera-
tive that stringent measures should be en-
forced to prevent as far as possible the law
ish waste of prospective wealth that is now
going on in Washington's great forests"
There can be no question of the sound
ness of this view, and however great may
be the cost of properly enforcing laws for
the protection of forests, the people of all
the timber regions of the Pacific Coast
would find it profitable before ten years
have passed.
After deriding the efforts of what it calls
the enthusiasts who undertook to start a
movement for reform and improvement
last spring, the Healdsburg Enterprise calls
upon practical men to take up the work of
public improvement and declares in favor
of bonding the county for a sufficient sum
to put not only the main road from Peta-
luna TO CloverdaIe in permanently good
condition, but also important lateral roads.
1t is more than likely that the earnestness
with which the improvement is urged will
