NOW Is THE TIME.

More than two weeks have passed since
the unfortunate destruction by fire of
the house of the Young Mems Christian
Association OF the District. One would
naturally think that such a calamity at
the National Capital would at once call
forth sympathy in the form of liberal sub
scriptions from wealthy persons interested
in the great cause in every corner OF America.
The establishment of the Y. II. C. A. in
Washington should be a model one. 1t
should illustrate the growth and import
ance of the organization in every part OF
the country 1t should be the clubhouse,
as it were, of the tens of thousands of men,
bers of the body who visit Washington an
nually. Every member in America should
have n feeling not only of personal interest,"
but of individual ownership in the institu-
tion in this city, and the subscriptions
should therefore be increased. The new
establishment should be complete in every
department, in accordance with the pur-
pose outlined in the circular published
in yesterday mornings Times.
To accomplish this a large expendi-
ture will be necessary, hut there can be but
little doubt that after the plan of securing
funds is perfected and put into operation
the shekeis will pour in sufficient to war
rant the erection of a modern structure In
the most desirable locality.

SAVE THE TREES,

An article i'll The Times OF this morning
conveys the astonishing information that
the beautiful trees which line Washing
toms streets and fill the Government res
ervations are being rapidly killed by bugs
and worms; that several great old elms
in the White House grounds have already
died and been cut down, and that it seems
impossible to prevent their ravages.
Is it possible that bugs and worms are
stronger than the strong arm of the Gov
eminent? 1t is answered that appropria-
tions have been so pared down that there
Is no money TO purchase insect poison or
pay men for applying it, and therefore that
q remedy is impossible.
II this be the fact, it is but another
specimen of the remarkable spirit of econ
omy that usually actuates Congress. Money
Is appropriated for planting the trees, but
when bugs and worms form a conspiracy
to destroy the trees SO planted, there is
no money to expend to prevent their
making perfect their work of devastation.
II Congress is helpless, the citizens should
organize themselves for tree protection,
act with Col. Wilson and the Government
eItomologists, raise a fund by popular
contribution and begin before it is too late
to exterminatc the pests So inimical to the
preservation of one of the Distinguishing
charms of the Capital. Those citizens
who organize q Free Protection League
that will protect the trees ill earn monu-
ment as high as that of George Washington.

usEs OF THE BICYcLE.

Among the aftermath of the recent Par
ilamentary elections in Great Britain and
Ireland, it crops out that the bicycle played
an important part. Candidates and their
agents used it extensively in the rural
districts for the purpose of visiting con-
stituents, who would probably not have
been reached in any other way. A London
newspaper has this additional bit of in
formation:
Sweet are the uses Of the cyclist, and
sometimes singular his usages. or late the
cycle has acquired not only a Few social
importance, but n political significance,
for it has become unmistakably identified
with the Tory party. We desire, OF
course, in the present strained relations
between political parties, to keep politics
out OF cycling; but we cannot help reflect
ing that leading Conservative politi-
clan has been seen practicing on q bicycle
outside Carlton House Gardens, and that
the news OF tho assumption of power by
Conservative Prime Minister was brought
from Hatfield to London by an indefa-
tigable secretary in the excellent time of
one hour and twenty minutes. 1t was not
always thus. For some time tie cycle
has been associated with the cause of Ia
b0r. Mr.. Ben. Tillett, for example, has
defended to the point of law the right Of
the labor candidate to ride bicycle, il
he can afford 1t.
This reminds The Times that many Con-
gsessmcn from country districts bcgan iIn-
mediately to learn to back this nimble
steed upon their advent in Washington,
even to Mr. Tom johnson, whose plethoric
nesh would naturally suggest disposi-
tion toward inertia.
Mr.. Johnson's example led others I'm the
Ams direction, and the extent to which

DECREASING BEEF SUPPLY.

The receipts Of cattle at the Chicago
stock yards for the year ending the LIST of
August, 1895, sho wed a decrease of
31O,592 head from tho receipts for the
year ending August 1, 1894, which is
nearly 20 per cent Of loss. The Depart
ment of Agriculture estimates that ON jan
uary l, 1895, there were 2,156, ,O4S fewer
cattle in the United States than on January
1, 1894
A similar decrease of the number of cattle
in sight Is noted in Great Britain and sew
eral continental states from which statis-
tics are obtainable. and even in South Amer
lea the slaughter of last year sho wed a fan
ing off of nearly 100 900 head.
From what source, then, shall the future

come?
There was q time, before the great ranges

were lower than they are now for the dry

Anent a Third Term.

Instead of encouraging the tAird-term
idea so as TO work up to the grand
historical tabieau of Cleveland Refusing
the P residency," Mr.. Cleveland should
simply say now that.1c has not the slightcst
intention Of rnrning again, and that those
who speak Of him in connection with the
nomination are either foo,s or disguised
enemies. For If he waits too long some
Democratic conventions might declare they
4. did not want him again, and that would be
morifying Tribune.
The large number of communications
that are appearing in the newspapers Just
now urging third term for President
Cleveland indicate that he still has left a
very considerable prrsonal following And
that is about all they do Observation-Disclosures
Journal.
Leaving out of view the fact that such
a movement would constitute the obsequies
of the Democracy as rational party at
least until it recovered from the shock, we
are struck with surprise, that in view Of
recent developments, Mr.. Cleveland should
imgaine that his ''enemies" are circulating
talk about a third term. Without exception,
the taird-term talk has developed within
the sacred official precincts at Washing
ton. 1t was rever heard Of until the office
holders were given the cue.-AtIanta Con-

REMARKABLE ALLEGATION.

A Western typographical union adopt
ed resolution day or two ago, looking
to an investigation of the letting Of the
printing of Government stamped envelopes
by contract, and this has called out state
meut from a POstoffice Department Off
ciaI to a Times reporter that the work can
be done cheaper by contract than by the
Government. This is a very extraordinary
assertion, and one which loudly calls for
a bill of particulars from the person ma king
it.
The Bureau Of Engraving and Printing
was authorized by the last Congress to
print the postage stamps of various denom-
nations. This printing has been in progress
for months, and 1t has been demonstrated
beyond the possibility OF a doubt that
the results are in every way superior to
those obtained under the private contract
system. Paper, engraving, printing and
adhesive matter are better than ever be-
Of money has resulted.
1t goes without saying, therefore, that
the stamped envelope could be produced
cheaper by the Government than by private
contract. To begin with, the profit OF
the contractors would be saved. The Gov
enrmeDt could buy better material at a less
price than the contractor could; or, IL the
contractor were the manufacturer of his
own material, thus saving one profit, the
Government could easily adopt the con-
tractors methods and make its own paper
and gum.
The farming out of such work to private
bidders is unnecessarily expensive and
aDtiquated. There is usually Job in it,
however, for t.mebody In the Departments.

GAME AND CANDLE.

without trreverence or In any way mini
mixing the nobility of the impulse which
leads men and women to risk their lives
as missionaries in China, one may ask IL
the game Is worth the candle. The ques-
tion is the. more pertinent in view of a
statement fecently made by DR.. E. &.
Doneho", Of 2ttsburg.
DR.. DonehoT Is a Presbyterian clergy.
man of thep pl6 school, who has more than
a local reputatlon for his good work in
visiting and cheering the poor, the sick,
and the imprisoned, and he has utilized
among the Chinese his always welcome
and genial personality, as well as the
differing from other religious systems.
DR.. Donchoo has labored long and faith
fully among the Chinese OF Pittsburg
and Its vicinity. He and other workers In
the same field have for long years enter
tanned and taught the Chinese in the Sun
day-schools, fed them upon picnic pud-
dings and Ices, and watered them with
picnic lemonade.
After all their arduous and prayerful
efforts, DR.. Donehoo announces, boldly
and without the least reservation, that
All Sin can't be converted TO Christianity.
For business and social purposes he will
pretend TO become Christian, and then
in his own laundry back room hit the
pipe and manipulate the joss stick as
before.
1t is quite pertinent, therefore, to ask
the question whether it Ia worth the
while for missionaries u, invade the in
terror Of China at the risk OF their lives
when Chinese in this country, who are
constantly surrounded by Christians, can
not be converted.
