SENATOR VAUGHAN CRITICISED.
Editor of The Tribune.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To the Irishman, who may reflect
and think of the depressed condition of
irish anairs. and the continued struggle
OF the Irish people for centuries to restore
their political freedom. 1t must seem Pc
culiarly odd to read the interview Of Sem
ator Vaughan, which interview was, in
all appearances. ostensibly for the purpose
of denouncing and bringing odium upon
the leaders and promoters Of the Irish
Alliance We do not know when or how
this honorable gentleman of Scranton be-
came the exponent OF public opinion in
regard to Irish national affairs; or why he
should assume the tone of authority in
speaking Of the deliberations and course
Of action taken at the Chicago conven-
ton. with which he had no connection in
any manner or form whatever.
We wish to be plain on this matter. We
take up his interview through the columns
Of the Scranton Tribune in last Satur-
days. issue and we find that Mr..
Vaughan has made flagrant assertions,
lance in this city; and in order to carry
out his views and to prejudice the minds
Of some persons, his first move Is to speak
disparagingly of the leaders and deroga-
tory of their character. But what weight
Scranton? William Lyman. Alexander
Sullivan and John Finnerty require no
vindication at our hands. These gentle
men are known in both hemispheres, and
Mr.. Vaughan's attempt to brand them
with odium as discreditable leaders will
bear no weight in the prosecution of the
new movement here or elsewhere.
In regard to the glaring assertion which
Mr.. Vaughan has made concerning the
Triangle" and the. impression which
his aspersion intended to convey, We say
to the public and to Irishmen In particu-
lar. that Mr.. Vaughan has said Of the
Triangle what he does not know to be
true. He has no knowledge of 1t. except
what ne might have read in the public
press. at the time the so-called Clan-na-
Gael organization was shattered to pieces
by men who were determined to rule or
ruin.
In 1880 we met Mr. Vaughan as a dele
Chicago. Outside of that occasion We
know nothing Of Mr.. Vaughan's impor-

their political rights. and not to precipi-

measures. The leaders of the alliance
are neither fools nor knaves-they are not
discreditable leaders In whose purposes
the people have no confidence. They are
benefactors Of their race.

POLLUTION OF WATER.

There was an epidemic of typhoid fever
recently at Stamford, Conn.,, due to i'm
pure milk used by the people. One
Blackham, who supplied the milk, con-
fessed that he washed his milk CABS with
water from d well but few feet from his
horse stable. The epidemic was traced
directly to this cause. Some hundreds Of
people were sick of the fever, and a score
or more died of it, No more positive
evidence of the danger residing in wells
for domestic uses whore they receive
drainage from uplands on which there is
filth pollution could be advanced.
That drinking water may be polluted d
through earth sipage is established. ac
cording 10 the August ,Sanaitayidn, by the
incident related by Sir t. Spencer Wells:
''Some people living in mountainous
country, and having very little communi-
cation with each other, were in the habit
of quenching their thirst at a neighbor-
ing well after the Sundays attendance at
the church of the district. \ young man
died of diphtheria and was buried in the
yard. The drinking from the we'll con-
tinued, and in a short time twenty of
those peasants were carried off by the
same disease. If asked how we are to
account for this accident but on the pre-
sumption that the germs Of the disease
found their way into the water of the
well, various explanations, such as milk
outbreak or personal communication,
may be imagined, but none which so eX-
sctly correspond with the circumstances
as sipage from the corpse"
Everybody knows that ordinary water
pollution by animal impurities manifests
itself to the sense of smell; how reason
able it is. therefore, to hold that impuri
ties of more dangerous character, more
subtle and not manifest Ito the senses,
may dwell in water to which the pollu-
ton by animal and vegetable matter finds
it's way through the soil, propagating and
multiplying its bacteria or its germs as it
goes.
This all refers, of course, to open wells
and not driven wells, such as it was pro-
posed to sink in order to secure pure
and clear water supply for this city.
Such wells could not bs contaminated in
the manner indicated.

FOREST DESTRUCTION.

The San Jose Mercury opens a homily
on "Forest Destruction" with these
words:
The destructive fires in Washington will
serve to arouse public attention to the sub
ject OF forest preservation. The reckless and
criminal waste of the magnificent stretches OF
redwood pine from Central California to the
Canadian line has been going on for years.
This waste is due directly to indiscrimlnate
timber cutting and indirectly TO carelessness
and indifference on the part OF millmen, OF
sheep and cattle owners and OF hunters tnat
leads every summer to devastating fires.
Why should it have needed the Wash
fngton fires to arouse attention on this
important question: The Government
in elaborate reports, Presidents and Gov
their lectures and leading newspapers in
their columns have for years warned the
people of the danger TO their best inter-
eats that forest destruction means, un-
fortunately. as the Mercury says. but
rather extravagantly
The American people are characteristically
wasteful They have been riotiousiy wasting
their substance ever since they robbed
the native indian of his magnificent forests,
splendid prairies and fertile valleys. The
game is gone, but few salmon are left, the
seals are practically eXterminated, the forests
are rapidly being stripped from the mountain
Sides and much OF the soil has become ex-
hausted through continuous and excessive
cultivation. We take from nature, but we
never make any return. To this blind selfish
and ignorant policy there can be but one end;
the time is near at hand when there will be no
more substance to waste.
But this is stronger than truth justifies.
Wasteful we are, but not In all parts in
different. New York State fifteen years
ago took vigorous action, and has con-
sinued ever since to preserve her Adiron-
dack forests. The Government of the
United States has done good work in
collating and distributing Information
upon forest preservation. The report of
Commissioner Heugh made as far back
rs 1877 proves the lively interest then
felt by governmental departments in for
estry preservation. Michigan has been
doing much to preserve old forests and
grow new ones. Tree planting has been
greatly encouraged by Ohio, which still
has her srbor day. and pays a premium
on tree planting. Wisconsin has not
been indifferent nor has Minnesota
wholly neglected the subject. That we
have not done all that should have been
accomplished is very true; that oompara-
lively we have done little is undeniable;
shat we have NOT forestry school in the
Union, while Europe has q hundred or
two, is also true but while wasteful, we
have not been entirely neglectful.
1t is upon the Pacific coast that reck-
lessness in forest destruction has most
obtained, and is is because of the fact that
the people have known what deforestiza-
ton must bring TO pass. that we express
surprise and humiliation that 1t should
require forest disasters in Pacific State
TO arouse our people to right aotion-in-
deed, 1t remains to seen if that will do it.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Newspaper illustration is one thing and
caricature is another. The alleged pictures
that some of the San Francisco press infiicts
upon the public are worse than caricatures.
they are silly and abortive attempts at wit in
cartoon.
And now even San Francisco is proposing
the adoption OF an ordinance making 1t an
ofense to put upon the streets or in the gut
ters or on any part of the public roadway
any glass, nails, tacks, rubbish or other
foreign matter, obstructive 10 passage on the
street, or offensive TO the senses, etc. The
metropolitan press say that the ordinance
will pass. SO it will, doubtless, and why not?
TO suspect even its defeat means the sugges-
ton that legislators invite the use of public
streets for other than street purposes Yet
Sacramento has just such an ordinance as
San Francisco proposes 10 now adopt, but
whoever heard of an arrest made under it?
II the San Francisco law meets with no bet
ter fate than that of Sacramento the metrop-
oils may be the object of pity.

the sweeping of the business streets is de-
voted to cleaning the residence streets.
Out OF the general street fund a small
sum Is available for a semi-annual clean
up and occasional and spssmodic efforts
intermediate. So it ia true that the peo-
pie on residence streets pay three-fifths
OF all the money used exclusive OF the
merchants contributions for the clean
Ing OF the bitumenized streets, and Sc
cure in return nothing for local benefit.
The simple question is: Is this fair? Is
it fair that the men and women on Twen-
tleth street, for instance, should, in COM
mon with other residents outside of busi-
ness streets. foot three-ff of the bill
for cleaning in front OF business houses
and not receive anything for cleaning
streets in residence sections? We repeat
the questions: Is it fair? Is it just?
Would it not be more consonant with
equity to treat all alike. use the whole
cleaning fund to gather the accumula-
tons and see that the people on all streets
alike attend to street sweeping in front of
their premises until the city is able to
bear the expense alone?
The record-union., 1895-08-16
Is IT FAIRs

The street-cleaning mass meeting
called for tonight ought to be largely
attended. If it is not, If citizens who owe
something to the city of their homes
namely. good will and public spirit-re-
main away and only the earnest few
gather, it will be to the discredit Of the
city. We believe that Ii is possible by
either Of two plans to secure residence
street cleaning: First, by using at least
half the sum now paid for daily sweeping
bitumenized streets for weekly or fort
nightly cleaning residence streets COM
bined with the Four-Block League vol
unteer plan. Secondly, by providing q
residence street-cleaning fund.
Under the first plan residents on btu
menized streets would be required to
sweep daily in front of their premises as
residents outside of those streets should
do weekly. and the city would gather
and remove the sweepings daily in
business sections, while in residence
streets the city could make at least fort
nightly visits with carts and men with
brooms and shovels to second similar in
dlvidual duty under the second plan.
AS matters now are, however. all tax
payers pay for the daily cleaning of the
business streets, and the business men on
those streets pay voluntary sum also to
the scavengers; but no part Of the tax

The San Francisco Call announces that
an effort is on foot to begin an anti-rail-
road agitation, by the calling Of an anti
railroad State convention, and as be-
ginning meeting is to be held in San
francisco Saturday night to denounce
General Graham for placing on the mon
ument erected over some of his dead SOL
diers the words Murdered by Strikers"
At the same time the Federal Govern
ment is to be denounced, and so on, to the
end of bad blood and unwisdom. Really
the demagogue is put to hard straits when
he must needs resort TO old practices to
bring about conditions that are detri-
mental TO industrial, social and trade in
terests. If General Graham is not right
il his Inscription upon the Presidio mon
ument then the conviction of Worden
was a judicial outrage. 1t is matter of
common knowledge that the strikers did
threaten to wreck the train on which the
soldiers were killed; it is fact that the
train was wrecked, and that one OF the
leading strikers has been convicted and
lies to-day under sentence of death. If
that killing of the soldiers was not due
to acts of strikers, then in the name of
common sense to whom is the act prop
erly chargeable? This whole matter it
would seem 10 to be dragged by the fore
top from the forgetfuIness into which it
was sinking, and that, too, by the very
men who in the judgment of all commu.
mites having knowledge of the facts,
should say the least about it. As to the
anti-railroad agitation threatened it would
seem that this State has suffered enough
from such senseless movements. If
there are any issues between railway pro-
moters and the people of California un-
settled, they can be considered and settled
without passing beyond the realm of
reason and into the turbulence OF a most
unwise attempt to foster strife and en-
kindle enmities that can result only In
harm to California.

SURE THING FARMING.
ITulare Reuister,l

Despite the prevailing low prices for
farm products, and despite the depressed
condition of the business of the country,
it is a fact that those farmers who raise
crops year after year and do not fail are
reasonably prosperous and do not have
mOrtpaged farms. Our 'iniQuitOuS'
financial and other systems may pilfer and
rob the farmer as alleged but there is no
device OF man or devil which will so soon
plaster farm with mortgage as failure
of crops, and the repeated failure of crops
has been the undoing of the dry portions
of Tulare County. Free coinage of silver,
fiat money, Government ownership OF
railroads and telegraphs, sub-treasury
schemes or what not cannot help the man
who has nothing to sell, ship or to borrow
on; but the man who does have produce to
sell can somehow get on, even though
prices are low and times are dull.
Time was when the lands of Tulare
County were owned in large tracts and
small parcels of irrigated land could not
be obtained, but that condition exists no
longer. Tracts to suit the purchaser and
on easy terms of payment can now be
had anywhere in the irrigated portion Of
the county, and every dry" farmer in
the county should somehow possess HIM
self of one, if it be not more than ten
acres TO be planted to alfalfa or hay and
corn. Ii his means will not permit him
to buy, let him rent; but as soon as ever
he can he should somehow possess HIM
self of at least a small parcel OF land as
an anchor to windward in case of failure
of crops on dry lands. TO at least this
extent he should practice ''sure thing"
farming.
