The Canadians are paying special
attention to their forests. In the plat
form of the Liberal party just issued
in Canada there are, seven planks and
the fourth of these is devoted to tim
Der. The question is treated under
three heads. The first demands that
timber limits should be disposed of JOY
open competition. The second refers
to an accurate governmental system
of scaling, and the third asks for the
introduction of a system of forestry for
the purpose of conserving and repro
ducing the forests. With Canada as
an example we should put our own
shoulders to the wheel and see that
the next Legislature introduces a sys-
TEN of forestry for protecting and re-
producing the forests of these Islands.
The Planters Labor and Supply Com
pany has furnished report upon the
point, and from all sides, for many
years past, have come warning voices.
There is no doubt that the water sup
ply has been affected by the gradual
destruction of our forests, and every
one on the Islands is directly interest
ed in their preservation. The forests
of Canada even now appear almost
limitless, but the Canadian statesmen
are far-seeing and they have before
their eyes the lessons taught by
- =, ~
France and British India.

There is no better oil stove
in the market than the justly
celebrated BLUE FLAME,
for which we are agents. We
have recently imported fresh
lot of these convenient stoves,
and they contain two new i'm
provements which add to their
desirability. One of these is a
regulating screw for the burn
ers, and the other is spring by
which the burners are brought
to the top of the stove when
it is desired to light them.
These stoves are absolutely
the best coal oil stove in the
market, and they are sold at a
reasonable price.
In coal and wood stoves we
recommend the PANSY as
being the best. We have it
in all sizes at prices to suit all
purses.
STEEL Ranges for large
families and restaurant use are
a specially with us, and we
shall be glad to quote prices at
any time,
A useful article in this warm
climate is a small alcohol stove
with kettle. We keep them.

Considered on its merits this initialmOve-
ment on the p;.Itof the operators may not
amount 70 mach; but al least it is a step
I'm the ri ght direction. and We trust that
IL will be the entering wedge for a treaty
OF peace and renewed activity. Itmay be
said. however, that IL is an overture
with a long string tied to it. Whether by
way OF bluff or in sober earnest, the
operators couple their willingness TO grant
two-thirds of the miners demands, with
the declaration that they mean to start
their mines immedi ately whether the
strikers agree TO the latest proposition or
not. They threaten TO import nOn-union
ciggers aud work them under police pro
lection. Since fear of the consequences Of
the present situation TO the gold cause in
Ohio appears to have dictated the conces-
son menticned, it may lie assumed that
this threat is intended rather to help
the strikers 10 terms, than as an indication
Of actual determination. IL the operators
were 10 dc as they sa they will, the poIit-
ical fortunes of Mr.. Hanna would not,
thereby, he much advanced, as far as We

In d general way the pendulum today
has see med to swing toward the miners
si,ie of the clock box. Fully one-half OF
the zines in the Wheeling W Va, district
are Idle. Near an important group still ia
operation, the strike leaders cleverly have
ciTcun,ventcd Judge Jackson by buying q
lot on which they hold their meetings with
out fear or chance OF mOleStation. Aa
other sort OF Dodge is TO be tried in the
Pittsburg district. The men having been
eaJoined from assembling and marching on
the highways theiT wives, sisters and
daughters win take their places and march
ON the mines, while the males remain in
carp. The theory of the lead-rsis that the
injunction applies only 10 men, and does not
apply to women. The scheme might prove
very effective II permitted in practice;
hut we DO not place much confidence in IL.
IL is a fair presumption that the courts
will he'd that an injunction issued for a
certain purpose against ''persuns'' or
"men," includes women and children: Ina
short, everything human Connected with
the premises.

Circulation Statement
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST Is. 1897.

A movement at last has taken place IN
CONNIE. ton with the strike, which we are
hopeful, may lead to a settlement As our
readers are aw are, much OF the coal mining
in the Tittsburg district is under the control
Of Cleveland, Ohio, capitalists; and these
people, FOR the most part, are close friends
of Senator Hanna who, indeed is one of
continuance of the strike, the widespread
and increa sing public sympathy it has at
tracted IN Pennsylvania and Ohio, and the
cigIiried and peaceahle conduct OF the
strikers, have combined TO create a great
deal Of uneasness at the Republican head
quarters la Columbus. For some days u
strong pressure upon the Cleveland OPP
orators has been exerted from that direc-
ton. and it has resulted in an effort at
compromise The miners want an advance
OF is cents per ton for mining The
Cleveland operators, NJ A. Hanna & CD.
for the moment dissenting, have sent
President Ratchford proposition to con-
cede IO-cent advance. He has ac-
knowledeed receipt OF the communication
and expressed the opinion that il would
not tie accepted, although it will be given
careful consideration

The two OF the South Solomon group an
exed to her majestys domain were Bel
Iona Island and Kennel Island.
The annex alton is valuable chiefly as
helping to complete England's possessions
of TIE entire South Solomon group. The
group is about equally divided between
Germany aud Great Britain. Germany OWNS
the northern islands of the group, while
England owns tie Southern tier. The large

the four islands which Capt. Pollard am

They are surrounded by coral reef barely

The islands are quite small. They are how

The climate is not unhealthful the forests
are rich in timber, and the natives are
comparatively civilized, and not unfriendly
