The Commissioner of the general land
office in his annual report calls attention
to the great damage done to forest re-
serves by fire, and suggests the use of
stringent measures in order ito prevent
such losses in. the z future. He recon-
mends such appropriation by Congress as
will enable the department. to divide and
sub-divide the forest reservations into
orderly proportions for the purpose O.
patrolling the same in the dry months

suggestion made by Gov. Atkinson
of Georgia in regard to the suppression
of lynching is that the criminal whose
lynching is threatened be armed and
turned loose to fight the mob. 1t might
at first seem that the effect of this would
be only to enrage the.mob the more, but
mobs are generally cowardly and con-
fronted by q desperate man fully armed
who would have nothing to lose it would
be found frequently that it would be
easily put to rout. However Gov. At
kinson's remarks on lynching derive
their Importance, not so much from any
remedy which he suggests, as from the
fact that the question is considered of
sufficient Importance to discuss. Until
recently lynchings have not been regard
ed at the South as matters of moment
enough to call for executive mention.

Secretary Sherman S influence with the
Republicans of Ohio has always been
great and for many years past he has been
relied upon to sound the key note of the
campaign. This year, his appearance in
the campaign has been delayed almost
till election day, when it is manifestly
too late to strike the key note. Why he
did not write his letter before when it
would have been more potent, can only
be surmised. Possibly his intention was
not TO take any part in the campaign, and
he only yielded because his silence was
being construed to mean that he was not
very friendly to the election of Mr..
Hanna to the Senate. That would seem
TO be natural inference from the pains
he takes to commend Mr.. Hanna person.
ally and to inform the voters that he in
tends to vote the Republican ticket on
Tuesday, declaration which would seem
to be superfuous. unless rumor had al
legged an intention on his part to stay
away from the polls on election day.

That is rather flshy story which al
leges an intention on the part of the
japanese government to dismiss Minister
Hoshi, for misleading his government in
the Hawaiian annexation matter. His
letter to Secretary Sherman instead of
showing that he did2 not apprehend an
nexation, as this story alleges, shows that
he did apprehend it, and was trying to
lind out what the status of the Japanese
would be after annexation was accom-
plished. The entire controversy with
this government was in view of q strong
probability of the success of the annexa-
ton movement. The Minister was seek
ing, on behalf of his government, some
guarantee that whatever rights the Jap
anese settlers in Hawaii had should be re-
spected in case of annexation. The per-
son who "faked" up this story was
densely ignorant of the facts in the case.
