AS the forestry commission seems to
be so solicitous about the care of our
forests. and the government is 80 watch
ful over the whites in preventing the
cutting of timber, in the name of all the
Kings, Queens and Jacks. why don't
they stop the wholesale slaughter of our
spruce timber by the Indians? Five
hundred poles, under the legal size
limit, passed through this place yester-
day on the way to Pine Ridge, and the
slaughter is being ruthlessly continued.
AT this rate Spring creek will soon be-
a barren, waterless waste.

If Mr.. Sherman Is the next Sec
rotary of State, we may find him
rather critical about our matters.
But he is a just and fair man. He
has not been quite satisfied, for
some years, with the results of re-
ciprocity not only because he
thought we were getting the best
OF it, but because he believed that
the planting interest did not care
a snap for the moral" side of the
question, and had persuaded them
selves that the trade consideration
was the only one which the Am
orleans kept in mind. This is the
truth OF the matter. But we are all
learning much as we grow older.
Mr.. Sherman should be regarded
as an unprecedented man, even if he
does not love us to death.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

Mr.. Mckinley affirmed during
the late campaign his belief in the
system Of paying sugar boun1es.
When he secured the passage OF
the law providing for them, he be-
ieved that it was not in conflict
with the constitution, and he now
believes 50.
The late decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States lodged
the issue when the Louisiana men
tried 10 enforce the payment OF
bounies due. The broad question
whether or not Congress may vote
bounties is yet TO be settled, but
the indications are that the Su-
preme Court viii put as small linn
itations as possible on the freedom
of Congress to promote trade
Mr.. Mckinley believes in free
coffee, free tea and free sugar.
There is no question about that,
for he says 80. The present duty on
his sugar Is not his work; he'would
return TO the bounty system if he
could, and he viii do so whenever
he can see his way clear to it. The
present condition Of the finances of
the country may delay action for
some time.
But If the bounty system is
again adopted, and these Islands
remain independent, no bounties
under any form of reciprocity trea-
y would probably be paid to the
planters here, for the reason that
the amount required for that Pur-
pose would startle the rural Con
grezsmen- No objection would per
haps be made to the payment of a
moderate amount OF money, but
