FOREST PRESERVATION.

The second annual report of the chief
fire warden of Minnesota, General c. c.
Andrews. shows conclusively the great
utility of the fire warden system created
by the Forest Preservation act of 1895
in preventing fires, especially in the
forests and to a considerable extent on
the prairies During the year 1896 very
dry weather prevailed in the Lake SUI
perior region, both in Minnesota and
Michigan. In Michigan, which has no
fire warden system, the losses by forest
fires amounted to millions. In Mime
sofa, in consequence OF the precautions
taken against the setting of fires and
the active efforts of the fire wardens to
extinguish them, the loss by forest fires
was only S16,059. Previous to 1895, ac-
cordlng to the estimate of seventy-five
fire wardens. the aggregate damage by
fores, fires was SAL ,232 ,00O 1t is ex
ceediugly fortunate for the state that
the effort which was MADE in tie last
Legislature to repeal the Forest Preser-
walton law was defeated by the veto OF
Governor Clough. One OF the important
features Of General Andrews second re-
port is an estimate of the areas of for
est in twenty-threeso eso-called forest cOun-
ties Cf the state, and the number OF
feet of pine and deciduous trees in
each This is the first attempt to col
lect statistics OF this kind, and their
value for future use in any intelligent
system of forest preservation or even
as showing the timber resources of the
state Is very great The area of these
forest counties is 22,S55 900 acres. They
contain 1O,SS9. 900 acres of forest.-St

The fight in that state is, in a measure.
crisis in the battle for the restoration
of bimetallism. 1t may become the
turning point Neither the Populists
nor the silver Republicans came to the
Democratic Convention with demands.
But they hoped for recognition. They
desired to be allowed to become allies
In the struggle for the overthrow OF
Hannaism, and all that Hannaism i'm
plies, and the gold standard. There are
about 10000 POpulists in Ohio. There
are about 10000 silver Republicans.
These are votes enough to win or lose
a contest The Democrats would have
been wiser to make sure of them. They
may calculate upon getting back Demo-
cratic votes that went against them
last Fall, but any such votes would
come from Democrats who are con-
vinced that national salvation is to be
found only in bimetallism, and they
would not have been deferred from
voting the Democratic ticket by an al
lance with the Populists and the silver
Republicans. Having endorsed the
Chicago platform and adopted a most
pronounced silver platform, no votes
may be looked for from gold Demo-
Gratis. The gold Democrats are lost to
the Democratic ticket anyway, and it
would have been good sense to replace
them with Populists and silver Repub-
lican votes. We hope that the Demo-
cratic Convention did not think more
Of the glory of purely party victory
than it did of the success of the prin-
ciples involved in the campaign, and
the tremendous issues which will be
shaped by its result. If the cold treat

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
RAILROAD RATES.

The decision Of the Supreme Court OF
the United States that the Interstate
Commerce Commission has no author
ity to fix railway rates is an extension
or more definite and explicit state
ment OF the opinion of the court IN
what is known as the Social Circle case
In the earlier case, the court de-
clared that it did not find in the act
creating the commission any provision
that directly or by necessary implica-
ton conferred on the commission the
power TO fix rates. The text of the later
decision is not yet made public. but
II seems to be in accord with the view
taken by the Circuit Court Of Appeals,
that under the act common carriers are
subject only TO the two general prohi-
bitions that their rates shall not be
unreasonable, and that they shall not
convey unjust preferences or discrimI-
nations.
The authority OF the commission to
declare any rates unjust and unreason-
able IS not impeached. II Il has not the
authority to order carrier to estab-
lish a certain rate, or not to exceed a
certain rate which Il regards as un-
reasonable, it can reach much the same
result. though with more delay and cir
cumlocution, by deciding one rate after
another to be unreasonable until the
rate which it has in mind as a proper
one Is reached
In this view Of the case, it is not clear
that the railways will profit greatly by
the decision of the court The commits
sion may be somewhat impeded in the
exercise of its real or supposed func-
tions, but that will be ALL On the other
hand, II this decision operates Indirect
ly to hinder the enactment of provis-
ions, permitting pooling contracts, the
roads will lose more by 1t than they
can possibly gain by its direct Effects
