 It is the opinion of the committee that, while forests probably do not increase the precipitation of moisture in any broad and general way, they are necessary to prevent destructive spring floods and corresponding pc. rio,ls of low water in summer and autumn, when the agriculture of a large part of Western North America is dependant upon irrigation.

THE INSULT TO ALTGELD.

]. P. Altgeld has just been succeeded
by John R. Tanner as governor of Illi-
nos. The Inauguration of Governor
Tanner was made the occasion for in
sulting retiring Governor Altgeld by
the Legislature of Illinois.
1t has been the custom in that state
for the retiring governor to make an
address upon the occasion Of the in
auguration of his successor. In ac-
cordance with this custom Governor
Altgeld had prepared an address. He
had also given advance copies of it to
the press, as is usual on such occa-
sions, which had been released. The
administra ton forces had determined
that he should not deliver the address.
A conspiracy was entered into between
the speaker and the majority of the
members of the legislature (Which is
Republican, that no Democrat should
be recognized in joint session. This
made it impossible for any Democrat
to move that the retiring governor be
requested to address the legislature.
So Ex-Governor Altgeld's address was
never delivered.
There could not have been a more
disgraceful and discourteous affair
than this. The retiring governors
name had been placed upon the pro-
gramme by the committee on ar
rangements, and he himself had
escorted Governor Tanner into the hall.
His wife was sitting by him all the
time.
When the Republican legislature of
Illinois insulted Ex-Governor John P.
Altgeld on the occasion of his retire
ment as the chief executive of the
state and the Inauguration of his sue
cessor, it insulted the whole people of
the state of Illinois. The insult to
John P. Altgeld will not injure him,
rather the contrary, but it Will forever
be a blot upon those who offered it
to him.

TALES OF THE DAY.
A Third Reader story-condensed

Cincinnati Enquirer: L When James
and Henry went to work in the large shop
of Mr. Brown. the manufacturer it was
often remarked that Henry put in his
noon hour studying the action of the
various machines. and showed desire
to rise in his business.
James, on the contrary. spent all OF his
own time and as much OF his employer S
as he could pifer in teaching a little dog
to stand on its hind legs. turn somer-
saults and do other useless tricks. l
think any good boy can see the finish of
these two young men.
2 At the end of two years Henry had
risen to the position of foreman. and had
under his control men from two to four
times his age, while the idle and frivol-
Gus james was still in the wheeling-out
gang.
8. At the end of five years the large
shop of Mr. Brown had been closed by
the trust, and Henry was walking the
sidewalks on his uppers, while the shall
low-minded James was pulling an even
hundred plunks per week as sole. owner
and proprietor of Signor Giaccomo's Cele-
brated and Unique Troupe of Performing
Animals, and wearing octoroon diamonds
as big as hazelnuts.

THE TARIFF AND JAPAN.

The New York Tribune is of opinion
that duties which were considered just
right in 1890 are not sufficient now, ana
says that the point has been made
plain by the recent tariff hearings.
The menace" of japanese competition
is made the basis of this statement 1t
says the wonderful progress OF japan
in various branches of manufacture
within the last few years has revolu-
tionized in some respects the relations
between that country and others; that
many articles are now produced there,
including some of Importance, at d
cost so low that they can be sent TO
this country and largely sold here,
even if they should pay higher duties
than were sufficient seven years ago
to afford ample protection: that the
rate OF wages in Japan has not yet
been materially raised by the new de-
velopment Of industries in connection
with modern machinery Obtaining
the finest and most effective machinery
from this and other countries, and en-
ploying experienced men of the high
est skill to superintend the work, the
Tribune says japanese manufacturers
nave practically unlimited supply of
labor in some branches costing only
to is cents per day; and that they are
already sending TO this country large
quantities of products which displace
American labor. and according to tes-
timony given on Saturday last, can
place here, duty paid, watches at 50
which experts pronounce equal to 9TH
ers now costing $25, matches at $l.06
per 100 dozen. duty paid brushes, mat
ting, carpets. laces and leather goods
in great variety.
Last year the great Japanese bug
aboo was bicycles. 1t was said that
over there they were being made for
So, and that they were equal to the
best high grade American wheels. The
bicycle makers themselves soon ex-
ploded that silly notion. This year it
seems that the danger" is something
else-watches, matches, brushes, laces
and leather goods in great variety"
Let us see what the imDortatious
from Japan for the ten months ending
October. 1895, and October, 1896. were,
there being no official figures for a
later. Here is a table Of imports from
Japan for the ten months:

lands acquired from Indians by treaty
should not entitle their occupants to
any greater rights and privileges than
are given the occupants of other
lands Then if it is right to make
free homesteads TO a part of the peo-
pie, it is right to make them free to
all the people, while a strict sense of
justice would require that those who
have acquired public lands either by
presumption or homesteading should
have their money refunded TO them.
1t seems hardly probable that this
bill will receive the approval of the
president. But if it does, he should
recommend the enactment of law
granting to each occupant of home
stead a full complement of farming
implements. While it is at it, the gov
eminent should do the handsome.

are affected by it, is best ex-
planned by the bill itself, which is as
follows:
That all settlers under the home
stead laws of the United States upon
the public lands acquired prior TO the
passage of this act by the agreement
of the various Indian tribes who have
resided or who shall hereafter reside
upon the tract entered in good faith
for the period required by existing law,
shall be entitled to a patent for the
land so entered, upon the payment to
the local land officers of the usual and
customary fees. and no other or further
charge of any kind whatsoever shall
be required from such settler to en-
title him TO patent for the land COW
cred by his entry; provided, that the
right 10 commute any such entry and
pay for such lands, in the option of
any such settler and in the time and
at the prices now fixed by existing
law, shall remain in full force and
effect.
Provided, however, that all sums of
money so released, which if not re-
leased would belong to any Indian
tribe. shall be paid to such Indian
tribe by the United States"

TRUANTs FROM SCHOOL.

Yesterday the mother of a couple of
boys, aged u and years respectively,
was before the police justice charged
with violation of the truant law in not
sending her boys to school. The boys
seem to have been truant to quite an
extent. but the truant officer who tes-
titled against the boys gave it as his
opinion, apparently volunteered, that
the boys were fit subjects for the state
reformatory. 1t was not acted on.
There are worse things in this world
than truancy from school, no matter
how aggravated a case may become,
and one is sending a boy or girl TO a
state reformatory for truancy. That
is place where only those who are
almost bad enough to be sent to the
penitentiary, were it not for their
tender age, should be sent. No child
should ever be sent to a reform school
for truancy alone, no matter how great
a truant he or she may be. To do so
is to invite those very evils for which
education is supposed to afford a
remedy. The schooling a truant would
get in a reformatory is hardly such
as would COMPENSATE him or the state
for the loss of his other schooling
through truancy.
Truancy on the part of children of
school age is a very bad habit and
parents should do ali in their power
to prevent it. Firmness and gentle
ness on their part will usually accom-
plish everything in dealing with chill
dren, and there are few cases of truancy
that Will not readily yield TO them.
But the idea of sending any child to a
reformatory should never be enter
tanned except as the last hope for saw
ing the child from the severer discipline
and punishment of the penitentiary.
