SHEEP GRAZING.
Agricultural Department Issues a Pam

Agricultural Department Issues a PANE
phlet ON the Subject.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The agri.
cultural department has just issued an
interesting pamphlet on the subject OF
forest growth and sheep grazing in tho
Cascade mountains of Oregon, prepared
by Frederick V. Colville. Discussing
the question Of forest fires in the Cas-.
cade reserve, it says those of the pres.
ent period are by no means confined to
the sheep.grazing areas. Parts of the
southern Cascades, i'll which sheep
have never grazed, have been found to
be riddled by fires, and, in general, for.
est fires increase in the reserved region
proportionately to the increase of hu.
man occupancy of all classes. 1t is clear
as the result of careful Inquiry, the
pamphlet says, that at the present
time, most sheep herders are extremely
careful not to allow their campfires to
spread and not to set fire Intentionally
though it is unquestionably true that
in the early days of sheep raising, there
was a positive belief among sheep men
that burning of the forest was a posi-.
tive benefit to the industry. Under
the general head of remedial measures,
a number OF suggestions designed to
formulate a satisfactory system for the
regulation of grazing in the reserve are
made. The steps proposed include the
exclusion of sheep from specified areas
about Mount Hood and Crater lake,
the limitation of the sheep to be
grazed i'll the reserve to a
specified number based on the number
customarily grazing there; the issuance
OF five year permits allowing owners to
Craze on a specified tract, and limiting
the number of sheep to be grazed; re.
quiring that owners use every effort to
prevent and extinguish fires, and re.
serving the right to terminate the per-
mits under certain conditions, and
securing the cooperation of the Wool
Growers associations Of Crook, Sher-
man and Waco counties in alloting
tracts. If the wool growers decline to
accept aud cooperate in the proposed
system, it is suggested that the govern.
ment exclude sheep absolutely from the
reserve. and if, after five years trial.
forest fires continue unchecked, exclude
sheep thereafter.

Washington dispatch. %: President
McKinley's message which accompanied
the report Of the Maine board of inquiry
sent to congress is by no means satls-
factory to a majority of republican con
gressmen. While many will not say for
publication what they think, those who
freely discuss the message are not a bit
backward about saying that it is a weak
document. A good many say in private
that it will greatly injure the admins
tration before the people and bring
about the defeat Of many congressman
in republican etrongholds this fall.

Chicago Record. -: The approach Of
the torpedo squadron from Spain is
causing the authorities more concern
than the Maine report. for, while the
latter Is a matter that may be dealt
with at leisure and is entirely under our
control, the tlotIlla Of twelve little boats

these torpedo boats could sail around
and strike the leviathan on any quarter
Just as a wasp could sting an OK. They
cannot work IN rough water, but the
sea around Key West and Dry Tortugas
Is comparatively smooth. The ships are
anchored SIX miles from land, and there
Is no protected harbors in which they
could take refuge. OF course it would
be possible for a battleship to destroy a
torpedo boat with its guns. but it would
have to fire very rapidly and accurately,
and these little things do their work in ,
the night.
The government officials regard the |
approach of the torpedo boats as an un-
friendly act, inasmuch as they cannot
possibly be used against the insurgents,
and their presence can only be construed
as an intention on the part of the Span
lsh government to resist whatever may
be done by this government concerning
Cuba. But at the same time while we
are making war preparations as rapidly AS
possible we cannot expect Spain to lie
idle.

TELLER'S RESOLUTION IN THE
HOUSE.

The indications now are that the
house viii deal with the Teller resolu-
ton Monday. 1t is very desirable that
the house does express, by direct vote,
its opinion on the resolution. 1t ap-
pears that some of the Republican
members of the house are apprehensive
that any delay in dealing with the reso-
luton would give the silver senators
en- undue prestige. Whatever prestige
the silver senators may gain from the
passage of the resolution VIII not be
taken away from them by the action
of the house; their prestige is their
own and VIII remain with them.
II the house takes up the resolution
Monday and summarily dfsposes of it
b. rejecting it, it viii be pretty strong
evidence that the majority of that body
is fearful Of its effects on the country.
1t is not at ali probable that any ex-
tended debate viii be permitted, yet if
the Republican majority believes that
the sentiment Of the country IS with it
on the silver question, it should invite
discussion, rather than seek to curtan
or suppress it, for the reason that dis

untenableness Of the position of the

Bat whatever the fate Of the resolu-
ton in the house, and whether there be
discussion or no discussion, a vote by
the house viii serve to make more
clear and definite the issue Of the
campaign of 1888.
There IS no possible chance that the
house wiz adopt the resolution. but it
is not at all improbable that the vote
ia favor Of it VIII be considerably larg-
er than generally anticipated. 1t is
certain that the gold men in congress /
are much put out by the passage of /
the resolution, even # they are not
worried or alarmed.

worse than not going to school, it only
makes them worse than they would be
if they ran the streets. The inmates
of the reform school, as a rule, are
such as would be in the state prison
were it not for their years. Does any
one with grain of common sense
think a truant boys morals will be
improved by sending hirn to associate
with these young criminals? No boy
or girl should be sent TO the reform
school save for an offense that would
cause them 10 be imprisoned in a coun-
ty jail or the state prison were it not
for their years. 1t is a fine idea, isn't
II, to instiil into the minds OF young
children that they must either go to the
public schools or the reform school? If
truancy is accompanied by such con-
duct that the law must be invoked to
suppress it, parents being unable to-
then let truant be sent to the reform
school, but for mere truancy it should
never be done in the world In this
matter of truancy. teachers are often
as much at fault as pupils, and the
teacher or other school official who is
ever wanting to invoke the aid of the
courts is scarcely fitted for work in the
public schools.
We would not encourage truancy, but
mere truancy is to be preferred to send
ing truants to the reform school If
Judge Norrell had any discretion in the
matter of committing young Malquist
to the reform school he should have
suspended sentence Indefinitely, unless
the boy was an incorrigible
In this connection we would suggest
that, if the Office of truant officer is to |
be continued, woman be appointed to |
it, instead of a man. This has been |
done in several cities and with good /
results.

THE LINING Law INDICATED.

If anyone ever had any doubt as to
the wisdom Of the legislature in enact
ing the mining law, all such doubt
must have been dispeIled by reading
the evidence in the case of Monk.
charged with forgery. The evidence
there addUced showed how easy it was
under the old system of recording title
70 mining claims, to becloud and alter
utles' in fact, the evidence in that case
al went 10 show that the old system
put premium on rascality.
The really surprising thing is that
those engaged in the mining industry
were content to suffer so long under
the old system as they did. The title
to property worth millions was con-
stantly put in jeopardy by negligence
and carelessness, if not by rascality.
Records were always liable to be lost.
while if a recorder were so disposed
he had it in his power to blackmail
prospectors and mine owners at his
pleasure. And we have known of cases
where jobs for this very purpose were
put up.
1t has been said that the old recording
system was all in favor of the miner,
and that the new law is all against him.
The very reverse is the case. The old
system was in favor Of the recorder
more than anybody else; and his inter-
ests should be considered last.
The gentlemen who interested them
selves in getting the present mining
law enacted, and the legislature that
enacted it, did a great and signal serv- |
Ice TO all engaged in mining, and they
deserve their gratitude. There are
some who denounce the law and try
to make the miners believe it is against |
their interest. The miners should not /
be deceived by them. The miners have (

SENATOR LINDSAY.

Whatever Senator Lindsay's attitude
on the financial question the Kentucky
legislature is presumptuous in calling
upon him to resign his seat in the SEN
ate. He makes very proper reply when
he says that he was not elected by the
present legislature, and that he does not
represent it, but his state He was
elected for six years, and should con-
tinue TO sit for that time. It not in
frequently happens that the public SEN
timent of a state changes two or three
times during a senatorial term, but il
would hardly be proper to ask a SEN
ator to resign every time public opin-
ion changed. And before a senator's
term expires it may veer around to him
again.
A trouble with our politics is insta-
biity and changefulness. and if once
the policy now demanded by the Ken
lucky legislature We're adopted it would
only be aggravated. 1t is true that
Senator Lindsay is classed as a gold
man. but even that is no reason why
he should resign any more than a sill
yer man should, should the legislature
of his state change. There has only
been Gre test vote on the silver cues
ton during the present congress, and
that was on the Teller resolution; and
then Senator Lindsay cast his vote on
the right side. The Kentucky legis-
lature does not aid the silver cause bv
It's course towards Senator Lindsay.

WoRDFN,s CASE.

Governor Budd. of California, has re-
spited Worden, the train wrecker. He
was TO have been hanged on the 18th
Of February.
During the railroad riots in the sum-
mer of 1894, when the whole country
was in q state of upheaval there were
many outrages committed. Among
them was the derailing of a train in
California bearing United States sol
diers. Several were killed. Worden
was tried for the offense, found guilty
and sentenced to be hanged. The
crime of which he was convicted was
deliberately committed, and with NAL
ice aforethought; it was an attempt at
wholesale murder.
Worden has been tried and found
guilty, and why shouldn't he suffer the
full penalty OF the law? If ne does
not, it viii be an encouragement to
train wreckers all over the country in
times of riot and upheavaL Worden's
crime was of the same class as those
of the Chicago anarchists who caused
the Haymarket murders: it was
prompted by the same spirit and had
the same purpose.
But why has he been respited2 Prob
ably because ex-President Cleveland
and E. Y. Debs have asked that he be
pardoned. That Mr.. Cleveland should
have asked that he be pardoned is in
deed an astonishing thing. for the
troops that Worden attempted to muir
der We're travelling in obedience to Mr..
Cleveland's direct orders, and to sup
press riot. That Debs should ask his
pardon is but natural.
It is urged in Worden's behalf that
he was misguided and made a tool of
by others. And if this be So what of
it? Supposing he had been misguided
and made a tool Of to lie in ambush
and shoot some man, would that have
made him less guilty of murder?
Worden has not been pardoned, may
not be, but if he should be it would
disgust people generally, because it
would be another example of leniency .
to law-breakers and murderers, and it
would cause people TO have less regard

A SOCIETY MASQUERADE.

No doubt the doings Of New York So
ciety are very interesting to New York
society people, hut they are not to any
one else, yet the Associated Press sends
out a long account of a masquerade
given by some member of it never
heard of outside his own little set. 1t is
told that "one hundred and seventy-five
of the elect" danced in his Louis XVI
ball room. and what characters certain
ladies represented. 1t is all simply
disgusting. OF what earthly use is New
York's elect society anyhow? It
spins not, neither does it toll, nor is it
ike the lily of the field. Ii is moth
ing but an aping of English society
and these accounts of it's doings are
sent out for the guidance and delecta-
ton of provincial society. The coun-
try at large holds New York's elect"
society in contempt, and doesn't care
whether it dances or it dies.
1t is said that Signora Crispi. wife
of the ex-Italian premier, has set a new
fashion in Italy by appearing at out
door festivals accompanied by a tame
calf, which is covered with a richly
gilded coat Of vellum with ribbons. and
which follows her about like dog. New
York's elect" society is nothing more
than a gaudily bedecked tame calf fol-
lowing Europe's aristocracy's fashions.
