THE CoUNTRY's FORESTS.

The many articles that have recently
been written concerning the Vanderbilt
estate in Nprth Carolnia, recalls the fact
| that this is the first attempt at system
attic forest management ever made in
| America. Much talk has bsen INDUCED
in by our lawmakers as to the advisable
ity of the Governments creating de-
partment of forestry for the preservation
OF our forests, but so far little or nothing
has been done. The very abundance "of
our timber has become it's greatest
menace. Apparently the supply is mex
haustible, but So great are the inroads
that are heing made upon 1t, so increas.
ing are the demands for Timber, that
unless some systematic plan Of replacing
the trees cut down be adopted, the day is
not far of when we will see ourselves as
a nation destitute of what was once ours
In an abundance never known to other ma
tions of the world.
In the height of his luxury and eXtrav-
agant excuses, Louis XIV used to say to
Madame de Pompadour, in speaking of
France, "After us, the deluge,' and in
our criminal extravaganza in the destruc-
ton of our forest lands we seems to say
sit will last our time" never thinking in
our selfishnt So of the heritage we are
leaving to those who are to come alter
us.
When we stop to consider the amount
of timber that is annually used for fuel,
for bnildingspurposes, for boxes, for pulp
commerce and of home need, ana remem-
Der that to replace this enormous draft
upon our woodlands, nothing more than
natural recuperative agencies are being
employed, we must see at Il glance that
1t IS only "A question of time when the
supply will become exhausted.
In addition to the above causes for the
destruction Of timber, we must not for
get to take into account the vast conila-
grations that annually sweep our forests,
destroying in week what it would take
quarter Of century to replace. Again,
OF late years, q species CT insect has made
revages upon our coniferous trees, and SO
blighting has been the effect that for
mile after mile sections of the Blue Ridge
Mountains are to be found where it is
scarcely possible to find a Giving confer.
We are not in position to say how eX.
tensive is the habitat of this insect, but
we believe it to be far. from locnl, and GER
taiply of sufficient Importance TO demand
Intelligent investigation. In portions of
Europe, notably in France and England,
there is nothing that receives more at
tention than forestry. Whenever tree
is felled. another is set ont to take its
place. And only such timber maybe cut
as is directed by official permit. all ..reck

against.

surgents and' the Spaniards must agree
to it. But the expectation is in this case
that the United States may be induced
to recommend to the insurgents to con-
sent to cessasation of hostilities, and that
it may have influence with them to bring
about the acceptance of the recommends
tion.' But tho temper of the insurgents
is so defiant and their hopes of complete
success is SO high that there is little like
hhood that we should be able to induce
them to stop fighting unless we could give
them substantial assurance in advance
that the armis tice should be followed by
the concession of the substance at least of
what they are contending for. If we
could prove to them that Spain was
to let herself down easyily and that her
intention was finally to get out OF Cuba
we would have no such trouble in getting
them to consent to cease hostilities. But
without proof to that effect the chances
would be against success.
The insurgents would be likely TO take

prepared to operate than the Spaniards
would be distinct loss to them and a
corresponding gain to their foes. They
would point out that if undisturbed for
six months the Spanish troops would be
in much better condition to take the field
when the rainy season ended than ifcon-
stantly harrassed, that the Spaniards
would save much money, and that their
own army would be likely to melt away
during this long period of inaction, SO
that if the war should be resumed they
would be in worse condition to carry it
on and the Spaniards in better on
account of the respite. An armistice,
therefore, without promise that it
should end the war and secure to them
what they have been fighting for, would
be, in all probability, impossible .of ar
rangement.

The Spanish verdict that the Maine was
blown up by an interior explosion rests
chiefly upon the facts that no dead fish
were found after the explosion and that
no column of water was thrown up. APP
parently the Board called no witnesses
and made no examination of the wreck ex-
cept of the most superficial character. 1t
found what it intended to find, what in
fact it was appointed to find, a verdict
that would throw the entire RESPONSE
bility fof the explosion upon the Ameri-
cans and completely relieve Spain of any
obligation. It.was shrewd move on the
part of the Spaniards to raise question
of fact which might be argued over and
arbitrated. But our Congress is evident
ly in no mood for parley, and the Spanish
report will get very slight attention from
it. Everybody in this country believes
that the report Of our board was con-
scientiously made after an exhaustive in
quiry with the sole intention Of arriving
at the facts of the case and that its find
ings are absolutely unimpeaohable. That
being the case public sentiment will de-
mand that our casesrest upon that and
that alone, and will brook no attempt to
set it aside directly or indirectly.
