THE WAR AND THE REGULARS.

D EFORE the country begins to give more atten- h ton to the proceedings oi dipomatlsts and A-> statesmen arranging terms ot peace than to the actions of the soldiers and prosecuting the war it IS but right and fair that due credit and honor should be given to the part played n the con fct by the of the regular army. They have been to some extent overlooked thus far, and the average citizen reading daily of the deeds of the vol unteers has probably hardly been that the reg uars all along have been doing their share of the fighting.
 It was natural and inevitable that the volunteers should receive far larger share of fame and praise than the regulars though both were engaged in the same work and performed 1t with equal fidelity and distinction This was due to the State pride innate in the citizens of every commonwealth in the Union As soon as the call for volunteers was issued the States began to vie with one another to see which would the soonest and most effectively fill the quota allotted to it. That fact led the newspapers to de- vote large amount of space every day the organ ization of the volunteer army. Next the troops were sent to the front State pride again compelled the press to give conspicuous notice to whatever accomplished by any regiment that represented the State in which the paper was published. In that way it came about that from the beginning of the war the deeds of the volunteers have been trumpeted through the Union almost to the exclusion of any record of the service of the regulars.
 The praise bestowed upon the volunteer regiments has not been greater than they deserved, but when one is praised and another equally deserving is neg lected an injustice Is done In the present case the injustice has not been of injurious character but none the less 1t should be corrected. The men of the regular army not associated with State prde the selection of their officers is not matter that rouses local interest their vaor in the field reflects glory upon no particular commonwealth and they are not objects of special interest to any community They have no following of jealous friends admirers and partisans to shout applause for everything they accomplish If they are to receive their due credit therefore it must come from all parts of the Union and be given with the ardor of national patriotism unaffected by any trace whatever of local feeling
 The volunteers have done well but the regulars after all have done most of the fighting They formed the backbone of the army that fought its way through the chaparra1 to Santiago and drove the Spanish foe from ambuscades and entrenchments Some of them are now marching with Miles in his picnic parade in Porto Rico, and others will be with Merritt when the struggle begins at Manila They, do not represent California or Georgia Maine but none the less they boys truly those.

THE PRESERVATION OF FORESTS.

| yHILE, despite the forest fires now raging, K many people of California continue in con N dition of indifference amounting almost to apathy with regard to the waste of the magnificent woods of the State public sentiment in the East is rapidly forming itself into resolue determination to protect the woodlands of that section Evidence of the growing interest in the subject III the older States abounds on every hand. Whenever op- portuny offers the leaders in this movement for for est preservation prompt to advance the1r argu- ments, and almost invariably these are given wide circulation and strong ndorsement by the press,
 An illustration of the general interest in the subject was given at the recent meeting of the American Paper and Pulp Association It was pointed out at the meeting that there upward of I2oo mills in the United States engaged in making paper from wood pulp, and that they consume annually about 100000 cords of wood This statement led to a consideration of the length of time the forests of the country would stand the drain, and Professor Fer non authority forestry, invited to address the association on the subject.
 The professor is reported by the Philadelphia Record to have submitted estimate that hardly more than twenty years supply of wood pulp ma teria1 is to be found in the forests of the North eastern States and that Canada could not contribute much to postpone the time when the supply must be exhausted. If we, therefore, continue our present wasteu method of dealing with forests 1t will go hard with the coming generation of Americans to ob- tain the woods they need for their industries.
 An easy remedy for the menacing evil exists if we choose to apply it. Professor Fernon says: Just as the mining industry only thirty years ago ried on in empirc way, without scien- tihc basis or direction while we'll edu- cated assayers and superintendents em- p1oyed everywhere the time will come when every of forest property will have learned that there is such thing forestry, which requires technical training, and which increase the product and property of forest area far beyond the unaded efforts of nature left to itself"
 | For the maintenance, continuance and reproduc- ton of forests the professor went to say it is not necessary that should resort to the costly method of planting trees by the thousand As proof of this he cited the fact that the magnificent spruce forests of Germany, which bear burden of from which from 6oooo to 8oooo board feet is timber, with 25o to $50 trees to the acre. have mostly been cured not by the planting tool but by natural seeding under the guidance of nature by skilled for esters
 The importance of this subject cannot be too often impressed upon the people of California. It is time for the issue be considered in this State one re- quiring immediate legislation. With the experience of the Eastern States and of Europe before us it will be folly of the worst kind if permit noble for ests to be wasted without making well directed effort to and improve them.
