A GOOD EXAMPLE.

Kansas is setting a good example to the people of the west i1 the mat ter of tree culture. Her people will plant 100000 trees this spring. The purpose is ito counteract forest de- structioH If an equal number of trees are planted each year it will not be lc1g before Kansas will have ceased to be known as a prairie state. The ex- ample of the people of Kansas might well be followed in other western states. The increase of forest lands, where trees can grow, will obviate the most essential difficulty in the way of regular crops in prairie states-the lack of rain. It is generally admitted that where forests are abundant there is always plenty of rain. Had the people of Kansas planted trees thirty years ago, in thorough and abundant manner, instead of packing in few cottonwoods in one corner of the farm to comply with the homestead laws, the state would be weaithier and more regular in it's crop productions today

THE PRESS DESERVES CREDIT.

With a few notable exceptions to the proposition, the newspapers of the United States have acted most admir- ably and conservatively during the war scare through which the country has been passing for the past two or three weeks. The exceptions, of course, are the yellow journals that have been screaming for war before we have ascertained whether we have any cause for war.
 The great majority Of the American papers have advised calmness and make it's report as to the cause of the Maine disaster. However much ex- cited the correspondents may have be- come and however startling the vari- ous stories that have been published, editorially, where only the papers speak for themselves, there has been dignified discussion of the situation and no disposition to rush to war with out just casus belli As a whole, the press of the United States has been remarkably self constrained under the circumstances and has unquestionably reflected the more intelligent and con- servative thought of the nation.
 Large numbers of journals there are that feel that the United States have had every reason for recognizing the Cubans as be1ligerents and for pointed intimation to Spain that the inhuman methods of her warfare in Cuba must be stopped. Recognition of belliger- ency, however, and insistence upon Spain's pursuing the war according to modern humane regulations and ceas- ing to starve and butcher non-com- batants, can not be internationally re- garded as cause for war. But if Spa;n should feel disposed to interpret such interference by us as hostile acts, the blame and the consequences would rest wholly upon her.
 Large numbers of American papers there are, also, that have no patience with that blooded declaration which has often been heard, that ''the Cuban war is no affair of ours" and that to intervene in any way would be an unjustifiable act on our part. We are virtually affected by this con- f1ict in Cuba. Still we have not yet had any legal cause for going to war with Spain, so far as the country knows, and noisy clamor for an act of recognized hostility by congress is not generally representative of public sen timent. What a day may bring forth at this juncture no man can tell, but the great bulk of American newspa- pers can feel that they have acted only in consonance with the demands of the situation up to this good hour. With all our freedom of speech we have been as conservative as any press in Europe would have been under the cir cumstances- fact, we have set Eu- rope an example of moderation.

We are surprised that the Herald should meekly accept the imposition practiced upon it by the Gazette Six days in the week the Gazette coolly ap- propriates the telegraphic matter that appears in the Herald each preceding night, without word of thanks to it's accomplishing neighbor. But for the Herald the Gazette might as well be printed at Frog Tanks or some other desert point not reached by the tele- graph. In the interest of journalistic decency we suggest that the Gazette whack up with it's evening standby. Telegraph tolls are high

OUR SPECIAL DELIVERY.

Now that the South Side service has been brought to a high state of efficiency The Republican will direct it's attention to other portions of the valley. The day is not far distant when this newspaper each morning will be delivered by mounted carrier to its patrons living within a rad- fus of ten miles from the Repub- lican office.

We are confident that ex-Auditor Leitch does not know of the movement now under way to secure his appoint ment as a member of the capitol com mission. If he had any suspicion of such a movement in his behalf un- doubtedly he would put a stop to it. Has he not declared that no member of the Gazette staff is seeking office, and that his business is to publish the news, not to hold office" We are surprised that friends of his should be so inconsiderate as to even men, tion his name in connection with the capitol commission.

The Gazette has charged this news paper with about every sin in the cal endar so that we are not surprised at the latest fool declaration that The Re publican is party to a scheme to se- cure fuel monopoly in southern Ari- zona, and that The Republican, in stead of the general land office, has declared mesquite to be timber. This is the Gazette's way of getting even with The Republican for publishing exclusively the startling news that the general land office has sent an agent to Arizona to confiscate mesquite now cut and to prosecute all who shall cut mesquite wood from the public lands. Our green-eyed neigh bor may always be counted on to dis play its anatomy in cases of this kind, although the exhibition is neither classical nor healthful.

Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras May Soon Be
 Consolidated

Washington, Jan. 3.-The complete con- solidation of Nicaraugua. Salvador and Honduras into sovereign republic is pro- gressing steadily, according to advices re- ceived by Senor Correa, Charge DAffairs of the Greater Republic of Central America. Senor Correa is advised that the diet has completed constitution for the greater republic, with full legislative powers, and that notice has been sent to the presidents of three countries forming the union that the constitution is ready to be passed uopn. The next step will be to convene a con- stitutional assembly with twenty delegates from each of the three countries to pass upon the constitution. The assembly is expected to be held during the coming spring
 Senor Correa has advices from Nicaragua as late as December 16, stating that an ami cable adjustment had been reached between Nicaragua and Costa Rica over the im- prisonment of the Costa Rican consul gen. eral. It was feared at one time that this arrest would lead to war and there are renewed reports to this effect, but in view of his official advices Senor Correa feels sure that the incident is satisfactorily closed.
 The charge has received official in- formation on the reported uprising in Sal vador and for this reason is inclined to dis credit the stories of serious trouble.

GOLD GALORE.
Nuggets and Dust Brought From the klondike
 by Steamer Corona.

Port Townsend, Wash, Jan. 3.-There was $62545O in gold dust and nuggets on the steamer Corona which has arrived from Alaska The treasure on the steamer was carefully guarded on the trip down by two watchmen day and night. Some of the nuggets weighed as high as fifteen ounces. A man named J. Davidson, who says he halls from Cripple Creek, Col, has a nugget that weighed fifteen and a half ounces. One of the drawers in Captain CarrolTs room was packed with nuggets of all sizes. In addition to this amount there was considerable more carefully tied mp in sacks among the returning Klondiksrs. From a careful estimate it is safe to say that in drafts and gold dust there was about $1,2O000O in wealth aboard the Corona.

REAL ESTATE OFFERED.
Inspector Schaack Will Give S20,000 Worth
 For Mrs. Luetgert.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-In the Luetgert murder trial today attorney Harmon, for the de- fense, followed the motion that the case be taken up and Luetgert released on the ground that the brief session of the court was illegal The motion was overruled by Judge Gary. No evidence was taken at today's session of court.
 Inspector Schaack has made a verbal off, fer of $2O 900 in approved real estate to any person producing Mrs. Luetgert, dead or alive. Attorney Harmon. of the defense, has complained that he is only prevented from producing Mrs. Luetgert by lack of funds, and Inspector Schaack, it is said, chose this method of rejoinder. He also hopes to thus put quietus on the reports from various parts of the country that Mrs Luetgert has been discovered.
