a plea for the Pine.

The DEMOCRAT. -
A pride in ones native fora should lead
to an appreciation of the tree most asso-
ciated with the history of the state. Yet
in the western part of New jersey the
common yellow pine is becoming very
scarce. Even in suburbs of old towns near
the pine belt one rarely sees them. This
pine, under cherishiDg conditions, is as
capable of being symetrically developed as
any other ornamental tree. Its great green
umbrellas are agreeably disposed to an apex
of soft curves, pleasant feature in the
landscape, when other trees have lost their
foliage.
The Tesinous aroma it yields makes it q
desirable acquaintance, vertically it is tree
for the healing of the nations.n Ia the
pines at Lakewood, a weary brain is being
restored TO its normal condition, they, in
turn, are ministering to that mind that has
led the world captive with song and story
Kipling. Already the fire fend has begun
its annual devastating work, which dis
truction an organized system of protection
for the forest, would in a great measure
prevent.

Why Commission Postmasters7


On December 10, 1895, Benz. F. Sweeten
was. with the advice and consent of the
Senate, appointed postmaster at Glassboro
by President Cleveland for a term of four
years Mr. Sweeten has acted under that
commission until few days ago when Pre-
sident Mckinley commissioned Mr. l.. w.
Sickler postmaster al Glassboro, until the
next session of the Senate Ia the three
and half years that Mr.. Sweeten has
been no complaint ct his efficiency, indeed
commendation has been showered on him
from all patrons of the Office, without re-
gard TO party, and so prompt and exact
have his settlements been that an inspector
has never visited his Office. One of the
mysteries at Glassboro is the cause of Mr..
Sweeten's removal another is, Of what
avail is commission for a specified term
even when stamped with the solemn seal
of the President and Senate Of the United
States There is no mystery about the
source of the attack on Mr. Sweeien as a
man and official il is well known to be
the full measure of Congressional and In
ternal craftsmanship. but there is some
what Of mystery as to why pOstmasterS are
commissioned for q specific term and sealed
with Presidential and Senatorial approval
if they are Of no avail against political
highwaymen during the term they are In
force. The people Of Glassboro have 9
deep interest in this case. They want even
handed Justice done, and are going to have
It, II not nov some other time.
