ing Present.


Washington, Dec. THE session of
the House lasted only half an hour to-
day. Mr.. Overstreet of Indiana in
charge of the finance bill, attempted
to reach an agreement for its consi-
deration next week, but Mr.. Richard
son, ON behalf of the minority, reject
ed all proposals, on the ground that a
bill as important as this should go
through the regular channels.
The speaker thereupon appointed the
committee on rules. which is to include
himself, Mr.. Dalzell Of Pennsylvania
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio, Mr. Richardson
of Tennessee and Mr.. Bailey of Texas.
They will hold meeting tomorrow and
decide upon a rule for the limits of the
debate. which will undoubtedly con-
sumo the whole of next week

tive, despite the adoption of the Taylor
(Ohio) resolution, which in terms de-
prives him of his seat during the pen
dency of his case in committee, was in
the hall throughout the session and
occupied the seat he selected on Mon
day.

Frank M. Heath Said to Be a Strono
Candidate for the Chair.

1t is generally admitted that Frank
NJ. Heath will be the next president of
the common council. Mr.. Heath will be
the Oldest member from point of SER
vice in the council next year, and his
friends say he is the strongest man for
the place. Councilmen John E. Ian

talked of as possible candidates, but
unless sentiment changes within the
next few weeks, there seems a practi-
cally unanimous sentiment in favor of
Mr.. Heath.

know what would develop He had no
interest further than to purify poll

though twice he looked like "quitter."
The bout lasted the limit of rs
rounds. Bernstein's second claimed
that Joe was not in the best of condi-

VARIOUS OPINIONS. |
THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

Minneapolis Times:
There is possibly inthe English Ian
guage no more forcible or elaborated
example of shrewd and steel-tipped
argument than yesterdays speech of
William Mckinley, which with all its
potentiality for harm or happiness,
for the greater glory OF our nation or
endless embodiment in the discords
of the world, is to day emblazoned
for eternity on the scroll of our COM
mon history. AS
keen and polished as rapier
blade, every well-wejghed sentence
pierced the curtain of uncertainty
which for eighteen months has hung
before the purpose Of the powers who
hold the reins of government and dis
closed to the country, all agape, the
administrations determined atti-
tude. Every word was stone which
builded a wall of demarcation
between the opposing political part
les.

tion of American sovereignty over

the Philippines. The speech had
evidently been carefully prenared.

the Philippines. The speech had
evidently been carefully prepared. \
There was not dissenting
note to the presidents declaration
that the Philippines should be re-
tanned. On the contrary the senti-
ment met with a swelling tide of ap.
prevail, from soldiers and citizens alike.
There can be no doubt, from the re-
ception which the president and his
speech have met with in the west,
that bis Philippine policy is heartily
approved by the masses of the people.
Minneapolis Journal:
And significant thing was that
this clear, positive declaration in IA
vor of the retention of the Philippines
and the adoption of governments tai
policies for the purpose of carrying to
the people the enjoyment of our own
institutions to the fullest measure to
which they are able to enjoy them,
was received with instantaneous and
tremendous demonstrations of ap-
proval, com ng both from the soldiers
themselves, who had just come from
the Philippines, and from the audi
ence at large. The favor with which
the presidents mastery presentation
of the expansion idea was received
must have indicated pretty clearly
even to our unsympathetic governor
himself that the people are with the
president on this proposition.

FORESTRY IN THE UNITED
STATES.

The matter of forestry is attracting
more and more attention in this coun-
try, and as our great forests continue
to disappear, it is bound to attract
still greater attention, and be follow
ed in more practical manner. The
Chicago Times Herald commenting
upon forestry matters in this country
remarks that the more one investi-
gates the forestry laws of other ma
tions, the more deeply he will be i'm
pressed with the amazing dereliction
of our own government ia this regard.
To this the Duluth News Tribune
thus replies:
"True, but ones amazement will be
tempered by the reflection that age
and experience have come to the ma
tions that have adequate forestry
laws, whereas this nation is at that
age when. like young man, it thinks
it knows it ALL Like the yong man,
too, it can learn only by experience.
Advise is wasted.
Necessity, which is the mother OF
inv entiOp. is also the mother of fOreS.
try. Human nature has been the
same in all ages. Where there were
plenty there was waste. Only when
timber became scarce was an intelli.
gent effort made to save what re-
NAMED and to grow more.
lin countries that have adequate
forestry laws there are not so much for
ests as this country has held, and still
holds. Our timber has been wasted
because there was such an abundance.
We shall have as good forestry laws as
Germany when necessity drives US to
it, not, we think, before that time.
New England was stripped of it's
pine years ago. Some Of the New
England state have recently enacted
forestry commissions, which, had they
existed fifty years ago, would have
saved timber, time and money.
"Still forestry can replace the for
ests that have gone, to a large extent
at least. A second growth pine is as
good as a first growth when age has
come to it, though there is popular
fallacy to the contrary. Every acre
of pine land in the country today can
be numbered on without destroying it
as forest; but the cutting must be
done intelligently, not in the slash
ing. reckless and wasteful manner of
the modern lumberman."
