& FTER THE New York state
~ legislature appropriated $2,-
" 600 for the state forest pre-
serve, the New York fish
cries, forest and game commission re-
quested the division of forestry of the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton to examine it's lands, and to sub
nit recommendations for the manage
ment of the forests. Accordingly the
work of investigating the forest con-
ditions in the preserve began in June,
and the completed working plans ar.
to be ready for submission to the New
York state legislature by the first of
January, 1901. The beginning of this
investigation marks an epoch in the
forest history of the country. For the
first time the division of forestry will
cooperate in practical forest manage
ment with one of the state govern
ments. If the final report should lead
to the repeal of the forest clause OF
the Empire states constitution a large
public preserve will for the first time
in our history be put under skilled for
est management, and operated with
view. not only to it's permanent preser-
walton, but to the production of a regu-
lar revenue.
That clause prohibits any cutting or
utilization of the forest crop of the
preserve. 1t was adopted by a large
majority in 1894 as a constitutional
amendment its design being to pre-
vent for all time the capture of the
forest reserves by numbering interests;
and in 1896 a proposition to repeal was
defeated overwhelmingly. At that time,
however, the state had no machinery
for regulating the cutting in a scientific
manner. 1t has been thoroughly DEM
Onstrated in Europe, where forestry

turtles, that intelligent timber cutting
benefits a well managed preserve, and
also provides a considerable revenue.
The working plans for which the data
are now being gathered will amount to
detailed scheme for managing and
| harvesting the forest crop of an i'm
portant section in the preserve. They
will show whether or not a steady reve-
nue. can be drawn from the New York
preserve without diminishing its tim
Der yield in the future; and whether
| il is necessary or not to prohibit all

the forest. Their preparation will in
Yolve, first of all, an examination of

out what timber there is now on the
| ground, in quantity as well as in kind;
and, secondly, a thorough study of the
| possibilities of numbering on a sound
business basis: or, in other words, an
examinationof the forest trees from the
| lumberman's point of view, and of the
most profitable methods of marketing
the timber, Thirdly, it will necessitate
thorough investigation of the fire
problem, taking into consideration not
only the best means of preventing fires

only $1,000 to 10000 strong. without the 49,.
900 to 10000 Republicans in Kentucky we
can do nothing. With them for club we can
kill that rattlesnake."
John j. Beatin writes to the New York Sun:
"If one were to believe the Democratic press OF
the country he would be forced to come to the
conclusion that the Mckinley administration was
run entirely in the interest Of Mark Hanna &
Co. that the trusts and corporations controlled
affairs at Washington and that they were
making millions out OF it. But somehow or
other IL a person would only take the trouble
to read the annual report for the year 1859 of
the Hon. f. d. Kiburn, superintendent Of banks
for this state, and see what that gentleman
has to say Of the condition of the savings banks
he would soon he convinced that the money of
the country is not all controlled by trusts and
corporations. The report states that on January
/, 1900, there were 1,9sl,371 open accounts, Of
which number 40575 opened during the
year, an increase of 115,7lS over the preceding
year. The total amount deposited In the saw
ings banks during the year was $3.50, ,25s 2S7,P7,
an increase in deposits Of 713362s2 over the pre-
cedng year. The amount Of interest earned by
deposits during the year 1899 was 500, o5.
The average amount TO the credit Of each de-
positor was s447.ol From the above figures it
is very evident that, cursed by trusts and cor
poratons and the 'crime Of 49, the common
people Of the Empire State managed to store
away $3.50, ,25S 2s797. This is a poor year for
the calamity howers."
There is more truth than poetry in the re-
mark Of Canton correspondent that "when
the American capitalist working man is
prosperous, well fed and well paid, he cares
little for politics. and refuses to enthuse Let
him once get hungry, or need legislation at
Washington and both capitalist ard working
man are noisy and determined in the pre- si-
DENTAL contests"

one expects or desires II. We are GER
tain that General Shaw had no such
thought in mind. His idea, we will
be bound, went no further than a pro-
test at the prolongation of sectional
ism in any form. 1t is no longer per-
tinent to burden the mind with in
quiries as to which side in the great
conflict was right or wrong. Neither
side has anything more than a his
torical existence today. Neither side
had a monopoly of virtue. The great
majority on each side were honest and
conscientious. The decision fell in
favor of an indissoluble union and
Notwithstanding the hardships of war,
that weighed more heavily upon the
southern people than upon the north
ern, simply for the reason that they
were fewer in numbers and poorer in
resources, the advantages of that de-
cision today are as great in the south
as in the north.
In the light of this fact, very gen.
orally perceived, of what use is a pro-
longation of sectional bias? Let this
be put away Let the dead past bury
its dead. Let every face be turned to-
ward the common future and let every
energy be exerted toward the fullest
realization Of it's benefits.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

The total foreign commerce Of the United
States during the fiscal year 1900 exceeds by
l6 2.3 per cent. that of any preceding year, be-
ing $500 900 greater than that of 1899, the
heaviest ono on record preceding the one which
has just ended. The total commerce Of the year,
as shown by the figures of the treasury bureau
of statistics is S2,244, ,5i3. The exports are
81 1894, ,470,2l4 Sl63, 900 in excess Of those
of 1893, which held the record of the largest ex-
ports until the record Of 1900 was made All of
the great classes show an increase in eXporta-
tion: Fisheries 100000; mining and forestry,
nearly Sl0OO0,0O0 each; agriculture, nearly Sj0,-
100000, and manufactures nearly SlOO, 900 900
over the phenomenal year 1899.
Imports are also heavy, especially in the class
designated as "articles in a crude condition
which enter into the various processes of do
nestle industry" OF the fve great classes OF
imports, articles in a crude condition for use in
manufacturing show by far the largest growth.
Manufactures show a gain of about $40, 900, 900
over last year; articles Of voluntary use, lux
uries, ETC., also about 900; articles Of
food, about $l5, 600 900; articles wholly or par
TALLY manufactured for use in manufacturing,
s25, 5000 and articles in a crude condition
which enter into the various processes of do.
nestle industry over s75,ooO,OoO.
The most notable features of the years com.
merce are: First, the increase in imports OF
manufacturers materials not produced at home;
second, the increase in exports Of manufactured
articles; and third, the fact that the foreign
commerce for the first time in the fiscal year
record crossed the 50 2OOO.OOOO 900 line Imports Of
manufacturers materials form, in fact, nearly
one.haf the total importations II we consider
as manufacturers materials the class "articles
wholly or partially manufactured for use as
materials in the manufactures and mechanic
arts" They alone amount to about 100000, 900,
while "articles in a crude condition which en-
ter into the various processes Of domestic indus
try" amount to over $780, O00 Thus the
manufacturers materials imported during the
year amount to about S4OO 900 out Of a total
Of Ssi0, 900. In 1890 manufacturers materials
including both classes-artices in a crude con.
dition and articles wholly or partially manu-
factured for use In manufacturing-formed SS per
cent Of the mports in 1895 they formed 81
per cent; in 1896, 81 per cent; in 1885, AZ per

FROM THE CHINESE MINISTER
Editor Of The Tribune


Dear Sir: Your letter Of the 10Th instant is
at hand enclosing a clipping from The Tribune
calling attention to a statement by the Rev.
DIR. William Ashmore relative to the present
disturbances in China. lie is reported to have
said 81 believe the entire foreign legation at
Pekin has been killed. and the responsibility for
this killing is to be found in the deceit and
cunning Of the Chinese minister at Washington"
All that have got to say is that through these
weeks Of trouble l have used my utmost en-
dcayors to serve not only my own country,
but also the United States 1t is rather sur.
prsing, not to say dscouraging, for man to
find that, notwithstanding his honest efforts
to perform his duty under trying conditions, the
basest motives are imputed to his best actions.
OF course, there are blackguards in every coun-
try, as there are black sheep in every fold.
1t is eninently unjust to charge the guilt Of q
few persons upon the whole nation. l am
clined to think that DR.. Ashmore has passed
his fifty years of missionary labor among the
black sheep in China; his opinion of the other
classes of the Chinese people must be taken
with large gram OF sat l. therefore, freely
forgive him for what he has already said about
me. I feel sure that the good people of this
country, at least, are ready to give me credit
for what | have done to preserve the existing
friendly relations between the two countries.
am glad to see from the editorial you are good
enough to send me, that The Tribune is one
Of the fair.minded papers which are willing to
accord me justice.
Thanking you for your kindness in shis matter,
l am very truly yours,
WI Ting Fang.
