VII, Rseomnsnd | Change.

In an extract from his forthcon. ing biennial report, State Land Con- missioner Colquitt calls attention to the inadcquacy of the present law to prevent the cutting of timber from state lands, and recommends that the law creating the office of timber inspector be so amended as to allow the inspector to ap- point competent and reliable man as special deputy (the state to pay him reasonable salary for his seryices), whose duty it shall be to devote his whole time to reliable man as special deputy, the state paying him reasonable sala- " for his services, whose duty shall be to devote his whole time to looking after the lands of the state. As provided for at present, if is cl:.imcd the remuneration is not suf- ficient to induce good men to accept the duties of inspector in the va rious counties. hence it is difficult to secure convictions.

McKinley's free-silver speeches in Ohio in 1892 and his fierce de nunciation of Cleveland for the demonstration of the white metal should convert any gold bug, while his outline of our plain du- ty" ill regard to Porto Rico, and Senator Hoar's scathing arraign- ment of the policy of forcibly re- taining the Philippines, are telling arguments against imperialism.
