paign of 1900, when the country Is
menaced and the Republican party Of
Delaware in greater danger than ever
before in its history the Union Repub-
lieans Of this state desire to prove
their allegiance TO the National Repub-
lican party and also TO secure Repub-
lican supremacy in the state. Therefore
laying aside rights and considerations
to which we feel we are entitled and
preferring the result 10 the method We
to-day, by making sacrifice, which
only the general welfare OF the Repub-
liean party can demand, take the ini-
Itiatiye and so far as lies IN our power
to close the gap that disunites and
weakens the Republican party IN our
state and which II not done. would re-
Isult in certain Democratic victory. 1t
Is our aim and desire that the Republi-
lcans in this eventful year Of 1900 shall
present an unbroken front TO our old
enemy, and with a glorious victory IN
our state and country begin brightly
and brilliantly the first pages OF our po-
litieal history in the new century. For
this reason, wherever II is right for the
Union Republican 10 strengthen the
Republican forces It will be done. We
cannot permit factional lines and inter
ests to be stronger than our desire 20
defeat the Democrats.
BY continued division in New Castle
county, and without common prima-
ries, we recognize the fact that the Re
publicans cannot possibly elect either
district, county or state candidates. We
have been hoping that the Regular Re
publicans in Kent and Sussex counties
would show as strong a
desire to defeat the Demo
Gratis in Kent and Sussex as we do
in New Castle We have been hoping
that what would seem fair for one side
in one part OF the state would be JUS
as fair in any other part of the state
4 Since, however.-st appears that tina
faction having most loyalty for the Re
publican party must make the first sac
rltice. we are to-day going to lay ou
offering on the Republican altar.
We therefore agree to-day that Their
shall be held in New Castle count,
q common primary. and that the sue
cessful candidates, whoever they ma,
be, shall be accorded and given the ac
tive and earnest support of all Reput
lieans regardless Of past factional affili
ations. Whatever may be the ulterio
motives attributed TO us by our Demo
ratlc opponents. we declare IN all hon
ssty and candor, that the one and sin
, gle motive and object we have in view
this and whatever else we may do &
this campaign, is for the sole purpOs
Of OVerthrOWing the Democracy in tn

the native apple, the various fiber
plants as the wauke and mamake, the
chief tapa plants, and the olona, famous
for fish lines. Olona lines have been
known to pass through three genera
lions Of fishermen, and be as tough at
the present day, as they were when
first used.
Then come the ferns creepers, MOSES
and so forth which attain to perfec-
tion in these forests. The species of
ferns run into the hundreds, from the
daintiest of Maiden hair, hiding itself
in little nooks to the rough creeping
fern which requires to be chopped with
an AK in order to force a pass through.
These smaller plants, ferns, MOSES
and so forth which cover the ground
under the covering of the large trees
are undoubtedly of the greatest impor-
tance in helping the water supply and
in the general economy of our forests.
They keep off the rays of the sun from
the roots of the trees and from the soil,
so that the moisture is retained. More
over as they are short lived, the older
plants are constantly dying down and
adding to the rich vegetable mould from
which spring the young plants, which
in their turn die down. They add an
unfailing food supply to the rootlets of
the trees whose tender shoots their
shade protects from the ardent rays of
the tropic sun.
There is probably more damage done
to the forest, through trampling down
and destroying this carpet or verdure
than there is directly by eating the
young trees and attacking the large
trees. Cattle and horses do not directly
attack the larger trees, they prefer the
soft wooded ones, the papala. The goats
and the deer are the direct foes of the
large trees as they often gnaw the bark
from the hardest trees and of course
destroy them
Above the rain belt on our high noun
tains, there is forest generally much
more uniform consisting of koa, ohia,
mamani and naio Bastard sandal
wood and it is in this region that the
finest true sandal wood still exists. AS
one ascends the trees become stunted,
their place is taken by shrubby plants,
woody geraniums and ohelo, then final
ly one issues on the bare lava slopes,
bleak and desolate and lifeless.
What we want especially to preserve
is the forest of the rain belt. This is
the most important to us. This belt
used to extend much further down than
it does now. In many places the forest
rain belt is steadily disappearing owing
to the depredations of cattle, horses
and goats, both directly and indirectly,
and 20 these must be added the van
dalism of man. In some places the
rain belt has entirely disappeared, and
where springs could be found there is
now nothing but an arid waste, the heat
from which repels the clouds, ready to
yield rain from their termd bosoms,
where before the cool air of the forest
attracted them and they poured down
abundant moisture.

OUR FORESTS.

The large trees of general distribution
on the Islands are the koa, ohia, kukui
and in many places, the ohia-ha A
few others like the kauwila, which at
tain large size, are rare and others like
the aEakea only grow to large size To-
cally. There are no very big trees, no
thing corresponding to the largest ones
in equatorial forests, which grow high
above those that equal in size tie

trees here are equivalent in size to those
of second grade in equatorial forests
OF the smaller trees those growing
beneath the koas. ohias and kukuis
there are extremely numerous species
and nearly all peculiar to the Islands
Amongst the commonest of these are
the soft wooded trees called papala
which are much destroyed by cattle and
even horses. The list of these and
kindred trees is very large. The lobe

genera and over fifty species are most.

Each HURLED INSULTS
Angry Scene Between Senators
Penrose and Gallinger.
AROSE OVER THE QUAY CASE.
Charged One Another with Telling What
Was Not Propositions to Fix a
Time For Vote to BE Considered TO-
day other Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-"I assert
most emphatically that when the sem
ator says | told him | should not speak
on this subject, he does not state the
truth f"
This was the sensational retort made
in the senate by Mr.. Gallinger Rep, n.
H. TO statement just made by Mf.
Penrose rep, Pa
Senators were astounded and the
auditors in the galleries quiyered with
excitement. There had scarcely been
the slightest intimation that tie debate
would take such turn. For nearly
three hours the senate had had under
discussion the bin appropriating $2,095,-
900 for the benefit of the people Of Porto
Rice Mr. Fairbanks (Ind.) had just
concluded some remarks on the meas
ure and suggested that the senate pro-
coed to the consideration Of executive
business.
Pending a motion to that effect, Mr..
Penrose, who has charge of the case of
former Senator Quay, suggested that a
time be fixed for a vote on the case. In
the course of his remarks, he intimated
that certain senators were throwing OBJ
stacles in the way, and indicated that
Mr. Gallinger was one of those sem
ators.
Mr. Gallinger quietly replied that he
desired to be heard ON the question, but
had not had al opportunity to speak.
70 this statement Mr.. Penrose retort-
ed that the New Hampshire senator had
assured him that he did not expect to
speak on the Quay case.
Instantly Mr.. Gallinger was on his
feet and, with evident feeling and with
great vehemence, replied as above
quoted.
II do not know whether { do not
speak the truth, holly replied Mr.. Pen
rose, ''or whether the senator from New
Hampshire failed to tell me the truth. y
Mr.. Gallinger retorted that the whole
proceeding of NJ. Penrose was I'M
manly and beneath his notice.
The proposition to fix time for a
vote was postponed until today, but it
was some time before the excitement
subsidized.
The debate on the appropriation bill
developed a decided difference of opin-
ion, as Mr.. Jones Dem, Ark offered
as substitute for the measure bill to
return the duties to those who had paid
them and providing for absolute free
trade between the United States and
Porto Rico.
The bill had not been disposed of
when the Quay case v S called up Mr..
Wellington rep, Md J: presented an
elaborate argument against the seating
of Mr. Quay, and the remainder of the
session was consumed in the discussion
of the constitutional questions involved.
