Ship Subsidies.

The condition of the American merchant marine is such as to call for immediate remedial action by the Congress It is discreditable to us as a nation that our merchant marine should be utterly insig- nihcant in comparison with that of other nations which we overtop in other forms or business. We should not longer sub init to conditions under which only a trif1ingi portion of our great commerce is carried in our own ships. To remedy this state of things would not merely serve to build up our shipping interests. but 1t would also result in benefit to all who are interested in the permanent es-

nc AmcrlCdn r oFeSt. -
 Public opinion throughout the United States has moved steadily toward a just appreciation of the value of forests. whether planted or of natural growth. The great part played by them in the creation and maintenance of the national wealth Is now more fully realized than ever before. sf Fet 8,
 Wise forest protection does not mean the withdrawal of forest resources, whether of wood, water or grass. from contributing their full share to the wef- fare of the people, but, on the contrary, gives the assurance of larger and mora certain, supplies. The fundamental idea of forestry Is the approximation of forests by use. Forest protection Is not an end of itself; 1t is a means to increase and sustain the resources of our country and the industries which depend upon them- The preservation of our forests is an im- perative business necessity. We have come to see clearly that whatever de- stroys the forest, except to make way for agriculture threatens our well-betng.
 The practical usefulness of our national forest reserves to the mining, grazing, irrigation and other interests of the re- gions in which the reserves lie has led to a widespread demand by theypeop,e of the West for their protection and exten- sion. The forest reserves wills inevitably be of still greater use in the future than In the past. Additions should be' maAa to them whenever practicable, and their usefulness should be increased f'by a thoroughly business-like management.
 At present the protection of the forest reserves rests with the general land office, the mapping and description of their timber with the United States geologi- cal survey and the preparation of plans for their conservative use with the bu7 reau of forestry. which is also charged with the general advancement of practi- cal forestry in the United States. rheaa

THE COMMITTEE
 GETS EVIDENCE New York Fifteen Reformers Now Propose to Cause a
 Sensation

New York, May 14-Justice Jerome has a check endorsed by one of the men who are supposed to be responsible for al- legged protected gambling in this city. To- day for the first time the justice de- scribed the nature of some of the evil dence found in the recent raid on place on East Fourteenth street.
 He declared that the committee of fif- teen had found in this gambling house the memorandum of a large payment of money to man prominent in this city, and that this memorandum consisted of the check mentioned which had been en- dorsed at the time of payment by the man referred to.
 The justice was asked what he thought the income of police captain was. He answered.: Tt all depends on the precinct In one raid evidence was found to indi- cate that $2500 was paid. There were ten gambling houses In that precinct. Multiply the money by ten and you have $25 ,O00 year as what could be consid- cred a gratuity."
 Justice Jerome was asked what amounts he thought were paid for ap- pointment to a captaincy. Prom $18,000 to $25, 5,O00," he said "Of course, this Is only an investment, and the amounts they receive are gratuities."

OMINoUS ASPECT.
Hot Dispute Between the Mason Build
 CTS and BrickIayers.

New York. May 14.-The Herald tomor- row will say
 Matters assumed an ominous aspect yesterday in the dispute between the Mason Builders Association and the Eighth Local Bricklayers' Union. The builders say they would stop work on all the important building operations in the city tomorrow if the bricklayers don't re- turn to work today on the buildings that are being put up by Thomas J. Reilly.
 The bricklayers say their members will not report for work today.
 With the cessation of work on building operations from 5000 to 5000 bricklayers win be thrown out of employment and also all other mechanics employed on the buildings. The suspension of work will thus affect from 10000 to 50,OOO workmen.
 Indirectly, however, 1t may affect from 150,0O0 to 100000 men. In fact, both brick layers and builders admit that nobody can foresee the extent of the labor trouble when it once is started.
