GROWTH OF FORESTRY IN THE
UNITED STATES.

The merging of the Indiana Forestry
Association into the new and enlarged
organization of the International So
ciety of Arboriculture, which took place
at Connersville, Saturday, afforded an
opportunity to the secretary of the old
association to review the work that it
has done. There is abundant encourage
ment in the report, for further effort.
With the renewed attention which va
rious states and the general government
are giving to the subject, the efforts Of
such associations as this, will be made
easier, and we may hope for an exten-
sion Of knowledge on the subject to
awaken popular interest. One practical
extension of tree planting, it seems to
us, could be made by providing that
trees should be planted along the high
ways and by ways Of the state,as part of
the road work. Thus millions of trees
could be planted, and yet no land needed
for farming encroached on. And we
should in time get the advantage that
comes from the great growth of trees,
besides having roads that in summer
time would be shaded.

the death of the system"
eff we expect the economic suprem-
acy we are claiming, we must be lib
eral nation," argues the Philadelphia
Times (Ind.) "When our own tariff
tricks are turned against us, we shall
have not only our manufacturers but our
farmers also to reckon with. If we ex-
pect to trade with other nations, we
must at least show our willingness to
let them trade with u.s..
eff we add to the army of nearly one
million pensioners the soldiers in the
field, the sailors in the navy, and the
great array of names borne on the civil
list, it will be found that about one
person in ten Of the adult male popula-
tion of the country has direct pecuni-
ary relation to our paternal federal gov
ernment," notes the Philadelphia Rec
ord (Ind. Dem). "The proportion of
taxeaters to taxpayers cannot be much
further enlarged without grave dam
GER"
Judging from what the president said
on his recent tour, the Boston Evening
Transcript (Rep.) is inclined to believe
M Jules Siegfried's report of his talk
with the president, wherein the latter
said that he was not now the extreme pro-
tectionist he once was. It cannot under
stand why Mr.. Hanna should contradict
it. "Many people," it adds, 'regard
Mr.. Hanna as if he were all the govern
ment, and sometimes Mr.. Hanna
acts and talks as if he were
himself laboring under this delusion."
"Thirty-fve years ago the Northern
states turned the government of eleven
Southern states over to ex-slaves and
outsiders, when 95 per cent. Of the ne
groes were illiterate and unable to take
care of themselves, much less to control
state intelligently,'' premises the De-
troit Tribune (Ind.) "This dangerous
error did not cause half the alarm in
the country that is now exhibited over
granting the limited rights of terri
tory to Porto Rico and the Philip
pines"
"The supreme court has said that
everything in the settlement of the colo
nial relations of the country depends
upon congress, and he must be an unin-
telligent student of affairs who fails to
appreciate what this means," the Boston
Herald (Ind.) says: "It means that the
attention Of the people must be alb
sorbed in the policy which congress is
to create and establish. 1t is to be set
tied as to whether that policy shall con-
form to our character as republic, or
shall be that of monarchy towards
subject peoples"

facturers' association publicly refers to
the tariff policy as selfishness for which
the country may be punished, and de-
clares that that as result of the SEN
ate's failure to approve Of reciprocity
the beginning of free trade-the posi-
tion Of the people is 'humiliating'
Fifteen years ago manufacturers did
not look on the tariff in this light
"To belittle the tariff issue is out of
the power of the McLaurins and other
more or less disguised protectionists in
the democratic camp who are seeking,
with the Hanna steamship subsidy
scheme, to put a new cornice on the edi-
flee of spoliation," says the Philadelphia
Record lind. Dem.) "The democratic
party is the party of tariff reform, and
the issue is ready at hand for the next
congressional campaign. There can be
no averting the conflict unless the re-
publicans in the next congress shall an
ticipate it by substantially revising the
tariff on the plan of Representative
Babcock.'
"It thus appears that everybody inter-
ested in the case-the republican lead
ers in the house and senate, the demo-
cratic leaders in the house and senate,
the eminent counsel for the importers
and against the administration, the emf
nent counsel for the administration and
against the importers all of these ap-
parently differing gentlemen seem to be
pleased with the decision, and unani-
mously in it's favor" comments the San
Francisco Argonaut (Ind.) "In short,
the only persons who seem to be
dissatisfied with the decision of the su-
preme court, and inclined to question
it's soundness, are the justices of the
supreme court"

he found the front door unlocked and

ie that tho thief concealed himself in
the store before it was closed, rs there
was no evidence of force being used to
open the door, which had been secured
by bars on the inside. No clew has
been found as to who the thieves were.
There must have been more than one.
as one alone could not have carried off
the amount that was stolen. Mr..
