Holland" the New York CORES.
pondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean
says that the situation in New York
looks very much like the election Of
Seth Low over Tammany by very
handsome majority. Up to last Satur.

ard, but close canvass of representa-
tive districts revealed some very sur
prising features, and showed that the
people there are very much aroused.
If things continue to run along
through next week, as they have fol
the past four or five days, he predicts
the election of Seth Low by a good
substantial majority. Justice Jerome
the fusion candidate for district at
torney, is said to be making a grea
campaign, one which is causing Croker
much worry.

A Minneapolis paper is trying to
make out that Gov. Van SAINT is hedg-
ing on the question of calling an extra
session of the legislature next winter.
1t is not plain to see where the gov
ernor has much opportunity to hedge
yet. If the tax commission makes it's
report, as authorized by law, it is
pretty safe to say that Gov. Van SAINT
will fully comply with his promise
and call the Legislature together to act
upon it, and the tax commission some
time ago took the public into it's con-
fidence to the extent of saying that its
report would be ready on Jan. 1st or
very shortly thereafter. Certain it is
that the legislature can give the mat
ter much better consideration at an
extra session, when other matters are
not engrossing its attention, than ii
could at a regular session, when there
would be so much other business be-
fore it. The letter to a Representative
of the st. Louis exposition is hardly
a fair basis for the assertion that the
governor will fail to do his duty in
the matter. The governor has not as
yet shown himself to be that kind of q
man.

In commenting upon the growth OF
state forestry matters the Pioneer Press
says: I'm giving to the state fores-
try commission of Michigan some 30,
900 acres Of denuded timber land. D.
A. Blodgett of Grand Rapids has SET
an example which could be followed
not only without loss but with prob
able profit to themselves, through the
saving of taxes, by number of gen
tlemen in Michigan. The agricultural
and other journals of the country have
so effectively spread among the people
the knowledge of the fact that cutovel
pine lands are almost always practi
cally worthless for agriculture that
whoever now dreams of disposing Of
such land to farmers is away behind
the times. By turning them over to
the state he becomes a pnblic benefac-
tor. The people of Michigan seem to
have very generally awakened to the
fact that the proper destiny of such
areas, and the only one promising any
advantage to the state, is their devo-
ton to forestry. According to the
American Lumberman, it is probable
that upward of 1, 600, 900 acres of land
in the central part of the lower PENN
sula will be devoted to forest growth
and in time add largely to the re-
sources of the state. -
