The Sail Will Hold the Sea.
New York World.l

The launching at Quincy, Mass, of
a seven masted schooner, built to car
ry 5000 tons of coal, is not the first
recent indication that steam will not
drive from the sea the white canvas
that graces it so we'll
Thirty years ago it was assumed
that the sail was doomed Steam
ships were constantly increasing in
size and economy of operation and
freight rates were failing; square rig
ged ships or schooners of the then
prevalent two masted type could not
be made much bigger without so add
ing to the size and weight of the sails
as to make them hard to handle. A
familiar example is the enormous
mainsail of the yacht Columbia, with
thirty men hauling at it. Sixteen
men, all told, handle the sails of the
new schooner, though she is almost
400 feet long. No one of her cloths
is, singly, as large as the Columbia's
mainsail, and steam winches are used
for hosting them
Thus, the sail instead of being van
quished, makes steam its slave; and if
economy of traffic is promoted it is
no light additional advantage that a
picturesque element in the beauty of
the sea is not to be lost.

There is. cry of alarm for the
preservation of our forests in the spec
ial report on the lumber industry of
the country just issued by the CEN
sus bureau. The report states that
for many decades the lumber trade of
this state was of much Importance,
but since 1890 it has begun to decline,
owing to the practical exhaustion of
white pine, although spruce and hem
lock are still found in large amounts.
The figures for half a century show
the value of the states lumber pro-
duct as follows: 1850, $618,O65; 1860,
$901,519; 1870, $3,525,122; 1880, $3,-
25S,S16; 1890, s6,95S.674; 1900, $6,1S1,-
sos. The woodland of the state is
estimated to have an area of 5000
square miles, or 43 per cent. of the
area Of the state. The only estimates
of standing timber are those of Prof.
G. s. Sargent, who estimated that
in 1880 there were 755,000,00 feet
standing, an amount less than half
that reported in 1900.

The Brandon Union has turned it's
batteries upon the three men of that
town who signed the call for the Demo
cratic caucus. Two presented them
selves at the late Republican caucus,
declaring they were Republicans and
demanding the right to vote. The
right was not denied them and they
voted for Clement delegates. The
Union says that if the third signer of
the call is "known by the company he
keeps" he is under suspicion" The
query of the old Tweed ring in New
York naturally arises What are you
going to do about it?" But echo
answers the question. The board of
strategy evidently got in its work in
Brandon-and Brandon was not the
only town.

The caucus in Brattleboro to elect
delegates to the Republican conven-
tion was carried for the Clement tick
ct by a large number of men,
whose Republicanism was open To
question. They were challenged, but
upon avowal that they voted the Re-
publican ticket in the last state cleo
ton and that they agreed to support
the nominees of the state convention
this year they were allowed to vote.
How are these men going to meet the
situation as it exists today? Either
by voting for Mccullough or by going
back on their words. 1t is hoped
they will give evidence of the same
zeal in voting at the state election
they showed in getting into the eau

Leadership Wanted.
[St. Adams Messenger

This is not the time to juggle with
words as a temporary makeshift for
keeping the peace. We have had
enough "straddling" in this campaign
already. 1t is time for unequivocal
pronouncements and unequivocal
deeds. 1t is a time for leadership.
There are unmistakable signs that
some parts of the Republican party
are opposed to the referendum plank
and will do their utmost to prevent it's
being carried into execution. There
are unmistakable signs that another
element in the party, while nominally
accepting the plank as a party pro-
nouncement, will not lift a finger to
help redeem it as party pledge. It
is just this uncertainty about the ex-
ecution of that platform that is in
fluencing good men and true to lean
toward the leadership of Mr.. Clement
in default Of stronger leadership
within the regular organization
Where is the man who should lead and
where are his lieutenants who with
him can restore the confidence of the
wavering rank and file?

Mike Sabot, Hero.

Mike Sabot-the name is not high
sounding, but God grant that some of
us may, when the emergency comes,
act as bravely, as nobly, as self-sacri-
ficingly as did this little trap boy of
II, when disaster struck the Cambria
mine at Johnstown, Pa, and carried
death to over 100 miners. He was at
the mouth of one of the headings
when the explosion came. He found
himself unscathed and Immediately
rushed to the rescue of the falling
men beyond him. He dragged three
into a working that the afterdamp
had not reached, and to his help they
owe their lives today. Back he plunged
into the main heading and on to
more bodies. Faintness overcame
him, he staggered, fell and died.
When found his hands were still
clutching the clothing of the man he
had tried to raise when the noxious
gas overpowered him. 1t was not given
to little Mike to be greeted as a re-
turning hero, to receive plaudits,
praises, decorations, honors, but in
death he found glory. st. Marys
German Catholic church in Johnstown
was packed Sunday by those who had
heard the story of his gallantry. The
coffin was draped in pink and a pro-
fusion of flowers were strewn on top.
AS the cortege moved away from the
church there was not a dry eye in
the crowd which stood about, the men
with barred heads.

William Jennings Bryan's admira-
tion and affection for Grover Cleve-
land have found expression again in a
letter to the Tilden club of New York.
The ex-President is called a political
traitor who has brought odium upon
the party. Mr.. Cleveland can stand
this kind of talk better than Mr. Bryan
who continues to give evidence OF the
country's good fortune when he was
elected to stay at home.

About $4,OO0,0OO is added to the annual
pension expenditures by bill which was
rushed through Congress in the closing
hours of the session. One clause pro-
vides for the pensioning of those con-
federate veterans who changed their
colors and enlisted in the federal army
prior to January l, 1865. The beneficial
ries will be found chiefly In east Tennes-
see and North Carolina. Another clause
of the same bill provides for the PEN
sioning of deserters who enlisted again
and finally received an honorable dis
charge. 1t is evident that a good many
bounty jumpers could become benef-
claries under such legislation. Boun-
ty jumping was the regular business of
a certain class of disreputable men in the
last year of the civil war. The more
times they could desert and enlist again
the more money they made. Some of
them, of course, by the stopping of the
war, found themselves in the ranks and
thus secured discharge with honor 1t

The question of the hour is "Will
the Democrats endorse Clement" De
mocratic party leaders like McGet-
trick, Moloney and Senter are op-
posed to such endorsement, but a great
part of the rank and file seem in
favor of going to Clement. If the
Democrats nominate a strict party can
didate majority may be lacking for
any candidate and the election may go
