rURpEs7IsE FORESTS.

ton to the tremendous depletion Of the
pine forests OF the South and says the
time viii come when the products OF
that tree will be enormously valuable.
Norfolk was once the central point Of the
tar. rosin. and turpentine Industry. Now
1t has gone to Florida.
The time indeed was when there were
numerous tar kilns near Richmond.
There is a piece OF land near Mechanics
vile which we wot of that is known as

What the remedy for the preservation
of these forests is the Commercial does
not explain. We suppose. however. that
what it has said is intended to be a
warning to the operators to be more care
full; in short. not to kill so many trees.

former interferences in that quarter have
been accepted, to say nothing of the fact
that it is by no means certain that under
our construction of the Monroe doctrine
we are not obligated to the other powers

and We see no reason to apprehend out
side complications. The case is this:
Communication across the Isthmus is.
seriously threatened as the result of the
disorders in Colombia, and in order to keen
IT open. we have sent strong force to
the scene. The Colombian government
by existing treaties with us, is pledged to
give us free traffic from ocean to ocean.
and in return the United States guarantee
the neutrality Of the isthmus for traffic
and the sovereignty of Colombia over it.
This sovereignty guarantee applies, of
course, only as against menace from q
foreign power, and since the present trou-
bles and disorders are internal and the
integrity of the State Is not threatened.
1t is argued that We are treading on deli
cate ground.
However. re have trodden the same
ground before without provoking any SEE
rtous protest from the other powers. We
have in similar circumstances forced the
maintenance of free traffic, and in thus
protecting our rights, which the Colombian
government was unable to protect, have
cared for the interests OF our European
friends. The theory OF tionali.ts, to
the contrary Notwithstanding, that We
went too far. and overstepped treaty
bounds, there has been disposition 10.

THE NEW VOTING LIST.

The old registration list is d thing of
right Of suffrage must register anew; but
Il ere is this satisfa ction about it-those
Who get on the list now get on to stay!
There their names viii remain perna-
II ntly.
Registration was begun in Richmond
yesterday and will continue for some
time to come, but our voters would do
well to acquaint themselves with the
hours and days appointed for this work
II. the several precincts
The simple fact that you are veteran
or the son of a veteran will entitle you
to register. You will have to pass no
examination. That Is all sufficient. Or
you may register If you pay annually 81. 90
in State taxes on real or personal estate
No examination is demanded here either.
Read the standing notice which pre-
cedes this article, headed who May Reg
tster?'
Don't trifle with this duty, but go ahead
and do it. Your time is limited; the
sooner you act the better:
We reiterate the expression of our re-
Erct that the making Of a new registra-
ton list was not seized in every section
OF the State, for making a roll of sur
viving veterans. But it is not too late
to make such roll in Richmond, Henri
co, Manchester, ETC.
Every man who is entitled to vote be-
cause he is veteran should set up that
claim. and ~" or Vet put next to
his name will be all the recording that
will be necessary.
Had the idea occurred sooner, the new
books might have been ruled SO as to
give each veterans name and company
and regiment; but even now in most
cases, 1t is not too late to put the vet"
mark against the names Of those voters
who claim that proud title to citizen
lhip.

The publication of the ironclad oath
taken by the nineteen members of the ST.

needed to make the story of municipal
corruption in that noble American city
romantic even in it's villainy. The man
ner In which the boodlers swore before
the Almighty God" not to reveal combine
secrets and to accept d tn: from the other
members in case of betrayal, places them
quite in the rank with the old pirates Of
the Spanish main. And all Of this do
solemnly swear, SO help me God''-such
was the conclusion of the oath. Why is
it that the most Infamous rascals take
their VOWS in crime with an appeal to
the Almighty to sustain them in plumber
ing other people? No more absurd con-
tradiction could be conceived. The ST.

fore Instead of invoking the devil. their
logical patron, they always turn to the
