No congressional Election.
Governor Cummins tonight decided that
he would not issue a call for a special cleo
tion in the Second Iowa district to elect a
successor TO Congressman Rumple. the
law is mandatory, but owing to the time
that would be consumed in giving the no
tice, which would have to be by publica-
ton, and in collecting the returns and
counting the vote, a congressman could not
take his seat until after the close of the
session, hence an election would be use
less. He announced that in view of this
there will be no election.

The Two City Ma gistrates.

The charges brought by the City Club
against City Magistrate JOHN o. MORT
and CLARENCE w. MEADE, which were
dismissed by the Justices of the Appellate
Division Of the Supreme Court on Thurs
day, did not allege that either of the
accused Magistrates was guilty Of official
misconduct or personal dishonesty. The
petitioners asked their removal on the
ground that physical infirmities made it
impossible for them to discharge the
duties of their offices, and that in conse-
quence their retention in Office was an
injustice to the city.
On the part Of Magistrate Mort it was
freely admitted by his attorneys that
he was SICK land it was stated that his
death was expected within short time.
Magistrate MEADE did not deny that he
had been too ill to attend to a Magis-
trate's duties, but produced evidence
tending to show that he will soon be able
to take his seat again; and in behalf Of
both Magistrates it was proved that the
other members OF the board had cheer
fully divided the labor of the court In
such way that the public did not suffer.
Thus it was shown that if any COM
plant was to be made of hardships aris-
ing from the inability of the two Magis-
trates to perform their duties it should
have come from the other members of
the Board Of Magistrates, and the petit
TONERS for their removal appeared only
as citizens anxious to save the city's
money.
The action Of the Appellate Division
Justices in dismissing the complaints
from the bench, and not by memoranda
written after consideration in chambers,
showed plainly that they had no SYM
pathy with the petition. One Of the
Justices let it be known that he and his
associates would be slow to remove
diving man from Office merely because
he was dying. The court plainly felt,
as the great majority Of the voters Of
New York felt, that the action of the City
Club was unnecessary and cruel.
Magistrate MOTIFS irascible temper
in recent years, due, no doubt, to the
physical infirmities which have now
reached so alarming state, has not
tended to make friends for him, but his
ability as a lawyer and his personal
honor have never been attacked sue
cessfully, in spite Of the efforts Of the
enemies he has made. Magistrate MEADE
Ia known to the public as humane and
experienced police court Judge Of tact
and resourcefulness.
Each OF these two Magistrates has given
the city good service in the past, and the
Appellate Divisions action may be ac-
cepted as a declaration that faithful
judicial servants shall NOT be kicked out
of their Offices merely because they suffer
from illness and the infrmities of age.

forester and the President of the United
States, who show them that it is for their
own personal interest no less than that OF
the country to take up at once the scien-
tific treatment of the forests.
Mr.. r. l.. MCCORMICK, president OF the
Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's Associa-
ton, shows how it has become necessary
in the trade to use more economic meth
dds in the forest and in the mill owing to
the diminution in lumber. He points out
how the black walnut and the black
cherry have vanished; how the white pine
of the North will be gone in ten years
and the yellow pine of the South will
follow soon; how poorer substitutes are
being used for the departing good woods
and how they must go too. He tells
again the story of the denudation OF the
region about the Great Lakes, and con-
cludes that we have reached the point
now when we are often unable to supply
the enormous demand for lumber which
we have fostered. We must look to the
production of second crop upon lum-
bered lands or prepare to stop numbering
when the first crop is gone And he
shows that it is the foresters who must
be called in to help.
The business side alone is brought for
ward by Mr.. CLIFFORD PINCHoT, forester.
in his address. 1t is perfectly obvious, !"
he told the lumber manufacturers, that
the supplies of certain kinds Of timber
are rapidly disappearing, that the lumber
trade is falling back year by year on
poorer material and longer hauls, and
that the question Of its continuance is
already demanding an answer" The
question l want to bring to you is simply
this: Is it worth your while, from COM
mercial point of view, to consider the
forest as a part Of your plant, and from
that point Of view should you cut off your
timber and let the land go back for
taxes?" And he showed them clearly
that the real question is whether you
will take the timber of in such a way
that when you have cut over the land it
will be in condition to go on producing
timber without further expense.
President RoosEvELT's address to the
American foresters takes naturally a
broader view, but Mr.. ROOSEVELT, too,
like the experts, hammers away at the
practical side of the problem He tells
the foresters that they must convince the
people that the prosperity of the nation
depends on the care that shall be taken
Of the forests. The forest problem, !"
he says, u is in many ways the most vital
internal problem in the United States. !"
The object of the forest policy is not
to preserve the forests because they are
beautiful though that is good in itself,
nor because they are refugees for the wild
creatures of the Wilderness though that is
good in itself" but the primary object is
the preservation Of prosperous homes.
The days Of trusting to nature are past.
We have squandered our forest patri-
mony. In future we shall have to raise
our trees, like all our other crops, by
painful toll. We are awakening to the
vital necessity of the forests, and this
appeal to selishness may succeed where
more patriotic reasons have failed

The Comforts OF the Trolley.

The trolley is on the way to become
universal in the United States. The
owners Of storm-swift steeds deplore or
swear at it. The votary OF rural quiet
seeks towns not yet penetrated by the
new civilizer. The citizens OF many
ancient and delightful villages fight
against it, But it is inevitable, as well as
mighty convenient. Trolley rides are
n favorite form OF amusement. Often
they lead through charming pastoral
regions, old shaded streets, pleasant
views OF coast and mountain. Trolley
vacations are sensible and cheap; and
the lines are now 80 extended and con-
tinuous in many parts Of the country
that trolley traveller may go far and
pleasantly with few breaks of his
journey and portages Of his baggage.
The folks in cities, compelled to ride
or cling in cars where the impenetra-
bility of matter is continually violated,
have small notion Of the easy voyages OF
the trolleyer for pleasure; and his pleas
ure is sought by some Of the companies
in a way unintelligible to the man in
cities pent. Out of the West, az usual,
come the Improvements which the
slower East picks up in time. Shall We
be jeered for speaking of sleeping cars
"a a pleasure? We know that men can
not sleep by mahogany alone, and that
all is not lower berth in this limited
and stuffy world. Still, it is possible to
build comfortable sleeping cars, and
they are necessary on the long trolley
lines. This summer what are said to be
the first interurban sleeping cars in
the world will begin to run between
indianapolis and Columbus, Ohio, dis
lance of 200 miles. The indianapolis
and Eastern line and it's allies form the
the longest interurban line in Indiana.
With the completion of links now build
ing, there will be an all-trolley " line
from st. Louis to Cincinnati and Pitts
burg; and these tall miles are nothing
to what is coming. From Upper NADIA
waska to Oneonta, from the Columbia
River to the Everglades, the interurban
trolley wheels will be spinning. There
will be gravity roads up all the Sierras;
and the few mountain lions that have
escaped Mr.. ROOSEVELT will be cut OF
in their businesses by this other iron
enemy, as strenuous, quick revolving
and continuous.
Interurban has a rather mournful
sound to ears conservative. For where
is the country? 1t is fast getting to be

all city and suburbs. Still, the change
must bring the downfall OF dialect.
That will be much to be thankful for.
Welcome, then, to the interurban
sleeping car. May it's porter be no
proud portere, but reasonably human
and civil; its berths be airy and hospita-
BILE to slumber. And now improvement
treads on improvements kibe. Again
Indiana carries the torch Of progress.
The Union Traction Company OF that
State will put on buffet cars in septem-
Der. The chairs will be large. The
food and drink will be as good as-let
us hope several diameters better than
everything offered in the railway
diners These cars will stop only at
county seats. They offer the happy
Hoosier the comforts Of home-the cock
tail, the breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner
supper. Is the effete East not to know
these ornaments of trolley travel?
According to despatch from Ander-
son to the Indianapolis Ne,ps, the Union
Traction Company is besieged with sug-
gestions and propositions for building
cars of almost every class Doubtless

Canadian Railway Development.

Our Canadian neighbors are busily
engaged in discussing considerable
extension of their railway system. The
purpose of the proposed extension is the
opening up to settlement Of their vast
areas which now lie idle and valueless
from lack of transportation facilities.
In these various plans and projects
the people of the United States have a
more important interest than is gener-
ally recognized, and it is much to be
hoped that the American view Of them
may be based upon broad lines. A mar
row understanding Of Canadian indus
trial development sees in Canadian
progress only a menace of serious COM
petition to American agricultural in
terests. This is as unwarranted as it is
unworthy. The broad view is the true
view. The more rapid the increase in
Canadian population and the greater
the increase in Canadian production
the better will it be for US as well as for
them. Nothing short Of the erection Of
a very high spite fence along the bor-
der could prevent this mutual advantage.
This is fully illustrated in the experience
of recent years. Danger to our inter-
ests if there were any, would lie along
the lines OF agricultural produce and Of
animals and their products. Reference
to the records show that in 1897 Canada's
export trade in these items amounted
to a total of $57,22s,OOO. Five years
later, 1902, they represented a value of
500, $4,000, an increase of about 20 per
cent. No complaint has been made of
any injury whatever to American inter-
ests. On the contrary, our Northwest
ern millers in particular would quite
welcome large increase in Canadian
wheat production, and not few Of them
would gladly see the removal of our
tariff on the article.
Notwithstanding the enormous in
crease in our own wheat crops and in
those of Canada and the Argentine, the
market has not been glutted, and ex-
perts declare that no danger whatever
exists of any overproduction. 1t is ~es-
timated that, by reason Of diversified
farming in our wheat areas, it will not be
many years before our wheat exports
will be greatly lessened, if they do not
cease entirely. Looked upon in that
light, Canada may quadruple her W heat
crop, 6OOOO,0O0 bushels of the best,wheat
in the world for the year 1902; she may
gridiron Saskatchewan, Alberta and
Athabasca with railroads; dot tho 500, 900
square miles of territory which lie i'm
mediately eastward of the Rocky Noun
tains with hamlets, villages and the
farms of thrifty settlers; and no other
result is possible than that the tide of her
prosperity would overflow her borders,
very much to our advantage. This
would be more emphatically the case il
the natural currents Of trade were I'M
restricted. The more people there are
in that section and the more prosperous
those people become the more they will
want Of our Eastern and Western made
farm implements and various household
utensils.
The development of that section will
not be and cannot be instantaneous
The lines must be built, the settlers must
be brought in and farms brought under
cultivation decade at least must
pass before any great change can pos
sibly occur, and by the time that notable
