the murderer OF Cobcl was has

The extent 10 which righteous
public indignation can be turned
aside and the people fooled by .
leadership lacking sincerity Is
shown by the Folk treatment OF
the outrsges committed at the
democratic primaries In st. Louis
on March IL last. Respectable
citizens were assaulted by machine
plug-ugllcs for attempting to cast
a primary vote, and rufian intimi-
dalton was boldly practiccd. with
the police looking on rs partners
Of the Indians. There was a hot
protest from the democrats who
believe In a fair ballot. They had
a public meeting and schcmcntly
denounced the lndian-policc out
rages. A few days later Mr.. Folk,
referring to the primary infamics
at st. Louis and Clayton, declared
that "thcrc may be political liberty
In Russia and China, but there Is
none In st. Louis" Mr.. Vandiver.
the Folk manager, said at the
same time that "if Mr.. Halves
should be made governor all the
vicious elements Of the state aud
all the brutality ands:sbarbarism
which still crop out In the human
character would hold high earn
ival, while common dcccncy and
civilized society would be lost In
the maelstrom."
Let the gaze now he turned on
the sort Of rctribution that Folk
represents. Folk, HAYES, vandi-
yer, Cook aud the old machine
generally have now clasped hands
In mutual Endorsement and selfish
political fellowship. Folk had a

L. Hall on the forests of the Hawaiian
Islands Following are some extracts
LIMITS OF THE ORIGINAL
FOREST.
Originally the forests were limited
/ only by such natural conditions as lack
of rainfall, elevation and lava flows
| The northeast trade winds keep the
| windward mountain slopes saturated by
frequent rains during the greater part
| of the year. and on these slopes, at
] elevations of 1900 to 5000 feet, where
| the rainfall is greatest, is found the
| heaviest forest Towards regions of
| lessened exposure to trade winds and
| decreased rainfall the forest becomes
| thinner and of poorer quality, and on
| leeward, where the rainfall IS in places
| less than go or 40 inches per year, there
| is often no forest at all Probably the
area which originally bore no forest
because of insufficient rainfall was quite
large, for it is certain that all of the
important islands now have large tracts
to which no trees of the native forest
are adapted.
Elevation has put sharp limit to
the forest on the islands of Hawaii and
Maui at from 5000 to 5000 feet This
leaves very large areas of Mama Loa,
Mauna Kea, Hualalai and Hafeakala
devoid of forest, and they have always
been so. The nlon aims of the other
Islands, begin unde, 5000 feet, are
forested to their SUBMITS. Six to eight
thousand feet is a surprising low timber
line, considering the favorable condi-
tons of soil, moisture and temperature
which prevail at that altitude in Ha-
wa1i.
The sufficient reason seems to be that
the species composing the native for
ests are all representatives of the torrid
zone. and in these islands, which lie
right at the edge of the tropics, find
their limit at the low altitude named
On the slopes of Mauna Loa, lava
flows have put sharp limit to the for
est in number of places. The flow
of 1881, which ran from near the top
of the mountain almost to the sea, cut
a wide swath through dense forest
for fully fifteen miles. Many previous
flows had resulted similarly, and while
the forest is slowly replacing itself on
the older flows, hundreds of years are.
required for the lava to decompose
sufficiently to support normal growth
of forest. Many thousand acres which
once must have been well forested are
now surfaced with lava rock (pahoe-
hoe), and support only meager
growth of fern and stunted trees.
Slowly this rock is decomposing, and
as it decomposes the forest improves.
RAPID DECADENCE OF THE
FOREST.
The above were the chief agencies
restricting the forest up to about FOO
years ago. Since that time various
deleterious agents have worked so eff
fectualiy toward the destruction OF the
woodland that every forest in the is
lands has been reduced until now it is
only fragment of what it was origin.
ally. The Island of Molol1ai well illus
trates this point. This island, .38 miles
long by miles wide, has range of
mountains over 1000 feet high at its
eastern end, drops to low plain in
the. center and rises to 1880 feet near
