amendment now before the Legislature ,ol 'ns
second time, permitting the removal ol oui l ~,
timber, be not submitted to the people, 40, eiie
reason that timber blown down OF iaieh I'm
decay might readily be converted llto oui 1t
timber If there were an object in securing !'s
removal, and that the danger OF nre Is the
worst danger TO which the forests can oe eA
posed. The Governor recommends that the
laws TO prevent trespass be strengthened anu
rigfdly enforced. and, in place OF the amend
ment referred 10. proposes an amendment per
hitting the sale of lands other than Wlid FOREST
lands now included in the preserve ana the
purchase with the proceeds thereon of other
forest lands" From that in his opinion, "a
more scientific delimitation of the forest pre-
serve" would result-an object repeatedly held
up as desirable by public officials in recent
years and undoubtedly worth attaining. 1t
seems clear from the Governors message that
he is also convinced of the prOpriety and wis
dom of changing the constitution so far as to
permit the adoption of a sound system of culti-
walton which would not only increase the nat
ural utility of the forests in their relation to
the water supply, but make them in time the
source of substantial revenue

just to say that even if Moukden proves to be
another Sedan, Kuropatkin will emerge from 1t
with reputation enhanced rather than impaired.
He will have lost everything save honor. But
what honor there is in having so stanchy de-
weary months!
How great the battle is in respect TO its re-
suits may scarcely be judged amid the tumult
and the shouting. If ii proves another Sedan, 1t
ought to do one thing which Sedan did not do.
1t ought to end the war We do not say 1t
ought to do one thing which Sedan did do,
namely, depose the imperial dynasty. But 1t
ought to inspire the Emperor to assert his inn
perial VIII above that of the war party" which
means the party of disaster and humilia-
ton, and to set the welfare of Russia above
that of the Alexieffs and Bezobrazoffs and the
rest who through their self seeking involved
the empire In this dreadful plight-the worst
any great nation has ever known. To sue for
peace would doubtless be humiliating. But
what has there been for the last year, at the
Yalu, at Port Arthur at Liao-Yang, and now
at Moukden, but humiliation? What can there
be, after this, If the war goes on? Rail at
Kuropatkin as the grand ducal cabal may,
where is the man in Russia who would under
take to succeed where he has failed? Where
is there fanother army to replace that which
has been sacrificed among the Manchurian hills?
We have been told that Russia was waiting
for just one more great battle as an oppor-
tunity for ending the war. Surely there should
be sufficient opportunity in the greatest battle
the world has ever seen.

MUST BE AMENDED.

Mr. H. NJ. Riddle writes from Asbury, War
rem County, n. J., expressing Impotence be-
cause The Tribune has not commented edi-
torialy on the Morris Canal Abandonment bill,
introduced last week in the New-Jersey Legis-
lature. He wants to know why this silence ana
whether the bill is all that may be desired.
Then he proceeds to answer the latter part or
the question by saying that 1.-The Musconetcong
valley, with its varied industries has been
entirely left out in the reckoning. For. If the
''level of Lake Hopatcong is lowered seven feet
during the winter months, the wheels of our
mills will have no water to turn them, and
1.-THE farmers along the banks of the MuSconet-
'cong will have to use melted snow to water
their cattle"
Well, The Tribune gave up a large section Of
its valuable space to the text Of the BILL so that
all concerned might have an opportunity of
seeing just what it proposed to do Since then
the columns of The Tribune have been open to
Mr. Riddle or anybody else who understood the
bills provisions and wished to discuss them with
in reasonable limitations. For ourselves, we have
not felt clear to the full scope and purport of
the BILL but the action of the Newark Board of
Trade thoroughly representative body of cit
liens, would seem to demonstrate clearly that
the measure must be radically amended in order
TO make it satisfactory to property owners, man
ufacturers and municipalities along the line of
the canal and TO citizens generally. Unless the
State is willing to take over and operate the
canal the latter will have to be abandoned as a
waterway. but the abandonment must be con-
sunmated in manner that will work no inius-
tice to any of the interests concerned
