For the only advantage in post

Opening Some Captured Letters.

How the opening Of "a mailbag fun OF

Gen. Lew Wallace and gave him new
insight into the feelings and motives
Of his opponetns IS one Of the most Of
fascinating occurrences narrated in his
Autobiography just published by the

Clark and Williams.

The attempted revolution i'm the
House Democracy, aimed at deposing
John Sharp Williams as minority
leader, is of more Importance as a
symptom than in any other light.
1t is certainly interesting. TO say the
least. that there should be a Demo-
cratic fight against present party
domination in the lower house at
the same time that a Republican up
rising against constituted party au-
thority is being fOmented in the
upper house.
These things are all symbols of
the general political conditions in
the country. The Democrats don't
and can't agree among themselves.
Ii is useless 10 expect harmony when
Democracy can be stretched out to
cover everything from Cleveland TO
Bryan. from Hearst 10 Parker, from
Williams TO Rainey. No more is it
worth while 10 hope for real har-
mony among Republicans when that
would impose the same views and
purposes and policies upon La Fol-
lette and Aldrich. upon Cmmmins
and Cannon.
The Republicans are as much di-
yided as the Democrats. Out of il
all will come, soon or late. new
, alignment of progressivism against
conservatism. The shake-up in the
House is a symptom Of the inner
disorder; the revolt in the Senate
against Administration domination
is just the same.
How long viii party names be
fetiches powerful enough TO hold to-
gether men who utterly disagree in
their whole attitudes toward public
questions? How long will they be
potent TO hold apart men who sub
stantially agree? Sooner or later
there must be a fusing, a separa-
tion. a capitalization. Politicians
think il viii not come so long as
times are good and the country
prosperous. They are probably right,
though there are evidences of a
strange and unwonted unrest in the
face of commercial prosperity. which
may bode i'll to parties and party
men.

National Forests in the East.

In the light of the discussion
heard January at the annual meet
ing of the American Forestry Assoc
citation, the five years delay of Con-
gress over establishing national for
csts in the White mountains and the
Southern Appalachians is clearly
traced 10 the apathy of citizens of
The States concerned.
Leaders of forestry have brought
10 bear countless facts and clearest
principles. The Secretary of Agri-
culture has personally examined the
region and emphatically recon-
mended his favorable findings 10
the President. The President him
self had repeatedly urged upon Con-
gress the great need of prompt ae-
ton. Yet the bill, though passed
10y the Senate, still remains in the
House, where il was unanimously
reported for passage in the last long
session.
Have the work and the wisdom Of
these men been given in vain 10 this
measure? The American Forestry
Association has been tireless in
bringing before the people of the
affected States what has been done
ia their behalf. and what they now
can do in their own behalf. There
is no want Of information, no want
of conclusive proof regarding the
good which the measure would Sc
cure, or the evil which must follow
its defeat
As a specially forceful argument
in its behalf, a matter-of-fact busi-
ness argument, comes now the For

tion in the West
The Secretary Of Agriculture, in
his address on Wednesday. revealed
the weak point in the movement.
The people Of the Eastern and
Southern States who could have this
or any other beneficent measure
made law have not fully asserted
their interest. If they chose to act
and TO act at once. national forests
in the East would be theirs with
scarcely an effort. The bill is near
defeat, and issues of vast impor-
tance 10 the well-being of hundreds
of thousands of persons depend
upon the active determination of
citizens 70 make the Government in

things are happening nowadays, and
there is no certainty what may hap
pen next. In both parties the strug-
gle between conservative and radical
factions is going on. If the con-
should get control of both
old parties, it would very likely
mean a powerful third party move
ment in 1905; and likewise if the
radicals should come into domina-
ton of both the Republicans aad the
Democracy and dictate their policies
and candidates in 1908, there would
be the same probability of a con-
