THE TIMBER SUPPLY.

Every person in the United States is using over six times as much wood as he would use if he were in Europe The country as a whole consumes ev- cry year between three and four times more wood than all of the forests of the United States grow in the mean time. The average acre of forest lays up a store of only 10 cubic feet an- nually, whereas it ought to be laying up at least 30 cnbic feet in order to furnish the products taken out of it. Since 1880 more than 100000, ,000, ,000 feet of timebr have been cut for lum. Der alone, including s0,0OO, 900. 900 feet of coniferous timber in excess of the total coniferous stumpage estimate of the census in 1880.
 These are some ok the remarkable statements made in circular 97 of the forest service. which deals with the timber supply of the United States and reviews the stumpage estimates made by all the important authorities. A study of the circular must lead di- rectiy to the conclusion that the rate
 
 at which forest products in the United States have been and are being con sumed Is far too lavish. and that ons one result can follow unless steps are promptly taken to prevent waste in use and to increase the growth rate of every acre of forest in the United States. This result is a timber fam inc. This country is today in the same position with regard to forest re- sources as was Germany 15o years ago During this period of i5o years such German states as Saxony and Prus- sia, particularly the latter, have az piled policy of government control and regulation which has immensely increased the productivity of their for ests. The same policy will achieve even better results in the United States, because we have the advantage of all the lessons which Europe has learned and paid for in the course of l century of theory and practice.
 Lest it might be assumed that the rapid and gaining depletion of Ameri- can forest resources is sufficiently ao- counted for by the increase of popula- tion. it is pointed out in the circular that the increase in population since 1880 is barely more than half the in crease in lumber cut in the same per iod. Two areas sapplying timber have already reached and passed their max imum production-the northeastern states in 1870 and the lake states in. 1890. Today the southern states. which cut yellow pine amounting to one-third the total annual lumber cut

PUBLIC UTILITY FRANCHISES.


 There was a franchise election iiI Douglas on Wednesday May :, or 4ather an election was advertised for lhe purpose of granting to the Doug 5as Improvement company a fran chise, but judging from the returns, .the election was for the purpose of slaughter.
 Three hundred and fifty votes were cast; 2Ss against and 61 for.
 The Douglas Improvement company wanted an electric light franchise, q telephone franchise and water sys- tenn franchise for period of twenty. five years. They were asking this at the hands of the voters and taxpayers of Douglas, but in return, had nothing to give the public as remuneration for this public privilege. We understand. perfectly, that if such a franchise had been voted by the leople of Douglas, 1t would not have been exclusive and would not have prevented the voters from giving another company the same privilege thirty days hence, but the plain fact remains that the fran ;lsiise had some value to the cvnipany asking 1t and until public utility com panies, who desire to use the public streets of any city agree to give to that city some revenue in exchange for special privilege, the returns are very likely to resemble those at Doug las on May l. 2S9 to 61.

Special Gable Despatch TO The SUN.


Special Cable Despatch to TIE Sun.
LONDON, July l5.-The Rev. W. Manning,
secretary Of the Churchman'S Union preach
ing yesterday at St. Andrews Church,
L~eytonstone. OF which he is the incumbent,
attacked the Bishops OF the English Church
in a manner which awakens horror among
orthodox church members.
He said the Bishops had fallen upon evil
days. They we're fawned upon by the
clergy desiring preferment and are out Of
favor with the mass Of the people. Their
adherence to their quaint style OF dress
affords ground for the suspicion hat they
are out Of sympathy with the life of the age.
Their almost UNMARRIED alliance with one
political party has given the democracy
ground for doubling the proclaimed COM
preh~ensiveness of the national church.
Their large incomes have been a cause Of
dissatisfaction Business men have doubted
the statement that these incomes are used
for the administration of the dioceses
rathefthan for the recipients private purses.
because no counts are published. The
rough sense Of justice Of the English people
10 undoubtedly sound when IL hears with in
~dignation that there are I.I39 liviDRs with
an average stipend Of G87, while the Bishops
stipends are never lower than G3,OOO.
These things. the speaker declared. need
readjustment. A committee Of clear
headed business men would right them
in a few weeks. Human relationship ought
TO be established between the clergy and
the Bishops. The latter now know nothing
of the former except rumors Of diocesan
gossip
A junior clerk sees more of the senior
partner Of a business house than a clergy
man of a Bishop. Some personal relation
ship would do more to increase church life
than all the meetings of duchessesin the
drawing rooms Of London that were ever
held.

The property Ia worth fully $3.50 900 but

the conveyance which prohibits the use
of the property for other than church pur-
poses. Though the st. Stephens authori-
ties saw that they hnve no intention of using
the property for other than religious pur-
poses, they want a clear decd without this
