Washington Post.
 According to the figures of The ta- United States purchase annually H. 19,416 newer ties, at value of sA6 cents each, and 22,27S.210 sawed ties, at a O0o,oOo of these ties come from oak trees.
 No wonder the forests of America are going as did those of ancient Me- sopotamia and those of medieval spain. It Is a wickedness as well as an moon gruity of the tariff that American rail roads are not allowed to import ties tral America, and from South America. But there is prohibitive tax levied on the roads for equipment, while the octopus -chasers insist that they shall reduce rates. Some of the roads. not ably the Pennsylvania. nave acquired lands and planted locust trees with a
 view to growing their own ties. Whether the commodity clause of the Hepburn bill makes this criminal Is a nut for the Supreme Court to crack. | for Congress holds that a railroad shall not aline the coal for its own loeomo- lives
