The Forestry Bureau has entered
upon another great scheme. which is to
construct storage reservoirs at Pitts
burg and other places along the r vers

tains. 1t claims that this is natural
sequence Of its work of reforesting the
mountains to prevent the deIuges tear
ing them d6wL to choke the river chan
nels and cpYerp the lands lower down
with silt. ,The Government has already
spent $50, 100000 to improve naviga-
ton on these rivers. and it is estimated
that it will cost $50. 1000, 900 more out
side of the tOhios River proper. on which
more than Sc, 600. 900 has been spent
In spite Of all this expenditure. 1t has
been found impossible to maintain a
four-foot depth in the channel thruout
the year. 1t being exceedingly desir-
able in the interests of commerce that
our inland waterways should be i'm
proved, the building of storage reser-
voirs seems imperative. The experts in
the Geological Survey have been study
ing the storage reservoirs scheme, and
believe it entirely practicable. While
the initial cost would be great, yet the
results to be obtained will repay this
not only in the Improvement Of naviga-

An echo of Appomattox comes with
the news that Brig.-Gen. Charles A.
Whittier. U. S. Army, retired, died May

born In Maine, and entered the army
as Second Lieutenant in the goth Mass.
He reached the grade of Lieutenant
Colonel and Assistant Adjutant-Gene

the operations leading up to the sur
render at Appomattox. He was mus
tered out of the volunteer service in
Captain, being discharged in 1870 at

sent Gen. Lees letter to Gen. Grant,
who was at that time eight miles from

The Socialistic National Convention
at Chicago got much worked up over
the charge that they had Anarchists
among them who were working for
their destruction. 1t was alleged that
these were the agents of the capitalists,
and were not only prominent in the
convention, but were also running So
cialistic papers. The convention de-
ciared in favor OF the Government en-
ploying at once the victims of the last
panic on public works and also in favor
of the Government ownership of all
lands. Just what Is meant by this
plank of the platform is hard to say
The Government has owned all the
land outside of the 13 original States
1t has sold large portion of these land.
for full value, and whatever value has
since been given those lands has beer
due to the labor and economy of the
men who bought them. Shall these
people and their heirs be robbed by the
Government resuming possession? The
right of a man to the homestead which
he has taken when it was Of little value
and by a lifetime of work made a sup.
port for himself and family is one Of
the most sacred of human conside,a.
tions. and yet the Socialists would strike
directly at that.

cation, where there were only 211, ,499

The public may breathe freer. The
disgusting little Thaw is not to be re-
leased even upon the promise of his
being taken out of the country The
result was brought about by a brilliant
stroke By District Attorney Jerome. The
examination came off before Justice
Morschauser, and Thaw's counsel had
summoned a number of expert alienists,
but their examination was ccnfessedly
weak The problem presented itself OF
putting Thass fs.mself on the stand, but
this was fuil Of danger, since he would
have to submit to a cross examination
by Jerome himself; also by the expert
alienists whom Jerome was able to
summon. Thaw's counsel were fright
ened al the prospect of both, and sought
to avoid them, when jerome suddenly
rested his case, compelling the other
side to do likewise. The Justice re.
served his decision. but all the lawyer:
say that Thaw does not stand the ghos
of a show of release from the Asylum
for the Criminal Insane at Matteawan
He will be kept in the County Jail a
Poughkeepsie until the Justice render
his decision. Thaw talks quite glib,
about his case nov, and told enc of tn,
alienists who examined him that he hat
never really thought himself to be eli
the hands of God or an instrument o
Justice" He only said this at the tim
of his trial because it was "a goot
rhetorical figure" 1t seems to hay,
been OF the same character as the sen
sational, dime-novel story told by Eve

Ex-Chief Engineer Stevens has been
misrepresented in the daily press as to
his drastic criticisms on the Panama
Canal. A full report OF what he said
shows that he enlarged upon the diff
Guilty of the work of organization which
had confronted him and which occu-
pied practically all of his attention while
he remained on the Isthmus. This work
consisted in the reconstruction of the
Panama Railroad, which was absolutely
essential to the work of excavation and
the gathering. organizing and providing
for the great number of skilled and un-
skilled laborers who had to be provided
for the work. He says that he made no
criticism of the general plans of the
canal; that he went to the Isthmus in
clined to favor sea-levei canal, but
after careful study abandoned it in
favor of the present plan of a high
level lock canal The changes which
have been made in the plans in the
way of locks at Mira Flores and Pedro
Miguel are the result of recommends
tions made by him. He thinks that
making all due allowances for contin-
gencies. the work ought to be completed
in seven years from to-day.
