CLOTH FOR UNCLE SAM.

the Government Tests.
The men Of the United States army
come nearer knowing to a certainty
what they are buying in the way of
cloth than do any other consumers in
the couA 10y, says Mary Heaton worse
in Succ1 5s Magazine. When the gov
eminent gives out a million dollar
cloth contract it seems to it that it
gets material according to specifca-
ton. The specific contracts for vari-
out sorts Of cloth are elaborate and go

beyond controversy that Baxter street
continued to Lafayette then the city
would have been within its rights. If
not, then no action should have been
taken by the common council. AS the
matter now stands, the injunction issued
on petition of the College authorities will
remain in force until next September.
Had the proper steps been taken the
burden of proof would have been shifted
from the city, but now. the city must
prove it case and heavy expenses in

CORSICAN CRUELTY.
1t loomed Up Large In NapoIeon's
Treatment of Children.


Treatment of Children.
Napoleon had a singular rage for
pulling children's ears, sometimes so
hard as to make the poor children cry.
Caroline was very veXed when she
saw her little Achille the victim of his
uncle's caresses, and more than once
her sons tears made her weep too.
One day the First Consul, pulling the
ears Of the little fellow, hurt him, and
he cried out. To teach him not to cry
his uncle pulled his ear again, harder.
Achille, having freed himself, came
back to him in a fury and, raising his
little fist, shouted:
''You are a villain, a wicked, wicked
villainw
To prove the contrary Napoleon
should have embraced his nephew and
made him forget the pain he had gra-
tuitously inflicted by some show Of af-
lection. But tenderness was not in
his character. Corsicans scarcely know
what it means, and, though Napoleon
used to say, II am less of Corsican
than one Thinks" he was really more
so than any one OR he himself thought.
Instead Of quieting his nephew he be-
came angry and gave him a violent
slap on the face. The child ran weep
ing to his Uncle Lucien, who was pres
ent, while Nine. Murat was so upset
that she was taken i'll, from the ef-
fort" says Lucien, who relates this
episode, ''she made to control her feel
ings, which such violence to her child
outraged. AS for the First Consul, he
left the room, struggling his shoulders
and slamming the door and saying that
Caroline had always been an affected
creature and acted like all parents who
spoiled their children" = Turquanss
Sisters Of Napoleon"

FOR FOREST AND STEFAN.

Among the bills now pending before
Congress which should be enacted into
laws before the expira ton of the present
session, short as is the time which re-
mains, a prominent place should be
given 10 thar for the establishment or
forest preserves at the headwaters or
navigabls streams. This is applicable in
terms 10 all parts Of the country. but
would doubtless be practically useful
chiefly in the Appalachian and White
Mountain regions, since most Of the wa
terSheds elsewhere have already been
otherwise provided for, and it has thus
become commonly known as the Appa-
lachian bill. Nowhere could there be
more urgent need Of its provisions than
in tie regions named, and even If its
application were to be restricted to them
IT'S enactment would still be an impor-
tant public duty.
The disputed question Of the relation
of fcreStation TO precipitation need not
be raised. There is no question Of the
direct and essential relation between the
maintenance of full forest growths and
the regulation Of the flow Of streams.
There Is no place on the continent where
that relation is more marked and essen
ranges. There are moreover, no streams
on The continent the regulation Of which
is more important to the commercial and
industrial welfare of the people than is
that of the streams which flow from
those mountains. It may he added that
at the present time the watersheds In
question are being rapidly and recklessly
denuded in a way which will mean
irreparable ruin if it is not speedily
checked.
The pending bill does not saddle the
whole undertaking upon the United
States. 1t leaves the bulk OF It with the
states themselves, but IT gives them the
authority which they need for effective
cooperation. and it provides for federal
participation 10 only limited extent,
such as is made fitting. if not necessary,
by the interstate nature of the work.
The measure is strongly favored by the
administration, by all the states con-
cerned and by scientific and business or
ganizations throughout the country. The
American Society of Civil Engineers has
gone on record in it's favor the first time
in its history that it ever took such ac-
ton on any bill. 1t has twice passed the
House OF Representatives, and at the
last session would have passed the Sen
ate also had it not been the victim
Of tilibustering. If it does not pass
the Senate before March it will die
with this Congress and will have 10 be
recreated and passed by both houses. II
is TO come up in the Senate for final
vote tomorrow. That ought to mean
that 1t will be passed by handsome ma
iority and become q law before the end
of the week.

NEW JERSEY SENATORS
Legal and Moral Aspects Of Letting the
People Designate Candidates.
"a the Editor of Tho Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: 1r your article in Thursdays paper
on the New Jersey Election Plans" you
say tho proposed plan would obviously
cause the real election TO be made at the
primaries and render the subsequent voting
by tho Legislature q mere form. as is the
voting by the electors for the President and
Vice President; and you add: 'Presum-
ably that will satisfy the literal require
ment OF the Constitution
There are many as YOU suggest, that
would take exception To this last statement.
There can DO no question that the election
OF Senator's AT primaries IL an evasion OF
the spirit OF the Constitution. II there is
one point oh which the intention ~ the
trainers of the Constitution Is clear II IL
that the election OF Senators is To pe made
by the legislatures and not by the people.
The only member OF the conversion that
favored election by the people was James
Wilson and he voted against election 10y
legislatures. In is true that In practice the
vote OF the electors for the President has
come To be merely an expression Of the
choice OF the people Of the several states
in which they were elected, but Is there not
n clear distinction between this case aud
that Of the proposed plans for controlling
