Mr.. L. Johnson,
Editor Newark Post.


Dear Sir:--I have taken the IL
berty o: asking you to publish
few lines regarding the conditions
OF Newark, especially referring to
the present outbreak of fever.
After several years of much
progress in building and CONNER
cial life, Newark, forced by news
paper publicity which was not of
a character to attract people to
locate within the town, has awak-
cned to find it is not keeping pace
in sanitary matters as it should.
The present agitation can do no
harm, but much good. 1t will es-
tablish the local Board of Health
on a footing that certain people
dread. The Board is with us to
stay and do not doubt but that
it will play a prominent part in the
iuture. The value of the work
will not amount to much if it is not
kept up and encouraged by the
people.
One thing is certain, the full
value of the Board will not be felt
until some remuneration is given
by Council to the Secretary of the
Board of Health for his services.
Then a monthly report could be
made to the council and the
cleanliness once established would
be permanent.
The closets, privies, cesspools,
must be kept clean and liberal ap
plications OF chloride of lime made
at short intervals. The present
outbreak, after personal observa-
ton is due entirely to the flies and
pumps, even though we have a
supply of water, furnished by
the town, with none superior
in the State. The citizens Of
Newark should be proud of such
A supply and aid the Board of
Health in removing private pumps
that have been found polluted and
a constant menace to the public
fealth.
A few abstracts from the health
laws may help those who persist
in maintaining nuisances and iail
to keep their premises free from
filth. Noisome matter, or filth

COURT UPHOLDS
CONSERVATION
Decides That Federal Forest
Reserves Are Legal.
STATE HAS NO SAY IN CASE
or Nation Held In Trust For People
Of Whole Country, Says
v. S. Supreme
Court.

Washington, ID. C.-The legSl bat
tie against the forest reserves in the
West, in particular, and conservation
by the federal government of natural
resources in general, has been lost in
the supreme court of the United
States.
That tribunal not only upholds the
consttutionality of the establishment
of the vast reserves for any national
and public purpose, but it settles once
for all that the federal government
and not the states might say how the
reserves should be used.
The immediate results of the con-
clusion of the court are that Fred
Light, a prominent Colorado cattle
man, will remain enjoined from per-
hitting his cattle to Craze upon the
Holy Cross forest reserve in Colorado,
and that Pierre Grimaud, ]. p. Cara
jous and Antonio India, California
sheepmen, must answer TO the indict-
ments charging them with grazing
sheep upon the Sierra forest reserve
without permit, in violation of reg
ulation 40 Of ,4e secretary of agricul-
ture and the statute Of 1891.
The United States can prohibit alb
solutely or fix the terms on which its
property may be used" said the JUS
tive. "As it can withhold or reserve
the land. it can do so indefinitely. II
is true that the United States does
not and cannot hold property as a
monarch may for private and personal
purposes. But that does not lead -
the conclusion that it is without the
rights incideIIt 20 ownership, for the
constitution declares that Congress
shall have power to dispose of and
make all needful rules and regulations
respecting the territory or property
belonging to the United States
All the public lands of the nation
are held in trust for the people Of the
whole country, and it is not for the
courts TO say how that trust shall be
administered: that is for Congress to
determine. The~courts cannot COM
pei it 20 set aside the lands for settle
ment; nor TO suffer them to be used
for agricultural or grazing purposes;
nor interfere when, in the exercise Of
its discretions. Congress establishes
the forest reserves for what it decides
to be national and public purposes. In
the same way and in the exercise Of
the same trust, it may disestablish a
reserve and devote the property to
some other national and public pur-
poses. Those are rights incident 10
proprietorship, to say nothing Of the
power of the United States as SOW
ereign over the property belonging to
IT,"

BOY SOLDIER AND
28 DIE IN BATTLE
Mexican Federal Force Cut to Pieces
in Train Acack-Refuse5
10 Surrender

Mexico City.-Prudencio Figuero,
commanding 400 insurrectos, learned
that troops were travelling to the
capital on the Cuernavaca division OF
the National Railway. He marched
to Cajones, some distance from Cuer-
navaca. When the train stopped he
sent forward q messenger TO demand
the surrender of the troops and re-
quest, if they would not surrender, to
abandon the train in order that the
lives of the passengers be not endan-
gered.
On the train were thirty Federals
commanded by a boyish-looking chap,
a second lieutenant fresh from the
military school at Aspirantes. He sent
back word he had his orders TO con-
tinue on that train.
Little time was lost in beginning
the fight The rebels poured down
the embankment on each side of the
train, and the shooting was begun by
both sides. ..
Passengers, who had been imblor-
ing the young officer to yield, were in
panic. ne CllCS Vi NOluSlA anu
children were heard in the rattle Of
the rifles. The shots from the rebels
raked the sides of the train and many
bullets entered the coaches occupied
by passengers. One killed Luis Bus
tamente, a civil engineer on his way
to the capital TO be married. Busta-
mente was kneeling beside a fright
ened little girl passenger, attempting
to comfort her. No other passenger
was hit.
Soon the lieutenant and twenty
eight of his men in the little second
class coach was dead. The two sur
vivors were made prisoners. The loss
Of the insurrectos is not known.
Figuero said he had been commits
stoned a general by Madero and
placed in command Of the troops in
Guerrero, Puebla, OaXaca and More
los. He said he was now concentrate
ing his forces for an attack on Iguala.
Once that point is taken, according
to the plan he outlined, genera ad-
vance on the capital will be begun by
all the rebel forces in the South

LOW WAGES IN ENGLAND.
Sixty Per Cent. Of Adults Earn Less
Than $3.50 a Week.

London.-SiXty per cent. of the
adult workers of Great Britain re
ceive less than $3.50 weekly wages,
according TO statistics quoted in the
House of Commons by II. J. Tenant,
the Parliamentary Secretary for the
Board of Trade. in opposing the mo-
ton Of Will Crooks, the Labor mem
Der from Woolwich, for a compulsory
minimum wage of $3.50.
Crooks's story OF the sufferings OF
the poor was a pitiful one and the
House was greatly moved. Mr.. Ten
n8nt reluctantly had recourse to cold
logic and said that the motion would
involve a cost Of eighty eight million
pounds sterling. The sudden increase
of wages, he declared. would raise
the cost OF production and invite in.

THE SOCIETY TEST.

Know more people and know them
better, was the means suggested by
professor Zueblin in his last Chicago
lecture for attaining the ultimate in
human relationship. He spoke OF
wealth, position, sex, religion and race
as the obstacles TO the true social
situation, which, should have an intel.
lectual and moral basis He ascribed
the socialistic movement OF the age
largely TO the insistence OF modern
society upon such petty distinctions
as wealth, family, position, etc. OF
course, the real social status OF
community is based upon intellect
and moral purpose, says the Ohio
State Journal. Money and vanity
make more of a show, but they do not
constitute the social influence OF a
community. A person who has moth
ing but his money to depend on, is
ordinarily condemned and so is the
society where he reigns. He can
make a display, but sensible people
see through II all. We speak Of this
to encourage the idea that culture,
with its aspiration and its impulse, is
the only test OF real society, a
society that is a benefit to the world
and an uplift to the individual This
is not an objection to wealth, for real.
ly that is a great good when it shines
IN culture and refinement, but when
for its own self 1t sets itself up as a
social aristocrat, then 1t is to be pitted
and avoided.

Sir Thomas r. Price. commissioner
of railways and harbors of the South
African government, arrived in New
York the other day by the Hamburg
American liner Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria, to study the American method
of handling corn. He told a represen-
tative Of the New York Commercial
that the maize of South Africa, which
is our corn, is quite as good as the
American article, and he belives that
South Africa could ship to Europe
100000 tons or more a year and get a
good price for it. He said that he un-
derstood that America shipped to for
eign places not more than per cent
of its product, the balance OF the
great crop being used at home. At
present South Africa ships its corn
in sacks, but 1t is considering the pro-
ject of shipping in bulk. He is in this
country to see how grain is handled
at Buffalo, Duluth, Chicago. Minneap-
oils and New Orleans, and to report
60 his government on the subject.
