[For 80 wise men have been detail-
in: the dire evils that will result
from the deforesting of our American
. lands. The barren southern shores of
v the Mediterranean, which used to sup-
_‘ ports great and wealthy population, are
pointed out as the result of allowing a
country to be stripped of its forests. Ex
pertehold conventions once a year, at
which forest destruction is denounced

hear and read. The Century magazine
lately contained suggestions from a doz-
en learned men on how to prevent
America from ‘becoming a desert waste
devastated alternately by floods and
droughts.
Meantime forest destruction among us
goes on if possible faster than ever.
With all the talk. the commissions and
the conventions. forest fires are Worse
than they ever were before. forest thieves
and forest grocers are more abundant
and impatient. Several gentlemen want
a government commission appointed to
take testimony and consider the matter
carefully. Heaven save the country from

them. A school sending out your after

that is what be generally does. There
are human sharks and wolves in all the
large cities that have become rich by
this process. They are apt to consider
themselves respectable. decent man too.
To protect the pro: in at least one
district Rev. David H. Greer of St. Bar-
tholomew's church: New York city. es-
tablished a loan bureau in connection
with the benevolent work in his parish.
The method of operation is for the loan
bureau to advance to one in need a sum
of money and take a mortgage on far-
niture or other articles of personal
property. But the rate of interest charg-
ed‘is only 6 per cent a year, half of l
per cent a month; The property mort-
gaged is left in the home of its owner.
The individual obtaining money must
give evidence that he is sober. steady
and industrious; otherwise he can have
no accommodation at that bureau.
This church loan ofilce has been so
successful that in the nine months since
it started it has lent $30. 000 to poor peo-
ple in need. It has rescued many an un-
fortunate from the jaws of the sharks.
Dr. Greer thinks this bureau is one of
the most useful enterprises his church
ever undertook. It is pleasant to note
that already $12,000 of the money loun-
ed have been paid back. Other church-
es'might well follow the example of St.
Bartholomew's.
If legislatures undertake to pass laws
that women shall not wear large and
high hats to the theater. they ought also.
while they are about it, to affix to the law
a clause declaring that all men who go
out for drinks between acts should take
seats next the aisle. so that awhcle row
of people will not have to rise each time
they dodge out. It is a poor rule that
will not work both ways. Meantime.
however. the sympathies of the public
are entirely with the movement against
the high hots. They are an annoyance
and an exasperation that only those who
have sat behind one of them at a public
meeting can appreciate. One way to
abate the nuisance might be for a sec-
tion of a theater to be set specially apart
for the big batted ladies, where thay
could have it all to themselves and un-
noy nobody but themselves with their
towering Gainsboroughs.

ten gentlemen. among whom were sever

and Democratic parties In C ongreus. The
proposition came from n Dcmmhrot and
was in substance that the Rv'puhlit'an
House should. as soon as it assembles.

Cleveland. incense of the written and

scheme stated very candidly that his
party would stand a much better chance
in the campaign next year with Steven-
son as president than it wdl with Cleve
land. and said that if all the Republican
and Populist senators would pledge
thrmseivee to vote for impeachment he
would guarantee a euiiiclent number of
Democratic vows to make the necessary
two-thirds to impeach. No promises
were made by the Republicans.

many who believe that lit. Gresham is
guilty of neglect of his sworn duty in not
notifying the Treasury Depll’iment that
Germany. France and other continental
European countries are unjustly dlscrim
lusting against American products, in
order that the law which direct: that ten
per cent. shall be added to the duties on
all goods coming to the United Stem in

which shall discriminate against our pn -

people the discrimination against in to
eqwa clear. notwithstanding the con-
trary claims set up by European diplo-
mats. The Treasury Deparlmant cannot
impose the rat iliatery duty until officially
informed by the Department of State that
the discrimination exists. and it realm
that Secretary 0 resham will not do that.
It is said that he has intimated his fear
of retaliating and that he favors accept
