The nomination of Rawle for state
treasurer, by the t'ameron faction, has
•tarted the dry-rot in the radical j-arty
of Pennsylvania. The people an- tired
of rings and ring nominations, and c*pe
eiallv tin-d of that most mrnipt of all
rings—the Cameron ring.
At last we have the intelligence that
oar railroad will go on. We have I wen
officially informed of this fact by the
President of the road. Every reader of
the Reporter will read this announce
ment with rejoicing.
Pennsvalley i* now safe for an outlet.
Our people have patiently submitted to
annoying delays in this work. They
an-w illing to excuse *ll that now, un
der the assurance that "forward" is the
command at last.
llartrauft was uominateil by his party
last week, for re-election. It was llart
rauft who pasted the accounts oftheem
beaxior Evans, when he | Hart ran ft) was
Auditor General by which the,state was
-w indled out of nearly ludf a million of
dollar*, llartranft knew these account*
were a fraud, yet he winke.l at them,and
passed them as correct. He could have
saved this enormous sum. to the state
had he not lacked honesty and courage.
But he feared the ill-will of the ring,
and stood by and permitted this steal to
go on when he held in his hands the
key to the gate of the treasury that
would have barred it against th en
trance of the thieve*. He has made a
weak and vacillating governor afraid to
lake a decisive stand against wrong, and
always cowed before the ring.
The Lancaster Convention favored the
equalization bounties. How does the
great and good UljMi stand on 'hat
question ? How about his veto of the
e.pialization bill in March last? Was
this one of the brilliant act* ofhis calci
um light Administration? Ring organs
will please answer at their earliest con
venience.
Commander-in-Chief of the ring forces
at the Lancaster Convention, Simon
Cameron, renegade Democrat; tempora
ry chairman, John Cessna, renegade
Democrat; nominee for Governor, John
F. Hartranft, renegade Democrat : nomi
nee for State Treasurer, Henry Rawle,
renegade Democrat.
In another column we Wfint Grant's
letter on the third-term question. It
was called out by the Lancaster resolu
tion of the radicals iu opposition to the
third-term, Grant come* near using
Greeley's term of "narrow minded
blockheads," for those republicans who
feared he wanted to be elected a third
time. Yet he as much as says he would
accept it again if tendered in a certain
manner. Of course he would —and he
was plotting for it, his denial to the con
trary notwithstanding. His letter is as
clear as a stirred-up mud-puddle, and is
a master piece of clear composition.
RA WLE.
The radical convention which assem
bled at Lancaster on Wednesday of last
week, did its work—or, what is nearer
the point, it ratified the will, wishes,
and setting up of >iru(4| Cameron, by
nominating Mr. Rawle, of Erie, for state
treasurer. The "addition, division and
si'ence" ring was complete master of the
machine, and the men who received
their divies out of the Evans' embezzle
ment again are to have their pilfering
hands in the slate treasury, providing
the people of Pennsylvania ratify this
nomination at the polls, next Novem
ber. We do not believe they will do
this. They are tired of being plundered.
They are tired of corruption, and tired
of pouring their bard earned taxes into
the coffers of the state and then see
them stolen by the tools of Cameron.
This Rawle is a renegade democrat and
office Beeker, who found no fodder or en
couragement in the democratic ranks;
was kicked out, and lodged in the radi
cal fold ; joined the forces of the Winne
bago as offering the best prospect for
place and plunder; was at once recog
nized as fit material for a tool, and al
ready has a nomination, lie is unpopu
lar in the northwestern section of the
state from which he hails, and where
the people know him. He has Wen
caught in several discreditable transac
tions, and finding no honest republicans
to give him encouragement, he naturally
joined the Cameron clan, in which com
pany he is as much at home as a fish is
in water.
Under Rawle, should the ring succeed
in electing him, the gang of treasury
thieves, expect to continue getting rich
by plundering the state. To make his
nomination bargain and sale was boldly
resorted to, and the cost of setting up the
job and making the nomination, of
course will be pilfered from the people's
money if these thieves can gull the tax
ridden people of the state to elect their
tool as the custodian of the state funds.
Why did these fellows set aside such
honest and pure men as Hon. J. B. Linn?
Because he would not consent to let
them steal. An honest republican stands
no chance—hence Mr. Linn was pushed
aside.
SHERIDAN'S NEXT RAWS.
Under the above caption we httva ji
nice bit of news from Washington, which
will no doubt tickle the masses away
down to the region of the pocket book.
Banditti Sheridan is to have a large and
costly- military escort of 12fX) U. £. sol
diers at government expense on a wed
ding trip to the I'eiioirstoneriver which
i* to hurt all summer This aping of
monarchy and royalty, is on the in
crease now, and soon oor republican
simplicity will be gone. In the good
old rule and ecomo-
my, the people know nothing o£
and magnificent pleasure trip* andtrav*
els on princely style by our government
officials, such as king* and princes en*
joy in Kuropo and Asia, hut now such
aping* of royalty arc getting common in
America, ami the good people look on
ami f>*it the hill* out of their own p<4k
ots, jieriiiitling a set of radical monkey*
and flunky* to tl.-e.-o them and do their
junketing at the public expense.
The manner in which Gen. Banditti
Sheridan i* to have his wedding trip,
furnishes refreshing after-supper read
ing forthe farmer, mechanic and labor
er when he aits down to real from the
sweat and toil of the day in which he
strive.! to earn enough to pay his taxes
so the Sheridan*, landattlet WiUiamses
and the host of reveling third-term de
bauchees under tiranl may n-end it on
pleasure trips Now r< ad it
The Secretary of War. accnnt|iaui.-<t by

some invited wealthy guests, leave Fort

which surpasses even the \osemite of
California. They will be escorted bv

tieneral Rucker, early tiext month, aud,
avMUipitiiwl hy the Secretary of Mar
and others, starts at once on his bridal
tonr for the Yellowstone. In tact the
Yellowstone excursion will ho delayed
to suit Sheridan's and Belknap's con*
venienee. In consequence of this matri- ]
monial alliance the friends of General
lngalls have renewed their pressure ujs
on President Grant to make him tjuar
tertuaster-General in place of Meigs who ,
declined to step down and out to tlie
Russian mission 1 la-fore Sheridan le
--comes the son-in-law of Kueker, who is
senior to lngalls.
President Grant, failing to be nomina
ted a third time, it is thought w ill throw

from Ohio, and a t'atholic.

A review of the testimony in the great
Brooklyn trial establishes conclusively
that somebody has forgotten just how
nutters did transpire, in connection
with that scandal, but who the jwrjured
I partv or person is, it i* hard to tell. One
1 of our exchanges thus sums up the testi
mony :
If Mr. Beeeher lus tesirn. d truthfully,
then Mr. Tilton. Mr. Mottlton, Mrs.
Moulton, Deacon West, Brother Bowen.
and Mr. Jam* have all sworn to lies ;
' and rior cer*i, if they have told the truth.
| tKen Mr. Beeeher has committed j-erju
! *>"•
If Mr. Tilton has sworn to the truth,
j then uot only Mr. Beeeher, but Jteeste
| Turner. Essayist Tracy, t River Johnson,
j Sam Wilkerson, Mrs. l*almer, the negro
i Wood ley, and all the witnesses who tes
tified that they saw Mr. Tilton walking
j with Mrs. Woodhull in the Uos-el pro
| cession, have sworn falsely,
j If Mr. Monlton is not a jwrjurer, then,
[ besides convicting Mr. Beeeher, he con
victs of perjury Essayist Tracy.
The same issue of veracity is made le
--twecn Bessie Turner on one side, and
Mrs. Brads haw, Mr. Richards, and Mr.
I Martin on the other. It is alsoiuade be
tween Martin and Tracy, and between
Woodruff and Tracy.
Mr. Bowen, too, comes and squarely
contradict* under oath, Mr. Beeeher,
1 Mr. Clafiin, anil several other gentle
men.
It fairly makes one's head ache to try
and unravel the tangle.

Next November they will quietly ignore
their advice.
11. f R TR. 1 NET AXD <i R. f .V T.
A Harrishurg special of The Times
says that Governor llartranft did not at
tend the Lancaster convention, us he
meant to avoid all entanglement in the
bitter contest for State Treasurer; but
the positive 1 declaration against the third
term was the only absolute requirement
he made of his friends. He regarded
that as the most dangerous rock the par
ty had before it, and he believed that
defeat would be inevitable with any am
biguity as to the purpose of the party on
another term for President Grant. He
iB conscious that Grant is not very par
tial to him personally, especially since
his nomination for the Presidency last
year by the Harrisburg convention, and
he does not now look for cordial support
from the administration, although he
believes that the office-holders generally
will support the ticket. It is understood
that his letter of acceptance will In
guarded, and enunciate nothing beyond
an approval of the principles laid down
in the platform. The Cameron organ
here has sounded the long roll, instead
of rejoicing over the work of the lenders
at Lancaster, and declares that the hat
tie will he desperate and can be won on
ly by the most cordial co-operation of ail
the elements of the party. It was for
getful of this peril when it hounded
Strang before the convention met, and
its evident alarm now is significant, as
indicating its fears that the Cameron
arrogance and disregard of the wishes of
the party were overdone at 1-ancaster.
THE RESTRI CTION OF FORESTS.
In last week's Reporter we made brief
mention of the great destruction of tim
ber every summer by mountain fires.
The World has an article UJKIII this sub
ject in which it says that the destructive
fires which have lately devastated the
forests of Pennsylvania and portions of
New England and the Northwest add
emphasis to all that has been said of
late concerning the wasteful destruction
of American forests. That this destruc
tion has been out of all due proportion
to our growth in civilization, that it is
already telling visibly upou our tradi
tional "ineiciuyistible" forests, the evi
dences begin to in distress
ing abundance. The prestation or
the economical use of American foresu
is no longer a matter which concerns
posterity alone. Thefailirre properly to
preserve them is ajieady felt with disas
trous effect in mote than one section of
the Uuiou by the people of our own lay
and generation. New England is ptta-
Imblv the greatest *ifl< r> r frolii this
waste. The mountain and woodlands
of that section have in nitiny places law u
n> well stripped of their tillilu i u* fre
quently to cause serious interrupt ion I with
to its agrli ultural and nmnufaiiurtng in
dustries The alarilling frequency •!
freshet* and droughts there is nun
plainly attributable to nothing than to
the felling of the tree- wltleli formerly
prevented the 100 rapid tluw of ruiu-wu
ter and melted snow fromtlii'mountains
and prevented too rapid evaporation on
the plains ami lowlands The rains
which heaven ill its b, Minty send* upon

gion do not long abide to bleu them,
but rush oil madly totlie-iaoi return to
the cloud* in vapor, often having mills
with insnilieieitt luotm |miw i and eattb
witb short ration- of wat.i M.r.-ov.r,
the levelling of the forests ha* expos.,l
the country to the sweep of fieri e winter
wind* which not only aggravnt. the uii*
pleasant rig-rs of the i Innate but help to
lurodnve and prolong winter drought* by
postponing the thaw "f ice and snow in
which so large a portion of the wat.t
snpplv is annually locked up Mm h
complaint was last winter made by New
England newspapers, ami commented
upon by The World, of a -• veredri tight,
which uot only rriluoil a iiuinlwr ot
mills to half lime, but also put farmer* to
great trouble and c \peine in supplying
their stock and even their fumilic- with
water. An equally lamentable icsiilt • !
the ill-regulated destruction of N w kng
land forest- is found in tit*fact that
much good farming land ha* la-en t brow n
I out of cultivation le-ause tin* mljac. at
woudlamls have been stripped of tint

waste, without rccti|>eration, wlinh ha
gone forwanl in New Kni;l*nil ha* also
gone forwanl in greater or less degree in
nearly even" iuhabiteil jwiftion of Amer

nent have been sudden and urgent. We
have huilded wooden house* only to ie-1
place them after a f w years with houses; (|
of brick anil stone, and wo have put ,
much tinder into hastily -built brick anil i,

decade or two to be replaced by morejc

We have put w hole forests beneath thei'

K.VEITTIVE M AXSIOS, W ISIIINiiTON.',
t May 211. — Dear Sir: A short time subae- ,
qoent to the Presidential election of
1872, the prem or a portion of it, hostile '
1 to the republican party and particularly
e so to the administration, started the cry i
- ofctesarism and "the Third Term," call- i
p lug lustily for me to define my position t
on the latter subject, and believed it to |
be beneath the dignity of the office
1 which 1 have been twice called upon to
t fill, to answer such a question before the 1
subject should be presented by copipc- t
tent authority to make a nomination, or 1
I by a body of such dignity and authority 1
a* not to make a reply a fair subject of J
j ridicule. In fact I have been surprised '
that so many sensible persons in the r
i . I
Republican party should permit their
, encrnv to force upon them and their
I 11
t party an issue which cannot add strength j (
to the party, no matter how met; but a f
. body of the dignity and jwirty authority 1 „
I of a convention to make nominations
' for the state officers of the second state <
| in the I'nion. Having considered this <
, question I deem it not improper that I
i should now speak. In the first place, 1 r
never sought the office for a second nor 1
even for a first nomination. To the
first I was calied from a life position, '
one created by con gross forme tor sup
r posed services rendered to the republic.
- The position vacated f liked. It would H
have IK'CII most agreeable to me to have J
retained it until such time as congress \
might have consented to tny retirement 1
with the rank and a portion oftheemoU p
' uinents which I so much needed to u
home where the balance of my days S
might be spent in peace and the enjoy- t
ment of domestic quiet, relieved from
the cares which have oppressed me so *
constantly now for fourteen years. 1 tut
I was made to believe that the public 8
good called me to make the sacrifice s
without seeking the office for theseeond
term. The nomination was tendered tol
me by a unanimous vote of the delegates u
all the states and territories selected
by the of each to represent oi
their whole number foz ;1.~ purpose of fc
making tbeir nomination I cannot say

The remaining resolutions endorse the

the 1. ird' I'rayrr, where We are taught to
pray "Our Father," each one ol us, each !

only that, but "Our father which art in i
Heaven, lifted up above human impel* ;

is the method bv which dear children are
to follow their Father- by walking in the i
way ol love, as ha dwells ti; love, adfninis- I
lets by its power, make, it the lest of that <
character which shall survive death and
live through immortal .pibares So we ate
to follow Him ih that spirt But it is ni l .
; a figure of sptecb alone. If 1 luav so say
, it I. that atmospheric condition of the aoul
, by which yeu hal appreciate the per. -n
--] ality of God. fci.d all the duties vou are
ca.ied us on to perform a. the followers of
' of God through the Lord Jesus Christ.
We arc iuti hearing front the
tco II t iii corps ih at hm o gum ultrumali
c:\iliatd nations to witness the transit of
Yenu* acit s the surface of lite sun. and
we have learned that after infinite pains
, some ot the in on the day ap|-i inted, alter
| ninths, and It may be said yeait of pre-
I paration, found s! run beating down upon
ijthem, bunding Ihvtii, and aii day lung
they unci I as well have gaud into u.iu
j night. The atmosphere eras HI such a cen
dit ion that they saw not a glimpse, and
folded their instrument* and returned
, Hume u wise a. ihuv went And th.-io
were other parties stationed at other points
t f observation, and although the rain did
not descend and beat upon them, Ih.^lnuJ.
• nung low, a: d Wt-uld riot seperate, and
they returned home. The condition ol
. string that magnificent orb was nut rrn*
id eroa to them There were other parties
* with whom the clouds tdayvd coquette.
- and opt nrd and shut, and they got glance*
* and \iiiu.t. First contact and second
contact were lost and third gained ■, the
, first and second and third gained and iatt
' | lost, and o on. They leturned boms
; somewhat wiser, but sliii it was not a pro
, pltious heaven, and only they answered
the end for wmch they had taken such ex
traordinary pains and gone forth on sucb
1 a long journey, w hose whole sky was open
and clear, and who saw the planet advanc
, nig toward the sun and passing over and
leaving it. The atmosphere was every-,
thing No matter how perfect the teles
cope or admirable tho structure that en
j closed it If the atmosphere was not right
they lost everything.
And now- in Christian life the atmos.
| t here is everything, l'liey that will see
. j God must have the atmosphere through
„ I which He alone can be discerned, and
that is love. Ho that, while we are follow
' in* a* children the Father, Who dwells in
- love and ii love, we must follow lliui and
walk in love, or we never can understand
, Him, perceive Him, receive benefit in ma*
' lerial degree from Him.
1 So then 1 read ngxin—for the text is al
ways bolter than the sermon—"Be ye
. therefore followers of God as dear children
and wa'k iri love, as Cliri-l also hath loved
1 us, and hath given Himself for us." Out
of (hi* fundamental and vital quality there
, will spring up many other forms in insoir-j
alien ; but the root forms the foundation,
j the fundamental element of Christian love
' j will be in that love which dear children
for a Parent and which Christ himself
: showed forth in all his walk and con versa
. lion while upon earth. Wo have very
much clamor and very much dispute about
' fundatnen al doctrines. There are no fun
r dan.enlal doclrin.s. There may lie and
. are fundamental doctrines of philosophic al
systems. Americanism has certain doc-
I trine., and il cannot be Americanism
• | without them. The Calvinistic faith ha 1
i 1 it- vital nncl fundamental points, without
[ which it cann a be Calvinistic. and there
' j may be such things a- vital and fundameo*
i ; tul doctrines in the view of a system but
; there are no fundamental doctrines in the
, i view of the human heart and Christian
love. There is a fundament love, and out'
k of that other things shall cotno, though,
: they that come may be vita! and funda->
mental. How long shall we need to goj
, without an adequate interpretation of the ]
IHth of Corinthians, where l'aul, with ev-
I ery form of speech which belongs to elo
quence, declares that men may know all, 1
believe all, practice every good quality. I
but unless they had love tliey were Hom
ing; they were a# a "sounding brass and
tinkling symbal." Thousands of men |
have gone to war, men h ve quarreled
with each other, burned each other at the
slake, all on account of doctrines which
bad nothing to do with love ; which a man
might believe either way and be neither
better nor worse. We are to walk with
Christ even a he walked with God.
Out of that spirit and out of this charac
ter come many other experiences. One!
i may follow God with tho reason and the!
intelligence, but without love the reason,
cannot interpret God. We may learn
much, but tho much duo* nut help it; ai.
for instance, you desire to know now atii
eminent man looked. It won't bo enough
to paint on otio sheet of paper nn eye, and
on anotbor sheet a nose, and en another
sheet a mouth, and take those separato
sheets and say, "Combine them, and that
* the way he looks." But who can com-!
bine them under such circumstances. It
is the organized unity which makes the;
semblance to the man Nor when we see !
a man do we know him for all men are;
different in face and feature. A man who
from youth has bpun thoroughly bad cans!
not understand a man who from youth line |
been a thoroughly good man, nor can a!
man thorough!v good understand a man
thoroughly butl. A miser cannot under- j
stand u magnanimous and benevolent man
any more than such a man can understand
a miser Wo have to be in sympathy with
those whom we would understand If we
are to understand tho artist's r.att|re it is .
because something of the artist's nature
is in us. Now no man can understand
God except as lie Is inspired. God glories,
as He lolls us, in His long sutfering, in His
patience, in His loving kindness, in His
tender morpy, mi man can understand God
who docs not go beyond hit own purpose
into the disposition of Go;), and (his fan '
be done only by tho warmth of true love. '
We may follow God by u true veneration, I
by humiliation, but it must be in such n <
way us dear children follow. There is, I '•
doubt not, to every one of us a sense of the v
goodne-.s of our mothers, the superiority of
our fathers, such as reacts back upon us, so
that we have been rnnde to believe how In
ferior we art-to tbem, and we look up to
them and we rejoice in their goodness
which makes us feel ourselves inferior. *■

your strength, God our Father, the Lord
Jt'stis Christ, our Savior, and the Divine (
Spirit, *ur Comforter. Many of you are
just beginning your Christian life, and ma
ny of you are experienced soldier* in the
Church, and yet whether with much or
htlle experience, it is a good thing to begin I
this day a new life, to live as dear children
of God. For when *nce the habit is form
ed, then in a!l ciroumstancas and trials end
temptations you shall find in that coni
mut.ion and in that fa'.lt all the strength
and all the comfort Ihat will be ell yon i
nned. No man knows where you will go.
ol where in the course of a year you v ili
be scattered Where are tbe birds that
sung on my farm last year? Tell me
where are the leave* that waved on my
trees last summer ' Tell me where are all
the flowers that bloomed last summer?
Who can tell that * And where you shall
be in five years, what sorrow* shall have
befallen you, what new application, what
habitation in the way, what deprivation ,
vou shall have suffered—who can tell? |
None.! One thing we desire to lookiforward
to, and greatly desire, and that, is, if you {
follow Gi>d the dear Father anU you as
dear children walking in love, it makes <
little difference whether you live upou the |
land or upon the sea. whether sickness ;
coins, or disaster or ditappointments—
G>id is tin- soul's all, and vou tusy be joy
tul, and the quality that f look for in ,-ach
one cf you t* not that you are good mem
bar* of the Church, but it is tliat in the (
Church, and in your vocation, atid in the (
household, and in your companionships
and friendships, you have learned that
royal less>>n to tii'uv God as dear children '
and walk in the love just av Christ gave I*
himself for us. |<
And now, bcloveJ, with theve brief and "
perfaclory remark*, we are—ninny of you
for the first time in your life, and all >-1 un- "
dcr such circumstances as have gathered,
us here—we are to sit together and partake I
of these symbolic memorials of tbr Lord 1
Jesus Christ, your and my Savior. And
in partaking of these symbolic repre*enta- '
lions —ttte brea-i broken and the wine <
standing for Hie blood shed, and both the]*
bread and tbe wine standing as a test foi
Divine love, fur the truth. 1 enjoin upon
you Hie occasion. You will never to
brought again to the beg nr.ing, a begin-,
ning uau bw but once, and to many of y- .i
this j* the first time, and I trust not the
mod joyful, but yet an eminently joyful
time My heart goes out to you. My
longings are nut so much for your minis-,
tratioti* in life, but that you may have that
strength, that staff, that sure hold ot (s.uf '
by love, that shall keep you in the "valley
of the shadow of death.' And I invite all
person* whether members of this church,
because be love* God, and out of love may
• due veneration, humiliation, prostration
qf soul, but without love this unwortbinois'
in one's own mind, and that whole system j
by winch men are affected by a sense of!
their siufulues# derogatory to the sense of
man and manhood, is degrading o the
moral sense ef man. M<-n who are ever
I looking al their sins, studying tbem as iC
were and living upon a sense of their infe
riority—such men are not wholesome.
That i not the way children live at home.
Vou WLUIJ nut U; ilium With the little!
of the divine nature that you have in you.
you think that is not the proper way for
children to behave al home. They *nould
net be continually thinking of their inferi
ority. They must lire in faith, love, and
trust, or a child.canuot be a true child at
home. And so in the ministry of the
Church. He who suffers iu the presence
of God is not in a right slate, htili lets is,
he who fenrs compatible with tbe v;y of!
children following God. There it a prop
er tear Tt.C child anxious to follow looks
with wishing expectancy to see ii it* task
has pleased the father and mother. The
child that is learning an art and making
-ketches brings them to the teacher or.the
parents, comes with a trembling apprehen
sion lest it may not be approved; that is,
fear, but il is ennobling. But the fear of
anger, the fear of our suffering and lost it
wrong and degrading.
Now wo are to be utombests oflheChurch
that w-e may be bowed down with an ap
propriate recognition ot our part, and fol-|
low the Lord as dear children. Beware!
then. I beseech ofyou who are beginning
the Christian life, of substituting anything
for this quality in you, or allow anything
to crime between yo-.i and this quality of
love. You arc God s. You are not owned
by the Church ; yuu ate nol.owned by any
iprittl; you are not owned by any minister, j
' vou do not belong to any one less than
(sod, to w bom you are not slaves or hire
lings, but you are his children. If He owns
■ the heavens, you own them. It He owns
all sources of joy and their eternity, then
you own them, fer you are "heirs with
Christ and joint heirs with God." And as
dear children of God yau are to walk lives
of liberty, joy. eourrg;, and truss- Lotus'
Lew sr. therefore, off nose element*, so of-!
ten end so grievously met in lhe|experiencat!
of men—let us beware of all those elements'
'that shall draw- down our allegiance and
or of a sister church, or whether they are
no', memkors of any church—l invite all'
who are conscious of their sinfulness and!
their need of pardon and salvation through
Jesus Christ, who earnestly and cordially,
accept Christ in their Ihougtits and fi'i!iugt
'at their Savior, that il would strengthen
them and comfort them—l invite all such
'to unite with us in the celebration of the
lord's supper. And 1 repeat ngiin, this
ordinance do©* not.belong to tho Church—
though for convenience ii is administered
in the Church—but the Church owns the'
i Church no more than the Church owns the)
Bible. And I make this invitation as broad
as I think God would make it if lie could ;
'see this congregation. I invite none wh.''
| take it a* a mere form. If you need it, and j
