BCHANTON, NOVEMUKIl SS, 1000. The pathetic persistence of Ooin Paul excites gcnciul compassion: tout the world Is loo busy for the p.ist ton?. The Only Vnnacca. fT UK URGENCY of otlu'f bust I noss is assigned us n reiison JL. wliv, nt the romlnrr short Fusslon 'of conRiei!, no BtepM will 1k tnken to cany Into execu tion thr nmtidtitnry section of the Fotii-tevntli iimptidmeiil which te'iulrei u reduction of the basin of tupreaentn tlou In inuteM pinctlclns' partial ill.i fninclilHemont. Were Hie session twice n Ioiik nnd the other business Inconsiderable there still would bo found Ingenious cxcusom for evading; this duty. The plain fuel Is that lli.i Republican party lnanugeis do not wnnl to rekindle the oltl nectlouul nnl mosHles. but In their coinmendabla concern for general harmony, they are in danger of conceding too much to the opposition. We see 110 objection to plain speai. Inp touelilniv this matter. The South wants to disfranchise the negto and yet use hhu to pad on'. Its icpresenta tion In congress. This demand is In tolerable for two reasons. First , It violates wilfully as plain a provision of the United States constitution as the English language is capable of ex pressing. But not only that It inflicts a distinct injustice upon a great ma jority of the people to please p. mi nority; it clothes with unequal power the vote cast in the South at the ex pense of the vote cast in other por tions of the republic. Ho long as these un-American demands 111 e pressed, there will necessarily be a lack of -jon-'ulno harmony between the Southern and the other stales; harmony on a basis of unfair dealing Is impossi ble. Is theie a basis of compromise? Yes, and it Is highly impoitant for all sections that the fact should be clearly understood. There can be no just objection to a restriction upon suffrage applied fahly to all males ot voting age without regard to race, color or pievious condition of servi tude. If, the bulk of the negro vote in the South is a menace to public advancement, no less is this true of the "poor white trash"' votr. If oni is excluded, the other should be with equal and exact fairness; and to both, after exclusion, should be held forth the opportunity and, as far as possible, the Incentive for self-improvement to the degree of fitness for the electoial privilege. Tf such 11 restriction should neces sitate a reduction in lepresentation, the developing Influences of schools and churches would constitute a cer tain method of regaining the lost rep resentation. This is no fanciful day dream, but a practical recipe and the only one which can dissolve the em barrassments of the present situa tion. Secretary Root has again reminded the Cubans that Uncle Sam's word Is good. Let this now bo conceded. Poor Vs. Rich. OME COMMENT has been ex cited by the recent speech of Bishop Lawrence, of Massa chusetts, nt the New York chamber of commerce dinner, In which a note of warning was sounded nt the growth of what the speaker railed "the spirit iof commercialism, the test of value by money, the gauging of so cial position by fortune, the loss ot pity for the failuie3 in life, tho figur ing of national bigness by national wealth and by the getting of foreign markets." More especially has this portion of the bishop's speech attracted attention: (Milkmen, the people, the meat common pen pli', are suspicious that mjiiic tacit coipoialious and iiuifci of wraith are picketed, or theh in-tcrc-Js advanced in a)K that aie- Incon-.i(ent with the rights of tho people, They liny Ime no materia! gioiind-i for their suspicions but they arc suspicions, and so .11 c many of eu. Chlllmion cannot go on where there is nmUul suspicion, ami piopeilty cannot fcro on while tho pioplr feel or think tlut the reu'ieme for l.nv by which pioperty Is safeguarded it not upheld. Put into its plainest form, the bish op's idea Is that lack of confidence pre vails as to the prevalence of common honesty. This was the substantial Is sue, put to a vote of the people In the recant pivsldentlal election. Every nt temju vhlch Ingenuity fould device wa made to niroy tho poor in one camp nnd ths rich In tho other and to Repeat in tho United States, in principle, it not In dotnll, the honl lile lepho'des of the Paris commune, by directing one camp Into an attuck upon tho other. It failed, Why? Be causo tho rich outvoted the poor? Not nt qll. Because the rich coerced tho poor? Certainly not. Simply because the treat saving bulk of our American democracy, drawing Its Inspiration from common founts, Inheriting com mon' traditions and In the final analy sis true to the principles of equality befo; e the law, lefused to be stam pede 1 ihto a wur of classes. If 'the suspicion which Bishop I.uv reuc s attributes to the great com mon people really exists among them, ho n ay bo certain that they will run It dewn fnnd convict or acquit as the evidi nee shall warrant, Anglo-Saxon Ideat are not yet obsolete in these Unit d States. The machinery of pop ular retribution Is at hand and well oiled' for every Uemonstated betrayal of a public trust. But the great com mon people have happily enough com mon sense not to fly Into excesses of jngp at the mere suggestion of current suspicion. They are not hurling thun & derbolts nt phantom. They are watt Ing for the critics of commercialism, the cxcorlntors of Imperialism, the de nunciators ot octopuses to get rid of their gaseous thelorlc and to offer In evidence something substantial nnd tangible In the nature of facts, Mr. Conger intimates that he Is not snllsiled with the punishment pro posed for the offending Chinamen nt Pokln. It Is to be hoped that Minister Conger does not Inlemt to advocate a Colorado standard of dispensing Jus tice (0 the heathen of the unhappy kingdom, m Progress in Forestry. WITH THE ending ot the season for field wot It It becomes possible to re view what has been done the past summer by the division or forestty of the United States de partment ot agriculture, a newly es tablished Institution designed to sup ply expei t knowledge on practical questions of forestry. Since May the division has had par ties at work In New York, Tennessee, Mlssouil, Colorado, South Dakota, Ar kansas, Atlzona, Washington, Oregon, California, n number of tree-planting states of (lie middle west, and, in a small way, in other Htates besides. Much new and alunble information has been collected, and a very large number of surveys has been made, of the results ot which It will soon be possible to make ptactlcal use. Tho work which has thus been going on In the field consisted of making forest surveys and of gathering measure ments and information about growth, stand, reproduction, etc. Much of It, as that lu the Black ITills forest re acne, in the AdlrondncUs, and on tho tract of the Sawyer $.- Austin Lumber company In Arkansas.ls preparatory to the preparation of what are called "working plans," or plans for the man agement and utilization of given tracts of timber. The rest of the work ot the field parties has been more of the character of investigations as, for in stance, an examination of the Influ ence of forest cover on waterllow which was made on the watershed of the Atrowhead river in southern Cali fornia, studies ot the habits of growth and reproduction of the two most important lumber trees of the Pacific coast the red fir and the red woodand a survey of the lesnlts of tree-planting undofaklngs which have been carried on in the northern part of the Mississippi valley. Durimr the coming winter the agents of tho diyl.iloii will spend most of their tlmo in working up the tesults of the sum mer's surveys and in preparing re ports on them. That this expert work, assuming It has been intelligently performed, will in time have substantial value may leadlly be understood from one In stance. The Black Hills reserve in South Dakota contain.? 1.211.GS0 acres. No other tract of its size in this coun try or abroad presents more favorable conditions for forest management. Markets arc accessible on all sides, and there Is a larpe and steady de mand for timber. The foiest, too, re produces itself easily and grows with great rapidity, so that, although cut ting and burning have gone on in some places, the problem which is presented, is not that of fostering a scanty growth and creating forest conditions, hut rather utilizing and caring for an already well-established forest. In the course of tho summer's work a part of the reserve was examined, and on 12,000 acres exact figures were col lected regarding the size and kind of all standing trees. From such meas urements estimates of the piesent stand and future yield of timber cm be compiled, and on these the recom mendations for the management of tin reserve will be based. The adoption of these recommendations will mean that this immense woodland will con tinue for centuries to supply immense quantities of marketable timber with out exhaustion. 1 It Is along such lines as these that the great problem of conserving our timber supply, with Its numerous col lateral issues, such us iirigatlon, cli mate chances, etc., must be solved; and the time to start Is now. Seranton Is not the only city noted for Its filthy streets. Beading also has been disgiaced by tho untidy condition of Its thoroughfares and so Intense was the sentiment of objection that prominent women of tho city formed a street cleaning brigade and this week sixty ot them appeared with sun-bonnets and blooms and there was sud denly n great metamorphosis In the aspect of the particular street which had merited their especial disapproval. Yo should flu ink fiom tho sight ot women cleaning tho streets of Scran ton, yet it is possible that little in form in the, broadcast sowing of loosi paper and thy unnecessary lack of neatness on tho public ihotoughfuu-H will be chronicled unless the women In 1 desperation shall undertake the mutter.
