The Boston Herald is demanding the protection of New England forests. The New England forests are not all that need protection. In the West, the wanton destruction of the timber has been unsurpassed.

The typographical error is the skeleton in the editorinl closet. It is ajways there, and will remain so long as journalism exists. A writer in the InterOcean alluded to Frank Stockton famous story, as the "Lady or the Lion."

That there is total depravity in inanimate things has been proved conclusively, long ago, and the most hopeless and irredeemable depravity is concentrated in cold type.

SAO ALDERMAN M'QUADE.

HE WILL BE

SENTENCED XOHDAY.

He Com* /nto Coait W«arJng an Air of Bravado, the First Symptoms of the Kiod In the Lonj Drama In Which Be

Has Fignrei—Talking About Jnrjm»n.

NEW YORK, December 17.—Part li. of the court of general sessions, where the convicted "bocdld" ex-Alderman McQuade was to bo arraigned to-day, was crowded to the doors with spectators anxious to witness the proceedings. McQuade came to court in the custody of Under Sheriff Sexton, fiveminptes before the opening of the proceedings. He wore an air of bravado, the first symptoms of the kind in the long drama in which he has figured, and said "Good morning, boys," in a tone and with a manner savoring of the reckless. As he removed his overcoat and pulled ofl his gloves he smilingly surveyed the faces about him,and nodded a recognition to a friand here and there in the audience. When he had taken his seat before the bar he chatted with one or two friends who happened to be sitting near. General Tracey, ex-Senator Thomas F. Grady and Bichard Newcombe, of McQuade's counsel, entered the court room five minutes after their client. They were serious, and the face of Mr. Newcombe was grave in the extreme. They each talked in turn with their client. The lawyers for the prosecution were late in putting in an appearance, though Recorder Symth was on nand promptly and took his seat on the beach.

When the district attorney entered court, he moved that sentence be passed on McQaade. Mr. Newcombe asked for a aay of sentence to allow the defense time to decide upon their future action. The defense had recently learned of acts of jurymen done before the trial, acts which should invalidate their action. General Tracey intimated that from information received since the trial he believed that jurymen had, after they were summoned, expressed themselves as to what they would do in case they were accepted as jurors in this trial. Mr. Nicoll, for the prosecution, read the section of the code relating to such cases, and contended that neithor of the clauses of that section had been violated. Recorder Smith said it seemed that the motion of the defense referred to acts done after the jurymen were summaned and before they were sworn, and he thought it would be proper to grant the time asked for by the defense. District Attorney Martine stated that he would ask for the prosecution that there be a stay till Monday, as he had received an affidavit from the defense referring to a matter for consideration. The affidavit by the counsel for the defense is to the eflect that trial was suspended, and that one Nesbilt and one Vickermann were brought into court, and that they were handed and read certain pages of printed testimony which they signed and made affidavit to before and in the presence of the jury. The affidavit goes on to say that Nesbitt and Vickermann were former employes of one of the jurors, and that the district attorney stated there had been serious charges made against a juror. This, it was contended by the defense, was improper. The recorder suspended sentence until 11 a. m,, Monday. The defense has asked for time to prepare affidavit which thsy will submit in argument on a motion for a new trial.

None of ths other accused aldermen were present in the court. After the matter of the sentence of McQuade had been adjourned, the district attorney, ex-Judga Fullerton and Nelson J. Waterbury, counsel for Jacob Sharp, James A. Richmond and John W. Foshey, under indictment for bribery, met and informal!? firreed upon Wednesday at 11 a. m., as the lime for the argument on the motion to compel the district attorney to produce the minutes of the grand jury which indicted the three defendants. Recorder Smyth agreed, and the court then adjourned until Monday.

Regarding the remarks of Colonel Fellows in his summing up the McQuade case, that the prosecution was not in possession of the name of the bribe giver, the district attorney said: "We do know his name, but I must decline to make it public as yet. McQuade will receive his sentence tomorrow, but will not be taken to Sing Sing until Monday. At the request of Mr, Newcombe I agreed to give him this respite in order to give him an opportunity to apply for a stay of proceedings. If a stay is granted, which I very much doubt, they then can go to the supreme court and get an order for McQuade's release on bail pending an appeal. Mr. Newcombe has not advised as yet that he intended to apply for a stay."

^NATIONAL BANK GOSSIP.

the par value of those notes in national bank notes for which the governm. nt can with safety be responsible because it holds them as security for the same. These bonds Sre being redeemed so fast that there will soon be few of them left, and they will be 'difficult to get at any price, and in a few years they will all be redeemed. So there is a struggle to find some method of continuing a national banking circulation which will answer the purpose which this now so admirably "supplies. Ail financiers admit that the present medium is the best that this country, and perhaps any conctry, has ever knows. All national bank notes are as good as gold, and far more convenient. A good, many plans have been proposed for continuing the system after the bonds are called in, but none have been possessed of quite as much novelty as that which Senator Bowen, of Colorado, introduced in the senate recently. It provides that banks mjy.deposits gold, stiver and bonds in equal proportions with the secretary of the treasury ta the amount of seventy per cent, of the siiculation they want to issue, that seventy per cent, is to be hdld as a fund with which the government may redeem new notes issued by any bank, and not redeemed through reason of the failure of the bank. The stockholders ot the bank, however, are first held responsible for the circulation. To which the amount of their stock besides the notes themselves being a first lein on entire assets of the bank that issues them. This makes a circulation basis upon the three securities goldj silver and bonds. It further provides that the bonds may be withdrawn after the first year and gold and silver deposited in their places. This makes the circulation of the banks dependent upon the three deposited kinds' of money, and the entire faith of the banks and of their individual depositors, and alto of the government. It provides a way to make gold and silver a joint circulating medium, and a means of getting a paper representation for the despised silver. The bill further provides the amount of circulating medium ia the country shall be $30 per caDita that is, that the government shall issue to these banks that amount if they want it. Of course no bank can issue or draw from the treasury more of these notes than are equal to its capital stock. Mr. Bowen also proposes to increase the amount of pjeket money in the country for he provides for more than doubling the amount of silver coins below SI in circulation.

The Blair Bill.

Congressman Borbour, of Virginia, in an interview with your correspondent, spoke of the prospects of the Blair educational bili in a very hopeful manner.

He said: "I shall vote for the bill and shall use my best endeavors to have it brought up at an early date." "From whom will the opposition come, and on what grounds will it be based?" ."This bill is not a party measure in any sense of the term, and the opposi tion will be from members on both sides of the house. The opposition on the part of the noithern members is nothing more than the proverbial Yankeism, if we can't get hold of the big end of the rope we won't have any. Illinois, Ohio,Texas and other western states have had large grants of land for their school funds, and their public schools being in a good* condition, and established on a sound basis, do not care how this rest of the states fare." "How about the constitutional aspect of the question?" "I don't suppose that the original framers of the constitution intended that the general government should assist the different states in the education of their youth, probably because they thought that the several states would be able to take care of their own but then, we are not living under the original constitution, as it has been amended and changed very frequently in the last twenty years. I consider that anything we receive from the genernl government is no more than our right it is a refunding of that which was taken from us during the war." "To what extent would it benefit the South?" "Well you see in the South we have a large portion of our people who are very illiterate, and not capable of using their rights to vote with discrimination. Now as by the bill, the money is to be distributed according to illiteracy, we would receive the largest amount,and we would then be in a position to give these people the po#er of discrimination, and the whole country would benefit thereby in the improved class of law-makers we would send to congress. We could not run a great government like this if we were going to splitting hairs on every constitutional question that arises.^ I am in favor of upholding the constitution every time, but as I said before, if we are going to hair-splitling on this question, it will be impossible to run a great government like this."

Later on your correspondent run across Congressman Cox, of New York, and asked him what he thought about the Blair educational bill. Mr Cox was in somewhat of a hurry, but said that he would vote for the bill, and did not think there would be any division of the New York delegation on the subject.

a big siWer headed

cane. Dr.

George Fair pointed to the libretto stand and the Rev. Mr. Magea bought a book. Just then the mudett Mrs. Magee's eye fell upon the chaste. but nude form of the icy Ino in the foyer, and, glancing timorously around, she pulled her husband's arm. Mr. Magee gave the cold Ino an artistic stare, but seemed unmoved. Then the twain passed to their seats, Mr. Magee having first infested in two hours' use of a huge pair of binoculars. Next came the Rev. J. Rushton, of Woodtawn. Mr. Rushton was quickly followed by the Rev. Henry G. Perry, of Park, and two ladies. Shortly after them stalked in the two forms of Ribbi Felsenthal and Rabbi Nordeu. The arrival of these latter caused no sensation, for, as Bishop Anthony Denier expressed it, Brother Felsenthal is one of our kind. He fiequently visits that grand apostolic work. 'Duinpty Humpty' when I have a box to spare."

It is to be regretted that the actual at* tendance of the clergy was not what the management of the opera company expected, or had reason to expect, from the number of cards of acceptance and request that had been received. Responses and request had been received in addition to those present from the Rev. S. Spencer Kennard, the Rev. Chas. Koerner, the Rev. William Hartman, the Rev. E. O. Taylor, the Rev. J. B. Townsend, tke Rev. D. N. Utter, the Rev. J. D. Thompson, the Rev. Calvin S. Blanchard, and the Rev. Miss Florence Kalloch. The Rev. Blanchard wrote: "As I was the original crusader against the ballet in St. Louis I beg you to honor me with two seats, as I wish to bring my wife. I inclose a copy of my sermon, etc." The tickets were most cheerfully issued to Mr. Blanchard, but he did not come. As the seats were occupied by others—very worldly looking, it is regretfully inferred by the management, that, like many another deadhead, he gave them to somebody els.e. The Rsv. Miss Florence Kalioch had evidently given her invitation away also, for upon the original envelope, when il wa presented for coupons by a stranger, was written: "Jennie —Msybe you and John would like to sample this." Jennie and John evidently sampled it, for the seats were filled.

And so it seemed that actually there were bat five clergymen in the audience. Milwari Adams "and Cholmely Jones tried to make the twenty-iive newspaper men present believe otherwise, but that was all there were. The house was well filled with other people, however. The lower floor was packed, and the balcony had scarcely an empty row. All wanted tosee the clergy. With Dr. Felsenthal's face in a theatre all are familiar. So with Dr. Norden. Brother Rushton darted about, chaffed the boys between the acts, and drew some attention, but, after all, all eyes were upon Dr. Magse, the colored clergyman, who, with his wife, were given the best seats. Dr. Magee put bis silver-headed cane to his lips during the opera, and Mrs. Dr. Magee looked bored even in the beautiful duet between Pygmalion and Galatea, where Jessie Bartlett-Davis shows such a wonderful gift of voice.

Two hundred and twenty rounders who cared nothing for the opera, crowded the foyer at 10 to see the ballet. Neither Dr. Felsenthal, Brother Perry nor Brother Magee had taken much interest in the vivication of Galatea's statute— they, too, were waiting for the ballet. When the curtain rose on a group of brilliantly attired coryphees, and the soft music swelled and filled the auditorium, and the young women danced in perfect cadence, £nd the rich, warm light fell upon them and revealed the beautiful living picture intended in the scene, Dr. Felsenthal looked interestedly at the stage, Brother Perry glared, and Dr. Magee (colored) glued his binoculars to his eyes. Mrs. Dr. Magee looked on timidly and evidently with apprehension. The phalanx of coryphees filed and counterfiled, dancing with graceful and perhaps sensuous movement harp and timbrel sent out delicate and delightful measure, the phalanx parted, the lights changed, and there appeared the lovely Carozzi in an exqusite short skirt of crimson velvet. The light was just soft enough to give an illusory eflect the fairy figure seemed to float, the music changed from harp to the softest of flute obligate, and then with the grace that comes only frbm gift and training the little being wafted to and fro, whirled and twirled and pirouetted, skipped and glided noiselessly, and, as the music softened and lingered, the figure floated in the dim light, the rich coloring of her dress alone revealing the beauty cf the specter. The Rsv. J. H. Magee took down his big opera glasses, heaved a big sigh, looked at his wife, wiped the small ends, and glued them again to his face.

The music changed again. The scores of instruments dropped by the wayside one by one until one poor little E string was left to tpll the tale. The master of this made it speak a delicious melody borne but faintly, so faintly that even the clergy had to strain their ears to hear it, and so sweet was it that every breath was hushed. Then out of the aurora, the rich vista of coloring, from out the group upon which all eyes were bent, there floated a fairy figure. She was the embodiment of grace. She

from behind and envelop her like the spread of a peacock. One kiss of the hand, then a little Larp obligato so soft that the thousands of lungs were hushed. Once more she came this time gliding down from the left in a delicate lemon light, in which her rich Spanish dress gleamed like a picture from the Alhambra. Every movement was grace. A maitre de ballet here darted in—a marvel of grace. He twirled like a spinning top. He darted toward the premiere he missed her. She darted by him with a laugh. She twirled up the stage, he flew into a spiral movement that threatened bis brain. She skimmed down in a purplish light and gleamed out npon the clergy with a burst of skill that brought out a storm of applause. The Rev. Magee roared "Gorry!" and his wife, quite shocked, hauled down bis arm and seised the bineculars

It was brillant kaleidoscope, and as the music vent fast, faster, and furious the lithe forms—all modestly dad, by the way—winding, twining, rnd ettertwining, afforded a picture that must live in people's memory many a day. Even Dr. Felsenthal, as he came out of the house, 6aid: "There is nothing vulgulary suggestive in that. It i? simply atagnificent. It is an animated picture that the most gifted painters might strive in vain to place upon canvas,.'
