"If Mr. ¢ 71 Rebingon gets the nomination it will '"be after'a hard fight. T A U ’RULSIA in Europe has a forest area .+ of about 50,000,000, acres. = One-third of the country, indeed, is forest. It % id'to''bé 'noted, however, that the .. whole of the forest area of Russia is under ,'carefu_l' crown management, Pooand effective measures are ' taken to 1 ,prei_w‘fe'nt;w'aste. One peculiarity of - ..;the management of forests in Russia ' Itis that certain forests are recognized - lagimedessary to ‘protect the water . supply of rivers, and in these forests . the felling of timber is under very .1 striet regulation, the object being to ‘preserve the for all time.

THE secretary of state, Hon. Union B. Hunt, is to congratulated upon the early promulgation of the laws enacted by the late legislature. The publication and delivery of the laws ‘in-such a short time after the adjournment of the legislature shows that Mr. Hunt és giving the affairs of his office. his personal and ecareful attention:. The laws have all have ‘all been in effect since Thursday, April 27, for on that day the governor issued his proclamation as provided by the constitution. Heretofore Jurne Ist, and even later, has been the time that generally saw the laws in force.

' "Says the Philadelphia” Record: : ‘Prominent Republicans in Indiana have joined in a protest to President MeKinley, against the longer continuance of Secretary Alger at the head of thé wardepartinent. They say it "wwould bé suicidal to enter upon the new campaign in Indiana with the necessity of carrying Alger as a bur'den. But Secretary Alger has anticipated this movement with the dee- : lmjation,tihe he has not the least notion of retiring from office. He says that his enemies who are trying to .drive. him out of Mr. McKinley’s cabinet do not know their fman; and this seems-to be-a fact.”’

THE Elkhart Review goes after the trusts in this vigorous style: “Itis argued by some that natural causes

will sooner or later result in the “‘downfall of trusts. But the people are hardly in a mood to wait very : dong, because while they are waiting '"they are being robbed. = Steps should

be taken to break down the trusts "which eurse the country. now, and - laws should be enacted to stop the crying evil of overcapitalization, ‘which is the distinguishing- feature of these latter-day combines. The

‘*let-alone’’ policy of waiting_fof trusts to fall to pieces from their own rottenness will not do.”’

THICK AND THIN administration organs, like the Chicago Times-Her-ald, Warsaw Indianian and Wabash Plain Dealer, are considerably worked up over the anti-expansion- expressions of several great public meetings in Boston, Chicagb and elsewhere. They cry ‘“rebel,” ‘‘copperhead” and ‘“‘treason” as glibly as

did the intensely patriotic office seekers of years gone by, and they try to saddle the whole thing upon . the Democrats. A scrutiny of the list of speakers at Boston, Chicago and New York discloses the fact that many of the leaders of the anti-expan-sion movement are now, and have been, leading Republicans.

THE statement that Thomas B. Reed is abouf to locate in New York, where he will engage in the practice of law, calls attention to the. fact that he will find many of Lis old political asseciates established in busi_hess in that city. Among them are ~ John G. Carlisle, former secretary of the freasury. now counsel for the Sonthern railway; Benjamin Bristow, former.secretary of the interior, lawyer; Carl Schurz, ex-senator from Missouri, lawyer and anthor; James B. Eustis, ex-senator from Louisiana, lawyer; Edward J. Phelps, ex-minis-ter to England, lawyer; Robert G. Ingersoll, former eongressman from Illinois, lawyer; ex-Governors Hoadley and Campbell of Ohio, lawyers; Judge Dillon of lowa, counsel for Gould companies; Roger Pryor, for- " mer congressman from Virginia, lawyer, and many others. - s THIS is a free country, and free speech and free expression of opinion is vouchsafed to every citizen. The conditions of 1861-5 are not here, and just because some thick and thin partisan yells treason at the top of his voice he will not stop the critieisms of the administration regarding its eourse in the Philippines. * The attempt of the McKinley partisans to cry down the people who . don’t believe in the war of oppression, will not ecarry its purpose. - Times have changed. The people

better understand the government, and as they understand it they know that shey age a partof it MeKinley anpg, A%Zf‘; Fairbanks, et ‘41.. are not the whole thing. If it is treason to cfiticise the conduct of a republican trust administration, it is time for the people to understand the sitation.: :

They tell a good story about Supt. A. B. Newell of the Lake Shore road. An evening or two ago he boarded train No. 35 at the station here expecting to ride to Chiciago. The train carries mail coaches only, and the rules of the postoffice department of the government prohibit anyone not connected with the mail servie riding in mail coaches. Mr. Newell entered a coach and was at once accosted by the chief clerk of the mail crew whosinformed him of the postal rule referred to above. Mr.- Newell acknowledged familiarity with the rule.but directed the clerk’s attention to the fact that he was superintedent of the road, and to impress upon him the importance of his position, boasted that if he wished to he could hold the train until the next day. The bluff did not frighten Uncle Sam’s employe, who had by that time warmed up some, and he assured Mr. Newell the if he held the train until the nextday he could not then ride to Chicago on it. The postal clerk held his ground and Superintendent Newell had the opportunity of either riding on the engine or taking the next train to Chicago. He did the latter. —LaPorte Argus.

Harland Gibson has sold his 320 acre farm near Milford for $55 per acre, which will aggregate about $14.400. Mr. Gibson expects to purchase a farm of 102 acres, partly in the corporate limits of Ligonier, in oreer to give his boys good schooling. He will be a valuable accession to Ligonier. as he is one of the most substantial and progressive farmersin Kosciusko county. He comes from a section of the county where no man apologizes for being a Democrat, and Harlan wouldn’t apologize for it if he lived in Warsaw. The Gibsons are not built that way. .We very much dislike to lose Mr. Gibson and family from Zthis county.—Warsaw Union. : : oy o i Reception to the 157th Regiment.
