Already aoava bbaar.ara Uajh» in their gwa miuda triad and condemned certain of their enemies, and if the committee does not ratify their verdict there will be trouble. Nevertheless, we believe that the great body of the people will ngroe that the committee takes the right course and will support it, so long as in following that conree it proceeds without fear or favor with every analysis which lu the end tuny show facts of i onst met i ve usefulness.

The committee can safely disregard the jackals whose only object If to disinter scandals, pro¬ vided that It firmly adheres to its policy of go¬ ing thoroughly Into every transaction which suggests the possible need of a new law. PEACE WITH REAÑ0X. Another adjournment at Portsmouth gives re- MsTSd hope of peace. It has commonly been reckoned from the beginning that delay and de- liberation would make for peace, and there are obvious reasons why they should do so. They do not, of course, assure it. But every addi¬ tional day or hour of calm consideration should strengthen the irenlc impulses which are surely present iu nil the envoys' minds, should increase the desire for cessation of strife which we must believe is felt by the governments which stand behind the envoys, and should give opportunity for more effective operation of that "common sense of most" among the other nations of the earth, which unquestionably Is altogether for pence. The other day. It Is told, a prominent member of the Japanese delegation said that Russia wanted peace with honor, and Japan wanted peace with justice; and the two were not in- compatible. His descriptions and his Judgment were commendably correct. But "honor" and "justice" are too often.and are probably in this case.subjective termR. Russia has her own in¬ terpretation of honor, and Japan her own of Justice; and the Interpretation of the one is not accepted by the other. What Is needed la that the two shall come together on a ground of practical reasonableness, and thus make peace with reason. It may not be amiss to sny, with all kindness and impartiality, that the exercise of reason, or of reasonableness, apparently needs especially to be commended to Russia; If not to the Rus¬ sian envoys, then to the Russian government, under whose direction they are acting. We can- not believe the civilized world would approve or condone a failure of the peace conference on the ground that Russia would not concede the principle of Indemnity lest her "honor" be luí- paired. We do not believe the nations would j regard that as a reasonable ground for Russia to maintain at the cost of renewal of the war. The payment of an excessive Indemnity might well be objected to. But for Russia, after practi- cally confessing, as she has done, that she was in the wrong in the war, or else that she is hope¬ lessly beaten In It, to choose a renewal and lu- J dellnlte continuation of the war rather than agree to the principle of indemnity, regardless of the amount, would create a most painful im- pression throughout the world, and an im près- ¡ slon not favorable to the government that took so unreasonable a stnntl. The Inner history of these peace negotiations is not yet known to the world. Some day, doubt¬ less. It will be. When it is, we have no doubt that it will be seen. In a light convincing to the world, that President Roosevelt has in an ex- ceptional manner made appeal not to passion ¡ nor to pride, not to a vague and indefinable abstraction of "honor," and certainly not to sordid cupidity, but directly and forcibly to pure reason.to that reason which should be the i dominant spirit of every international confer- ence. If his npi>enls to reason should unhappily fail, the world. In the approaching time of reve¬ lation, would know where to place the awful re¬ sponsibility. But we are unwilling to believe they will fall. We must believe that when the envoys meet again to-morrow reason will be fully enthroned at Portsmouth, and also at St. Petersburg and Tokio, and that before this new .ask ends we shall see made a peace that wiil comply with the requirements of both honor j and Justice because It Is inspired with reason. PEXXSYLYAMA'S OPPORTUNITY. Public opinion In Pennsylvania is beginning to demand a radical amendment of that state's imperfect and antiquated election laws. The exposure by Mayor Weaver's new Director of Public Safety of the outrageous padding of the Philadelphia poll lists has naturally led to a de- niand for regulations under which dead men and straw men will not constitute from one-llfth. to one-fourth of the voting strength of a com- Matty. It has been shown that in Philadelphia alone from 50,<)00 to tiO.OO«» bogus votes have beeu cast at recent elections; and doubtless frauds which the Philadelphia ring politicians Cassai it so safe and easy to perpetrate have been imitated In other machine ridden cities. Pennsylvanians who wish to see these dishonest practices made impossible are urging the im¬ mediate enactment of modern election laws. The legislature is not in session, and will not convene again in regular cours«- until January, 1007. Pressure is therefore being brought to bear on Governor I'ennypacker to induce him to call an extraordinary session this fall or next winter so that the new laws can be made opéra¬ me l.y Xoveinltor. ISM, A Governor anil Rep¬ resentatives in Congress are to be voted for next year, and it is highly desirable thut they should be clioseii In accordance with the time honored Republican principle of a free ballot and a fair count. The Hon. TI.odihk V. Cooper, a former Repre¬ sentative In Congress and a political leader of the older school, has Just published In his news¬ paper, The Media American," an appeal for an extra session of the legislature and the pass¬ age of a personal registration act. He says that Governor I'ennypacker cttn do the state no greater service than to co-operate promptly and heartily in the movement to recast an outgrown ! election system. The Governor himself is on record as favoring the passage of a personal n -lrfition measure. He stmngly reconinienile.l lion of that sort in hi- messai;,. the; tora i: m January; but that body, d>|arrail by the influence of the Philadelphia bosses, neg¬ lected bis counsel. But the Philadelphia ma- chine has been wrecked and its power in st.it- politics has been broken. Reyond any .pies tion, the legislature would not now venture to ;. ;..-.. tbe relief usk.-.l by the friends of the re form measures. Only two arguments nri' basa] r-.-.i openly to discredit the extra session projei t. One is ib.-it it would involve an ex¬ penditure of IStsVOraSj Md tap other |s that it might delay tbe completion of the new State Capitol; but these considerations are trivial compared with tbe public results to be achieved ttiTQuiu U) astra lepaifm, sod It 1* to p* beared ! tliut Governor lVnnypaeker will not be swerve«! from I clear duty by promptings of p«-rsounl cfiiivenlonce or ¡i».iinywise »'conoiny. Pennsylvania luis, in fact, neglected too Ion« to throw the B. cessai y safeguards about the bitllot box. The state tolerates u parochial elec toral system which may have been good enough fifty years ago, but which, with the growth of the larger cities, has now become obsolete. IVrmanent voting lists, on which a name stands unmolested so long as any one pays tin» p-dl tax charged against it. are an absurdity outside HM villages and country districts. Annual per¬ sonal registration is the only cure for the frauds which have been practised on so gigantic a s«»ale in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania lags behind Its contemporaries in countenancing lax election niethotlR. It should take the first opportunity to purge Its voting lists and put its ballot box .¿tuflers out of business. WHITE MOUNTAIN FORESTS. Attention has occasionally been called to the fact that a large part of the White Mountain forests. Including practically all on Mount Washington, 1ms passed into the ownership of a commercial corporation, which will presentlv begin a work of wholesale destruction. Al¬ ready some areas have been denuded, and, while the company Is not hastening with the work of spoliation, but very commendably seems Inclined to give a n»asonable opportunity for the purchase and preservation of the trnct as a forest preserve, it appears certain that un¬ less speedy action Is taken the near future will see Irreparable harm Inflicted upon some of the noblest scenery on the America n continent. No one who has stood upon Mount Wlllard and looked down the tremendous defile of The Notch to the distant cone of Chocorua, or who has gazed from Red Bench across that seem¬ ingly illimitable sen of binh and pine to the serried rnmpnrt of the Presidential Hange, or who has peered wonderingîy from the crest of Mount Washington into the Great Gulf's un- fathomable gloom, can without a passionate re- volt regard the meuace of such vandalism as would sweep those slopes bare of their arboreal covering. From the point of view of the lover of nature it would be a sacrilege; from that of the thousands who yearly repair thither for health or pleasure It would be an unspeakable calamity. From the practical, pecuniary point of view the destruction of those forests would be mon¬ strously foolish. It would be profitable to those i who did the job, but to some immeasurably greater interests It would be ruinous. Millions of dollars are now yearly poured Into New- Hampshire by tourists and summer visitors, ami the spoliation of the forests would greatly deplete that golden flood. Nor would the dam- age be only local, among the mountains them¬ selves. There would be u disastrous effect ex¬ tending far to east aud west and south, even beyond the boundaries of the state, along the courses of the rivers which rise In the White Hills; for the Saco, the Ammonoosuc and the Petuigew asset would be transformed from be¬ neficent and constant streams into capricious things, now running dry and now swelled Into ungovernable and destructive torrents. New-York has done much, to her credit and profit, to preserve the North Woods of the Adi¬ rondack region. The forests of the White Mountains are no less precious, but In some respecta are of even greater Interest. It may be problematic whether the comparatively small and poor State of New Hampshire can do un¬ aided what the Empire State has found no easy task. It would be immeasurably harder for New-Hampshire to rescue and to protect the White Mountains than for New-York to save the Adirondack«. But In some way and by some¬ body the good work should and must be done. CARSEGIE LIBRARIES AS EXAMPLES. Those who may have found the doors of some of the older libraries closed, perhaps of ueees- sity. during a part of the summer, may take comfort in the fact that the Carnegie librarl«»s of the city have not yet had to go out of service in order to permit of housecleanlng. Any one visiting these libraries will find their doors hos¬ pitably open from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. in summer¬ time, while some are open later In winter. A visit to them will also reveal the fact that, not¬ withstanding hot weather and the many attrac¬ tions the outdoor resorts and the beaches afford, there is always an eager throng of patrons, young and old, who an» availing themselves of the fine facilities which have recently been put within their reach. Even Mr. Jerome, were he to visit a Carnegie library these sultry nights hours after the big libraries of New-York are closed, and see the thnmg of boys and girls, young men and young women, as well as older persons, looking at the volumes on the shelves and making their selections by the aid of per- sonal investigation, or observe them in the ad¬ mirably lighted reference and reading rooms, where the latest papers and periodicals as well as the newest books are available, would prob¬ ably be eonvlm-ed that he spoke rashly at Chati- tanqna when he affirmed that New-York does not need the Carnegie libraries. The fact of the matter is that, as regards g«»n eral culture, and not with reference to the specialist, tag Carnegie libraries already seem likely to ex«-el lu usefulness the big central libraries. They strike the mite of modernity both In building arrangements and in library management. and if one were Inclined to prophecy it would bo a safe prediction that the methods of the big libraries will eventually be modernized by these new universities of books, each one of which Is becoming already a centre of healthful Influence to the part of the city in which it Is situated. Of course, no one would demand or expect that old, rare and sometimes almost priceless volumes be open to the Inspec¬ tion and handling of every one, but, aside from these anil the restrictions necessary in case of certain classes of books, there is no reason why patenas should not be treated as liberally and as Intelligently in the older libraries as they are in those which are springing up all over greater New-York. I'ROSPFCTISG FOR IH A VOX Os. Mr. David Draper, a geologist who is familiar with the region in South Africa in which dia- monds are found, has come to the United States to search for such stones here. Hitherto retry few have been discovered in this country, anil none of thorn were large. Still, the fact that some have been found contains a grain of en- couragement. It would be rash to assume thut Mr. Draper will fall. The hunt for diamonds is embarrassed by a lack of definite indications of their normal en¬ vironment. Many of those obtained in India and South America were hidden in gravel that was obviously at a great distance from the place in which they had originally been deposited. The Transvaal diamonds are Imbedded In a peculiar clay, which la disposed In vertical "pipes." There has also been a wide diversity of opinion as to the method by which diamonds are formed. Of late there has been a growing belief in the theory tha. the material of which they are «-ompose«! was subje«-t«>d to intense hen before cryatallhtatlea w.is possible, alolsaan'a experiments a dozen years ago partly continued that hypothesis, ¡t was only by emplovlug an electric furnace thut the distinguished French daaaMBf could dissolve opaque carbon In molten steel as a preliminary t., obtaining a transpar cut product.

To determine where that was is a hunier üisk Iban any geologist or mineralogist is inclined to Undertake Looking for the source of tbe Michigan stones is at present out of the question. i i.imonds luve been found south oj the Ohio River and also in North Carolina. 'Ibes.-, too. may have been manufactured by vol,-nul«- action at some remote period of tbe earth's history, but it is doubtful whether they ever ramo from Canada. Mr. Draper think, that Aasassf¦ «lia moods have come from severa! Independent sources. Accordingly he v. ill not go to Canada, or even to Michigan, on his prospecting tour. His observations, it is asserted, will begin In Kentucky, aud possibly they may be exten,¡ed to North Carolina, l'or this seurch his own wide experience undoubtedly qualities him to an exceptional degree; but his chance of sueco-»s bas certainly not been impaired by his .-outer ence with I>r.

It is to be feared the Democracy will not be so much en¬ couraged by this prospect as Mr. Clark feels it should be. The destruction of an oil ship in consequence of a stroke of lightning raises an Interesting question. Why didn't her steel mast serve as a lightning rod, and save her from destruction? Was there a barrier of non-conducting material at the bottom of the mast which prevented a free escape of the electric charge Into the water? If so. a blazing arc would have been formed, and that would have ignited any combustible stuff which was Immediately adjacent. Other¬ wise.jn theory, at least.the vessel should have been Immune. ».- The owners of the Park Theatre In Brooklyn have decided to close the house rather than un¬ dertake the expense of making the repairs and changes which were required. So many new nlaces of amusement have been opened In re¬ cent years that a playhouse must be managed with exceptional skill and judgment to have a reasonable expectation of profit. The Foresters of America oy their unanimous vote in favor of excluding the Japanese asva shown beyond a doubt that they are still "in the woods." Federal officials have taken up the leakage sad misuse of cotton figures with admlrah'e energy, and it now seems probable that the manipulators who have mide lnrge profits on the information furnished them will find them¬ selves In a sad plight when they are brought to trial. We are told by "The New York Times" that "George B. McClellan Is as sure to be the next Mayor as he is to live until Election Day." Tet Professor Moore was complaining only the other day about the degeneracy of the wishbone school of prophets In weather and politics. THE TALK Of THE DAY. The American habit of irony Is perhaps nowhere more conspicuously shown than In the lonely des¬ erts of the West. A correspondent of "The Chicago Record-Herald" reports finding in Death Valley signs reading, "Keep Off the Grass," "Please Do Not Pluck the Flowers." The names of the towns show the same habit of mind In the Inhabitants. There are Saratoga Springs, Arctic City. Siberia. Snowline, lee rave, Tlmberllne. Plegah and others. Then airain we have Sodom and Gomorrah. Ash Meadow.;. Infernal Flats. Furnace Creek. Funeral Mountain and so on. There Is a large sign In Death Valley, reading a* follows: a-_- Saratoga Spring», Christmas Dry. 1900. Twenty mllen fr. m wood. Twenty miles from water. Forty feet from hell. Hod Mess our home.

PEACE WITH REAÑ0X.Another adjournment at Portsmouth gives re-

MsTSd hope of peace. It has commonly beenreckoned from the beginning that delay and de-liberation would make for peace, and there are

obvious reasons why they should do so. Theydo not, of course, assure it. But every addi¬tional day or hour of calm consideration shouldstrengthen the irenlc impulses which are surelypresent iu nil the envoys' minds, should increasethe desire for cessation of strife which we mustbelieve is felt by the governments which standbehind the envoys, and should give opportunityfor more effective operation of that "common

sense of most" among the other nations of theearth, which unquestionably Is altogether for

pence.The other day. It Is told, a prominent member

of the Japanese delegation said that Russiawanted peace with honor, and Japan wantedpeace with justice; and the two were not in-compatible. His descriptions and his Judgmentwere commendably correct. But "honor" and"justice" are too often.and are probably in thiscase.subjective termR. Russia has her own in¬

terpretation of honor, and Japan her own ofJustice; and the Interpretation of the one is not

accepted by the other. What Is needed la thatthe two shall come together on a ground of

practical reasonableness, and thus make peacewith reason.

It may not be amiss to sny, with all kindnessand impartiality, that the exercise of reason, or

of reasonableness, apparently needs especiallyto be commended to Russia; If not to the Rus¬sian envoys, then to the Russian government,under whose direction they are acting. We can-

not believe the civilized world would approveor condone a failure of the peace conference on

the ground that Russia would not concede theprinciple of Indemnity lest her "honor" be luí-paired. We do not believe the nations would jregard that as a reasonable ground for Russiato maintain at the cost of renewal of the war.

The payment of an excessive Indemnity mightwell be objected to. But for Russia, after practi-cally confessing, as she has done, that she was

in the wrong in the war, or else that she is hope¬lessly beaten In It, to choose a renewal and lu- Jdellnlte continuation of the war rather thanagree to the principle of indemnity, regardlessof the amount, would create a most painful im-pression throughout the world, and an imprès- ¡slon not favorable to the government that tookso unreasonable a stnntl.The Inner history of these peace negotiations

is not yet known to the world. Some day, doubt¬less. It will be. When it is, we have no doubtthat it will be seen. In a light convincing to theworld, that President Roosevelt has in an ex-

ceptional manner made appeal not to passion ¡nor to pride, not to a vague and indefinableabstraction of "honor," and certainly not tosordid cupidity, but directly and forcibly topure reason.to that reason which should be the idominant spirit of every international confer-ence. If his npi>enls to reason should unhappilyfail, the world. In the approaching time of reve¬

lation, would know where to place the awful re¬

sponsibility. But we are unwilling to believethey will fall. We must believe that when theenvoys meet again to-morrow reason will befully enthroned at Portsmouth, and also at St.Petersburg and Tokio, and that before this new

.ask ends we shall see made a peace that wiilcomply with the requirements of both honor jand Justice because It Is inspired with reason.

PEXXSYLYAMA'S OPPORTUNITY.Public opinion In Pennsylvania is beginning

to demand a radical amendment of that state's

imperfect and antiquated election laws. The

exposure by Mayor Weaver's new Director ofPublic Safety of the outrageous padding of the

Philadelphia poll lists has naturally led to a de-

niand for regulations under which dead men

and straw men will not constitute from one-llfth.to one-fourth of the voting strength of a com-

Matty. It has been shown that in Philadelphiaalone from 50,<)00 to tiO.OO«» bogus votes havebeeu cast at recent elections; and doubtlessfrauds which the Philadelphia ring politiciansCassai it so safe and easy to perpetrate havebeen imitated In other machine ridden cities.

Pennsylvanians who wish to see these dishonestpractices made impossible are urging the im¬mediate enactment of modern election laws.The legislature is not in session, and will notconvene again in regular cours«- until January,1007. Pressure is therefore being brought tobear on Governor I'ennypacker to induce him tocall an extraordinary session this fall or nextwinter so that the new laws can be made opéra¬me l.y Xoveinltor. ISM, A Governor anil Rep¬resentatives in Congress are to be voted fornext year, and it is highly desirable thut theyshould be clioseii In accordance with the timehonored Republican principle of a free ballotand a fair count.The Hon. TI.odihk V. Cooper, a former Repre¬

sentative In Congress and a political leader ofthe older school, has Just published In his news¬

paper, The Media American," an appeal foran extra session of the legislature and the pass¬age of a personal registration act. He saysthat Governor I'ennypacker cttn do the state no

greater service than to co-operate promptly andheartily in the movement to recast an outgrown !election system. The Governor himself is onrecord as favoring the passage of a personaln -lrfition measure. He stmngly reconinienile.l

IVrmanent voting lists, on which a name standsunmolested so long as any one pays tin» p-dltax charged against it. are an absurdity outsideHM villages and country districts.

WHITE MOUNTAIN FORESTS.Attention has occasionally been called to the

fact that a large part of the White Mountainforests. Including practically all on MountWashington, 1ms passed into the ownership ofa commercial corporation, which will presentlvbegin a work of wholesale destruction. Al¬ready some areas have been denuded, and,while the company Is not hastening with thework of spoliation, but very commendablyseems Inclined to give a n»asonable opportunityfor the purchase and preservation of the trnctas a forest preserve, it appears certain that un¬

less speedy action Is taken the near future willsee Irreparable harm Inflicted upon some of thenoblest scenery on the America n continent.No one who has stood upon Mount Wlllard

and looked down the tremendous defile of TheNotch to the distant cone of Chocorua, or whohas gazed from Red Bench across that seem¬

ingly illimitable sen of binh and pine to theserried rnmpnrt of the Presidential Hange, or

who has peered wonderingîy from the crest ofMount Washington into the Great Gulf's un-

fathomable gloom, can without a passionate re-

volt regard the meuace of such vandalism as

would sweep those slopes bare of their arborealcovering. From the point of view of the loverof nature it would be a sacrilege; from thatof the thousands who yearly repair thither forhealth or pleasure It would be an unspeakablecalamity.From the practical, pecuniary point of view

the destruction of those forests would be mon¬

strously foolish. It would be profitable to those iwho did the job, but to some immeasurablygreater interests It would be ruinous. Millionsof dollars are now yearly poured Into New-Hampshire by tourists and summer visitors,ami the spoliation of the forests would greatlydeplete that golden flood. Nor would the dam-

age be only local, among the mountains them¬selves. There would be u disastrous effect ex¬

tending far to east aud west and south, even

beyond the boundaries of the state, along thecourses of the rivers which rise In the WhiteHills; for the Saco, the Ammonoosuc and the

Petuigew asset would be transformed from be¬neficent and constant streams into capriciousthings, now running dry and now swelled Into

ungovernable and destructive torrents.New-York has done much, to her credit and

profit, to preserve the North Woods of the Adi¬rondack region. The forests of the WhiteMountains are no less precious, but In some

respecta are of even greater Interest. It maybe problematic whether the comparatively smalland poor State of New Hampshire can do un¬

aided what the Empire State has found no easytask. It would be immeasurably harder for

New-Hampshire to rescue and to protect theWhite Mountains than for New-York to save

the Adirondack«. But In some way and by some¬

body the good work should and must be done.

CARSEGIE LIBRARIES AS EXAMPLES.Those who may have found the doors of some

of the older libraries closed, perhaps of ueees-

sity. during a part of the summer, may takecomfort in the fact that the Carnegie librarl«»sof the city have not yet had to go out of servicein order to permit of housecleanlng. Any one

visiting these libraries will find their doors hos¬

pitably open from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. in summer¬

time, while some are open later In winter. Avisit to them will also reveal the fact that, not¬

withstanding hot weather and the many attrac¬tions the outdoor resorts and the beaches afford,there is always an eager throng of patrons,young and old, who an» availing themselves ofthe fine facilities which have recently been putwithin their reach. Even Mr. Jerome, were heto visit a Carnegie library these sultry nightshours after the big libraries of New-York are

closed, and see the thnmg of boys and girls,young men and young women, as well as olderpersons, looking at the volumes on the shelvesand making their selections by the aid of per-sonal investigation, or observe them in the ad¬mirably lighted reference and reading rooms,where the latest papers and periodicals as wellas the newest books are available, would prob¬ably be eonvlm-ed that he spoke rashly at Chati-tanqna when he affirmed that New-York doesnot need the Carnegie libraries.The fact of the matter is that, as regards g«»n

eral culture, and not with reference to thespecialist, tag Carnegie libraries already seem

likely to ex«-el lu usefulness the big centrallibraries. They strike the mite of modernityboth In building arrangements and in librarymanagement. and if one were Inclined toprophecy it would bo a safe prediction that themethods of the big libraries will eventually bemodernized by these new universities of books,each one of which Is becoming already a centreof healthful Influence to the part of the city inwhich it Is situated. Of course, no one woulddemand or expect that old, rare and sometimesalmost priceless volumes be open to the Inspec¬tion and handling of every one, but, aside fromthese anil the restrictions necessary in case ofcertain classes of books, there is no reason whypatenas should not be treated as liberally and as

Intelligently in the older libraries as they are inthose which are springing up all over greaterNew-York.

I'ROSPFCTISG FOR IHAVOXOs.Mr. David Draper, a geologist who is familiar

with the region in South Africa in which dia-monds are found, has come to the United Statesto search for such stones here. Hitherto retryfew have been discovered in this country, anilnone of thorn were large. Still, the fact thatsome have been found contains a grain of en-

couragement. It would be rash to assume thutMr. Draper will fall.The hunt for diamonds is embarrassed by a

lack of definite indications of their normal en¬vironment. Many of those obtained in Indiaand South America were hidden in gravel thatwas obviously at a great distance from the placein which they had originally been deposited.The Transvaal diamonds are Imbedded In apeculiar clay, which la disposed In vertical"pipes."
