THE IRRIGATION SUBJECT.

THE CITIZEN has heretofore referred
 to the movement for Congressional aid
 to promote irrigation of the dry lands
 in the Western States and Territories.
 recently inaugurated in Colorado :;
 also to the fact that Gov. Elbert. of
 that Territory, had addressed letters
 on the subject to the Executives of
 California, Nevada, Oregon, Wash
 ington, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Wy
 oming, Dakota, New Mexico, Arizona,
 Kansas and Nebraska. Delegates
 from these several States and Terri
 tories are expected to meet in con-
 vention at some time and point, yet to
 be determined upon. According to newspaper reports, we thought San Francisco was decided upon, but Gov.
 Elbert's letter does not say SO, and the Governor is the chairman of the Colorado committee having the matter in charge. The Governor suggests either Denver, San Francisco or Salt Lake City, and the time October 15. Regarding the probable action of the convention, he says:
 In the view of our committee, while the general subject of irrigation in all its bearings would be before the convention for consideration, the ques- tion of first importance would be the relations of the general government to the subject and its duty in the premises. Among the practical ends to be attained, would be the adoption of memorial to the Congress, set ting forth the needs of the sections of country represented, and the views of the convention as to the policy of the general government in the prem ises also to agree, if possible, upon the leading features of bill provid- ing for some system of governmental aid which would be general in its character, applying alike to all the States and Territories where irrigation | is necessary to the cultivation of the soil, and, III respect to which, all could unite in urging the favorable action of Congress.
 Recognizing the fact that this is one which must go forward and benefit each State and Territory about in proportion as it takes an interest therein, THE CITIZEN feels bound to keep the subject fresh before the people. In other dry coun- tries, governments have practically and on an immense scale promoted ir- rigation, and in the very nature of things, as population so rapidly in- ,reases in our country, the United States will be compelled to do like wise. Arizona cannot we'll afford to decline taking lively share in all to hasten Congressional action in the premises.

AS will be seen by our correspond ence from Grant, another man has been killed on San Carlos reservation, not by Apachss, it is true, but with out doubt because of the unreasona- ble and disgusting liberties enjoyed by the Apaches. Taking as true either version of the killing of private Mur- phy, the cause remains the same and however insufficient, the provocation is one which should not have been presented. If reports be true, the late Lieut.. Amy permitted the Apaches to take liberties about his quarters which he would have very properly denied to the most cleanly and we'll behaved soldiers and citizens. Bro- phy did right in insisting that the Ind ian should not occupy his house or tent, unless he had been previously guilty of according such privileges :; but we do not think him justified in killing the soldier according to the report now before us.
 The Indians are naturally insolent, and when allowed privileges not ac- corded to their betters, they will surely become more insolent and even vio- lent under proper discipline.

A CHANGE in custom-house officials at Guaymas, makes it more than usually difficult to ship freight to this Territory via that port. M. I. Jacobs & Go. are experiencing much delay and annoyance at this time. It is not likely much if any more goods or other freight from American ports for this place will be shipped via Quay mas. However tempting the figures look upon paper, they do not prove satisfactory when practically applied.

What q Single Wave Can DO.

There is vessel in Queenstown har-
Dor, says an Irish paper, of 1900 tons,
which received from a single sea sur
prising amount of damage. This ves-
sci, Norwegian, was struck by sea or
wave of so tremendous a character, in
the late gale, as to sweep that portion OF
her cargo which was slowed upon the
deck, in moment, into the sea; to carry
off her cooking apparatus, made Of cast
iron: to empty and injure her deckhouse,
10 smash her bulwarks and stanshions,
to wound and bruise three of her men,
and to reduce four more to state of
weakness and syncope; to break the
mates thigh and wash seaman over
board, and finally to fill the cabin and
damage all the provisions, so that the
crew were nearly starving when they
came into Queenstown. All these injur
les were produced in moment by a
single wave. 1t not only cleared the
decks, but it extinguished hope in the
hearts of the crew, who the moment they
were struck never expected to see land
again.

New Year Resolution.

The commencement of new year be-
ing an excellent time to "turn over new
leaf, let those who ought to turn, do it.
Let those who have habits that are OBJ.
noxious to other people or injurious to
themselves, resolve to abandon them.
Let those who practice deceit and dis
honesty resolve to be honest men. Let
those who are indolent and mere leeches
upon their friends or upon society, nerve
themselves up to resolution of manly
activity and usefulness. Let croakers
resolve to look henceforth upon the
bright as well as upon the dark side of
every object and event. Let profane
men resolve to pronounce none but
chaste and proper words henceforward.
Let the reckless cultivate the spirit of
moderation and circumspection. Let
the rash and thoughtless tame their
headlong steeds. Let protesting Chris
tians labor very hard to be Christians Sin
spirit and in truth" Finally, let all
of us. old and young, rich or poor, male
or female, resolve to square all our mo-
tives, ambitions and conduct by that
noble ard ennobling rule of life, name
ly: Do unto others as We would wish
them to do unto us. That one "golden
rule" coupled with faith in Gods in
finite goodness, is, after all, the grand
solution of life's toughest problems; it
is the finger of Wisdom pointing to hu-
man justice, peace and happiness.

Agriculture In Russia.

The agricultural correspondent of the
Independence of Beige writes that in
Russia there are immense tracts of land
of an extraordinary fertility, from
which, owing to the want of population
capable Of creating domestic market,
whatever is produced can only be of use
when exported. The new railways have,
therefore, given an immense impetus to
agriculture in Russia, which the corre-
spondent believes destined to become a
formidable competitor with the agricul-
turists of the West. Great improve
ments have been effected in all depart
ments of the art of late. Scarcely ten
years ago the grain in the Southern
provinces was reaped by the hand,
threshed in the most primitive fashion,
and loaded on carriages drawn by oxen,
was borne to the nearest port whence it
was despatched to the great London
market. All this required twelve or
fifteen months. Now everything is
changed. Reaping is done by ma
chinery, threshing is accomplished by
threshers of the latest and most perfect
model, the grain is loaded at the nearest
station for Odessa, where large steamers
receive IL Ill OTutI W DtdI IL W ltS utstl-
nation. Four or five months at most
suffice to bring thescorn from the Step
pes of Russia to the immense grain
stores OF the West. In a few years
more the Russians will grind their corn
themselves, and export the -four ready
prepared, thus keeping for their own
purposes the refuse which is useful for
cattle, and turning to their own advan-
tage all that is now loss in changing the
wheat into -four.

whom very innocently passed to the
