of the House Committee on Inv aid
Ponsions, for HE uutiriug energy and
constant application in aid of pen

the constitution is not yet enforced
by appropriate legislation. Millions
of American citizens are denied even
the common law rights Of locomotion
because they are black. If such
wrongs are TO be redressed, the Re-
publican party alone can do it,
"The currency is in an abnormal
condition and must be reformed. 1t
is undoubtedly true that the Repub-
Iican party Is not agreed how to eff
feet that reform; neither is the Dem
ocratic party. Neither party, as
such, yet sees clearly the right way.
But there are two reasons for believ-
ing that the Republican party rather
than its rival caa best treat this great
question of the fna8cos: First, as
the former has hitherto found the
true way through graver difficulties
than this, so we believe it is more
apt to find the true way through this.
Second, you have abundant assur-
ance that when Republicans discover
the true way they will pursue it.
That assurance has not yet been
given by the other party, while the
Republican party has given undoubt-
ed evidence in the past that II viii
protect the national credit and
honor"
The question Of cheap transporta-
ton is the third and last subject
which the committee think will be
the vital question in the coming cam
paign. After enumerating the pro-
ducts of tho different agricultural
states, and hat great saving even
slight reduction on tho cost of
Transporting bushel of grain would
make, the address concludes with an
outline Of the proposed plans for the
connection of the Mississippi Valley
with the Atlantic by additional trunk
lines for transportation. Against
these the Democratic party is pledg~
ed. Ii these are feasible, they can
only be carried out by the intelligent
legislation of Republican congress.
If anything is to be done to cheaper
transportation, the Republicans must
be depended upon to carry it out,

2. Dishonesty.
3. Patronizing dancing schools.
4. Using tobacco.
5. OF exhibiting and manifesting a

6. Ofusing personal efforts to in

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.

James Campbell, president of the Chicago
s. Superior railroad company, recently visited
London to negotiate the bonds of the COM
pauy, and, in letter TO the Hon. David At
wood, of the Madison journal, he announces
the failure of his mission. He says that cap
italsts will not touch the securities of West
ern railroads, or railroads in what are termed
there the Granger states AS reason for
this refusal he Gays that they cite the ieslsla-
ton of those states in regard 10 railroads, and
particularly that of Wisconsin. Although
money was plenty and large amounts Of 1t
seeking investments at low interest, capitalists
could hardly be induced even to examine
Western railroad enterprise with view to in
vesiing in them.
Several Eastern railroad companies, among
them the Northern Pennsylvania Central,
bad negotiated their bonds at large price and
a low rate of interest, while, so far he could
learn, not one Western road had been put
upon the market for some time. He further
says that London papers, particularly the
Times, contain articles warning capitalists
against Western state securities and referring
to recent legislation on railroad subjects as
the reason for so doing.

survey Of the Colorado Desert.

Senator Jones of Nevada has offered
a resolution in the United States Sem
ate instructing the Committee on Com
merce to inquire into the survey of
the Colorado desert. The Importance
of this matter to Southern California
can hardly be overestimated, and it is
surprising that it has attracted so little
attention here when it is consid-
cred how important a modification
in our climate the projected
submersion of the desert would effect.
More than a year ago DIR. J. P. Wild
ney published in the Overland Month
In an elaborate and carefully prepared
article, giving the results CT his obser-
vations, and his theory of the effect
such change would have on the rain
fall in Arizona and Southern Califor-
MIA. DR.. WIS examination of the
whole question was SO thorough, and
his acquaintance with the laws gov
erning climatic conditions is so extern
sive that we have great confidence in
the correctness of his conclusions, and
feel certain that if the waters of the
Colorado river can be again turned
into the great basin left by the reced-
ing Gulf of California, the rainfall in
this section of the State would be mate
rally increased, and at the same time
rendered more regular and reliable.
The publication of the article alluded
to above first called attention to the
feasibility of converting this basin into
a lake, and it has awakened
a deep interest among scientific
men, but here where the great
est interest ought naturally to be
expected, the subject is scarcely al
luded to. The irrigation problem has
received the earnest attention of many
of our leading minds, and it is con-
coded on all hands that few more
inches of rain would be of incalculable
value to the agricultural interests Of
the country. The strong probability
that a decided increase of moisture
would be the result of the proposed UNI
dertaking, makes it important that Sen
ator jones' resolution should pass, and
we suggest that the Chamber of Com
merce, which has at various times
during the past winter brought its in
fluence to bear in favor of objects of
interest to our section, ought to take
some steps to strengthen the hands Of
the gentlem en- who are moving in this
matter,

Temperance Legislation.

A variety of bills have been pre-
scented in the Legislature thus far
looking to the restraining of the traffic
in spirituous liquors, bat the only one
that has met with much favor is the
one fathered by Senator Pendegast and
known as the "Local Option" bill.
This measure has passed both Houses
of the Legislature, and is therefore
likely to become law. Its principal
provisions are that whenever one
fourth of the number of legal voters
of any township, incorporated city or
town shall petition tine Board of Su-
pervisors Of such county, or the county
wherein such township, incorporated
city or town is situated, to call spe-
cial election, to vote upon the question
of "Liquor License" or "No Liquor
License" the Board of Supervisors
Of the county receiving said petit
tion shall within one month after
said petition is filed with the Clerk Of
said Board, make proclamation for the
holding of said election in the town.
ship. incorporated city or town, as may
be asked for in such petition. The
tickets voted at such election shall
contain the words "For License" or
against License" If a majority Of
the votes cast at such election "For
License" or against License" shall
contain the words against License"
then it shall not be lawful for any
Court, Board or officer to issue any
license for the sale of any spirituous,
vinous, malt or other intoxicating
liquors in said township, city or town
wherein said election may have been
held, at any time after the determine
ii on of the result of said election; pro-
vided, that nothing contained in the
provisions of this act shall prevent the
issuing of license to druggists for the
sale of liquors for medicinal and man
ufactur1ng purposes.
Elections are not to take place oftener
than two years, and the sale Of liquor
in localities where the community
vote against license is punishable by
fine and imprisonment. Though
doubtful of the possibility of making
people sober by legislating on the sub
ject, we see nothing unreasonable in
allowing each community to settle
the question to suit itself, and If the
Legislature must dabble in the matter
the "local option" will do as well as
anything else.
