RECLAMATION AND DEBRIS PROBLEMS.

After the expenditure of much time,
money and engineering talent, it has at last
been definitely ascertained that the prob
lens of reclamation and mining debris are
capable of a satisfactory solution, and that
the way to treat them is by conpre-
hensive system. The farmers, the miners,
the inhabitants of cities exposed to over
flow through the filling up of the rivers,
are all interested in having such system
adopted. Great sums have been expended
in partial plans of reclamation, but because
of their want of harmony with any general
system they have been abortiye. All the
experience of the past enforces the lesson
that safety for the State lies in unity OF
action, and in that alone. All the experience
of the past shows that so long as any IN
terest or section tries to secure its pro-
lection without reference to other sections,
its labor will be in vain. Every step in
the investigations which have been recently
concluded point the same way. There
is 10 longer any uncertainty about the
matter. We know the policy which
science assures us will succeed, and we
know that every other policy has already
failed. Under these circumstances it is a
matter not only for surprise, but for adj
verse comment, that the first attempt to
utilize and apply the knowledge gained at
so much expense should have been met
with clamor of hasty and acrimonious
objections, instead of being considered
calmly, and with view to the removal of
whatever Objectionable features it may
contain. Notwithstanding the over
whelming evidence now before the public
of the necessity of concerted action on
these questions, it would seem impossible
to introduce any bill proposing to
deal practically with them, without
causing an instant revival OF all the mar
row, petty, short-sighted jealousies and
apprehensions which have had so much TO
do with the failure of previous attempts in
this direction. 1t is evident that if the
serious problems to be considered are to be
handled in this spirit, nothing can be done
this session, and we desire to point out
now that if remedial legislation is not Sc
cured it will be owing to the unintelligent
and captious opposition of those who
while incapable of creating a practicable
system themselves, seek to discredit every
proposition advanced by others.

what must be regarded as the crucial demon
stration of his system the demonstration.
namely, that the methods he advocates would
really bring about the improvement he seeks
in the condition of mankind.
The very compactness of his argument
tends to blind the reader to the narrowness of
its limits, and to produce conviction of its
truth. 1t must therefore be pointed out that
this compactness, when understandingly re-
garded, is really cause for suspicion rather
than conviction. And for reasons which we
will now advance. Previous writers on politi-
cal economy have, with few exceptions, COM
menced unprejudiced and uncommitted If
they have seemed to get confused occasionally,
if they have at times adopted inconsistent or
mutually destructive hypothesis, it was be-
cause they were traversing country without
roads, over which every traveller must pick
out his own path. But it is not so with Mr..
George. In this case we must study the
genesis of the book in order to obtain the
data for Just conclusions in regard to it. It
is well known in this State, at least among
literary men, that Mr.. George has for several
years entertained the belief that all taxes
ought to be placed upon land. That he reached
that belief long before he had given the sub
ject anything ike an exhaustive examination,
we have no doubt he would himself admit. But
in this fact we have the explanation of much
that without it must seem perplexing. 1t
teaches us that in all his economical studies
Mr.. George was seeking confirmation for
pre- conceived hypothesis, and it at once be-
comes evident that in doing this the desire
to strengthen his argument has repeatedly
warped his Judgment, and at times even seri-
ousy affected the fidelity OF his representa-
tions of conflicting opinions. As illustra-
lions of what we mean we will adduce his
