RETALIATION OF DESERT
LAMB.
Senator Marker, Of WASH


Senator Marker, of Washoe
county, has introduced a bill
which il passed will materially
assist in the reclamation of our
desert lands and which will pro-
vide a source of permanent rev.
enue for the State. The bill
provides for the appointment of
a Reclamation Board, consisting
of five members, including the
Governor and Surveyor General
as ex-officio members. This
Board will have power to utilize
water available for irrigation, Of
which there is an ample guam
tity ifjudiciously used, with the
authority to construct necessary
bitches. Over three-fourths of the
100000 acre school grant can
be profitatly cultivated if water
for irrigation could be secured
by the class Of people who are
willing to settle upon and inn
prove small quantities of land.
The bill provides that the Board
shall select suitable places
where there is available water
and as soon Is water is ready for
use notify the owners of the
land, whether of large or small
tracts and from that time charge
a yearly water rental of one dol
lar per acre. In addition 10 pro-
viding a perpetual source of
revenue this bill if it is passed
will rapidly increase the school
fund by charging the sale of the
lands. 1t will also have the eff
feet of preventing to a great ex-
tent any monopoly of large
tracts by non-residents, as the
water tax Of one dollar per acre
which will be levied as soon as
the water is ready for use
whether such water is or is not
used, while falling lightly upon
those who are actual settlers and
cultivators, will deter those who |
aim to get possession Of great
areas and hold them for specu-
lative purposes. 1t will also
more economically utilize the
water which now under indi-
vidual control is wasted to a
greater extent than is generally
understood even in those dis
trictS where there Is q cry OF
scarcity of water. Settlers Of
small means would gladly pur-
chase from forty to one hundred
and sixty acres of our really
fertile sagebrush lands if they
were assured that water for
irrigation could be obtained, and
we would thus IN spite of the
general belief that this State is
a desert have permanent agri-
cultural foundation upon which
to build the future prosperity of
Nevada.

THE EDITOR.

An editor ough to be fully abreast
III the age Ii which lie lives, and he
ought to use every effort to keep
himself So That editor who has
never read and compared the history
Of nations; who has never canyassed
the political field; who has not gone
to the front borders of mental re-
search; who has never bathed his
mental self in the tidal wave of civ.
ilization, who has never had a clean
and comprehensive conception OF the
wants Of his country and the wants
of the people, will never be OF any
value to the world In this restless
and progressive age when everything
is highly tinctured with the elements
of progress, when even the daintlest
and most delicate little flower IS
susceptible Of progressive improve.
ment and when the very air seems
impregnated with an energizing es-
sence, an editor must run and scatter
the news to the hungry millions as
be goes The people want something
instructive. They are not content
with reading papers that are filed
up with criticisms, and with old trite
''clippings.' They do not want Sim
ply to see that in the papers that APP
pears to be popular, and that editor
who "noats around" and endeayors
to fall in with the tide of public opin-
ion. and write up what he imagines
will meet the appreciation of popular
opinion, will never be of any materi-
al benefit to the world. Study the
wants of the country regardless OF
the vox socIETATIs, and whatever
else than the mere news, that is taken
to fill up the paper present the
wants Of the country, and bring
them before the public till it may be
seen by the public that such things
are for the good Of the country. This
is the only way to make mark in
the world as an editor.

WINFIELD S. HANCOCK.

General Hancock is now being
spoken Of rs a suitable man for the
Democratic candidacy in the presi-
dental campaign Of 1884. 1t is in
deed early to begin to convass the
political field for a, candidate who
will be able to go through the pros
pectivc campaign, and who will be
able despite the influences of central
lzing powers, to carry the party. IT
seems that the greatest difficulty
and the greatest care is to find q
man Of sufficient influence and pres
tige to carry the sectional vote of the
party. The democratic party wants
a man, whether he he man OF very
comprehensive and definite views Of
craftsmanship, or whether he have
manifest characteristic of patriot
ism-who can carry New York, and
the south. We are admonished from
the failures of the recent past, and
from the precedent of ages agone
and by the histories of nations that
such IS not wise plan. Our opin-
ion is, and it may be erroneous, but
it is our opinion nevertheless, that
the time has come in the history Of
this country, when a political party
ought to nominate man noted fol
his integrity and ability, regardless
of sectionalism. General Hancock
is a good man and a great soldier
and the maligners with all their con
tumelious intention, and political
degradation, have never succeeded in
diminishing his character. But not
withstanding the purity Of his char
acter; and his military ingenuity
and his record as an honest, high
toned gentleman, he is not the man
for the presidency of these United
States. and he will never reach that
high position. If he were the man,
it is too soon to call him out. There
is such a thing as getting man on
the track too early, too long before
the race begins. If a man is called
out now, he will in every conceivable
probability run himself down before
the race begins, and when he ought
to be fresh and vigorous, and at the
apex of the campaign enthusiasm
he will be weird and exhausted so tt
speak. If Hancock is the man we
think he is, he will not accept the
nomination in 1884. We think, too
that there ought to be consolidation
enough and generosity to elect the
next president from Texas, and W.
think that we could name man who
could be elected. OF course this i;
only our opinion, but in regard t.
Hancock chances tor the presiden
CIV, there seems to be pretty conclus
| i've evidence, that he can never reacl
it. Don't run him.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

AGRICULTURE.

The cultivation of the soil accord
ing to scientific principles is one of
the most interesting and instructive
pursuits that a man can engage IN. A
man need not have collegiate edu-
cation in order to find a laboratory
Of interesting and entertaining facts
in the cultivation of the soil, but q
common English education, and some
knowledge of the common sciences,
which he may acquire by reading a
few scientific books. All he needs
is a few books ON the elementary
principles of natural philosophy and
chemistry, and good agricultural
newspaper, and then he is ready to
begin his work in highly interest
ing way. 1t is generally thought
that common farmer does not need
to know anything except, to know
how and when to hollow ''ha' and
'sge," to a pertenaceous mule. This
is one of the grand mistakes that is
made by the majority of the farmers
everywhere, for there is no class of
men that can utilize knowledge to
any greater advantage than the com
mon farmer Now is the time to be
discussing the merits of deep and
thorough blowing, and the condi-
tion the ground ought to be in when
the crop is planted, in order to real
ize the greatest possible yield. A
great many good farmers argue that
the corn land ought to be thrown up
in ridges prior to planting in order
to allow the land to dry out, and the
same farmers argue that the corn
ought to be "laid by with high
ridges thrown up to retain the moist
ure. There is strange inconsistent
CIV about this method and it is APP
parent that one theory works adj
versely to the other. If to throw up
the land in the spring dries it out,
will it not also dry it out to throw
up those ridges in the summer? The
right thing to do, is to pillow the land
deep so that the process of drawing
moisture from below can be kept mp
all summer. In the summer, if the
land is not plowed deep, the hot sun
drive the productive elements of the
soil beyond the reach Of the running
roots of the vegetation. If the
ground is loosed up to considera-
Bile depth this will be prevented.
All vegetation carries on sort of
heating process by which it draws
certain elements necessary to its
growth, from the atmosphere. III
however, the moisture is driven ont
Of the earth so the vegetation can
not draw its supply from the ground,
the breath Of food from the air will
not suffice. Plow deep and LAY by"
your crop with the ground level and
you will make crop.

The extreme arrogance of the pro
prietors of some periodicals and
newspapers is enough to astound the
statue of Jupiter Olympus, and
stare cigar stand sign out of coun-
tcnance. just now we have a propo-
sition before us from the Kellogg
Printing Company of Little Rock,
asking us to insert about a fourth OF
a column advertisement to warrant
an exchange with them for their Ec-
lectic Monthly. They claim that on
account of the literary character of
the Eclectic Monthly they cannot
exchange with the weekly papers.
We made long notice of that jour
nal when the prospectus came out,
and then we made another when the
first number reached us, and now
they want us to give them a quarter
of a column notice to justify an ex-
change. We send out twice as much
reading matter in month as they
do, and four times as much original
matter, and whether as good or not,
it costs us as much brain work and
as much money No, we will not
insert the notice. We viii subscribe
for a magazine that is up with the
times.

We must have Teachers Assoc
citation In Pope county.

Fellow Teachers:
Pope county fingers in shadow
in shadow not to be lifted until the
standard of our public schools is ele-
waited and the teacher prepares him
self with as much care as the lawyer
for the bar, the physician for his
practice, or the artisan for. his trade.
Many young men think they see
through the profession of law, a mag
niiicent home, and stepping stones
to distinguished offices that promise
what men call fame. Or some turn
their thoughts to medicine, to the
healing art. a profession honorable
in itself, and represented by some of
the most gifted sons of earth. But
here, there is generally an interlude.
They make the startling discovery
that they are in need of a suit OF
clothes, and the first question is
where can I get me a SCHOOL," no
preparation for the work, no taste
for the business, no philanthropic
spirit to enlist their energies.
Fellow teachers, this is why we
want a Teachers Association in
Pope county. II the teachers OF
Pope county are thoroughly pre-
pared for their work they can, by
their influence, get rid of these hob
bies and elevate public and private
schools in Pope county.
1t is an awful thought to me- the
responsibility of guiding hundred
minds in the light of science so ten
derby as never to discourage. of
moulding hundred characters for
virtue, integrity and honor! of shap-
ing a hundred destinies for eternity
without any preparation.
Teachers and others, in Pope coun-
ty, who want to see public schools
elevated and Pope county the ban
ner county educationally in the state,
please send me your address. Adj
dress me at Russellvile Ark.

MEDLEY.

The impression is going the rounds
that we are from the "North." This
is a mistake, for we were brought up
in the grand old state Of Texas, and
lived there till 1879. We have walk
ed through the sugar farms of Louis
lana. and over the cotton farms of
Mississippi, and over the corn farms
Of Tennessee, and over the tobacco
farms Of Kentucky, and over the
wheat farms of Illinois, and now we
are here in Arkansas where we find
things according to the statements
made in the Democrat. We came to
Arkansas last December young
man and by our energy we have dis
covered the state of affairs mention
ed in previous numbers. We want
to work for the good OF our country,
for the advancement of its interests,
and for the development of its resour-
ces, and we know of no other way to
do that, than to show its deiicicn-
cies and apply a remedy. Some of
the papers want to ridicule us lit

us occasionally, but we move on sail

THE political parties of this state
are at q dead standstill.- The ex-
treasurer and auditor, and land COM
missioner of the democratic party,
and the Z. S. Marshal of the repub-
lican party have succeeded.eminent-
ly in setting partyism in disrepu-
table attitude in the state. The re-
publican says the democrat is lead
ing the van of rascaldom in the state,
and the democrat says the republi-
can is leading, and thus they 60.
The fact is, politics does not have
ANYTHING to do with it, for it is
downright avaricious rapacity that
is seeking qualification, and if 1t
finds it in the party, the party suf-
fers the result. Whenever the day
comes that men have courage enough
to vote for men of principles, we may
look for better times. There is great
inducement to rascality in these
times, and an idea of fast living
coupled with other weaknesses hnrl
our officials into vortex from which
they will never rise.

Ir is strange to say that legisla-

impede the progress Of the railroad
interest in Arkansas and not in 9th
er states. Missouri regulates the
fare on the Iron Mountain road, and
does not allow the company to charge
over three cents mile, and yet she
is state of railroads. AS soon as
the Iron Mountain reaches the Ar
kansas line, it charges five cents a
line. No wonder we build up no
