IRRIGATION IN VICTORIA

Melbourne, the capital of Victo-
ria, Australia, was recently invaded
by formidable delegation of farm
ers. They numbered several hum
dreds, and their speakers alone made
up phalanx thirty tongues strong.
Their object was to ascertain what
prospects there were of state assis-
tance to a mammoth scheme of irri-
cation. 1t was proposed that the
Colony should take measures for
raising loan of fifteen million dol
lars, "to be expended in construct
ing large reservoirs, weirs, canals,
and other similar works, for the pur-
pose of irrigating the whole extent
of the northern plains" What en-
couragement the Government at this
time gave the farmers is not report
ed as yet. Yet it is widely known,
beyond the bounds of the Colony,
even, that the Government of Victo-
ria have been alive to the Importance
of the great object in question.
They have appointed a Royal Com
mission on Water Supply, whose de-
liberations are now in progress they
have sent one of their members to
the Pacific Coast of America to look
into systems of irrigation there, and
they have had a Water Conservation
Act passed, the provisions of which
we are not acquainted with. There
seems, however, to be an insurmoun-
table prejudice among the people of
the country, against subsidizing from
the national treasury any enterprise
directly benefting only particular
class. This, however, it would ap-
pear, will not weigh against the
Governments Intervention on be-
half of the agricultural interest, to
the extent of negotiating loan.
All that will likely be asked of pri-
vate enterprise is guarantee of the
payment of interest from the start,
and, ultimately, principal. So i'm
mense a loan as the amount mention
ed above, to be raised by country
with population of scarcely milli-
on, and total annual revenue of
about $25, 700, 900, involves vast res
possibilities upon the rulers, besides
demanding no mean financial skill
and prudence to engineer. Indeed,
the very mention of such q proposal
implies a colossal confidence ON the
part of the people in the future oi
their country. How grand it would
be to have like confidence, we'll
grounded, existing among the popu'
lation of this Kingdom with regard
to their national future! 1t remains
to be seen whether the Victorians
can procure body of capitalists
within and without their country t.
float such a stupendous scheme
Coming home, is it not a consumma
tion devoutly to be wished that thi
nation was in a position to raise ,

EDITORIAL NOTES.

An article in the Brooklyn Eagle
holds that 1t is mediocrity that scores
most successes in life. Baseball is,
however, entirely ignored in the
argument.
Patent medicines are not such an
important article of commerce in
England as in America. This is be-
cause the rich prefer to give their
health in keeping of the doctors,
and the proprietary specifics are too
dear for the poor TO buy. The news
paper correspondent who gives this
information does not tell how the
poor keep up their physical tone.
Mr.. Walters, proprietor of the
London Times, when in New York q
few years ago, was shown through
Riverside Park. On reaching the
spot where General Grant now rests,
he thanked his friend who led him
there, saying he had travelled in
many lands, but had never seen such
q beautiful drive as that. Views of
the place in the illustrated papers
make one readily believe that the
taste of Mr.. Walters was correct.
In to-day's issue will be found a
very readable account of a yachting
contest preliminary to the great in
ternational race for the America
cup. 1t is matter of surprise that
there is not more of this delightful
pastime of yachting in a place OF
such favorable conditions for it as
Honolulu. Popular interest, and
the public's support, seem to be
welded much more to rowing aqua
tics. This is strange, in a climate
where physical exercise in the mini
mum is usually regarded as suffi-
cheney. We hope the breezy account
of the New Bedford race may have
it's due effect in stimulating the
sport here.

Newspapers sysssm of Charging

Tho price OF an advertisement in n
newspaper depends on the space and the
time 1t runs. In all papers run on busi.
ness basis there Is q regular system fer
making charges, whish IL an interesting
one. II IL the falrest that can be devised.
II Is established on the plan that an ad.
vertisement for long period or large
space Is what Is most to be sought after
by the publisher, and is nearly tho same
rule followed In business gene rally, It Is
this The price for one, three, six ard
twelve months Is represented by tho ig-
ures /, 2, 3 and 5, that Is the price for q
year Is only five times that for q month,
for six months three times, and for three
months twice. The same rule applies TO
space, a celumn "a inches will cost i've
times what 2 inches will cost, whatever
the length OF time, Knowing the price for
any given space and time II Is easy under
this rule TO get II for any other space or
time. Any merchant can afford 10 and
probably would, follow about tho same
rule. For instance he would soil $1,000
worth OF goods for FIVE times the profit on
500 worth OF goods, 5000 worth for three
times the prefit aud $500 worth for twice
the profit. 500 profit on $1,000 sale Is az
good as $50 on 500 sale, because the
merchant can turn his money fast enough
to make up for 1t. This explains how II il
simply business for a newspaper 70 make
charges under tnis system.

The YaqulnA: Murder.

Last Sunday Nate Kirk, Of Brownsville a
son Of w r Kirk, was arrested for the mur-
der OF an Indian woman at Yaquina Bay, and
Monday was taken to Newport, d r N
Blackburn going along TO act as his counsel.
He was duly examined, and it being proven
that he was twenty miles away at the time
of the murder, was discharged. The act
was probably committed by an Indian.
Charging q yonng man with so grave q
crime as murder, on almost no evidence, ID
certainly very injudicious act. The va
quina Post gives the following account OF the
murder for which the arrest was made:
An Indian woman called Emma Cushman
was found dead near the spring midway be-
tween Newport and 0hlson's residence, on
Tuesday. A squaw brought the news to
Newport. Judge Stout ahd DIR Williams
repaired to the spot and found that the wo-
! man had been stabbed in the throat. appar.
emily with double-edged dagger. in three
places. Her hands had been tied together
with piece OF handkerchief 1t seems from
all we can learn todase Tuesday, that de.
ceased was stopping in campnear the place
of the murder. On Sunday afternoon two
men passed that way, one of them approach
ing the camp and, speaking todeceased, told
her TO come along as they wished to see her.
She told them to 90 on and she would follow
soon. They complied and she followed soon
after, and this was the last seen of her alive
so far as is known at this time It seems,
however, to have been cold Hooded mur.
der, and certainly demands themost vigor-
ous search and investigation at the hands OF
the authorities.
