TIE Florence Canal Company is quietly awaiting the settlement of matters that have apparently been in- stigated to menace its success, before making any further large outlay of money in the construction of its sys- tenn of reservoirs. This inaction, while working injury to the country by retarding its development, is the natural result of antagonisms that every progressive citizen must deeply censure the company for its desire to avoid tedious, expensive and long-con- tinued lawsuits in making a struggle for it's rights that have met with such determined opposition. The develop ment of our great expanse of fertile land is dependent upon the water sup ply necessary for its irrigation, and while we recognize the fact that the capitalists putting their money into the great enterprise of building the huge canal are moved by a spirit of remunerative recompense rather than sentiment of practical philanthropy, -..'4. -Aal;~A how nttA-i.' l-r-- upon the power and energy that s is stored up in the almighty dollar, anJ ,1o rt;c,,1o rf,, ;,, aseo.io+a1 ooO;tol

They may expect to receive a large annual return as interest upon their invest ment, but they actually create prop erty and productive values not only sufficient to yield them this expected revenue, but enough to maintain a large and prosperous community, out of a previously barren and worthless country. Thus any possible shade of avarice that may enter into the spirit of their enterprise begets radiant sequence of great public good and to that extent becomes virtue closely allied to philanthropy. The land 80 nearly worthless that even the government price of$1.25 per acre was no temptation to the settler, no mat ter how thoroughly titled is still worth less without supply of water for irri- gation, and it is the possession of this precious element that gauges the value of the soil that receives it, and the farm that is held at fifty dollars per acre has four-ffths of it's value vested in its water supply. No one can ques tion the worth of water in the develop ment of our arid lands and it seems incredible that people interested in the growth and prosperity of the To- cality in which they reside can be found to oppose, harass and menace an enterprise that, like the Florence canal, is so greatly needed

THERE is no longer doubt that a new political idea is crystalizing into a strong movement throughout the southern states among the business men and manufacturers, having for its object the attainment of the balance
 of power in political contests with view to shape public affairs to their advantage and satisfaction. They are particularly opposed to what they term the "bourbon" element, and the
 first fruits of their success will be the disruption of the "solid South" as a political factor and the establishment of more advanced ideas in both in dustrial and political affairs. Such an organization is supposed to possess the power to dictate the terms of its assimilation with either party. The fact is recognized that the admission of several new states from among the territories will re-establish the re- pubhcans in power for an indefinite period of time, and they wish to fall into line with the new order of things. They see themselves in hopeless minority in the future and are begin ming to exercise an independence oi political thought and action that aug urs well for their future welfare.

west Of Middlebmgh, met with q
very serious accident. Her chill
dren had been to church and when
they came home she got up to open

way N the darkness, she fell down a

bones in her left forearm and badly
brusing herself about the head and
face. DIR. Barber, her attending
physician, informs us that though
the injuris are serious they will not
prove fatal.

FIFTIEPH CONGRESS.
eENATE.


WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE resolution
offered yesterday by Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, instructing the committee on
finance to make an investigation of the
cotton bagging pool, was taken up and
adopted.
After a number of bills of minor i'm
portance had been passed, Senator Sher-
man took the floor in opposition to the
fisheries treaty.
HOUSE,
The speaker appointed the following
members of the military committee as
house conferees on the army appropri-
alton bill: Messrs. Townshend, of ILL
nois; Marsh, of Pennsylvania; and Laird,
of Nebraska.
Mr.. Outhwaite, of Ohio, appealed to the
house to permit him to call up for imme-
date consideration senate bill making an
appropriation to enable Che several execu-
tive departments to participate in the
Ohio Centennial exposition, to be held in
Columbus, in September and October
next. Mr.. Wise, of Virginia, offered an
amendment, providing that if there shall
be any surplus OF the appropriation made
to enable the departments to participate
III ulo OhlO amy OSuuOhhlul CA HbnihA0Hl
it shall be used to enable the departments
to be represented at the expositions TO be
held at Augusta, Ga, and Richmond, Va.
Mr.. Henderson, of Ohio, offered an
amendment appropriating $250,00O TO aid
the exposition to be held by tho colored
race in Atlanta, Ga, in 1889 apd 1890
under auspices of the Colored Worlds
Fair association of America. He argued
that if congress was to give government
aid in this class of cases, it should GER
tainly be affored to struggling race
which wished to show its advancement
since their emancipation from slavery.
Mr.. Warner offered an amendment
appropriating $4,000 to enable the de-
partments to be represented at the Kan
sas City exposition, TO be held in Septem-
Der and October. After a long debate all
the amounts were adopted.

yeas, 6S; nays, 81. No quorum.
The house then adjourned.
