THE Senatorial discussion, this
week, of an appropriation bill of $3.50.
900 for irrigating purposes brings to
mind the inca'culable advantages that
governmental appropriation for
irrigating canals would be to Idaho
Every year Congress makes appropri.
ations for small navigabIe streams
and the Improvements made last about
as long as the money appropriated. but
could a diversion be made and the
money be expended for irrIgatino
canals and bitches the improvements
would be lasting and the waste lands
would be made to yield abundant
harvests. Our next delegate to Con.
gress must look to this measure and
if he succeeds in obtaining a liberal
appropriation Idaho will soon become
what Senator Hearst says it will be.
one of the grandest States in the
Union.

Wool and Cotton.

The present tariff gives no protec.
ton to cotton, but the manufacture OF
cotton has prospered, as this compar,
ison of census returns will show:

The abolition of the duty on wool
by the Mills bill, if it becomes law.
will be just as beneficial to the man
ufactures of woolens. What right has
raw wool to be protected any more
than raw cotton?
In the recent vote on the wool tariff
in Congress the Representatives of
eight States, in which are owned an
average of 100000, sheep apiece.
voted: For free wool, 10; for the
present tax, Is. The Representatives
of five States, which average less than
800 900 sheep, voted: For free wool
10; for the tax, SO. The demand for
taxation does not seem to have come
from the wool growers.-Ex.

THE largest boulder in the pathway
to the passage of the Mills bill is the
free wool issue. And the reason of
this is there are huge monopolies con-
trolling 100000, 600 capital and of
great political strength who are fight
ing its passage. The ring influence is
hard to break but it will be broken
and when broken it can never recover
its strength again.

If the Democrats were managing
the Republican party and campaign
this year they couldn't arrange things
for themselves better than the Repub.
licans are doing it. The Chicago plat
form seems to been framed with the
special object in view of turning indie
pendent voters and lukewarm Repub-
licans into the Democratic ranks. Then
the Chicago ticket is weaker than any
Democrat had the right to hope it
would be. For the Republicans to
pass by such men as Blaine, Sherman,
Allison and Depew, for Harrison can
not be regarded otherwise than as the
best kind of good luck for the Demo
Gratis. 1t cannot be denied that many
of the brainiest men and ablest poll
ticians in the country are members of
the Republican party; but these were
cast aside and two of the weakest
were chosen for the ticket, as if the
design had been to give every advant.
age possible to the Democrats.

New Haven Merchant Arrested For Off,
 fering Prizes With His Goods.
 The case against Daniel M. Corthell, proprietor of Chapel street shoe store. who was arrested Saturday, charged with violating the law regarding the disposal of goods by offering lottery or hazard like inducements, came up in the city court this morning. Upon motion of Attorney c. K. Bush, his counsel, the case was continued to November 30 Mir Bush says that the scheme of MT Corthell is in no way violation of the law or lottery scheme, and the defence will try the case on it's merits in the city court and will take it to the supreme court if necessary
 MT Corthell offers to give away $25O in gold before certain date. When a pur- chaser buys anything the amount of his purchase is punched out on card given him on the same principle that mileage is punched on railroad ticket, or restaur- ant communication ticket is punched to indi- cate the price of food eaten. The person who purchases the most goods before the distribution will take the first prize. The defence claims that the lottery element does not enter into this, and the city at torney says it does, for no one knows whether he bought the most or not.-New Haven Register
