6carcity.ef Wafer.

Never in the history of the country
has there been sodry season as the
present. Streams in Alpine coanty
which in past years have carried good
head OF water, are now as dry az a
powder house, and the Carson river
has less water than ever was known at
this time of the year. Many of the far
mers of the Valley have already cut
their grain for hay because 1t was i'm.
possible to get water enough to mature
it. What pity to see q mower in a
field of grain just headed out, that,
with reasonable amount of water
would yield upwards of ton to the
acre! Yet a number Of fields in Car
son Valley have already been cut for
hay, and others must be served in the
ssme manner, or the owners will lose
all.
The rain which fell last Tu esday
night did but little good, as it only
wet the ground about an inch in depth,
and the high wind which followed
dried that all out again. So about all
it accomplished was tofspoil what hay
the farmers had cut down.

DANGER OF IMMIGRATION

NHw YoHK, JulpG.-Mayor Hewitt,
in presenting to several boys and girls
prizes for good stories and poems,
givea by the Neil and Express yester-
pday, took occasion to deliver himself
on the immigration question. He
'esid: My experience in this office has
brought ME to the conclusion that the
time has come when greater restric.
ttions will hove to be imposed upon
Foreign immigration. There have
been coming from 100000 to 100000
people a year during the last three
)'years, largely oil persons who were un.
known iu the earliest immigration Of
the country. They come here practi-
fcally uniier contract of service to GER.
tain contractors, who bring them out
and undertake to sell their labor in the
United States IN competition with the
free labor of this country. This is a
|'Eew and a very great danger. 1t
|sthreatens not merely the livelihood
Of American citizens, but threatens
the prosperity of free institutions. AS
the labor Of these people is sold in the
block, 80 their votes can be sold.
They are delivered at the polls, and
where public sentiment is so finely
divided as it is between the great
parties of THIS country, .s.-emall contln.
gent'oan determine which shall possess
theGovernment of this country. Il
thinklthat if children are required to
be resident ofstl.is country for twenty
cue>years, it would not be great
hardship if we were to ask foreigners
for fourteen or twenty-one years resi-.
dence. l myself should be in favor of
Ftwsnty-one years"

ST.. Louis, July 12.
The first news that Brooks received
this morning wac that the Governor
had simply granted him a respite for
'twenty-one days, This he construed
to mean that the Governor intended to
take time to fully examine the case.
Later, Brooks received a telegram
from his attorney announcinga respite
of four weeks, arc stating that the
Governor refused absolutely to com,
mute his sentence or interfere in the
matter. This was sad blow to Brooks
hopes, and he said he could not under
stand it. He had felt confident that the
Governor would see his way clear and
grant his appeal for communication, but
now all hope was gone and he must
prepare for death.
