The provisions of the revised statutes relating to the governmento of territories, shall have the same force and effect Tn the new territory. as in other territories of the United States. It provides for & governor, secretary, legislative as- sembly, supreme court, etc., and for delegate to the National laws of the United States. not locally appli cable, shall have equal force and ef- feet in the new territory as Tn the United States, but no law of the United States shall be construed to interfere with the local government of Indian tribes.

The many abortiye attempts to

The many abortiye attempts to get up labor parties and reform parties in the United States on the basis of compromising differences and pool Ing issues ought to be enough, il there were nothing else, to show that parties cannot be manufactured first aud furnished with principles after ward. It IS indeed true that the two parties which constitute the normal political divisions in every country may hold together for considerable time after the life of distinctive prin- ciples has gone out of them, by vir. tue of the strength of organization, the influence of habit and traditions, "the cohesive power of public plum der" or the hope of 1t. But a new party, winch necessarily has none of these things, can only grow up by virtue of the attractive force Of a principle strong enough to unite men Tn a common purpose and to hold them together.
 The above is an utterance of Mir. Henry George. Every one ac- quainted with current history knows who Henry George is, and, also, something of his theories regarding land titles, estates and landlords. Although he IS demagogue, he has shown in this statement that he has a correct idea of the science of party ism. A party must have distinctive well defined principles for it's basis or 1t can not stand. A party can not be built upon utoplan vision, upon conglomeration of theories {; It must have for it's foundation principles and practicalitles. Meth CT can party be founded and devel, oped in a few years. Years and years are required to establish a party. and as many years are requir ed to eliminate neon sistencies and impracticabilities. The two leading parties in the United States have been formulating through centuries. The democracy Of the democratic party is 8 natural force, it is force peryadlng all nature and has been for ages insinuating itself into poll ties. It is useless to attempt to or. ganize a new party for any emergen cy. We must adjust those eme.gen cles to the principles of the party in power, and if the democracy IS prop erly inforced the government will be wholesome.

A REMARKABLE SHOWING FOR B. B. B. AGAINST OTH-

THE press, metropolitan and rural, is teeming in this day of socialism, communism, and anarchy, with edi- torials and communications on the city and country, the advantages and prerogatives of the country ,and so on. The.able and.enterprising correspon dents who furnish the people with Washington gossip, and news from the capitol seem to be devoting much of their time and talent to array the large cities, and city people before the world to the greatest possible advantage. No part of the country has any prerogatives over any other part and the press should not be subverted to exciting and fostering iealousies between localities. Cites are the centres of power and wealth, and yet the power and wealth of the nation are in the country, in the ru- ral districts. Cities could not exist to any reasonable extent were it not for a prosperous country around; the city people look to the country for bread and meat, for all the pro ductions of the soil, the raw material of the commerce of the world must come from the country. The major ity of the merchants and business men come from the rural districts. On the other hand the country de- pends upon the city. No country could utilize all of it's own produc- tions. There must be others besides the producers to use cotton goods, or cotton would be worth nothing. There must be others than the pro- ducers to use meat or we could not dispose of our surplus stock if there were not. Thus we might go through the whole catalogue of our products. Then we can readily see that we are dependent, city upon country, and country upon city. "No man liyeth to himself" is phi losophy that applies to social, politi cal and commercial questions,as well as to religious and individual ques, tions. There should be no jealousy between city and county.

| TIE Globe Democrat thinks that the imperative duty of the Republi- can party is to nominate some one for president who will be elected, and that Blaine cannot be. That journal says that Blame was beaten once by the democrats, and will be again if he is nominated. We would like to suggest that if the re- publicans desire to vote for some one
 who will be elected, they turn over and vote with the democrats for Cleveland.

TIE Department of Agriculture has sent out an elaborate report con corning irrigation in the United States. A large portion of our country is poorly supplied with water, and the rain fall is not sufiic- tent for the continued growth of veg
 itation. If we had some system of irrigation in the droulhy districts it would certainly be great blessing to the country. If we had plenty of canal water it is 2 philosophic fact that the ram fall would be increased.
