THOSE ARID LANDS.

We are very sorry to see broad-gauged
paper like the New York Herald take
such a narrow view of Senator STEW
ARTS scheme for retaining the arid
lands lying between the Missouri
river and the Pacific coast. The Herald
thinks that 1t discovers in the STEW
ART proposition shrewd scheme to
perpetuate the power of the Republican
party, and bases its opposition to Sena-
tor STEWARDS recommendation on the
ground that it would be of material as
sistance to President HARRISON in the
campaign of 1892. We are not prepared
to take issue with the Herald on this
proposition, because we are inclined to
the opinion that the administration will
be inclined to seize every advantage
that is presented to perpetuate its lease
of power. If the expenditure OF money III
the work of reclaiming these arid lands
will afford the administration an oppOr-
tunity to convert this arid area into
political capital we have not the slight
est doubt that it will be improved. But
we do hold that the STEWART scheme
is above mere partisan consideration,
and ought to be discussed solely with
reference to its national benefits, with
out regard to what party or individuals
may incidentally profit from it. Be-
tween the Missouri river and the Pa
cific ocean there are about 100000
acres of arid and therefore untillable
land. Senator STEWART, the chairman
of the senate special committee on irri-
Cation and arid lands. who passed
through this city in company with other
members of his committee during the
past summer on his way West to in
vestigate this subject, reports that
these lands can be made product
i've by system of irrigation
by the outlay of a sum equal to 81 per
acre. He estimates their present value
at from 50 cents 10 81 per acre, but If
they were irrigated they could be sold
for $40 per acre. In oLner words, the
expenditure necessary to be made by
the government would be s100,000,000,
while the return on the investment
would be $1,000, 100000. That doesn't
seem 10 be a bad financial scheme, to
say the least of it, and it would certainly
be much more profitable way of alb
sorbing the surplus than TANNERS re-
rating pension plan or WINDOWS bond
buying scheme. More than that, the re-
claiming of those lands means the con-
version of vast desert into fertile
and populous region, which would con-
tribute billions TO the national wealth.
The money return on the investment.
as great as it would be. would be the
smallest source of profit to the nation.
1t is possible that the Republican party
may reap a temporary advantage from
putting the STEWART proposition into
operation; yet shat would not Justify
the withholding of government aid and
support from scheme that promised
such great national benefits. Country
is greater than party.

A rANGLE-FOOTED PROBLEM

A question of some interest is raised
in the DakOtas as to the time when
constitutional prohibition will involve
liquor dealers in legal controversies, or
compel them to abandon their business.
The enabling act provides that the ter
ritorial laws shall continue in force
until the state legislatures supersede
them, except as modified or changed
by the constitutions" The territorial
law provides for licenses except in
counties where the people have voted
not to issue them. The constitutions OF
both states prohibit the manufacture or
sale of liquors. This evidently does
away with the privilege granted by the
territory. AS soon as the proclamation
of the president knocks out the last
barrier to state autonomy. the constitu-
ton become vitaIized. Any prior enact
ment antagonistic to its require
ments becomes at once uncon-
stltutional. But that instrument
does not impose penalties. A law with
out penalties may be morally binding,
but practically it will be generally in
effective. The constitution imposes
upon the legislatures the duty of pro-
viding penalties. The legislature of
South Dakota coDvenes in January,
and the North Dakota one will hardly
do any lawmaking before that time.
Their laws, unless passed as emergency
acts by two-thirds vote, will not go
into effect until June or July next. In
South Dakota the inference is natural
from the Republican Endorsement OF
the constitutional provision as the party
creed. and the fact that the party elected
about tve-sixths of the Legislature on
that plank, that the two-thirds majority
will be had to pass and put in force the
proposed law in the first days of the
session. In the North this will quite
certainly not be done, and the
law will not be in force until
July. The conundrum being dis
cussed there is as to the time
prohibition will begin to show what its
mission is. This is a matter of consid-
cradle business moment in some sec
tons, especially in the towns that have
breweries in operation. 1t does not APP
pear where there can be other Obliga-
lions than those of ordinary citizenship to
interrupt existing business in the liquid
line until the legislatures formulate the
constitutional requirement in law. No
penalties appear to be menacing the
dealers now. or are possible until the
Iawmaking body provides them. Legal
minds may find some complications III
the situation. but the apparent syiew is
that the constitution destroys repugnant
conditions, and furnishes the legislature
material for substitutes, but leaves an
opening until that is effected.

TaNNk;R,n TAUNT.

Mr.. TANNERS mouth continues to go
of with as much facility as when he
was in favor with the administration.
only that his tongue is now dipped i'll
gall, and it ways in derisiOn Of those
whom it once flatteFed. The idle Ja0-
behring's of this essence of eoneelt ana
stupidity have so disguised the public
that when he accidentally stumbles on
a sensible remark it fails to make the
impression it should. In his last
shot at Assistant Secretary BCssEY
the Little Corporal scores good
point in showing up the hypocrisy of
the administration by repeating Gen.
HARRIsoN's ante-electi0n declaration
at is no time TO use the apOthecary's
scales when You come to weigh the Serv-
ices of the men who saved the nation"
1t so happened that TANNER under
stood this remark to furnish the key
note for the administration Of the en-
sion office. and proceeded TO admins
ter the Office upon that theory
until he was ch0ked off. Secretary
NOBLE and his assistant. Mr.. BUssEY.
both affirm that it is necessary to use
the apOthecary's scales in measuring
the services of the men who saved the
nation. In other words, the law pro-
Yides what pensions shall be paid. and
to whom they shall be paid and it is
the opinion of NOBLE and BUsSEY that
the pension commissioner cannot eX-
eeed the authority conferred upon
him by law. OF course. an intelligent
public Will sustain the secretary of
the interior in this sensible opinion, and
none but blatant demagogues will be
disposed 10 question the motive OF il.
That was the precise ground that Mr..
CLEVELAND occupied during the four
years that he was president. He held
that the law fixed the pension standard,
and that it was the duty OF the officers
of the pension department to faith
fully execute the law. When PreSi-
dent HARRISON started out in
the campaign to bring the CLEVELAND
administration OF the pension Office into
ridicuIe he little realized what a John
Gilpin race he was running. 1t didn't
seem to have occurred to him that when
he would be bound by the obligations of
his oath to uphold the laws as he found
them, and that in the performance of
that obligation he would be compelled to
adopt the CLEVELAND method. But his
chickens have come home to roost, and
it is observed that Corporal TANNER
takes a malicious pleasure in assisting
the fowls to their perch. The HARRI-
son administration is being subjected
to more ridicule because of its incUn-
siStent and contradictory pension policy
than was incurred by the CLEVELAND
administration even while passing I'M
der the fire of partisan calumny. The
wisdom of the CLEVELAND pension
policy is approved by the fact that
after years wandering in the wilder
ness of Tannerism the HARRISON adj
ADMINISTRATION has been compelled to re-
turn to the CLEVELAND system of using
the apOthecary's scales provided by the

New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE executive
council of the American Bankers asso-
citation met hele yesterday to consider
the proposition submitted to the recent
convention of the association at Kansas
City by President st. John, of the Mer-
camille National Bank of New York, for
an increase of silver coinage and CORE
spending decrease of greenbacks. The
council adopted resolution that the
proposition could not be recommended
to congress. and appointed committee
to prepare report to that effect. This
committee reported at an adjourned
meeting of the executive council to-day
to the following effect:
we believe the retirement Of legal tender
now in the present condition of the publle
mind to be q practical impossibility. We
believe the Increased coinage of silcer dollars

for the purpose,.of retiring the noninterest-
bearing debt. while the interest bearing debt
remains would not meet the approval OF the
public. We believe il wonld be desirable. II
legal tender notes are retired. and additional
paper money is then considered advisable,
thargold certificates should be issued upon
the 500 600 900 gold com now held as
find for the redemption OF legal tender
notes, rather than TO disburse the coin Tor

VICTORIA. B. c., Oct. ia big real
estate sensation is developing In this
city. Many years ago, back in the early
fifties, when the gold excitement was
attracting thousands to this province,
among others came Douglas McTavish
to seek his fortune. McTaviSh settled
down in Victoria and bought real estate
in what is now the heart of the city. He
married an Indian woman. by whom he
had one child, a girl. McTavish and
his wife both died few years later, land
the little girl was left to the care Of
strangers. She grew up to womanhood,
married and has been living here ever
since, totally unconscious that her father
had left anything of value behind him.
A short time ago man who had been
friend of McTavish in the old gold
days, and who knew McTaviSh had
owned considerable property. began to
look the matter up. McTavish's will

show that the young woman is the
rightful owner of this large property.
1t is said that the Hudson Bay company,
apparently losing sight of the fact that
the property had been sold to McfaV-
ish. has been selling it again, and now
some of the finest BUSINESS edifces In
the city are erected upon property to
which the owners have no title. A long
and bitter lawsuit will certainly be
the result.

ence in a Kansas town. If KATE werea

one, and consequently she would not
