Copies of Stewards speech delivered in
the United States Senate, February 9,
are received. Senator Stewart realizes
the necessity of irrigation throughout the
entire Inland Basin, and submitted a
resolution providing that the millions OF
dollars due by the Railroad Companies
should be paid by expenditures in build
ing additional side lines, and in the con-
struction of hydraulic works for the pur-
pose of irrigation as Congress may au-
thorize, with such limitations on freights
and fares as would insure cheap trans.

out it would make those parts of the
country so improved, second to no other
for almost every purpose. The great
need of the whole inter.mountain coun.
try is water, and while it is possible for
every valley in it to be more or less sup
piled through the principle suggested, it
is so improbable as never to be hoped
for. 1t is only by government aid that
any great and lasting good can be at.
tanned in this direction so vast an outlay
of money would it require, too large en-.

definitely to the wealth of the corpora
tions concerned also, already said to be
too great, but the country would be pop.
ulated and developed through the work,
and therefore able to protect itself.
What has been done through irrigation
in other countries was enlarged upon by
Senator Stewart, particularly the work
of the English Government in India and
Egypt, and the enormous wealth result
ing. The plan proposed was deemed
worthy of consideration and the select
committee on Pacific Railroads was in.

any recess of Congress, the Pacific rail.

II we could dodge the bonded county
debt handing over us. as nicely as the
city of Watertown, Wisconsin, seems to
have done, it would be gratifying to
number Of us though not calculated to
improve our credit if future loans were
required. The Supreme Court at Wash.
ington rendered a decision ON the Sth
inst, on the following: The city of
Watertown, Wisconsin, was indebted on
bonds. Its charter provides that all
suits against the city must be by service
on its Mayor. Certain bond.holders
brought suit but were unable to secure SER
vice on the Mayor because he resigned as
soon as elected. Finally the city entered
a voluntary appearance and set up the
statute Of limitations. The plaintiff de-
INJURED, claiming they had tried to
begin suit in season but was debarred by
conspiracy to defraud. The Wisconsin
Court held the suits were not properly
begun within the statutory time and
gave judgment in favor of the city. Now
the Supreme Court affirms this judgment
on the ground that it is matter purely
within the State jurisdiction and thu
only remedy is an appeal to the STATE
Legislature.

Illiteracy in South Carolina.
New York sun.

New York sun.
Some astonishing facts about the
lack of education among the people of
South Carolina have been brought out
during the debate in the legislature
on the constitutional amendment pro-
viding that no man unable to read
shall be allowed to vote. 1t has been
shown that not far from Is 900 white
men and three times as many colored
men would be disfranchised by the
adoption of the amendment. The vote
of South Carolina is usually smaller
than that of any other state in pro-
portion to its population, and the
enforcement of the measure now under
consideration by the legislature would
reduce ii to about half of its magni-
tude in recent elections. The least
instructed elements of the population
of the Palmetto state are the colored
people along the seaboard and the
whites in the mountainous northern
region; but the school facilities are
inadequate in all quarters, and the
expenditures for education are not
one tenth what they ought to be.
