why MOI Try Irrigation


This section of the South is sometimes afflic tcd
WIN drought IN the spring. The drought is
30 severe that the truck farmers suffer serious
sosses. In this county this season The veue,abe
growers will lose many thousands of dollars on
account of the dry weather. They had a splcu.
aid prospect for very profitable season unli)
ahe rains ceased, and unless there is rain within
day or two they will be fortunate If they make
expenses.
There are some parts of the section afflicted by
"ahe drought in which irrigation could be adopted
with profit. Along the steams, in some loeali.
1es, water might be pumped on the land, and in
<sners water might be obtained from artesian
wells
In TINS county, tor instance, help might be OBJ.
aalaed from the streams, and also from artesisn
wells. The cost would, of course, be sonsidera-
Die, out it il certain that the returas would be
large. In Tact, there is good reason for thinking
chat they would greatly exceed the expenses.
1nere Is very cheap system Of irrigation in
operation on she Mississippi river The adjacent
rice lands and truck farms are supplied with wa
ger In dry seasons by pumping from the river.
The cost OF obtaining it is not very great.
Would it not be advisable for the truck farm
Ndrs or shis county to form an organization with
ahe view OF obtaining information respecting the
cost OF getting water for irrigation They could
get estimates of the cost Of pumping it frsm the
river and getting it from the artesian wells. The
scneme might not prove to be feasible but 1t
would not be waste Of time nor an unnecessary
expense to make inquiries about it. There is q
chance that it might be found to be practica-

Mr.. MN>IAN AND THE INTEKNA
TIO>AL CONGRESS.

The Ynblushing seliishness which
made the representatives. of the Repub-
lean party contine the inspecting tour
Of the International Congress at first
entirely to the North, was very anus
Ingly illustrated few days ago by the
loud cutlery that was raised when Eras-
tus Wyman siyly slipped in at Niagara
and carried the delegates oil to the
Canadian side, where he not only set
before them handsome banquet. but
also addressed them at length in a
speech so full of free trade doctrines
that Blaine and his associates were
aehast when they read it. The GOODNESS
aud audacity of the act astounded
them, and they have not yet fully re-
covered from their panic.
Outsiders can only chuckle over their
discontinue and applaud the humor
aud neatness of Mr.. Wyman's stroke.
The Congress promises to be the most
notorious and pretentlous humbug OF
the age. 1t is idle to expect that tho
South and Central American Republics
will be led TO abandon their immense
commerce with free trade England TO
introduce their products into our ports,
where a duty OF forty or fifty per cent.
on their value Will be imposed before
they are admitted.

OUR STREETS.

At the meeting OF the Board Of Al
dermen on Tuesday. in the debate on
the appropriation of So 500 for the use
Of the School Board, Mr.. Belvin called
attention to the condition of our streets.
and the small amount, appropriated for
them compared with the appropriations
Tor the public schools. Like Dir. BEL
vim, We do not grudge i'll the least all
necessary pecuuiary assistance to the
schools. which have always been con
Quoted 50 well that they reflect honor
on the city: but we will heartily sup
port any proposition to improve our
thoroughfares.
In only too many instances they are
wholly lacking in the right sort Of pave
ment or in nag.stones for crossings: or
the pavement and crossings they have
are in such a condition as to make Us
prefer to have none at all.
The very worst evil, however. con.
nected with the streets is the dust,
which exceeds in quantity any that We
have observed elsewhere. There II
constantly seen a whole street made in
visible one block away by the dir
stirred up by passing wind. the cloud
once raised remaining in the atmos
phere.
Apart from the extreme discredit tC
Richmond of this, the dust is Injurious
not only to the appearance, but to the
value of our houses. being calculated tC
depreciatc property most materially.
The great amount Of miscellaneous
dirt in our streets. independently Of The
dust. reflects still more on our munich
pal carefulness. There is some excuse
for the dust. as it comes principally
from laying down new pavement, bu
there is none for the dirt. The latter
remains when it should be prompt,
and systematically carted away. as Il
done in every city that has reached the
size and attained to the wealth of Rich
mond.
Our Street Committee ought TO see L
it that our thoroughfares shall not con
tinue III state that is not only insight
~ to the eye. but also injurious to tn
health Of our people.

THE SUPREME COURT VACANCY

One of the many reasons for regret
ing the failure of Cleveland to BE- re-
elected to the Presidency is the fact that
The numerous vacancies on the Supreme
Court bench that will occur during the
course ofsthe next four wears will all be
b.led by Republicans.
We had hoped that the complexion OF
this venerable court would be entirely
changed by appointment Of Democrats
before another presidential term ex-
pred, but this hopeis no longer tensble.
Ne can only entertain the wish that
whatever vacancies are filed by the
Harrison administration Will beg kiled
by the selection of competent lawyers
and upright men.
The whole course Of the present &C
cupant Of the White House aud his ad-
visers does not encourage the eXpecta
ton that he will look to the South fol
appoiDtees. Il must be- admitted that
the field Of choice is a very narrow one
for III the first place. the Southern Re
publicau lawyers are comparatively
few in number. and in the second, the
few that there are, are not very cons
picuous for their attainments.
IL il was left TO Us to make a nomi
nation from among the lawyers who
have always acted with the Republican
party in this State, We should select with
out hesitation the presiding judge OF oul
Court of Appeals. Judge l.. /. Lewis

IT was characteristic OF the extreme
personal vanity Of Mahone that ne should
have his portrait struck of on handker-
chiefs and thus distributed among the
negroes, who very probably mistook 1t
for the picture of some strange animal.
We believe it is one OF the characters
Of Dickens, " no proposes that cargo
of handkerchiefs stamped with Scrip
tural texts shall be sent out for the re-
lisious conversion of the West Indian
slaves. Probably Mahone thought that
MS own picture would be equally sue
cessful as q means of political con
versions.
To most OF the voters of this State Il
would be interesting merely as the
portrait Of phenomenaily ugly an
