Did They Mean It2

"The Ropu blican party is in favor
Of the use Of both gold and silver as
money, and condemns the policy of
the Democratic administration in it's
efforts to demonetize silver"
This is the silver plank in the Re
publican National platform of 1888,
which Benjamin Harrison indorsed
when he was nominated for President.
In view of his recent pronnnciamento
against silver it is pertinent to in
quire what the object was in incorpo-
Eating the paragraph quoted above in
their platform. The well known fact
that silver was demonetized by a
Republican Congress under a Re-
publican President, and remonetized
by Democratic Congress in spite Of
the veto Of a Republican President,
would seem to indicate that the latter
clause of the so-called silver plank is
an exhibition Of unauthorized gall
seldom equaled in the annals OF any
political party.

Oceans OF Mud.

Owing TO the recent heavy rains
San Francisco ia one vast sea of slush
and mud. Mondays Examiner gives
series of views on different streets,
and says:
at is safe to say that hardly a
village Of thousand Inhabitants per-
mits its streets to get into the condi-
ton Of San Francisco's thoroughfares.
No country road from farm to farm
is as foul or as little cared for. In a
drive through the Potrero, South San
Francisco and the. Mission no less
than dozen wagons were found 30
badly stuck in the mud that they had
to be abandoned Until better weather
hardened the road enough to give
horses sufficient purchase to drag
them from their anchorage. Within
a week three horses have been ruined
in these same localities. They got
their feet in chuck-holes that were
hidden by the mud, and so badly in
jured themselves that they had to be
killed"

Irrigation.

On the subject OF irrigation the
secretary of the Interior reviews at
length the work OF the geological
survey and the reports Of the Sur
veyor-G Generals OF the various Western
States apd Territories, and recon-
lnends that the attention of Congress
DO invited to the necessity OF de-
termining at the present session
whether il will establish permanently
the reservation OF all irrigable arid
regions, and IL 30 what general laws
1t may deem best adapted to regulate
The supply and use of water under
Government control. Action, it Is
recommended, should be taken with
out delay, and the system, il prose-
cuted by the national government
should DO based on comprehensive,
liberal and practical provisions.
