A NUMBER Of capitalists. including
Senators Stanford and Jones, c. P, Hunt
ihgton and Irving NJ. Scott. are eontem-
plating the establishment Of great can
non foundry on the Pacific eoast-prob-
ably at or near San Francisco-where
artillery for coast defenses can be made
as we'll as in Philadelphia. The need Of
this is urged because to properly arm the
coast would require a number Of 1000
ton guns, and the bridges over which
such ordnance would have TO be trans
ported from the east could not bear the
strain OF so great a weight upon so small
a surface. II is calculated that
the establishment would cost about
100000. With the best of iron ore
in abundance within easy reach. there is
no reason why California should not OBJ
tain a portion Of the 100000 appro-
priated by congress for coast defenses.

WHAT IRRIGATION HAS DONE.


The Portland 0regonian Is quoting
from travellers description Of Australia
to prove to the people OF the west that
irrigation only is needed TO make the
arid lands Of America blossom as the
rose" II Is not necessary. however. to
go so far as Australia for proof OF the
fact that water will make what now ap-
pears like arid lands produce immense
crops. Marvels have already been ac-
complished in California, Colorado, New
Mexico, Utah and other Of the terrific
ries. A notable instance is that Of the
richest oraDge-belt in Southern Cali
fornia, Riverside, where land was not
supposed to have any value at all twenty
years ago, and where now unimproyed
land cannot be bought for less than $3.50
an acre. il for that, and where the frsit
crop Of 1885 sold for 81, 100000. each sub
sequent year showing an increase. The
artesian wells in the San Joaquin valley
have already reclaimed hundreds of
thousands Of acres Of land for grain
growing and grape-raising, and the
possibilities have scarcely been faith
Omed. In the Montezuma valley, Col
orado. one enterprise which cost 100000
hasfeclaimed over 100000 acres Of rich
agricultural lands. Another enterprise
which involved an expenditure Of $780,
600 has resulted in the reclamation of
10000 acres in Weld county, while
100000 acres will be served by two canals
in the San Luis valley. In Montana the
most extensive irrigation enterprise
thus far undertaken is the Sun River
canal, which has accomplished msrvelS
already, while the Gallatin ditch will
double the productiyeness OF that al
ready one Of the richest valleys in Mon
tana. Other canals have been projected
and all of them promise large returns for
the investors, who are doing as much tC
develop the resources Of this future great
state as did those who built the railroads
across the continent. That Legislature
which does most TO systematiZe and en-
courage irrigation will live longest in
the affections OF the people. Australia
has been greatly benefited by irrigation
so has Russia, and the ancients Of Egypt
and OF Italy have left evidences that they
fully appreciated the benefits that could
be obtained by the intelligent diversion
Of water courses into the valleys.

John bright and the Clergyman.

St. James Gazette: The following Incl
dent is related on the authority OF w. l..
Bright, NJ p: s'Mr. Bright went into the
agricultural district one day, and he had
20 walk from the station long way into
the village. On the way clergyman
who was driving in dog-cart came up to
him, and the two men passed the time OF
day. The clergyman offered TO drive Mr..
Bright into the village, and Mr.. Bright ae-
cepted the offer. The clergyman was q
tory. and he had been reading speech Mr..
Bright had made the previous night; and
turning to Mr.. Bright be said: Have you
seen the papers to-day, sir Yes, said
Mr. Bright What's in them why,
that rascal John Brighs has been
making another speech And what WAS
il about p asked Mr. Bright why, so
and-so md so-snd-so,' and he went on
TO relate the incidents OF the speech.
Then they discussed the topic, and Mr..
Bright said: We'll. it lie just possible that
Mr.. Bright may have been right, and that
he was only expressing his honest convic-
tons There may be something In it.
sOh, no, there can't be- said the irate cler-
gyman. If ! had him here I'd feel Just

THERE is some talk in Washington
about the propriety Of curtailment Of

son for this abridgement OF authority
that dealers have been known to ap-
proach gentlemen who we're supposed to
have good chance or being appointed
TO the office with proposition TO give
them commission of % per cent. upon
all supplies ordered from them. Good
reasons certainly exist for the letting OF

Col. CLARK Z. CARR. Of Galesburg, ILL.,.

his claims upon the president by virtue
Of the services he had rendered the party,
not to mention IL lest il should impair
his standing with the president, is now
spoken Of In connection with the mis-
sion to Denmark. As Col. Carr speaks
ChOetaw better than he does Danish, and
has spent twenty out Of the last twenty
five years in the Galesburg postOfice, his
fitness for the post can be readily i'm
agined. Col. Carr has acquired the habit
Of falling outside the breastworks" at
political conventions, after which he has
mounted the stump and talked through
out the campaign in a very loud tone OF
voice. He is five feet and four inches in
height and weighs 23s pounds, and wears
mustaehe that would make a corn doc

BISHOP POTTER is being roughly criti-
cised by the eastern press for his utter
ances about "Jeffersonian simplicity"
and JacksOnian yulgarity," at the con-
stitutiOnal centennial in New York, a
fortnight ago. He is being reminded
that the simplicity Of the early years Of
the nation was not so very simple after
all; that the first president was 8 mil
liOnaire, and his immediate successors
far from being poor men, while the
purity OF politics in the first quarter of
century under the constitution might
be as fairly questioned as that OF to-day.
Judged by what representative men Of
one party said about the leaders on the
other side. there is not much choice, and
there is every reason TO suppose that men
then were very like men now. The fact
appears to be that the bishop was in
dulging in the clerical habit Of exag-
geratiOn when he gave utterance TO the

lief that IL they can obtain a prepOn-

they will not hesitate to use it for party
advantage. A democrat who neglects TO
