BLAINE OF MAINE.

An esteemed Democratic contem-
porary wants to know where is
Blaine of Maine. There is an APP
prehension in Democratic circles
that Mr.. Blaine does not propose to
fulfill Democratic predictions that
he would wreck Mr., Harrison's adj
ministration if he could not control
it. The picture which an Eastern
Democratic contemporary once
amused its readers with, of a log
cabin 80 full of Blaine that Harri-
son was fairly crowded out, has not
yet been realized. In fact Mr.. Blaine
has attended to the duties of his Of
flee and let Mr.. Harrison attend to
the duties of his office. Still Mr..
Blaine has made his policy felt. In
less the reports of the conditions Of
the Samoan treaty are wide of the
mark the American position has
been maintained the greatest mill
tary power of Europe. In the Beh-
ring Sea the American revenue cut
ter is taking English poachers in
as we'll as offending vessels of other
nationalities. Under Mr.. Bayard it
was not thought entirely safe to cap
ture sealers flying the British flag.
Under Blaine the British are treat
ed as Americans or other vi0lators
of the law are treated. On the
whole Blaine of Maine seems to be
doing pretty we'll up to date. When
the Congress of American Nations
meets in Washington he will be
heard from again. The conference
is Mr.. Blaine's idea, and we may
presume that statesman so fertile
in ideas as Mr.. Blaine has not nour-
ished the plan during eight years
for nothing. 1t must be admitted
that American diplomacy is more
assertive than during the last three
or four administrations. There has
been no backdown recorded since
Blaine has been Secretary of State.
If, as our Democratic cotemporary
affirms, his administration of the
State Department has been amiable,
it has not been weak. The Behring
Sea controversy has not yet been
settled, but up to date the vocifera-
tions of our Canadian friends have
no preceptible influence upon the
present Secretary of State.

Inns have found it necessary to shut
up shop. These wash-houses are
nothing more nor less than opeum
joints, wherein many young girl
has been ruined and many boy
formed the opium habit.

THERE is no doubt that more
good would result from storing the
water in the Carson river than in
building dams on any other stream
in the State. 1t has been ascer-
tanned, however, the 100000 APP
propriated by the State is not
enough by half to build the kind
of a reservoir that is required at
the headwaters of the Carson. 1t
is also a fact that no more money
can be got from the State until the
next session of the Legislature, so
it seems utterly impossible to have
anything done on the Carson river
for some time. But there are other
streams where a portion of this ap-
preparation could be used to good
advantage, and where work should
be going on right now. The money
appropriated should have been used
this Summer, on the Truckee, Hum
boldt or Walker rivers, SO that the
good of it would be felt next season.
900, 900 will be necessary to make
the necessary Improvements on the
Carson, and the only way We see
to get this money is for the State
to appropriate it. Our borrowing
power is limited, and overdone now,
and the only thing to do is to in
crease the borrowing power of the
State to million or more by an
amendment to the Constitution.
And while about it the cheapest
aud best way to revise the Consti'
tuition is to call q Constitutional
Convention.
