FRANKLIN's FAMOUS TOAST.-Bcn
Franklin was dining with Il small par
ty of distinguished gentlemen. when
one of them said: "Here are the na'
tiona!ities represented; | am French,
ard my friends there is English, and
Mr.. franklin is all American. Let Us
each propose toast.
1t was agreed to, and the English;
mans turn came first. He arose, ano
i'm the tone Of Il Briton bold, said:
"Here goes to Great Britain, the sun
that gives light to all nations OF lhe
earth.H
The FrenchmaH was rather taken
back at this, but he proposed:
"Here's to France, the moon. whose
magnetic rays move the tides OF ths
world"
Our Ben then arose with his air o
quaint-modesty and said:
Here's to George Washington, tht
Joshua of America, who commanded
the sun and moon To stand still--ant
they stood still"

The Boss Potlach.

One of the largest and most valu-
able Indian potlaches will take place
at Fort Rupert, near the northern
end of this island about Christmas
day. The potlach will be given by
Captain Jim, an aged Indian, who is
known from one end OF the province
to the other. The articles to be given
will comprise $500 blankets, 800 pairs
silver bracelets, Qndian makel 40
large canoes and muck-a-muck gal
ore, in all valued at $4,000. For
this $4,000 Captain Jim, according
to native custom, will receive within
two years $4,000. The potlach will
embrace nineteen tribes residing be-
tween Qualicum and Fort Rupert.
This will make the hundredth pot
ZACH Captain Jim has given, and he
intends to eclipse all former efforts in
that line, and judging from the value
and quantity of the articles to be
donated" it will be the biggest thing
on record. The hero of the potlach
is about 65 years of age, of fine ply
sique, and speaks English with re-
marksble huency. A law has been
passed by the Dominion Parliament
putting a stop to these "potlaches,' -
but the old Indians do not under
stand this infringement on what they
justly consider their hereditary rights.

The Color Line Drawn

LYl.cHnURG, Va, May 2l.--The state
council of the Protestant Episcopal
church, which is in session here, deter
mined two important questions that have
been agitating the members of that faith
for very long time. One was whether
or not the word white" as pertaining to
representation by delegates in the council
should find place in their constitution
the other as TO the advisability of chang
ing the name Of the church, this latter
question being mooted in various states.
Upon the first question there was a great
deal of discussion. The convention con-
tained many members who were in favor
OF obliterating the color line in the Chris
tian church, and so expressed themselves.
The vote WAS taken and resulted 124 in
favor OF having the word "white" in the
constitution and G3 against. This effect
ually disposed of vexed question, and
debars the negro from q place in the
church. In the proposed change of name
it was unanimously voted that this coun
Gil was opposed to any change whatso-

A Mormon Church Broken Up.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 20.-A flourish
ing Mormon church in Clay county, has
been broken up by indignant citizens of
the neighborhood, and the preacher in
charge of it has been warned to leave the
county without delay. The Mormon
elders have been proselyting that county
five years and made many converts.
They established the church about year
ago and have been holding regular serv-
ices since. Most OF the elders have left,
the others will follow. They carry most
of their converts with them.

The ColOred Man.

New YORK, May 21.-In the general
assembly of the Presbyterian church yes
terday the committee on Christian unity
reported that negotiations were in prog
ress for q conference with the Congrega-
tionalists. The report OF work among the
colored race IN the south was submitted.
It was shown that OF 100000 children Of
school age only 100000 attend school. 1t
was stated that illiteracy among the blacks
was increasing, and with it the increase
in the illiterate vote, which was being I'M
scrupulously used by politicians. The
suggestion that the negro be sent to Africa
is impracticable, as there are 100000 OF
them in the United States, and as they
are born at rate of 600 daily it would be
impossible to build ships enough.

MAJOR powELL's PLANS.

The project is based upon the idea
which was first given to the public some
ten years ago by Major Powell, the pres
ent director of the geological survey, in
his report upon the arid lands west OF the
Tooth meridian. That report is still the
classic upon this subject.
Major Powell has been continuing his
Investigation since that time and has in
duced congress to adopt his theory,
namely, that it is possible to reclaim very
large proportion OF this arid region and to
make it available for agricultural purposes.
But it is not to be understood that it is
the purpose OF the geological survey, or
the senate commission, or OF the govern
ment, to do the actual work OF irrigation
itself and to improve this land in order
that private persons may have the benefit
of the expenditures which the govern
ment would make in that direction.
Nothing OF the sort is contemplated.
The theory of the entire work is that
the actual irrigation of the land is the
proper province either OF private capital
or OF the states or territories, and that the
only function that the government can
properly perform in this connection is to
determine whether or not the theories
which have been laid down as to the pos
sibilities of recaiming this land are prac-
ticable.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1889-05-21
THE GOVERNMENT AN AGENT.

The government proposes not to irri-
gate land for people, but to determine
whether or not private capital can be
profitably employed in the experiments
necessary to do this. In other words,
the government steps in as the agent OF
Mal!w al! hhether it is possible to do What NtheyG;
Major Powell, and those who have be-
come interested with him, believe is prac-
ticable.
The western states and territories, with
in whose jurisdiction the arid belt is To-
Gated, are convinced that this work is
practicable. The best proof of this is that
the state OF Nevada has already approprl-
ated large sum OF money to be used in
connection with the inquiry which the
government is about to make, and an en-
gineer has been appointed-Col. Bridges,
Of Chicago, gentleman OF large expe-
rience in Nevada-to cooperate with the
geological survey and with the senate
committee on this general inquiry.
Col. Bridges is now in Washington and
has been for some weeks examining the
maps which Major Powell's preliminary
survey has already prepared, and general
ly assisting in blocking out the work
which is TO be done this summer Col.
Bridges has already received his instruc.
tions, which place him in charge OF a
considerable part of the inquiry in the
arid belt. He will start in few days foi
the field Of investigation.

WATER FOR THE PLAINS.
preparations to Enter Upon Survey of
the Designated Lands-A Grand
Thing for the West.

WASHINGTON, May 20-One OF the
most important committees appointed by
the senate to make investigation during
/ the summer is the committee on irriga-
| ton. That committee, in connection
with the geological survey, is now prepar-
ing to enter actively upon its work, and it
will start from st. Paul, its headquarters,
in July.
There is no object of greater Importance
to the American people, now that the
lands available for agriculture are being
RAPIDLY taken up, than to solve the prob
lem whether or not the immense arid
tract in the western territories can be
made available for the purpose OF cutiSa-
ton.
The scientists of the geological survey
are very efficient aid in this inquiry,
and the information which they furnish
will illustrate in general way the pur-
poses at which the committee aims. The
purpose of this inquiry is no less than to
ascertain whether it will be practical to
reclaim an area equal to 100000 square
miles, or about 100, 900 900 acres, which is
half Of the entire cultivated land in the
United States at present and worth in
money many millions Of dollars.
Eminent scientists are Of the opinion
that this can be done, and it is the chief
purpose oi this committee to ascertain
and report whether or not such scheme
is practicable.
