ST. LOUIS IN WICHITA.
The Report of the Committee Upon Its Return
From the Globe Democrat.

From the Globe-D Democrat.
THE WICHITA COMMITTEE.
The committee appointed by the Mer-
chants exchange to visit Wichita made
its report to President Cox yesterday. AZ
ter complinenting the people of Wichita
on their hospitality, enterprise and conf
dence in the future of the city, the COM
mittee says:
''The partial failure of the crops for the
past two years throughout the state of
Kansas has been felt in Wichita, as well
as in every other city in the state, and an
other year of failure would have been very
disastrous. But the magnificent crops of
wheat, oats and rye now being harvested,
and the very favorable condition of the
corn crop, now practically beyond danger,
together with abundant returns of fruits
and vegetables, have given the people of
that state unusual courage, and insure
them a prosperous year We found
among the business men Of Wichita
an evident desire for closer COM
mercial and social relations with st.
Louis While our city in the past has
had fair share of their trade and por-
ton OF their products has come to this
market, we were told that other cities
have controlled larger part of their COM
merce. This has not been satisfactory to
the people, and they now turn to st. Louis
as not only the nearest large market but
their natural point for interchange of
business. While we realize that business
is not controlled by sentiment, but by con-
ditions which render trade both safe and
profitable, we believe that the friendly
feeling which now exists should be recip-
rocated, and that our people should unite
with the people of Wichita in an endeavor
to increase tho volume of trade between
the two cities. Your committee believes
that its visit has tended toward this end,
and that visit from a committee from
Wichita in the early fall, by invitation
from our exchange. would still further aid
the movement by bringing together the
business men of the two cities for better
acquaintance, with view to stronger
commercial alliance"

For North Dakota's Deaf Mutes.

A. r. Spears, an educated and talented
deaf mute, who has won distinction as an
educator, arrived Wednesday to work in the
interest of the deaf mutes of North Dakota.
He will ask the legislature to make an ap-
preparation for the care and education of
the boys and girls who are deprived of
speech and hearing. He comes from Min
neapolis with hearty recommendations
from Senator Washburn, Governor Mer-
riam, President Northrap Of the Mime
apolis university; j. B. Gilfllan,
late NJ. G.; j. j. Ankeny. postmaster;
j.: u. NOyes, superintendent of the
Minnesota school for the deaf.
When asked in writing: "DO you expect
an appropriation for the North Dakota
school this session ?" he replied, '.NOt for
buildings-but for current expenses only.
base my argument on the necessity of it.
There are twenty-five or thirty of school
age,part of them are at Sioux Falls now, ,and
II they continue to go there North Dakota
must pay South Dakota for in strUctiOn,
ETC.. and it will be as cheap. or nearly SO,
to start the school at the Lake."
Professor Simpson says: Il shall not
wonder if you should find at least forty
deaf mutes of school age in North
Dakota"
Mr.. Spears is an enthusiast in his work
and should be encouraged.

Mack on Irrigation.
w. B. Back of Boston, who is so largely
interested and so well known in Bismarck,
writes, as follows from Omaha:
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 27, 1889.
Editor TRIBUNE: During the last three
weeks have been through large portion
of Colorado and Wyoming where the irri-
CATION question is agitating the public
mind. These sections suffered very much
from scarcity of water last year on ac-
count Of the light fall of snow they had all
over that section last winter.
This is stimulating them to protect them
selves in future; one of these plans struck
me as being very applicable in the valley
of the Missouri. They are damming up the
streams to retard them so they will not
run off too rapidly. / have thought if such
streams as Burnt creek, Turtle creek and
the like, could be choked or damned up at
some point where the bluffs converge, this
water backed up into these coulees could
comparatively small outlay. These waters
caught in these depressi0ns would become
vast distributors of moisture after a very
hot day in the valley.
AS these coulees are now, they act as
immense leeches to sap every particle of
moisture out of the surrounding soil and
drain it into the Missouri river.
Filling these vast coulees with water
would give the surrounding country a
more pleasing appearance and could be
improved in many ways, and if necessary,
utilized in other ways mechanically If
found sufficient, AS one interested in
your section l simply lay this before you.
II It has any merit in the present ques-
ton would like to hear your opinion on
it at a convenient time. Yours truly,
w. B. MACK,
90 White St., e. Boston.

We have been watching the course of
Senator Worst, and feel safe in saying that
his name is no criterion.
Mr.. WALSH having introduced bill
providing thatcounties may insure crops
against hail, new era dawns upon the
honest farmer. The time when the far
mers will be appointing days of prayer for
hail may not be far distant.
HAVING referred the question OF irriga-
ton to the committee on temperance. the
senate should now refer the prohibition
bill to the committee on irrigation. There
are several hundred men in North Dakota
who would be highly pleased with this
change of courtesy.
THE Dakota legislators instructed the
United States to give Senator Pierce the
long term. Senator Casey got it. Had
they known the full double-back acting
force of their influence they would in ali
probability have requested that the short
term be given Pierce.
IT is generally conceded that the lepis-
lative hoodoo is what defeated Pierce for
the long term. There is not an old-time
gambler in Washington who Is not willing
to bet his last dollar that if the legislature
mad declared in favor of Senator Casey for
the long term he would now be trotting
around the national capital with the bob.
tailed term, while Senator Pierce would
rest securely in the safety of the long.
Mr.. STEVENS stated yesterday that he
did not understand the meaning of the rule
OF the last legislature, which was offered
yesterday, allowing q bill to be called up
at any time out of its regular order. All,
if he had seen the way that this very rule
kept farmers and railroad men, grangers
and mon0p0lists in one grand chaos of
fright and anticipation, he would under
stand its meaning. For Donnybrook
breeder and confusion promoter, this rule
has no equal.
