 In reply to a communication ad- dressed by the Phenix chamber of commerce, Senator Wm. W. Stewart writes from Washington that ''the committee on irrigation, etc., will leave St. Paul on the 1st of August next and will visit the northern Territories first We expect to reach Arizona sometime, in September; will notify you in ad- vance of the time. We want to see all we can on our visit and learn as much as possible of the country and what can be done to aid irrigation. I am much pleased with your statement of the amount of land which might be irrigated if the water was stored and used at the proper time. The govern ment will make survey of the reser- voir sites and the line of ditches neces- sary to bring all the land which can be irrigated thereby within the flow of the ditches. What other aid, if any, will be granted by the government 1t is impossible now to say. The sub ject, however, is attracting great at tention, and shall labor to get every thing done possible to utilize our arid lands and make homes for the people. y

The Time to Flow.

Southern Planter divides this work into three divisions-fall, winter and spring blowing. Stiff lands should be well broken in the fall, in order that they may have the full advantage Of the Eulverl- ing effects of the winters frosts.
 Moderately stiff land may be well and proftahly plowed in winter ct such periods a5 the condition of the weather will permit, and the freezing which will follow will break down all clods and give a good pulverization.
 Land which may be classed as light, sandy loam it is always best to blow in tue spring, at the time of planting or sowing, so that the work of following, preparation and putting in the crop may all go on together, but when these opera tions are going on care must be taken that the land is in healthy and sound condition-in other words, not too we or too dry, as either would be injurious to the crop. Sand will hold its weight in water, so that the temporary absorb ing power of the soil depends on the proportion of sand 1t contains; but the excess of water is rapidly given of as soon as the supply ceases, and the farmer will have but a short time to wait before such land comes in order if too wet, and 1t rarely gets too dry to prevent proper blowing and preparation. These are but general rules, which each farmer mus, applA Atp himself; and, with knowledge of th9s sharacter of his land, he will have no difficulty, except in his neglect to ap ply them with sufficient care.

THE United States grand jury at Port Townsend, Washington Territory has Teearned twenty-five indictments agriust especial deputy collector William Harmed; eleven against ex- treasury agent Herbert l.. Beecher, and twelve against collector Quincy A. Brooks for frauds upon the govern ment. The proofs are ample that they collected large sums for which they Jailed to account and mutilated the records in order to destroy positive evidence against them. Herbert L. Beecher is son of the late Rev. Henry - Ward Beevher and whether or not he escapes merited punishment through the lsches of the law a certain measure of disgrace wi always be associated with his name. His career is strongly suggestive of the prevailing greed for money and the corrupt sentiment of society that regards man more for his worldly wealth than for his manly virtues. All our oral instructions teach us beautiful system of morals that theoretically place the good and pure upon a majestic eminence in the love and esteem of our fellow men, but the stern lessons of experience ridicule this lofty sentiment and by force of practical ostracism deny it's truthfulness. The whole lesson taught . by the society of the present age is based upon the single text: "Put money in thy purse" and nothing short of this is tolerated Tho man without money is social outcast whatever his wealth of cardinal vir- Atjms, ,Ebi le the moral leper is deified in
 tioa to his millions of money.
 Ia is wrong, and its forcible
 2gs are responsible for such
 2se now shadowing the Beech
 h sorrow and shame. The
 Ffped young man starts out
 M with thea most upright
 ] impulses, and he readi- to monied vultures and
 y bufieting the rough
 ersity and social ostra-
 - awakens rudely to the fact that heN has wasted his best years in try ing to accomplish the-imp0ssibie, and to make amends he plunges recklesslS < into the scramble for pelf among the mad whirlpools of money-getting, hop ing to pass by the prison doors with out detection. The same spirit ex- isted thousands of years ago, and even the Saviour of the world, whose i'm maculate goodness and piety has nc parallel in human life, WAS scpfied and scourgsd .and &rucified Because he "had not where to lay his head" and because of his worldly poverty he was deemed an impos;er Itisa sad re fection upon mans inhumanity to man." but it is truth not easily con- troverted.

An Example for San Marcos.

There has always been striking
resemblance educationally between
Georgetown and San Marcos. We
need not enlarge on fact SO self
evident. San Marcos has been few
years ahead in voting to take charge
of her public schools, but now George
town has not only overtaken her, but
proposes going clear ahead. Read
the following recent Georgetown dis
patch to the Statesman. Shall we
not wake up and follow her example!
Will our City Council please start the
ball fer San Marcor:
The vote, as officially counted by
the city council on Monday evening,
stood as last reported-ll4 majority
iu favor of the city assuming control
of the public schools. The proposed
new school building was discussed
at length. All agree that the build
ing is an urgent necessity, and should
proceed with as little delay as posi-
BILE. The only material difference Of
opinion is in regard to tho location.
1t has been suggested, outside the
city council, that committee from
tie broadest thinkers among us, be
selected 10 visit several Of the new
school buildings that have recently
been erected over the state This

The following from the San An
tonic Express reminds us to state the
article from the New York Tribune
advocating the Legislation spoken of
to which we referred in our last, was
crowded out. 1t will be found on
our first page:
The San Marcos FREE Press thinks
that some legislation should be enact
ed to do away in the future with the
anomalous conditions which confront
cd Nagle and the courts of California,
but it is unable to regard Terry az
anything save clustering rufiian
who deserved his fate. The press
of Texas has been well nigh unanim-
Gus in condemning the action of the
deputy marshal. The Express, the
FREE PRESS and not moro than two
others have stood apart in his justiti-
cation. Outside of Texas, however,
the balance of opinion has been the
other way. The New Orleans Times
Democrat, the Atlanta Constitution
the st. Louis Republic and other
leading democratic journals of the
south and west have been outspoken
in defense of the officer and in con-
domination of the character and meth
Cd of the dead mn.

Wonderful Growth of PublIc Schools.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IS
Commissioner of Education Dawson,
in his annual report, says that during
the decade from 1876 10 1887 the
growth of the public school system
has outstripped the increase in popu-
lation 1.6 per cent. The gain is
mainly in the south, where the school
system shows an unparalleled devel-
opment. The colored children are
apportioned an equal share of tue
school funds. unless IN the state of
Delaware. aud their schools are kept
open rs long and under as well paid
teschers as those Of the white child

The Luling Signal asks colored
people to reflect that in every con-
flict with the whites they have had
the worst of it; that in these days of
telegraph and railway lines the mass
ing of armed men is an affair of half
hours and that should a general in
surrection break out the nearly total
determination of the blacks would
follow. In its estimate of the results
OF open warfare the Signal is doubt
less correct, but the Express can see
no cause to fear that events will ever
Justify it's calculations. There is no
more fear of a general instruction
now than at any time in the past ten
years, and not half so much as during
the war, when almost to n man the
negroes demonstrated the fidelity
and affection which underlie the
African character. The conduct Of
that people when it was in their
power TO resent n century Of bond
age is a crown Of glory 10 them. and
the man who does not praise and re-
spect them for it is alike destitute Of
gratitude and appreciation Of south
ern conditions.--San Antonio tx

Hon. d. n. Cooper.

IL was rather 0 remarkable co Incl
denco that after our notice OF Mr..
Cooper had been put in type last
week, his appointment was announced
TO the Latin professorship in the
State University. For reasons given
then, we were sincerely sorry at his
prospective translation TO what seem
ed 10 us n less useful sphere, so far
as the public interest was concerned.
We we're, therefore, heartily glad, a
day or two later, to read his decli'
nation OF this appointment, which, it
appears, was only TO an assistant pro-
fessorship. We copy a notice OF his
declipation and the cause Of it from
the Statesman:
"In answer to the formal notiiica-
ton OF DR.. L. A. Wooten, tho Hon.
Oscar III. Cooper, superintendent
Of public instruction, Gays in regard
TO his election as associate professor
OF Latin in tho State University: Il
regret to state that tho appointment
falls no far short OF my expectations
that / am impelled to decline it. IL
was certainly fair presumption that
| should not be expected to resign
my present honorable and better pay
ing position for so subordinate a
place as n mere assistant professor
ship at 1000 salary, even in the
University Of Texls.
The regents claim that the Uniyer-
sity's income does not Justify making
the position n full professorship with
its corresponding salary"
We append some comments OF the
press:
The Waco Day snys that the APP
pointment Of Oscar H. Cooper to the
assistant professorship Of Latin in
the State University was an honor
well deserved, Mr.. Cooper does not
appear to have regarded it in that
light.
The Austin Dispatch says of the
affair that SHOULD some rooster from
abroad--some favored pet-be elect
I'd a member of the university faculty
the regents would scarcely reduce or
strip the position of its honors and
salary; but when Texas man, who
stands head and shoulders above
most OF the high-paid gentlemen that
arc now attached to the institution,
happens to be selected, the powers
that be- quietly freeze him out by
trying to make him mere subordi-
nate" And the Dispatch is pretty
nearly right. Mr.. Cooper's action in
fatty declining the alleged honor will
be approved by all who know the
man and his capabilities.
We repeat, that we for one, hearth
ly congratulate Mr.. Cooper, and es-
pecially the people of Texas, that he
IS to remain in his present vastly
more honorable and useful position.
To relieve him from it, for any col
lege professorship, would in our judg-
ment be good deal like it would
have been to put back Martin Luther
into a cloister, or John Wesley into
the "fat slumbers" Of dignita,y of the
church Of England, recalling them
from their grand Christ-like work of
enlightening and elovating the
minds of "the common people"
