THE delegates elect to the Constitu.
tional Convention, from one of the coun-
ties of the Territory, have written for in
formation as to who will guarantee their
expenses. Learning that the expectation
is that Congress, in accordance with pre-
cedent, may next winter make appropri-
alton covering the per diem and expenses
of the Convention, but that no one feels
that it is his duty to make any guarantee
in the premises, the newspaper OF the
county referred to remarks that in view
of that state of facts, that county will
probably be unrepresented.
One would infer from this that
the people in that section do not
possess the Wood River love for
glory. Patriotism is at high-tide
over here, and the wrangle seems
to be as to who may enjoy the bless
ing of GLOWING himself in" Many
of them are better equipped to blow
themselves out.
MRS. R. B. HAYES, wife of ex-
President Hayes, was stricken very
suddenly with paralysis, while sit.

until Tuesday, 26th inst, when she
died. Her husband was absent
when she was first stricken down,
but reached her the next day. Mrs
Hayes never regained conscious

SECRET SOCIETIES.
All good American citizens will
agree with that clause of the yer
dict of the Cronin coroner's jury
which says, shat in our judgement
all secret societies whose objects
are such as the evidence shows the

with and are injurious to American
institutions" There is no room in
this country for Anarchists or Sc

THE PRESIDENTS SENSIBLE ACTION
There was considerable comment
a few days ago in Washington Over
the action of the President in re
fusing to wear the badge of the Pa
triotic Sons of America. The ordel
is a native American organization
which held its annual convention
in that city last week. A larg'
number of the delegates, headed b.
Mr.. G. w. Spofford, the well-knowl
hotel proprietor of Washington
went up to the White House to b
presented to the President. Ate
the intseauctions had been made

won't you take one of our badges?
The President dryly answered mo.

TALK ABOUT THE BROOKLYN MAYORALTH.
REPUBLICANS HAVE A CONFERENCE ABOUT
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MEN CHIEFLY
MENTIONED.


An important conference OF leading Republicans was
held last evening in Everett Hall, Brooklyn. Tho
object of the meeting was to exchange opinions il
regard to the availability Of the different men TALKED
of as candidates for Mayor and to devise method
OF raising funds for defrayng the expenses OF the
campaign. Among those present were Franklin Wood
ruff, Israel F. Fischer Joshua NJ. Van Colt, William
c. Wallace Frank sperry, Charles A. Moore, +. i.
Kennedy Ernest Nathan, Henry W. Knight George
b. Forester James s. Case, Lester W. Beasey Albert

A. Barrow Charles IL. Cotton, j. 5. Slaight W. H.
Ray, d. W. Northrup, Hugo Hirsh, Henry Bristow
Horace f. Dresser, and DIR. James Watt
Mr. Fischer, as chairman Of the Campaign Committee,
presided and James s. Case secretary. Speeches
were made by score more of those present Among
the candidates discussed were Colonel A. D. Baird,
William H. Hazard, William II. Williams, Timothy
L. Woodruff, exMayOr f. a. Schroeder Henry W.
knight, John II. Schumann, George B. Forester and
John b. Green. In reply 70 a question, AsSemblyman
Frank Sporty said that his brothern-law, Colonel
Baird was unwilling 10 be a candidate. The names OF
Colonel Baird exMayOr Schroeder and ". ii. VIII ans,
of the Young Republican Club, received with the
most applause The general sentiment of the meeting,
as could be gathered al the late hour OF adjournment
was that either of these three could be nominal cd
by reclamation If willing 10 accept but that each was
disincllned to allow his name 10 be considered. il
is still thought that Colonel Baird would not decline
the unanimous call Of his party. Several thousand
dollars raised.

IRRIGATION IN SOUTH AFRICA.
DECIDEDLY ENCOURAGING RESULTS OBTAINED
AID FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

AID FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
Washington, oct. 11.-George F. Hollis, United
States Consul at Cape Town. Africa has fQrwS.ied to
the Department of State report upon irrigation in
South Africa From this report It appears that lrr-
CATION in a primitive way has been practsed and is
the rule in the Orange FREQ Nsle and a large part
of Cape Colony. In 1877 the Government passed an
act 10 promote irrigation, the act providing for local
water boards authorized 10 condemn property neces-
sary for reservoirs and for loans from Government
funds TO farm owners desiring 10 construct private
reservoirs These loans arc made at per cent, and
run twenty years. Wherever irrigation has been
adopted under the act the results have been most
satlsfactOry-one farmer stating to the Consul that
his increased rentals would pay his loan In four
years An amendment TO the Irrigation Act Of
1870 provided for loanng colonial funds to munich
palities desiring carry works of irrigation; and
within two years applications were made from sixty
districts desiring to avail themselves Of the terms
offered by the Government
Consul Hollis says: Wherever irrigation has been
rropcrlv tried in the colony # has met with unquali-
fed success assuring large crops 10 the husbandman
and guaranteeing the stOck-ralScr against loss by
drolth. From the lamcntable reports now coming
in from the up country of the great loss OF shecp by
reason of the almost total lack of rainfall this winter,
! should judge great impetus Will be- given 70 this
question. The land being almost entirely denuded
Of and bush. the rain runs rapidly over the sur
face seeking It's natural outlet to the while the
evaporation Is very great. Streams which are alive
the whole year are few. Boring for water has not
been attempted on large scale. but the experiments
