THE QUESTION AT ISSUE,

The question then is whether the agri-
cultural industries along the Platte and its
tributaries in Colorado should be de-
stroyed in order that new industries in Ne
braska may be created.
1tis well ascortained fact; It can be
said in this connection, that if the waters
OF the South Platte now used in Colorado
were used in Nebraska, the area brought
under cultivation In the latter state would
be very much smaller than the area now
under cultivation in Colorado by the use
OF the same waters. But Notwithstanding
that this is the actual condition OF affairs,
appeals have been made to the depart
ment for protection from the water rob-
bers in Colorado, under the expectation
that the land officials could prevent or
overcome the existing state OF things.
The only answer the land officials have
made, or could make, to these appeals
has been that "the title conveyed by the
government to the public lands carries
with it the right to the enjoyment of the
water privileges attaching under the COM
mon and statute law to the proprietorship
of the land. ."-Denyer Republican.

WATER RIGHTS.
Kansas and Nebraska Delegates in Com
gress Kicking Against Stor-
ago Reservoirs.

| WASHINGTON, Nov. G.-Whrn the ir,i
CATION subject comes before the next con
gress an element to be introduced will be
the effect that storage reservoirs and irii.
CATION systems in Colorado and Wyo-
ming will have on industrial pursuits in
the lower lands OF Kansas and Nebraska.
The matter has been repeatedly brought
to the attention of the land office and
other bureaus OF the interior department
during the past months. Many people in
the last named states seem to have an
idea that great damage is to be done to
their interests by the development of the
plans under which the government is
working, not only as to agriculture, but for
manufacturing purposes. How any manu-
featuring interests are to suffer, at least
the department says so, is not apparent.
The two streams which are the princi-
pal sources of complaint, the Arkansas
and the Platte, are described as shallow,
thin sheets OF mud tumbling down
highly inclined pane," impossible OF
navigation and carrying great amounts OF
sediment. This lastCondition gives them
availability as power; for ii hydraulic works
were constructed along their upper courses
1t would be at an enormous expense, it is
said, and ii the streams We're damned
and ponds created they would speedily
be filled by the enormous inflow OF sand.
Another thing, the rain which falls in
Kansas and Nebraska furnishes sulllc-
lent volume of water for all possible pros
pective use as mechanical. powers. This
is the opinion OF government engineers
WHO have thoroughly examined the sub.
ject, and, of course, disposes oft the manu-
featuring question.
As a result, if these experts are to be
relied upon, nothing remains but the agri-
cultural interests, and the department does
not see much force in the objections raised |
by those engaged in these pursuits. There |
are several questions involved in this lat
ter controversy, one OF the first being the
established TACT that irrigation in Colorado
Is already so developed that practically all |
The water of the South Platte, which

THE ELECTIONS.

As will be seen by the returns printed
in another column, Republicans have not
much to comfort them in the results of
Tuesdays elections. Nor is there great
cause for lameutation, either New York
and New Jersey are Democratic always,
when that party is not DIVIDED against
itself. In Ohio Foraker forced his friends
to put him up for third term, when the
State had had enough of him; besides,
he was under the suspicion of having
proved false to Sherman last year at
Chicago. Iowa's vote does not mean that
that commonwealth has gone over to the
enemy; it shows simply that the people
did not like the candidate and that local
questions took the lead over party ques-
tions. Massachusetts is, like Harrison,
I" all right" and so is Pennsylvania.

Gov. Knapp of Alaska has made his
annual report, from which it appears
that the white population of his domin-
ions is about $500 persons. The condi-
ton of the natives is improving, but it
might be better. He recommends vari-
Gus changes in the laws which are requir-
ed in order that the development of the
country may go on.
A great deal is said about the success
of the new Australian ballot law, which
was tried in Massachusetts Tuesday for
the first time. One might easily imagine,
from the way it is spoken of, that it was
expected to kill of all the candidates or
blow nine out of ten of the voters
through the roofs of the polling-places.
1t seems, somehow, to be regarded as
miraculous that it did none of these
things and that voters were able to cast
their votes as well as they did under the
old law.

Since about the first of September, or
soon after the colonization scheme was
first promulgated, Vermont farms have
been at a discount; unless this talk is
stopped, and at once, it will take years
to re-establish the fame of your farms.
Ask any real estate agent in Vermont
who makes a speciality of Vermont farms,
what has been the effect of the desert

has driven all the business that was be-

We are glad to see there is one Vermont
paper that has the sense to see what the
effect of this talk must be- Real Estate

But what Vermont needs as much as
anything, if not more, is the develop
ment of manufacturing to brace up her
farming interests. There should be Il
larger market within the State. Ireland
was robbed of its vitality by the removal
of its manufactures to England, where
by it was left as IA purely agricultural
state. That community attains the high

ments of strength in the most eminent
degree, and these come from agriculture,
manufactures, mining and commerce

WHERE II LEADS.


The New York Sun, commenting the
other day upon the suggestion of an eX-
change, that the consular service should
be placed under the civil service rules,
said:
The only trouble with this proposition
is that it does not go far enough. The prin-
ciple being once admitted, it should be
applied more extensively, more radically,
and more earnestly.
Let the appointment of members of the
State Legislature, county clerks. sheriffs,
treasurers, Judges, governors, and every
State. county and town officer, also be
placed under the control of civil service
commissioners.
Then let the appointment of members
of Congress, federal judges. and other
court officers of whatever degree, post
masters. custom house officers and COM
mssioners and officials of every sort be
left to the same high authority.
After these changes have been fully
carried out, the people will have no need
to take any further trouble with politics,
and only one reform will remain to be
completed in order to render this con-
summate and perfect. This reform will
consist in reducing the number of civil
his term should be fixed for life with sue
cession to his eldest child, and his salary
should be determined by himself alone.
This would produce an ideal and high
ly moral style of government, well suited
to intelligent and practical Americans
and it cannot be eXcelled either in China
or Russia.
There is much food for thought in the
la tlx
put though it is. The real cause of this
continual crying for 8 reform 8 is distrusl
of the people, whom the reformers regard
as incapable of attending to their own
business and as needing guardians, like
imbeciles and lunatics. The logical re-
suits of the reformers' teachings are
shown up by the sun. Should their doc
trines come into vogue, we should soor
have no government "of the people, by
the people and for the people; but :
government of and by commissioners fol
a people who, by the establishment OF
commissions, had confessed their inabil
ity to govern themselves.
No doubt the reformers are sincere
but they are trying to achieve the impos-
sible. They endeavor, in a democracy
to take from the masses their preroga
tives under that form of government, and
to establish a system which has no place
here. A greater faith in the good sense
of the country as whole would take
from these men something of their enthu
siasn and turn their efforts to other chan
nels.
Evils unquestionably exist, but they
arise largely from the fact that the coun
try has outgrown the government. Bus
mess arrangements suited to country
store will not do in big city house; MOI
will a government adapted to thirteer
millions of people meet the demands Of
sixty millions.
