The chances for admitting Territo- ries in a block in the present Congress, says the Globe-Democrat, are not favorable.

The investigation of the Civil Ser. vice Commission, now going on II
 Washington, is attracting considera- ble attention because of the severe ac. cusations of partlsanism made against the commissioners, which, however, as yet, remain improved. The Butter. worth charge is that the party in power manages to capture the ap. pointments about as completely as under the spollS system, but by a roundabout method. The examlna- tion of witnesses up to this time has been directed to the acts of the Com missloners with view of showing whether they are worthy of thelr posi- tions. From this time forward the system itself will be on trial. Ex- Postmaster General Hatton's latest charge is that Civil Service Commis- sioners Roosevelt and Thompson were privy RWm. Dudlev Foplke's recent attack 1rlpon the Administrator for violating the civil service law. It IS asserted that Mr. Foulke received a visit from the two Commissioners a day or two before he sent his three column letter to the New York Times and ether papers. MT. Foulke is a rich Indiana mugwump whose fad is civil service reform. He has been fol- lowing the investigation of the com misslon very closely. He now comes out in denunciation of Wanamaker, Clarkson, Porter and others, and al- leges a conspiracy in the Administra- tion to cripple the civil service system MT. Foulke is very sweeping in his accusations.

A late Washingten.D. C., dispatch makes brief mention of decision rem dered by the Secretary of the Interior denying the request of the Mesilla Valley Canal Company, of New Mex leo, to continue the construction ot their irrigating canal across the Fort Selden military reservation. The dis patch further states that the question was ralsed whether under the 1rriga- tion Act of October ?, 1888, canals and ditches can lawfully be constructed across pubic lands, and while the grounds of the Secretary's decision are not clearly stated, the inference is that the refusal to grant the company license to proceed is based upon that clause of the Irrigation Act reserving all sites for reservoirs, dltches and canals, and lands susceptible of irriga- tion, from entry, sale or occupation.
 If th,s is the meaning eff the dis patch, then the Secretary's lnterpreta- tion of the clause referred to is in exact accord with the view expressed by the BELT, immediately after the passage of the Irrigation Act, when we pointed out that the law, by reason of the withdrawal of lands from entry and occupation, would prove hindrance rather than an ad- vantage to the arid West. If under the law of October ?, 1888, the con- struction of irrigation works on or across public lands is prohibited, then the serlous aspect of the case is at once apparent, as the further reclama- ton of the desert to the purposes of agriculture is suspended until the ob jectionable clause of the act referred to is repealed. And this is proper sub ject of investigation for our delegate in Congress.

The Rev. Sheldon Jackson, D. D.. we'll but unfavorably known in Arizo. na and New Mexico, now United States General Agent of Education n Alaska, says that Miss Willard, one of the mission teachers, reports to the investigating committee, by letter asking protection for Indian girls who are sold by their parents to white men for immoral purposes. She al- leges:
 "The custom of the natives is to buy their wives. Since the white miner has come this customs has been ex- tended to sales or leases to white men, and girls are such source of income that their parents will not allow them to go to the mission scoolS.
 "The courts sustain the right of parents to control their children, and girls who beg to be let into school can not be taken without their parents consent.
 "The letter specifics an instance of girl who was being saved for a white man who had offered S250 for her when she was better grown. Native husbands and wives have adopted young children and raised them for the position of second husband or wife when the first dies.
 "In this way boys of 15 or r16 become husbands of crippled old women, and young girls become the wives and ire quently the plural wives of old men. The letter declares that scores of peo- pie are murdered as witches under Alaskan superstition.
 Jackson attests the truth of Miss Willard's statement, but who will vouch for Jackson? Certainly no one who remember his islanders of wives and adult daughters of Arizona and New Mexico. He made no exception, but punched them and gave all black eve.

While the breaking of the Walnut Grove dam was a most deplorable dis aster, it is safe to conclude that it will not deter capital from investing Tn similar enterprises in Arizona. It will, however, induce those who en- gage in the construction of such works, for the safety of their invest ment as well as for the protection of human life, to exercise the closest scrutiny of the work, both in design and construction.
 The late disaster, too, emphasizes the absolute necessity of government inspection of dams for the retention of large bodies of water, and the lm- position of heavy penalty for culpa- ble neglect or incompetency of those in charge of such works.
