Irrigation.

The subject of the conservation and
equal distribution of the water supply
of arid regions has had much attention
from congress, but has not as yet been
put upon permanent and satisfactory
basis. The urgency of the subject does
not grow out OF any large present de-
mand for the use of the lands for agri-
culture, but out Of the danger that the
water supply and the sites for the neces.
sary catch basins may fall into the
hands of individual or private
corporations and used to render
subservient large areas dependent of
such supply. The owner of the water
is the owner Of the lands, however the
titles may run. All the proposed water
sources and all the necessary reservoirs
should be held by the government for
the equal use ut fair rates of the home
stead settlers who will eventually take
up these lands. The United States
should not in my opinion, undertake
the construction of dams and canals, but
should limit all work to such surveys
and observations as will determine the
water supply, both surface and sub
terraneau, the areas capable of irriga-
tion and the use of the storage capacity
of reservoirs. This done, the use OF the
water and OF the reservoir sites might be
granted to the respective states or terri
tories, or to individuals or associations,
upon the condition that the necessary
works should be constructed
and the water furnished at fair
rates without discrimination, the
rates to be subjected to provisions
by the legislatures or by boards of water
commissioners duly constituted. The
essential thing to be secured is the com

Various Matter.
The bill for the relief of the supreme
court has, after many years OF discus
sion, reached position where hnal
action is easily attain able, and 1t is hoped
that any difference of opinion may be so
yielded as to save the essential features
Of this very important measure. In
this connection ! earnestly renew my
recommendation that the salaries of
the judges of the United States courts
be so readjusted that none of them shall
receive less than IS, 600 per annum.
The subject Of adjusted Spanish and
Mexican land grants and the urgent
necessity for providing some commls-
sion or tribunal for the test of questions
of title growing out OF them, were
brought by me to the attention of con-
gress at the last session. Bills have
been reported from the proper COM
missions of both houses on the subject,
and | very earnestly hope that this con-
gress will put an end to the delay which
has attended the settlement OF disputes
as to the title OF settlers and claimants
under these grants. These disputes re-
tard prosperity aud disturb the peace of
large and important communities. The
governor Of New Mexico, in his last re-
port to the secretary of the interior, sug-
gests some notifications of the provision
OF the pending bill relating to small
holdings of farm lands. | commend to

Tor the administration of the affairs of
insoivent debtors. The inconve niences
resulting from the occasional and teIu-
porary exercise of this power by con-
gress, and from the conflicting state
codes OF insolvency which come into
force intermediately, should be removed
by the enactment of simple, inexpen-
sive and permanent national bankrupt
law.
/ also renew my recommendation in
favor OF legislation afiording just copy
right protection for foreign authors on
footing of reciprocal advantage for ours
abroad.
1t may still be possible for this con-
gress to inaugurate. by suitable legisln-
ton, movement looking to uniformity
and increased safety in the use of
couplers and brakes upon freight trains
engaged in interstate commerce. The
chief difficulty in the way Is to secure
an agreement as TO the best appliances,
simplicity. effectiveness and cost being
considered. This difficulty will only
yield to legislation which should be
based on full inquiry and impartial
tests. The purpose should be to secure
the cooperation of all well disposed
managers and owners, but the fearful
fact that every years delay involves the
sacrifice OF 1000 lives and the manning
of O,OCO young men, should plead both
with congress and managers against any
needless delay.

Fruit as Food.

So convinced am / of the extreme val
ne of fruit in the animal economy, says
an eminent physician, that | hope TO I'VE
to see the time when an orchard shall be
an important part of every farm, and
small fruits and berries shall be cultiya-
ted wherever there can be found space
for them. am more than convinced
that far too large proportion OF meat is
eaten in this country. The man who
should bring about a change IN this re-
spect would be one of the greatest re-
formers of the day. There would be less
poverty, less sickness, less sorrow and
sin.
Now, | win tell you what / claim for
fruit as food, that is, for fruit as com
plement for ones daily diet. First, that
il is exceedingly palatable; secondly
that it causes, owing to this very palat-
bleness. an increased flow OF saliva;
thirdly. that it thus assists us in digest
inc other food. both bread and meat
fo1rthly. that fruit is itself easily as
simulated by the system; filthy, that it
keeps the system free and in good work
ING condition; sixthly, that by its acids,
salts. and essential oils the blood Is pu-
rified and disease germs destroyed; and
seventhly. that by its saccharine matter
the BODY is nourished and the animal
heat kept up.
It would seem like a paradox to say
that fruit both warns and cools the Dooy,
but such is the case. In summer its acids
temper and equalize the heat, in winter
its sugars warm. Sugar and acid, in fact,
are so equally balanced in this food,
formed In the great laboratory of nature,
that neither preponderates unduly or 10
the detriment OF the other.
