IT was learned by the committee OF
the New York assembly now investi-
eating electric wires and lighting in
the city of New York that the United
States Electric Light company had put
one hundred and forty miles OF cable
underground and that the system was
entirely satisfactory. 1t is thought
that the committee will recommend the
passage of a law making it misde-
meanor to maintain overhead wires in
the metropolis and other cities OF the
state. The electric companies them
selves admitted that while the original
cost OF underground construction was
greater than on poles, the expense OF
maintenance was less, and in conse-
quence the cost TO the consumer would
be proportionally reduced. The long
controversy over the danger from over
head electric wires is likely soon to be
ended.

at a price per acre several times more
than the cost Of receemiug them.
The objection TO the government per-
forming this work is sufficiently an
swered by the statement that IL is far
too great an undertaking to be success
fully carried through without the assist
ance of the government. 1t is beyond
the reach OF state enterprise.
The plan Of establishing irri-
eating districts and allowing the
communities in such districts to mort
gage their land as security to irrigat-
ing companies, with the condition that
after term of years the irrigation inn
provements would become the property
OF the communities, is an expedient the
practlcabillty of which is somewhat
doubtful. 1t involves contingencies
that might be found serious obstacle
to its success. There is very little
probability that the lands in the pro-
posed districts would be largely taken
up in advance of irrigation. 1t ap-
pears that the sentiment in congress is
not at present favorable to any large
appropriation for this work, and very
likely it will not authorize an expendi-
ture beyond what is necessary to con-
tinue surveys. 1t Is not to be doubted,
however, that the redemption Of our
unwatered empire will ultimately be
undertaken by the government.
Omaha daily bee., 1890-03-07
OUR UNWATERED EMPIRE.

Under this headiu g General Miles
treats in magazine article the import
ant question of reclaiming the vast
arid region of the west, pre-
sentlug figures which show what an
immense empire irrigation would add
to the productive resources of the ma
tion. Estimating. the extent OF terri
tory west OF the one-hundredth
meridian to be one million,
three hundred thousand square
miles, General Miles thinks that fully
one hundred and fifty thousand
square miles of the arid area can be re-
deemed. This is is equal to one-half OF
all the cultivated lands In the United
States, and if properly watered by u
system OF irrigation would undoubtedly
give returns in production nearly or
quite equal to all the land now culti-
waited.
1t would seem that the mere state
ment of such fact would be
all the argument necessary to
convince congress OF the duty
of making liberal appropriations
for redeeming the great unwatered en-
pre-. AS between spending public
money for this purpose and any other
of the extraordinary expenditures that
have heen proposed, there would
appear to be no question as
10 the wisdom of giving prefer
ence to appropriations for carrying for
ward as rapidly as practicable the work
of irrigation. 1t is certainly
of vastly greater Importance to
the country that its capacity
for production shall be in
creased fifty per cent than that it shall
have the greatest navy in the world
and an elaborate system of coast de-
fenses. If with an expenditure of n
hundred million dollars we can add q
hundred million acres of productive
land to the national domain, worth
when reclaimed from thirty to fifty
dollars an acre, capable of sustaining a
population equal to that Of the entire
country at present, and from the pro-
duction Of which there would annually
be made ar enormous addition to
the wealth of the nation, it is clear
that the government could not make
more profitable investment While
other nations are spending hundreds of
millions to secure new colonies in re-
mote quarters of the globe, this govern
ment with its abundant wealth hesi-
tates about eNpending a fraction of its
annual income to make available for set
tlement and production region greater
In area than most of the countries
OF Europe. II there was any risk in the
matter, If there was a reasonable doubt
that the government would receive n
full return for It's outlay from the sale
of the reclaimed lands which are part
of the public domain, there might be an
excuse for hesitation in making the
proposed expenditure, But no such
difficulties exist. The feasibility of lr-
rlgation is fully established and its val
ue has been amply demonstrated, and
Irrigated lands being the most desir-
able, because an adequate sup
PLY of water is always as
sured, the government would find
ready demand for the reclaimed lands

No SECTION of the nation stands in
greater need Of vigorous system Of
government than Oklahoma. The army
of land sharks and claim jumpers who
raided the country year ago recog =
nize no law and perpetrate outrages
against person and property with all
the cunning and cowardice OF the
white caps. The possibility of the ap-
polntment of a colored man for gov
ernor of the territory enraged the
whites and led to dastardly assaults on
honest colored families. These ruff
fianly outrages should be promptly
stopped by the national government and
the brutal assailants made to feel the
rigors of the law.

How spokane Was Named.

One of the richest and best known
men IN the state of Washington is w.
III. Taylor of Spokane Falls, says the
Chicago Tribune. He is Mt the Richie
lieu. During general conversation
last evening he told how the famous
running horse Spokane received its
name.
Noah Armstrong and l." said he,
"made trip to Washington territory
AS it was then-to inspect some min
ing property belonging to Mr.. Arm
strong. We stopped mt Spokane Falls;
from there went to visit the mines. One
of the mines he did not like and he trie
to get me to take il OIL his hands. /
was not anxious and told him the prop
erty was not worth more than 81 900 to
me. TO my surprise he accepted the
offer. While we were signing the pa
pers some mail was handed to him. One
OF the letters from his Montana home
informed him that he was the owner OF
new colt.
"I've been lucky in this town selling
you that mine said Mr.. Armstrong,
and III name the colt Spokane in
honor of this place That is how the
American derby winner received its
name"
Mr.. Taylor would not toll what be-
came Of the mine. He is too modest.
A few weeks ago the papers told OF the
sale of "A gold mine in Washington for
800, 900. This was the mine Mr.. Tay-
lor was almost forced to buy from Spo-
kane's owner for an even 81 900.

ABUNDANT PROMISES.

The last congress was prolific in
promises OF Legislation TO suppress
trusts and combinations. The present
one is even more so. There are now in
the two houses nineteen bills providing
for the destruction OF trusts. In the
house seven bills are before the ways
and means committee, six are in the ju-
dietary committee, and two are in the
committee on manufactures. There Is
one bill before the finance commit
tee in the senate, one in the
judiciary committee, and one
under discussion in the sem
ate. 1t is said that the reason
nothing has been done with any of these
bills, especially in the house, is the fact
that the ways and means committee pro-
pose to attach to the Mckinley tariff
bill before it leaves the committee
section aimed directly at all trusts, and
which is to be in the nature Of a substi-
tute for all the antitrust bills.
1t is the bill OF Senator Sherman, in
troduced In the Fiftieth congress, that
hasreached the stage of discussion. This
contracts, arrangements, combinations,
ETC., between persons or corporations
made with the intention to prevent full
and free competition in the importa-
tion, transportation, or sale OF articles
imported into the United States, or in
the production, manufacture or sale OF
articles OF domestic growth or produc-
tion, or domestic raw materials which
compete with any similar articles sub
ject to duty, or intended for and which
shall be transported from one
state or territory to another for
sale, and also arrangements,
combinations, trusts, ETC., intended to
advance the cost of any such articles to
the consumer. The bill provides that
any person injured by any trust or
combination may sue or recover there
from, in any United States court with
competent jurisdiction, with twice the
amount of the damage sustained and
the cost of the suit. II also provid es a
penalty against any person who enters
into trust or combination. or acts as
its agent or stockholder, in the shape
of fine of not more than ten thou
sand dollars Or imprisonm ment for not
more than five years, or both. This
measure appears sufficiently compre-
hensive.
1t would certainly seem tina the pub
lie might safely expect something from
these abundant promises of ANTITRUST
legislation, although experience with
the last congress does not warrant q
very sanguine hopefulness. The con-
ditions, however, are SO different now
as to encourage the belief that ma
tional law for the suppression of
the Objectionable combinations will
be adopted. In the last con-
gross party considerations doml-
mated everything, and as there
was divided control, neither party
would allow the other to gain any popu-
lar advantage that might result from
proposing and passing ANTITRUST legis-
lation. The republicans having now
the control OF both houses, and the party
being pledged to take action against
the trusts, there is good reason to ex-
pect that an antitrust law will be
passed at the. present session. 1t would
clearly be in the interest of the party to
do So

Crop Prospects in south DAKOTA

YANKToN, S. d., March 6.-TSpecial to
THE BEE. Active steps are being taken by
Governor Mellette and others of our own
people, aided largely by help from abroad, to
secure seed wheat for South Dakota farm
ers in the drought stricken districts, and a
full crop will no doubt be put in. The snow
fall has been frequent and copious of late
and the soil will be IN good condition for the
reception of the seed as soon as the surface
thaws so that seed can be put in the ground,
and the prospects are altogether good for II
large acreage in cultivation and n bountifu
harvest next fall. And one good big crop
will make the people forget all the prvations
of the past fill their cribs and barns with
plenty and advance Dakota land values.

TOO HARD FOR LYNCH.
The New u ork Pug Couldn't Stand
Dougherty's Vicious Jabs.

Dou9herty's Vicious Jab'.
NEW YORK, March 6.-lSpecial Telegram
to THE BEE. IA fashionable crowd gathered
at the Atlantic highlands yesterday to wit
ness fight between Jack Dougherty Of
Philadelphia and Tommy Lynch OF New
York with kid gloves In the first round
there was sharp rally ard iu-fghting, IN
which both men landed some hard blows.
In the succeeding rounds Dougherty showed
himself to be clever ut smashing with either
hand and getting away. He was impartial
in his delivery and gave the New Yorker
jabs IN the ribs and stomach as much as IN
his face. Lynch returned some of the blows
and 1t certainly seemed as though he put
good deal of force in his raps. When the
men went back to their corners after the
sixth round, the spectators came to the con-
clusion that they were well matched pair
and settled down in expectation of a long
battle. Imagine their surprise when Lynch
announced that he couldn't stand the pun
ishmont he was gottiug on the heart and
stomach and gave up. The crowd WAS
greatly disgusted and hissed Lynch.
