The first place foreigner coming to America
reaches is New York, and the impression he re-
ceiyes there to degree colors his opinions Of
other American cities. And what strikes him
first is the filthy condition of the streets of
New York. For years they have been the sub
ject Of adverse comment, not to say objurga-
ton. to outsIders and to residents not only
that but a source of sanitary danger. Mayor
Grant has undertaken to play Hercules to these
Augean stables and has begun by dismissing the
commissioner, who had informed him that the
streets in his opinion were clean, and appoint
ing a man who knows dirt when he sees it. So
far so good. Now if Mayor Grant will rise su-
perior to his surroundings and take away all
politics from the street cleaning department
he will be on the road to permanent success.
To mix politics and street cleaning ends in
making both politics and the streets dirty.

One Of the large questions before Congress

One Of the large questions before Congress
Is the irrigation of the government arid lands
of the west. In the vast central plain, includ-
ing even parts of California. Oregon and Wash
ington, a body Of land about two-ffths Of the
whole United States, there is much fertile soil
now unavailable but capable, il there were a
well-distributed water supply, of the production
of extensive crops, varying in kind from the
northern cereals TO the subtropical plants OF
the south. Individual enterprise has been
busy with great projects and at least four nota-
BILE schemes are already executed are in
course Of execution, two OF them in California.
The people of the west think, however, that
the federal government can do the work more
effectually and they have applied to have an
examination made by the photographic survey.
Congress has heard the application and is in
vestigating the matter both by a survey and
by o Congressional commission. The prime
reason for government aid seems to be
that canals from rivers are not sufficient to
carry the water everywhere it is wanted. The
desideratum, too great for individual effort to
supply, is a storage basin having these advan-
tages: u valley through which a river Of some
volume runs, q narrow gorge at the valleys
mouth which may be damned at comparatively
small cost, and the location of the reservoir
above the lands TO be irrigated so as to effect
the purpose easily and at reasonable expense.
1t is urged on one side that government can do
this work without expecting an immediate re-
EQUIPMENT, whereas the individual cannot or
viii not, and that it can better be done by the
government, whose lands will be enormously
enhanced in value by the improvement. On
the other hand objections are raised that the
scheme would be the means of creating colossal
jobs for favorites. What has been done is GER
tainly within the competency of the national
government Investigation will determine
whether the irrigation of the far west is easi-
BILE and advisable thing for the government to
undertake.

The governor Of New York is opposed to any
sort of ballot reform which will disfranchise
man who cannot read and write and who Is too
sensitive to admit the fact and receive assist
ance from others in casting his vote. Is New
York to be the empire stIte of ignorance?
What are our public schools for? How many
men who are too lazy, or too careless, or too
stupid to acquire the simplest rudiments of
education, are troubled with the sensitiveness
upon the subject which will disfranchise them?

1t will be an interesting time in the Senate
when the credentials Of the two republican and
tine two democratic Senators-elect from Mon
tana try to lie on the Vice PRESIDENTS desk in
the same spot at the same time so that one set
shall not be covered up by the other. The re-
markable spectacle has been witnessed in that
state, her blushing honors still fresh and thick
upon her, Of two legislatures vieing with each
other in the business of Senator-making.

wives would.
The section passed with all three
amendments.

it's third reading. The bill enables
husband to have his wife imprl-
soned at hard labor a year, in case
she deserts him second time. This
is a re-enactment of the old law.
Noble Widemann fought the law
when he was a young man, he
says, and we are glad to believe
him. Yesterday, however, after
saying, not more forcibly than
truly, that the bill was step
backward and downward, he de-
clined to vote against it, because

OAHU RAILWAY BILL.

The House yesterday completed
the passage of the Oahu Railway
bill to engrossment. Tuesday has
been fixed for its third reading. 1t
was stated in theHouse that the com
pany propose to treat the subsidy
as guarantee fund for the pay
ment of interest on the bonds, and
that it will be placed in the hands
of trustees for that purpose. II
this is true it will facilitate materi-
ally the negotiation of the bonds,
and will operate indirectly in the
interest of the Government.
