Senator Stewards Irrigation Bill.

A Washington dispatch gives the following synopsis of Senator Ste warts bill for water storage, as introduced last week.
 The bill provides that the United States will-confer certain privileges upon organizations, to be known as irrigating districts, in the several states and territories where public lands are situated and where irrigation is re- quired, under certain prescribed con ditions.
 It shall then be the duty of the Sec retary to cause the survey of said dis trict, and he shall include in the boundaries thereof all arabic lands which can be irrigated by one general system Of irrigation, or which can be regulated by the same general rules or laws.
 He shall also include in such dis trict such pasture and timber lands, reservoir sites, lines of ditches and places for other hydraulic works as may properly belong to such district. and shall fix the time witbin which irrigating works, to be used in com mon, for the reclamation of arable lands shall be comnleted.
 He shall then divide the district into the following area: First, reser- vDir siles, li ch lines and other places for hydraulic works; second, lands susceptible of irrigation; third, pas ture lands; fourth, timber lands.
 The arable lands shall be subdivided into forty, eighty and I20-acre tracts, and shall be subject to entry under the homestead laws only
 These arabic lands shall be subject to the same laws as private lands of similar description and value. All charges, assessments and taxes levied by the irrigation organization upon the arable lands of the district for the purpose of constructing works of com mon benefit, together with legal in terest, shall be a lien upon all the arahle lands within the district to be irrigated by such works. All the lands ! in the district shall be wi hdrawn from entry or sale, except mineral entries and other exceptions provided for in the act. Whenever irrigation works shall have been constructed in sub slaniial and durable manner, accord tug to plans approved by the Secretary of the Interior, and there shall be an actual resident owner on each legal subdivision of the arabic land in such district, the Secretary of the Interior shall issue a certificate that the irriga' ton of said district is complete and the public lands therein contained are in bona fde possession and ownership of citizens of the United States.
 The timber and pasture lands ir such district shall thereupon become the property of the district, and the district organization shall have power and control over the same. Patents shall be issued for homestead entries
 in such districts.

HARMONY, says the Citizen, is ma lures first law. Harmony in the Re publican party means succe ss. The principles involved are too great and grand to be jeopardized by selfish in terests and personal bickcrings. The time Is near at hand when personal differences should be forgotten for the good of the country. In few more months conventions will be called and the different parties marshaling their forces for one of the most interesting political fights ever witnessed in the Territory, and the Republicans should not be found unprepared. Politically the Territory is Republican, and if it Is not SO demonstrated this coming fall the Republicans will be alone at fault. Political shysters should be shelved and Republican, sound in the principles of his party and in har- mony wi h the administration, should be sent to Washington to represent our growing Territory. Na ional as we'll as local we can be vic orious if the Republicans be but true to them selves. A grand Republican winning this coming fall means better times for Arizona and will hasten the day when Arizona can don the garb ol statehood

A Good One on Mark.

A good story is told of Marcus Aure- lius Smith, Delegate from Arizona. He had taken friend into the gallery 1 and was pointing out the distinguished men upon tlIe floor below. All Illinois member was speaking upon bill Ie- ported from the Committee on Milit- ary Affairs.
 "Who is that addressing the House?" MT. Smiths friend inquired.
 That is -, of IllinOi-," Dele gate Smith replied. "He makes me sick. He can talk longer and say less than any other man in the House. He has talked away all the influence he ever possessed in Congress. My feet l achew
 The delegate suddenly became aware that lady in an adjoining seat had I turned and was gazing suddenly upon him. He recognized her in an instant She was the wife of the representative who was addressing the House. The 1 Delegate knew her, but she did not know tfi.,-- Farming to his companion he explained the situation in whisper and said:
 "I want you to get me out of this scrape. When I rise to go, call me MT. Kilgore"
 His comrade assented. A moment afterward Marcus shook hands and excused himself.
 "Good-bye, MT. Kilgore," his friend replied, "I am much obliged to you for your kindness and I appreciate your courtesy.
 The lady bit her lips and looked daggers at the supposed Texan as he passed through the door. On the nex day she met the Sergeant-at-Arm. whom she knew very well.
 "Mr. Ieedom," she said, If you evel have occasion 10 arrest Kilgore,I hope you will keep him in limbo till h' starves."
 She recOunted the scene in the gal lery, to the evident astonishment 0 Leedom. Her husband and Kilgor' were warm friends For months h' never passed the compliments of thu day with Buck Kilgore, whose polite ness is proverbial. The story, how ever, was too good 10 keep. Ma"cu told it first to one member and thel to another. Finally it reached tn ears of the lady's husband. Tn "entente cordiale" between Kilgor and himself was resumel Marcu also was taken into the combination after offering handsome apology Washington Cor. Los Angeles Express

THE pursuit, killing of two and capture of the balance of the ApacheS who killed freighter Herbert, after a chase of 300 miles over a rough cOun- try, demonstrate again that in General Miles the right man is in command of the Department of Arizona. This eX- ploit of the troops is in pleasing con trast to the practice that prevailed some years ago, when the troops pur- sued Inc fleeing Indians in so leisurely a manner that they had ample time to murder settlers, torture them and then quietly walk down into the fast nesses of the Sierra Madre and remain there until their -il1le- -cscaI--4l-,-'v7rz fOrgiVen and they were begged to re- turn to the reservation, which invita- tion they always graciouSly accepted. This successful pursuit will probably impress on the Indians the new idea that the troops, under the present commander, instead of being used to protect them when they indulge in any of their old lime fun, will be used 70 hunt them down and kill them. When once t,.is idea penetrates the Apache brain there will not be any more outbreaks or murders by them. This new departure in the handling ol the troops is highly appreciated in Arizona and is productive of q feeling of security that has not been known for years.

Just before o'clock, Edward Haskins,
a cattle and horse ranchman of Sydney,

northeast portion of town. When Eigh-

pace.
Suddenly gong rC--unded behind the

the street under headway not 10 be

thought Of an instant to Cauley that he
must cut around the corner to the right

engine now appeared, with its horses on
a dead run.
Destruction seemed inevitable. Cau-

roof of his vehicle with all his weight
and strength upon the lines, but the roll

his horses, and its impetus was assured
to carry it into the middle OF the cross
