ONE of our exchanges remarks that Mr..
Newlands will have to find some other means
of riding into the Senatorial seat than on the
irrigation scheme, because we have all the
water we will need in the State this year.
Just such ideas as these have kept Nevada
back for years. When we have water every
body thinks it will last for lifetime and no
means are provided for its storage. 1t is only
in dry season that it is good to talk about
water storage. This is all wrong. We have
had lessons enough, it would seem, to teach
us that in the time of Abundance it is well to
prepare for famine. About Mr.. Newlands
political aspirations we are not posted, but
the water storage question should be as in
teresting now as ever. Do not lose sight OF
the fact because we have an abundance for
the present,

COMPULSORY VOTING.

The Boston Herald thinks sit Is re-
markable that the first place where it is
seriously proposed TO undertake the ex-
pertinent of compulsory voting should be
under other than republican form of
government"
The place where this experiment is to
be tried is the province of Quebec. a
measure being discussed in its legislative
council providing that every person
whose name is upon the voting list must
vote at the poll where his name is regis
tered, at every election for member of
the legislative assembly. Failing to do
so, his name is struck from the list. but
the voter may be reinstated by paying a
fine of S25.
1t is not SO remarkable that such an
experiment should be tried first in a
republican form Of government, for in
the United States, for instance. there are
as many if not more people who consider
suffrage right and privilege, which
like other rights and privileges, they
may exert or not as they feel disposed.
~ AhGtt are VI AlltSt WHO CODSlUSE lllS
right also a duty which every one must
perform. This duty IL, in most instances.
a mere party obligation, and it is doubt
full if there are enough professional poll
ticians in the country to make it consti-
tutional to compel people to take an in
tereSt in every party fight, or else pay
$50 TO vote when they are interested in
some momentous question.
Every man has the right to walk:
walking gives sound bodies; and since
sound minds are good for the country,
walking must b. good for the country;
but because one does not care 10 walk
today, he must pay S25 to the govern
ment 10 walk tomorrow, is more than
the hberty-loving citizen of the United
States would care to stand. He would
probably view compulsory voting in
similar lights.

TIE BRIGHTER SIDE.

| From the Douglass Tribune.
We were talking the other day with
! several parties, some of them farmers,
about the financial condition OF the coun-
| try, and the hard times, when we called
attention to an incident we knew OF sew
erai years ago, where farmer suppoSlng
himself to be hopeleSsly III debt, had
tried to sell his farm. But before he
could find purchaser he raised crop
of corn which he sold as it stood In the
field for five dollars more an acre than
he had asked for land and all. Another
spoke OF corn selling in the field at TWEEN
ty-tive dollars per acre few years ago.
Another said that his surplus corn of
last years crop, which he could have
held, and which he did hold until he snip
posed the right time had come to sell,
would be worth now the neat sum of
8 900. Another pointed out an instance
where a neighbor had saved his surplus
corn of last years crop and can now
realize thirty dollars per acre for
1.-THE worth of the land on which
it grew. Instances were pointed
out where farmers had been and are
still making money-not mere living,
but accommodating riches, and large indie
pendence. Some are buying other farms
and seeking safe investments for the sur
plus money their crops or their stock
have brought them. Some are building
new houses and new barns, and paying
the cash as they go. Others, who have
been in debt, are paying out and thus
becoming independent. There are end
less evidences of prosperity all over this
country. and not a single case of suffer
ing or restitution.
Then, what is the use of these walls of
distress-this financial hypocondrai. A
country like this is sure 10 be prosperous.
Temporary reverses may be expected,
but general growth and prosperity are
founded on the surety of rich land,
temperate climate and kind Provi-
dence.
Suppose some men have made bad in
veStments on a falling market, don't
such things occur everywhere: Suppose
some of us have signed away in mort
cages interest to property we hold that
threatens to take it all. others before us
sold out their entire interests in Just such
property for much less than we got for
our mortgages. We are not less fortu-
nate than they. Suppose the govern
ment were to step in and pay off our
debts, would we go in debt as readily as
we mortgaged the homestead that gov
eminent freely gave us here in the west,
and again be calling for government re-
lief?
There are plenty of bright opportuni-
ties and encouraging prospects for all
around us-the thing to do is to use good
sense, look on the hopeful side
Of affairs, pay our debts as fast as we
can, and keep out of debt in the future.
Thus we shall turn reverses into success
and enjoy the prosperity that others are
here in our midst.

REMEMBER Topeka.

| From the Wellington Press.
1t is to be hoped that the legislature
soon to assemble will remember that
/ Topeka, the capitol city of the state, has
claims upon them to be seriously consid-
cred. The political claims of that city
have been generally neglected, and we
are glad to see that self sacrificing citi-
zens are coming to the front, to claim
their rights. The modesty of the town
is well known in times past, and it has
often been matter of surprise that her
citizens were so backward in seeking
office. There is from there at least two
candidates for United States senator and
four for state printeT-twO Republicans
and two Peoples party men. Ii Is fact
that to-day and for many years Topeka
has furnished from twelve To fifteen of
the best paid officers III the state. But
that is not enough. They do not want
any change that will leave any of them
out, but they are asking for more.
1t is probably not & matter of
very great importance where an officer
lives, but there is a question of fair
play that everybody likes to see. 1t
is not fair at a table to give part white
meat and the balance the drum sticks.
Topeka has had the CONGRESSMAN from
the district in which she Is located for
fourteen years, except part of a term,
and will have him for the next two
ears. The only foreign minister is from
Topeka. She has the United States dis
trict judge, United States marshal and
United States district clerk. She has the
chief justice, one associate justice, and
tine clerk of the supreme court. She has
one of the court commissioners, men,
Der of the board of pardons and the sec
rotary of state. She has had the state
printer for ten yeass. In addition to
these best offices the legislature Is called
upon annually to spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars on the state institu-
tons located there There are at least
2oO people employed there in subordinate
positions on the state pay roll. Well. !
come to sum it all up, Topeka is not
much of a hog, and we trust the Peoples
party will do something for them the
coming winter.

The best way out Of the Indian troubles
Is 20 turn the Indians over TO the war de-
partment. A soldier hasn't great amount
OF tender mercy, but he has enough for
all practical purposes in dealing with red
skins. What the red men need is less sen
timent and more clubbing -Emporia Re

Here is a blending of justice and
mercy that is simply irresistible. Goad
the red devils into resistance and then
kill them for resisting. If the govern
ment would live up TO its obligations to
the Indians in good faith and shoot the
white devils who for wicked and selfish
motives exasperate them into acts of
outlawry there would be no Indian
troubles for the government to find a
way out Of. But estimating the future
by the past. it is hoping for too much 10
expect such policy 10 be adopted. The
Indian troubles will cease when the In
nian ceases TO exist. not before.

HOSTING ROCK SAIL.

The car held 30 200 pounds and was

minutes. This was at the rate Of a ton
in a little less than three minutes. The
hosting cars hold about $50 pounds,
thus carrying a ton at a trip and a third.
Two cages were used, one going down
while the other came up. The average
time consumed for each Of the nineteen
cars hoisted was two and One-fourth
