WNsINGroN, ID. C., March l2.--Sena-
tor Squire to day presented a memorial
from the board of trade Of Vancouver,
Wash, setting forth strong reasons for
the passage of the bill authorizing the
construction of bridges across the Co.
lumbia river and its tributaries by the
Oregon Railway Il Extension Company.
II represents that bridge over the Co
lumbia river at Vancouver will DO of
great importance 10 Oregon and Wash

advantageous location on the Columbia,

In the Interests ofIrrigation.
Senator Casey this morning reported
an important amendment to tho general
irrigation bill, which comes from the
committee ON that subject. IL is In the
interest Of the Dakotas, a portion of
Montana and the states lying south Of

investigation is to be OF an engineering
or other nature, and is to be conducted
under the direction of the secretary of
agriculture. The line Of investigation
is to be carried on west of the 9th
meridian and east of the foothills Of
the Rocky mountains, and $4,000 is
asked for to meet the expense OF the

The Blair Educational Biii.
There is some speculation as to how
the orthwestern senators will vote up
on the Blair educational bill. Senators
Pierce and Casey, of North Dakota, it is
said, will probably vote against 1t In the
present form Senators Squire and Al
len, of Washington, will vote for the
bill. Senator Allen says that, inasmuch
as the government has granted to his
state two sections in every township and
a percentage OF the net proceeds oil the
sale Of public lands for school purposes,
he thinks that 1t would be the proper
thing for him to help the people of the
country who have no lands for this pur-

HAVE, our readers noticed the fact

Of irrigating bitches has had seasonable

in all reason, be well to try the expert
ment Of creating ponds and lakes all
over the country wherever possible? If
there was general movement in
that direction we have not the least
doubt of beneficial results. With a
concert Of action throughout the west
ern or prairie states, congress could be
made to aid the farmers in thus Gre
ating rainfall, and it certainly is worth
while trying for that result. The
alliance would do well to study this
matter and see If there is not some
thing in it worth working for. What
would be the expense of building small
dams wherever there is a draw of suf-
ficient size to make pond? Why
would not an abundance of ponds or

quick growing trees, as a benefit even

Blaine vs. Mckinley.

The hide-bound republican news
papers are straining every rule of rhet-
ORIG and magnifyirg every atom of evil
dence in order to show that Blaine
never really condemned the Mckinley
bill, as reported in last weeks papers.
But for some reason Mr.. Blaine him.
self keeps silent upon the subject. GA
gentleman who was present when the
incident is said to have occurred" is
the only witness brought forward to
disprove the truth of the story as orig
inally told. Mr.. Blaine is silent. Mr.,
Allison is silent. The one voice from
the committee room comes family
through the muf1ing folds of anony.
mousness.
To us it seem not unlikely that Mr..
Blaine may have expressed himself as
being strongly opposed to the measure
which bears McKinley's name and the
stamp of that radical protectionist's
extravagances. Mr.. Blaine stands fol
protection it is true, but it is for pro.
lection applied according to the dictates
of reason, and in the manner which
will bring the greatest good 10 the
greatest number. His project of Pan.
American reciprocity shows that he
does not fear to apply the free trade
principle when it is obvious that the
United States will be the gamer by
that system. His appeal to congress
to refuse free admission to West Indian
sugars until such time as the sugar
producing countries grant free mar.
kets to American products is in itself
a criticism of Mr.. McKinley's bill.
The Ne,us believes Mr.. Blaine to be
iE open opposition to the pending
tariff measure. That belief is based
in part, upon his reported speeches and
letters, but chiefly upon the fact that
in our opinion Mr.. Blaine better than
any other man understands the temper
of the republican party from one ocean
to the other. And that the rank and
file of that party looks with doubt,
distrust and dislike upon Mr.. McKin-
ley's extravagant measure there is no
reason to doubt.-Kansas City Star.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1890-06-26

MANY republican papers are coming
out plainly against the Mckinley bill.
They know the temper of the people,
and also know that there is a time
when the caucus managers of national
legislation, under the present admin
stration, must call a halt. Here is
what that strong republican paper, the
Wichita Eagle, says:
1.-The Mckinley tariff bill which
recently passed the house, can't pass
the senate. 1t is sin and snare: a
fraud and delusion; an oppressive
measure to fleece the poor people. 1t
puts up the duties on all the articles of
general consumption, not heretofore
highly protected. 1t puts up the duty
on cheap cotton cloth, cheap carpets,
cheap knives, cheap guns, cheap glass,
cheap pictures, binding Irvine, etc.
The Mckinley tariff bill was gotten up
by the close corporations which run
this country, and if the republican con-
gress passes it or enacts it into a law,
the party will go out of power never to
return again."

A Bad Egg.

The band boys last week secured a
number Of their silver instruments,
which they loaned to the Galyean
family, by sending an attorney down
into the southern part Of the state
after them. The man Galyean has
proven himself dead beat of the first
water, and treated those who kindly
assisted him while here in a very
shabby manner. From all we can
learn he has been doing the same thing
all over the state. He is indeed a bad
