The Sentinel: The scarcity of the
dollar is what makes the farmer so
slow to part with it.; it is not .'stingi-
ness which causes him to hold to it
as long as he can; give him a dollar
that he can buy with the products of
less toll and in the majority of in
stances he will part with it as free as
any class of men; give him this chance
and his consuming power of the pro-
auctions of the workers in the city will
be increased; the merchants will sell
more goods, the demand for labor will
increase and the employers of help in
the cities will pay better wages-they
will be forced if they are not so in
clined in order to retain their employees
from going to some other firm who
are rushed to supply the demands of
the agricultural districts. We repeat
it. the farmers, as rule. are not
stingy. the existing conditions have
forced them to confine their expendi-
lures to the bare necessities OF an ez-
istence. Truly has It been said when
the farmers prosper, all other indus
tries do likewise"

sources OF Nevada will become known
as more than barren waste or a min
ing country.
10 the central and northern portion
OF tho State there are immense bodies
OF land which could be made produc-
tive could water be secured for irriga-
ton. This subject Grrigation) is one
OF the great drawbacks, not only to
Nevada, but to the entire territory
west OF the Rocky Mountains, aud
when it has been solved Nevada will
be made to blossom as the rose, for
there are no more fertile lands any
where than within her borders.
Thousands of acres of land have been
irrigated in the past by private enter
prise, which has proved il the millions
OF gallons of water running waste in
the Spring of the year could be stored
up till nature intended it's use, great
benefit would result to the entire
West.
The vast mining wealth of the
State has prevented many from en-
gaging in agricultural pursuits, as
the temptation to delve in the earth
for sudden fortune has been too
great, until within the past few years,
when the characterization of oliver
has made mining more Improbable,
when many have gone to the plow
and harrow as means of livelihood.
But with the characterization OF silver
came the closing Of many Of the
smaller mines, and as a consequence
farming was Improbable, as there
was no market for the product.
From the last annual report Of the
Surveyor-General we learn that the
area of the State of Nevada is about
1881, 900 acres, of which 100000
acres are agricultural, 80, 100000 graz
ing, and 100000 forest lands. Thus
we find about "a per cent. available
for the farmer and stock grower; but
from the same report We ascertain
that only 141, 1876 acres are under cul-
tiyation, which is entirely due to the
depreciation in the value Of silver and
the lack of proper facilities for irriga-
ton. It is the ultimate desire Of this
service to collect data which will sup
port the opinion that Congress should
come to the relief of the Western
States in the irrigation problem with
we'll developed plans for its solution.

There's good deal in it-that is judg-
ing from appearances.
Chairman Childers was on hand at the
Democratic caucus this forenoon.
Evidently they can't work Senator
Ancheta! He knows thing or two.
Florida county has gone glimmering for

The motion to reconsider the vote on
the capital removal bill Yesterday alter
noon failed to come up. tits just as well !!
Hon. Amado Chaves was unanimously
confirmed as superintendent OF education.
A great compliment and deserved one
this.
Senator Ancheta had been promised
by his colleagues that his desire in the
matter of the creation OF Florida county
should govern and the promise was kept.
Representative George made somewhat
Of an effort to bring up the capitol re-
moval question again to-day. This in
spite of the fact that he had telegram
from the people Of Socorro instructing him
to stand by Santa Fe.
The bill introduced by Speaker Burns
and put through the house Yesterday,
taxing Pullman car companies, ought to
90 through the council flying. Taxes will
be needed and why should rich and
money making corporations be exempt
from supporting the territorial govern
ment?
The care Of the capitol grounds and
buildings should be placed in the hands of
Secretary Thomas. The latter is very
competent, painstaking and careful man
in all respects, and under his supervision
the grounds and buildings would be kept
in frst-class condition; but this is proba-
bly, too much to expect from the Demo-
cratic house Of the present assembly.
The New MEXICAN scribe was in error
yesterday in saying that Mr.. Garcia, of
San Miguel, voted for Santa Fe on the
capital removal scheme. Both the Gar
cias, from Mora as we'll as from San
Miguel, voted against Santa Fe. 1t was
Representative Herrera, of San Miguel,
who scored the lobby and the politicians
and declared there was large sized
Ethiopian at the bottom of this removal
scheme which he had no sympathy with.
'Rah for 'Rera!
The Democratic caucus last night was
not well attended, but nevertheless at the
dictation of the bosses it was resolved to
hold up the finance bill and any other
good legislation the Republican council
wanted till the Democratic appointments
were confirmed, till Florida county was
made, till the public printing went to the
bosses and till the Democratic jury bill
passed the council. Also till some of
elders schemes had better show in
the council; but then these matters and
things may be carried through and may
not. 1t was clearly shown though that
the bosses cared not a continental red
cent for the interests of the people. But
it looks as if the Republican council can
be depended upon to stand firm, that the

To-DAY's SESSION.
Much to the surprise of the members
of the legislative council, Senator Ancheta
was on hand when the council met this
forenoon. The Florida county bill was the
special order. 1t required four or five
of the Grant county residents to keep
Mr.. Ancheta quiet when the subject was
called up.
Mr.. Perea said it was never the inten-
ton OF the council to consent to the divi-
sion of Grant county unless Senator An
cheta was willing, and he moved that the
house bill providing for Florida county be
tabled.
President Chavez called Mr.. Perea to
the chair and taking the floor made a
speech in which he said that number OF
interested persons had undertaken to Gre
ate the impression that he was in
favor of Florida county, but that
he had kept faith with Senator
Ancheta and he wanted it under
stood that he would never conset to di-
vision of Grant county without the con-
sent Of the senator Of the county.
Senator Ancheta stood on his feet
during the speech of President Chavez
and when it came his time to vote he
made a few explanatory remarks and
voted FAYE" on Senator Perea's motion
to table indefinitely the bill creating the
county of Florida. The bill was tabled
by II to l, only Senator Richardson vot-
ing aye. The recess was then taken
