A LETTER was published in the
Chicago Herald lately "by authority
Of General Miles and other officers"
to vindicate history in the matter
of the Stacking OF Jeff Davis, in
which the act is justified on the
ground that Mr.. c. c. Clay, Beverly
Tucker, Jacob Thompson, George
n. Sanders and w. C. Cleary were
accused by President Johnson of
completely in the murder of Abra-
ham Lincoln. We hove no apollo
gies to make for Jeff Davis. In our
estimation he was the least fit, both
in point of capacity and moral
character. for the high position he
held of any man in the confederacy,
with the possible exceptions OF
Bragg and Wigfall. But if the ar
iicle was really meant to vindicate
the truth of history, it would have
explained that johnson was a
drunken ass, and that the parties
Ire accused were not guilty. Another
article will be needed to vindicate
the truth of history in the case Of
the late Indian war, and it will be
forthcoming some Of these times.

The Irrigation Congress.

Irrigation is a subject in which
Idaho farmers are directly and inn
mediately interested, and in which,
by reason of the benefits wise and
judicious system of irrigation would
confer upon that large and impor-
tant class of our citizens, all other
classes should feel equally con-
cerned. BY the reclamation of our
arid lands, immigration will be in
invited, our young state settled up
and all of our people benefited. To
do the work satisfactorily and we'll
the reasons and principles involved
must be understood, and the best
methods employed. knowledge Of
this kind can be best acquired
by an extensive comparison Of
views and ideas relating to the mat
ter, and the thorough and intelli-
gent discussion of their relative
merits and dement's by persons who
have had experience or who have
thought upon the subject. The
coming Irrigation Congress will af-
ford an excellent opportunity for
such comparison and discussion,
and Idaho should have a full rep
resentation in that body. The most
experienced irrigators in the coun-
try-those of Utah-will be there,
and their views and experience con-
trasted and compared with the
views and experience of irrigators
from California and other sections,
where farmers depend for their sue
cess so largely upon the intelligent
use of the waters of the streams,
cannot but be edifying, and, we re-
peat, the opportunity to profit by
it, should not be neglected. The
rapid or slow growth of our state,
both in. town and country, is con-
tingent to very great extent upon
the early and right application Of
it's waters to the vast tracts of arid
but fertile soil. which cannot be
made productive by any other
known means.
The Congress will convene at
Salt Lake City on Tuesday next,
September 18th. and will remain
in session three days. Towns, cities
Alliance organizations and the pub
lie at large will be entitled to lib.
eral representation, and as many as
feel able to afford the outlay should
| attend.
