attention, makes It probable that some
practical legislation will be secured
from the present congress to advance
the cause Of irrigation. What the
friends of the movement to this end
need to do, therefore, is to reject all
plans obnoxious to the %judicious counsel
of the president and secretary Of
the interior, and to avoid all APP
pearance OF seeking to inaugurate
n policy that might he turned
to the advantage Of monopoly or would
give to corporations the power to OPP
press the people. The suggestions that
have peer submitted to congress on this
subject are sound, practical and pru-
dent, and they should have recognition
in any Legislation relating to irrigation
in the arid region where the authority
of the general government extends.

He Made Some History.

I'f rttft 'ftDO'tfNit"
A few days ago, in a poorhouse in Ohio,
the author of the homestead law died at tho
age of 81 years. Thirty years ago be was q
very popular man in congress, and was
known as 'Land Bill Allen" Several
months ago he went to the poorhouse, and
now no has gone to the graveyard. Whether
bad luck, bad habits or bad management
brought him so low in his old age is not
stated in the brief dispatch published. In
fact. 1t does not matter which. The point he
made in history was made in it's own time,
and the result helped to hurry the world on
its way. Many states have come into the
union since the homestead bill became a law,
and several were kept in the Union which
were trying to get out about that time; and,
since facts in history are kept alive by pre-
serving memories OF men, perhaps some
homesteaders will think il worth while by
and-bye to erect a monument to Land Bill
Allen" He got into the poorhouse himself,
but he was ID his own time Instrumental in
keeping a good many other people out of it.
He died without an acre, but helped many
another man TO a good farm of 1850 acres. He
pointed the way to a plentiful and peaceful
old age, and IN many a speech advocating his
pet bill drew a picture of comfort and con-
tentment; but somehow fate made q sort of
guiaeboard OF him to point the way and
never 90.

EIGHT votes represented the strength
of the independent peoples party in the
speakership contest and seven of them
were from Kansas and Nebraska. The
other one was from Georgia, and in order
to keep him from voting with the demo-
Gratis he was given their caucus nominal
tion for speaker. 1t is sad commentary
on political fidelity that the %thirty-two
other independent congressman turned
up missing and were doubtless kept
away because of their laundering after
the democratic heshpots.

FATAL Drunk,
Morphine Given TO Sober Up a Man
Kills Him.

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 10.-About ten days
ago A. H. Haze and his bride came here from
Salida and took rooms on Twenty-third
street. Last night Haze met an old friend
named M. A. Harger, and the two determ-
ined to have a spree over the event. They
remaided down town until nearly midnight
when they started home, Haze greatly under
the influence of liquor. Harger being ad-
dicted to the use of morphine and not wish
ing to take his friend to his wife in such a
condition, suggested a hyperdermic injection
of the poison, which was agreed to. Shortly
after the drug was administered Haze was
taken violently i'll and died within an hour.
Harger declares that he gave the morphine
upon the request of haze and his wife, and
that afterwards he gave him a dose of afro
phine upon the advice of a physician. The
physician present at the time of the death
was unable to determine whether death was
the result of the morphine, %atrophine or
whisky.
