IRRIGATION.

Irrigation by artesian wells is rapidly
increasing in some parts of the country.
Artesian basins notably exist in the Da-
kotas over region comprising 1900
square miles. r. J. Hinton reports that
there are in the United States, west of the
ninety-seventh meridian, 1892 flowing
wells
The use of these wells in irrigation"
adds this authority. "has only Just begun
The estimate in the two Dakotas of the
areas so irrigated is 6,oo0 acres. In Cali
foruia it will be at least sc, 900 acres Else
where there will he sufficient irrigation
through artesian water TO make the total
area not less than 100000 acres. A marked
increase during the past year of an ar
tesian supply for farm and orchard pur-
poses has been noted in South Dakota in
Western Kansas, in the San Luis valley
in Utah. in Western Texas, in California,
and, to a limited extent, in Eastern Wash
ington." Texas has 800 deep-howing wells.

beyond dispute that the utilization OF such sun

precipitation, may be of the greatest service

be made to have = beginning through irriga-

There are great irrigating wells in Cali
fornia, found in Tuare, Kern, Los Angeles
and San Bernsrdino counties. In Kern
county there are over seventy wells, some
of them having daily flow of from two TO
three million gallons. Near San Ber-
nardino is group of twenty-nine artesian
wells, which have converted 5000 acres

AN ISSUE THAT WILL NOT DOWN.

1t is fact that since 1875 the elections
throughout the South have been carried by
constant fraud and deliberate violation of
the laws of the United States. and that in
consequence of these methods Democratic
majorities in the lower house have been
frequently elected, majority in the
electoral college once secured, and presi-
dent elected by the violation and nullif-
cation of law seated in the White House.
This is one of the strong points that the
Republican party makes today in its indict-
ment of the Democratic party; makes not in
passionate partisanship. but as part of its
appeal to the sober judgment of the ma
ton not to trust the administration of the
government to political party that is in
power in the lower house of congress, not
because of law, but in defiance and nullif-
cation of law. 1t is a fair subject of earn
est remonstrance; it is summons to
better and more upright methods to Sc
cure party success.
The Republican party this year cannot
ignore this fact in its platform or in its
campaign speeches, not because the re-
election of Republican administration
would be cure-all for the situation we
call the Solid South, but for the reason
that fair appeal to the decent opinions of
mankind at the North to withdraw polit-
ical confidence from party that sits in
the saddle in the national house because
it has stolen the horse, will in time make a
North as solid for ripbt Within thu 10 w, a.
the South is solid for wrong without the
law.
The issue is one of deep moral signifi-
canoe in politics, and the wrong cannot
continue forever. Frank protest against it
cannot always be stormed down.

Mayor Ronald is making satisfactory
progress. He has removed police COM
missioner ''for cause" without making
any attempt TO specify what the cause
was. He has bluffed another police COM
missioner into resigning and has fright
ened third into submission. According
to Mr.. Ronald's Interpretation the charter
is an instrument which confers autocratic
powers upon the mayor and creates few
other offices to be filled or vacated at the
mayors pleasure.

In Memoriam.

j.
Alike all loved him; careful student, drone,
Scapegrace or steady man; all knew
His mild reproof was for their help alone,
And his reproofs were few.
No man remembers him to have his heart
No gift of comeliness had he. scant grace
OF bearing, little pride of mien--
He had the rugged, old-time Roundhead face.
Severe and yet serene.
But through those keen and steadfast eyes of
blue
The soul shone, fearless. modest, strong and
true.
And when at times he smiled, one always
thought
OF early, rare New England springs
OF sudden, fleeing April sun oeams caught
Amid some farm, that clings
Rock sown i'll paying him that strives to till,
Along the slope OF New England hill.
".
He sought the truth, the vision of his mind.
Discerning, clear, he would not dim
With hatt-true compromise; he cast behind
All that rang false to him.
His search is ended now his labor done,
His reQuiescat well and fully won.
"
The college elms are sleeping; winter still
Broods In the sap; but soon their veins
Under the waxing April sun will thrill,
And soon come April rains:
And they will wake, and bow themselves and
wait
For sight of one for whom they wake too late

Davenport Times: There are number OF gen.

an ambition to represent the state at the ma
tional Republican convention, and the contest
will no doubt prove a spirited one. From pres
emit information it is likely that Lincoln county
will also present a candidate.

Trained Eagles.

An Indian boy of the Sioux tribe, at
Pine Ridge agency, has Il pair OF pets
which arc not only strange and inter
csting, but useful rs we'll. These are
two bald eagles. The boy shot an old
eagle with an arrow, and, following
the wounded bird to its nest. killed it,
and took from tho nest two cnglets.
He carried them home, and began q
course OF training which has resulted
in having the birds so fully under con-
troll that they come and go at his COM
mand. He takes them out, and when
he sights any quarry he turns his
eagles loose, after fastening their
beaks so that they cannot cat tho ami
NAL, and the birds Immediately give
chase and bring down the prey. Young
Indians are not allowed to own or carry
guns; but the boy, with only his bow
and arrows and his eagles. is the most
successful hunter Of the tribe, and
never goes out without bringing homo
some game, from rabbit to O deer.
He has been offered large sums for his
pets, but will not part with them for
any price. Days.
