WARRINGTON, Dec. 4.-Thc second scs-
sion OF tho Fifty-second congress which
begins tomorrow is likely To- bc more rc-
markablc for discussion than for action,
principally because of n lack of oppor-
tunity for the latter, The thing that will
be done is TO proyilc means for tho MAIN
tenancc OF tho government, and |, Is gem
orally believed the regular annual appro-
priation bills will represent nearly all the
positive achievements that can bc cred
tied TO the session. There may. however,
be several important exceptions, and one
OF these relates 10 the subject Of immigra-
tion. Publ,c interest in the subject has
been stimulated by the radical suggests ION
of the senate immigration committee,
that all immigration be SUSPENDED for one
year. Undoubtedly powcrful influences

A strong effort certainly will be made TO
secure n rcpcal of the Sunday closing

some action will bc taken To protcct rail-
road cmploycs from the numerous CASUAL
ties tina, result from obscure devices to
couple and stop freight trains. These
matters comprise what tho hest Judgment
comedies to be all tho probable original
legislation ON the mart of the second scs-
sion of the Fifty.sccond congress. So
much is involved I'm the revenue question,
aud in appropriatious 10 DO made, that
more or less division on the tonic may bc
expected. The senate finance committee
has not vet compleied it's compilation Of
a series of elaborate reports upon th. diff
fcrent tariff systems tried in tho United
States. These rcports probably will bo
most interesting, and may come under
discussion at some period of the session.
Then there are bills TO admit Arizona and
New Mexico 10 statehood. The house

Great satisfaction has been produced In
the territory of New Mexico by the organ
ization OF land court and the character
of tho Judges selected. A large number
OF claims, covering enormous tracts OF
lands, claimed under Spanish and Mex
ican grants, were presented and number
confirmed. There has been a healthy and
natural growth of tho population of tho
territory, especially In the Pecos valley.
where great Inducements are Offered by
an excellent system OF irrigation, which
supplements natural advantages. Tho

THE WEATHER.
TIE InnIGATIoN CONVENTION.

At neon to-day the first organized
body of citizens Of Montana to consider
exclusively the question of our arid
lands and the best way Of dealing with
them will assemble in Electric hall.
The scope Of the conventions work re-
mains to be determined. 1t may be
wide and take the form OF q discussion
Of the whole subject in all it's bearings.
or it may be limited to the one question
whether the federal government should
retain control of the arid lands or ceds
them to the state. 1t is probable that
the discussion will center about this one
proposition and that the outcome of the
conventions work will he q memorial to
congress for or against the granting OF
the lands to the state. Gov. Toole has
declared himself unqualiiedly in favor
of the general government abandoning
the lands to the state. In a recent
article contributed to The lNDEPEND-
EST, the governor said: "Many have
commended that the best method to be
employed with these lands is to insist
upon the United States controlling and
managing the matter and the whole
system OF irrigation. 1t is sufficient to
reject this system that it necessarily
implies continued ownership Of the land
by the federal government, because
every person who is at all familiar with
the arid region knows that the control
OF the water is tantamount to the own
ership Of the soil unless the SUBJECT is
under state control"
There is much force in this point and
we doubt not that a majority of the del
egates will favor some form of state
control. Yet the delegates will do we'll
to bear in mind that they cannot gain
for the state the vast body of the
national domain lying within our
borders without taking upon the COM
monwealth corresponding obligations
and burdens. They should reflect that
there are in Montana to-day, as is
shown by a table in another column,
more than Il, 100000 acres of unsurveyed
lands and less than 2l,000,000 of sur
veyed lands. If all these lands are to
pass at once to the control Of the state,
: what shall we do with them? They can
not be utilized or disposed of until
they are surveyed, and the cost
of a survey would impose a heavy tax
upon our citizens. Assuming that con-
Fgress is asked to grant the lands to the
state should not the proviso 60 with our
request that the government first COM
plete the survey, turning the lands over
as fast as the work is done? The row
eminent should know what it is giving
us; we should know what we are get
ting.
AT least we should not ask that the
sunsurveyed lands pass from the control
Of the government until the state has
framed legislation for their care and
preservation. Otherwise We should find
we had drawn an elephant in a lottery.
