would the fight OF Canadians from their
native provinces to this country be stopped
~ Canada should be Joined to the United
States as constituent part OF the great
American rcpublici We do not mako any
predictions ono way or the other. But we
must take accent Of fact that should not
be overlooked by those Canadians who are
anxious 10 obtain an answer to the ques-
ton. Canadians como to this country
mainly because they can find hero greater
prosperity. moro liberty. and more pleas
ure than they have found In Canada. Now.
II the provinces became States OF the
Union. they would very certainly en-
10Y grand revival they would
obtain commercial advantages that must
promote the general prosperity: they would
possess all the liberties that are the inher'-
lance OF this country: and they would be
brought within range OF the noble pleasures
OF life by which American happiness Is pro-
NOTED. It may be supposed that. under these
circumstances. tho rush from Canada to this
country would be reduced in volume. and
the provinces would be relieved from the
alarm which they suffer on account OF this
rush. There is. at least. good hope in these
considerations. and we can see no other
hope for Canada.
Besides all else. II Canada were under the
stars and Stripes. many Americans would
20 there. and the Transforming influence OF
Americanism would coon be enjoyed by the
Canadians in full measure.

The Horse in New Climates.

Our faithful friend. the horse. is greatly
missed by all whose fortune takes them to
regions where he does not thrive Just as
in Minnesota the farmers are always on
the lookout for varieties OF apple trees
hardy enough to stand the climate. so In
some tropical ATTITUDES where horses have
not been introduced. there is great longing
for them. and hope that some equine
variety may be found adapted for conditions
under which the race does not now flourish.
In the dry heat OF the northern Soudan.
where tropical verdure gradually gives
place TO desert sands. the horse thrives
finely. In the Mohammedan States OF that
region there nre multtudes OF the finest Of
horses: but when these animals are taken
into moister climates toward the sea or the
equator they begin to fail, and natives say

the irrigation system, since the existing
water courses will not permit that. But 1t
Is believed that one-fifth OF this area can DO
turned into good farming land: and to nc
compiish such result would justify great
outlay of labor and money.
The act OF Oct Q. 1Sss. appropriated $780,
600 for Investigating the extent 10 which
tho arid lands could be redeemed and for
setting apart irrigable lands and reservoir
sites. At the end OF the first years opera
lions there had been surveyed nearly $4,000
square miles. and measurements OF streams
had been made in vnrious drainage basins.
The following year the appropriation was
$3.50, 900. and the results were increased. A
good idea of the hydrographyo Of the drainage
basins Of the Missouri. the Upper Yellow
stone. the Sun River. Cache la Poudre
Creek. the Arkansas. tho Rio Grande. the
Snake. the Bear, the Provo, the Sewer. the
Truckee. and the Carson. was obtained by
the Investigations. Up to the close OF last
year over $50 reservoir sites had been sur
veyed and held FOR the action OF Congress,
and many important facts MS to the
storage capacity OF tho various sites had
been collected.
But while the Government has done much
In this direction for irrigation. md will
probably do much more. the actual labor Of
damninR and ditching should be provided
for by judicious transfer OF the lands to
the states. with the needed authority over
the water courses. Tho earncstness with
which the whole subject OF irrigation is re-
garded ut the West is itself a guarantee
that the steps to profit by such legislation
will he taken.
Indeed, the enthusiasm OF tho arid region
over its aridty Is one OF the modern mar
wells OF the West and n very pleasant object
OF contemplation. Probably at this moment
the irrigation farmers are grateful for their
preservation from inundaton. as well as
from the pcrls OF drought. Tho misfor-
tunes OF agriculture in regions TINT depend

The Arid Region.

The bill pendin & in Congress TO turn over
to the States and Territories the arid public
lands lying within their respective limits.
so that they may make what they can OF
these lands by irrigation. has sound and
sensible basis. 1t may need to be guarded
by additional restrictions in order to pro-
duce the most beneficial results. Since tho
water courses on which the systems of
reservoirs. dams. and bitches depend often
traverse two or more States, care is TO-
quired in framing legislation Of this sort. A
danger also to be guarded against is the
possible perversion OF such project OF gen.
eral benefit to tho purposes OF monopolies
and rings that might otherwise control local
Legislatures. These. however. are details
under tho general plan. The first inquiryis
as TO whether the proposed distribution of
the arid lands Is the wisest one; and OF this
there seems to BIO little doubt.
The irrigation necessary to make this
vast domain fertile should be undertaken
by private enterprise. under State laws.
Thus far there has been little demand
upon Congress for any work except pre-
liminary surveying and tho segrega-
ton OF reservoir sites. But after tho
great areas of fertile soil now open
for homestead settlement shall have
been taken up. the Federal Govern
ment will DO urged, probably. to apply
irrigation to the arid lands in order that they
may bring better price. That is not tho
business OF the Government; and even as
measure OF economy 1t should give up these
lands now in order that by the time they
are needed for occupation they may have
been made fertile under State supervision.
OF course mineral lands would be exempted
from such grants.
AS generally defined. the arid region Of
the United States lies between tho Tooth
meridian on the cast and the Coast Range
on the west. and extends from the British
possessions to Mexico. 1t covers nearly
LOCO. 900 square miles, and includes Colorado.
Utah. Nevada. Wyoming. Idaho. New Next

1900 votes. Mr.. Scorr received 1882.
There were also County Democrats for
FLOWER 9,o57. and County Democrats for
FAssETr l.295.
In other words. about nine-tenths OF the

quence of their exclusion. for JACOB SLoAT

who are carrying on the present May move
ment. Mr.. FLOWER was triumphantly
elected by majority OF 1900. He would
have been triumphantly elected. too.
though by n somewhat smaller majority. II
every County Democrat in this city. high
or low. had voted against him.
The Saratoga Convention did right in ex-
Guiding the pretcnders. for there is no sanc
man who believes that the fight for FLOWER
and SHEEHAN would have been as earnest
rs 1t was. that their majority would have
been as large ns 1t was. that the overthrow
OF the Republicans would have been as
sweeping as 1t was. II the Saratoga Conven-
ton had hesitated or faltered about re-
jecting those disorganizing delegates. small
OF following but loud OF noise. They will
be excluded at Chicago. and the majority
for the Democracy OF New York will be
larger for their exclusion.
1t is under these circumstances that. esti
mating at between 200 and 1900 the nu-
merical value Of the CLEVELAND contingent
in New York city. we SEQ no occasion to
credit the accusations OF fraud and taking
made by our contemporary, the World.
Yet these accusations are pretty generally
believed by those who have closely followed
the doings OF the Clevelandltes.
