Irrigation il Kansas dates from 1880,
when a small ditch was taken from the
Arkansas river at Garden City, through
the enterprise of a few settlers then
scattered along the valley. Besides
numerous private enterprises, there are
eleven distinct systems of canals in Kan
sas. Of these, eight are in the Arkansas
river valley, and covering portions of
every county through which that stream
flows from Larned to the west end of the
state, one In the Cimarron valley, in
Clark county; one in the Solomon valley,
in Phillips county, and one in the Repub-
lican valley, in Cheyenne county. All
this has deem done by private enterprise,
that is to say without government as
sistance, and if the systems prosecuted
with the same vigor as heretofore, it
will be but short time until the IT.
rigable area that is within reach of ade-
quate water supplies will have been
brought under this harvest-insuring
system of agriculture.

While we all realize that the self
styled Reform party has done and is
doing all it can to make the politi-
cal situation serious, one cannot but
smile at the extra constitutional
utterances of the leaders of that
party as to the course Her Majesty
must take in forming new Cabinet.
Why do the said leaders stop at the
British precedent of calling a leader
of the majority to form Cabinet9
Why not go further and compel the
persons called to Cabinet positions
to stand the ordeal of an election for
the district they representa- Such a
course would indeed result in gov
ernment "of the people, by the peo-
pie, for the people," so loudly de.
manded by the Maui mobiles. OF
course a Reform government might
not fill ministers chairs for a long
time to come, but the country might
be better off without such govern
ment.

THE MAIL SERVICE.

News by the Mariposa indicates
that the San Francisco mail route
has not improved in its situation
since last previous accounts. The
Imperial Government will not recede
from its decision to place the mails
by this route on the footing of the
Postal Union. Hitherto the British
Post Office has been paying at the
rate of 12s a pound for letters, all
books and newspapers being carried
free. The Postal Union rates would
be 30s Sd a pound for letters, and 3d
a pound for books and newspapers.
The reduction of payment would
amount to a loss of $4,000 to the
contractors. Again the Auckland
Herald gives figures to show that to
New Zealand the San Francisco
mail service is unquestionably the
most rapid, while claiming that it
admits of being made the speediest
mail service for New South Wales
and Victoria also. 1t says: "The
present steamers on the Pacific are
not up to the mark, but the con-
tractors state that if they had con-
tract for term, say, five or ten
years, they would put on a better
class of boats. At present the con-
tract, it must be remembered, is only
from year to year, and in the circum-
stances improvement in the boats
cannot be looked for" AS the Agent
General of New Zealand has not
succeeded in getting the Imperial
Post Office authorities to retreat
from their determination topay only
Postal Union rates, the Postmaster
General of New Zealand has ap-
pealed to New South Wales to aid so
that the service may be continued.
The growing advantages to the
United States of direct steam com
munication with the Colonies ought
to justify expectations that the Am
erican Government would come to
the aid of the service before seeing
it abandoned.

aYotes for Hopkins and Male

"Votes for Hopkins and Male
were intended to be votes for the
lottery and for new Constitution"
Advertiser, Sept. 18th. 857 votes
were given for Mr.. G. l.. Hopkins.
Does the Advertiser mean for one
moment to say that 857 of the Noble
voters of Honolulu are in favor of
the lottery2 In its desire to belittle
the strength of the feeling in sup
port of the Ministry the Advertiser
unthinkingly puts weapons in the
hands of the supporters of that pro-
ject hitherto SO unsparingly con-
demned by it. The votes given to
Messrs. Hopkins and Male were
votes in favor of the Ministry, and
anyone who says that they were
wholly given on account of the lot
terry is guilty of the basest slander
on the reputable portion of the com
munity.
