strand Canon Of Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1862 miles from Kansas City, is
the town Of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado ri8er. More than
a mile in depth, this is the sublimest of

and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Secretary Carl
isle and the Democratic members of the
ways and means committee have been all

RECLAMATION OF AR d LANDS.

The address to the people of the
United States issued by the interna-
tional irrigation congress recently held
at Los Angeles must be regarded as ex-
pressing the matured and deliberate
opinions of a majority of the advocates
of retaining the arid lands of the pub
lie domain. The address declares that
the problem of %conquering these arid
deserts is national in essence, and this is
the keynote of the policy which the con-
gress approved and announced. 1t looks
to the general government for q large
part of the work that must be lone in
order to render this vast r~ainless region
productive. In the first ,place, the ad-
dress declares that nothing must be al
lowed to j~eopardize interstate streams,
which must be conserved and equitably
divided under federal authority. AS to
the amount Of land that may be taken
up by settlers under systems of irriga-
ton, it is proposed to limit it to forty
ceres, and the prediction is made that in
the future it will be found desirable to
reduce the amount still further. 1t Is
also proposed to restrict the taking up OF
| public lands to the citizens of the United
States, this having become necessary,
the address says, with increase of popu-
lation and, is also desirable as rendering
more difficult the requirement OF lands
for speculative purposes. The congress
urged the Importance of an enlightened
policy for the care and preservation of
tho forests and indorsed the policy of
forest and storage reservation covering
the mountain watersheds of the west.
The address says it is an act OF simple
justice to ask the government to devote
a portion of the money received from
the sale of lands in the semi-arid region
to the practical means for their reclama-
tion and urges speedy action by congress
in this direction. 1t declares that the
time has come when the work of devel-
oping an arid land policy o. broad na-
tional and state lines can no
longer be delayed, and to the
end that harmony OF action
may be secured the national execu'
tive committee of the congress was
authorized to appoint a commission foi
each state and territory in the arid oil
semi-arid regions, such commissions tt
investigate the conditions existing In
their respective states and territories
and formulate plans looking to the adop
tion of a national policy to be supple
mented by appropriate local laws. b,
this means it is hoped that a satisfactory
irrigation policy "a be attained. The
congress advised all states In the arid
region to make provision for depart
ments of irrigation, Supervision and
engineering, and to vigorously prose
cute the work of practical inyesti
cation. ITO deal with the arid PUB

lie domain" says the address, us OF
the mighty tasks Of the future. 1t
means not only the conquest of a new
agricultural empire and a tremendous
contribution TO the national wealth OF
the future, but II involves the develop
ment of new forms Of civilization and
will give new life to popular institu-
tions." This will not be regarded as
in the least degree exaggerated by those
who have given this question of reclaim
ing the arid lands thoughtful c%onsidera-
tion. These and the semi-arid lands
which still belong to the people OF the
United States and which are divided
among seventeen states and territories
contain 542. 600, 900 acres. A consider
able portion of this can v be
cultivated and will be valuable
only for range purposes or for for
est reservations. but the area that can
be made productive by irrigation is suf-
ficient to supply farms, the production
of which, it is believed, will n day
equal in value the product raised. under
q natural rainfall. Just how much of
the arid domain 1t is possible to reclaim
cannot be definitely stated, but 1t Is es-
timated that the area which may be sue
cessfully cultivated with irrigation will
equal in extent the tillable lands of half
a dozen states the size of New York.
At the same time, it is to be remem'
bered, irrigated lands return q much
larger yield than those dependents upor
natural rainfall, and it is estimated thai
under irrigation there is possible a pop
ulation to the square mile from ten tc
fifteen times that of the eastern states
Whoever will intelligently consider this
subject cannot doubt that it is one Of
very great Importance.

II REQUIRES an enlightened congress
man from Kansas to introduce a bill
abolishing certain custom collections
Offices on the ground that the receipts at
some particular port do not equal the
expenses. Pretty soon he will make
some inquiries at the Treasury depart
ment and he will learn that the greater
part Of the force at most ports of entry
have to be maintained to guard against
smuggling whether any imports are re-
ceived or not. He may possibly find
that the additional expense necessitated
by permitting the entrance of goods ex-
ceeds the collections. But what of
that? If the Postoffice department
refused to open a new postoffice until the
business at a particular point justified
the expenditure our postal system would
not have been expanded nearly SO rapidly
as thas been nor would the business have
increased 50 fast as it has. The princi-
pie upon which our government is con-
Quoted is tn. greatest good to the great
est number. The custom house, like
the postoffice, should be viewed as a
whole and from a broad standpoint.

INDIANS AS SOLDIERS.

General Brooke's annual report as
commander Of the Department OF the
Platte. devotes considerable attention to
has been making for the past two years
with the enlistment OF Indians as
soldiers in the regular army. General
Brooke himself devotes but a paragraph
to the subject, giving his own opinion,
which he submits in conjunction with
the reports of the various officers who
have had direct personal supervision
over the Indian companies under the
department.. '"The principle difficulty"
says General Brooke, ''seems to be that
the Indians do not speak English. Fiom
my knowledge of the race | 40 not think
it proceeds from any other than a
natural dread of ridicule on account of
mistakes made in their attempts to speak
our language, the Indian being
peculiarly sensitive to ridicule. The
experiment is receiving the attention of
all connected with it; it's ultimate sue
cess TO- depends largely upon the
Indian soldiers themselves"
OF the eight officers whose reports
have been rendered, two only have come
to the conclusion that the experiment
has proven a failure. One o r two of the
remainder seem to be still in doubt
as to the success of the Indian as a
soldier, while the others have been
convinced that he is doing as well, il
not better, than could be expected after
an ohnpf q parinl All anpan that hiG
deficient knowledge of the English
language is proving a great obstacle to
his discipline and efficiency, but in many
other directions he is said to display in
a high degree those qualities which are
desirable in military circles.
The Indian, to be sure, does not easily
adapt himself to life in military quar-
tiers, but the improvement in habits and
in a sense of his own responsibility he
has been noticeable and remarked upon
by his commanding officers. The Indian
gives little trouble as regards the more
serious offenses against military disci-
pline. He, like the white soldier, is
strongly tempted to drink whenever pay
day rolls around, but, unlike the white
SOLDIER, Is incapable OF w~lthstand1ng the
effects of more than a small quantity OF
liquor. 1t is to this that the complain,
of excessive drunkenness among the In.
dian soldiers must be attributed. They
do not drink much, but become intoxi'
Gated after the first %draughts.
Some of the officers grow quite enthusi
iastic over the prospects of the Indiar
soldiers and see in their discipline ant
instruction the salvation of the entire
red race. That they have shown marked
Improvement is the universal opinion
The experience of the officers with tn,
Indian soldiers certainly goes to confirm
the views of General Brooke that tn,
whole matter is in the experimental
stage and deserves still further expert
ment before any decision as to its success
or failure should be rendered.

Immigration Is now at low tide, work is
scarce, and America has for a tine lost its
attractions for the poor of Europe, and now
is the time to study the problem and erect
barriers against the flood which will come
as soon as the workshops start up sgain and
there is a demand for labor. Surely con-
fruitless debate, should get ready to deal
with the question so closely affecting the
welfare of millions of toilers. No relief
that could be devised by the charitable

from the announcement that the senate had

journed its extra session, leaving commit
tees at work to prepare for early passage In
the regular session a bankruptcy act and an
act to put wholesome restraint upon such
immigration as disturbs our labor market

COURTESY to the foreign exhibitors
at the Worlds fair is very we'll in it's
way but the proposed rebate of fifty
per cent of their import duties is moth.
ing more NOR less than a gift pure
and simple. 1t will be just so much
money put into the pockets of those ex-
hibitors and a most rank discrimination
against domestic importers. The goods
will not be marked down one cent below
the price at which they would otherwise
sell and the consumer cannot derive any
possible benefit from the unwarranted
generosity Of congress. The Worlds
fair has received princely aid from the
government without objection on tn,
part OF the people. But .favoritism u
