Millions of Water

Can the Colorado river furnish water enough at all times to irrigate the 6,5OO,- GOO acres of rich and fertile lands which lie adjacent to Yuma? The lowest stage of water known in the Colorado, for A years. was in the month of March, wbe3 it stood at 12 feet, or four feet eight inches lower than at the present time. Tn. flow of water at that time, as taken by the U. .. government engineers, was 7,658 cubic feet per second. The average height of the water in the river on March l, for 14 years, has been F feet and 4.3 inches. For the same period, the aver age for May has been P feet, for June 22 feet 3 inches, for July l9 feet inches and August F feet 91b inches, or an average for the four moaths for rfOurteen years, of 20 feet , inches, or 100000 cubic feet per second, or water enough; taking the averag amount of water used CT acre for irrigation in Egypt, India, Spain, Italy, FraGce and the United States, which is 280 acres for every cubic foot of water, to irrigats 2S,OOO,- GOO acres, or enough for Yuma's 6,0OOOOO acres, and then more than enough 10 float any steamer from here to the gulf that ever plowed the turbid waters of the Colorado. People when talking on this subject seem to forget that this great stream is at its flood just at the time, when water IS most needed for irrigation, during the four mentbs of May, June, July and August. Even at the lowest stage ever known, 12 fec, it would irrigate 2,144, 24O acres. These figures. which are the results obtained from scme of the best irrigation engineers living, show con- clusively that tbere need never be any fear of exhausting the supply of water iu the Colorado for irrigation purpose, even though they are not based, upon the vast amount of water that can be stored, if it was necessary to do so, be tween the months of September and April, or the fall and winter months when no water is necessary for lrrlga- tion Sentinel.

If Thomas Jeller- son could rse from the grave and hear such a society call bim it's patron sa nt wIth out icing booted down by ihe pub lie as a fraud" he would think the world had been turned into mad-houce. he boss of Tammany Hall i5 sittipg in his office in Four eenth Street in ap le .r- ance plain and modest private citizen. He pcs -sses neither official character nor iit.e, but he IS the ruler whom persons If official character and title obey He receives petitions and remonslrances from his feliow-citiZens as if they were ms subjects, and says aye or no as one Of highest authority. He issues orders and instructions to the mayor of New York and to other officers of the city government as 10 policies to be foll lwt d, measures to be executed, subordinates to be appointed or removed, and his will is accepted as law. DlsC bedience may occur. but l. is punished with poiit ca. banishmert or death. He gives out his commands 10 members of the Legisla- ture from this city as to bills to be pass ed or to be defeated; and members know that il they show a will of their own, they will find the will or the boss as au almost insurmOuntable obstacle in the way of their reelection. And what ever private citizen renders himself ob- nOXious to him may have to suffer all the injuries and annoyances which an abitrary use of the municipal power may be able to iuflict. The boss may listen to the advice of his followers, but his will rules. This is one-man government. It is difficult to imagine anything more undemocratic.

MR. CLEVELAND is certainly trying hard to dictate legislation to the present Con- gress. There is good reason for the as- sertioD that the proposed radical amend ments to the pension laws, which were when first offered vo ed down by the House commi;tee on a; preparations, and last week adopted by that committee, are the result of direct orders from him. Mir. Holman joined the Republican members of the committee in protesting and voting against these amendments, winch are to be offered to the pension appropriation bill when it comes up in the House, but they were outvoted. These amendments are first, for the transfer of the D nsiOn bureau to lhe War Department and the detail of army officers to serve as comis iOJers and deputy commissioners; second, tr sus- pend all pensions paid to pensioners not disabled by wounds xho have an annual income in excess of S60 a y. ar; third, to suspend all pensions paid to widows If soldiers who were not mari, d to tbem within five years after the close of the war, fourth, to suspend all pensions, ex- cept those for total disabilities, W paid to alien non-resident Whatever may be done by the next Congress it may be set down as certain that these amend ments will never be adopted by this Congress. It is believed that the pur- pose in offering them is to feel the pulse of the public on the pension quest on.

POPULAR ELECTION OF UNITED
 STATES SENATOR'S.

Long continued balloting for United States Senator, says the Ore and Metal Review, is not an unusual occurrence. But this year 1t has taken on a less con- gested form than is common. Several states have been at 1t for several weeks and some are still in the throes of un- certainty.
 We believe that such contests are dis tracing tc the legislative mind, and we know that they retard the progress of law making. Perhaps we might get along on the manufacture of fewer en- actmsnts than We are accustomed to: nevertheless legislators should be per mitted to give their entire time to the correcting of imperfect laws and the framing of such new ones as our chang ing conditions and our advancement clearly demand.
 Neither in the legislative halls nor in the canvass preceding the election oi our law makers does It appear desira ble to wrangle over the question "WhO shall be greatest?" In the canvass the general fitness of a candidate to represent hls county and effect needed legislation is apt to be much less enquired about than his leanings toward senatorial aspirants. This IS all wrong. It is sometimes, not often, matter of genuine public con- cern that Smith, and not Jones, shall be sent to the Senate but in our present practice the senatorial question Is always a disturbing element.
 It would be infinitely better to trans fer the strife from legislatures to state conventions. There the nominations would be made in short order and the people on election day would do the rest on the first ballot.
 The history of the present system is a history of waste, bristling with scandal

A promi- nent Democrat is authority for the state ment that it will depend upon pr Il of the House and Senate of the next Con- gress, which the friends of MT. Cleveland are now trying to make. If the poll shows a majority for repeal an extra session will be called; otherwise not.

ARIZONA Populists have declared, against the Sherman bill and have de- trmined upon its repeal. Evidently the members of that faith in Congress have not be n apprIsed of this determination for the reason that when the measure was before the Senate for repeal, they voted solidly against 1t. We modestly r se and call the attention of the Tucson club to that fact and suggest that they take the proper measures for having their views Eot only respected but en- breed in Congress. 4 set of resolutions would, We think, bring the recalcitrant members to terms. A like set of resolu- tions would also settle the trouble in Kansas.

4 MAJORITY of the House Judiciary committee has at lat agreed to the re port of the Honest ad investigation which was prepared by Representative Oates, chairman of the subcommittee which made the investigation. This re- port will not make enjoyable reading for Democrat editors who made the Home stead troubles the basis for partisan edi- torials, during the late campaign, for 1t says that the tariff had nothing to do with the troubles, and that the strikers were he GgEreesors. It also condemns the Use of the Pipkertons and says that

 Accusations of Frank.

As Mrs. Kibby took her seat in tn

 it was plain she was deeply aFecte1
 She was dressed entirely in black ant | her face was shruuded m a heavy blacl veil. Every seat was taken; outsider

 the stove door as she spoke, was hear' | by every one In the court room.
 The examination was conducted b. Judge Israel who, by occasional deli | cately directed que tiOns, drew for
 Mrs. Kibby's story. With eyes cast upOr | the floor. slowly and with frequent ops she told of her husbands unusual anC wild manner during the Phoenix wis t, al the Mills House in that city, and on the road driving home through Tempe.
 "He was not himself" she said. "His eyes were wild and bloodsho,; his con versstIon disjointed. Frequently he would begin sentences and Dos finish them. He said he had been drunk fOI two weeks. At the table before leaving he talked very strangely to one ot tIe ladies, cling her that he always liked her and wished her to tell her husband, when he came in, that he liked him too. He put his hand fir quently to his head as though it were in great pain.
 "Wten We n ared Tempe he sad he must have something to drink. l re- monstrated with him, saying had a great deal to say 10 him nd he must not drink. l finally so persuaded blm tha, he did not"
 The evidence of Mrs. Kibby, ir this connectior, was calculate d to show that her husband was in such a men al con dltio at the time as scarcely 10 knf hat he was doing. In regard to the memorable visit of Porter she continued l:
 "He came into my room and said, Mrs. Kibby you know l ink too m ucb Of you.' I tod him he should not talk that way es I should be a good woman on account of my husbands love It Tor nn O. her reasop.

 "When he had released me I re- preached him. But he sad no one need ever know and when l asked hm how long be would keep silent in the matter he replied, For eternity"
 The prosecution this morning called the remainder of the witnesses consId cred necessary to prove the killing and read part of the dying decl ration. The mos important part was withheld and an effort will be made to submit if in re- buttal to the evidence of Ms. Kibby. It looks as if the counsel for the defense intend to offset its weigst if allowed by Mrs Kibby'> testimony that Porter prom ed solemly to keep silent for etsr- nity, and 10 set up a motion of insanity by which only can the defendant hope for complete acquittsL.
