Pickett's position was long ago assured
without any titles. He has an interesting
family, fine home, lucrative law prac-
tice, and the esteem and respect of all
who know him. All that he might ac-
q uire by the position would be title of

The Chieftain wishes to say in this con-
nection that every word the Enterprise
says is true. Hon. H. L. Pickett needs
no judgeship to add honors to him. 1t is
true he would have made one of the best
judges New Mexico ever had and would
have been an honor to the bench, but the
bench would add nothing to his honor

Mexico he has no peer. In this territory
he is honored and respected by all be-

like him, for he is of the material that
builds up state and makes it power

diction that when New Mexico becomes a
state Hon. H. L. Pickett will be one of
the men who will be at the fore as one of

THE EVOLUTION OF IRRIGATION,

The interview yesterday with Major
W. H. H. Llewellyn is able, timely and
interesting in its matter and argument.
1t does not, however, state the whole case.
Some arrangement for the proper distri-
button of interstate waters will sooner
or later be forced on the arid region. AS
a general proposition it is as impossible
to permanently deprive an irrigator on
the lower course of stream of water as
it is to restrict the melted snow to the
mountain SUBMITS, but the annoyances
and losses that may be temporarily en-
tailed by selfish conduct at the sources of
streams is considerable and dangerous
factor. Individual or local selfshness, if
allowed license, will Individually ruin the
general prospects of an irrigating commu-
nifty. For it will be seen that the only really
successful irrigation schemes are those
controlled by strong, sensible, com
prehensive and comprehending corpora
tions, as at Eddy, Phoenix, A. T., and Red
lands, CAL, or such colony enterprises as
Greeley, Colo, or Riverside, Cal. The
essential of success in this art is intelli-
gent cooperation. 1t must be compelled
by strong guiding hand or the mutual
agreement of the irrigators. Contentious
for water between rival communities are
always to be deprecated; and the Trans
Mississippi congress should carefully con-
slider some proposition to be presented to
the people for consideration. If these con-
ventions are any good, it is in tho line OF
interstate consideration of intermingled
interests, such as these. Let US hear from
the convention.

to the conclusion that one quarter of the
area of the plains may be reclaimed by
the development of underfow water and
the storage of the local precipitation.
Two years ago Richard j. Hinton. gave
it as his opinion, that twenty acres out of
each 100 could be actually reclaimed for
intensive forcing by phreatic water and
the storage of the surface flow IN the

the high cultivation of this area, and the
raising of fine stock on the balance,

Ing about.

There is peculiar fitness in tho naval
rondevouz at Hampton Roads. Thirty
one years ago there steamed out of the
Elizabeth river huge iron monster to
wreck and ruin the finest ships in the
American navy. She was met by the
Monitor, at the Ripraps, Fort Monroe,
and the old roadstead reverberated with
the din of the first battle of iron clads.
Tho navy was revolutionized.
1t is also a very comforting thought
that while the white squadron is the best
cruising and sea fighting fleet, and could
probably whip the foreign outfit, yet the
Miuntonomah and Monterey could COM

TWO INCIDENTS.

The Cleveland administration appears
to be run on the order of political
machine, the principal objects of which
are to overturn, as far as possible, the work
the Republicans have accomplished by
years of legislation in the Interest of the
people, for nothing else, than with view
to making cheap political clap-trap. A
notable instance is found of the truth of
this in the recent hauling down of the
American flag at Hawaii. Another is the
ruling of Secretary Carlisle on Chinese
registration. We cite these in particular
because they are matters that como close
home to western people. But the Hawaiian
incident is of Insignificant moment as
compared with the Chinese question.
The Chinese exclusion act, without the
use of photographs, becomes practically
imperative.
Here at one fell swoop, by the waving
of the official hand of Secretary Carlisle,
is swept aside feature of official practice
that the people of California and other
western states have been years in striving
for, and only have succeeded in securing
within a short time. Is it any wonder
then that the Californians, irrespective of
party politics, have sent up solemn
protest against this action? Is it any
wonder that they are equally indignant
over the shameless shifting of the stars
and stripes over their neighbor in the
Paciics These two incidents will long
stand out in political history to annoy
Mr.. Cleveland and his supporters in the
ar west.
