Piled "Gcntlemen, the troops OF the Boston

or not.'' The reason for this reply and the
sub.equcnt landing of the troops Is manifest.
The troops were landed to protect American
citizens and property In the event OF the i'm

queen and citizens, and not to cooperate with
the committee, and the committee had no

Investigation of the conditions existinf IN

The results OF the Investigations Of these

rights Of both labor and capital.
STATE LEGISLATION.
We endorse the principle Of the district ir-
tigation law of California, commonly known
AS the Wright Law Ma Wise step In the
direction OF the public ownership OF irrigation
works While we do not assert that 10 Is
suited to the needs Of unsettled localities. or
that 1t cannot be improved in some OF ita
minor details, we do declare that experience
has demonstrated its usefulness, ifs fairness
aud Its economy, and VIZ recommend that II
be adopted by all states, where private irriga-
ton works, covering land not a part OF tho
public domain may exist
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS.
The presence In this congress OF the repre-
sentative OF the neighboring Republic of
Mexico, which We gratefully acknowledge,
reminds us that international questions may
sometime arise In relation TO irrigation. and
we now declare that whenever this occurs we
will favor their settlement on terms that
shall lie Just and equitable to all nations con-
cerned.
THE QUESTION or THE FUTURE.
To deal with the arid public domain is one
of the mighty tasks of the future. 1t means
not only the conquest OF a new agricultural
empire and n tremendous contribution to the
national wealth OF the future, but IL involves
the development OF new forms OF civilization
and will give new life to popular institutions.
1t Is high and sacred trust, and in so far as
It may become the peculiar concern OF
Western men they Will be true TO Its great
obligations. But they approach the matter
in no spirit of petty sectionallsm. They In
vite the cooperation of all their country men.
East as well IS west, North as well as South.
While mining and It's kindred cmployments
are vastly important to the Western States,
directly and indirectly. the irrigation indus
try is and must ever be their supreme inter
est. Under Just laws and proper national en-
couragemcnt it will add new lustre to the
American name.

DELAWARE has been turned into
something very like a great game
preserve. A strong association,
chartered by the Legislature, has for
some years past been stocking the
wilder parts OF the little common
wealth with the finest game birds.
The concern is influential enough to
procure from time to time penal
legislation in protection of its game.
and, in spite of some protests from
local sportsmen not members of the
corporation, these laws are so strictly
enforced that tile game is constantly
increasing.

OF the boys cannot afford, but which
they imagine. foolishly enough but

that will not encroach on the space
