The irrigation convention will meet at
IL o'clock this morning at the Board Of
Trede rooms. 1t should be- attended,
not only by delegates, but by citizens OF
Helena, legislators and out Of town Wis
itors interested in irrigation. By free
discussion Of this subject a proper UNI
derstanding of the situation can be
reached and plans formed for obtaining
assistance from the state government.
A bill for this purpose has already been
introduced in the legislature. 1t will
come up before to-day's convention for
criticism and suggestion and all present
are requested to take part in
the discussion. 1t is expected
that the weak points will be
strengthened and omissions remedied, so
that when the deliberations of the con-
~vention are finished the result will be
a measure satisfactory in all respects.
1t is earnestly hoped that members of
the legislature will give rs much time as
is possible to this matter before 1t comes
before them for their action. Valuable
time will thus be saved and much an
noyance avoided.
We believe the Importance of this ir-
rigation question to be fully appre-
ciated; that all citizens understand the
meaning of a satisfactory solution.

THE COUNTRY Is ALL RIGHT.

Our pessimistio contemporary, the
Portland Oregonian, processes much
alarm over conditions, the authorship
of which is credited to the democratic
party. In its restless sleep the Orego-
MAN secs visions of American socialism,
growing dissatisfaction among the
masses over the distribution of wealth,
war against plutocrats and many other
kindred signs of disturbance. The dem
ocratic party is charged with the crea-
ton of this evil by preaching SO called
fallaclous doctrines designed to assist
in securing party victory at the cost of
the republic.
1t is needless to say that the Orego-
mans picture of distress is a very cheap
work. 1t is true that the election of
Grover Cleveland was brought about by
a great u%pheaval among the masses of
voters. They swung to his standard
from New York to California, from Wis
consin to the gulf, and where the repub-
lican party was thought to be the best
entrenched came the most sweeping
changes. 1t is nonsense to say that it
resulted from false democratic appeals
to the ignorant or venal voters Of the
country. 1T was not a soclalistic wave;
it was an outspoken determination of
the people to rid themselves of a false
and dangerous system of taxation, and
their decision was reached only after
long and careful study Of conditions. 1t
marked an epoch in the history of eco
nomic legislation and the socialistio
vampire had no more to do with the re-
suits than an African king.
There need be no fear that the demo
cratic party in power will not carry out
it's pledges to the people. The very ex-
istence Of the party depends on its full
tillment of all promises, and when this
is done, we believe that the faith Of the
people will be rewarded. In any event,
it would be better for the Oregonian and
! all other republican newspapers to with
hold all alarming utterances until the
ey pertinent has been tried and the re-
suits fully ascertained.

The casa was reported to tho coroner by
Frank Kelly, who lives about two miles
