THE NEED OF IRRIG ALTON.

Why should we always talk of irriga-
tion in the western part of Kansas?"
Why not irrigate in the eastern part of
Kansas" Ii irrigation in the Kaw valley
will treble and quadruple the crops as
many claim it Will, why not erect dams
all along the river and irrigate on big
scale. There are times nearly every year
in this valley that if irrigation bitches
could be opened on the corn, wheat and
potato fields, $5,000,C00 would be added to
the value Of the crops. That ought to pay
the cost of the biggest kind of irrigation
works.-Topeka Journal.
The Journal catches the vital point
and states it tersely. The need OF irri-
cation in any part of the state is to sup
plement the natural precipitation, which
is periodically short in all sections at the
season when most needed. Eastern Kan
sas, nor central nor western, require
irrigation absolutely TO produce crops
every season, as the rainfall is sufficient
most seasons to prompt good yields and
frequently phenomenal ones. In brief,
irrigation is wanted to insure us against
the occasional short crops and less fre-
quent failures. That it will 90 this there
is no sort of doubt.

MONEY, SUGAR AND ROYALTY.

Minister Thurston is gentleman, all
Gresham's discourteous actions to the
contrary notwithstanding. He is a
diplomatic officer to whom is due the
sentative of any other government.
That he sat down on President Cleveland
and Secretary Gresham is entirely their
own fault. Both should have known
that the lies of their tool Biount would
be exposed. In all the Hawaiian
trouble Gresham has not only ignored
the duly accredited minister, but Mr..
Willis mission was. What would
be thought OF Mr. Cleveland should
he declare war with Canada over
the sealing question without SO much as
limiting to Britains minister, Sir Julian
Paunceforte, that there was trouble.
Thurston not only made the fur fly, but
took off large patches of skin, and the
administration is, Of course, very sore.
Blount was but hired tool, retained to
do Il dirty job for which he got his pay
more of a tool than Van Allen, who paid
for his chance to make Rome howl, and
Cleveland realizes that the American
people know all, and even more about
the dirty scrape than they could wish.
1t is announced that all the worst things
being said about him in the newspapers
are being kept from Mr.. Cleveland, but
the best Will not fail Of worrying him,
and, it is to be hoped, into real
ization that the people of the United
States will stand no shystering in high
places.
Blount in his report made it clear
that he did not care for the testi-
mony of such men as the chief justice of
Hawaii nor that of President Dole and
Minister Thurston. But the American
people do, all the same. That Bohemian
man, Nordorff, and that sugar
pirate, Claus Spreckles, one the paid tool
of the other, were the only men whose
words Blount estimated as being worth
if we except the Engiishman
Davies, whose son is to marry Kaiulania,
the heir apparent, who it is certain went
back to Europe last spring with assur-
ances from both Cleveland and Gresham
that the American flag should come
down. In short, the whole question has
resolved itself into one of money, sugar
and royalty on the one hand, and the |
rights of a people, the American flag and
the interests of the United States upon |
the other, with Mr.. Cleveland on the |
mopey, sugar and royalty side.

THE STATE IRRIGATION CONVENTION

From the Atchison Champion.
The irrigation convention at Wichita
was a success in every particular. The
fact that every gentleman whose name
appeared OH the program was present, is
sufficient proof of the declaration that
the convention was a success. There
were some able men thore-as able as
there are in this country. Their papers
will he compiled and distributed
throughout the state. Every farmer
and land owner should secure one, and
then keep track of the further recon-
mendations of the practical and
theoretical irrigators for, after all is
said and done, the land owner himself
must put irrigation into practice. While
each speaker thought the government
should and would do something in the
line OF assisting in demonstrations OF
water supply and methods of bringing
it TO the surfrce, still they urged the fact
that must impress every citizen that he
himself must do the practical work.
The suggestions of the speakers, their
hints aud experiences and observations
as compiled viii be of great help to those
who are proposing to experiment.
The general attendance indicated the
interest being taken in the subject of
irrigation. Many farmers and land own
ers throughout the state were present,
while there were those present from
Boston, Chicago and other points as rep
sentatives of landed and financial insti-
tutions. The question Is no longer
'Shall we irrigate:' il is "What is the
practical method?" 1t is not advocated
that it shall be done under one great
system, but by individual land owners,
sngly or otherwise as may prove the
most economical and efficient. 1t is not
believed practical for farmer to at
tempt the irrigation of section, but
every farmer Can irigate from five 70
twenty or forty acres. 1t was generally
believed that this was the first best thing
to attempt. The big land owners pres
ent agreed that this method would be
the winning one.
There was considerable clash of opin-
ion upon various matters incidental to
practical irrigation, but of the friend
lest character. Views were expressed
opposed to each other. but
men-thinking, observing, experiment.
ing men-were there to add that which
would be of benefit and not to caiole,
deceive or distract. 1t is a great subject
and irrigation will some day be of in
estimabIe value to the semi-arid belt. 1t
is good wherever it can be operated,
whether here or to the east or'west of
us. The work of agitation is Oh, the
time of practical experiment is at hand.
IJ will be accomplished some way.
Much has been done, but vastly more is
TO be done.

The Wichita Convention.

From the Sslina Republican.
The irrigation convention held in
Wichita on Wednesday and Thursday of
last week, was one of the most success
full irrigation conventions that has ever
been held in the United States. The at
tendance was large and representative;
every interest In the state OF Kansas was
represented at this convention. The
papers read were of high order, and
great deal Of information was thrown
upon the various features of the irriga-
tIon problem. The discussions We're IN
teusely interesting and instructive, and
great good will result from this conven-
tion. Wichita was an excel
lent place to hold the convention. Her
citizens took great interest in the sub
ject, and the delegates were highly
pleased with their treatment while in the

STATEHOOD FOR OKLAHOMA.

There will assemble in Kingfsher, o.
T., today the largest number of repre-
sentative citizens of the Indian territory,
including the u:lorganized portions as
| well as the organized portion known as
Oklahoma, that have ever met in con-
vention in the territory for any purpose.
The interest the people are manifesting
in this matter is all that is needed, if,
| indeed, evidence on that point were re.
quired, to show the importance they at
tach to being placed upon their own
resources as to local self government
the management and control of their
own affairs.
That The neutrality-suspicious..
wealth, resources-are ample for the
erection Of an Independent and prosper
Gus state is not doubted, and that the
social, moral, intellectual and material
advancement of the community will be
immeasurably enhanced thereby is not a
debatabie question and will not require
any effort On the part Of the convention
to establish. The one great duty the
body will find before it, and to perform.
will be to voice the strong de-
sire of the people for the full
privileges of citizenship with the
people of the state, and Willingness to
assume their share of the responsibilities
and burdens.
1t is no fattery to Oklahoma nor re-
Election upon any other territory or state,
to say that the youngest is the best
equipped and qualified for statehood of
any that has sought admission to tie
union. This is largely due to the for.
tuitous circumstances that have sur
rounded the territory from the begin
ming OF. its organized existence as such;
but this fact does not modify the inner
ent merits it possesses; it is simply the
presence Of good fortune which the peo-
pie have been prompt to avail themselves
of and employ as advantageous auxiliary
to substantial progress.
The high character of the men who
will compose the convention, and their
earnestness and unity of purpose cannot
fail to impress upon congress the i'm
portance Of erecting Oklahoma as SOW
ereign state, and its early admission
in.o the great family of commonwealths.
