GEN. CoxEY seems to be a versatile
sort OF an individual. His role seems
to range from that of agitstor TO horse
trader. 1t may safely be assumed that
1t requires great deal more ability to
bring a man out successfully in horse
trade than lie needed in getting off the
windy suspiration OF forced breath
which is the stock in trade of the ordi-
nary political reformer.

The Arid Lands Of the West.

One OF tho things accomplished by the
Irrigation Congress. which met Mt Los Au-
geles. was the setting forth Of its views
In an address to the people OF the United
States. Tho proceedings OF the Congress
showed that n great difference OF opinion
existed among its members In regard to
what should 10 done with the arid public
lands. and especially in regard to the propo-
sition to cede them TO the States and Terri
tories in which they are situated. As a
result. the Executive Committee OF the
Congress was asked to appoint Commits
sioners from each State and Territory In
the arid bolt. who should report at some
future meeting Of the Congress what the
irrigation policy of the country ought to be.
Pending these investigations, the Congress
in its address assumed that the desirable
public domain In regions where the rain
fall is sufficient TO support agriculture. has
been very nearly disposed OIL West OF the
ninety-seventh meridian. however, there
are tracts arid or semi-arid aggregating.
according to the General Land Office per-
haps 542.OOO.OOO acres; and the question
arises what. II anything. can he done
with these. great part OF this area can
never be cultivated. although some OF it
may have value for cattle ranges or forest
reservations. Experience shows. however.
that many arid tracts favorably situated for
irrigation from water courses can be profit
ably reclaimed. ana the question is now as
TO how far and in what way this policy can
be iudiciously carried out.
The existing laws on this subject are be-
lieved to be inadequate. The Desert Land
law. according to the Los Angeles Congress.
has become mainly an instrument OF cor
porations that do not conform to its
original aim ana purpose, A funda-
mental principle is declared 10 be that
streams rising in one state and flowing. by
natural courses, through another must be
conserved and equitably divided under
Federal authority" and that water in nat
ural channels and beds may. like private
land. be taken for public uses under the
right OF eminent domain. But with these
relances for complete public control OF
the irrigation problem assured. the ques-
tion how 20 put them in operation is admit
ted by the Congress To be a difficult one.
Among the steps which il suggested as re-
curing legislation are tn ascertain and
deilne the drainage areas Of tho Interstate
streams; to reserve from sale or permanent
disposal all pastoral lands within those
areas. leasing them, however. for cattle
ranges, and using the proceeds for develop
ing water supply. so that they may ulti-
mately be used for stock farms and homes;
the limitation OF the land that may be taken
up by settlers under irrigation systems to
forty acres.
1t seems plain from the very statement OF
these preliminary steps that the wisest and
best method of solving the whole problem
Is for Congress te cede the arid public lands
to the several States and Territories within
which they are situated. Take. for ex-
ample. the proposed leasing OF pastoral

coded tho 9th Of December? II was
during those weeks that the apprehension
existed. which Mr. DOLE depicted in his now
famous letter. demanding Of Mr.. WILLIS
whether he was or was not authorized TO

Is there Of alphabetically accusing them Of
criminallty, provided they shall hereafter
express fear OF using force, now that the
tardy announcement from Mr.. CLEVELAND
has come? Tho offence moro pertinent to
consider Is that which had plunged tho
community into this state of terror.
There Is one other point In Admiral IR-
WINS despatch that deserves mention:
"Ths commanding officers Of the Japanese cruiser
Nsniws Kan and the British cruiser Champion called on
me to arrange for landing force 10 protect the lives

He complains. In his last despatch to
Secretary HERBERT. that they assume that
he intends ito use force TO restore the
Queen" and yet also quote him as saying
that he and his men would obey no order
which they considered to be unlawful. He
says that Mr.. WILLIS has openly declared
that "wo would land solely for the purpose
Of suppressing riot, and 10 protect the lives
and property OF the defenceless. We're IL
not" he adds. for the course OF the news
papers in their endeavOr to influence public
opinion in the United States, no uneaslness
would be felt"
Probably Admiral IRWIN will make no
mistake II he lets the Hawaiian newspapers
alone aud refrains from expressing in his

Tho Needs OF the New York Post OTce.

We should like 10 hear that n fitting
answer had been given to the. persistent
solicitation OF Postmaster DAYTON for
means to secure the be.terment OF the
postal service Of New York. For Years no
provision has been made to meet the
enormous enlargement in the business OF
the Post Office here; and both the work
OF local delivery and that OF forwarding
the outgoing mails, domestic and foreign.
have been INSTRUCTED in consequence, to the
discomfort OF letter writers. to the loss OF
the business community. and to the dsad-
vantage Of the periodical press. Postmas-
ter DAYTON has repeatedly complained to
the Post Office Department since he took
Office last year. he has submitted to that
department practical plans for the imme-
date Improvement OF tho service. and
he has personally urged Postmaster
General WILSON S. BIssELb to furnish
him with the facilities imperatively re-
quired. which would not DO costly. Mr..
BIssELL knows the facts, both from official
sources and from commercial bodies which
have sent addresses to him. But his policy
has been that OF negligence AMI delay.
most unfortunate policy in case Of this
kind. At last he has appointed a Commits
sion to examine the subject and mako n
report upon it.
This is the first point gained by Mr..
DAYTON. IL 1t be n point. The Commits
sioners ought to be able to get through
with their business in the week after their
appointment. and to send their report to
Washington by the first mail that leaves
here after the business Is finished. They
can procure all the facts in day they can
make up their minds about Mr.. DAYToS's
suggestions in an hour; and they can con-
slider all objections to them In another hour.
The Postmaster-Genera can read their
report In forenoon. and can render his de-
cision upon 1t. with the aid OF his first.
second. and third assistants. and OF Secre-
tary CARLISLE, very soon after he has
reached the end Oft.
There is no obscurity In the case: there is
no uncertainty as TO the circumstances OF
IT. there can be no doubt as TO the nature OF
the judgment that ought to be formed upon
it by the functionary in Washington.
1t Is not for the benefit OF New York only
that this matter should be attended to with
out further delay. Our Post Office Is the
central Office for the postal service OF the
whole country; and tho interests OF Texas.
Oregon. and Kansas, as well us Of Virginia.
Vermont. Michigan. and all the other States
of the Union are affected every day OF the
year by the way In which its business is
transacted.
