Mr. VIM. Willard the well know por-

When Mr. William Willard, two years

other northwestern Republican senators
will also probably do the same. while Sena-

for the tariff bill are anxious for an Oppor-

National Capital News.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Nothing bnt
presidential veto stands in the way of the
Bland bill for the coinage of the seignior-
age becoming a law, as a test vote in the
senate has shown that the bill will pass
that body by at least two-thirds vote.
The agreement in the senate is to take the
final vote Thursday of this week. The
present status of the bill is such that can
not be amended, and unless something tran
spires to bring about change of sentiment
in the senate it will be in the hands of Pre-
sideAt Cleveland before the close of the
week. Experience has taught congress, as
we'll as other people, that it is mere guess
work to attempt to say i'll advance what
Mr.. Cleveland will do with anything, so
that Notwithstanding the positive state
ment of Senator Villas, that he would veto
the bill there is considerable doubt as to
whether he will or not. Many Democrats
who are not particularly friendly to silver,
will use their influence to prevent veto,
on account of the cOngres siOnal elections
this year. No one expects him to sign the
bill. The most that is hoped for by the sill
yer men is that he may be persuaded to al
low it TO become law without his sigma
ture.
Whatever may be ones personal opinion
of the revised tariff bill there can be no
doubt about the changes made by the senate
committee, having lessened the popular
cutlery against it and given it what it did
not before possess-a good chance to pass
the senate. Pressure is already being
brought to bear upon the Republican sena-
tors to confine their opposition to legitima-
tie methods and not to resort to filibuster-
ing. The affect of this pressure is already
apparent IN the finance committe, and it is
now believed by those well informed that
an agreement will be reached under which
the bill will be reported to the senate in
side of 10 days and the debate be limited to
six or eight weeks. The bill is apparently
in more danger from the few Democrats
who are still somewhat dissatisfied than
from the Republicans.
Senator PETER says he intends to insist
upon his resolution providing for an inves-
tigation by a senate committee of the vari-
GUS charges made against senators of hav-
ing specialized In the stock of the sugar
trust while the tariff bill was being fixed
up by the Democrats of the finance COM
mittee. Senator PETER is right. The
charges should be investigated, and the
, sooner and the more thoroughly it be done
the better for the senate and the country.
If the senators be guilty they should be
driven from public life; if innocent, the
correspondents who made the charges
should be jailed for criminal libel.

He was a veritable tramp. His trousers
were spattered with mud and both they
and his coat were that nondescript color
which only long exposure to the weather
can give. The spattered hat he wore, pull
led we'll down over his eyes, concealed the
half discouraged, half defiant expression of
his face. AS he slOuched along in aimless
fashion his clumsy, broken shoes clattered
on the pavement.
Years ago he had recklessly left home
and since then had only heard news from
the old place once. That was a few days
past, when he had read of his mothers
death in the papers. He was ashamed TO go
back then, though he longed to see her face
once more.
He did not mean to be gone so long. But
he had started out to seek his fortune, and
he had found it. Only it was not good for
tune. All his worldly possessions now
consisted of a nickel, lying in the pocket of
his vest Just sufficient to buy a free
lunch,' and he was hungry enough to
spend it. He looked up as he neared the
corner searching for favorable spot to in
vest the coin.
Coming down the avenue toward him
was an old beggar woman. She hobbled
along slowly, leaning on a cane for the sup
port which her trembling limbs could not
give. Her weak eyes peered anxiously into
the faces of passersby in vain appeal for
help, and her wrinkled hand shook as she
held it out for aims. As she reached the
corner a cold wind blowing through the
street made her shiver and pull her thin
shawl more closely about her shoulders.
This motion attracted the Iranlp's atten-
ton, and as he glanced at her as she pass

VIII It RevOIutiOnize Agriculture in
Kansas.
In the matter of irrigation Kansas has all
to learn. There are theories and theories,
but knowledge will come with experience
While the experiments are being made,
however, it is we'll to gather what informa-
ton we can from those who have had eX-
perience. Soils may differ and require diff
ferent treatment; so Will the water supply,
and the process for bringing it to the sur
face will not be the same in all cases. Each
item must be taken into account, and the
experience of the man who has tried it
under similar conditions will be of greatest
value. In the Salt Lake valley there is an
abundant flow from arteSian wells, an inch
pipe, throwing a constant stream of water,
without arti fetal power, will supply as
much water, at practically no cost. as a
much larger pipe elsewhere, involving the
cost of an attendant, fuel, machinery and
wear and tear. These different conditions
will determine largely the character of
crops to be raised, as we'll as the area to be
cultivated.
1t seems to be we'll established that the
supply from the underfow in Kansas is I'M
adopt the best means for raising it to the
surface, and to choose the crop which may
be cultivated most probably. There is a
popular error that the use of water prOdu-
ees waste. This cannot be, for the reason
that every drop save what is lost by evapO-
ration goes Immediately back to the same
current, to be used by those who take it
further down stream. There are those who
believe that the small percentage taken up
by evaporation returns to the surface in
mists and rain, so that nothing is lost.
Whether this be true or not, it is certain
that there is abundant water now, and that
farming by irrigation will pay. The area
must be limited at first, but as new devices
are invented, and the process is simpliied,
it will increase. If the result in dollars
and cents is as great from few acres as
from quarter section under the old sys-
TEN, it brings equal weather, and makes
room fer greater population. In the older
portions of Europe land is the most preei-
Gus, and eagerly sought Tor of all invest
ments. 1t will BE- so here in time. though
we will not live to see it
There is incalcuIable waste in shipshod
farming everywhere. Merely scratching
the surface and raising crop of grain and
weeds impoverishes the soil more than
deep blowing and thorough culture. Tits
not acres, but bushels which yield the best
returns in cash. Irrigation promises much
il this end is kept in view, and it may ye
revolutionize the present system of farming
