having charge OF the matter reported
bill during the late session looking to
such surveys in the arid lands as will
enable congress to make appropriations
for the reclamation of these lands. 1t is
a national question, and the nation
should protect the settler until the lat
ter is settled on his land and the owner
of his water rights. The proposed plan
of turning the land over to the states is
mpracticAble, and is the beginning of
system Of landiordism that | hope never
to ses in America. The government can
reclaim these lands with money bor-
rowed at 5 per cent. The expense

obtain it OF all - would be
double that rate, and as the cost OF

in the price at which land ia sold to the
settler, the duty of the nation becomes
obvious. 1t is said congress will not ap-
propriate the money. l am satisfied
congress will make the appropriations,
beginning cautiously; and further, from
actual investigation, [ am eatisted that
there would be more opposition De.
veloped to transfer of the lands than
to the irrigation appropriations. The
east is beginning to realize that it can
not allow the system of jobbery that
would inevitably follow universal
transfer OF lands to take place, and it
also realizes that the work of develop
men. must be commenced. Then inter-
state questions are involved, such as
storage in Colorado and Wyoming for
Kansas and Nebraska; such questions
the national government alone can dis
pose OF. The convention may be of great
service if it represents the real wishes
OF the farmers of the arid regions and
the best interests of all the people,"

TIE MODEL LITTER WRITER.

II ever man of presumable intelli-
gence had a letter-writing mania, that
man is Grover Cleveland. His letters
on the tariff to members OF congress
while the senate amendments were
pending in committee OF conterencs-a
clear violation OF the constitution, by
the way-show his itching for notori-
ETY. in this respect.
Had Andrew Johnson attempted 90
fiagrant an interference with the legis-
lative branch of the government as
Cleveland's two letters to Congressman
Wilson and Catchings. nothing could
have saved him from removal after his
impeachment. His devoted friends,
Fessenden and Trumbull, who stood
manfully in the breach and trsmpled
down the absurd preiudicss growing
out of cruel and frstrioidsl war. would
have found his conduct beyond the pos
sibility of a defense aud abandoned
him to his fate accordingly. But the
president presumes upon the largo ma
jlrity received by him at the election OF
1892 and reckons that the country will
stand by him in any emergency.
In his attempted defense of his action
in allowing the tariff bill to become a
law without his signature, the president
has exhibited eingular degree OF in
gratitude toward the great and faithful
party which elevated him from the Office
OF sheriff to the chief magistracy of the
nation. He should have had sufficient
sagsoity to realize that a law which cut
off one-half the tariff iniquities would
lead up to the reformation of the other
half at some future session of congress,
and affixed his approval accordingly.
But Mr.. Cleveland q father was preach
er instead OF baker, and that is why
he did not realizs that "half loaf is
better than no bread"
As it is, while writing undoubt edly as
q partisan and not az a president, he
has given the Republicans whip by
which they can lash the Democracy
from the Potomac to the Willamette.
They will say that the Democratic party,
having the president and both houses OF
congress under its own control, passed
a revenue bill go utterly wanting in
merit that Democratic president WAS
ashamed to sign it-and who can sue.
cessfully contradict them?
The Democratic party, through the
fundamentally OF its ready letter
writer. the president. has been placed
already upon the defensive, and will
continue so throughous the campaign.
II he had designed to allow the bill to
become a law, wherefore the Withholding
of his signature? The better-minded
and more intelligent men in his own
party would have had more lasting re-
gard for Mr.. Cleveland had he signed
the bill and expressed himself in regard
to its several defects afterward, instead
OF leaving the party that lifted him from
darkness and poverty up to light and
power to explain that letting it become
law without signature was as good
as signing it at once. Our model letter
writer has again blundered.

MUST THE HOUSE OF LORDS Goa

A macs meeting was held less than a
week ago within twelve miles of London
to obtain an expression Of public senti-
ment toward abolition of hereditary
government in England by dispensing
with the house of lords. To say that
the affirmative of the proposition re-
ceived very large majority vote is put
ting it quite mildly. The meeting WAS
called for that identical purpose.
At the same time, just how the house
of lords is to be made to ''go" Is not al
together clear to the eye of the superb
cial and unprejudiced observer. It's ex.
istence dates back for centuries untold,
when earldoms were gained by sheer
fighting quality. and it is part and par
eel OF the law of the land. We all
know that, in our own country, with
government less than 120 years old,
strong opposition is organized against
the proposition to elect our United
States senators by the popular vote, in.
stead of having them chosen by the leg
islatures of the several states. Judge,
then, what must be the horror OF the
average Briton-the most conservative
of animals under any and all circum-
stsnces-at having a vote of the people,
contemplating the abolishment of an
institution founded centuries before
"the world-seeking Genoese was born"
Moreover there is commercial as we'll
rs political side to this question. The
mighty Corsican defined the English
people as "a race of shopksepsrs, in
which he was not far out OF the way.
The love of titled patronage is not only
visible everywhere in England, but it
also extends to her antipodean depend
encies. The American traveller natur-
ally expects it in "the mother country"
but it pals upon his senses when he
walks up George street in Sydney or
Collins street in Melbourne and reads
signs like "Tailor to Lord Carrington,"
''Shirtmaker to the Marquis of Nor
mandy" "Bootmaker to Sir Hercules
Robinson" or "Hatter to Sir Henry
Loch." With such things interviewer
in commercial systems, it is not difficult
to see why large number of the trades
people should side with the so-called
nobility in proposition to throw over
board one-half of the legislative arm of
that government. Gilbert and Sulli-
vans opera of Iolanthe is the cleverest
satire upon the house Of lords that was
ever written. In one portion of it the
earl OF Mount Ararat sings:
"when Wellington thrashed Bonaparte.
As every child can tell,
The house of lords throughout the war
Did nothing in particular,
And did il very WELL"
In another part OF that opera, the
same courtly old peer, speaking to the
queen Of the fairies about her placing
her protege. Strephon, in the house of
lords, says:
"Oh, its all very we'll in the present
case. but please don't do it again. For
If you presist in sending men OF ability
and intelligence to the house OF peers,
what earthly use will there be for
house OF commons ?p

Tolloler and Lord Mount Ararat are in
