The subject of irrigation is agitating
the minds of western people again.
There are millions of acres in the west,
of the very best land, that merely needs
a little more moisture to make it grow
immense crops of anything adapted to
the climate. No portion of the west
can be nor easily or cheaply placed
under irrigation than the land in Fall
River county. All that is neededisthe
method for storing the water, and the
funds appropriated for the work. Diff
ferent bills have been presented to
congress, and we believe a compromise
effected whereby the Black Hills would
have a very liberal appropriation for
getting the matter started, but this do
nothing democratic congress seems to
prefer to utilized what funds they can
get hold of in keeping congress in ses.
sion the year round.
Several counties in the northern por.
ton of Nebraska are arranging toissue
bonds for the purpose of putting in an
immense irrigating ditch, and will ask
the state to sanction their and
guarantee the bonds, with the hope
that the government will later dc
something. They propose to irrigate

II anyone has not been thoroughly
convinced that the democratic admin
~istration has had most to do with the
constantly decreasing business of the
country, causing innumerable failures
i'll business circles, he should observe
the causes which the principal loosers
by such c~atastrophes generally attrib-
ute their failure to. Take the failure
of the Warren Live Stock Co, of Chey-
enne. for instance. Ex-senator War
rem attributes the cause of their failure,
involving over 100000, to the free wool
schedule, the financial stringency and
the labor troubles. Up to and includ-
ing 1892, the company had on it's range
10000 sheep, which brough s3 a head
at that time, while a recent shipment
Melted only % cents q head over the
cost of shipment and sale.

Democrats continue to climb over to
republicanism. The Ft. Pierre Fair
Play is of the latest to mako the
announcement of a change. After
showing up what. democracy has failed
to do the Fair Play says: "In contem-
plation of the utter incompetency of
the democratic party to accomplish
anything except the hauling down of
flags, the placing of wool on the free
list and a tax on sugar and a repudia-
ton of the debt owed by the nation to
the soldiers of the late war, the Fair
Play thinks there ought to be a rem
edy, and that remedy should and will
come through the republican party,
which is and always has been the party
of progress"

Those workingmen who remained
out at the bidding of the A. r. U. until
that order informed them that the
strike was "off," have discovered that
there were a good many men standing
ready to take their place, and they
therefore can't get their old positions.
1t is too bad that these fellows have
been SO duped, but the idea of their
waiting for weeks after the strike had
really ended for the chief of their
order to make the declaration is so
ridiculously foolish that they may be
deserving of the lesson they are get
ting. When they permit another Debs
to tell them when to work or when not
to work, they will probably do a little
more thinking about it than they did
this time.

LITERARY NOTES.

CITIzENsHIP-A book for classes in gov
eminent and and law; by Julius II.
Seelye, d. D., LII. D., late president
of Amherst College.
This little book lays down, in the
first place, the general foundation
of all government, and then sets forth
the general principles of both interna-
tional snd national law, under national
law especially combining itself to the
public and private law of the United
States of America. The discussion is
throughout very compact but at the
same time clear and comprehensive.
One who studies it is both informed as
to his rights and duties as a citizen.
and instructed in their very ground
work, being made to see that govern
ment is not simply a continuance of
human thought but a profound neces-
sity of human life, and as such a boon
and not a burden. The author has
not deemed the profoundest considera-
tions out of place in an elementary
textbook. The light of universal
principles shines through the book SO
clearly that it is not beyond a child's
apprehension, and yet with results so
wide-reaching as to interest students
much more mature. In the hands of
"a competent teacher it will be found
equally suggestive and valuable for a
class in the common school or in col
lege.

The state convention is only a little
less than three weeks distant, and
from the manner in which various
counties in the eastern part of the state
have been instructing for Lucas there
can not now be much doubt but that
he Will be renominated easily. With
the 81 votes of the Hills solid and a
couple of hundred votes east of the
river instructed for him he is assured
of pretty smooth sailing.

ON THE SILVER ISSUE.

Ex-President Harrison has usually
been sound in expressing his views
upon most questions. A few weeks
ago, after his western trip, he made the
following pertinent remarks relative to
the silver question:
1.-THE republican party is friendly to
a restitution of silver to a place of
honor among the money metals of the
world. Some of my friends in the west
thought I was uttering new doctrines
when I declared that I believed the
free use of silver upon an international
agreement that would assure it's on
tinued equality with gold would do
more than anything I knew of, save the
establishment of the protection prin-
ciple, to bring again prosperity into
our commerce. The trouble upon this
question has been that some of our
western friends would not receive any
man as the friend of silver who be-
lieved that we could not coin it freely
and maintain its parity with gold by
coming into an arrangement with the
other great commercial nations of the
world. They should have been more
liberal. 1 believe today that we can
see in England the nation that has
stood most strongly against the larger
use of silver and in Germany, a nation
that has followed England, the clear
indications of the growing of a senti-
ment for international agreement upon
this question. It is increasing in
power, and I believe if rightly and
wisely encouraged and directed from
America, it will finally bring other ma
tions, by the compulsion of their own
necessities, into accord with us upon
this subject"

Cleveland and his advisers are
again wondering what they are going
to do to keep up running expenses.
For over a year the expenses have
largely exceeded the receipts, and even
during the last month with increased
receipts from whisky tax there was not
enough to keep up expenses. The au-
thorities therefore fear that another
bond issue may have to be made to
keep up the reserve. But notwith-
standing the glaring fact that the gov
eminent is not paying its own way
under the democratic rule, the demo
cratic congress continues to do nothing
but keep up the expenses.

TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.

1t is interesting to note the strong
reaction that has been loading the en-
igrant ships with. strange companies
of people who have failed to gain an
industrial footing in America and are
returning to central and eastern Eu-
rope. It would be good policy to aid
this turn Of the tide by every legiti-
mate means. Fortunately the east
hound emigrant rates this season are
extremely low. We have been COM
PEELED to support hundreds of thous-
ands of these people by charity during
the past winter, and the cheapest as
we'll as the wisest form of expenditure
in their behalf would be to buy their
return tickets and send them back
where they belong. This temporary
reversal of the current of migration
affords the natural and safe opportu-
nifty for congress to enact a law Sc
verely restricting immigration for a
period of years. 1t would be the most
popular law ever placed on our statute
books since the foundation of the
American republic. It could be en-
acted just now with a minimum of
hardship to any interest. When the
times improve and the European sur
plus begins once more to seek less
crowded quarters, the sign of mo more
vacant seats" on the American omni-
bus would simply give Australia, South
Africa and South America the better
chance to advertise their comparative
emptiness and their great resources
and attractions. All the most deplora-
bic and most dangerous features of the
recent labor troubles, whether those
of the bituminous coal strikers or
those of the riots accompanying the
railway strikes, were clearly due to the
fact of a vast over-supply of recently
imported and not yet assimilated
working population from the non-Eng-
fish speaking countries of central and
eastern Europe. The restriction of
immigration should have been accom-
plished ten years ago. 1t is no longer
a delicate question open to argument,
but an imperative duty demanding
prompt action.-From "The Progress
of the World" August Review of Re-
views.

ground to work for him, and being fa-

The senate is no more inclined to
change front on its position upon the
tariff bill than it was the day after
Cleveland's letter was given to the pub

democratic members are still equally
firm in their position, to demand the
passage of their original bill. This
democratic wrangle is costing the gov
eminent enough to adopt some of the
experimental irrigation schemes in the

The chief topic of editorial discus

August is the recent railroad strike.
The motives of. the dispute are candidly
considered, and the conclusion is
reached that the leaders of the Ameri-

harm to the cause of organized labor,
besides inflicting untold injury ON an
innocent public. At the same time the
opinion is advanced that arbitration
would have been greatly to the advan-
tage, as we'll as credit, of the Pullman
