TIE irrigation convention which met,
or was to have met, in Denver yesterday
has q nice little fight on it's hands in
reference to the arid lands of the several
western states. The delegates from Me-
vads, Kansas and Idaho favor tho ces.
sion Of these lands to the states by the
federal government, and the money de-
rived from their sale to be devoted to
educational purposes. Colorado, Wy
oming and Montana are understood to
be against the proposition, while the
delegates from California and Arizona
are about evenly divided in the premises.
The fight started out last year, at the ir-
rigation congress held in this city in Oc-
tober, and it goes without saying that
the gap has been widening ever since,
with but little chance of compromise.

habits are in execrable taste, to cay the
leaet, for Cleveland 10 no drunksrd. II
he had prayed to the good Lord to
give Cleveland change OF heart. 80
that he might learn to mind his own
bloomin' business. and not be interfer-
ing with the prerogatives Of congress.
as he has been doing-such q prayer
would have the merit OF hard horse
sense. even ii it produced no effect on
the pschydermatous cutiole of the ma
tional perversity. But as nobody has
ever seen the president in a condition
OF crapulsnce since he emerged from
private lie into the MONDAY glare of
magisterial power, any reference from
the pulpit to his personal habits can
only be regarded as being offensive, to
the verge OF indecency.

PoPPRR, BUCKLEY AND KRLLY.

That was novel and refreshing read
ing which we gave yesterday consisting
of an interview with Max Pepper about
the charges brought against him by
Andy Clunie, brother of Thomas j.,
ex-member of congress. We say novel
and refreshing, because as a general
thing the secrets of boodling by political
tricksters rarely come to the public in
the shape of free and ohf-hand confess-
ion of the pertdy by the party in inter
est. Yet here we have the open admis-
sion OF Pepper that he and Buckley and
Kelly were partners in public contracts,
and that they paid, through their Kelly.
$3.50 month to another sweet combina-
tion-Crimmins & Kelly-to fix the
boa I'd of supervisors 80 that their con-
tract for sweeping the streets should not
be interfered with.
1t will be remarked that Pepper. the
chairman of the Democratic state CEN
tral committee, who has poeed before
the people as reformer and retrencher
OF public expenditures, gives this infor-
nation to the reporter as If it were
merely the recital of an ordinary buoi-
nsss transaction and not Of an act sat-
urated with the worst elements OF fel-
ony. We ere not much concerned
whether the Democratic state central
committee kick Pepper out OF their cir
Gle or not; but we are concerned in the
public prosecution OF Pepper and all the
parties i'm plicated, and the landing OF
them in San Quentin, where they prop
erly belong.
Joseph p. Kelly, one OF the delectable Q
partnership trio. is the Democratic NOM
inee for congress from the Fifth district
Whether his connection with this nefa-
rious transaction diminishes his chances
for election or not is question in these
days OF political pollution. But II the
party in that district is not as lost to the
moral instinct as Pepper. it will hasten
to take his name off the ticket, and dc

ties this year it will not be a matter of

| SAILORS TERRIBLE FALL,
Using His Sea Legs ON Land
May Result Fatally.
How N. Rokka Walked Off a Santa
Monica Bluff.
He Was Found Upon the Rocks,
Crushed and Biesdiag, After
Having Fallen Seventy
three Feet.

A Russian named NJ. Rokka lie lying
at deaths door at the receiving hospi.
tai. His skull is crushed. his arm
broken and his body horribly mutilated.
He has been wholly unconscious since
early yesterday morning, when he fell
from the top OF bank at Santa Monica,
near the big wharf. He fell distance
OF 70 feet by exact measurement, and it
is a wonder that every bone in his body
was not broken.
Rokka was q sailor on the Southern
Pacific steam collier San Msteo, Cap
tain Fletcher, plying between Victoria
and Port Los Angeles. He shipped from
the latter port on the vessel two weeks
ago, and mado the return trip just the
other day.
Sunday afternoon Rokka left the vss-
sci without permission OF the officers.
about s O'Clock yesterday morning he
was found unconscious, crushed and
bleeding upon the rocks at the foot OF
perpendicular bank. 1t is supposed
that be had been drinking, and in at
tempting to find his sy aboard the San
Mateo at night met with the terrible
accident. The bluff all along the vicinity
OF the warf is unusually high and danger
Gus, and it was at the highest point
whore the poor sailor met his fate. His
hat was found some distance back upon
the bluff, indicating that q struggle
might have ensued before he fell below.
but there was no further signs OF foul
play.
The sailor was picked up for dead. and
Captain Fletcher notified. He was later
placed on the Southern Pacific train
and brought to this city at II O'Clock.
and the railway ambulance conveyed
him to the receiving hos spital.
DR.. F. X. Ainsworth and Police Sur
geon Bryant did all they could to relieve
the unfortunate man, but they soon
gave up hopes of ever saving his life.
The frontal bono was found to have been
fractured very badly, enough in itself to
cause death.
Little is known OF Rokka. except that
he was an old sailor and had resided at
Santa Monica for some time.
At q late hour last night he was still
alive, though he had not regained con-
ecioueness

what it can to have him railroadsd to

what it can to have him rsilroadsd to
the penitentiary.
Then again Crimmins and the other
Kelly should be looked after, and il they
cannot show that the blackmail money
was not paid over to them. they should
also be placed on the road to wear striped
garments. And if, on the other hand.
they received the bribe money and used
it as Pepper. Buckley and Kelly intend
ed 1t should be used, the guilty super
visors should be smoked out and made
to take their place with the rest in the
locked-step march.
No wonder that these political bosses
get rich. Chris Buckley, from bar
keeper, has become g man OF wealth;
so, too, we believe, are Crimmins and
Kelly, who have bossed Republican
politics in San Francisco ever since the
death of Bill Higgins. Pepper, it is
also said, has piled up comfortable
sum. Bill Higgins, we believe. is the
only boss who failed to amass fortune.
He was an exception to the rule. He
loved power better than money, and
although engaged in an unprincipled
vocation, he WAS not without sturdy
principles Of good faith with those that
served him and those whom he elevated
to position.
San Francisco has now q chance to
throw bombshell into the ranks of the
political manipulstors who have for
years fattened themselves upon her SUBJ
stance. and to bring them to grief. She
has the opportunity of teaching the
whole putrid gang a lesson that may
help to purify politics not only in the
metropolis but in other suffering COM
munities.

about "the oldest lawyer in America, 4"

bic example of this sort is that Of AL
