wells continued to multiply in every
direction until by 1865 some of them
ceased to overflow the pipes, and then
every farm had to have its windmill.
By 1870 there was not flowing we'll be-
tween Gilrcy and Alviso, q distance OF
nearly thirty miles.
And that is what will be the case in
our fair land of sun and flowers before
the close OF the century unless some
means is taken to define and regulate
methods OF irrigation by means of bored
wells. Irrigation is a good thing and a
Wholesale benefit to Southern California,
but the irrigation that wastes ten gall
Ions, or even five, where it utilizes one.
is OF little benefit. There should be
come legislation for the conservation OF
water, for the six counties south Of Te-
hachipe will be called upon to support
100000 of inhabitants; and it will not
be profitable to do this unless there is q
proper economy Of the water which is
the great cogent factor OF all our wealth.
1t is less than Is years ago that James
3. Haggin, one OF the shrewdest capital
ists OF this state, set about a scheme OF
irrigating the desert lands along Kern
river, known to the native Californians
as the Rio Bravo. At that time you
could dig down 60 feet and not get
drop of water. Mr.. Hsggin built two
large canals, with an extensive system
of laterals reaching in every direction.
In five years after these lsterals were
complete you could dig down and get
water at S5 feet; in ten years you could
get it at % feet, and now you can get it
in some places at l5 feet. By the close
OF the present century it is quite likely
that Mr.. Haggin, or his heirs and exec
utors. will be wrestling with problem
not OF irrigation, but one of drainage.
The country west OF Anaheim and Full
lerton already hes begun to indicate the
approach of a similar condition OF affairs;
and we shall soon see good lands spoiled
and turned to alkali flats by the ex-
cessive use OF water. Hence we say that
legislation in this direction is needed
and that right speedily. Water must be
used and not wasted, or our people will
find themselves confronted with an ex-
pensive problem of drainage after having
paid literally already for an expensive
system OF irrigation.

A HIGH official of the railway company
in San Francisco. the other day, in a
conversation with a newspaper man, es-
timated the losses to his company
through the present strike at s200,00 q

gerated. When to this are added the
Losses to the strikers themselves the sum
total is immense. There has been moth
ing particularly bright about the present

the long agony will undoubtedly prove

ANNIVERSARY OF FAMOUS RIOT.

It is somewhat singular that the heats
of summer are generally selected for
-iotous work. Seventeen years ago this
morning the bloody and destructive
riots at Pittaburg began. These, with
the exception oil the Macready slaughter,
were the most murderous and costly
outbreaks that ever took place in the
United States. In addition to the des-
truction OF $S. 600, 900 worth OF property,
q great many lives were lost. Probably
the exact number will never be known,
but it ran up into the hundreds. AS
the riots progressed gangs OF thieves
started in to loot the doomed city. In
places burning liquor stores could be
seen surrounded by desperate men, who
drank the fiery liquor as it burned.
Many fell into the flames, meeting
horrid death. For immense stretches
the fire devoursd everything in its way.
The mob was enraged by the fact that
troops had been dispatched from Phila-
delphia, at the extreme eastern end
OF the state, to Put down the
strikers. This element of local jealousy
intensified the conflict. and gave it an
air of great ferocity. This dispatch OF
Philadelphia troops proved to be great
mistake, and newspapers aud people
alike tried to extract some comedy from
the discontinue of the spruce and dan
dified eastern militia. 1t was one OF
the jokes of that lurid event that many
OF these carpet knights did not stop
until they reached Harrisburg, more
than two hundred miles away from the
scene. In fact, it required men of great
courage and resolution to handle a
P;ttsburg mob. That city is full OF
workers in iron, muscular, hardy and
determined men, who were almost as
effective as regular troops. The COM
paratively peaceable character OF the
present strike is great cause for con-
graduation, and it is heartily to be
hoped that this immunity from blood
shed will continue to chsracterizc it,
be its duration long or short. Loss
OF property ia bad enough and it
has already been tremendous. Chicago
seems TO be the storm center dur
ing the present crisis and it will be
miracle il q serious collision is avoided !
in the Windy City. Its population is
made up Of the most heterogeneous ele-
ments of the United States, with a
strong dash Of the most reckless an
archists and nihiliets from the south OF
Europe. If the strike shall have passed
without some terrific explosion in Chi
cago We shall have demonstrated that
We have made great advances during the
past seventeen years. General Miles,
tho commander of the federal forces in
Chicago, and ofthe department of the
northwest, is a man of firm and we'll
balanced temperament and is not likely
to precipitate a collision. Under such
circumstances there is much in having
a man Of judgment and self control in
such q post.

some OF the finest passages in English
literature deal with the suffsrings Of
great men from numbers they could
crush with their hands in detail. See
how Gulliver was trampled upon by the

THR USE AND WASTE OF WATER.

The time was when cotton was king
at least south OF Mason and Dxon's
line. In Southern California, however,
since this region of country emerged
from its primary pastoral condition,
water is and has been king. 1t is water
and nothing else that has made the gor-
geous parterres of Figueroa and Adams
streets; the rich and productive orch
ards of Fullerton, Anaheina, Pomona
and Redlands, and the grateful shades
OF Riverside and Santa Anita. And now
comes the question as to whether an
element productive OF go much good and
creating 80 much material wealth, is
worth having.
Yes? Well, If 1t is worth having, it
certainly is worth preserving. The way
in which water runs into the sea and
goes utterly to waste, is too bad alto
gether. You 60 out to the Santa Anita
ranch and you see from ten to dozen
wells OF three inches in diameter spout
ing up water at the rate OF 1000 gallons
per hour, and that is only one of many
wasted for every one that creates sim
gle dollar OF wealth.
In yesterday mornings HERALD cor
respondent tells of two wells OF 10 inch
bore that have been bored within 300
feet of each other without mpairing the
flow of the first by reason OF the con-
struction of the second one. But the
time will come when the flow of both
will be perceptibly impaired, and that
before long. The history of the Santa
Clara valley will be re-enacted here un-
less some plan is devised to stop the
wanton waste that is rendered possible
by the boring of artesian wells within
300 feet OF one another.
The first artesian wells in Santa Clara
valley were bored about AZ years ago,
and varied from three to four inches in
diameter. Some time along in 1856 a
mau named Trimble bought a place on
Coyote creek, stream that goes dry in
summer but ia raging torrent after
winters rain. He had plenty OF money,
and. having been a lucky miner, con-
) ceived the idea OF outdoing all his neigh
bors by putting down an artesian well
OF six-inch bore to depth of 800 feet.
And for the ten years that followed all
the sightseers who went to San Jose
we're told that their visit to the Garden
city was incomplete unless they went
out to see Jack Trimble's we'll.
And what q sight that we'll was, to be
sure! Its soft and mellow waves danced
in the sunlight and fel! like the folds OF
bridal robe over the little shallow
baein that encircled the pipe which had
liberated them from their prison CT "a
thousand feet below. Down the n
towards the eea, through mills, I'd
miles of bitches. till they reachs, ie
Guadalupe, wasting fully twenty gal ms
for every one that performed the work
OF sprouting grass or growing fruit.
Every man must initiate the example
OF honest Jack Trimble. 20 ths ar.ssiau

WHILE there is unquestionably deep
dissatisfaction at the shape in which the
tariff bill has left the senate it lie to be
hoped that it will be crowded through
the house at once. Anything is prefer
able to delay. 1t is true that the present
strike acts practically as boycott on
business, but it is quite possible that
the knowledge that manufacturing can
be resumed under conditions that admit
OF something like SUCCESS may lead the
strikers and their employers to some
sort OF an immediate agreement. Under
the circumstances, anyone will be ex-
cused for voting for the bill. although
it is subject to the defects pointed out
by Senator Hill and will meet the ex-

The correspondence between Presi-
dent Cleveland and Governor Altgsld
has good many points of resemblance
to the attitude of Governor Palmer, now
Democratic United States senator OF
Illinois, at the time CT the Chicago frs,
twenty-three years ago. The headquar-
tsrs of General Sheridan were in that
city at that time. and that energetic
soldier Immediately proceeded to take
charge Of things. This action was re-
sented by Governor Palmer, who was
then Republican, but who assumed
advanced states rights ground. 1t is
generally conceded that Sheridan and
his regulars did much effective work
during the great fire, but on irregular
lines as respects the constitution of the
United States. The clash of authority
resulted in lively controversy.
