would be just as certain. But with /.
the small tract of irrigated land TO
carry him, neither time nor fate can
drive him from the place if he is as
industrious and economical as every
one should be who expects to make a
living from the soil. This is seen in
many parts of California where two or
three sets of settlers have been sue
cessfully driven out. And some of
the most prosperous settlements,
where they new brag the most about
their water advantages, are those
where but a few years ago ''no irriga-
ton required" was the most conspicu-
Gus part of their advertisements.
AS the ''no irrigation required" peo-
pie learned their folly by seeing the
success of near neighborS, so will
western Kansas and Nebraska be OBJ
ject lessons to the eastern portion of
places in the most rainy sections of
the East where they can no more af-
ford to ignore irrigation where it can
be had at reasonable eXpense) than
they can in Los Angeles and Orange
counties in California, where uplands
will raise without any irrigation a
better average crop of corn than any
part of Illinois, and when the damp
lands will beat their best. These
lands will do it because there is never
any loss from too much rain, while
the very dry seasons are not as fire.
quent as in Ohio and New York. But
in those very sections water brings
the highest price for irrigation in the
United States. This is not because
the people are fools, but bdcause they
know from long experience that even
the dearest water pays.
For long time people would doubt
and say it is a humbug and an adver-
Using dodge, then they will say west
ern Kansas and Nebraska are not
such bad sections after all, then they
will conclude they are even better
than the eastern part of the state,
and the next thing the eastern part
of the state will be initiating them.
From there irrigation will spread over
the whole East wherever it can be
cheaply applied, and after they have
become skillful irrigators they will |
conclude that the cost is not so i'm
pOrtant an item after all, and will !
lower the price of dry land according
to the cost of putting water on it.
Thus these semi-arid sections will do
in few years missionary work that |
it would have taken ages for the very
arid sections to have done, and show
the country how to support in COM
fort several times it's population,
whether the standard be silver or
gold.

Mr.. HURST was very happy in the Sc
lection Of his figure of speech when he
said that party platforms were "like bills
OF exchange, which.when accepted
should be duly honored." This is a
noble sentiment, nobly expressed, says
the Centreville Observer. If Mr..
Hurst, in the hour OF success, honors
his acceptance OF the Democratic plat
form with the same faith that he al
ways does his bills of exchange then the
good people of Maryland will have good
reason TO rejoice. If in politics Mr..
Hurst is as true to his word and rs hon
orably consistent in his actions as he is
in business affairs then indeed the Demo-
crsey has been happy in its choice
There are others who are presumed to
be close to Mr.. Hurst not of this stamp
of integrity. They are always ready
to accept platforms as presented but
when the time arrives when its require
ments should be honored these medel (yl
gentlemen suffer it to so to protest. Mr..
Hurst assures the Democracy that he
accepts the platform. This is his first
duty. The next is to honor it when
elected. To do this willTequire bold,
sturdy manhood, for the political IN
flnences which now environ him will
naturally suggest that he repudiate it.

THE Republican county ticket nomi-
mated by the Republican convention.
here yesterday has added considerable
strength to the Democratic ticket in
this county. With one or two excer-
tions, the ticket is considered very
weak one, aud does not come up to the
expectations OF the rank and file
OF ebe Republican party, and is not the
sort of ticket TO bring out the Re-
publican vote or to draw from the
Democratic ranks as was expected.
All three tickets are now in the field
Democratic, Republican and Prohibi-
tion-and the people can take them
down. There are good men on all tick
cts as well MS bad = but the voter must
be the judge of his choice. AS for our
part, we think the Democratic ticket
the most preferable.

It is, for example, he adds, beyond ques-

hibited unexampled progress in the
matter of franchises of the people vnd
he claims an overwhelming proportion
of these reforms were affected by the
liberal party.
