Excess of Water I'm Irrigation

The results of too much water
can be seen in the fields of culti-
waited crops. A patch of corn
shows at distance where water
has been applied too often. The
harvest in the fall shows better
than any other evidence the fallacy
of al excessive supply of water.
The yield is low, the quality in
fcrior and the ground is left in an
unsatisfactory condition for plant
ing another year. The effect of
over irrigation is noticed for many
lycars. Land fertility is destroy ed
and that waste is noticed for. years
after too much water is applied. !
The value and fertility of land
depreciates with what men regard
as apparent care in irrigation.
oae year of over-irrigation .des-
troys the fertility Of land for at
least six successive seasons OF rest.
The soil Of land that is irrigated
too much can. easily be destroyed
by careless handling after irrigation
ceases, When land is broken the
excessive moisture escapes by the
process Of capillary attraction, the

The san Francisco Chronicle.
says, The New York bankers Who
freely admit that syndicate has
so successfully cornered the avail
able gold supply of the world that
the United States treasury is
its mercy have framed the very
strongest possible g Indictment
against the single gold standard.
After reading their views, sensible
men cannot help concluding that u
monetary system which favorsAthe
cornering of redemption money
must be vicious in the extreme.
Assuming that tho transaction was
all right and in the interest of the
American treasury, which may or
may not he so, it is at any rate a
Tfrightful Indication, of the fact that
the most powerful government of
the world is at the mercy of the ]
money power so long as govern
.ment finances are based upon the
restricted stock of gold which is
held and controlled by the great
bankers. There will be no safety
for the governments of the western

The action Of the German BIZ

The resolutions adopted by the

The chain OF the ,feat banking
system Of Europe is securely fas Z

efforts now is to fasten it on the
United States. President Cleve--
land has recently turned the care
Of the so-called gold reserve over
to the Rothschild- Morgan syndi-
cate, which is practically fulfilling
for the United States the same
duty that the Bank Of England
does for Great Britain. The United
States government proceeded with
out the sanction of the law in its
handling of the coinage of silver
dollars, and it is now proceeding
without sanction of law in "going
out of the banking business. The
Offices which the syndicate is dis
charging in caring for the gold re-
serve are much the same as If the

over to it with the accompanying
duty of providing for redemption.H

The right of a man to defend
himself on his own Lremlses has
been vindicated by the United
States supreme court in an Arkan-
sas ease. A man with two others
came on the premises of his broth
'erinlaw to seize a COW. He drew
a revolver to intimidate the owner
of the animal, and was thereupon
struck and killed. The court at
the trial held that this killing was
not. justifiable, as the man must re-
treat inside his dwelling house be-
fore he had right to fire in self
defense The supreme court over
rules this decision. It holds that
"a man on hisss own premises is
where he has a right to be If he
did not provoke an assault, and
believed his life in danger, he was
not obi ged to retreat. and was
justified in meeting force with
force. This is common sense doc
trines and it is gratifying TO know
that the highest court has affirmed
it to be good law. f -a.

The regular normal gold exporting
period begins in February, and as gold
has gone out at that time in the last
ten years, there is no reason to believe
that It win not do so again this year.
At the present rate Of gold Withdrawals
the gold reserve win be below $4,000, 900
before February /, and then another
bond issue will be necessary. Unless in
the meantime something should be done
to stem the outflow II the present
congress would show Europe that IL
would do nothing hurtful to the fnan-
cial interests Of this country, foreign
houses would buy more American se-
curities, which would tend to keep the
gold here. At present there is practi-
cally no foreign buying of American
stocks and bonds. and the greatest dis
trust is felt abroad on account of the
attitude OF congress. Europe does not
believe that this congress will help the
general situation here. and until it sees
more Improvement in American securi-
ties it will take American gold.
