Business Depression.
Spokane IS looking up very fast and
the feeling is better than IL has been for

mill. sash and door factory. electric plant
and other establishments are in course of
construction. and the general feeling OF
depression which has existed for so long
Is giving way 10 that Of prosperity. True.
the exceptionally low price OF wheat is
being felt by the agricultural classes, but
the impetus given TO mining. and the pay
ing Of dividends BY the various companies
has had It's good effect. and from now on

San Antonio is not so ready to
kick against the expenditure of
money for public uses as some
seem to think. What she does
kick at is the failure of the corpo-
ration officers to collect the money
due to the city, and the expen-
diture of what is collected upon
improvements that do not i'm.
prove. The time has come in the
history of the city to make per.
manent and not temporary i'm.
provements. The time has also
come for the city to assert its
authority as against the encrOach.
ments of those who hold franchises
from the city. Surely there is
collective wisdom in the council,
and executive of this city to frame
and enforce ordinances that will
protect the city in it's rights, a!
against all who find it to their in
terest to defy the ordinances anC
set the city at nought.

Divisions of the Day.

Scientific people are anxious to
get rid of the division of the day
into two parts Of IL hours each,
necessitating the addition Of A. NJ.
and p. NJ. to distinguish which
half OF the day the hour belongs
to. To count from l to "a is a
long.standing proposal. Another
is to double the length of the
hours, so that there would be only
in the day; and another is to
add an A to each of the p. NJ. hours ;
yet another, to divide the day on
the decimal plan, each day to have
10 hours, each hour 100 minutes,
and each minute 100 seconds.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER II, 1895

Alexander Brown & Sons are not
monkeying with the tides on the
gulf coat Of Texas. They have put
money into deep water operations
understandingly, knowing that at
Arkansas Pass all that is required is
intelligent work backed by suffi-
Gent capital to push the work to
completion faster than the natural
destructiveness of the elements
upon an unfinished work will de-
stroy it. In this knowledge they
are putting forth all their efforts in
the direction of the most good
work in the least time. Confident
that within two years the work at
Arkansas Pass will be completed,
this firm offers the generous sum
OF a quarter of a million toward
the holding Of an inter-American
exposition at Arkansas Pass in 1893.
Galveston started the ball rolling
for this exposition, but shut up
like a clam as soon as Arkansas Pass
made its offer. II that exposition
is going where the most liberal
donations are made, the Pirate
island will have to call on her re-
serves and hustle.

IRRIGATION IRRITATION.

Irrigation matters threaten to be.
come irritation matters if they are
] not carefully handled. There are
always those who seem to see in
every franchise some deprivation
| of right by the people at large, and
there is grain o: truth in this,
But all concessions to individuals
| are supposed to be for the greater
good of the public as whole, and
where private rights are infringed
on there is the legal remedy. The
cry of riparian right will be raised
against every attempt to utilize the
waters of the rivers and smaller
streams for irrigation purposes,
and where a clear infringement Of
private right is shown there will
be no difficulty in securing legal
redress, either in the way
of monetary damages or restriction
from infringement. While this is
so, it must not be forgotten that
private rights give way in certain
prescribed cases to public good,
and that it is the province of the
courts exclusively to decide upon
the rights or wrongs of each par.
ticular case as it arises. There is a
tendency to act the dog in the
manger in all attempts to take
private property for public or cor
porate uses. No railway line, or
canal, or irrigation ditch ever was
run in any country without this
spirit manifesting itself, and
it is not likely that the at.
tempt to secure irrigation privi-
leges under legislative enact
ment in this state will prove
any exception. What will be
the outcome of the struggle be-
tween the promoters of irrigation
and those who consider their pri-
vate rights infringed upon can
only be ascertained by the courts
decision. The matter is in con-
troversy in other states and is
destined to reach the final court of
decision, the supreme court at
Washington. The faulty legisla-
ton Of this state leaves no good
ground to hope that the enact
ments of that body on this subject
are any more above challenge than
some other of their acts, and the
determination of this matter must
rest with the parties in interest,
and through them, if they
so elect, in the courts. 1t is to
be remembered that irrigation
costs money; that those who en-
gage in 1t do not do so for their
health; that without the expendi-
ture Of large sums and much work
under skilled engineers irrigation
is largely failure; that the mere
fact that a mans land is bordered
by a stream is not sufficient reason
for him to bar the progress Of irri-
cation work by which vast COM
munities would be advantaged /;
that the wisdom of courts of high
est character can be depended upon
