pressed. The United States buys gold to
replenish its vanishing reserve. The in
convenience of fluctuations is common to
all nations, but different nations have
different methods of averting the inoon-

have it within their power to keep the
hands of the gold sharks and spectators
out of the national treasures, but with
the United States, thanks to John Sher-

IRRIGATION CONGRESS AT ALBUQUERQUE.

The 4th annual irrigation congress,
which convened at Albuquerque yester.
day and which will continue in session
to-day and tomorrow, ia an international
as well as an interstate gathering, the
republic of Mexico, the dominion of
Canada, the states of Kansas, Nebraska,
Texas, Colorado and California and the
territories of Arizona, Utah, Oklahoma
and New Mexico being represented by
duly accredited delegates. The peculiar
propriety Of holding this notably i'm
portant congress, the first meeting of the
kind ever held in New Mexico, in the
midst of region filled with splendid irri-
CATION object lessons will be fully
realized by the delegates after they per-
sonally visit the irrigated valleys of this
territory pursuant to the plans of the
committees in charge.
Irrigation has been successfully prac-
ticed in New Mexico for several centuries,
and, under the energetic and intelligent
guidance of men of modern ideas, backed
by the required money it has reached a
degree of perfection and wrought results
in some of the valleys that are positively
marvellous, proving beyond peradvent-
ure that practically all of arid America
may be made to bloom and blossom like
the rose and to furnish homes and plenty
to many thousands who are now virtually
homeless and often hungry for the COM
mon necessaries of life.
But we need not dwell further upon this
theme at the present time. In his ad-
dress of welcome to the irrigation con-
gress, printed entire in these colum MS
yesterday, Gov. Thornton 80 completely
covered the subject in all of its phases
that we can think of nothing moro to add
without indulging in mere repetition of
his clear, vigorous and admirable address.

The Railway Mail Service.

Complaints are rife throughout the ter
ritory regarding the miserable service
rendered the people by the postal author
tiles. Almost without exception the
newspapers are kicking, and kicking
hard, about the trials experienced by peo-
Pile everywhere in securing mail matter
anything like on time. Could the man
who drafted the Wilson bill and who
proved rank failure as congressman,
hear the bowls of disgust against
his management, or mismanagement, of
the postal service, he would imagine that
his forte is not that of a postal-general.
Two and three issues Of the Albuquerque
Democrat are received in one day; the
Las Vegas papers come just about as
regular, and very often the st. Louis
Globe Democrat takes holiday. Letters,
parcels, ETC., receive the same treatment,
and the situation is daily growing more
serious. The friends of good govern
ment will have their innings IN 1896, and
even at this early day we can imagine
with what iendlsh delight everything
connected with the present administra-
ton will be kicked into space.-San Mar
cial Bee.

The secretary of agriculture has post
poned for thirty days the date for plac-

quirements as early as at first contem-
plated by the order. What better evil

IT would seem that the fruit growers
of New Mexico have a just grievance
against the express companies. The

be reasonable in this matter, aud make

The success that has attended the Of
forts of the Blue Water Irrigation COM
pany affords the most striking illustra-
ton that could possibly be given of what
may be accomplished in almost any sec
ton of New Mexico by little capital
and energy. By the construction of
storage reservoirs right in the midst of a
practically barren plain, this company
has already brought nearly 5000 acres of
land under cultivation, and is just now
garnering as grand harvest as will be
gathered in any part of the United States.
