IRRIGATION IN THE EAST.

There was consoling dispatch from
Boston, published in Tuesdays New
MEXICAN, saying that William L. Smythe,
editor of the Irrigation Age and chair
man of the national irrigation committee,
had carried the war into Africa, by in
augurating vigorous campaign in favor
that city of capitalists and culture, on
Monday night, Edward Everett Hale, the
great social pslitical economist, presided
and delivered an able address advocating
the reclamation of the arid lands of the
west, by means of irrigation. By this
means, he said, the surplus population of
the east would find homes in the broad
and unoccupied areas of the west.
Mr.. Smythe delivered vigorous speech
saying among other things that ''the cause
of the west is the cause of the nation"
He read kilograms from officials in Wyo-
ming, Idaho, Washington and Montana
announcing that each of these states had
passed legislation accepting the grant of
100000 acres of public lands on consid-
Grafton that they be reclaimed and set
tied.
Editor Smythe is entitled to the thanks
of the people of the west for the energy
he displays in bringing the great sub jsct
of irrigation before the people of the
whole country both as editor and speak
err Through his efforts it is more than
probable that many of the capitalists of
the east may be induced to invest part
of their now idle surplus in retaining
arid lands in the west, thus creating
homes for millions of people, and at the
same time placing their funds where they
can be assured of certain and profitable
returns.
When such a man as the venerable DR..
Hale advocates proposition, that prop
osition Is sure to be looked upon with
favor in Boston, and throughout the
whole of the east for that matter.
New Mexico offers the greatest and
best inducements to capital in this line of
investment of any state or territory in
the Union. With our millions of acres of
unoccupied lands, only needing water to
make them the most fertile and produce
tive on earth, our magnificent climate
and great mineral resources, there is no

"THE party can gain no victory in the
future without utterly repudiating Cleve-
lands policy on the money question. The
party must get back to its old principles
of equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none; demand the restoration of
the old Democratic bimetallic standard
that existed for eighty years in our his
tory. The rights of the sovereign states
and the liberty of the citizens, as taught
by our democratic fathers, must be main
tanned. We must abandon our fight for
money and moneyed inter ests, and take
up the fight for man and the interests of
the people. Richard P. Bland.

MCkINLEY's friends in Washington are
evidently much alarmed over the posi-
ton he has taken against the free coinage
of silver. 1t is fact, nevertheless, that
he Is dead against it. His southern trip
has killed his presidential prospects just
as Reeds were killed by his celebrated
straddle in the late congress. In the
meantime Gen. Harrison and Corporal
Allison are doing great deal Of smiling.

The most prosperous farm and ranch
season in the history of New Mexico is
now approaching. The fruit crop, too,
bids fair to be great This fact, taken in
connection with the assurance of an ex-
traordinary range grass crop, ought to
serve to make all business profitable in
the territory during the year 1895.

PRESS COMMENTS.
Only n Little Finn .

AS to the Optics being surly, the New
paper has kindly feeling for the capital
city and its daily paper, and we admire
the latter very much, as an exponent of
New Mexico journalism. Nevertheless,
when Homer shores, we can hut tweak
his nose. When the New MEXICAN makes
a little slip, which in no wise detracts
from its value, in pure fun and not from
moroseness or malice, we enjoy poking
it in the ribs. No doubt this pleasure IS
enhanced by the New MEXICAN mans TAX
ing it all in such dead earnest. How
ever, when the time has come to show
our true sentiments toward Santa Fe or
its daily, we think the Optic has never
been found wanting.-Las Vegas Optic.

New Method Of Making 6as.

A new system of producing gas has
been discovered. It promises to play a
prominent part in the industrial and
mechanical world. Further investigation
and experiment may yet demonstrate
that gas produced by this new method is
a cheaper illuminant and fuel than any
thing in either Of these lines that has
been placed on the market.
Electricity enters largely into its pro-
duction, but it may yet prove formid-
able competitor of electricity for light
purposes. In an interesting article in the
"Engineering and Mining Journal" Dr..
Francis Wyatt describes the process by
which this new gas may be produced so
cheaply as to bid defiance to competition
from the ordinary coal or water gas. In
his opinion the gas may be produced
anywhere for 30 cents per 1000 cubic
feet, one of its chief recommendations
being that by it the requirements of
country hotels and dwelling houses and
of railway cars may be fully supplied.
As in the case of so many other great
discoveries, this one was made by accident.
It was while experiments in the manu-
facture of aluminium were being made
that the method of producing the ingre-
dents which enter into the composition
of gas was found. A simple mixture of
lime and carbon, with current of from
1000 to 5000 amperes of electricity was
| used This formed fused black homo
geneous mass, which, when cooled, be-
came solid and brittle. When analysed
this substance turned out to be very
pure carbide of calcium.--New York Ad-
vertiser.

GREENE-NIEMORIAL CHURCH.
The Beautiful aud Impressive Services
There Sunday.
There never before has been held at
Greene nj e morial more beautiful and
impressive service than was held at
that place OF worship on Sunday morn
ing DR.. Thos. e. Carson, the pastor
preached as had been previously an
nounced in these columns, his sermon,
IAN Eternal Weight OF Glory" The
sermon throughous abounded in classic
thought and illustration, and waited
the minds OF his hearers away from the
things that are sensual, across the Jor-
dan OF death. to the isles of the sea
Majestic. that encompass "Canaan's
fair and happy land" where "o'er those
wide extended plains shines one eternal
day"
DR.. Carson s,id that the things
heavenly were not perfect because they
are eternal, but eternal because they
are perfect, and that the things earthly
were not imperfect because they are
dying. but dying because they are
imperfect, and tha. the love and mercy
OF the worlds redeemed can graduate
the polluted soul OF man for the society
of angels and the redeemed.
One OF the most plessiog parts OF the
service was the beautiful rendition OF q
solo, Never Alone" by Miss L. M.
Kregloe, of Buena Vista. At the even
ing service Mr. w. E Burnett, sang
