There are vast domains in the south
west and west which cannot be brought
into cultivation by the ordinary proc
essos OF irrigation which the individ-
ual farmer resorts to, but which, with
the aid Of the government in the con-
struction Of largo reservoirs from which
water can be drawn As needed, can be
made to bloom like a garden. With n
view 20 bringing about this happy re-
suit Senator PETER asked congress to
appropriate 5000, 600 with which to
construct reservoirs in the arid portions
of tho far west for storing water during
the winter and early spirng for irriga
ton purposes when needed later. The
Chicago Hay Trade Journal, comment
ing on the foregoing, says:
But Senator PETER Will find that
$500, 000will only bo Il drop in the
bucket for completing the proposed en-
tcrprisc The schcmc contemplated is
to construct hugo reservoirs IN the noun
famous and COMMUNICATIONS portions
Of tho arid countries wherein the water
from the spring frcshcts which now
serve no beneficial purposes, and, in
fact, contribute annually TO a work Of
destruction in swelling the rivers and
streams, can be stored for use when the
hot and dry season comes on.
1t is advanced seriously by those who
have given this subject attention that
nothing Will 80 tend to change the dry
climatic conditions Of these arid por-
tions as the construction Of these Same
reservoirs, where constant evaporation
Will be taking place the year around in
stead Of being confined to a few days in
the spring in which the freshets occur.
Once under cultivation, with the aid of
irrigation, a vast change in general con-
ditions viii no doubt take place.
1t is claimed by some that, a. our
grazing lands are now being rapidly en-
croachod upon ly the demands Of agri.
culture, it viii bo necessary to reclaim
the arid regions for grazing purposes

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY %, 1885,
The Democratic Party-Again.

Recurring to the present condition ana
future prospects of the Democratic party
rs touched upon by us yesterday, we
wish to add that the subjects which
must hereafter arise in legislating Tor TINS
country will necessarily be so diversined
and so numerous as 10 render IL impossl-
BILE to make party questions out OF all
OF them. AS well adopt the "KeViseu
Statutes OF the United States as the
Federal Constitution. and try TO make
party question out of every section con-
tanned I'm those statutes, as TO expect
every Democrat in the land TO sustain
md support all the measures favored oy
a Democratic administration or TO OPP
pose every measure objected to oy
Democratic administration.
The distinguishing feature of the Dem
pcratic policy requires that the Demo
Gratis shall make II their one imperative
duty to make and keep the States OF TINS
Union distinct as the pillows yet one
as the sea" This done. all the rest Will
follow as a matter of course. Here let
us say that in the House Of Representa-
fives on Thursday last General Sickles'
OF New York, took an advanced position
in speaking OF the Senate amendment 10
she diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill, when he declared that he was IN
favor Of the annexation Of Hawaii. ana
added that if he could no longer labor Tor
the progress Of his country within party
lines he would break through those lines
and GO where he could do so. as he had
fsar n
semblance OF a threat in General SICK
less language. as il appeared in the
papers. but we are confident that nothing
ne said was intended by him TO carry an
Objectionable meaning. He was simply
claiming his right as a Democrat 10 adj
yocate a measure which would tend 10
make Hawaii part Of Uncle Sans pos
sessions. The vote which he was seek
ing to Justify was cast in favor Of making
an appropriation TO construct a cable be-
tween the United States and the Sand
witch Islands-say from this country to
Honolulu Who has the right to decide
that either side Of this question ought TO
be taken by all good Democrats?
General Cass said in the United States
Senate many years ago that it was the
duty Of the Democratic party TO be strict
constructionis:s. He said: Let us cling
10 the Constitution as the mariner clings
70 the last plank when night and the
tempest close around him" II we per
form this duty we shall have done well
Let us not stick in the bark" but show
10 the world that we have wide horizon.
Let Mr.. Jefferson's example be followed
He was not afraid OF annexing foreign
territory. In fact. he was ahead of his
time. II was far-seeing craftsmanship
that dictated his course. And We may all
rest in the assurance that If we follow
where his teachings lead. we shall ind
that the Democratic party has yet mis-
zion to perform.

voting at the spring Elections.

A newsletter from Martinsville in
the Times Of yesterday says:
From the present outlook there VIII be
much trouble under the Walton election
law In the spring election for county
officers. For instance. there will be
not less than twenty TO forty names on
every ticket. and unless voter be an
expert In reading he cannot in the time
allowed two and half minuteO pre-
pare HIS ballot; besides, where there are
over go voters registered IN any one pre-
cinct they win not have the opportunity
20 offer to vote. for only go votes can BE-
voted in ten hours. AZ this precinct there
are nearly 800 registered voters, and with
but one voting-place with only 'hree
booths IN H., not more than one iourth
Of the registered votes can be polled'
II there is any such trouble as tais at
our spring elections the electoral boarus
and others whose duty 1t is to see that
there are plenty OF booths at eaeh pre-
cinct will be TO blame
An extra booth or two will cost but
trihe. and II the supply is not adequate 10
the demand an outraged public should put
the responsibility where it belongs
IL booths are numerous enough ana the
voters are thus prevented from ciamorins
for admission into. the booths. who is going
TO make a point against man that mas
stayed In booth trihe more than TWO
and a half minutes?
At the Democratic primary at "hich
Ellyson and Ainslie were the candida'es
for the mayoralty nomination we had
very much longer ticket-a ticket Win
MANY more names upon it-than the Mar
tinsville district is likely TO have ana
vet we find that at one of our Clay-War
precincts there were SIG votes cast. Inc
ticket (balloO that we used on that &C.
casion land have long used here was the
same that the Walton law requires
having names Of all candidates for all
the offices on one piece OF paper
"But YOU did not make your voters go
into booths" No. we did not; but the
probability is that We could have done
equally as well under the booth-system'
The main point 10 be arranged at popu-
lous precincts is that there shall al
WAYS be a line of voters approaching the
ballot-box. And the way TO keep this line
full. continuous ard in steady motion Is
10 have plenty Of booths. If there are not
plenty OF booths provided for our spring
elections, It will be the fault of the au-
thorities. not of the Walton law.
BY the way. does it occur TO the Demo-
Gratis of Richmond that if the booth sys-
tenn be adopted for our next legislative
urinary election. the candidates will be

Fred. Douglass and the North Caro-
linn House.

That the party in power in North Caro-
lima Is not truly representative OF the
good paople OF that noble old State Is
ronspicuously shown by the resolutions
of respect passed and adjournment or
nered in the House on Thursday IN re-
Hpect to the, memory of Frederick DOUG
lass!
On the 18th Of January. Lees Birth
day, a legal holiday In North Carolina
that same House refused TO TESTIFY us
respect 10 the memory Of Lee. Yes, and
that same House afterwards refused 10
adjourn over for the 22d of February,
washington's Birthday, yet it resolved 10
quit business on Thursday and adjourn
for that day in respect to the memory OF
Fred. Douglass!
We can appreciate the desire OF the
coIored members TO honor one or the most
noted men Of their race. but how their
white allies could make such an invidions
distinction against Washington and Lee
we can explain only on the ground that
they are OF the opinion that Douglass
was a greater and better man than ei'her
Washington or Lee.
This action, so repulsive TO the feelings
NJ all true North Carolinians. shows that
Che negro vote Is a great power In the poll
tics of that State. He was the instrument
of whom the Populists and white Repub-
,,cans made use in overthrowins the
democrats OF North Carolina. And yet
we are told that the negro is no longer
n power IN southern politics!
The North Carolina fact Is at variance
with the Virginia theory. The negro is
a great power in North Carolina; he is
great power in Virginia. But in North
Carolina ne has gotten the ascendency.
while 10 Virginia he is waiting for the
whites to divide so that he may make
his vote tell against the Democrats and
IN favor OF just such a combination as Is
cefying the sentiment and outraging the
feelings OF North Carolina.
tBut the North Carolinians are not
going 10 stand this sort OF thing long.
Soon they viii rise in their might and
clear the political field OF these intruders.
How they viii do II we do not know
but they are going TO do 1t, and do 1t
thoroughly and well.
