were planted to wheat, and 1t seemed
the Sanest Of projects TO build q grtst
mill to grind the crop, This was un-
dertaken near the Arkansas river by
Onterprlsing merchants in the neigh
borhoOd of Garden City, but the nav
institution began and ended with q
mill-rsce. Before the building and
machinery were required the wheat
crop had surrendered to the dry air and
hot winds. The semisr character Of
the great plains west Of the Tooth me-
ridisn, long known to stOckmen and
Indians, but denied by greedy land
agents and discredited by eager and
hopeful settlers, had again asserted
itself with unmistskable emphasis.
Not an acre of the crop was harvested.
The prairie schooners set sail and
steered for other parts. Towns dwin.
died to mere hamlets. All the nebu-
lous industrial, educational and rail-
road projects suddenly descended from
the sublime to the ridiculous. And
yet the bliRhted seed was destined to
bear another and more fateful crop,
and the forgotten mill.race on the
banks Of the Arkansas to grind grist
that would prove historic. A few set
tiers remained to rake amid the ashes
of their ruined homes. Among them
was q man who had learned the meth
dds Of irrigation while living in CALI
fOrnis and In Colorado. 1t hap.
pened that his land sdjoined the
abandoned mill-rSCe, and he readily
obtained the right to turn the water on
part Of his farm. The result, though
not surprising to the practiced irri-
gator, was q revelation to his thor
Oughly diahesrtened nelghbors.
The soil which had produced moth
ing in the previous summer, responded
to the new method of cultivation with
enormous crops of all varieties Of pro.
ducts. In quality they surpassed any.
thing previously grown in that region.
AS these facts became known q new
hope arose, like star In the night,
against the black background Of past
discouragements. The Garden City sex
pertinent" became the Mecca of stu
dents of irrigation throughout the wide
region devastated by the drought. The
ruined crop Of the previous year, and
the useless mill-race, gave birth to an
influence which in fifteen years has
assumed far.reaching proportions.
This influence, by revealing the need
of irrigation in a territory which had
hitherto depended entirely upon the
rainfall, extended the known limits
OF arid America hundreds Of miles TO
the eastward and more than 1000 miles
north and south, thus adding to the
empire of irrigation all the western
portion of the DskotaS, Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, TO-
gether with eastern Colorado.
In this vast district it has begun to
reVOlutiOnize both the industrial and
the social life Of the people. 1t has
compelled the attention Of Leglsla-
lures, created new laws and admins
tratiVe SYSTEMS in several States, wrung

dustrial and educational undertakings.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The House of Representatives spent
yesterday debating the Johnston-Stokes
contested election case from the Sew
enth South Carolina district. The re-
publicans we're divided. Those who
favored seating the contestant, John
ston, who ran on populist-republican
ticket, finding themselves slightly in
the minority when the voting began,
inaugurated a filibuster which lasted
until the conference report on the naval
appropriation bill came to the rescue,
and the House recessed before final &C.
ton was taken. Johnston's partisans
were outvoted, 1856 and 1O3-99.
An effort will be made to reconsider on
Monday, and, if that fails, to unseat
Stokes and declare the seat vacant.
The evening session was devoted to
private pension legislation.
Mr.. Boutelle presented the confer
ence report on the naval appropriation
bill. The principal questions still in
dispute were the number of battleships
to be authorized and the Senate amend
ment placing the extreme limit of the
cost of armor plate at $3.50 per ton.
Mr.. Boutelle said that the average cost
of armor plate was $500. He read a
letter from Secretary Herbert CRITICS.
ing the language of the amendment,
which the secretary said might prevent
direct contract with shipbuilders for
ships and armor. The report was
agreed to and the bill sent to further
conference.
The President has signed the follow
ing acts: The legislative appropria-
ton bill, to require engineers on ships
of the naval reserve to be American
citizens, and granting q pension to
Elizabeth, daughter of the late Major
General Phil Kearney.
There is reasonable probability that
Congress will adjourn by June s. The
republicans in both houses are arrang-
ing their plans with this end in view.

SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 80. 1896
THE POLICY of all long lived nations

THE POLICY of all long lived nations
has been to obliterate as soon as possible
all reminders of internecine strife and
conflicts, as the memory thereof natur-
ally tends to retard the restoration OF
those amicable relations that should
subsist among fellow citizens of a COM
mon country, and without which, per-
manent peace can hardly be expected,
save in the presence of force or by the
danger of selfish interests. But the
people of this country have the war be-
tween the States ever before their
eyes. The day on which the graves Of
the federal soldiers are lowered is a
legal holiday in the District of Colum-
bia, the national Congress adjourns to
celebrate it, and statues of federal Of
fcers occupy prominent positions in all
the public parks of the national capital,
50 that the children of the North and
those of the South, when visiting
Washington, may be taught that their
fathers died at each others throat.
Such children are human, and such
teaching therefore is, and only natural
". more conducive to hate than to love.
But fools must suffer for their folly.

WASHINGTON, May 80.
Memorial Day was observed here
with the usual ceremonies attending
the decoration ofthe graves of the union
soldiers who fell in the war between the
States. At ten o'clock the military
aud civic organizations composing the
street parade formed near the Treas
ury Department and marched up Penn
sylvania avenue to 25th street, where
the Grand Army posts, assigned to dec.
crate the graves in cemeteries other
than Arlington, left the line and pro-
ceeded to the places where their indi
vidual programmes were carried out.
Col. James B. Carter was officer of the
day, and under his command were the
military organizations of veterans, and
the Grand Army posts. The United
States Marine Band led the process
sion, followed by carriages contain
ing the orators, posts and Others,
who took prominent parts in the exer-
cises. The Arlington National Gene
tery was the main attraction of
the day and here the principal
