IRRIGATION AND SENATORS.


It will be noticed in J. R Burton's talk
at St. Louis and elsewhere that he iAtry-
ing to make the people of the country
believe the fight for the United States
senatorship is solely between him and
John j. Ingalls,. The Atchlson Globe
says this is a part OF Mr. Burton's scheme,
and says:
J. Ralph Burton gives out the impress
sion that the fight for United States SEN
ator is between John ]. Inga lls and him
self. This is done to work on the preJu-
dices of people in the western part of the
state. There is feeling in that section
that it is necessary TO have western
man in the senate, in order to obtain irri-
CATION legislation. The versatile Mr..
Burton has taken up irrigation. and Is
laboring with it most vigorously. He
makes irrigation speeches, writes irriga-
ton pieces, and is doing what be can 20
convince the dear people that If they
will only send him to the senate he Will
make the arid. plains blossom as the pro.
verbal rose. By sitting stories into the
newspapers that the fight is between In
gals and himself, Burton hopes to draw
the west into his camp.
But Burton has opposition in the
west. which is liable to break into his
arrangements. Judge William B. SUIT
ton OF Russell county, VINO lately an
Rounced himself as a candidate for SEN
ator has developed qnie a boom. SUIT
toms specially is also irrigation. The
difference between the two candidates on
this subject is that Sutton understands
it and Burton doesn't, sutton is a practl-
cal irrigationist. He is member of the
legislature from Russell county and last
winter got an appropriation for irrigation
experiments, and Governor Morrill,
placed him upon the commission created
10 have charge of the work. His efforts
have been appreciated and many west
erners have declared for him for senator.
some conservative politicians think THAI
sutton will put Burton in the shade be-
fore the real fighting commences, not
only because he is an irrigation enthu-
aiGst; but also because he is very Ca
pable man and has a reputation for de-
cency.

the reason of the enormous increase in
the estimate of the total cost of the work
when it shall be completed, if, indeed,
it should ever be possible to bring it to
q state of completion.
For it has now been recognized that
500, 600, 900 is moderate estimate of
this ultimate cost, and even that amount
is considered by some of the most con-
sentative engineers in the country to be
entirely inadequate. Moreover, when the
work shall be completed, it will require
constant repairs and close and costly
supervision to keep it in order and main
tain the effectiveness which is hoped for
by those who believe in the commits
sion S theories. AS has been intimated,
there are very many engineers who do
not believe in these theories, and who
look upon the work as comparatively
useless and the money as practically
thrown away.
Present Status of the Matter.
As matter of course this money has
not been and will not be appropriated
in lump sum, nor is the work expect
ed to bo complete for many years to
come. Up to 1892 there had been about
$50, 900, 900 appropriated and expended,
but 81 900, 900 of this was for surveys,
examinations and the like and has
never been reckoned in the total of mon
eys appropriated for the actual work of
construction. The $40, 600, coo that had
been at different times set aside for that
purpose was practically exhausted when
the river and harbor bill came up for
consideration in 1892, and one item of
that bill as it was finally passed and be-
came law provided for the appropria-
ton of $40, 900, 600 more, making a to-
tai of $40. 900, 600 appropriated up to
the present time, exclusive of the ex-
penses of the surveys.
This SO, 600, 600, appropriated in
1892, was not made Immediately avail
able for the commission, but was set
aside in four equal, annual sums, ono
for each fiscal year up to and including
the present one, which expires next
June- And it must be explained that
there is now remaining an unexpended
balance of about 1000, 600, which is
ample, if not moro than sufficient, to
carry on the work now in progress until
the expiration of the year.
The present congress, therefore, has to
consider the question of how much mon
ey to set aside in the river and harbor
bill for the prosecution of this vast
work, which has cost $50, 900, 900 and is
expected to cost $40, 900, 600 more. The
II years already consumed may not DO
any ground for estimating the time re-
quired for completing the work, as that
may be pushed more rapidly or mora
slowly according to the will of congress.
Senator Quay's utterance is therefore
seen to be significant and important It
is pleasant, to recall the fact that no
misuse of money has ever been charged
against any one in connection with the
commission. JOHN EsTERBROoK.

SENATOR CARLISLE, despairiug of an
increase of revenue sufficient to over
come the regular monthly deficit, has
hit upon a plan for increasing the treas
ury receipts. He will begin February
/ and coin 100000 of those dishonest
silver dollars, which in reality only cost
the government 711< cents. There will
be a profit to the government of 29115
cents on every dollar coined, or more
than $4,000 900 on the whole transaction.
To think that the great apostle of hon
est money should at last come to this!
To think that he should be party to the
creation of $5,0O0,0O0 fat money! Mr.
Carlisle assures the public however that
none of these dishonest fiat dollars will
be permitted to get away. They are
merely to he placed in the treasury to be
counted. The amount of silver to be
coined counts So, 10000 more as dollars
than it does as bullion, and the treasury
therefore will be enriched just that
much. What farce this gold standard

ABOUT this time last year wheat went
up to 80 cents bushel. There was no
more reason why it should advance to 80
cents than there was that it should stay
there, or than there is that it should go
to 80 cents now. VIII anybody pretend
that the price of wheat is regulated, ex-
cept as to its general level, by any law of
trade or of supply and demand? The
fluctuations in the wheat market are the
result of manipulations by the members
of the grain exchange. When the far
mers have the wheat the price is low;
when it passes into the hands of the
gamblers the price advances until they
can unload on somebody. An advance is
about due now.

A MAN who used to live near Lieu
tenant Governor Troutman when he was
working on his fathers farm, in Tecum-
sch township, tells the following story
''Many a time 1 have seen James A.
Troutman following plow, but doubt
whether he would be called a success as
farmer. His father would go out and
start him to blowing, and 1 have seen
him tell him to let his team hurry along
for two or three rounds and then let
them rest a little while. Young Jim
would obey instructions and he would
pillow two rounds as fast as he could urge
his team. Then he would stop his
horses and set down on the pillow at
turning corner and take out his Bible
which he always carried with him and
read till the bell rang for noon. He
would forget all about blowing. Things
went on that way for awhile and then
his father concluded that Jim must be
sent away to school, aud he never farmed
much sfterward." This story is not mart
of Mr.. Troutman's candidacy for gov
ernor,

oraDle distance farther out to sea IN or
der to maintain their usefulness is in
teresting to the commissioners only in
the sense that it shows something of the
practical working of the theory on which
their operations are conducted.
Power of the Commission.
Originally they were empowered only
to improve the channel of the river,
that being a work clearly within tho
scope of the general government. 1t
was held at first that the building of the
levees to prevent local overhows was
purely local work and should not be
paid for by a taxation of the whole ma
tion. Now, however, and for number
of years past, their powers have been
larger, and they build OR repair levees
wherever in their judgment it is neces-
sary. There has been a deal of protest
against this on constitutional grounds,
but none of it has been effectual, and,
as a matter of fact, nearly $4,000. 600
has been expended of United States
money by the commission in the con.
struction of levees.
This may not seem startling when it
is recalled that when President Hayes
appointed the original commissioners it
was estimated that the expense of their
work would mot exceed $40. 900, OOO."
But as levees were not embraced in that
estimate, and as the estimate even on
the original work is now acknowledged
to have been too small, it is plain that
the expense to which Uncle Sam is COM
mitted is something enormous even for
a nation as rich as ours is. Some details
of this expense up to date and of the
formation of the commission may be in
teresting.
4 The commission is composed of seven
members. Three are United States army
officers of reputation as practical euei-
neers, one is a member of the coast and
geodetic survey and three are civilians.
Lieutenant Colonel @. L. Gillespie is
the present president, he having succeed
ed General Comstock. His army associ-
ates are Major Hamburg and Lieutenant
Colonel Stiokney. Mr.. Whiting repre-
sents the coast survey, and the civilians
are Mr.. B. N. Harrod of Louisiana, Mr..
Robert S. Taylor of Indiana and Mr..
Henry FIad of st. Louis. The commits
sion was created by act of congress in
June, 1879, and was directed to ''report
in full on the practicability, feasibility
and probable cost of the various plans
known as the jetty system, the Ievee sys-
tenn and the outlet system, as we'll as
upon such others as they deem neces-
sary." Such a report was made, and the
work of the commission was projected
and has been prosecuted on the revet-
ment system, which may be Roughly de-
scribed as a modification of the jetty sys-
tenn and analogous to it. But, as was
said, the levee system has been added to

ON THE STRAND.
Sauntering Through the 1Iost Wonderful
Thoroughfare In the World.

AAA WIG ESEAOs
Especial Correspondence
LONDON, Jan. 6.-There is q saying to
the effect that every one who is any one
will be found at some time or another
on the Strand. And I believe this saying
to be true, for in no thoroughfar in the
world will you meet so many distin-
guished, interesting and wandering per-
sons in the same lapse of time.
Yes; here comes every one who is any
one. They may not come today OF to-
morrow, Or next week, or next month,
but they will probably come next year
or after.
Here walks London, nay, here walks
the world-statesman, laborer, pure wo-
man, low woman, actor, artiSt-aye, all
the human types and their variations
pass you by. You gaze upon the index
of the civilization Of the world. You
look upon the faces of those that build
and weave, those that destroy and rend,
those that idle and enjoy. You lock
upon your kind as it appears in all its
growths and development and progress
sions and degenerations.
Here is your mighty, who has swerved
and SPAWNED immense rivers, who has
chained lightning, who has pierced the
bowels of earth, who has conquered ele-
ments and oceans. Here is your cruel,
who has slain it's kind. Hero is your no.
BILE and grand, who has died for it's kind.
They walk by you. They carry the mark
of their deeds and what will be their
deeds in their faces. Here are nobleness
and meanness and capacity and impo-
tence.
You think of the old civilization that
sank long, long ago into the sea of OBJ
livion. You wonder if they had street
such as this in their town of towns-a
world street that told of the time, and
the tone, and the temper of its civiliza-
ton.
Was there such street in Babylon,
or in Rhages, or in world conquering
Rome? If there was, how did the people
look in it? What was the dominant ex-
preston in their faces? How would they
look If you were to suddenly see them
thronging past you now?
And thus you dream1ly put questions
to yourself, and you think and speculate
as you pass on-on, on in the flow of
this sea of humans; on, on with those
beings who are at once your fellows and
not your fellows. You feel more alone
than if you were in the middle of a
broad desert, for here is taken away
from you some of the sense of your in
dividuality. If you met a stranger in
desert, you might speak to him, but here
you must not. It is not according to the
code. In the desert you may act accord
ing to the sublime code laid down by
Christ; here you must act according to
the vile code laid down by fear, distrust
and the loathsome 1usting after gold.
But still, to be just and fair, there is
another side to man as he hurries along
the Strand, fine side. Note how quick
" he will fly to the assistance of any
one who suddenly meets with an acct
dent. See how he will interfere if any
one is maltreating or robbing another
He will do and help to his utmost. IF
you study man in these grand moments,
You Will like and love and feel proud of
him, paradox though he be.
