RnIn An AId. Irrigation.

There comes seasons like the present
one when early In the summer much
concern |, expressed In regard To
sufficient supply OF irrigating water in

light fall Of snow In the mountains
during the winter months. People who
worry somewhat about these conditions
thus early Ia the season, do not credit
any benefits to the possible rainfnlls
that may come from time 10 time to

BUTLER'S BOND BILL.
The Senate Considers q Measure FOrbiddlng
the Further Issue Of Bonds.

the Further Issue Of Bonds.
Some time ago Senator Butler
(Pop) introduced in the Senate bill to
prohibit the further issue Of bonds. He
has attempted on several occasions to
press it's consideration, but the Senate
never took the matter up with any de-
gree Of eaFnestness until last Friday,
Senator Buffers motion to proceed with
it was adopted by vote Of "a to 90 The
aye votes were given by twelve Repub-
llcans, seventeen Democrats and FIVE
Populists, and the nays by fifteen Re-
publicans and fiye Democrats PETER
voted to consider the bill, and Baker
voted no.
The usual flibustering methods we're
resorted to by Senator Hill He got the
floor and made speech against the bill,
in which he said: "The alleged crime
of 1878 will be as nothing to the crime
which will be perpetrated if this bill
passes and becomes law. 1t 10 bold
proposition to repeal the resumption act,
to repeal the only law which exists for
the redemption Of the paper currency Of
the country. By declaring that for no
purpose whatever shall money be raised
on bonds, this measure is in effect re-
peal of the act of 1875. 1t is a startling
proposition. 1t will simply put in peril
the finances OF the country" The SenR-
tor derided the bill as a "self-confesbed
Populist measure" which "might pass
the Senate, but no Senator believed
that it could pass the House or receive
the approval of the President
"This is plain, bold, open repudlation,"
exclaimed Mr.. Hill, his words ringing
through the chamber. "Repudiation,
the dishonor Of your paper and the dis
honor Of your country is what this meas
ure means. The crime Of '73 pales into
insignlficance beside this contemplated
crime. This measure takes the govern
ment by the throat; it holds up the
treasury"
Mr.. George (Dem, Miss asked why it
was not best to put aside all partisan.
ship, both sides coming together in q
proper relief measure to aid the treas
ury.
Mr.. Sherman was quickly on his feet.
81 say in all seriousness" he said, "that
il this Congress Rdjourns without giving
the treasury relief 1t will be an outrage
and a shame. 1t will be disgrace fall
ing in large part on the Senate. We are
going on like a spendthrift squsndering
his fortune. The Senate refuses to give
the President proper powers for relief.
This measure (the bond prohibition) is
the act Of bankrupt and Of dishonest
bankrupt. Thank God it cannot pass,
for we all know this is merely a moot de-
bate"
Mr.. Sherman said he would appeal to
the leaders of the Democratic party to
shake of the passions of the moment and
take up the tariff bill sent here by the
House which Democratic Senators had
joined the Populists in adding q silver
amendment to, thus killing it.
"If we do not act" concluded Mr..
Sherman, "the President OF the United
States will be justified in calling US
back here by the first Of July to do our
duty"
Mr.. Gray Oem., DELI followed. II
