Quite Too Liberal.

A press dispatch of this morning re-
calls the fact that, early in the present
session of congress. Mr. Gamble,
troduced bill providing for the award
to each state of one million acres of
land to be disposed of as the legisla-
ture i'm each state may elect, the pro-
ceeds to be used for irrigation purposes.
The bill never attracted general atten-
ton in this region-we have no idea
what sort of land is TO be awarded or
what value the proposed gift might
represent
The interesting portion Of the dis
patch is the sentence which says that
the department of the interior at Wash
one better. it's recommendation to the
house committee on public lands being
that every acre of arid land in arid
land states be turned over TO those
states for irrigation.
We can believe that the department
most troublesome question, is prepared
to press the recommendation on the at
tention of the house Mr.. Hoke Smiths
Office evidently is willing to overwhelm
the arid-land states with alleged bene-
fits. Frequently. in recent times, plans
for federal aid in the treatment of the
arid region have been agitated. al
though congress never warmed up "a
the subject. That the gift which the
department of the interior wants tc
4 bestow would be a white elephant, goes
| without saying. The serious question
! has been whether the federal govern
ment, with its wealth of resources
would dare to undertake the work OF
| irrigation in the arid regions. What
would the young comonwealths of the
| Northwest do with the problem?

Sherman in he Way.

Yesterday the Cuban question was
brought before the senate through the
agency Of a resolution introduced by
Senator Cameron. The dispatches say
that this resolution quoted the language
Of the presidents message in reference
TO the war on the island.
our memory is that Mr.. Clcveland's
December message was cold comfort
for the struggling Cubans. Friends of
the insurgents had hoped that the pres
ident would cordially recommend the
recognition Of helligerent rights for the
patriots whom Spain is trying To crush;
there were those who believed that the
president would go even so far as 10
say a friendly word for cuban annexa-
tion 70 the United States.
President cleveland intlmated moth
ing Of the sort In his message he re-
marked that Spain had made proper
apologies for uKlawfUl acts involving
American shipping: that the disposition
Of certain individuals in this country
was covertly 10 help the Cuhans. that
this sort Of conduct would not do. and
that. whatever may be the traditional
sympathy Of our countrymen as indiv-
iduals with a people who seem TO be
struggling for larger autonomy and
greater freedom, yet the plain dyty Of
this government is to observe in good
faith the recognized obligations Of in
ternationaI relationship"
II appears that the long words with
which this quotation ends have fingered

Name FIR Berlin.

If his name is anything to go by, this
country's new ambassador at the court
of Kaiser William is of German de-
scent Mr.. Uhl halls from Michigan.
He is the pride Of the Grand Rapids
heart. That city is his home. he has
been its mayor. The district OF which
Grand Rapids is a part has repeatedly
offered to elect Mr. Uhl to membership
in congress hands down, but although
he possessed the means needed for
leisure in politics. he would not have it,
During the presidential campaign Of
1892. Mr.. Uhl rustled hard for Cleve-
land. He went into the department of
state as Secretary Gresham's first
assistant; Mr. Olney inherited him.
According to all accounts. Mr.. Uhl Will
go to Berlin with the presumption in
the public mind that he's a good man
for the place. As soon as the announce
ment of Ambassador Runyon's death
was made. gossip selected him for the
vacancy. Yesterday the president sent
the Michigan mans name to the senate,
and his nomination was promptly con-
firmed.
There is little for an ambitious man
in an assistant secretaryship in the
cabinet circle Now that this country
is likely to have important foreign rela-
lions. Mr.. Uhl may find his oppor-
tunity. II things come his way he may
approach the reputation Of that other
Michigan man, Lewis Cass, who won
fame in diplomacy, who made all Eng
land mad when he was this country's
minister at Paris. who ventured on an
unsuccessful run for the presidency and
wanted to try it again. and who closed
his career as Mr.. Buchanan's secretary

Law and the Bruisers.

II word comes along one Of these fine
DAYS that Maher and Fitzsimmons
have met and had it out, diplomacy
must blush. statgsmanship will weep,
and Attorney General Harmon Will re-
eret an incident that dims the luster
of his career in his office on Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
According to the assurances given by
Mr.. Romero. Mexican minister at
Washington. a meeting in the prize
ring is simply out Of the question with
in the domain Of President Porfirio
Diaz The minister says that the au-
thorities of the state Of Chihuahua
have resolved that the fight shall not
take place, that It will not be neces-
sary to wait until the bruisers actually
go at one another but that, according
70 the way they do il in Chihuahua,
the pugilists can be run in on satisfac-
tory evidence that they intend TO fight
and that the whole band of spectators
can be corraled along with them. Mr..
Romero's prediction is that the aggre-
CATION will be arrested as soon as its
members show up on Mexican soil.
Governor Culberson is up and at IT,
He declares that the fight shall not be
on Texas territory. 1t is said that
troops from the post at san Antonio
have been moved to El Paso, to be on
hand for the protection Of neutral
ground. Governor Culberson says that
as long as Texas rangers hold out the
prize-ring shall get no show within hi.
dominions. That is firm talk, but the
news yesterday morning was thai
Texas rangers who had been sent L
see that the fight was stopped, finding
no mill in progress concluded to hans

happened to be pulled off.

There are no limitations to the sto-
ries told in eastern newspapers i'm
reference to the senatorial contest in
Kentucky. In Boston the press had it
last week that the democrats had
evolved a scheme to defeat the repuh-
Leans and that it would be made
effective within forty-eight hours. In
New York the gossip was that the
republicans had a plan to win on; and
the news that reached the Northwest
about deputies and soldiers and all that
sort of thing was sent broadcast 10 the
country.
ON several occasions. Congressman
Hunter. the republican candidate. has
been within two votes Of the total
necessary to choice. Yesterday he
came within one vote of an election. \
deadlock in kentucky is predicted;
more reasonable guess is that Hunter
will capture the senatorship. Evident

out to the end. He cannot be elected
the democrats who are wasting their
strength on McCreary, Carlisle and
other fgureheads will never come to
Blackburn. These democrats belong to
the cuckoo contingent. In harmony
with the sentiment that prevailed in
Kentucky last November, these admin
istration people would prefer the tri-
umph Of a republican rather than the
election OF any advocate OF free coinage.
The white house ring continues To

Probably this ring may yet be able to

question is in the depths Of Mr.. Sher-
mans committee, and there it viii re-
main forever. or as long. at least. as he
has any say about ii. little thing like
a ten-year old rebellion in Cuba wouldn't
bother Mr.. Sherman; If there were any
thing in il for goldbugs at home and
abroad. he would be promptly on deck
with it-but the fighting Cubans are
poor.
Several times since Christmas, Sena-
tor Call has tried hard 70 get hearing
for the Cuban question, but he always
fails. His committee relations leave
him to look after woman suffrage. fish
cries, patents and the like; he is not a
member of Mr.. Sherman's foreign rela-
lions committee. 1t appears that Mr..
Cameron has picked up Cuba's iiag-he
makes the proposition that the end of
the conflict involves self-government
for Cuba and he suggests the tender of
our governments friendly Offices to-
ward bringing about that result In
turn. Mr.. Cameron's duties relate to the
navy, and to revolutionary claims.
However, he is also a member of the
committee on foreign relations. The
senator from Pennsylvania may be able
to forestall Mr. Sherman, but that is
