THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
Starting the Boom for Successful
 Meeting in December.

In the course of an extensive article upon the Features of Irrigation" published in the March issue of the Rural Californian, Chairman E. R. Moses of the National Irrigation com m,ttee, says:
 q would like to see the next Nation al Irrigation congress (which is to be held in Phoenix, Arizona, about De- eember l, 1S96) the largest and most enthusiastic ever held. I would like
 to see representatives from Oregon, Washington, North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Texas, Georgia and Florida, in attendance. I mention these es- pecially because irrigation bills have already been introduced covering con ditions prevailing in some. of these states. We want ito give you assist ance and you can give this cause help. We want to come for business first and then have a round of pleasures next, for can assure the delegates
 who come to this next congress at irrigation where it can be seen tn it's incipient ito its perfected state, they will be highly entertained Tn a man. her that is peculiar to the broad heart ed, liberal minded people of Arizona l would like to see every state and ter ritorial delegation come clearly in- formed with just what they want of the federal congrass~and then I would like to see the next irrigation congress
 embody these wants in it's address to the country or in a bill Cor bills) in proper shape and form, to be intro duced in the next house of representa-
 tives and senate of the United States for passage as coming directly from the National Irrigation congress of the United States of America.
 s'Let everyone Interested in irriga- tion talk irrigation, write irrigation
 and read irrigation. If you don't take an Irrigation journal subscribe now for one. How can you irrigate if you do
 not know how? And how can you learn without reading and observation,
 without discussion and investigation? The time for an active irrigation cam paign is now. Read all the literature you can secure treating on this great l question and fall into line to carry 1 the good work to successful issue '' In the same connection the Tucson
 Star says: "The National Irrigation
 congress is the most important event
 which will occur on the Pacific coast during the present year and this event
 will take place in Arizona, and at the | capital thereof. IL is most important
 that our people appreciate the i'm portance of this congress will be to
 Arizona and to the cause of irrigation, l for there is no subject which should 1 interest Arizona more than the recla- nation of our arid lands. The people of Phoenix in particular and the ter
 ritory in general, should be active in
 their preparation for this important event"

sf --s7@ ' s'- THE WAY IT WORKS.

The wool trade of this country is
 just now in 2 most unsatisfactory con- dition. In speaking of the matter the Boston Bulletin says; 'sThei whole trade is steeped in issagaation ito the lips. The curious phenomenon of ad- vancing foreign markets ana declining domestic in the same market at the same time is due to the fact that American wools have no foreign out let" .-.>
 This causes curious commentaries upon the assertions of those who up- hold the perilous workings of the Wilson tariff law with it's free wool features. The claim was made. every where and greatly emphasized that free trade in wool would materially enlarge our foreign market, but the theory has not sustained by practi- cal test thereof. The Wilson tariff measure has been in operation for two years, but instead of enlarging our foreign markets for this staple and the products thereof it has seriously contracted them. The complaint is being made that American wools have no foreign outlet and as one of our congressman said in a speech, regard ing the matter, this is a rather severe arraignment of our Democratic tariff tinkeres from non-political stand

PURIFYING THE PRIMARIES.

A fine question with regard to pri- mary elections has been raised in some of the New York counties where rule was laid down that no Republican should be allowed to enroll or vote at primaries if he had voted the ticket of any opposition party since the last gubernatorial election. It will be re- membered that in New York many Republicans voted for the independent municipal reform ticket at the last election.
 Chairman Carter. of the National committee, says that all who believe in Republican principles and endorse the Republican party should be al lowed to vote at Republican primaries The New York case shows, of course, that any rules adopted for primaries must be based on common sense and broad eQulty, or an lnJuSLlce may cas- fly be done.
 What is wanted is men to superin- tend the Republican primaries who have knowledge, judgment and hon. esty to reject all voters who are really spurious and are known Democrats Stringent bribery laws and unflinch- ing enforcement of them alone can in- sure purity at the primaries, while the penalty should be severe against men who vote in precincts where they are non-residents, who vote more than at all

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE ..- WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair, Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods. but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits"

Since it has been determined, if pos sible, to make John G. Carlisle the Democratic candidate for the presiden- cy, the secretary of tlhe treasury has undertaken ito explain away the fact that in 1893 he refused to pay out sil- yer in exchange for other forms of cur rency when it was demanded. His ex- plantation is found in letter to Josiah questions propounded. by that gentle man regarding the circumstance. As Josiah Patterson is an uncompromis- ing goldbug and doesn't care a straw if MT. Carlisle should never pay out any silver for any purpose whatever, it is evident that the correspondence was gotten up for the purpose of get ting the matter before the public. While the secretary does not say 50 in so many words, he leaves the infer ence that the currency presented for redemption in silver was greenbacks. The excuse which he offers is that there was no coined silver certificates and Sherman notes. He neglects to call attention to the fact that the req son for this scarcity of silver dollars was that their coinage had been stopped. If there were no available silver dollars why didn't he coin some? There was an abundance of bullion on hand. The hints could probably have l kept up with the demand. The Car 1 lisle theory, when carried to its logi- cal conclusion, would necessiItate hay ing in the treasury at all times an amount of coined silver equal to all the silver certificates and Sherman notes outstanding and also an amount of coined gold equal to all the paper currency of every kind. MT. Carlisle's explanation is too f1imsy. It will not deceive anybody.
