"CIIE CiNEMN

The deep. passionate interest which some OF
our esteemed contemporaries have shown IN
the appearance and disappearance Of one vel
low dog Of uncertain ancestry and private
character. but OF easily determined tooth for
ma ion. Is not without justification I'm these
parlOus times. In old Roman days such
portent would have been the occasion Of the
College Of Augurs meeting and passing a few
resolutions. This dog who smiled a cheerful
Gave Cancm' from Mr.. Lows front stoop,
was no ordinary dog. Your common. every
day canine. who rctres with his grOwl into Il
reverberant barrel, takes his maXllary eXcr-
else in moderation. He Is content with the leg
of the occasional and sporadic tramp. The calf
OF the feetng bicycst may tempt him. This
yellow brute. however. worked his Jaws over
time, and showed no discrimination In their
employment He broke all the precedcns OF
journalism. and, in the innocence and exuber-
ance OF his youth showed noisy interest In
the trousers legs OF reporters who came to visit
the candidate. The latter was n unifying
force. and 1t was with pain and masticated
trousers legs that the jOurna lists were called
rpOn to point our the inconsistency OF his ma in
tanning dog who was dsunifying force. Ii
Is not alleged that ne ever caused dsunion be-
tween any journalist and his lower members
but he signilicd HIS Willingness, and his capac
ity was undoubted.
1t is no wonder that the newspaper men con-
ceived great respect for the person Of the
canine. and spread his fame abroad with all
the skill Of their practised pens. But alas!
whom the journalists make famous oft enjoy
but brief notoriety. Mr.. Lows yellow dog IL

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS-.

The sixth annual session Of the National
Irrigation Congress, just ended at Lincoln.
Neb., seems to have been marked by practi-
caity and singleness Of purpose not often en-.
Countered in the proceedings Of similar assem-
blages in the far West. Congresses called in
that section Of the country for the promotion
Of specific local interests have too often in re-
cent years allowed themselves to be diverted
from their true purposes to an irrelevant and
nimless discussion Of issues which have no
place outside the realm of politics. Mining
and agricultural conventions in the thirteen
States which sent delegates 10 the Lincoln
congress have rarely failed stree 1890 to pro-
mitigate the virtues Of some purely political
pauacea like free silver coinage as the sole
remedy for existing industrial depression and
the true Regeneration Of local and National pros
perity. Yet though William j. Bryan. the sur
viving champion of the delusiOn which In the
mining and agricultural States has so long
linked questions Of pure politics with those Of
practical progress was invited to address and
did address the Irrigation Congress. the dele
gates were not to De diverted by his suggestive
and engaging eloquance from strict attention

Like the recent Farmers Congress which met
at ST. Paul and sternly set its face against the
Endorsement of the political programme which
certain Populistic elements in the body sought
TO force upon 1t, the gathering at Lincoln SEN
sibly eschewed all discussion Of partisan
issues and devoted itself TO an exchange Of
views on the best means for fcrtilizing the
rainless plains Of the far West by a general
system of reservoir storage and irrigation. In
the discussion OF this problem n l. W and graft
fylng spirit of local confidence and self-hep
made itself apparent. spriugng. doubtless.
from a settled recognition Of the fact that the
success Of all local irrigation projects is de-

intervention Of some outside agency like IN"

haps when. with IN enormous and increasing
surplus in the National Treasury. the West
might have been justly tempted to look to Col

Of oeomargarine for the fiscal year lo9O-o'
showed a marked decrease from that OF the
previous year. The falling off amounted TO
over 1000. 900 pounds: while since 1894 the sales
OF this particular butter substitute have de-
clined by over 24O00OOO pounds, or nearly 80
per cent. Hostile legislation Is named az the
main cause OF diminished production and sale;
but It Is to be hoped that an improved public
taste has had something 10 do with the de-
