effect that "the creation of any obstruc-
ton not aitlFmatively authorized by law,
TO the uavigabIe capacity of any waters.
in respect of which the United States has
jurisdiction, is hereby prohibited" in
tend to encroaoh upon the doctrine pre-.
viously established in 1865 by an act of
congress which provided that the waters
of streams in the arid regions of the west
could be diverted for beneficial pur-
poses. The court takes the ground that
there was no such intention on the part
of congress, and that tho late enactment
which seemingly reverses the law of 1866
in reality does not apply at all TO the arid
sections of the west.
The decision of Judge Bantz settles
another mooted question to the effect
that under our treaty with Old Mexico,
the people of the ceded territory have the
fullest rights to make the greatest posi-
BILE use of the waters flowing through
such ceded territory, and further that if
such waters are diverted and prevented
from passing down the bed of the river
the country which ceded said territory
cannot bject.

BEET SUGAR BOUNTY.

IF Senator Allison's beet sugar bounty
proposition had been called up earlier in
the session, the chances are that it would
have passed. About the only opposition
seems to come from the fact that the SEES.
sion is nearing its close, and that there is
no time for anything but hurried con-
sderation of the tariff bill.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, had another
reason for objeoting to the proposed
bounty. He thinks that all bounty legis-
lation in this country has resulted in dis
aster, though it is not quite clear what he
meant by that. When in the history of
American legislation has disaster fol
lowed the enactment of bounty law?
Senator Jones should be more specific,
but he is fond of dealing in generalities
and in the present instance he has fol.
lowed his usual method of argument.
The only object of a bounty is to en-
courage and stimulate the production OF
certain article of commerce. In the
present instance which relates to the pro-
duction of sugar beets, it is difficult to
understand how bounty would bring
about disaster. On the other hand it
would be q potent inducement in the
production of an article of consumption
that has been too long neglected in this
country. This country may as well pro-
! duce its own sugar as to purchase it from
Germany. The thing is to get the in
dustry under way. A good many people
seem to be under the impression that
sugar cannot be successfully produced il
this country This comes to great ex'
tent from repeated failures in growing
the beets throughout the New England
states. That the crop has failed here
there can be no question, but it is equal
lp certain that it has been demonstrated
big success in many sections of the
west notably in New Mexico and Cali
fornia. New England is not quite all OF
the United States, the opinion OF Yankee
land to the contrary notwithstanding.
The west can produce successfully sugar
beets and there are many sections that
desire TO engage in the industry. For
the people of those sections bounty
would be a great inducement to strenuous
efforts along the lines indicated. It
would not harm or Inconvenience the
people of other sections who have no di-
rect interest in the infant industry. On
the whole bounty would be an excellent
thing, and Mr.. Allison's proposition
ought to become law.

JUDGE BANTz' DECISION.

The decision of Judge BaUtz in the in-
junction case of the United States VS.. The
Rio Grande Dam & Navigation company
ct al, which was handed down at Silver
City on last Friday evening, after hear
ing covering several days, was not snr-
prise to those who have followed this
unique case from it's inception. 1t was
clear enough from the first that the con-
tention of the government was not based
upon sound reasoning, and that there
could be but one outcome Of the trial.
Judge Bantz held that even had the Rio
Grande been nayigable stream, which
everybody knows is not so, the acts of
congress- forbidding the obstruction Of
streams and the diversion of water there
from, never applied to the arid regions
OF the west. This exception was most
probably a recognition OF the necessi-
ties of irrigation in the development
OF the arid sections of the west
ern country. But whatever the cause the
law remains and its intent in the mat
ter is clear enough. The court further
held that through our treaties with Mex
loo, Americans have not surrendered the
right to divert water from the Rio Grande,
which is not a navigable stream either
actually or technically. Here was the
great question upon which the arguments
Of both sides hinged. Did congress by
its enactment Of 1890, which was to the

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

"The past week in the market for Sc
dictionary movement in prices" says the
Weekly Financial Review Issued by the
banking house of Henry Clews e. Co., Of
35 Wall street, New York City.
After steady upward drift, extending
over some weeks and showing hand
some range of profits, this is no more
than might be expected; and, for various
reasons, it portends advantage for the fu-
ture course of the market
Strong rs the tone of values has been
and still ia, yet the market has lacked
breadth and activity, the daily transac-
tions having averaged only about 100000
shares. AS indicated in our advices Of
last week, this ia in considerable meas
ure due to Il rush of "outside" buying
having run away with the market and
carried up prices, while the class of large
local operators have been left in the
lurch and have refused to come in ct the
higher range of values.
The general business outlook grows in
creasingly hopeful. Many manufacturers
are already sufficiently satisfied with the
probable details of the new tariff to be-
gin operations upon an extended scale,
and in the larger Industries the resump-
tion of full work is becoming compare
lively general. In city mercantile circles
also marked improvement of tone be-
gins to appear. 1t comes too late to ma
terially increase the volume of the sum-
mer business; but 1t ia having whole
some effect upon the confidence and ex-
pectations of distributors in respect to
the fall trade. The reports and orders
sent by commercial travellers chow such
an improvement that they are receiving
instructions to prolong their stay in the
interior; all of which goes to strengthen
mercantile expectations as to the volume
of trade during the second half of the
year. Ginning with this Improvement,
comes the generally hopeful character of
the government crop reports, which are
even exceeded by the sanguine tenor of
the advices from railroad officials and
men of business on tours of inspection
in the west and south. Men of business
are turning their attention from the still
fretful agitation Of politics, III the con-
viction that two years remain to them
before there can be any absorption of
public attention by factional agitators,
and with the hope that, during that in
terval, public opinion will frown down
violent issues aud support only safe and
wholesome politics, the revival of
business will powerfully contribute to-
wards that tendency.
During the week, there has been a
marked movement towards ease in for

eien exchanges. The large remittanoes
required for cash settlements for anti
cipatory mportatIons of sugar, wool,
hides, etc, and fer the payment of July
interest on our securities held abroad, as
we'll as on account of travellers credits,
are now about over, and rates for for
eign bills have consequently fallen below
the gold export point, SO that no ship
ments of the metal have been made dur
ing this week. This has had az en-
couragiug effect upon Wall street; for al
though, with our present stocks of gold,
we could afford TO part with more if neo-
essary, yet We are likely to need a good
stock of money in the banks, as the
probabilities point to important trans
feres of currency TO the interior after this
month in connection with q liberal crop
movement at relatively good prices.
