Cuba in 1898 $102, 1854, 204; in 1896,

A free Monongahela has been delay

desire Of the treasury officials that the
appropriation Of $4,000, 900 shall go
into next years fiscal operations in
stead Of being charged up in this

humbug like this our coal men have
been pretty heavily taxed; at least
those OF them who did not get the

The report that the cadets at the
University would be uniformed out
Of the funds appropriated for the
National Guards, is without founda-
ton. The University authorities
would be glad to divert the funds to
that end, but the Adjutant General,
while in hearty sympathy with the
movement to encourage the cadets
has no idea Of crippling the Guard
to accomplish it. The Guardsmen
over the State will give cordial
support to any measure that will in
crease interest in the cadet corps
and will urge, with what influence
It can command, the Importance Of
giving more liberal appropriation
for that parpose, but they are too
poor at this time to make much Of d
donation from their already too
scxnty funds Indsr.

defective, and as a consequence the
validity of the bonds issued has been
questioned, and those issued by some
districts have been declared null.
Further than this irresponsible men have
sometimes been put in charge of the busi-
ness, and they have not been wise in
laying out irrigation works, nor econom-
ical in construction; and therefore more
bonds have been issued than were really
necessary.
The supreme court in the decision al
luded to holds that the directors of irri-
cation districts under the act of 1889 may
go into court and have the validity of the
organization proceedings inquired into
before the issue and sale of bonds. If
directors In all cases will take this step
there need be no further question as to
the validity of the bonds, and it will
be safeguard against such abuses as
have been committed in the past.
The object of the Wright law is to pre-
vent monopoly in water, and to commun-
ize it's use. There is water enough in
the state to place under cultivation large
additional areas, but it must be so util-
lied as to prevent waste. The recent de-
cision will materially assist in the de-
velopment of irrigation through a wise
and economical system.

PRINCIPLES OF SILVER REPUB-
LICANS

An erroneous impression is prevalent
that Silver Republicans are one idea
men. Their platform of principles in
cludes not only free and unlimited COIN
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to l, wheth-
er other nations consent or not, but
much more.
They are for "a thoroughly American
policy for the sole benefit of the Amer
ican people and such vigorous reetric-
tions upon foreign immigration as will
remove it's menace to American labor"
They are foes of trusts, monopoly and
all manner of combinations that inter
fere with the welfare and happiness Of
the masses, and declare in favor of
'such radical legislation, both national
and state as will effectually rid our coun-
try of the present and increasing domi
nance of trusts, corporations and COM
bines, which now throttle our industries
and stifle all competition, and also such
as will protect the field of American pol
itics and the elective franchise of our
citizens against the encroachments of
organized. wealth"
They do not propose to confire their
efforts to national and state politics. but
to take direct and active part in NUM-
cipal affairs, and, hence they declare in
favor of "better city government the
election to municipal office of noDe but
representative citizens the municipal
ownership as far as practicable of all
public utilities the strictest enforceme ent
of all laws and ordinances, and the en-
ployment of none but American citiZens
on public works"
These principles are all far in ad-
vance of those of the Republican party
especially as exemplified in legislation
and administration. It is not on the
money question: simply that Silver Re-
publicans have broken away from their
former associates, but in regard to poll
cies of vital Importance to the country
While The Heraldis Democratic news
paper, we deem it public duty to give
due credit to all who are advancing the
cause of reform through practical and
sensible methods. The Silver Republic

an intention to vigorously work for the
success of their principles

RAILROADING IN ALASKA

1t is not impossible that should the
Klondyke gold diggings make perma-
nent their present rich promises, the
next extensive railway BUILDING that IS
done in this country will be in Alaska.
1t would of necessity be a summer rail-
way, after the fashiona Bile resorts style.
and tariffs would be ou a corresponding
scale; but the dangers and the expense
of the trip to the Arctic circle would lot
be nearly so great as they are now.

tion with this fascinating proposition.

times as large as the state of New York.

other kind of road. There are two long,
expensive and dangerous routes con-

AS to Lies

If you must lie, do it artistically.
A business lie may be pretty thing to
look at but unsafe to handle.
Is business lie ever justifiable? I
would like to hear from some of the ex-
perts. I know lot of them.
If you lie to customer, and the clerk
knows it, has the clerk a warrant for
falsifying to you?
I know youngster who said: Dad
licks me when I tell lie. 1 want to
grow up 80 1 will have a right to tell lies
same as he does"
Can man be a good deacon In a
church and at the same time a good
salesman?
Where does the line come in between
business diplomacy and outright false
hood?
A good deal may be said about the ad-
vantages of always telling the truth.
Can anything be said on the other side ?

PRELIMINARY LEGAL TEST

The supreme court of the state has re-
Gently rendered decision that has an
important bearing on the irrigation sys-
tenn created by the Wright law and the
amendatory and subsidiary acts. The
question of the constitutionality of the
law has been finally disposed of by not
only the state courts but by the supreme
court Of the United States. All these
courts have pronounced it constitutional.
The large powers conferred on the di-
rectors of irrigation districts and their
frequent and reckless abuse rendered the
law unpopular. The principle of the
law IL correct, but its execution has been
50 loose and oppressive that great
amotint Of dissatisfaction has resulted.
