LEEDY'S IRRIGATION SCHEME.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. Ex-Governor
Leedy that he will present q
scheme to the Nebraska irrigation con-

the arid plains to blossom as the rose.
A 1, 7OO-mile canal from Montana to
Texas is the startling proposition to be
formally made by Governor Leedy to
the coming irrigation congress. The
purpose of the canal would be to divert
the flood waters of the Mississippi and
Missouri valleys, impound them and let
them down when wanted. The canal
would tap the Missouri river at Milk
river, in Montana, and empty into Red
river, in Texas.
The governor maintains, incidentally,
that the cost would be only 1880. 600. 600.

 An Experience Tint FoIio,s sd 2 Call at
 Night
 Four or i've physicians were talking up town tho other evening at the homo of one, and tho conversation later turned to shop Ono of them had recently moved his office down town, and there was some discussion as to the 8dvisabil- ity of separating house and office.
 Well, , said the separatist, I can't see any difference SO long as I am at my office during office hours. U
 Let me tell you a story, remarked tho oldest man in the party. Thirty years ago, when l began practice, lived in Virginia and for year or two I slept in my office. Then I married, and my wife owned q nice house, and I went to it to live. 1t sat back from the street about 90 feet, and we decided that it would bo much nicer if wo had my office out on the street iii tho far corner of the lot. Only 50 feet away, you will ob- serve, but still it was enough. In order to see such callers as came during the night l had night bell and q speaking tube connecting the front door of the office with my bedroom. You sec, did not want pationt 10 escape under any circumstances
 Well, everything went nicely enough for three years or so, when ono night ring came to my bell. It was then about 3 o'clock i'll the morning, and tho ring was a hot one I asked who 1t was, and tho answer came from a friend of mine to the effect that he was a mighty sick man and wanted to sec mo at onco, l told him to come around to the house and I would meet him at the door and take eafe of him. Then 1 got up, and, putting on my dressing gown and slip DOTS, proceeded to the front deer BHt there was no one there and DO ono ii sight on tho way between the gate and the house.
 "That was odd, and I went back and called through the tube to know what was wrong. l received no answer, and, being quite unable to nccount for it, took my lamp--if was a very dark and still night-and started to go out and investigate Just as I was about to stop off the porch I lowered my lamp to get better light ell tho step, and there at the foot of tue porch lay body. I turned it oyer it once, and as tho light fell on the faco ] SAW it was my friend who had only aminuto before spoken to mo. Ho was quite dead And when an examination was mado, it was discovered that ho had died of heart disease, and so near to me that I could almost have touched him Possibly I could not have been of any service to him if had seen him when ho first rang tho bell, but the possibility that I might so affected mo that from that day to this l havo had my office as near my bed as could got it "-Exchange.

Aiming For Two Reforms.

In France a lady with tho suspioiously Teutonio name of Sohmahl is tho head and front of the agitation for women s rights Oddly enough, Mime. Sehmahl is an English woman born and bred, her permanent residence in France having only been during tho last ten years. However, neither nationality, race nor creed offers any serious obstacle to fem intne cooperation in the task of winning ecaality with man. As chief supporter of L'Avant Courriere, Mime. Sehmahl has succeeded in annexing, as other supporters, two ladies who are as widely apart as tho poles i'll religious sympathy and social status. One of these is the dowager Duchess q Uzes, an aristocrat and fervent Roman Catholic. while the other is Mme Sarah Monod, mem bor of well known Calvinistie family at Geneva Their programme is limited to two reforms, which they may hope to compass in one legislative session. namely, the right of women to act as witnesses to all legal documents and tho protection of tho earnings of wife from her husband s interference.

-,SOM.g OF THEIR FATHERS
[ lMemnhls sclmItar.

President-eleet Mckinley has one trouble confronting him which . Democrat in his position would es- cape. That is the personal and political importantly Of Sons of their Fathers. The fathers having been Republicans, their offsprings have recourse to Presidents of that sort, asd give Presidents of another sort the benefit Of their room, which is generally conceded to be prefera- ble to their company.
 First and foremost thete is Col Fred Grant, the rather stupid son of the General. Since he was pulled through West Point by the scrulT of the neck there has not been a day which he was not either holding or hustling for some office on the score of his fathers name. For some time past he has been Q Police Ccmmis- sioner in New York City at fat salary, but no sooner was Mckin- ley's election announced than this dccendent told the newspapers that he would accept place in the new cabinet, if it should be offered him. Then he posted to Canton to con- gratuIate the Major and incidently 10 inform him that Barkis was will. in The Major said he'd think of it He did so and the more he thought of il the more he was convinced that the Colonel could serve the new ad- ministration best in his present position-far, far away.
 Following the Colonels example, aIson ofEGar6eld hied himself to the Majors abode and put himelf on re- view. He wanted most any good thing on the bargain counter. Then came a son of Hayes, to exhibit his paces under the Majors eye. The particular thing he wanted is not yet known, but it may be later on. Then Allan Arthur, son of the for mer President, who resides in Lon don in order to enjoy the sweets of high sassiety, remembered that he was American-born and condescend- ed to apply for diplomatic posi- tion. Last of all, not exactly in the ex-Presidential family class, but claiming preferment on the same ground of fathership, we find John A. Logan's hopeful son putting in claim to the Austrian mission. Logan is a horse trader and knows enough to keep a balance on the

THE LOUD BiLL.

The GRAPHIC is decidedly in favor of the Loud Bill, which has passed the lower House of Congress and is now pending in the Senate. This bill seeks to prevent the indiscriminate use of the mails for flake" sample copies and the abuse of tho second class privileges by circulating libraries and yellow backed novels. It is in the interest of the legitimate publisher and the establised news paper with a boaa .fde circulation. During 1.-the last few years the second-class mail matter privilege has been wonderfully abused. The amount of second-class matter has grown to 3iS, 9S8, ,84S pounds annual ly, the rate for which is one-cent a pound, and the cost of transporta- tion of which IS seven and one-half cents pound. The difference be- tween one cent and seven and one half.cents, therefore, re presents aloss of six and ore half cents pound to ,the sGovernment. It twas original ly intended that this privilege should apply to only newspaper and magazines with a aa .ade cireula. ton, and the low rate was estab- lished for the better dissemination of information and knowledge, but the law has been perverted n it's use by advertising pamphlets, serial libraries, paper backed novels and other "cheap john literature (2) until it has become q burden to the Government "a mere instrument of "fake publications with no re gular subscription 0list, to Haunt their advertisements in the faces oi people who neither seek nor desire them.
 The GRAPHIC has number of times been requested by syndicate publishers to protest against the passage of this bill, and we observe with regret that in a few instances these publishers of "cheap john lit erature have succeeded in deluding some of the country press, but after an investigation of the question the GRAPHIC is thoroughly in accord with the Loud Bill.
 If the publishers Of the yellow backs want to use the mails for mercantile purposes, let them pay the merchandise rate of eight cents per pound. They are entitled to no rights whatever under the pro visions of the law for second-class mail matter. Ae therefore hope to see the Loud Bill pass the Senate, as it has passed the House, and we trust Senators Jones and Berry will perform the distinguish ed service for their country of voting for it.
