WoRKINGMEN's LESSONS.

The Cincinnati Enquirer furnishes a
tabulated statement of the employed
and unemployed of that city, divided
into the several trades, including skilled
and unskilled operatives in factories,
male and female. The total I'M
employed runs w to 10000. This is
tantamount to saying that three times
that number of people are suffering by
reason of the enforced idleness OF the
wage earners of Cincinnati, and it
would not be missing the mark to say
that this number embraces about one
third of the entire population of the
Ohio metropolis.
The American mechanic is the most
skilled artisan in the world and his
capability for production is greater
than that of the foreign workman by
reason of his intelligence. But while
he thoroughly understands his machine
ne unwittingly leaves his politics to the
politicians, and this has brought about
the condition presented in Cincinnati
When he begins to reason from effect
to cause there may be hope that the
lessons of experience will not be alto
gether profitless. With a band of mu-
sic in front of him as he marched up
McKinley's lawn in Canton, there
seemed to be inspiration in the voice
from the veranda, which declared that
prosperity meant to open the mills in
stead Of the minis. The mills have not

IRRIGATION IN TEXAS.

Most al of the western portion of
the state of Texas is composed of arid
land. For sometime the people resid-
ing in that portion of the state have
been endeavoring to secure from the
state legislature authority to construct
and maintain irrigation reservoirs and
canals.
1t seems that the constitution of the
state prohibits the creation of a pub
lie debt for irrigation or other similar
purposes. The last legislature author
lied the submission of an amendment
to the people, which was defeated last
week
This amendment provided that it
should be lawful for the land owners
southwest and northwest of the coun-
ties of Montague, Wise, Parker, Hood.
Somerville, Bosque, Coryell. Bell, Will
hanson, Travis, Blanco, Gillespie, Co
NAL, Guadalupe, Gonzales, De Witt,
Goliad, Victoria and Calhoun to or
ganise irrigation districts without re-
gard to county lines; to construct ir-
rigation works and perfect all arrange
ments, including acquisition of ripar-
ian rights, by creating an Indebtedness
of not more than SIS an acre to be Sc
cured by a lien on the irrigable land;
and to issue bonds of forty wears or
less at an interest not exceeding 6 per
cent, salable at not less than par
To liquidate these bonds tax might
be levied in proportion to the acreage
of all irrigable lands affected by the
proposed system; and in addition a tax
is to be levied on these lands for the
maintenance of the irrigation works,
and TO defray the expenses of tax col
lection.
This was wise provision, and should
have been adopted. 1t is said the peo-
pie in the eastern part of the state,
where they have plenty of rain, voted
against the proposition because they
feared the competition of the farmers
in the west if they were able to bring
the vast tracts of arid land under Gull
tivatiop.

THE CAMPAIGN IN OHIO.

In magnitude and completeness
nothing like the campaign which is
about to be started in Ohio by Sena-
tor NJ. A. Hanna and his friends. and
by the Democrats, has ever been waged
except in the case of q presidential
election. Secretary Charles F. Dick of
the Republican national committee has
outlined the programme of the Repub-
leans 1t can be likened to the trans
fer of all the forces arrayed through
out the entire country in the lSryan-
Mckinley campaign into the single
state of Ohio. No effort will be spared
to carry the state for the Republican
ticket.
The campaign says Major Dick,

dent of Ohio, and every voter viii be

1t remains to be seen whether such
tremendous efforts will avail in the
triumph of Hanna in The flee OF the
fact that labor troubles, general dis

pointed hopes of prosperity are obsta-
cles which cannot be explained away

a contemporary complains that The
Herald is not willing to grant any con-
sideration to silver Republicans who
vote with the Democrats. The consid-
Grafton that most silver Republicans
want is the restoration of silver to its
proper place, and when they vote with
the Democrats it is because the Demo-
Gratis have declared for free coinage,
and the Republicans have declared
against it. The great mass of silver
advocates in this country are Demo-
Gratis, therefore, it does not SAVIOR very
much of the broad guage principle in
politics TO insist that the silver Re-
publicans who compose but a minor
ity portion of the silver forces, should
have the selection of the candidate
for United States senator in this state,
and more especially when, as in this
instance, the Democrats are possessed
of ample material from which to choose
q candidate who will be in every way
equal TO the emergency. The silver
Republicans as a rule are not asking
this. All they want is a chance to, re-
cord their votes where they will count
most for the cause.

One of The Herald's cartoons seems
to have struck a responsive chord at
Park City. The Record says: Sun
days Salt Lake Herald had a dandy
cartoon Illustrative of the respective
strength of Pat Lannan and Arthur
Brown with the present administra-
ton. Mckinley is seated in a chair
with Brown pulling for dear life at one
of his legs and Lannan at the other,
and from the length of the legs, Brown
appears to have a whole lot the best of
it. The cartoon gives a better idea of
the situation among the goldbug Re
publicans in Utah than could be con-
veyed in a ten-column writeup.'

when Tom pullel three silver half dol

..Seven times he did this and seven
times he won the pot. At the begin
ming of the eighth deal he had $500 In
front of him, and the others were dis
posed to beat him out if possible. Ac-
cordingly Lingard put up an ante OF
$3.50. George Bassford came next and
put up his $500. B0niface had no hand
and he dropped out. So did the others
till it came to Leigh, but he showed ms
whole $500 into the pot without looking
at his cards. This staggered Lingard
nd he let his $3.50 go without making
good, so that BaSSford and Leigh were
left to fight it out between them.
