National Irrigation Congress Decides
to Meet Again In the
Nnrfh

CHEYENNE, WYO., Sept. 2.-The after
noon session of the national irrigation con-
gress was opened by Senator Warren upon
what congress is doing in aid of irriga-
tion. Senator Warren confessed in the start
that discussion of what congress had not
done in aid of irrigation offered much
wider field than that confined to what had
been done. However, there was hopeful
side shown by the spirit and temper Of
the last congress. The upper house had
given much time to debate in favor Of ma
tional construction of reservoirs and the
larger canals.
The progress made in preserving the for
ests was a step ahead and the department
Of agriculture, with Western man at the
head. had made good beginning.
Z: F. Best. of the Interior DEPARTMENT,
Reserves and the Relationship Of Reserva-
ton and Irrigation Judge Best said the
whole heart of the secretary Of the interior
was in this problem of preserving the for
ests. He said the preservation of the water
supply was the most important factor in
the problem. Judge Best spoke of the in
innate relations of the forest to the flow
turbed.
very earnest debate followed, in which
number of the delegates took part.
president Carey, during his remarks,
paid very high compliment to the work

WILL BE NO PROSECUTIONS.
War Binds Bid For Fraudulenfiy,
However. VIII Not BE
Issued.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1T was an
nounced at the treasury department to-day
that there would be no prosecutions as the
outcome of the recent investigation of the
manner in which several thousand bonds
were subscribed for in New York city. Sec
retary Gage had conferences to-day with
some of those involved in the scheme for
securing the subscriptions at wholesale. AS
q result, in ali cases where the bonds were
subscribed for in an improper way, the
bonds will not be issued, but an arrange
ment was effected by which bona fide bids
forwarded by banks or other means will
be accepted. This course was decided upon
in order that those not guilty of improper
conduct should not suffer on account of the
bids obtained in other ways, but forwarded
through the same channel.

DID SNUB THE POpuLISTS.,

notwithstanding the assertion Of
the Hamilton Times that this paper
lied when il said that Mr.. O'Hara,
two wears ago, treated the pOpulists
very cavdlcrly when they sought the
republican convention for the purpose
Of a fusion. we beg to repeat the
statement. 1t is true, as the Times
says, that Mr.. O1Iara was not a del
cgatc in shat convention, and was
neither temporary nor permanent
chairman, but he was, as chairman
of the central committee, presiding
for d time before temporary organi-
zation WAS effected. All who were
at that convention know that there
was contested delegation from Ham
iltOn, and that some time was spent
IN ruling on which, if any, delegation
should be permitted to participate in
the temporary organization. Some
members took the ground that neither
should be permitted to take part
until the credentials committee had
acted, and quite a discussion arose.
Again, there was a contest from
Eight Mile which took some time.
Before these things had been settled
the populists. who had organized,
sent 4 committee over, and it was an
nounccd from the door that a com
mittee from the populists was there
to ask if the convention had any
thing to communicate to them, Or
words to that effect. Mr.. O'Hara,
the temporary organization not hay-
ing yet been perfected, was still pre-
siding, and he very shortly, and with
out asccrtaining the wishes or the
sense of the convention, responded,
This convention has nothing to
communicate to the populists." These
were very near his exact words, and
he looked over the convention with a
characteristic smile after he uttered
them. And it will be noticed that
the Times does not attempt to deny
it, but merely lodges the issue by
stating that MIR. O'EIara was not
chairman or delegate. The Times
will not say that the gentleman did
not cut the committee off short

uJUST SO ITS "REGULAR."

When George Van Wyck was nom
mated by the democrats for mayor of
Greater New York last year, upon a
platform that ignored Bryan and the
Chicago platform, and Henry George
was also nominated on platform
endorsing Bryan and silver, the lead
ing democrats OF Montana, and the
democratic press Of the state, stood
up for Van Wyck because he was the
nominee Of the irregular democracy"
Of that city, and rs such entitled to
the support of democrats: They
claimed that in a city election ma
tonal politics were not an issue, and
that local issues and the name Of
the party ought to be sufficient for
democrats. Last week, however, the
state democracy met in ycntion
nominated Mayor Van Wyck's bro
thcr for governor, and totally ignored
Bryan and the Chicago platform. A
few silver democrats put 'up Henry
George on the Chicago platform, but
he won't get enough democratic votes
to be counted. The Palmer and
Buckner (or golO democrats express
their approval Of Van Wyck and the
platform as genuinely democratic,
and will support them. So would

ceptable, SO long as it's Irregular"
The democracy is 'for silver" in the
western states. The democracy is
''forninst silver" in the eastern
states. But it is always and every
where, east or west, for democracy
and the offices.
The Ravalli Republican., 1898-10-05

Before the county conventions the
Hamilton Times warmly advocated
the getting together of the republi-
cans on the county ticket. At the
time Of the conventions the editor Of
the Times was in for such amalga-
nation, aud even in his report OF the
conference action he says that the
committee from the regular republ-
cans ''waS instructed to inform the
silver republicans that it's convention
was willing to give the silver men
the legislative ticket, the only part
Of the ticket that has any bearing on
the silver question:" And yet, now,
in the face of his own printed report,
he asserts that the republican con-
vcntion was a convention of gold
bugs, and that the ticket put up by
the men who refused the help of the
republicans in electing legislative
ticket named by the s'silyer men" is
the only one put up in the interest
Of silver legislation. The Times does
well to stick to abusive tactics. In
the field OF argument, and in the
statement Of facts, it is clearly out
in the cold.
The Ravalli Republican., 1898-10-05

The New York democracy, saws the
Helena Herald, did some cheering at

dard of efficiency which, under demo-
cratic governors, it SO long enjoyed, "
and adhcres to ''all the principles and
policies Of Jeffersonian democracy" "

Democratic yellow journals are de-
nounciny the republican party as

claiming all the credit for democracy

claiming that 60 per cent. Of the
