AMERICAN EXPOSITlONS.

n CCORDING to the latest reports from Omaha / \ thirty-hve States have organized and taken steps to provide exhibits at the exposl- ton to be opened this Several of these exhibits are to be aided by liberal appropriations made by the State Legislatures. This is notably the case with respect the exhibits of States which be- long to the same section of the Union as Nebraska The people of those conmonweal.hs recognize that the exposition IS its nature an interstate affair." which will attract attention to the whole of that re- zion of the Missouri Valley, and are resolved to have their portion of it presented fav rably any other
 The fact that thrty-five States are to be repre- sented at the exposition by organized State effort is an evidence of the value which the Eastern people have learned to place upon such exhibits. Although nearly every year interstate exposition held in some part of the East, the people, so far from tiring of them, seem to grow more and more inter ested. This be due to but one fact. Experience must have proved that such undertakings are bene- fical to all who take part in them On no other hypothesis can we account for the large displays made in Atlanta so soon after Chicago then at Nash vile and now at Omaha.
 What has been found beneficial in the East cannot prove otherwise in the West. If cxpositions so profitable that two of them be held in the same section of the Union in such swift succession as that
 
 at Atlanta, IS fair assume that an exposition of the Golden West to follow the at Omaha would prove profitable any of them and possibly by of the greater novelty of the exhibits more profitable.
 The danger to be guarded against is that of delay in beginning preparations The only ambitious undertaking in the way of an exposition on this that of the Midwinter Fair and in that en- terprse everything had to be done in haste nota- ble success accomplished under the circum- stances, but nothing like what would have been achieved if two years of time had been allowed the managers in arranging the scope of the fair and the exhibitors in preparing to make display of their goods.
 A prompt start gives advantage in many ways We should have our enterprise far advanced as to be able to make such a showing of money subscribed by the time Congress assemblies next winter that we can obtain an appropriation for assistance in the work. San Francisco at any rate should to work early When the interstate convention invited by Governor Budd assemblies the delegates from this city will be expected to take the lead If they do not those of other city wil and San Francisco will have lost the exposition.

as whole. Moreover, due account would be kept of every American ship destroyed of every dollar of exc essIve insurance imposed our commerce by reason of danger of Spanish privaeers, and at the closing of the Spain would have to pay the bll
 It is not likely moreover that the loss which prl- vatcers could inflict upon us would be great. The paimy days of privateering are over. No neutral nation would harbor privateer or furnish It with munitions of It would have to find its base of supplies in some Spanish port, and our navy would soon make the entrance to those ports very danger oua to any privateer that might venture to try It.
 It hardly needed these warning utterances from Spanish officials to put guard against prlva- teers II should come. That method of warfare to be expected of the Spaniords. It IS charac- teristic of the nation to fight in that manner Even in the war for. national defense against Napoleon they left him in possession of the eld the cities and the open country, and maintained their contest wholly by guerrilla bands hiding i'll the businesses Of the mountains and venturing forth only when they had an opportunity to cut off French force that had rashly moved away from the main army.
 Guerrillas land are naturally prvateers by sea. If we fight Spain we must fight those lines. There will be no big battles either by land or sea- unless we can get the Spanish in corner some way. We must therefore prepare to meet assault of prvateers upon our merchantmen rather than of warshps against warships, and fortunately we will be able to do this without greater loss than Span can be made to pay after the war is over

 THE PROBLEM OF IRRIGATION IN CALIFORNIA.
YoUUooo UuuUuooUo UUU Uo . o00 000o

State system would be met by an annual rate to be paid by the holders of water rights just as the shareholders meet such disbursements in cooperative water com panies like the Santa Ana Valley Water Company.
 reorganized systems, nor any lands against the will of the owner, but there Is no doubt that under existing systems more lands would desire inclusion than the system would irrigate, because the burdens would be apportioned to the ben- efits, and the State could raise the money on such long time and low interest that these burdens could be easily borne by the landowners.
 As this proposed State system Is con- sidered, objections will be suggested which can be overcome in the adjust ment of the. details of the system. Ihe proposition has been roughly. outlined in order to draw forth these objections so they can be considered and obviated in advance of the preparation of any pro- posed constitutional amendment Such an amendment would have to be submitted to the next Legislature, to carry out the plan proposed.
 The district system can never be recon structed or amended so as to operate sue ceSSfully. If the present debts should be sealed down and time for payment ex- tended in those districts where proposf- tions for refunding are now being agitat- ed as in Modesto and Tulare, 1t would only be a short time before the present condi- tions of discontent and litigation would be renewed. The district system Is inher ently defective, and these conditions grow out of the defects of the system, rather than the mere existence of the debt. All these defects can be eliminated under the proposed State system. Under the dis trict system 1t Is impossible to obviate them. GEORGE H. MAXWELL.

WAR AND ANNEXATION.

TT HE annexationists have pretended to take heart and hope out of the prospect of war with
 Spain. In such event they say our possession o the islands for military purposes IS of hrst import But why? If take them we must defend them The self-examnation into our defensive con ditions which has been forced by the Maine incident and its consequences has found us lacking III ade- quate defense of what we have already. We lack shps guns. powder and trained men. To get them means large expenditure. The S5oooo,ooo appro- prated by Congress is the extent of Tn expenditure already and the whole will not even put us on proper peace footing to say nothing of preparation for war
 As we have often pointed out we are supported by both Captain Mahan and General Schoheld Tn saying that to provide naval squadron and land Notifications to defend Hawaii against the weakest of the sea powers will cost much all the rest of our national defenses.
 Englands weakness now is in her distant colonies. That same weakness is what is destroying Spain The latter power could defend herself against European coalition for less than her expenditures in the appar entity futile effort to retain Cuba and the Philippines.
 Peace is the normal condition of this country; war is the abnormal Our continental position and pos sessions are invulnerable when ordinarily prudent Hawaii brings to weakness and not strength In every diplomatic crisis the islands will be our sore and undefended toe, stuck out to be tranlped on. They inevitably involve us in those foreign complications which is highest policy to avoid. Our right interest in them is wholly in their independence and neutrality
 The talk of with Spain all arises in the demand among us that Cuba be given autonomy, and what infuriating logic 1t is to insist that to compel Spain to give the Cubans autonomy must take 1t away from the Hawaiians If the same argument were made about Mexico, for instance, how absurd would it appear and how lacking in justification!
 Again the appearance of dissensons in the present Government of Hawaii is given as fresh reason why the treaty should be ratified We have had in- ternal dissensons in this country. How would we have looked upon joint declaration by the rest oi the world that they gave the nations the right to interfere in our affairs, destroy autonomy and cut us up between them like carcass hacked for hounds.
 In brief, the prospect of with Spain or any other power is an added reason why we should insist that Hawaii is to be the neutral and independent Switzerland of the seas. Let her people and their leaders adjust to themselves Government suited to their moral and physical conditions to the peculiar needs of their leading industries and their labor sys tenn They will then know the atfiiction ot external war; and may develop such lines as are projected from their individual genius and their capacity to maintain civil institutions

McKINLEY'S FIRST YEAR.

NJ o President since the time of Lincoln entered
 NJ office under more adverse circumstances than Mckinley. The campaign which preceded his election was one of than ordinary bitterness, and threatened to engender antagonsms which would outlast the term of his Presidency The business of the country which had been bad for four years, was still stagnant. The revenues were deficient, and a drain of gold from the treasury was imminent His political opponents had belittled him Mark Hanna's man," had denounced him as the agent of trusts and had shown every evidence of an intention to harass his administration and assai his personal character necessarily long he remained in office
 He has just completed the first year of his term and already he has the confidence of the whole peo- pie as completely he had that of his party be- fore he nominated. Although his party had con rol of but house of Congress, the Senate having free silver majority and being opposed to his fnan cia policy, he has succeeded in bringing about the enactment of tariff which has restored industry, vived trade and provided the treasury once more with income equal to the needs of the country
 He has harmonized factions, removed all causes of dissenson in the ranks of his party and has succeeded in inducing the generally obstructive Democratic and Populist minority in the House to act with discretion His appointments to office have given satisfaction to the people. His speeches and his messages to Congress have had the effect of al laying apprehensions and encouraging the business interests of the country enter with confidence upon new enterprises, and in short all the acts of his off cia1 life have been of nature to silence demagogues put an end to agitations and restore the republic to its normal condition of harmony and well-ordered prosperity.
 The President is now reapng the reward of his statesmanshp his tact and his patriotism He enjoys the fullest confidence of Congress and the country His political opponents have ceased to vilify him. The mugwumps have ceased to at him. No one now disputes his eminence in the adninistra ton or denies that he is better fitted for his high office than any man who has occupied it for long time.
 Whatever may come in the future, 1t will not be denied that the first year of McKineys term has been one of brilliant administrative He has demonstrated his ability to conduct with wisdom the complex affairs of home politics, and is trusted implicitly in the management of every detail of the crisis with Spain. This is a notable victory to have been won in single year under such circumstances The people have to be gratied that they have such President at this uncture It is potent factor on side in the controversy with Spain since it unites the people for action they could have been united under the Presidency of less tactfu and resourceful man.

SPANISH PRIVHTEERS.

is reported from Madrid that Spanish officials I of the opinion that in of war the United States would suffer than Spain Their argu- ment IS that the would be conducted mainly by privateering, and, the United States has more ships to lose than Spain, the chances of would be against us That this view is widely held among the Spaniards cannot be doubted, since 1t is only short time ago Senor Mendez de Vigo, Spanish Ambassador at Berlin, made the significant state nent that Spain did not sign the treaty of Paris in 1856 she therefore has right without violating treaty obligations to strike terrible blow Ameri can commerce
 A war of privateering, however, would not be SO wholly one-sided as the Spanish officials seem to think We might and probably would lose some of our ships and suffer considerable loss in the bus- ness done by our commercial marine in case of war; b, the loss would be but gadly sting to the nation
