THE STATE CANAL BILL.

The Chieftain, in recent edito-
rial. intimntes that not ms much in
terest is being taken in the con
summation of the state ditch prop
osition by Pueblo people as should
be manifested. 1t soys that all
that is needed to get the ditch with
all that it will mean for the entire
Arkansas valley is for the people
of he counties directly concerned
to indicate to the mem mbers of the
Legislature their keen interest in
the project, and their desire to
have il carried out with all speed
The argument that when the state
is in financial straits is no time to
begin such works is of no weight,
for the money to be used is TO be
taken from the internal improve
ment fund, which under decisions
of the supreme court, can be used
for none of the needs supplied from
the general fund, in which the de-
ficiency exists, The internal i'm
provement fund must be used for
just such things as the state ditch
There is none which would bring
benefits to such large share oi
the state MS the state canal There
is none that would accomplish two
ends at once. improvement and
philanthropy. But with all factors
SO favorable there is lack of push
from the people of Pueblo. No eff
fort must be spared to urge semi

the bill, and enact it sufficiently

be agreed that Washington was a
man OF high temper, which he us
ually was able to keep under good
control John Marshall tells us
that there was quickness in his
sensibility to anything apparently
offensive, which experience had
taught him to watch and to cor
rect There was a certain reserve
about him that made familiarity
with him impossible, even on the
part of those who were on terms of
intimacy with him. He had re-
markable personal courage, and,
in the opinion of jefferson, was n
man incapable of fear. The men
who fought under Lin in battle
complained because his fearless
ness of danger led him TO take lit
tie care of himself in action. He
was distinguished more for the
solidity of his judgment and his
practical good sense than for the
brilliancy of his genius. 1t is gen
