Homesteaders Should Not Delay.

All parties who have selected any Of
the government domain for homesteads
or as desert land entries under the lib.
eral laws of the United States, but who
have not yet made fling and applica-
tions, should do so at once. And all de.
string to secure good land under the
United States laws should act promptly.
The territorial board of land commits.
sioners is just beginning the selection Of
1000, 900 acres of land donated by an
act of congress for the benefit Of public
institutions of the territory, and will
certainly pick the very best 1t finds un-
claimed, according to the records on
file in the government land Offices. 1t
might happen that a settler who has
located upon public land and made i'm
provements thereon may find his selec-
ton has been taken by the territorial
land board, and that this body has
placed a price of $3 per acre, or more
upon the tract which the settler could
have procured at an expense of but IA
cents per acre had he taken advantage
of the opportunity while it was yet at
the disposal Of the United States.
There are said to be many desirable
small tracts of good land in New Mex
leo open to settlement, but the quantity
will certainly be greatly reduced when
the land board gets through selecting
1000, 900 acres.

The board of education of Santa Fe
has received a written opinion from the
legal adviser of the city, that no debts
contracted in a former year, which were
in excess of the receipts of that year for
school purposes, can be legally paid from
funds levied and collected for the pres
ent year, and that PARTIES who credited
the board of education upon promises to
pay from the funds of the present year,
were relying upon the exercise of a
power expressly forbidden and the only
money from which they can be paid is
delinquent taxes as they come in for the
year in which the liabilities were in
Cured. Thus the public has fair warn
ing in addition to the existence of the
law, that city boards of education are
limited in their power to incur liabilities
in any year in excess of the income Of
that particular year.

A medical student in Gratz. Austria,
is in trouble because he was too prema-
ture. He stole some bottles containing
microbes of various and divers kinds and
taking them to the room of a nervous
rich woman threatened to release them
unless she paid him some money to save
her life by keeping the corks in the bot.
ties. The e%nterprising student got into
Jail. If he had only waited until he had
a sheepskin he could have gone to the
victim and persuaded her that she was
already full of the microbes and her
purse would have been opened to him
to relieve her of the nasty things. That
is the way the wise medicos of the dis
position of this student work the scheme.
The student evidently thought to i'm
prove upol the slower methods of the
profession.

There is enough silver bullion stacked
up in the warehouses of New York and
Colorado to keep the price of that metal
from advancing if the Colorado smelters
should suspend for three years, says the
Pueblo Chieftain. The presentlow price
is sufficiently high, however, to cause
large importations from South American
countries, and should the price advance
there would certainly be an enormous
amount shipped In from that region,
where it is found in abundance and
where the recent introduction of i'm
proved machinery enables silver to be
produced more cheaply ven than with
the cheap labor also found there.

GOVERNMENT RESERVOIRS.
Senator Garter Sets Forth the Needs of the
West.

In a recent speech United States SEN
ator Carter, of Montana, said: "a
comprehensive system of irrigation
must be provided. Three ways are be-
fore us for consideration. The ex-
perience of many years in older COM
munities seems to demonstrate that the
control of the waters of a country by
private corporations is alike unsatisfac-
tory to capitalist and consumer. l can
not imagine any greater calamity than
would be the control of the waters of
the state by corporations, contending
with each other, but always uniting
against the ranchman to secure the
largest possible returns on the corpora
ton capital invested. The adoption of
the scheme of corporation ownership
would leave a legacy of litigation and
disorder which would be a whitening
blight upon the state.
''The direct purpose of the construc-
ton of reservoirs by the government
would be the control of the waters Of
the lower Mississippi river. For nearly
a century enormous sums of money have
been appropriated annually to build mud
banks or levees to keep that great stream
within bounds during seasons of high
water. The levee system has proven
impotent. Every few years the waters
wash the banks away and inundate the
country, carrying death and destruction
to the lowlands. Hundreds Of millions
of property have been destroyed in this
way. A small fraction Ut the enormous
sums spent in building levees and in re-
placing destroyed property would suffice
to impound the waters in the arid and
semi-arid states. The water which held
up here would be a blessing, becomes a
curse when allowed to rush down to
augment floods on the lower river.
1--WE are now called upon to consult
and unite every element interested d.
rectly or indirectly in the success of the
movement to the end that this great
trans. Mississippi country may speak as
one man in congress on this subject.
"This whole country west Of the Mis-
souri, is now looking with confidence
from the surplus-ripden markets of Eu-
rope with its $50, OOO, 900 people to the
awakening markets of the Orient with
$50, 900, 900 of population to supply.
From our western coast the body of
that market is reached within 5000
miles over IN open ocean in the tenn
perate zone, whereas the same point is

a water course extending through the

The rumored alliance between South
American republics that imagine the
United States is preparing to take them
into its household, creates only amuse-
ment in this country. Fer the purpose
of defense the action is entirely unnec-
essary. Moreover, if the United States
desired to accomplish annexation a half
dozen of the republics together could
not put up a fight that would defeat the
greatest country in the world. But the
thought of expanding to take in the
southern countries has never been seri-
ously contemplated by anybody in this
country, and if such absorption ever
m it will be because the republics
get too fresh and need a guardian.

President Mckinley has bought the
home where he and Mrs. Mckinley first
began housekeeping and %annnouces that
when he retires from office, they will
again reside in the cottage in Canton
instead of seeking to make a home else
where among strangers. They are a
lovable pair who delight in being among
the neighbors with whom they spent so
many years in the old Ohio town. The
modest cottage of the McKinley's became
somewhat famous in the last campaign
because more than a million people
made pilgrimages to it to call upon the
future president.

PRESS COMMENT.
POLITICS IN III.
(St, Louis b e-DemOcrat.

wv -otio " SLAo
All who are familiar with the methods
of the Democratic party are aware that
the assaults on General Otis are intend
ed to discredit the administration in the
conduct of the war. General Otis has a
long and honorable military record. He
is not an experiment in the are and
management of troops, for his life has
been devoted to the work. 1t is a ques-
ton if the military and civil duties of his
present position are not too numerous
for one man, but as far as matters have
gone the common sense and sober judg-
ment OF the country approve the com
mander in the Philippines. Much of the
criticism heard about Otis is to the effect
that he is too conservative. That de-
ponds on the point of view. A Hotspur
might have done something more snowy,
and then again he might have run into
serious disaster. Under the orders of
Otis our troops in the Philippines have
met no reverse or check. He has been
an active leader. Some of the volunteers
think they were pushed too hard. Otis
himself has said that they were worked
to the limit of endurance. 1t is proper
at this time, the dividing boundary be-
tween two campaigns, to estimate what
has been done, and the efficiency of
those upon whose plans and efforts sue
cess depends.
