A BOON TO THE VALLEY.
(Albuuueruue ,Journal-Democrat.


Fifteen thousand acres Of as good
land as the sun aver shone upon lies
between Albuquerque and Bernalillo,
and of this land not more than 5000
acres, or about one-fifth, is now under
cultivation. OF the remaining four
tifths, a portion is unused because the
owners can not secure q supply of water
with which to irrigate it, and another
portion is rendered useless by reason of
the fact that the surplus water from the
acequias which is discharged upon 1t
puts it in the class of ''swamp and
overlooked lands and thus our present
crude and inefficient system of irriga-
ton causes a double waste and prac-
tically destroys four-fifths of our produc-
tive energy.
IkWithout any increase in our total
water supply, but by economy in distri-
button, and by the preventing OF ruin
Gus waste, the new system will reclaim
land enough in the vicinity of the city
to make homes for hundreds of new set
tiers without interfering in any manner
with any ones present rights. Say
what we may about the Importance or
other industries, agriculture is after all
the basis of the most permanent pros
perity. The building of the low line
canal will do more to develop the agri-
cultural intesests of this section of the
territory than any other enterprise that
has ever been undertaken here.

1881 to 1891 cost the government $11O,-
900, 900, but the cost would have been
much less and the tribes sooner subdued
had there not been too much temper
Using and listening to the sentimental
element which opposed treating the In
dams as savages. The same sort of peo-
pie who believed in working upon the
feelings Of the Indians, are now wasting
sympathy upon the Tagals and would be
upon the Yaquis were they fighting the
United States.

yard after another campaign.

The decision of Judge McFie having
cleared the way of legal obstruction, the
company interested in constructing a
big irrigation canal at Albuquerque has
put surveyors into the field and next
week a contractor will begin construc-
ton of the canal. The locality affected
has long been held back and substantial
growth will result from the accomplish
ment of the enterprise. There are
many other places in the valley where
local capital could do much for the ad-
vancement of agricultural interests by
better irrigation facilities.

Iii Hung Chang says that the Amer
leans should sell the Philippines and
skip back over the ocean. But Chang
never so decided until he saw that
General Otis would shut out Chinese
from the islands where they are making
much money as merchants. The old
mans reputation is not above the point
where he might be suspected of getting
a rake-off in the trade between China
and the islands. Anyway. the opinion
of the Chinese plutocrat is of no
moment to the United States. The
present administration does not have to
get it's opinions by cable.

There used to be a free trade issue in
this country, until the Dingley bill put
an end to it,. A free silver Issue fol-

by the most of it's former advocates and

little talk about it as there is about free
trade. Now there is a whirlwind of
anti-expansion talk, but that will be
carted away to the Democratic grave

The country at large only smiles over
the financial pinch in New York gam
bling circles. The big city has just
found out that the real wealth of the
country is outside of Gotham. Dear
money is squeezing the gamblers in
stocks, who operated with cheap money.
Stocks have dropped in selling value,
that is specializing stocks which had
been inflated, but railway bonds, stocks
and legitimate business feel no effect
from the New York furry.

THE SITUATION IN KENTUCKY
(St. Louis Globe Democrat

(St. Louis DemOcrat.)
It is stated that the Goebel managers
have %unfavorable reports from their can
vassers throughout the state, and that
dissatisfaction with the Goebel methods
is strong among the farming population
as well as IN the cities. The mass of
Kentuckians object to an unfair election
law, and to the means by which Goebel
forced himself as the nominee upon the
Louisville convention. By making
pledges with rival candidates that he
never intended to keep and by using the
chairman to overrule the majority of
delegates at critical points Goebel car
ried through his purpose to head the
ticket. He is qualified to tell other I'M
scrupulous politicians how to be nomi-
mated though in a minority. In all the
counties the state election board, which
is a part of the Goebel machine, has APP
pointed the local election boards, and
more than t%wo-thirds of the number are
Goebel Democrats. If the election Is
close the state and county boards will
use their authority to change the re-
turns. The state board is allowed con-
siderable time to ''revise" and tabulate
the vote. Each county board may in
dulge in a preliminary revision. The
chance for dishonest manipulation is be-
yond all precedent.

A Montana sheriff who went to arrest
an outlaw in a tent showed Il rifle muzzle
under the tent, and blew off; the top of
the fellows head while calling upon him
to surrender. The fate was probably
deserved and the feat perhaps not re-
markable. The wonderful part of the
story is that the officer claims his thumb
accidentally slipped from the hammerof
the rifle and the shot was an uninten-
tional one. Such modesty in an officer
was never before heard of.

MORE MINING TRANSACTIONS.
(Silver City independently

A number of important mining sales
are just now pending in this county, the
facts about which we are not at liberty
to give in this issue, but so soon as they
are consummated the public will be adj
vised. There is no lack of mining acti-
witty this week, but it is not for the pub
lie to know just yet. There is no doubt
that several transactions involving a
large amount of money will be made by
our next issue. Capital seems anxious
to invest in Grant county and we are
anxious to have it do so. We have the
mines of superior quality at reasonable
figures, and there is no drawback to
capital seeking investment.

What sense is there in having guns
for the marines and blue jackets of the
navy so different from those in use by
the soldiers Of the army? In the first
case the Lee Milford is used, in the
other the Springfield and the Krag
ferent there can be no exchange of
ordnance between the two arms of de-
fense. The other day a detachment of
the Twenty first Infantry was hemmed
in by Aguinaldoites on one side and by
the waters of Manila Bay on the other
and saw no chance out of the dilemma,
because the ammunition ran short
Thereupon the officer in command of
the small body signaled to war ships
off shore for a fresh supply of ammu-
milton to be sent to the beach. The
reply was that the ammunition used by
the navy could not be used in the guns
of the army. However the ships would
send reinforcements. Accordingly, a
detachment of 100 men came off and
soon drove the Filipinos back and scat
tered them like chaff If the men of
the navy and the men of the army used
the same order of guns the ammunl-
tion would be interchangeable. More
gether the men of the sea and the men
of the land would understand the use of
the common weapon. The parts would
also be interchangeable and thus the

summer a delight, that will intensity
regret when it is gone and winter sets
in. Talk of better weather they may
who care, but it is satisfaction deep
and unalloyed to be content with the
charms of the present. In the San
Francisco Bulletin" the other day a
baseball manager of that city in ac-
counting for the fiat defeat Of his team
was due to the fact that his men had
to play beneath the blazing heat of
scorching sun. That was a poor fable
invented to excuse incapacity. On the
day referred to it was actually cool,
and strong bracing south breeze
blew; indeed it was a bit tool speedy
for a breeze, and approached the char
acter of a gale of wind, and that self
same manager sat on the diamond
bleachers and buttoned his top coat
about him. Whether the meteorolog
lists can figure it out or not, it is suffi-
cient to know that Sacramento this
summer has enjoyed such equability IN
the matter of temperature, such re-
freshing in the matter of breezes,
such satisfaction in the matter of de-
lightful nights, clear, cool and inviting
to outdoor living, that we doubt if the
most favored outing resort Of the con-
tinent can even compare with it.

THE MODERN WOMAN.
Her Attitude Toward the World
ProcIaims Many Serious Things.

Certain artists of the period have
achieved a new feminine type, says q
writer in "LipDincott'S." She is a
daughter of the Gods, divinely tall and
divinely fair Her well-cut features,
the turn of her head her whole atti
tude and gesture, show not only mag
nificent composure and high serious
ness, but deep intention. She seems to
approach the levels of life in half
disdainful way as if from higher al
titudes. Her whole being proclaims
not only that she has arrived. but that
she has no time to wait. The world is
to be made over without loss of time.
Of course, we recognize her on the
instant as the modern woman, and as
she looks at us with the brow of one
who comprehends all things clearly, she
seems to offer us a new key to the Sc
crets of what shall be.
IF I could understand what you are,
root and all and all in all. | should
know what God and man is, said Ten
nyson, plucking 1.-The flower from the

ern woman from her environment, to
define her relation to the universe,
might seem to be a simple matter. Emil
nent writer's treat the subject of her
social, civic and ethical status from ev-
cry point of view. There ares-in her
case no reticences, no reserves, almost,
one might say, no discretionS. Her full
personal equipment, from hairpins to
bootlaces, is freely discussed. Also the
burning question whether she shall ride
astride, and chew gum, together with
her initiative in matters OF social, CIVIC,
and hygienic reform. Her every feel
ing, motion and aspiration is barred to
the sunlight.

Colusa is in sore trouble. Red Bluff
has by vote ordered cashed $4,000
worth of city bonds. the money to be
expended in putting in a new drainage
system so as to carry the sewage of the
city into the Sacramento River via
Reed Creek, which the Colusa Sun"
says is really the river. Whether the
cesspool system will be abandoned and
even the filth pit contents be discharged
into the river also. is not now known,
but Red Bluff greatly desires to have
complete gravitation system for all her
sewage filth. Which proves Red Bluff
to be progressive and sensible. But
how about the other fellows; those
farther down stream. who use the
river water for domestic purposes? The
Sun is alarmed for Colusa, for that
city draws it's drinking supply from
the river. The Sun" declares that the
Red Bluff bacteria is certain to be alive
and kicking in good shape when it
reaches Colusa, where the Colusans
will take it fresh in their drinking
water, such of the tribe as does not sail
on down to the Sacramento water sue
ton pipes. Colusa wants the State
Board of Health to look into this mat
ter, and in the meantime the Sun" ad
yises that Colusa move on her own
motion and protect herself against the
Red Bluff threat. Colusa might as we'll
make up it's mind to secure new wa
ter system The river is becoming too
foul for use by people having regard
for cleanliness and the inner coating of
the stomach. The Red Bluff bacteria
are no worse than those Of Marysville
and other towns and those who have
to take 'em whole" find that recourse
to the law is slow and doubtful as
remedy. Colusa has never had an epi-
demic of disease. 1t is healthy town,
because for one thing heretofore it's
water supply has been uncontaminated
dangerously. But when the thriving
city of Red Bluff, just above Colusa,
proposes to turn Colusas drinking wa
ter into bacteria soup, it is no wonder
that the latter town roars. But the
Colusans should wait patiently. They
may become as accustomed to drinking
foul water as We in Sacramento, and
once used to it, they will not mind it
at all, nor the typhoid fever nor the
criticism of visitors. AS to sickness
and death in consequence of the pro-
posed dumping. what of them. We
must all die some time. Don't kick,
Colusa. 1t will ease no pain and will
not prevent the corruption of the water.
Besides, ws have local legislative scien-.
fists down this way who prove to their
own satisfaction that filth after racing
in water awhile becomes nutritive, pure
and wholesome.

The Tacoma Ledger" comes to the
conclusion that ''the Cleveland boycott

There is too much method in it to pass

devilishness. the manifestation of a
vicious disposition to make the inno-
cent suffer, to compel people to take
sides, to interrupt trade and obstruct
traffic, in order to compel society to
come down to the level of violence and
lawlessness in a land where freedom
of conscience and action within the law
