Head Of the irrigation Bureau.

State Engineer Elwood Mead, of Wyo-
ming, has resigned in order to take
charge Of the United States bureau Of
irrigation, for which an appropriation
was made at the last session of con-
gress. He is the foremost western au-
thority, and has done more by argu-
ment and practical methods to induce
the government to take up this subject
actively than almost any other man. He
has been at the front of the movement
in which Senator Warren has been
spokesman in the United States senate.
It is understood that headquarters will
be at Denver. New Mexico will be sure
to receive due attention from the bu-
reau. 1t Is undoubtedly the intention of
Mr.. Mead to do all in his power to
hasten the day when the government
shall store the flood waters of western
streams and provide for redemption OF
arid land now unproductive. Recently
he has been offered a commission In
California to devise a more perfect sys-
TEN for that state, which once was the
leader in the irrigation movement. To
him alone is Wyoming indebted for her
lead as a model in this line. Success in
the narrow field has won him recogni-
ton as the most practical expert and
broad authority, and he will have a life
work before him in the broader field
The establishment Of the bureau was
hardly more important to the west than
that the right man should be chosen to
| conduct it.

Even in the great year Of 1898 the ex-
ports amounted to only $4,0OO, 900 more,
although that years business was
swelled by the fact that Europe had but
a small wheat crop, and had to get a
supply from this country. No year but
1898 has been near to 1899, in the record,
the best being SITS, 900, 900 short. The
combined export and import trade was
SIT, 600, 900 greater than for 1898. Fol the
first and only time the balance of trade
was against America in 1893, as she
bought $1S,0 900, 900 more than she sold. In
the year just ended the balance was
$3.50, 900, 900 in favor of the United States

PRESS COMMENTS.
THE NEXT STATE,


Mercer, Pa, Dispatch and Republican,
Governor Roosevelt, of New York,
while in New Mexico recently attending
the reunion Of the rough riders, told the
New Mexicans that if they desired
statehood he himself would go to Wash
ineton and plead in their behalf. The
generous offer is richly merited, accord
ing to the opinion of the Buffalo Ex-
press. New Mexico does desire state
hood. 1t has been an applicant for
years. 1t has long had a population
much greater than has sufficed for the
admission of other states. 1t earned
statehood so long ago as during the
civil war, when it remained loyal to the
Union and paid the penalty therefor by
being compelled, in it's isolated position,
to fight out a little war Of its W with
the Texans hat resulted, after re-en-
forcements at last reached the territory
from Colorado, in driving back the
Confederate forces. This loyalty was ILL
requited, yet New Mexico in the recent
Spanish war came to the front again
with no less patriotism, furnishing a
large proportion Of the men who made
up the famous rough riders.
The fact that New Mexico's popula-
ton is still largely of the Spanish type
is a petty one to urge against these
services. The people may preserve the
Spanish speech and many Of the Span
ish institutions, but they are loya
Americans. The next congress should

Free Water in Cities.

The Washington Post, in an argu-
ment for municipal ownership of water
works and public baths, says that there
are in that city several thousand people
| whose average use Of water does not
| exceed half a gallon per day each. This
Is carried home from hydrants in pals
by women and children. The death rate
among these people, who are mostly me-
groes, is large. Plenty of water supplied
free to the people of cities would per-
haps be economy in the long run. New
| Orleans has decided to compel every
household to be connected with a sewer
| and to s -,ply water free through serv-
ice pipes L.. all houses. This is a practi-
| cal method to check mortality, and par
| ticularly to bring about a sanitary con-
dition that will prevent further ravages
by yellow fever. Boston has carried the
reform to the extent of providing baths
in the public school buildings for chill
dren who have no facilities at home.
In the cities of the country there mus
be millions Of people who secure all OF
the water they use from street hydrants
and carry it home in small quantities
They have no bathing facilities, and
neglect this necessary manner of secur-
ing cleanliness. The results are disease,
filling of poor houses and pauper graves
The doctrine Of cleanliness could be
advanced more by a plentiful and con-
~venient supply of water than by a cen
fury of lecturing upon sanitation. Mar
naturally takes to water like an animal
and If it we're always easy of access and
possible to have bathing few would
neglect IL.

BRYAN on Tariff and Trusts.

Candidate Bryan does not wish Have
meyer, who is an anti-free silver Dem
ocrat, to push the antitrust agitation
ahead Of free silver, SO combats the
claim made by the king of the sugar
trust, that repeal of the tariff would
starve trusts. Mr.. Bryan, citing the
fact that American steel rails are sold
to Europe for SIS per ton, says that ii
steel rails can be produced in the Unit
ed States as cheaply as elsewhere, a
| steel rail trust could be formed without
the aid of any tariff wall, and a trust
organized under those conditions would
| be able to control the price Of the prod
uct, as well as fix the rate of wages and
| the price Of raw material. He holds that
whenever an article can be exported in
competition with foreign products a
trust formed in that article can collect
from the consumer the foreign price
plus the cost of transportation. AS the
number of manufactured articles that
| can be sold abroad profitably is rapidly
increasing, the increase of trusts In
such articles follows, without the ale
of import duties. Hence, tariff reform
or even free trade, would be only a par.

Audience Needed Enlightenment.

At a recent religious gathering at
Chautauqua the minister conducting
the meeting passeda hat among the con-
gregation Of women in order that writ
ten questions might be received con-
corning moral topics, which he expected
to answer. The majority submitted
showed that the assemblage, which was
composed of moral people, If dull, were
given to the consideration Of trivial
matters, and evidently not to thinking
upon abstruse topics. Probably more
intellectual questions would have been
asked by a theater audience. The aver
age assembly anywhere, however, Is
generally composed in the main of per-
sons who do no serious thinking. The
following are samples of the subjects

The African Methodist Episcopal
church has a missionary society and
sends a bishop to Africa to feed and
clothe benighted people, who are, of
course, ready to eat missionaries or 9TH
err things, but many of whom are not
worrying for clothing. Every southern
city has thousands of poor and ignorant
people of African descent who need aid
more, perhaps, than do foreigners, and
they should be first looked after. The
preachers seem to go on the theory that
the soul of an untutored savage, who
has not heard of sin and religion, is
worth ninety and nine of those who
are sinners knowingly and willfully. The
colored church is not the only n whose
zeal has led it to forget ills at home to
combat those in foreign lands.

the hearers desired TO hear the minis
ter discuss.
IF Jesus were in my place, would he
wear a trained dress on the streets and
sweep up microbes?
IF he were overlooked by a street
car conductor, what would he do?
would he deceive a railroad COM
pany in regard to the age of a child?
,"Would he try to get into Chautau-
qua without buying a ticket?
IF he were an American, would he
love the Spaniards?"
1t is needless to say the minister was
disguised with the trifling inquirers.

Local Commercial Bodies Should Compile

John A. Davis, the industrial commits
sioner Of the Santa Fe, who is now in
New Mexico, is quoted Is saying:
ut is not lack of that is
Gripping New Mexico. 1t is absolutely
impossible to get reliable information
Of the kind that is most needed, wheth-
err mines, manufacture or agriculture be
the subject under consideration. For in
stance, I have been travelling through
the territory with Mr.. Weinrich, repre-
sentative of the American Beet Sugar
Company, who is seeking for a location
in which to build a 3,0OO-ton factory.
Nowhere has data been available re-
garding the amount of land under culti-
walton, the acreage that can be irrigat-
ed, the exact nature of the soil, etc.
When 1t comes to minerals, the situa-
ton is little better. I could send men
here with millions to invest IL they
could secure beforehand the definite
authentic information needed"

tabulated statement for Il

A tabulated statement for forty-five
cities shows that in the past six months
the Increase In building operations far
exceeded that Of any similar period for
many years. The same table shows that
realty transfers in cities broke the rec
ord. 1t took a year of increasing pros
perity to silence the sneers and settle

and admit the existence of general pros

significance. preferring to be silent upon
this point. Well, 1t is better to be dumb
