FIGHTING TIE DESERT.

| N the current number of the London National Re
view there sra brief but interesting account of
some of the salient features OF the character Of
James Tyson, the Australian millionaire who died at
Sydney last December 1t story which merits at
tcntion, .for it reveals not only the source of the
pleasure such men have in their life work, but the
usefulness of that work to the world
Tyson was an extraordinary man He passed his
youth in poverty, having advantages OF education
and it not until, he was over 80 years of age
that he began to succeed in life He laid the founda-
tons of his fortune by supplying meat to the newly
opened Bendigo gold district and then purchased
cattle and cattle ranges on large scale At the time
OF his death he owned half million acres, leased
many thousand square miles, and left fortune esti-
mated at $25,ooo,ooo
The greater portion OF his wealth was earned by
retaining desert lands and making them productive
by irrigation. He lived the life of frontier cattle
UP the time Of his DEATH and in his later years
frequently boosted he had entered church,
theater public house; that he had never tasted
beer wine or spirits; that he had never sworn had
never used soap nor worn white shirt glove.
When asked what enjoyment he got out Of his
wealth in that sort of life he answered. Money
does not interest me. The money is nothing 1t was
the little game that was the fun.Y In reply to an
inquiry what the little game was he said: Fight
ing the desert. That has been my work. i have been
fighting the desert all my life and have won. | have
put water where there no water and beef where
there no beef. | have put fences where there
were no fences and roads where there no roads
Nothing can undo what have done, and millions
will be happier for it after l ameong dead and for

There are not many millonaires who live as Tyson
lived, in rough abstemiousness, after acquiring vast
wealth, and it is not desirable they should, for
wealth ought to be used for the advancement of art
and culture well the Improvement Of barren
lands and the increase OF beef; but there are many
Who like him. have found the chief enjoyment OF life

POLITICAL IMBEcILITY.

HE discerning reader cannot have failed to OBJ
serve amid the disgracefu scandal which has
overtaken the Legislature at the outset of its
career remarkable evidences of i1nbecty among the
politicians who have been managing the fights" of
some OF the Senatorial candidates. If this feeble
mindedness were not connected with solemn sub
ject we might make great deal OF fun it; but
humorous salies in connection with matter of so
much importance, not only in California but to the
nation, cannot be considered for one moment.
When Speaker Wright and Mr.. Green, Grants man
ager assume that the public will believe for single
moment that the $1,000 paid by the latter the former
was business transaction pure and simple they

are simply astounding.
The fact, however, that each of them has testified

was to exercise corrupt influence on Speaker

garding it with some levity If there yellow dog

Wright borrowed this money with the intention of
paying It, or that he regarded business transac

species, besides being entitled to the designation of
the greatest fool thing that God. in his nscrutabe
wisdom, has created
There is no other theory in connection with this
matter which is feasible except the one that both
Wright and Green regard the people of California as
pack of idiots The fact that they have put forth
this fool explanation OF their transactions indicates not
only this, but the further fact that they are a couple
OF idiots themselves.
Every man, woman and child in the State of Cali
fOrnia knows that Green Maid WRIGHT SI6So for the
purpose of securing his vote for Grant. In view of
the evidence which has been introduced every man,

THE EXPOSITION COMMITTEE,

y S reOrganzed the exposition committee now
I ! forms truly representative body To the
number of members originally appointed by
the Mayor there have been added three delegates from
each OF twenty lree commercial industrial hnan
cial organizations in the city; the charmen OF the
various improvement clubs; which have done so much
for the public good; the State officers; the chair
men OF the county Boards OF Supervisors the regents
OF the university and an auxiliary committee OF ten
ladies'
The merit OF a committee thus selected is that every
in has proven his public spirit by taking part
in the work OF some organization association en-
gagged in enterprises designed to advance the general
welfare 1t is not made up of that class of prominent
citizens who are so careful of their dignity their
that they share the worry the strife and the
labor of fighting and working for some public under
taking. All of them have had experience OF the an
tagonisms and the wranglings that accompany every
movement that disturbs silurianism and stagnaton,
and of them likely to be discouraged by
obstacles difficulties that may arise in the path of
the great project upon which the city has now en-
tered.
With committee so trained in the work of dealing
with men and conducting public affairs can rea-
sonably expect the accomplishment of a genuine tri-
umph in the way OF an exposition. The officials of
neither the cityA the counties the State can have
just for hesitation in cooperating with such a
body Therefore, when the committee meets and fully
organizes the actual work of the exposition may be
said to have begun, 1t is now time for the whole
State to give support to the enterprise for soon
it is that California is in the matter
other States will hasten to assist in the project that
they may share in its benefits
