The San Diego Vidette says
that while it is true that irriga-
tion on a general scale is yet in
it's infancy in this country, it has
gone far enough to demonstrate
that private ownership and man
agement of irrigation facilities
is positive hlndrance, rather
than a help to agricultural de-
velopment. The blight which
such stupendous blunders as the
Wright and other irrigation laws
have spread over the country
can never be removed, nor the
losses under them recouped, by
means of any state commission
ers or organizations of private
capital; for the very good reason
that under corporation manage
ment, protected by state COM
missioners, water, like every
other necessary commodity, is
always an article of speculation
for the profit of the private own
ers. We can hardly estimate the
advantages that will flow from
all those utilities being under
one management and operated
for the good of all and not for
the private emolument of the
few. The principle underlying
the entire subject is the fact that
the land, free water, and all nat
ural resources belong to the peO-
pie. Then let the people de
mand that they be used for the
good of all, and the injury of
none. The vast tracts of arid
lands can be converted into
beautiful and fruitful homes for
millions by the proper preserva
tion and distribution of water
which nature produces every
year, but such result will never
be attained by private enter
prise. National irrigation is the
most important question now
before the people, especially of
the great west, and one for
which all should unite in de-
manding the careful attention of
the national authorities.

received comparatively little
consideration. A strong reason
why the federal government
should attend to the distribution
of it's waters is that in many
cases reservoirs would have to
be built in one state for the pur-
pose of conserving and holding
water for distribution in another
state. The federal government
alone is in position to do such
work. [ am in favor of the gov
ernment retaining it's public
land, selling it as it always has
sold ito the homeseeker; con-
serving the water so that it may
be distributed to the irrigator
for the lowest possible price and
the profit to be realized from the
cultivation of the soil secured
to the home builder rather than
to corporations formed to sell
water to farmers.

The language of the ferocious
commander of the rough riders
in the Ohio campaign will not
have tendency to win back to
the support of the administra-
tion's Philippine policy, the old
leaders of the republican party
who are to-day opposing it. Such
men as Reed, Hoar, Edmunds,
Mason, and others equally as
eminent and profound in states
manship, are not to be whipped
into the traces by the cry of
"traitor" and "copperhead."
They are governed by reason,
precedent and patriotism, and
not by mercenary motives. They
favor maintaining and adhering
to the form of government hand
ed down to us by our forefathers
and for which they fought and
suffered untold hardships.

How Trusts Do Good.

Those who feel inclined to re-
gard the trusts as beneficial tC
wage earners and consumers art
invited to look upon the obiec
lesson presented in the cours,
of the Windowglass Trust.
By the ukase of this protec-
tion-fattened and Republican
fostered monopoly all the win.
dowglass factories in the coun-
try, with the exception of the
cooperative concerns, were
shut down last Monday. The
excepted concerns produce one
tenth of the output in the Uni
ted States, and they have been
notified that they will be allow
ed to run only until the last
week in June.
By this arbitrary and cruel
action of the trusts 1900 skill
ed and other WOrkingmen, not
including those formerly en-
ployed in Independent factories.
are thrown out of work, regard
less of their unpreparedness to
face the hard conditions thus
thrust upon them and their de-
pendents.
Like its commercial congen-
ers, the WindoWglass Trust be-
gan it's career backed by unlim-
tied capital. It's first step was
to reduce the price of it's prod
uct to a figure which caused the
ruin of all Independent concerns
that dared to compete. It's
next move was to restrict pro-
duction, thus throwing thou
sands of workmen out of employ
ment and raising the price OF
it's warei far above the margin
of reasonable profit.
It has reached a stage of trust
development where ithas crush
ed competition utterly and ex-
nosed at least $4,000 men, wo-

Our war was against Spain for
redress of grievances, and not
against the Philippine islanders
for conquest. When Spain was
vanquished we hauled down her
flag, and ours then foated in
friendship. The amicable re-
lation continued until General
Merritt, fresh from the White
House at Washington, took com
mand and issued an order es
tablishing military line that
was to separate our troops and
the Filipinos into two hostile
camps, and forbidding the en-
trance within our lines of any
of Aguinaldo's command. This
was the commencement of hos
tileties.

Every business man will ad-
nit that a town without news
paper would be a very poor sort
of a town, in fact, almost no
town at all, says the Prescott
Courier. IF each business man
in a town would make up his
mind not to advertise, there
would be noneWspapers in town
in a very short time Hence, it
is good logic to conclude that
business men who advertise in
no local paper are opposed to
the existence of newspapers in
a town. Of course, they are not
so opposed, but if all other busi-
ness men would follow their non
advertising example, the result
would be the same as though
they were opposed. The better
patronage paper gets the bet
ter able it is to deserve that pat
ronage. Further, advertising is
not d gratuity, as the most sue
Cessful business men in the world
have admitted that their success
was due mainly to printers ink.

The sentiments expressed by
one and all of the western men
who attended the recent session
of the National Irrigation Con-
gress, show that the west is a
unit for the policy of urging
upon eastern congressman and
others the rights of it's section
of the country to governmental
aid in reclaiming it's arid lands
and developing its latent re-
sources. The great west, which
constitutes half of the do
main of the United States, and
where lie the bulk of the hun
dreds of millions Of acres of
public land, will demand a just
consideration of it's claims for
recognition at the hands of con-
gress which has not yet been ac-
corded to it.

The True History.

Hon. John r. Mclean, demo
cratic candidate for governor of
Ohio, in a recent speech said:
HThere is no honest man, no
reading man, but who knows
that the democratic party and
the democratic press did all it
could to sustain the admins
tration during the war with
Spain. Every effort was made
to uphold the hand of the presi-
dent, acting for the people.
Partisanship was lost sight of;
loyalty, patriotism, conscience,
took its place. Yet polluted
pOliticiand and selfish men dare
make this an issue at this time.

trations of charity.
AS with the Windowglass
Trust, SO with all other mem
bers of the trust brood. Their
purpose is the enrichment Of
their stockholders. Their sue
cess means the robbery of con-
sumers and the impoverishment
and beggary of those who earn
their bread in the sweat of their
face. Every consideration of
self-preservation, every dictate
of philanthropy, every prompt
ing of patriotism demand that
they be crushed.-St. Louis Re

The Beers and the English are

The supreme court Of Illinois
has been the first to hand down
a decision against trusts. The

We have not taken much interest in
talk about seedless fruits, for the rea-
son that the trees or plants on which
they grow must be propagated by lay
ers or cuttings, both of which involve
much skilled labor. But one advan-
tage may make these fruits profitable.
They would be exempt from. attacks
by insects which place their eggs at
the blossom end of fruits, thst being
the place where the egg may be most
safely and securely deposited, and
from which there is an open way to
She core. The seedess apple would
be like navel orange, solid all the
way through, and with no blossom
end. But if all orchards were seedless
would not the always enterprising in
sect contrive some way to meet this
emergency, and perhaps become more
destructive than ever.

There is great difference in varie-
ties of apple trees as to their habit OF
growth, and judgment is needed IN
portioning out the manure to be used
on each. The strong growing varie-
ties like Northern Spy will need very
little stable manure until they begin
to fall from old age. But there are
other kinds of slow and feeble growth
that even while young can bear some
stimulation with stable manure, es-
pecially if it is composted, and its de-
iciencies of potash and phosphate are
supplied. Coarse manure ought never
to be applied to apple trees at any age.
1t is the fermentation OF manure in the
soil that is the prolific cause OF the
fungus growths that iujure foliage and
fruit more than the manure can help
the tree. The only fertilizers that can
be always used with safety are the
minerals potash and phosphate.

1t is the bulldog fearlessness and
tenacity of an Englishman that makes
him conqueror even when he faces
mob of barbarians. After the bonn
bardment of Alexandria by the Eng
lish fleet had driven the Egyptian
troops out, tie city was looted by
thieves and cutthroats. Three or
four hundred bluejackets were landed,
who stopped the outrages by arresting
every person found with plunder in
his possession.
On arrest person was tried by
drumhead courtmartial, and the SEN
tence, shooting or hogging, was ex-
ecuted without delay. An English
man, Mr.. Hulme Beaman, who as
sisted in furnishing the robbers, de-
scribes in his book, "Twenty Years
in the Near East" dangerous ex-
perience from which he was enabled
to emerge by cool, fearless, bulldog
pluck.
He had been detailed to superintend
the fiogging of two prisoners and the
shooting of third, the sentence to be
carried out at their native village, G
nest of thieves. There were ten
thousand of the riffraff looking on.
Five policemen (Egyptians) and three
Englishmen represented law and order.
The prisoner, sentenced to be shot for
murder, was fitted into n shallow
grave, and the policemen fired volley,
amid the execrations of the mob.
Only Mr.. Beaman and the Egyptian
officer commanding the police under
stood what the mob were saying, and
the Egyptian begged the three Eng
lishmen to get away while yet there
was time. They, however, insisted
on seeing the fogging carried ont,
and remarked that the slightest symp-
tom of fear would excite the mob to
murder them.
The flogging exasperated the crowd,
already excited by the execution,
and they pressed close round the Eng
lishmen.
'It is time to put an end to in6dels
torturing believers!" said q portly
old Arab sheikh, close to Beaman's s
elbow.
The Englishmau seized the Arab,
and told the mob they should be
ashamed of themselves to sympathize
with murderer and thieves. A sui
len silence followed. The prisoner,
placed in a carriage, in which police
man and two Englishmen also rode
the third riding horseback alongside
was driven at a walk through the
dense throng to Alexandria, where a
courtmartial ordered them to be
hogged.
The next year that sheikh called on
Mr.. Beaman at Cairo, brought with
him little presents, admitted the JUS
tice of his punishment, and he and
Mr.. Beaman remained the best of
friends. The faintest sign of weak
ness would have turned that mob into
furious wolves.
