1T Is THE PLAIN TRCTH.

There is a very firm foundation for the
New York Evening Posts warning TO
the Republican campaign mana gers that
Mr.. Mckinley's policy OF imperialism
and militarism will result In the loss to
the Republican ticket of the German
American vote that has heretofore con-
tributed SO largely to Republican sue
cess In certain States.
This element Of American citizenship
has taken pains to impress upon the
President realization of the TACT that
German-Americans cannot follow the
Republican party In the path of Empire.
From the day when Mr.. Mckinley, for
getting his Americanism in his imperial
greed, refused to treat with or to recog-
nize the Filipino patriots and thus forced
the war in the Philippines, the German
Americans have been frank with the
President. They have repeatedly served
notice that 1t was not possible to men
Of their blood to assist in fastening upon
their adopted country the twin curse OF
militarism and Imperialism under which
they had been compelled to exile them
selves from their Fatherland.
1t would seem that Mr. Mckinley and
his advisers have counted confidently on
a German-American fealty to Republic
anism SO blind that no mistake of pol
icy and no sin Of false doctrine could
ALLEVIATE them from the Republican par
ty. The new Republican dream Of En-
pire, the Republican plot of an imperial
alliance with England, the stern Repub-
ican refusal to recognize the justice of
the Boer cause, the Republican hostility
to Germany so unfailingly manifested,
these developments have come in rapid
succession to amaze and to antago-
nize the German-American vote. And
through 1t all the continued Protests Of
the COMMUNICATIONS have gone un-
needed.
The effect Of this astounding indiffer-
ence to German-American sentiment will
surely be felt in November The New
York Evening Post, which earnestly sup
ported Mr.. Mckinley In 1896, is now tell
ing the President a plain truth. The
German-American vote against imperial
ism, militarism and toryism will defeat
MIR. Mckinley for reelection to the Pres
idency of the United States.

MIR. BRYAN,s POWER.

Mr.. Bryan, as the accepted leader Of
receiving from his party such proofs Of
absolute confidence and recognition Of
his authority as have seldom been given
TO a political chief in this or any other
country.
Putting to one side the fact that Mr..
Bryans claim 10 a denomination for the
presidency has never been questioned
since the close Of the campaign of 1885,
the further and even more significant
fact remains that in no details of the
party's policy for the campaign Of 1900
is his right to dictate the party's course
denied or opposed. The national plat
form to be adopted by the Kansas City
Convention will be that most acceptable
10 Mr.. Bryan. The Democratic nominee
for Vice President will be- chosen in ac-
cord with Mr.. Bryan's wishes. The
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, who will have charge Of the
campaign now opening, will be of Mr..
Bryan's selection. The campaign will
be conducted as Mr. Bryan directs.
When ii is remembered that there ia
no Bryan machine to enforce this
obedience of a great party-as there was
a Mckinley machine" at Philadelphia
under Mark Hanna's control to dominate
that convention and to now take charge
of the Republican campaign-such an in
stance OF great party's compliance
with the wishes of one man is remark
able indeed. 1t is a tribute to Mr..
Bryan's personality which is at the same
time eloquent in its proof of Democratic
harmony. 1t should contain the bright
est promise and assurance of Demo-
cratic success at the polls.

tight reservoir, and it will accumulate
until it has volume which can be

cost of the reservoir which collected it.
Yet millions of such springs are allow

destroy much good land unless drain

lost. Only people who have learned
the value Of irrigation can appreciate
the value of this waste and the ease
with which it can be turned to profit
A little spring which runs gallon a
minute yields 14,4OO gallons in ten
days. This is water enough, if kept
from leakage and evaporation. to cover
half an acre Of ground to the depth Of
one inch, and the same volume flowing
continuously would be equal to an an
nual rainfall of 361a inches for the
same area. Thus trickling stream
from spring becomes q measurable
factor in production. and from this
minimum flow and acreage one can
easily calculate what large flows will
amount to, whether they come from
spring or windmill or other source.
Simply collect the water into a recepta.
Gle Of known capacity and note the
time required to fill 1t, and calculation
as, to reservoir capacity needed and
the area which may be covered in the
distribution are easy. Allowance must
be made for approximate evaporation
from the surface of the water in the
reservoir. Further allowance must be
made for loss by leakage, which will
vary with the nature of the soil in
which the reservoir is constructed and
the manner Of construction.
An inch over the whole surface irri-
gated once in ten days or three inches

establish an oasis of fruits and vege.

Obviously the small receiving and
distributing reservoir should be above
the highest point of the land to be ir-
rigated and below the source of the
water except with pumping outfits. The
first thought in small affairs in billy
regions is to initiate large undertake
ings and dam the natural channel and
back the water in the small ravine

wise perhaps, but it is also difficult to
escape loss of seepage~ and to get suffi-
