Washington. Feb. S.--Representa-

who attained great prominence in the
64th congress by his earnest champion
ship OF free silver. assailed his Demo-
cratic colleagues today for their oppo-
sition TO expansion In speech that
made the floor and galleries roar. Sib-
ley had recanted his views on free
silver. and is now generally out Of line
with his colleagues on the Democratic
side. He insisted today that expan-
sion was an original Democratic doc
trine promulgated by Jefferson. and
adhered to by Madison, Jackson, Tyler,
Polk and buchanan. In eloquent Ian.
euage he pictured the destiny OF the
United States carrying tho arts OF
peace and the story OF the cross to the
remotest corners of the globe. Sibley
received an impressive demonstration
when he closed.
The remainder of the debate today
was uninteresting. II touched the
questions Of mediation In the Trans

been pretty thoroughly established,
that moisture begets moisture and
that because of this the whole west

be fed more freely and there is nc
danger, he thinks, that the old Mis-

in discussing the matter, .'how a few

Mr. Reeder's experience as an irri-
gationist is interesting. Several
years ago he began to make expert
ments on very large scale. having
indeed an irrigation farm of 2,5OO
acres eight miles west of the town of
Logan. which he contemplated bring
ing under cultivation by artificial
means.

of the stream His plan succeeded so

Reeder'S Scheme.
How He Proposes to Irrigate the
Great West

Great West.
The subject OF irrigation promises
to get generous share of attention
gress, and in the agitation n Kansas
member, Mr.. Reeder, will take a lead
ing part.
| Mr.. Reeder is perhaps as well quail
| flied to advise upon this subject as
any man in Kansas, he being the pio-
neer in experiments along that line
| in the Sunflower state. He has been
made member of the Committee on
Irrigation.
Mr.. Reeder has just introduced a
| joint resolution which for boldneSs of
conception and for possible far-reacl-
ing results, is calculated to make the
average man dizzy who follows it. 1t
is, in fact, plan to divert the waters
| Of the Missouri river from point
where il makes sharp turn eastward
in southern South Dakota. to the sun
kissed plains of Kansas. known in
straight English as the short grass
country.
But this measure is only prelimi-
1t provides tibet a commission, to con-
sist of three Representatives and two
Senators, shall be appointed to ascer-
tain if the plan be feasible, and to
place the sum of s25,0 900 at its dispo-
sal, this sum not to be exceeded.
At first blush this would seem a
most high-handed proceeding when
the riparian rights of those on the old
river channel below the point of di-
version Is considered. But Mr.. Reed
er declares it will not make particle
of difference in the size of the old
stream (unless indeed it be made
stronger) and he bases this assertion
on the experience and study of fifteen
wears.
1t is Mr. Reeder's idea that the
ditch should be made about 200 feet
wide, although this is a matter to be
settled by the commission should the
plan be found practicable.
After the ditch has been dug
short distance southwark "a lateral
branch can be extended to the east
ward, and it is his idea that the
scheme will be made practically self
supporting from Tile HTSG Qdy Dy tue
sale of perpetual water rights to set
tiers. A perpetual water right would
sell for $40 an acre, and on this basis
the government would soon be reim-
bursed for all the money advanced in
the project
Every acre of irrigated land, it is
figured, is worth 800, and this has
been demonstrated in Colorado where
hundreds of acres of arid plain have
been reclaimed. 1t was well nigh
valueless before, and now anv sort of
vegetation thrives there, and who has
not tasted the big, mealy Colorado
potatoes grown on irrigated land2
Mr.. Reeder's proposed irrigation
ditch IL it goes through, would prob
ably start southwark at "a point near
Pierre, S d. 1t would have about 400
miles to extend before it reached
Kansas, and Mr. Reeder thinks that
the atmospheric conditions would be
changed in Western Kansas long be- !
fore the actual advent of the ditch

In an address delivered at Unity

The Moral Duties of Lawyer" He
took the position that upon the should
ers of the lawyer rest a great part of
the obligation for general Improvement,
and that the bread winning part of the
lawyers work lies specially in the en-
forcement of the law. He said that law
yers often render great economic ser
vices to society, and that they often
accomplish desirable moral results by
arranging compromises and quite as Of
ten act the part of real christian men
by fighting matters through until the
moral right of the controversy is clearly
ascertained. He took the position that
one of the greatest moral opportunities
of the lawyer is in the influence Of his
own personal example.
In closing his address he said: 1.-THE
constant struggle over meum and tuum,
the constant association with selfish
passions, the constant search for inn
mediate results, the constant rushing
from one controversy to another, the
constant temptation to sophistry, the
frequent miscarriage of justice-all
these things do tend to harden a man,
to make him skeptical, cynical ultra
conservative and generally hopeless.

acting influences always at work. The

To the Editor of the State Journal:
My first impression of the Filipinos
was that they were an ignorant class of
people, but on close observation 1 find
them a very intelligent class of people;
far superior to the Italian and Poles of
America: You can't tell much about
them until you can speak their lang
uage; only a small per cent of them can
not read and write. They are all ed
ucated in Catholic schools. William
Strong, a private in company K, is
teaching school here in the Y. NJ. G. A.
tent; he has about forty scholars; they
learn to read very rapidly. Cebu island
is one of the most healthful islands of
the Philippine group; very little sick
ness prevails; only five men are in the
hospital out of two companies, NJ. and
K.
We landed in Manila Bay December

January 7th, we started up a deep ra-
vine over rocks and through water, for
the Filipino forts on Sudland noun
tains. We halted about 3 o'clock and
waited for it to get light, and at Sis the
fun started. When I looked at the forts
1 expected to see a hard fight, but was
badly mistaken. 1t was simply a small
skirnish. We captured fourteen rifle
pits, forts, cannons and killed ten
natives. I could say one thousand ma
tives like some of the soldiers did, but

wounded, none seriously; and we
