Increase In bank Deposit..

The prosperity prevailing in the ag-
ricultural towns is shown clearly by
II comparison made in the Wapello Re-
publican. Four years ago the single
bank in Wapello, Ia, had 225 deposit
ors with $3l ,6s1 to their credit. Now
that bank has TAI depositors with de-
posits of $l31,76o or an increase OF
over 300 per cent. The Republican,
upon Investigation, found that theso
deposits were held almost entirely by
citizens of the county and are to the
credit chiefly of farmers and people
who live on wages and salaries. Ac-
tual investigation showed that the
wage earners were possessors of over
30 per cent. of the money in the bank.
II is not possible to make similar in
vestigations in larger cities and
towns, but it is likely that the case
in Wapello is typical. The. increased
bank deposits shown everywhere are
proof that wage earners are not only
making a better living than ever they
did before, but that they are able to
lay aside something, too, for "rainy
day" The "rainy day" will come
when Mr.. Bryan, or any one holding
his views. shall be elected TO the pres
idency. Then there will be dwin-
ding in the number of depositors and
their holdings.-Chicago Tribune.

Candidates Error Regarding
"Treaty" with SuIu.

Acting Secretary Meiklejohn, of the
war department. has addressed the
following letter to w. j. Bryan:
Washington. ID. c.. Oct. 6. 1900-Dear
Sir: In the press reports yesterday Of your
address at Upton. Ind. In which you re-
ferred to the overthrow OF human slavery
in the United States resulting from the sue
cess of the armies OF the union. you are
also reported as saying In that connection:
1--we fought then for the adoption OF
constitutional amendment that provided
that no man could own slave, and yet be-
fore the Philippine war is ended We have
the Sulu treaty. which recognizes slavery
Permit me to invite your attention to the
following extract from the letter of the
secretary of war to Maj. Gen. e. s. Otis.
commanding the United States forces In
the Philippines. under date of october Y,
1899:
The president instructs me to advise
you that the agreement signed August 20,
1899, between Brig. Gen. John c. Bates, rep
resenting the United States, OF the one
part. the sultan of Jolo. the Dato Ratah
Muda. the Dato Attik the Dato Calbi and
the Dato Joakanain, of the other part, Is
confirmed and approved subject to the ac-
ton of congress provided for In that clause
OF the treaty of peace between the United
States and Spain which provides 1.-The civil
rights and the political status of the native
Inhabitants of the territory hereby coded
to the United States shall be determined by
congress-" and with the understanding
reservation, which should be distinctly
communicated to the sultan of Jolo, that
this agreement Is not to be deemed In any
way to authorize or give the consent OF the
United States to the existence of slavery in
the Sulu archipelago, thing which is made
impossible by the thirteenth amendment
to the constitution of the United States
1T is probably unnecessary to call your
attention to the fact that In the absence of
the approval of the president II is impossi-
BILE for us to have the Sulu treaty or any
other treaty. Respectfully,
&c. ID. MEIKLEJOHN.

in which to reincorporate under the
general laws of the state, and providing
that the question of damages be re-
ferred TO court of competent jurisdic-
ton for determination.
Passes the House.
Lansing, Mich, Oct. 12.-Tbe joint
resolution authorizing submission to
the people at the general election in
November of constitutional amend
ment permitting the taxation of rail-
roads and other corporations on the
cash value of their property passed
the house at noon yesterday. The
senate also passed the joint resolu-
ton, amending it, however, so that the
legislature shall fix IA uniform rate Of
taxation, instead of classifying the
corporations, the rate to be the aver
age rate paid upon other property.
Special Session Ends.
Lansing. Mich. Oct. 13.-The two
houses of the Legislature adjourned
early Friday evening after transacting
all of the business mentioned in the
proclamation of the governor. The
two houses got together on the form
of the constitutional amendment rel.
ative to the taxation of corporations,
which will be submitted to the people
at next months election, and passed
the measure by an almost unanimous
vote. The question which divided the
two houses was as to the average rate
of taxation which corporations to be
assessed on the cash, value of their
property by state board of assessors
should pay. 1t was finally agreed to
make this such average rate as the
state assessors should determine to
be the average rate paid by other
property upon which adj valorem taxes
are assessed for state, county, town
ship, school and municipal purposes.
Mode of Procedure.
Friday morning the house passed
without discussion the bill providing
the mode of procedure for railroad
companies to follow in proceeding
against the state to recover damages
for the repeal of their special char
tiers, and also the several repeal bills.
The senate had these bills under adj
visement for several hours and then
passed them. only one vote being re-
corded in the negative.
"Alrs Well That Ends Well"
Gov. Pingree, whose relations with
the senators were far from cordial
during the last two sessions, was in
vited by unanimous vote to address
the senate, and he responded in feel
ing speech. Gov. Pingree was later
invited to address the house, and re-
sponded i'm the same vein as in the
senate, remarking in conclusion that
"all's well that ends WELL The ses-
sion closed with the singing in unison

LACK OF

Agriculture and Irrigation in the Rio
Grande Valley" Is the theme of Charles
W. Kindrick in the Consular Report for
August. 1t Is shown that in the valley
below and about Ell Paso and Juarez
agriculture has languished, population
dwindled and business diminished to an
apparently hopeless condition, due to
the lack OF sufficient water to irrigate
the soil. Fruit trees have withered and
died, alfalfa farms have burned and
persisted, and vine yards one producing
an abundance of grapes for shipment.
have ceased TO yield. Formerly there
were in the valley below the Gate city
about 10000 inhabitants. while now
there are less thar 5000. This condition
has been created by the fac that more
water than formerly has been drawn
from the river In Colorado and New
Mexico. There, population Ia rapidly
increased and agriculture has been ex-
Tended to the limit of the rivers capa-
city TO supply irrigation. According 10
the census OF 1890 1000 persons were en-
gagged in the cultivation OF 100, 600 acres
of land In the Rio Grande valley OF New
Mexico. The number of persons en-
gagged In agriculture and the number OF
acres added TO those already cultivated
