FOR NATIONAL IRRIGATION.
Eastern Interest in it's Possibilities is
 Growing.


 Evidence comes to show that the national irrigation movement is not dead, but that on the contrary it has taken a firm hold, particularly of the people of the east, where opposition has been the strongest. On the l1th of August, the Missouri Press Associa- tion adopted ringing resolutions pledg- ing itself to urge upon Congress and upon individual Senators and Repre- sentatives, irrespective of party, the necessity for the construction of storage Reservoirs by the Federe Government in order to redeem Arid America and to control the floods of the Mississippi. The resolutions were comprehensive and broad.
 On the same day the National Asso- citation of Merchants and Travellers, at Chicago, at a special meeting of their executive committee to decide whether they would take hold of the National irrigation movement, adopted the following trenchant resolutions:
 Whereas, The building of great storage reservoirs and canals by the federal government, as advocated by the National Irrigation Association, would transform the great arid region of the west into a fertile territory, capable of sustaining a greater popula- ton than inhabits the whole United States to-day, and would practically double our national wealth and re- sources, enormously enlarging our home markets and increasing our trade and commerce and the prosperity of the whole people of the United States, now therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the Federal Asso. citation of Merchants and Travellers will give its active and vigorous sup port to the national irrigation move ment, and we urge upon the people of the United States, and especially upon all merchants and manufacturers and commercial organizations in every part of the country, that they eo- operate in aid of the movement"
 The fact is, that eastern merchants and business men generally recognize, the moment that it is. called to their attention, the vast possibilities which open before them, in the reclamation of the Arid West through compre- hensive storage reservoir system. It takes no prophet to see that with the opening to settlement of millions of acres of the most productive land of the world and it's population by thrifty, industrious and well-to-do farming communities, an immense market, the superior of any in the world and almost at and within our very doors, will be opened to the thousands of American factories look ing for places to sell their products, while they in turn would be so stimulated as to make heavy demands upon eastern farmers to feed the hundreds of thousands of their em- ployes.

SENATOR HANNA.

Whenever the democrats have moth
ing else to do they paint Senator Han
ma as a labor oppressor and a labor
erusher.
Hanna is making some speeches him
self now and he is one Of the most eff
fectiYe orators on the stump.
He Dis a business man speaking to
business men and he repeated at Chi
cago the other day the challenge he
made to the democrats four years ago,
that If any one OF them would show
that he ever oppressed a man who had
worked for him, had not treated his
men fairly IA al things, had yer made
q move to reduce their wages, or In any

worked for him, he would resign from
the senate.
The democrats SO far have not taken.
up Senator Hanna's challenge. They
will not do it this time, because inVes
tigation into Hanna's character and
methods would show him to be what
he is, a clean cut business man and q
good citizen. If the democrats SER
mitted this to be shown, they would
lose another boyle man.
The democrats need all the boyle
mel they can muster this year.

Mr.. Bryan helped acquire the Phil
ippines, by working for the ratification
of the peace treaty. Having acquired
them, they were our territory. Being
u territory, the outbreak Of Aguin-i
aldo's forces was rebellion, just as
much as the attempted secession OF the
confederacy in the civil war. Accord
ing to Bryan, Lincoln should have
turned the co%nfederacy over to JEFF
Davis, because he was governing
without the consent Of the governed"
Mr.. Bryan's logic is as full Of holes as
a sieve.

The Philadelphia Record expresses
the opinion that Kansas, which gave
her electoral votes to Bryan four years
ago, will cast them for Mckinley this
year, and gives uhe following reasons:
while there has been a shortage in
the wheat crop in certain states, Kan
sas has been blessed with an abundant
harvest, which will add many millions
of dollars to the wealth OF the state.
Presumably the majority of the farm
ers who participate in this remarkable
and in some counties unprecedented
prosperity will not vote for the presi-
Dental candidate who stands irrevoc-
ably pledged to silver imitation and for
the impairment of the purchasing
power of the money in the hands of
the people. The farmer who has
turned his labor and skill and the pro-
d%uctiYity OF his land into dollars-into
good dollars, or dollars of equivalent
purchasing poWer-can have no sym
pathy OF afiliation with Organism if he.
consults his interests. This lis the inn
mediate issue with the Kansas farmer,
who has converted his crops into cash
He is likely to think about it. The in
crease in the deposits in the Kansas
banks since the dolefuI days of 1856
has been more than $25,O00,OOO. Mort
cages representing many millions have
been satisfied. 1t is roughly estimated:
that the wheat crop Of this year is
worth $60,0OO,OOo. The value of live
stock has almost doubled since 1885,
The combined value of live stock and
agricultural products has increased in
the period to the extent of $~112,958,2U7.
The yield OF the wheatfields in certain
Kansas counties this year has been in
credibly enormous. Topeka
Capital says that the combined value
Of the last three wheat crops OF Sum
ner county equals the value OF all the
farm land In the county. The yield
this year is estimated ait $4,5O0,0OO, or
an average Of $1,000 for every family.
Il toWnspeople be excluded, the money
yielded would be 5000 for each fam
lily. The Topeka Capital exultantly
asks. Where is there another spot on
earth where two thousand farmers in
three successive years raised $4,000
900 worth OF wheat aIone?, The re-
publican party is committed To- the
preservation of the gold standard UNI
der which these fortunate Kansas
farmers have this year garnered mil
lions Of dollars possessing the buying
power and exchangeable value Of gold.
They would be strangely oblivioas OF
the significance of this fact IL they
should cast their votes for the cham
pion OF 30 If IS cent dollars.

In closing an address to the Nc
Kinley club at Fargo, Congressman
Spalding spoke of the matter of the
disappointments in Cass county as to
the results Of the republican state
convention. He showed how narrow
a majority the republicans had in the
house, and pointed out the fact that
it would take only the change Of seven
members to change its complexion.
He insisted that North Dakota could
not afford to, and would not for a
moment think of, sending a democrat
to the house Of representatives, and
referred back to the time when re-
publican treachery in our own legis-
lative body sent Mr.. Roach to the SEN
ate and changed its complexion. He
insisted that all republicans should
work harmoniously and enthusiast
tieally for the whole republican ticket
and make it clear that the greatest
act OF friendship to himself would be
to stand by the republican ticket all
the way through and pile up the ma
jorities.

Letter of Chicago is a son-in-law of
Uncle Sam, has been making a regal
and triumpha1 tour of the northwest
provinces with Lady Curzon. 1t was
the more triumphal and pleasing to
the people of India because it followed
an extra-hazardous journey through
the plague and Administration prov

CurzOn accompanied him with true
American pluck The two trips were
made by the viceroy in following out
his conception of his duties as laid
down by him in a speech in, Lucknow

their deputies could not hold aloof
nowadays, but had to descend from
the throne and ming1e with other peo-
pie.

with all their wealth. Elephants trap

Agra, where they were in camp for

and provided entertainment such as
the wonderful and refined city of Chi

Lucknow, Jebbulpore, Gwa11or and

was FILLED With Live COons, and the

Farmer George Brown, of Chester
willie, went into the woods the other
day to get fuel, and he got a better load
than he expected. He saw a giant pine
stub or dead trunk, on the edge of an
icy marsh, cut it down and began to
chop it into lengths Soon he felt his
ak strike something soft it broke
through the shell of the stub. Think
ing that there might be bear inside,
Brown proceeded cautiously, using
wooden wedges to split the stub apart.
When the hollow, dry log fell in
halves there in the cavity lay eight
fat coons, snug1y housed away for the
winter. Further up in the trunk were
two more cOons, while in the stump
