Importance of the retaining of this vast

The proposed system of irrigation is
to store up the rainfall in the mountain
Gus districts in huge reservoirs, letting
1t out as needed in the valleys below.
The average precipitation in the upper
districts is about twenty inches per an
mum. It rises, however, sometimes as
high as seventy-five inches, at which
times, instead of a blessing, it becomes
curse to the bottom lands below, which
are swept of every vestige of life
The canyons of the upper plains, the
catch-basins of the lower hills and the
narrow upper valleys can all be used
as storage basins with comparatively lit
tie cost
The rainfall over the entire region is
ample, if properly distributed and hus-
banded, to render the entire surface
profitable, either for cultivation or for
pasturage.
A federal system of irrigation will bring
about change in the common law of
water rights. This change is foreshad-
owed in a proposition passed by the irri-
cation convention of California in 1887
and recommended as an amendment to
the constitution:
First = The declaration that every
stream and water source is public prop
erty.
Seeond-That the appropriation for ben
eficial uses of any such stream must be
made under legislative enactment.
A certain political party in Colorado
'resolved that the waters of the state be-
longed to the land they irrigate, and we
favor a system of irrigation that looks
to the benefit of the irrigator, as primary
to the assumed rights of the riparian"

$500 EnR A KISS.

Miss Catherine Grey wants $500 for a
kiss which Richard Mansfield placed on
her crimson lips and did not remove, or
give her an opportunity to return. AS
consequence she was charged with the
storage of that kiss, to her great in
convenience and discomfort, for which
she asks the court to render judgment
in the sum of $500 and costs ard for
such other and further relief as in equity
may seem just
There is something wrong about this,
or our ideas of the stage and stage people
have been slightly inverted.
Why should Miss Grey object to kiss
or two on the stage? Stage kisses don't
count, and kissing is not so bad after
all, except as a germ transmitter. Mss
Grey alleges in her complaint thai she
received such a shock that she was pros
trated and was compelled to expend
divers and sundry sums of money for
medical attendance and drugs Think of
1t! A full grown woman, and on the
stage-painted and powdered as they
sometimes are-think of a woman being
shocked by a kiss! Mayhap, this man
Mansfield, has a battery attached, which
turns him into somewhat of a live wire
If this be SO, the lady must have known
it, and should have been properly in
sulated-glass heels on her dainty boots
and enamel on her lips. Then she could
have approached the shocking Mansfield
with radiant SMILE her mind free of
the haunting fear of horrid shock So
soon as their lips became glued in the
lingering embrace of the stage kiss. The
trial of this case will be Interesting, not
only from social but from a scientific
standpoint.

The people demand that the war in
the Philippines be terminated with all
possible firlnness and dispatch, and when
that has been accomplished, they ex-
pect the administration to inaugurate a
just and liberal policy towards the Fill
ipinos, and if the administration fails
or falls short on these demands, it will
mean inevitable retribution for the party
it represents.
The people will expect the policy
towards the Filipinos to be both just and
liberal. The sense of justice is very
strong with the American people and
they will not tolerate any wrong, in
Justice or oppression in our new pos
sessions. The people will not stand open
to the charge of owning colonies with
conquered subjects deprived of their
rights and liberties. The people want TO
feel that the Filipinos are enjoying the
same liberties, rights, and privileges as
the people of the United States them
selves. This is the kind of a policy the
people demand for the Philippines and
they will accept no other.
1t will be we'll for the administration
to promise the Filipinos self-government
and to give them such forms of self
government as the situation may war
rant, and as soon as. possible. Tt will be
WE'LL however, to restrict the franchise
to those who are at least able to read
and write and own certain amount Of
taxable property. It might also be well
to introduce that feature OF fhe Belgian
franchise laws, whereby a man under
certain conditions gets more than one
vote. Thus an extra vote is given to
every man that has the equivalent of a
college education and heavy taxpayer
gets an extra vote for every stated
amount of tax. Thus a man has the
privilege to cast a certain number of
votes in direct proportion to the taxes
he pays. This would put the govern
ment in the hands of the most conserva.
tive and best qualified clements. II

who locate there in business, to take an

CUR ARID DOMAIN.

With strong probability of a bill be-
ing presented in the next congress to
appropriate large sum of money to
institute a national irrigation system,
for the purpose of retaining our arid
domain, the extent Of that domain, the
benefits to accrue and the work already
done by the government in that direction,
may be at this time of universal inter
est
The actual work done along the line
of promoting irrigation has heretofore
been done by individuals, and syndicates,
assisted in a few instances by state au-
thorities. AS the scheme of irrigation,
like that Of transportation, covers many
states, it properly belongs to the federal
government
In 1887 congress made an appropriation
of 100000 to be used by the director of
the geological survey, for the purpose
of ascertaining the feasibility of estab-
fishing reservoirs of water with view
to the establishment Of a system Of irri
cation, and to ascertain to what extent
the arid regions of the United States
can be benefited by such a system Upon
the report of Mr.. Powell at the next ses-
sion of congress another $3.50 900 was ap-
propriated to further the investigation.
Following out the instructions of the
interior department., surveys have been
made Of the possible reservoirs in the
mountain regions and the foot hills, esti-
mates have been made upon the cost.
and the amount of arid land, and that
which can be reclaimed for agricultural
purposes, has been determined as well
as that for timber and grazing.
The precipitation has been accurately
measured, and all other data secured
necessary to an intelligent undertaking
of national system.
The region embraced in the arid halt
extends from about the Tooth meridian
west of Greenwich or the 9th west of
Washington to the coast. A line drawn
from a point near DEVILS Lake, N.
D.. south through Dodge City, Kan.
cutting off a portion of the Indian Terri
tory and the Fan Handle of Texas will
give a very good idea of the line of
demarkation between the region of mod
erately sure crops and that which must
depend upon irrigation. East of this
line in many cases the agriculturtst
would be UNNECESSARILY benefited by irri-
cation. In fact any portion of the coun-
try is liable to be visited by drought
witness the Red river valley.

AT THE THEATERs.
METROPOLITAN.

Two large Thanksgiving audiences wit
messed the first presentation in St Paul
of Jerome K. Jeromes comedy, "Miss
Hobbs yesterday afternoon and evenre
at the Metropolitan theater. The comedy
is bright one and while 1t is an up to
date version of 1.-THE Tanning of the
Shrew,' it is built on sufficiently original
lines to free it from any suggestion of
imitation. The play is full Of the clever
sayings that one has learned to expect
from the pen of Jerome, and the humor,
of which there is plenty, is of the spon-
taneous sort. One fault might be found
with the comedy, though the fault viii
probably never stand in the way of its
success. For some reason the author
las failed to surround his characters
with that andef1nabie atmosphere of
breeding which, whatever their morals,
belongs to the class he seeks to portray
This failure is not marked. it is almosc
intangible, but it is there. The story tells
of woman, young and pretty woman,
who possesses a mortal antipathy to-
ward all men. Like Tennyson's "Prin-
cess she conceives of a home that VIII
be sacred from mans intruding- presence;
a home where she and her friends may
enjoy themselves in feminine seclusion.
When the curtain rises on the second act,
showing the interior of this ideal home
the women, alas for Miss Hobbs theor-
les; are all yawning. OF course the ANA
zonian young person meets the one posi-
bic man, and he tames his shrew in d
somewhat more pleasing, because milder
fashion than that other shrew was tanned.
The best scene in the play is laid in the
cabin of the yacht. That little disserta-
ton on the .'sawdust dolP' spoken by
Wolff Kingsearl was quite worthy of Je-
rome x. Jerome.
The company presenting Miss Hobbs"
last night was capable, if not superior.

A WISH.

What to me are heavens glories,
Precious stones and streets of gold,
Silken robes, and gems and jewels,
Many mansions, wealth untold?
All these dazzling, bright surroundings
Would but mar my heavenly bliss;
For I've not been educated
Up to such life as this
It is not in wealth and splendor
That my simple nature thrives,
But in friendship, love and kindness,
Taking part in others lives.
When you tell me of heaven,
Tell me of a land of rest,
Where our dearest friends shall greet us
In the mansions of the blest.
How my heart would ache with sorrow
In the dazzling realms above
Should I 'waken there tomorrow
And not find the ones 1 love!
May in prophetic visions,
When the sun of life descends.
Through the mists across the river,
See the faces of my friends.
