Utilizing Nature.-

As civilization progressed, ditches or troughs by easy transition, replaced the man with the bucket as the means of leading the water on to land. Ridges a few inches in height were raised around small patches of ground and the water was permitted to run in until the soil was GOV cred when the gap was closed in this square and an open ing made in the next. After a long apprenticeship man gradually acquired a knowl- edge of mechanics and the application ot the forces o1 Nature to his own ends. Crude water wheels were con structed which were propell. ed first by human labor and later by oxen, cows, donkeys or camels and finally by the current of the streams.
 The need was water! wa terl water! No matter how laborous the task, water Lad to be gotten. So by these methods, against overwhelm- ing odds, mans struggle with the forces of Nature has continued for untold ages. And today, through the ap- plication of the principles discovered one by one thro many long years of crude methods and slow develop ment, some of the finest and best farming communities are located on irrigated lands, where may be found employ ed in the irrigation schemes some of the most marvellous inventions of human ingenu- ity and skill.

Every time this country has
added territory to her domain
the spectre of the Roman re-
public has been cenjured up to
frighten her out of her new pos
sessions. When Thomas Benton
advocated the acquisition of Ore
gon he was treated to more an
cient history than the average
man hears in a lifetime, but
Thomas had his own way of
looking at the matter. Had the
Roman seat of government been
bound to its distant possessions
by lines of railroad, or by fast
steamers; by telegraph and tele-
phone lines which brought it in
instant touch with any portion
of its domain it might have sur
vived. A close student of
Roman history, however, will
find that there were material
differences between the Roman
form OF government and the
form of government of the Uni
ted States, even barring the
question of colonies. Conditions,
too, were somewhat different.
It is doubtful if that portion of
the United States lying west of
the Rockies could be indefinitely
governed from Washington if it
had no better means of commit
nication and transportation than
were possessed by the Romans.

BRYAN A POPULIST.

A brief consideration of Mr..
Bryan's traits and surroundings
will satisfy those who still claim
to belong to the traditional DEM
ocratic party that its present
leader is sapping away its old
principles and characteristics and
that to follow him can lead no.
where except to populisn, says
the Globe-Democrat. There is
no state in the Union where the
old democratic party is more
nearly extinct than in Nebraska.
In 1892 the total vote of the
state was 200, 1872, of which
Cleveland received only 24,o43,
or about IL per cent. The re-
publicans carried the state by a
small plurality, but the vote for
Populist Weaver was 83,134.
Bryan's own vote went to Wea-
yer, whose platform favored the
printing of greenbacks to be
loaned to citizens at per cent,
and the government ownership
of railroads. Bryan says he
voted for Weaver because leading
democrats recommended it as
good strategy. But there was
evidently a difference of opinion
OH this point, for over $4,000
Nebraska democrats stuck to
their own party in spite of the
facile advisers who held that sue
cess was more important than
fidelity to principles.
All that remained of a dis
tinct democratic party in 1896
was the Palmer vote of 2,88S,
and in the following year the
separate democratic vote dwin-
died to us. In the returns of
1898 it was entirely absent,
nothing remaining except the
republicans, the fusionists, with
the populist dominant, and the
prohibitionists.
In Nebraska the democratic
party is hopelessly scattered, abb
sorbed and practically elimina-
ted. Mr.. Bryan feels most at
home when addressing the popu-
lists of the Northwest. Among
them he is in his true element.
No record exists of his opposing
their wishes, and the reason is
that he writes their platform and
directs personally their political
action. There are many demo-
Gratis at Kansas City who have
reached the same state of recep-
tiveness. They are for or
against a proposed plank accord
ing to Bryan's preference.

of Mr.. Bryan that no matter
who is elected ''the gold stand
ard law is in effect and will remain
in effect throughout the coming
administration.' Thanks for
the assurance, but somehow, we
would much rather have Mr..
Mckinley administer it. The
idea of compelling Mr.. Bryan to
execute law which he processes
to believe would destroy this re-
public seems almost savage in
its cruelty. Yes, Mr.. Mckinley
would be better, much better.
