places. with the privilege OF doing business
by entering into competition with these

country now being artificially watered.
For market gardening and growing of
high priced products, irrigation has proven
highly successful. Few people are aware
that the rice planters of Louisiana irrigate
over 100000 acres. The canals to water
the rice fields along the South Atlantic
coast were III use more than a century be-
fore Brigham Young's followers cut the
first bitches from City Creek in Utah. The
area of land covered by reserves, or reser-
voirs, as western irrigators call them, is
greater than the acreage covered by such
reservoirs in any arid State, and the volume
of stored water is equally as large. Recently
there has been a tendency TO extend this
use of water to other crops, notably on
truck farms. If this shall prove profitable
the physical conditions are favorable for
the irrigation of a large portion of land
along both the South Atlantic and Gulf
coasts. Canals to water these level bottom
lands along the coast rivers can be dug for
far less outlay than has to be expended on
many of the canals in the arid West where
rocky canyons and precipitous slopes must
be trayersed to reach the plains yet awaiting
reclamation. Recent experiments in
Louisiana show that the irrigation of
forage crops is exceedingly profitable;
hence it does not seem TO be unreasonable
to anticipate that we may have i'll this
section of the South irrigation works rival
ing in magnitude those Of Piedmont and
Lombardy.

Capt. Mahan on the War.

Capt. A. II. Mahan contributes an article
on "The Merits of the Transvaal Dispute
TO the March number of the North Ameri-
can Rerie1U, in which he maintains that the
war in which Great Britain is now engaged
is a just war, which, in consequence of the
action taken by the BOer Government, she
could not have avoided without dishonor
Capt. Mahan, analyZing the conventions
of 1881 and 1884, and referring TO declara-
tons made in Parliament when the latter
Convention was concluded, contends that
Great Britain never relinquished her suzer-
ainty over the South African Republic;
and that, since tina. Republic was ex-
pressly denied the right 10 hold Independent
relations with foreign countries, Great
Britain was bound to see that the subjects
of foreign States were so treated as to give
no just ground for reclamations-to say
nothing of her duty TO secure proper con-
ditions of life for her own subjects in the
Transyaal. He says:
''The political relation of the Transvaal
to Great Britain is certainly not the same
as that OF one of our States to the central
Government; but Great Britain, by retain
ing the ultimate control of foreign relations,
and by her well-defined purpose not to per-
NIT interference in the Transvaal by a
foreign power, was responsible for condi-
tions of wrong to foreign citizens within its
borders. She had surrendered the right to
interfere, as suZerain, with internal affairs;

but she had not relieved herself, as by a
grant Of full independence aad sovereignty
she might have done, from responsibility
for injury due to internal maladmnistra-
ton; any more than the United States was
relieved of the responsibility TO Italy by the
State sovereignty of Louisiana. The
responsibility thus remaining gave the
right 20 require, not that this or that change
should be made in the internal administers
ton of the Transvaal, but that the condi-
ton Of the foreign population should in
some way be made socially and economic-
ally tolerable. The method was not her
affair, but the result was. Internal affairs

able; but mutual interaction takes place

story of Lincofn's Wonderful Mem
tai and Physical Ability.
Professor Stevens was once work
ing up. a mining case for the govern
ment in a western state where Mr.
Lincoln was practicing law. Mr.. Lin
coin at the time was comparatively un'
known in law and politics. When the
professor engaged his room in the
crowded country hotel, he found that
a Mr.. Lincoln was to OccupysDne bed
in the room, as there was no other
place where he could be accommodate
ed. After arranging his books the pro-
lessor settled down in an easy chair tC
prepare his brief.
Mr.. Lincoln soon came in and made
himself known. He said he also had
to spend the evening making up an
argument upon a mining case, and he
knew less about mines than about any
thing else. In an hour the professor
finished his work and retired, but be-
fore he did so he granted his room
mate the privilege Of using all bis
books, maps and papers upon mines
and mining. Then he went to sleep
and when he awoke at Z the nexl
morning he found Mr.. Lincoln just
where he had left him porting ovel
his books and papers. The lamp was
still burning, although 1t was day
light.
AS Professor Stevens case did not
come up the next day he attended thu
court to hear Mr.. Lincoln present bis
arguments. He reached the scene IL
time for the opening speech by his
roommate, and he staid all through
the session.
Although Mr.. Lincoln spoke for ovel
an hour on the technicalities Of mines
and mining, he did not make single
mistake. He cross examined some
half dozen surveyors and engineers ant
in every case puzzled and embarrassed
| them with his knowledge of the sub
iect. OF course he won the case. Blu
Professor Stevens said that everybody
in the court believed he had been grad
uated In mining engineering and hat
