it has slipped the minds of any, then to them let me call attention to the fact that when starvation, butehery, murder, and arson were being caused, perpetrated, and committed by brutal Spain near our doors, and when the strong voice of humane America de- manded that these awful crime against humanity should cease, which resulted in the declaration of war, and which called for American manhood to sustain that American declaration, | Arizona was first to offer her services to her country's cause, first to fill her quota, first to rally on the field, first to prepare for the conflict, first to place foot on foreign soil, and there first to rush on the frowning arms of daring foe, and there, with death-deal- ing valor, first to face death with a smile. Bones that bleached on San Juan Hill and bodies brought home, in addition to the gallant record made under galling fire, tell only too plainly and with pain just how we'll Arizona remembered the Maine. TApplause.l
 And these are the people and this IS the country and these are the condi- tions included in the unjust insinua- tions made by the gentleman from Iowa.
 I know the gentleman too well to charge or even believe that he would misrepresent my people aud my Terri tory knowingly; but he has been mis- informed and has borne that misin- formation into this House, and have borne witness here that his mind may become disdbused.
 Mir. Chairman, in conclusions, little comparison may be in timely order. If so, allow me to call attention to the fact that Iowa was once Territory. She, as such, sought admission into the Union of States, as Arizona has done so long. She was admitted, and at the time when she was she had a population of only 7S,8l9 souls, and with an estimated taxable wealth of but $20, 900 900, while Arizona has over 10l 900 population, with a tax roll of taxpaying property at low valuations of the value of $3l, ,473 ,35O, with ov CT s60,00O, ,00O of mining and other prop erty, together with 419 miles of rail. road, not on the tax book at all.
 Sir, it does seem that the great State of Iowa, now majestic as State, a State that after her admission into the Union increased her wealth more than eight times in ten years, should reach out after and welcome this sun-kissed land, with it's present great fortunes in sight, and with it's greatest possibili- ties in it's arms, into the great Union of States. American fairness suggests it. American precedent invites and demands it. Will American manhood in legislation do 1t? Win it? our unbounded faith is. it will. Loud applause.l

EASTERN papers are beginning to ake up the matter of national irriga- ion, and the more intelligent ones are trongly urging it. The following rom the Philadelphia North American John Wanamaker's psger) has the ight ring;
 Why should there be any antagonism be- ween the irrigators and farmers of the sheat and corn belts? The lands of the rid regions can be put to better uses than aising cereals. When tbey are irrigated, hey are too valuable for such crops. They ught to be devoted to fruit sugar beets, egetables for canning. alfalfa and other roducts to which they arc especially suited. iuch meat in this country, if the prices in se eastern cities are any guide. But when 10 plains in the arid region are irrigated ley can produce enough alfalfa-fed cattle, ieep and hogs to restore peace to the ousekeepers of the Atlantic Coast.
 If we are looking for fields for expansion, ere is the greatest one now open in the orld. It is ten times as great as the Philip mes. and it can be occupied without the st of life. and with the expenditure oi ssmoney than we have already laid out in king possession of the spots of ground held 9 our soldiers on the other side of the acific. We say that the United States overs three million square miles. It does )t. It covers two millions, and it has an her million of arid land, unoccupied and lused. within its borders. Of course. much
 this is uninhabitable mountain and .sert. but there is probably enough capa- of irrigation and cultivation to support least the present population of the Union development would offer new oppor, nies for the investment of capital and the ipIoyment of labor better than those fol aich the nations of Europe are scramblina Asia and Africa. To mention only ont ing. think what it would mean to all ths dustries of the country to have such an. her era of railroad building as that whIcl me to sn end in 1890.
