Our Capacity In Ps.ernallsm.

From the Los Angeles Saturday Postl
 Eight thousand Pima Indians desti- tute and on the verge of starvation; large number of Papagoes dying of want. This is the condition of wards of the nation in Arizona who are peace ful and who have been self-sustaining by means of agriculture in Arizona. In Arizona all agriculture depends on irrigation. To deprive the farmer of water is to deprive him of his farm. The government holds these agricul- tural Indians in tutelage. 1t is sup posed to be benevolent paternalism. Under the government and with its connivance or consent the Indians irri- pation water has been gradually diverted by others until none is now left for their crops.
 This taking of water away from the Arizona agricultural Indians has been going on for some time. Over and over again the governments attention has been officially and unoficially called to the deadly consequences that would necessarily follow the loss of irrigation water. The fact has been repeatedly shown that there. are but two humane and fair things to do about these Indian farms, and one in- humane course. Of the first two one was to protect the Indians in the possession of the irrigation water used l by them from time immemorial; the other was to insure them water by a storage reservoir and special system. The government has done neither, and takes the third method, which is to let them starve. Possibly it may send them the rations Congress has ordered, or such parts as are not stolen, and turn them into paupers. In contrast to this paternal neglect of agricultural Indians, we find the assassin Apaches given living in nice country with | nothing to do. The Post has already said on this matter that Arizona has g grand future under white man's development. This can be promptly

 does not require rank injustice to in dnstrious Indians who have been mak

The Boss Bear Story.
IFrom the Globe Times.l

Julius Gundelach while up on the Finals last Sunday discovered half grown bear rustIing manzanitos. Julius looked carefully around to see that the fond mother was no: close by, then gave chase to the cub. After a run of 290 yards he caught the cub by the tail, but just as he thought he had his bird at stand still the tail pulled out, and cub pulled out, the old one gave 8 growl from 8 neighboring clump of brush, and Julius pulled out. He has the tail as a trophy properly dis played at Fritz's.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.
IL Can Be Accomplished Through United
 Efforts of the Press.

It lies largely with the western press to say what shall be done by Congress for the west. Western papers are of course for anything that is benefit to the west, but so long as they advo- cate western measures in desultory and disorganized manner, they cannot accomplish the results that can be at tained by combined and sustained ef- fort. Some time ago western papers commenced vigorously agitating the water question. Everybody has always known of course that the west is de- pendent upon water, but in showing what might be done with more water and in continually urging the vital importance of the question to the country, and the necessity for Con- gress taking some action on broad national basis for irrigation develop ment, such interest has been aroused that the whole question has now been forced to the front and is now recog- nized as one which must be reckoned upon at each session of Congress and which cannot be suppressed. This is primarily the result of newspaper agitation, and the newspapers of the west now hold the key to the posi- ton.
 CONGRESS CANNOT REFUSE.
 The situation in Congress is such that if united demand is made by the west for irrigation appropriations it cannot be refused. There is not a question of this fact. The trouble has been in the past that the west has not been thoroughly united upon this prop osition. The west holds the power in Congress if it will stand unitedly and exercise it.
 And if western newspapers-the city papers, the country papers, the dalies and the weeklies-will print arguments and demands that Congress shall con- slider this great question of irrigation as national question, not print one article on the subject, but keep con- tinually driving at the idea that the question is the one most vital thing to the entire west, the one question, which if acknowledged by Congress, will change millions of acres of waste and barren places into smiling fertil- ity and wealth-then it will not take western Senators and Congressman long to see that this is 8 question up- on which they must unite to man, and with a united western delegation the battle is won. This is the power which the western press possesses.

Repeal the War Tax.

March 10, 1900, the U. S. Treas ury had on hand as shown by the official statement a net cash bal ance of over three hundred mill- ion dollars. The government re- ceipts, in excess of all expenses for eight months prior to April 1st, were over sixty-two and one-half million dollars, or an average of nearly eight million dollars per month. At this rate money is be- ing taken out of circulation and concentrated in the vaults of the U. s. Treasury in the enormous sums of ninety six million dollars per year, and for what purpose or usage? This concentration of the circulating medium cannot fail to result, very materially, detrimen- tai to business at large.
 In his letter to Congress, Jan. 10, 1900, the Secretary of the Treasury said: "The revenues are now exceeding disbursements from month to month, and seem likely to do so for an indefinite time. This condition would be menace to the business world if assurances were not given that this surplus would be diverted from the treasury vaults to public Repositories where, while secure to the government, it would re- main available to business ,use."
 The existence of over three hun dred million dollars in cash means that the government has not only the required gold reserve, as per the law just passed but also one hundred and fifty million of dol- lars over and above all expenses, and still the government is col lecting taxes on checks, deeds, mortgages, medicines, perfumes, bills lading, telegrams, money or ders, etc., levying upon the peo- pie an unjust, harrassing, oppres- sive tax. What possible excuse can there now be for Congress refusing to repeal this unjust stamp tax upon business docu- ments, medicines, toilet articles, etc.? Think aboduit! Since July 1, 1899, there has gone into the public treasury an average daily surplus of two hundred and sev- enty thousand dollars, and it is increasing from day to day, and now that the government does not need the money, why continue it and tax the people.

be very heavy, but in the two miles from the tunnel approach (where MT. McGunnigle's con- tract ends) the work in some places is very heavy and does not show rapid progress on this ac- count. The cuts are all through rock and vast amount of explo- sives are being used and at the noon hour and in the evening a visitor to the camps is given an imitation of Boer-British artil- lery duel.
 At the tunnel Superintendent Mcdonald is pushing the work with. all the speed possible on the eastern approach and expects to have a day and a night force at work, which will hasten the work greatly. The drilling at this point is done with compressed air which does the work very rapidly.
 In one afternoon the drill was driven through ninety feet of solid rock besides moving the drill several times. The immense amount of dirt and stone to be re- moved in this approach requires the laying of three lines of tram way on three elevations. The cars used on this tramway are large and the stone and clay are carried rapidly to the dump four hundred yards down the hollow. Many persons who visit the camps expect to find a hole half way through the mountain and are disappointed when they learn that it will yet be several weeks before the actual tunneling will commence.
 Beyond this point to Kings river the different contractors are pushing their work in a manner that indicates it's completion sooner than was anticipated. If you want to see what is called heavy railroad grading you should visit the camps during the week when the men are all at work and blasts are being explod- ed on every side"

The Best in the World.

We believe Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best in the world. 4 few weeks ago we suf- fered with a severe cold and a troublesome cough, and having read their advertisements in our own and other papers we pur- chased a bottle to see if it would effect us. It cured us before the bottle was half used. It is the best medicine out for colds and coughs.-The Herald, Ander- sonville, Ind. For sale by Har- bert & Sheldon.

Clark Plans to Go Back.

A recent Washington dispatch says that Senator Clark of Mon tana will, in a few days, resign the seat he now holds in the Sen- ate and return to Montana and seek vindictation. It is under stood he will not present himself at the door of the Senate nor again occupy the seat where he has been almost continuously seen for four months past. Mr. Clark seems confident that he will succeed and that Marcus Daily cannot forever block his way.
 At the same time that Clark looks forward to an election to the Senate, Senator Garter, his Republican colleague, also claims that he is to be reelected. How the same legislature can elect Republican and Democrat seems strange to some. It is explained by the conjecture that the two men have formed an alliance, of fensive and defensive, to control the legislature against Marcus Daly's influence. This is not at all improbable as the bitterness of the quarrel between Clark and Daly has drawn Republicans into it and party lines are seriously disarranged. The state is sregard- ed as surely Democratic on nat ional issues and is expected to choose Bryan electors, whether it elects Carter or not.
 The lawyers engaged in the case have had almost as much at stake as MT. Clark. Senator Ed munds, who was leading counsel for Daily, was paid large retain ing fee and is to have whatever he is disposed to ask, now that he has won the case. Good guessers say that in all the senator will have thrust upon him not less than $50, eco by the Montana leader, who has spent money like water to defeat and disgrace his person. al foe. Representative Campbell, of Montana, who conducted the examina ation of witnesses for Da- ly, will receive $40, ,000, it is said, and ex-District Attorney Birney of Washington will receive S5, ,OOO. Ex-Representative Hartman of Montana will enjoy 8 like fee. MT. Clark has had two lawyers, ex-Senator Faulkner, whose re- tainer is said to have been S2O, 1000, and Roger Foster of Montana, who receives similar hand some compensation. MT. Faulkner was told by MT. Clark that if he won his case and got him the seat he should receive a blank check, duly signed, and be permitted to fill in the amount to suit his own fancy. Whether anything like this is done it is certain that Mr. Faulkner con- ducted the case for MT. Clark with consQmate skill and ability.

 THE TRIBUNE is in receipt of a communication from a subscriber away up in Wisconsin, who takes 1 the paper to learn something of this rapidly growing section. The letter is as follows:
 EGG HARBoR, WIS, April 12, 1900. To THE TRIBUNE:
 Your issue of April 9th states, "Peach trees are in bloom."
 As 1 look out of the window at the falling snow, I see sleigh flashing by with it's occupant muffled in a fur overcoat until he resembles Q genuine grizzly. Another glance reveals to me Green Bay, field of ice three feet thick, twenty miles wide, and hundred miles long! Corn plant ing with no bird in sight and the very sheep with their heavy fleec- es huddled in the barn for protec- ton from the Canadian zephyrs of spring! You people are surely blessed. Just think of stabling and feeding stock for seven months of the year and of loading yourself with clothing, in order to be comfortable, until your legs ache with the continuous load of apparel! This is not exaeeration. but facts.
 Here the foreign population is greatly in majority, you feel as if you were living in Germany, Ire- land, Sweden or Canada. Here ninety nine men in hundred drink and drink to excess and are proud oft. The politicians best qualification, and often the only qualification for office, is his ca- pacity for beer.
 Sunday is the big day here for the saloons, the day of days, for fools to congregate and carouse.
 Here intoxicants are sold to mere children daily without any attempt at concealment, and with out fear of the law. To even sug- gest the punishment of these law less blighters of humanity, would be to incur the enmity of the en- tire community.
 How would you like to live in a village containing twelve dwelling houses and three saloons, where a public building is used for a fun eral at o'clock P. M. and for a drunken dance at P. M?
 How refreshing, to one where such conditions prevail, to read in your little paper of a place like Green Forest, where the majority are against the curse of drink, and to know that you have the fore sight and moral courage to com bat this great evil.
 Inever heard a temperance lec- I'ture in my life, but I have seen enough of this traffic to hate it, and to know that it is a serious draw back to the prosperity, hap piness and virtue of any commun- ity. Bravo! Good People of Green Forest FIGHT IT OUT and KEEP IT OUT if you prize tono9, health, happiness and virtue for yourselves and posterity. l hope you may realize your expectations in Green Forest, and continue 10 thrive, you appear to deserve it.

DAVIS METHODS.
Something of the Man Who
 Seeks to Be Governor.

Something of the Man Who
 Seeks to Be Governor.
 We commend the following from the Fort Smith Elevator, than which there is not a more honorable, conscientious advo- cate of democratic principles in Arkansas. It is written by a man who has, we sincerely be- lieve, only the good of the state at heart, and it is well worthy of the consideration of every demo- cratic voter.
 Here is what the Elevator says:
 slt matters nothing for the purpose of this article whether MT. Davis shall be elected gov ernor and draw a governors sal- ary for a few years; the fact that Sebastian county has had the conservatism and the strength to stand up before the on-coming of a seemingly irresistible tide of Ignorance and innocence led by prejudice and perspiration, and battle it to a standstill, and hold it there long enough for reason to re-mount her wheel, is cause enough for general graduation.
 It is no part of our pleasure to serve up MT. Davis in slices, with or without misunderstanding of the sort.
 Of Mir. Davis as a man the Ele- vator has nothing to say. From the beginning of time there have been false prophets seeking to ride the people for self aggrand- izement, and deceiving them for mercenary motives. Whether MT. Davis is the one or the other, or whether he is actuated wholly by ignorance, the success of his policies would work the same ir- reparable injury to Arkansas.
 And let us remark that the peo- pie are not so much to blame as some would make it appear. It may be set down as a fact that the people will do the right when they know the right, and all the powers of the earth cannot pre- vent them if they are only given time-and time never fails to come to those who wait. The people are right at heart, and they follow the bass drum and tin horn only when there is a pressing need to move forward and there is nothing in sight. What is Jeff Davis platform?
 Why, he is against the trusts.
 What else?
 Why, against everything else.
 And that is his platform. It is sounding brass and tinkling cym- bals. With the assurance of the insurance agent and the gall of a cashier who would turn down a check drawn against the wind, MT. Davis appropriates to himself the honors that belong to the great masses of the Democratic party-men who have fought the good fight and kept the faith without feeling that a great State was thereby placed under obliga- tions to elevate them to office.
 Sebastian has called halt in this mad rush after moonshine, and hopes the people will ask themselves what MT. Davis plat form is.
 Something more specific is de- sired of a candidate for governor than the fact that he is against everything that is and in favor of everything that is not.
 We hope the Democracy of Ar kansas will stop their wild beat ing of tomtoms and content them selves with the platform of the Democratic party and consider as
