The following from The Philadelphia press, one of the pitterest anti-Southern sheets in the Union. is little surprising. Referring to the appointment of Judge Jones, The Press says:
 Whether or not the Republican Party in the South is strengthened by these ap- pointments is a secondary matter The real end to be achieved IS the efficiency of the service and the additional respect to be gained for the Government by hav- ing 1t everywhere represented by men of ability and high character.
 We saytthis is surprising, because ordi- narily we should expect The Press to put the good of the Party before every thing else but certainly no one can ob- ject to the sentiments expressed in the above extract

FIGHTING OUR BUGS.

The English people seem to think they
 have troubles enough of their own and are determined not to have any imported
 ones put on them if they can help 1t. From a contemporary we learn that any person in England knowing of the exist | ence of a potato bug and falling to report l 1t to the police. is liable to fine of ten pounds, and the policemen are obliged,
 under heavy penalty, to notify the Board of Agriculture of the presence of the beetle" It really seems to us that this is showing but little consideration for visitors from this side the ocean, but we apprehend that the strict enforcement of the law is calculated to cause some of
 the British yokels more trouble and
 worry than the bug would. We have no
 idea that a majority of the common peo- pie of that region could tell potato bug | from a centipede, and if they are to be
 fined the equivalent of fifty dollars for | not notifying the authorities of the pres ence of an insect whose acquaintance they have never formed, and with whose | features they are not familiar, most of them will shut their eyes when a strange | bug comes their way.
 We do not blame our British cousins, | however. for desiring to keep this pest | away from their shores. They have had very little annoyance from this source
 so far, but they have read and heard
 enough of him to make them undesirous
 of a more intimate acquaintance. At the
 same time. it occurs to us that 1t would
 be much more just and equitable to offer
 rewards for the discovery and destruction
 of these troublesome insects than to pun
 ish, for not reporting them, an ignorant farmer who has never seen one,' or if he
 has. seen one had no idea what it was.
 But they are "agin the bugs" for fact.

The Sacramento Leader of Sunday
gives the following bit Of news:
zone Of the greatest plaques the rail-
road company has is its long line of
snowsheds in crossing the summit of
the Sierras. It is so expensive that the
management is looking for some way
to overcome the steep grade and an
noyanee.
1T was first said that this would be
partially done by piercing the summit
with a seven mile tunnel. The sur
veys have been made, but the expense
is something APPALLING.
Surveying parties have been at
work quietly in FL Dorado county for
some weeks, and lines have been run
from Diamond Springs, three miles
this side of Piacerville, to Carson Val
ley.
''The railroad will run through a
valuable timber belt, and viii give an

stantly falling to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it inourable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitu-

Much has been written about Presi.
dent Roosevelt taking dinner with
Booker Il. Washington. Mr.. Wash
ington was a slave before the war. He
studied and labored until no has be-
come one of the leading educators in
the United States. However, the din
ner was a great shock to the South,
and we of the North are hardly able to
fully realize their feelings over the
matter. There is less sentiment in the
North, and more matter of fact. There
is no doubt that Mr.. Washington,
as refined and cultured gentleman,
feels that the President has raised a
tempest about his head which he does
not deserve. But as cold matter OF
fact, the entire country really felt bet
Ter and safer, knowing that the Pres
ident was dining with Mr. Washington
than it would have felt knowing that
he was dining with Mark Hanna, or
any other advocate OF the high pro-
tected interests in the United States.
Better dine with an honest black man
than with thieving white man at any
time.

Storage RESERVOIRS for Nevada.

The annual report of Secretary
Hitchcock of the Interior Department.
has just beengiven to the public. On
the question of reclamation of the arid
region the Secretary says: 1.-THE inves-
LEGATIONS which have been carried on
demonstrate that there is no one ques-
ton now before the people of the
United States of greater importance
than the conservation of the water sup
ply and the reclamation of the arid
lands Of the West and their settlement
by men who will actually build homes
and create communities"
It is recommended that construction
at once be begun, as follows: The San
Carlos storage reservoir in Arizona, re-
claiming 100000 acres or more of public
land at an estimated cost of 81, 04o, 900;
reservoirs in the Sierra Nevadas in
California for reclaiming desert lands
in Nevada, the diversion of St. Mary's
river into the headwaters of Milk river
in Montana. An appropriation of
$3.50, 900 is asked to carry onthe hydro

THE WEEKLY COURIER.
Carson Letter.

EDITOR COURIER: The taking of
testimony in the water suit between
the farmers on the West Fork of the
Carson river was concluded in Carson
on the 9th of November. Various
stipulations were then entered into
giving each side the right to amend
their pleadings to show what changes
in ownership have occurred since the
suit began, and,to conform the plead
ings to the proofs elected. IL will be
stipulated and agreed that the plain
tiffs and defendants are the owners of
the lands described in the pleadings.
Plaintiffs have until January to amend
and file and serve their complaint, and
defendants have Is days thereafter to
do the same. There are nearly 5000
pages of testimony in the record. This
will all have to be digested, summar-
lied and sboiled down. enough to en-
courage the Court to read it, Some
time during the coming winter the
Court will set day to hear the argu-
ments of counsel on each side. It will
be remembered that l wrote few
articles explaining what prescriptive
title is, and advising the farmers 10 try
to recollect their facts. Counsel on
the other side took great umbrage at
these letters, and introduced them in
evidence to show how plaintiffs had
been taught these things. However,
towards the closing days when defend
ants were taking their testimony, one
of their witnesses let the cat out of the
bag, and testified that the defendants
had meeting at which counsel for de-
PENDANTS explained to them at length
what prescription was, and that they
would have to show that they had
never been disturbed in the possession
and use of the water. So, the only
difference in our offending is that
printed my advice and the defendants
read it as well as the plaintiffs, and
counsel on the other side gave his adj
vice privately in hall.

The Republican party managers have
announced that they will not tinker
with the tariff. The Republican party
itself is very much divided on the
tariff, and If the party will not tinker
with it the election of 1904 will bring
before the people practically. but one
issue,-tariff reform. The two great
parties went before the people fairly
and squarely on that issue in 1884,
when Cleveland beat Blaine, then the
champion of protection. Both parties
then favored reconciliation OF silver
In their platform; so that issue cut
no figure in that campaign. 1t was
the first and only election since the
war that the Democrats met the issue
squarely, although General Hancock
in his contest had advocated meeting
the question face to face; the party
managers were too cowardly to do SO.
The Cleveland fight of 1884 was the
best fought-out contest within my
memory. The issue involved a change
of the financial policy of the country,
and the leaders got down TO cold argu-
ment. Cleveland was elected, but
could not pass any reform measure
during his first term of Office. Har-
rison was elected in 1888 over Cleve-
land, and in 1892 Cleveland was re-
turned, and then Congress passed the
Wilson reform bin, and the highly pro-
tected millionaire manufacturers shut
down their works to a large extent and
manufactured no more than they could
possibly help. This threw armies of
men out of employment, and pre-
concerted scheme to keep them out of
employment was carried cut until Nc
Kinley was elected, and the mannfac-
turers reopened their works in full
blast Immediately. But II Bryan had
been elected they would have started
work just the same. They We're plumb
out of goods, and they would never
have permitted the demands Of the
country to be supplied by foreign man
ufacturers. They lost nothing by shut
ting down, because they cleaned mp
their stock and prices went up when
they started. Truly, the defeat of
Bryan was national calamity, because
the fight had been made and victory
over the manufacturers WIS at hand.
1t has to be done all over again.

that" 81 want spool Of cotton" the
child repeated, clutching something very
tightly in her right hand. And she con-
tinued to reiterate the request for long
time before quitting the store. Present.
ly her mother appeared in the door, with
very irate countcnance. Dye mean
to tell me that you haven't got nut
meg?" she inquired Indignantly. "Nls
that what the child wantcd?' exclaimed
the grocer. "She asked for a spool OF

THE HUMMlNc.BIRD.
Where to Find It's Nest. and How IL Feeds
It's Young.

IT'S Dung.
In ST. Nicholas, Henry Hales writes
of the ruby-throated humning- bird.
The humming-birds builds on the up
per side of branch "a branch gener-
ally about the size of the nest. The
nest is beautifully felted with fine white
vegetable down and studded on the out
side with fine lichens and minute specks
OF bark like the branch itself.
They do not seem to retire to Sc
cluded places to build; they are as &C.
centric i'll their choice of a nesting
place as in their nature and habits.
Some suppose their nests are near the
gardens or vines they visit; but that is
not often the case. A few magic vibra-
tions of the wings, and they are far
away in few seconds.
The last nest found was on the
outer end Of branch of silver poplar
that hung over 4 public road; every
carriage-top that passed under it was
within a few feet of the ncst-the last
place in the world where | should have
expected to find such a nest | should
not have seen it except that | was &C
cidentally looking up into the tree, and
l saw, protruding over the side OF the
nest, the long fine bill that happened
jut then to stir. The nest might have
been passed hundreds of times and been
taken for a small knot unless thus be-
traycd.
These birds lay but two eggs, tiny
white morsels. The young birds when
first hatched are curious little things
and feed by in erting their bills in the
mouths and threats of their parents AS
the food of the parents is composed of
nectar and fine insects, it is easily made
