RECLAMATION OF ARID LANDS.

A GRICULTURISTS IN UTAH and other west
"a eu states having large areas of arid lands will
be interested in the report of Secretary OF the
Interior Hitchcock, which is to be presented to con
gress next month Mr.. Hitehcocks recommendation
that the government take care of the irrigation OF
arid lands is both practical and timely.
feeling has grown up in the west that the IN
dvidua states build reservoirs and do their own
retaining. With this end in view efforts have been
iuauerraed to secure the ceding by the government
to the states Of the arid lands within their borders.
1t is most probable that those who advocate this plan
have despaired Of receiving government assistance.
Tn the light of Secretary Hitchcocks recommends
lions there is not now sufficient to believe that
governmental aid Is of the question The building
OF storage reservoirs and perhaps irrigang canals, at
the expense of the United States seems the only really
practical solution of the problem. Idaho has water
that flows into Utah So has Colorado end Wyoming
Likewise some of the Utah streams flow into other
states
Now. if every one of these commonwealth starts
on a storage plan eff Its it Is not going to
water for other state. Utah viii receive bcne
1T from mammoth reservoirs that might be constructed
in Wyoming Colorado and Idaho, Notwithstanding
the fact that she is entitled to a portion OF the flow
from those states into The result would be
continuous squabbling pickering and Jealousy
On the other hand, if the matter is taken up by the
general government it viii be for the benefit Of all
the western states Equal division of the viii
be made and all viii receive equitable proportion.
The work would be of much greater magnitude, also,
for the government can successfully carry out opera
tions that would bankrupt individual states many
times over.
In the end the net results would be the same, for
the states would gam far through the increased
values of the reclaimed lands thrown open settle
than they would gain through the sale of arid
territory coded to them by act of congress. The
Herald hopes that the advocates of state ownership
VIII wait vet little while Let us see if the govern
ment cannot be persuaded to eXpend of the
ury millions here. When it is settled beyond doubt
that nothing be accomplished IN this line it will
be tme enough for the states to organize for ind-
vidfal work

AHITALIAN TAMMAKY.

Tally HAS THE RIGHT IDEA in dealing with or
CARNATIONS of the Iammany and Quay order. In
Naples for years existed a ring known as the Camo
Camoria organization. It absolutely dominated and
controlled every department of the city from one end to
the other. rottemess permeated the municipality
which gave forth more nOisome stencil than anything
Quay's henchmen had dreamed of.
Tt is stated that in many departments no books at
all were kept and the administrative officials we're able

ton paid tribute In greater less degree to the gang
The operations of the ring extended beyond municipal
affairs and into the domestic life of the city house

Agents of the inner circle. according to Public
Opinion, demanded and secured the right to inspect
the books of business men, IN order to mulc them in

ieally employed against well-todo persons. Finally
things got bad in Naples that the Italian govern

Therefore 1t exercised It's prerogative of stem

The ban was removed this year and an election

QUARANTINE AND SANITATION

To the Editor of The Herald;
by attention has been called to a let
ter in tOdays issue of The Herald signed
by Reader the statements in which
make it apparent that one of the chief
purposes of the public health bulletin
prepared by the undersigned has mis-
carried, by reason of having at hand only
the English language through which to
express himself. 1t was the intention TO
correct a common misrepresentation by
making clear the real cause of contagious
diseases and incidentally the relation
thereto borne by filth and other unsani-
tary conditions, in order that preventive
measures might be inteligently en-
piOyed. After having stated as quoted by
the correspondent that these diseases
are caused by specific poisonous germs
which have their sole origin in a pre- pre-
vious case OF the disease 1T
must be strictly borne in mind that they
cannot be generated or produced by any
other agency The article further states
that Unsanitary conditions favor the
growth and development of any disease
germs which may find Judgment therein
and thus promote the spread of disease,
therefore strict cleanliness inside and
outside should be maintained" etc.
These words are construed by the CORE
sDOndent TO mean that there is no con-
nectiOn between unsanitdry conditions
and contagious disease, and they need not
be removed or abated. He also attacks
the correctness of the origin assigned to
duced by decaying garbage In closing,
he requests further information, and an
other attempt viii be made to furnish it
in view of the importance of the sub
ject. In the first place. nOtWithstand-
ing the correspondents assertion to the
contrary, there Is no fact better estab-
lished in medical science than that con-
tagioUs and infectious diseases-these in
Guiding typhoid fever and consumption
have their origin as above stated. and
when he asserts that they are caused
by "decaying garbage he is simply mis-
taken. as he will discover upon investi-
eating the subject
This by no means implies that decay
ing garbage should not be kept carefully
removed and destroyed. On the contrary,
ii is of the utmost Importance. Like
seeds of plants. millions of diSease-prO-
dUCing germs are scattered that do not
lodge in a place favorable to their
growth Under these circumstances they
remain inOcuOus and die, destroyed by
the oxygen OF the air or otherwise
Those which by chance find Judgment in
a person who is susceptible. or in de-
composing organic matter, continue 10
live and propagate their kind, the dis
ease in each case being liable TO further
vent. Hence the necessity for both pre-
venting the escape Of the infective or
ganisms by strict quarantine and the
careful removal Of all uusanitaTy mate
rial that could serve to harbOr them.

WELL DONE, BUFFALO.
(NeW York Timnsl


At almost any cost the respect and admiration
which we're earned by the way in which the assassin
Czolgosz tried, convicted and handed over to the
executioner would have been cheap, but the Buffalo
authorities well feel proud of the fact that not only
their course marked by perfect dignity and a
scrupuOus regard for all legal and other proprieties
but the incidental expense was, compared say, with
the Guiteau trial, much smaller as the character
and tone of the proceedings were better. The entire
expenditure 1t Is reported amounted to 81 1880 of
which $500 went to the prisoners appointed counsel
$1,000 to the alenists who certified to his sanity and
the rest to those who guarded him in Buffalo and on
the way to Auburn. This estimate makes no ae-
count of the time of regular and prison officials
but their salaries would have had to be paid any
way, the inaceuraey is only apparent The sum Is
certainly marveously small but every added dollar of
expense would have detraced from the stern simplicity
Of the trial and served only crafty the seekers
after sensation and advertising. Buffalo sought and
found the golden mean which Is often missed She

THE SUGAR TRUSTS scHEmE.

I I ERBERT 1IYRICK,. chairman of the League Of
Domestic Producers, including beet and cane
sugar, tobacco and cigars, fruits and vegetables,
wool and cotton and other articles of commerce. makes
some strong statements In interview the attempt
Of the cane sugar trust to secure the admission of
sugar f.om Cuba free of duty. Mr., Myriek calls at
tenon to the disaster that would be visited upon the
beet sugar industry by the accomplishment of this pur
pose and shows that in the end the public would be
made to pay He says; The sugar trust seeks to
pete It's monopoly by having admitted free
to Its refneres, while a high tariff Is retained its
refined product The amount of the stake is some $50
100000 annually in sugar duties OF the trust
claims that this saving would largely go to consumers
and so it might until the had wiped off the face
of the earth the farmers aborers and manufacturers

IN the United States
Then up would go prices, and into the pockets of
the sugar would go the millions of dollars that
paid IN duties, and that afford large part of
the federal revenue besides encouraging the domestic
production of the sugar people consume Of course
the loss under free sugar would have be made up by
additional taxes"

Good Advice.

a man who stops his paper because
there is something in it he does not like
should be consistent, and leave the
hotel table because he finds something
on the bill of fare he does not like. He
would be just as consistent in one act
as the other. a good newspaper is a
bill of mental food for as many people
as possible and the reader ought to
know that the article that does not
suit him is just what nearly every
other reader of the paper wants. The
man who insists on having his paper to
his individual taste should buy the
material, edit and print one for him
self and ask no one else to read it.
