RECLAIM ARID LANDS.

The question OF irrigation OF arid
lands has again been brought up for
public discussion, on account OF the
resolution adopted by the Transmissls-
slppi congress, urging a government
appropriation for that purpose. The
supposition Is that hundred million
acres can be reclaimed by irrigation
This land Is situated IN California,Ne-
vada, Utah. Colorado, Idaho, Mon

would be national and not merely local

A great many fertile valleys have

sufhcient appropriation to complete an

people and add three billions to the ma

THE STRIKE SITUATION.

According TO Pittsburg dlspatch
both the steel trust officials and the OF
f,cers of the Amalgamated association
OF steel workers are actively engaged
In measures for the settlement OF the
strike. but the former are adverse 10
any compromise that will increase the
union mills, and the latter are equally
determined to carry their point In
the meantime the worklngmen are ios-
ing millions in wages, and the manu-
facturers are losing millions by the de-
probation of the stock, and otherwise
II is question which side can hold
out the longest.
AS we understand It, the dispute this
time does not turn on wages or work
ing hours, or on the treatment the Ia
borers receive. II Is merely a ques-
ton of whether non-union men snail
have the right to earn living Tor
themselves and families. President
shaffer alleges that non-union men are
under contract not to join the union
and the strike is for the purpose OF
breaking up such an arrangement
That comes pretty near infringing upon
the rights OF non-union men to work
under whatever condition they choose
and the right Of employers to engage
whatever help they find to their best
advantage. The Amalgamatlon asso-
iation threatens to ruin the companies
or injure the business, unless their de-
mands are acceded to, and the trusl
managers Mold that it is better TO stanC
that loss now. than 20 yield on ques
ton OF principle, when yielding woul'

that compulsory arbitration is one o
