"Wife desertion,. unless there are
extenuating circumstances, is a de-
spicable crime, and it should be treat

THE IRRIGATION PROBLEM.

Omaha Bee: One of the problems
with which the next congress is ex-
pected to deal is the reclamation by
irrigation of the arid lands west of
the Missouri. The effort made in the
last congress to provide for an extern
sive system of irrigating works fell
by the wayside, the opposition to the
various irrigation bills coming chiefly
from eastern congressman who regard
ed the proposed schemes as an at
tempt to squander money very much
as it has for years been annually vast
ed on so-called river and harbor i'm
provements.
The benefits of irrigation are be-
coming more widely known from year
to year. Surveys made by competent
engineers in Colorado, New Mexico
and Wyoming assure the feasibility OF
retaining many millions of acres that
are now practically worthless, but car
be made as productive as any under
! cultivation. .'." .
The first question to be determined
is whether the national government
is to undertake the entire task OF pro
viding a system Of irrigation common
surate with the demands of the arit
region, or whether the lands nov
owned by the government are to b.
donated to the states on condition tha
they bring them under cultivation b.
irrigation. In carrying out an exten
sive system of irrigation many compl1
cations and obstacles will have to b.
overcome, not so much in the engineer
ing features as in the conflicts arts
ing out of divergent water rights an
divergent state legislation.
With concerted action on the part Q
the congressional delegations fror
the states affected the necessary les
islation can readily be secured in tn
next congress. It will not be so niue
a question of the amount Of money t
be appropriated as it will be OF ha'

acquisition of the other essentials
enumerated by Bishop Derrick will
be comparatively easy. Possessed of
education the laws that now obtain in
some of the southern states by which
he is deprived of the right to exercise
his badge of manhood and freedom
will become inactive and fall by their
own force. Not only that, but he will
be able to think and judge for himself
and instead of being the tool of wick
ed and designing men, as he now only
too often is he a bring to bear in
his own behalf the power which in
telligence and education bestows, and
instead of being at the mercy of those
by whom he is surrounded he can
place himself above them and force
them into giving him the recognition
that is his by right, divine and pro.
fame. Nothing that he can do to
amellorate his own condition is SC

Education is the instrument with
which he must expect to tear down
the wall of prejudice which stands
confronting him and keeps him on the
low level against which he protests
without avail.

BISHOP DERRIcK'S ADVICE.

Bishop William B. Derrick, a noted
divine of the African Methodist church
several days ago addressed the Phila-
delphia conference Of his church and
gave the ministers some good advice
and also INDUCED in a little practical
talk concerning the needs of the peo-
pie Of his race. The three things the
negro needed the most, the bishop
said. were education for the head,
religion for the heart and money for
the pocket. With these acquired he
predicted that the negro would soon
take his place among men and would
attain the station to which he is now
looking, but is unable to reach, except
in a few isolated cases.
1t will be noted that the good bishop
gave education as the paramount
need of his people, probably arguing
that if that need were satisfied
| the others would, as a natural result,
be all the easier supplied. He gave
evidence of thorough appreciation OF
the element of inferiority in his peo'
pie as compared with the whites with
whom they come into contact and
with whom they ask to associate on
an equal footing. The bishop prob
ably knows from his own experience
the power that education bestows and

A VIEW.

Prince Omkathomsky, president of
the Russo-Chinese bank, who is said
to be thoroughly posted on Chinese
character and as having lately spent
four months at Pekin, is out in an in
teresting interview telegraphed from
st. Petersburg to the New York Her.
aid. The prince says the Chinese are
barbarians and that the sensible thing
for the powers to have done after the
legations were rescued would have
been for them to retire and treat the
Chinese as people with whom the civil
lized nations wanted nothing to do.
Had this been done, he says, Lii Hung
Chang and the other mandarins would
have come running after the Euro
peans, instead the European ministers
are running after Lii, a spectacle which
fills the prince with disgust. He also
says that the Chinese now more cor
daily than ever hate the foreigners
and predicts further attacks on all the
legations just as soon as the last of
the foreign troops are withdrawn.
The prince may take a c~old-blooded
view of the situation, but for all that
what he says is not without reason
and appeals in a certain manner to all
who have followed recent events in
China. AS he says if the foreign
powers had been content with simply
relieving the beleaguered legations
and allow the Chinese to fight it GU
among themselves, the situation Wouid
now probably be much simpliied and
the chickering's and d~issensions be
tween the allies would have no place
in history. But distrust of each Other
and fear that one might possibly OBJ
tain an advantage owe another or al
the others caused the allies to remain
and undertake to settle matters tt
their notion. Then, too, the desire tt
punish the Chinese by the exaction o
large indemnities to reimburse tn
allies for the expense to which the!
were compelled to go in their effort
to rescue the legationers also tende'
to interfere with the plan which tn
prince thinks would have been tn
most feasible and best.

TAXING.

Notwithstanding the repeated ex-
u of it's fraudulent %pretenses OF
publishing the news in advance of it's
contemporaries and the number of
times it has been convicted of menda-
city and fraud, the Helena Record
persists in continuing it's course of
sfakery and obtaining money under
false pretenses. Not content with
practicing it's deceit upon the people
of the territory in which it is pub
lished it seeks to invade the legitimate
field of reputable and reliable contem'
poraries published in distant parts OF
the state. In order to accomplish this
it resorts to the subterfuge of a 'spe
cial mail edition." hoping thereby to
deceive the unthinking and gain sub
scribers because of the cheap rate II
has placed upon it's reprint of st. Pau
and other papers reaching the desk
of it's exchange editor all the way
from t%wenty-four to thirty-six hours
after publication. By appropriating
columns of their matter and dating II
ahead and parading it under 1ashy
heads it attempts to mislead its read
ers into the belief that they are get
ting something new and exclusive.

If giving, like other habits. grows
by indulgence, then Carnegie's wish
to die a poor man seems fair to be
realized. 1t is estimated that at the
rate he has been giving away large
sums of money during the past few
months it will require only two or
three years., at the most, until he
will be poor enough to make appllca-
ton for admission to some of the
eleemosynary institutions of this u
try or of Scotland, where he is cred
tied with having expressed the inten-
ton of making his future home. But
what a wealth Of riches he has laid
up in the other world! The thought
of this probably reconciles him to the
contemplation of whatever suffering
| and poverty he will have to endure
the last few remaining years of his
life.

CHARLEY WAS LONESOME.

Charley Towne has come to the
conclusion that it is better to be one
of the despised money grubbers and
bloated a~ristocrats than to ride in the
front wagon of the populistic parade
and receive the cheers and applause
of the men with struggling whiskers
and hay seed in their hair. Acting
on this decision he is going to remove
to New York and endeavor to become
a Napoleon of finance so as to be able
to take a place with Pettigrew, Jones
and some more of the men with whom
he erstwhile trained when poverty
and compassion for the struggling
masses was the bond that united
them. The friendships formed during
those days seem to be SO strong that
their possessors are willing to incur
the contempt of the entire mol OF
country savers, just. so that they can
remain together and bask in the sun
| shine of each others smiles. OF
| course, that is the only reason why
they are striving for riches. First
Jones, through the benignity of for
tune, was enabled to make his "pile,'
and Pettigrew, loving Jones as
brother, also went in for wealth sc
that the difference in their social pc
sitions should not act as a bar to keel
them apart. Now Charley has grow
tired of being alone and he is max
ing a hard struggle to remove the oh
struction that stands between
him and the other two. Had Jone
been content to stay poor and con
tinue his efforts in behalf of a down
trodden nation, Pettigrew and Town
would never have turned willing ca
to the temptress and would still b
spreading the light of populism an
it's twin sister, anarchy.
