THE IRRIGATION BILL.

The irrigation bill. as reported to the
House, is said to have been amended
In several particulars so as to elimin-
ate the parts that have been considered
Objectionable II removes the posi-
bility Of speculative enterprises, and
provides that the owners Of lands made
arabic by the aid OF the public funds
must be actual occupants and residents
thereof. II also recognizes the prior
rights OF states and individuals in the
waters Of interstate streams.
Most Of the advocates of the redemp-
ton OF the arid regions by the govern
ment hope the bill will pass,
even II the measure is not
altogether perfect They hold
that when beginning Is made,
defects can be corrected as experience
shall dictate. 1t Is but natural that
there should be conflict of opinions as
TO details, in a scheme that is as yet
new. The important point Is to gain
recognition for the principle itself,
When that is DONE the details will ad-
just themselves gradually.
The opponents of national irrigation
are those who do not realize the inn
portance OF what has been called "ln-
ternal expansion" and also spectators
who desire a monopoly in public lands.
The latter class viii use their influence
against any measure that may be pro-
posed. The former will change views,
as II becomes clear that by developing
the western resources, the entire coun-
try win be benefited.

The bill for the government OF the
phillppine Islands declares
with great emphasis the absolute free
dom of religion In the Philippines IN a
general way II is broad and strong
on this point. But In providing for the
election OF local councils 1t excludes
from the suffrage the Mohammedan
Moros and other "non-Christian" ma
tives. 1t will be very difficult to rec
oncile this provision with the principles
under which the American people have
been born and brought up. IT Is a re-
version to the prejudices Of bygone
days. II Is true that we exclude In
dams not taxed" from participation In
the government. and we forbid citizen

nation Is racial and not religious.

Senator Hoar is very much opposed
to the election OF senator's by direct
vote OF the people. The Boston Post
answers his objections In a very clear
and logical manner. II says;
1T Is true that here In Massachusetts
we get very good United States senators
by the old method of election. But
Massachusetts is a conservative and
reasonable commonwealth, with higher
ideals and better principles than some
others. We cannot properly demand
that methods which are satisfactory
here shall be continued in other states
where they have proved disatrous. We
ought TO look TO the good of the whole.
And when we see what generalization
and corruption are bred In Delaware,
In Ohio in Pennsylvania, In Montana
in California and elsewhere by the sx-
listing system, and when we also see
that the election OF United States sena-
ators by popular vote would cure all
these scandals, we ought to be willing
to join in the general movement Tor
the reform"

PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT
Boston Transcript.

The provisions OF the bill relating to
the government of the Philippines, re-
ported by the senate committee have
been so generally anticipated as to
leave little opportunity for comment
now. In effect 1t provides, after cen
sus has been taken, for a government
not radically different from That IN
Porto Rico, combining In the legisla-
tive system an appointlve upper house
with popularity elected assembly The
quicker the insurgents make up their
minds to cease from troubling. the
quicker will come the census and the
elections. The monetary feature Of the
bill Is for a silver coinage, not wholly
free and unlimited, and one which is in
sympathy with long established custom
and thought In the East,

PAST WEEK FAVORABLE
TO ILLINOIS FARM WORK

The weekly crop bulletin for Illinois
says:
The past week has generally been
favorable for farm work. though
corn planting has been interrupted
somewhat in the northern district by
heavy rains and wet ground. The
early part of the week was rather
cool and the growth of vegetation
was retarded somewhat, but the lat
ter part was very warm. Good rains
| fell in the northern district at the
beginning and at the end of the week.
These rains, however, were in the
form of local showers, and, though
falling over most of the district, in
some places they were light. Good
local showers fell at many places in
the western part of the central dis
trict and at scattered places in the
eastern part of the central and in the
southern district. Over the greater
portion of the southern and the east
ern part of the central district. how
ever. the weather has been dry. In
the southeastern part of the central
and the northeastern part of the
southern district the condition has

is also true of these crops over a
large part of the central district and
in some localities in the southern dis
trict. but over the greater portion of
the southern district and i'm parts of
the central district the condition is
less favorable than at the end of last
week. Some injury by chinch bug
and Hessian fly is reported. Much
wheat has begun to head. Oats are
growing nicely in the northern dis
trict, but over the southern district
and much of the central district their
condition is not SO favorabl Dry
weather and chinch bugs have both
damaged the crop. Corn planting is
nearing completion over most of the
state. and a great deal of the crop is
now up and looking well. While the
ground has generally been in good
condition for planting. in some To-
calitieS it has been cluddy or weedy
and has had To be reworked. There
has been some injury by cut worms.

fruit prospects generally seem less
