A reader of The Republican inquires

A reader of The Republican inquiries whether the Hansbrough-Newlan
 irrigation bill, a few "A days ago enacted into POSSIBILITY. law, can be made
 availa ble for obtain ing water storage for the Salt River valley. Certainly, it can-if the water consumers are willing to have the cost of storage charged against their land: if the secretary of the interior is will ing, and if satisfactory contracts can the water users. The obstacles in the way of this solution of the problem are by no means insupera bIe. A sum of money aggregating five millions of dol lars, the proceeds of land sales during the past two years,is available, and the major portion of this sum may be eX- pended in any state or territory that the secretary chooses. The amendment to the bill (section 9 quoted in these columns a few days ago empowers the secretary to discount the future and of the law now, whereas the annual proceeds from land sales in this -erri- tory at the present rate would nos be sufficient in fifty years for the ToEto reservoir were it necessary to wait for the accumulation Of these proceeds as originally provided by the bill.
 The chief question, of course, would be whether the irrigators of the valley would consider the provisions of the new law preferable to the plan of county ownership, or the plan of CO., operative ownership aided by. the county-whether, in short, they would, be willing to assume the entire cost of reservoir construction. Under the fed
 
 would bear but small portion of. the expense.
 It seems to be evident that the en- abling act prepared by the water stor- age commission cannot pass in any form at this session of congress, and the possibilities of relief through the national irrigation act are well worth considering. An essential feature of such solution would be. of course the restriction of the stored waters to the lands already under ditch. The people of the valley would never consent to the diversion of the flood waters of the Salt river to any considerable area of public lands outside the existing canal lines.
 It is undoubtedly clear now to every body that, as The Republican has al ways insisted, it is folly to expect the government to make a gift of a res

 smirch the character of thousand dollars of Cuban funds were used by Wood in distributing literature throughout the United States to show the necessity of granting trade conces- sions to the island republic. General Woods frank assumption of all re- sponsfbility i1 the premises, and his statement that he would do the same thing again, have quickly ended the government spends large sums every year in disseminating information con- cerning the conditions of trade in this and other countries, and in pointing out new fields for American merchants, and it is money well expended. It may be questionable whether General Wood adopted the best means of in forming the people of the United States as to the Cuban situation. but the smallest enemies of the national ad- ministration will not dare claim that there was a wrong motive in the transaction. The hue and cry that has been raised is worthy of the dishOnor- able outfit which have been posing as the guardians of the public in Arizona.
 The same brand of hypocrisy is ex- hlbited in the attacks on the admins tration and upon General Wood be- cause lump sum of money was paid to General Gomez The yellow press has heralded the fact of the payment to Gomez as a financial atrocity The su- parsensitive defenders of the public honor overlook the fact that the Co., meg settlement was made by the direct sanction of President Mckinley. Co., meg had led the revolution to success. He was old and poor; he had not re- ceIEed a dollar for his services in be- half of Cuban liberty, and if any man in the world had just claim upon the treasury of Cuba it was he.

One of the most striking pamphlets

One of the most striking pamphlets that has been issued lately has just been printed in Berlin by pr. Paul Ser re. In it he expresses the hope that Germany and America will unite They are both interested in maintaining the open door in China. Inasmuch as the United tSates has no interest in conti- mental controversies in Europe, she would leave Germany with free hand. This is also true of Africa, and provid- ed Germany would abandon her South American interests we might ever SUD- port Germany's South African policy. The Spanish war opened the eyes of the European nations to the enormous development of the United States and what 1t means now that she has be- come world power. The courtesies lavished upon our American ambassa- dors in Europe show how deeply this sentiment is taking hold of the ruling classes. The universal Yankee is no longer the sheer of European nobility He has whittled his way into promi- hence.

Combes. it is interesting to know, is by profession a physician, but he cannot have practiced much. He was at one time a school master and is leading authority on French edu- cational affairs. His scholarly and lit erary activity have for years been large and comprehensive, embracing such topics as the Latin poet Virgil, Rants metaphysics, the philosophy of St. Augustine and the social theories of St. Simon. There is no other ruling statesman now alive, nor has there been one in a generation. except MT Gladstone, who equals M. Combes in the range of his mental Iabors.

A CATCH IN THE BACK.

Grand View, Iowa, Sept. 2oth.-Mrs.
Lydia Parker of this place says:
Il was troubled with backache all
the time for years. When I would
stoop over a catch would take me in
the back and I could not straighten
up for some time.
II tried everything I could think of
but got no relief till l sent and got
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
81 used one box and part of another
before the trouble all left me, but now
I am well and strong and I have not
been troubled with my back for some
months.
II believe my cure is a permanent
one and I am very grateful indeed, to
Dodd's Kidney Pills for what they
have done for me.
81 would most heartily recommend
them to anyone suffering with lame
back, for believe they will cure any
case of this kind.

DIDN'T KNOW PING.PONG.
Father Thou4llt His Daughter Was
II In Love with a Chlnaman
by That Name.

The Oak Psrk girl had just come home
from her first ping-pong party She had
never played the game before that evening.
When she entered the library her father
was folding up. his newspaper, preparatory
to going to bed, relates the Chicago Cnron-
icle.
DO you know, papa, | discovered tonight
that never really cared about anything be-
tore in my life" she said by way of introduce
ton. Il want to tell you about it,"
"Yes?" said the old man, with rising in
Election on the word. He was interested,
perhaps even little startled. His daugh-
ter's face was serious.
II have fallen in love with ping pong"
What" exclaimed pater familias. His
dismay now was unmistakable. Just then
his wife entered the room. He turned indig-
oant eyes upon her.
"You are nice woman!" he shouted at
her. What do you mean, madam, by bring
ing up your daughter the way you have
done. No, don't interrupt-it's matter
enough! Owing to you skillful management
our little girl has lost what sense she was
born with. She has fallen in love with a
Chinaman!"
Five minutes later the old gentleman was
apologizing both to his wife and his daugh-
ter. As he went off to bed, however, he
muttered under his breath:
"Plng-pong, ping-pong! That's Z nice
name for camel"

HUSBAND FOR A PENNY.
She Dropped q Postal In the MailbOx
Slot and the Result Was
MutrimOny.

A business man who wanted bookkeeper
stated his need in an advertisement. The
notice was seen by young woman who was
out Of work and who had searched for en-
ployment day after day without success.
She had just one cent left. This she spent
for postal card, on which she wrote re-
ply to the advertisement, and dropped the
card in a street lettterbox, says the Detroit
News-Tribune.
Her application impressed the business
man favorably, and he wrote to her, asking
her to call at his office. She did so and Sc
cured the position. Her modcsty and worth,
no less than her capability SO won upon her
employer that before many months had
passed he offered her his heart and hand,
and she accepted and became his wife.
"And to think" he said one day, during
the honeymoon, that it all came from your
spending your last cent for postal card
and mailing it at street corner!"
Yes" She replied, with smile and q
blush, II dropped penny in the slot and
got husband"

Some time after this Grant was in
vited to a cabinet meeting, at which
Mr.. Seward read a paper Of instruc-
tions to him as minister of some de-
gree to Mexico. The contents of the
paper could not have made strong
Impression on Gen. Grant for he said
afterward, in speaking of the incident:
''The instructions came out very
near where they went in"
But at the end of the reading he re-
marked, "You recollect, Mr.. President,
I said it would not be convenient for
me to 60 to Mexico"
Some discussion followed and then
the president rose from his seat and
struck the table with some force.

There was a breeze blowing, and the
sweetest smells you ever smelt came
floating out of that door. We were
more than half starved, and the smell
of roasting goose and sweet potatoes
was mighty tantalizing. Looking in
the door we sawa cook stove with big,
fat niger woman cook bending over it..
"'Joe,' I says to the chap on the
caisson beside me, Joe, that cook
stove is just about the right size for
our NESS says.
Right you are says Joe.
without wasting any more words
we two jumped off the caisson and
started for that kitchen. On the way
through the yard we picked up big
two-inch plank.
''The old black nanny cleared out
when she saw us coming. We opened
the oven doors, ran the plank through
the stove, and just fairly picked up the
whole outfit. In a minute we had it
loaded on the caisson, with the fire
still going full blast. and were driving
along again. As we went round the
turn in the road the old black cook
came to the door of the kitchen and
started to wiring her hands and cry.
"''Clar' to goodness she called.
All nah dinnah am done gone wifi dem
Yanks'
"By the time we got back to camp
that dinner was cooked just right, and
I never tasted anything half SO good
as that goose. Ask Joe Day if he has
ever tasted anything sweeter. And
there were six of the best pies that
I ever tasted in that oven, too.''

Comrade D. S. Brown, formerly Ser

''Biil Mccoy, of company c, Seventh
Ohio cavalry, had been detailed with
the Chicago Mercantile battery of our
brigade. One day he came over to the
camp with his right hand done up in
a huge bandage.
':What's the matter, Bill, one of the
boys asked.
Burnt it on our cook stove," he
said.
The idea of having cook stove in
camp at that stage Of the war made
us all laugh, and that laugh made Bill
mad.
