HoPELEssLY E~STANGLED.

1t is impossible to defend a bad cause
with augmentation. This may be IN.
sidered aromatic. Therefore it is not
surprising that the Stewart Hawley
press of the State is utterly unable to
reason in = straigh; line, and avoid the
most glaring observation-disclosures.
The Journal has heretofore directed
attention to the fact that in the first
instance some Of the Republican papers
commended the Irrigation Law in high
terms, claiming it as a Republican meas
ure for the benefit Of the Arid West,
while a little later the same papers
were declaring the law to be utterly
worthless and laying all tho blame upon
Francis q. Newland. a more bungling
somersault conld' scarcely be ina yined,
FOR instead OF landing gracefully on
their feet. those who attempted it
simply came down ~awkwardly OIL their
heads. It was one OF those esregious
blunders in politics that cannot be
explained away.
As long az it suited the purposes Of
the 50 papers to claim that the measure
was a good one they insisted that New
lands had nothing to do with it; but the
moment political ]exigencies required
them to shift their ground and claim
that the law was worthless, presto! New
lands had all to do with IT. and was
responsible for its alleged defects
which defects, by the way, nave not
yet been pointed out, except 1t il claim.
ed that Mr. Newlands might have got a
large direct appropriation OF money.
which verybody ought to know WIS
impossible.
Having thus become entangied in IA
web OF its own weaving one would
suppose that the Republican press
would be only too glad to have the Irri-
cation Law forgotten during the
remainder OF the campaign, but it has to
keep digging at Newlands, and so con-
tinuea to blunder right along. For ex-
ample the Carson News says:
-Ihe official call for the Tenth Nation
al Irrigation Congress says the irri
CATION law was secured by united action
OF the friends OF National irrigation re-
gardless of politics."
at is only in Nevada that Mr.. New
ands il the whole thing"
In the light OF the foregoing what
becomee Of the claim first made by the
Nsws hat he Irrigation Law was a Re-
publican measure? And what becomes
OF tho News second claim that the law
il no good? And what becomes OF the
News third claim that Ncwlands is the
man whose laundering made the law no
goodP
The last clause in the excerpt from
the News is u clumsy attempt to shift
the ISSUE. Nobody i'll Nevada has
assumed MIR. Newlands to be "the whole
thing The claim is simply that he was
an active, energetic and efficient factor
in the work, The true statement OF the
proposition ia that it Is only in Nevada
that Mr.. Newlands' valuable services
are denied, and even here tho denial is
confined to a little coterie of hidebound
partisans. AS soon ~ this campaign is
over almost everybody will concede thai
thel law is Il good one, and that Repre-.
sentative Newlands had something To
do with it's enactment.-Reno journal,
