ference Of the Catholic bishops of the Gin

notably at cincinnau. Columbus. Fort
Wayne and Grand Rapids.

ters received from the Philippines. Other
matters under discussion were the transfer
of the American hierarchy and clergy from
the Jurisdiction OF the propaganda to that
of the vatican, the division Of certain do
ceses and the reform Of church music.

MAKES A CALL UPON THE PRESIDENT

trrom a star Correspondent,


WASHINGTON, Oct. 15-(Special Tele-
gram )-speaker Henderson has been in
town for the past twenty-four hours, but
so quiet was his ingress and egress that
but few knew of his presence at the capi-
tai. This morning he called upon the pres
ident. and while he was In the temporary
White House met John Mitchell, president
Of the United Mine Workers. The speaker,
realizing the stresaful condition of affairs
as to the coal strike, as he took the hand
of Mitchell, said:
II recognize that am In the presence Of
two great presidents" He also said that
he hoped conditions would be such that the
president of the Mine Workers could see
his way clear to accepting the names which
the president Of the United States would
suggest to arbitrate the differences between
the miners and operators in the anthracite
regions of Pennsylvania.
The speaker, who was looking especially
clipper, said that his visit to the White
House had no significance whatever. He
had several department matters to look
after and took this opportunity to run over
from Atlantic City, where he has a cottage,
to attend to the demands OF his constitu-
ents. AS to his declination to stand for an
other term in congress Colonel Henderson
would not talk. In Iact, ne salu II was
closed incident with him. The speaker left
this afternoon for Philadelphia, where he
will Join Mrs. Henderson and they will go
to Atlantic City, where the speaker will re-
main, in all probability, until congress con-
Venes.

The appointment of DIR. J. V. Beghtol
trial School for Boys at Kearney will
commend itself to all who are interested
in the efficient administration of that
Institution. 1t Is eminently proper that
the head of that institution should be a
nan of experience as a medical practi-
toner, because he can In emergencies
discharge the fupctions devolvlng upon
the physician and surgeon and will
moreover be competent to improve the
hyglenic conditions of the institution.
The boys reform school is not in
tended to be a ~penitentiary, but a re-
formatory for the reclamation of refrac-
tory and vicious boys who are to be dis
cipllned and trained to good citizenship.
Under former administrations a great
deal of needless cruelty was practiced
and the training of the boys was not as
systematic and efficient as it should be.
DR.. Beghtol has a reputation of possess
ing executive abilities of a high order,
which should be brought to bear not
only upon the inmates, but also upon
the entire staff of the institution. His
advent at the reformatory should in
augurste reform all along the line, so
that the school shall become a model
for similar institutions in this and sur
rounding states.
At the very outset DR.. Beghtol should
remember that political activity is not
so much desired as a strict and on
~scientious discharge Of the duties de-
volving upon him as superintendent.
The best way to make votes for the re-
publican party is to give the institution
an honest, efficient and economic admin
istration.

THE LAND LEASING BILLS.

The preliminary skirmish in the fight
over proposed legislation for the leasing
of the public domain will take place
this week in the house committee on
public lands, when votes will be taken
on the various measures that are pend
ing there. There has been a sharp con-
hict over this subject almost since the
beginning of the session and it prom
Uses to be waged more vigorously be-
fore anything is Accomplished, If indeed
there is any action taken at the present
session.
The division in the public lands COM
mittee seems to be in favor Of two
measures, the Bowersock bill and the
Lacey bill. The former was drawn in
the interests of the big cattlemen and
those opposed to 1t urge that its adop-
ton would squeeze out all the small
herders, which undoubtedly would be
the case. WI commented freely on this
measure when 1t was introduced, point
ing out what it's effect would be and
the injustice that would be done under
its operation to the smaller cattle rails
ers. The Lacey bill is intended to pro-
tect the interests of the owners of small
herds and would prevent a syndicate
from buying up vast stretches of graz
ing fields. 1t proposes that the gov
eminent shall lease these lands in lin
tied areas, charging therefor at the rate
Of n two, three, four and five cents
an acre per year., according to location.
Something ought to be done in this
matter by congress that will be fair
and equitable, but the policy provided
for in the Bowersock bill should receive
no consideration.

AN INQUIRY.

There is some uncertainty as to
whether there will be irrigation legisla-
ton at the present session Of congress.
1t was stated two weeks ago that the
irrigation bill which passed the senate
would come up for discussion in the
house, a rule for. this purpose having
been submitted to the committee on
rules, but nothing has since occurred to
give assurance that the measure will be
taken up, though Of course Its sup
porters will spare no effort to have this
done. If a rule can be secured for o u
sidering the bill its discussion need not
be prolonged, since it's character and
purpose are fully understood.
Meanwhile 1t is proposed to have an
investigation by the census bureau OF
all facts relating to irrigation up to the
date of the crop year 1902, including
| the total amount invested in irrigation
the cost, value and operating expenses
| enterprises, the area of land reclaimed,
| of the works, cost and value of crops
raised, physical conditions and amount
of water available, location and cost OF
reservoirs for storage and other cor
| related data designed to show the cost
and profits Of irrigation. If the joint
resolution providing for such an investi-
CATION shall be adopted it will prob
| ably put an end to further considera-
ton of the irrigation question at this
session and was perhaps introduced
with this IN view. 1t is likely to re-
ceive a large eastern and southern sup
port, on the ground that If arid land
reclamation is to be made a settled gov
ernmental policy inquiry should go be-
fore expenditure and as nearly as posi-
BILE an accurate knowledge be obtained
Of all the facts relating to irrigation.

THE DEMOCRATIC MISTAKE.

The Washington correspondent of the
leaders stand aghast before the policy
Of scuttle to which certain members of
their party in the senate have tried to
commit them In the opinion of these
leaders the attacks IN the army In the
Philippines have injured the party, one
of them being reported as saying that
Carmack, Rawlins and Patterson have
made a great mistake in assailing the
army and its work. "There is no use
talking" said this senator, 'the people
Of the country will not stand by the
democratic party on this issue. What
ever their opinions may be in regard to
the permanent retention of the Philip
pines, they will not support a party
that attacks our soldiers in the rear
while they are fighting the country's
battles and risking their lives in the
far-away islands of the Pacific"
1t is well known that the more saga
cious democratic politicians, among
them Senator-elect German of Mary
Ahhhf hdNt ellOhBiS ichDHlONCu Nht
course of some of the democrats in the
senate and no doubt Rawlins, Carmack
and the others have been advised by
the shrewder and more conservative
men to cease their TRADES against the
soldiers In the Philippines. 1t is also
to be noted that democratic papers, even
In the south, have in the most emphatic
manner condemned the policy Of scuttle
and 1t Is said that members of congress
who have visited their homes during
the past few weeks are returning with
stories that indicate that the people,
irrespective of party, are disguised and
indignant with the campaign that has
been waged in the senate by democrats
against the Philippine army. There is
no doubt Of the general prevalence of
this feeling and nothing the democrats
may hereafter say or do will remove 1t.
The party must take the responsibility
for the reckless and unwarranted utter
ances of Carmack, Rawlins and the
others who have denounced American
soldiers and sought to bring reproach
upon the government and nation. AS
was said by Senator Foraker, "our
people have always stood by their army
and they always will stand by their
army so long as it Is made of such
splendid men, such gallant officers, such
heroes, one and all, as represent us in
the Philippines" The democratic party
will learn in due time, what its more
judicious and conservative members al
ready understand, that the American
people will not support a party that at
tacks our soldiers in the rear while they
are fighting the country's battles.
