The Irish Outlook.

A great revival of Irish political ac- tivity is evidently impending MT. John Redmond has summoned a meeting of the Irish parliamentary party for Oc- tober ', the ostensible object of which is to prepare a programme for the com ing session of parliament at Westmin- ster. A few days later MT. Redmond
 MT. Dillon and MT. Davitt will come to the United States in order to attend the national convention of the United Irish league in Boston. Meanwhile, po- litical and ecclesiastical leaders have issued an urgent appeal to the Irish people for liberal contributions of money to enable the league to carry on it's campaign against the British gov ernment and the landlords.
 It must be supposed, however, that at the meeting of next Tuesday or else where there will be any groping after a policy or any attempt to formulate a new plan of campaign" Nothing of that sort is needed. The policy of the Irish nationalists was long ago estab- lished, and it remains constant. clear cut and unmistakable. MT. Gladstone and others might permit themselves to be deceived concerning it. The Irish leaders never were deceived concerning it. The Irish leaders never were de- ceived nor in doubt. Their programme is as definite and as we'll understood by them as the multiplication table. It's fundamental principle. enunciated by Mir. Parnell in this country nearly twenty-two years ago. is complete and absolute secession from Great Britain. In the pursuit of that end the Irish leaders are inexorable They accept all concessions, but they themselves make none. Time. they believe, is working for them. and they are thus as patient in awaiting an opportunity as they are alert and vigorous in seizing upon t and improving it when it is presented.
 The coming session of parliament should show in what way the British government means to meet and to com bat such a hostile plan of campaign. For some time, it must be confessed that governments policy has not seemed to be as definite and resolute as that which is pitted against it. There has appeared to be some uncertainty some division of counsels, some em- pirioism-oualities sorely unequal to the fixed resolution of the Irishmen. At the present time, however, the. most

 Irrigation and Deforestation.


 The meeting of the tenth national ir- rigation congress yesterday was in- vested with a peculiar and double sig nificance The action of congress al the late session has made of irrigation systematic public work of national rank Whether or not the policy then adopted was a wise one, it was adopted, and it will doubtless have far reaching results; and however strongly the con struction of local irrigation works at national expense may be criticized, there can be no question that the irri- gation of arid land should in some way be performed. It would be a reproach to humanity and to civilization to let vast areas lie sterile and uninhabitable for want of water which can readily be supplied.
 Another and grimmer Nphase of the significance of this congress is suggest ed in the report given in publication of the geological survey quoted in our Washington correspondence yesterday. That is to the effect that of the 23, ,394 square miles of primeval forest not long ago existing in the state of Washington nearly one third has been destroyed. and the major part of the portion de- stroyed has been destroyed by fire. That report was made before the forest fires of the last few weeks, which have swept off some thousands of miles more. What has thus been done and is being done in Washington has been and is being done in nearly every other state. Probably no other country in the world was ever so rapidly, so reck- lessly and so disastrously deforested as the United States.
 Now, here is the grimly ironical sig nificance of the situation. While a na- tional irrigati congress is being held to promote the irrigation of arid lands, and while vast sums of public money are about to be spent for that purpose, reckless and criminal men are making other lands arid at a still more rapid rate. The so-called lumberman. who wastes ten times as much as he mar kets, and the man whom we shall not venture to characterize who wantonly set fire to forests are doing more harm in one year than all the irrigation pro- motors can undo in ten. It is good thing to water thirsty land. It is bet ter and a wiser thing to protect watered land from becoming arid. Millions of acres of the best farming land in Amer lea. hitherto amply supplied with moisture. are now menaced with drouth because of reckless timber cutting and forest fires. Turn the water on desert lands by all means. But let us not cut off the water supply of the fertile regions.-New York Tribune.

EARLY RISING AND FORTUNES.

It wasn't until J. Pierpont Morgan landed on his return from Europe and said "See Perkins, that the public turned it's eyes in the direction indi- cated and saw Perkins. Two words from the lips of might made Perkins famous. Before he became the chief tentacle of MT Morgan's octopodean energy he was an insurance agent in Chicago. But now the world asks him, How shall we bring up our boys?" He is as important as an editor of whom everybody asks everything-and gets satisfying answer, or at least a silenc Ing one. Mir Perkins advice about boys is good. fully as good as every one of us could give. Advice is something that does not deteriorate in quality from year to year or age to age; it is so cheap it doesn't pay to debase it, and everybody has to give it away.
 MT. Perkins says: "'roo many young men in this country don't want to worK hard. They prefer to take things easy stay up late at night and lie abed too long in the morning. They can never get ahead in that way. Seldom can they. We are not acquainted with the habits of the young man who came up to Saratoga from Kentucky last week with $500 and won $35 000. He probably never would have done 1t if he had stayed ID late at night and lain abed too long in the morning. It must have been on account of his excellent habits that he acquired fortune in a week that many man never attains.to in a lifetime.
 By going to Saratoga and practicing an early bedtime and a larklike awak- ening others may do as well. Tn Wall street, where great fortunes are made, the habit of the moneyed magnates of going to bed with the chickens, or at least at the same hour so popular with the poultry, and drawing aside the drapery of their couches at a. m to enter upon the days duties is doubtless directly responsible for those Fifth avenue palaces, those yachts, Newport villas and European trips. We are Quite sure of it.-St. Louis Globe Dem- ocrat.

Marcus A. Smith.

Mark Smith has returned to Arizona, and it is announced that he will go upon the stump for the democratic party. The citizens of the territory of all parties will be glad to learn that MT. Smiths trip to Europe has greatly benefited his health. and wherever he appears he will receive a true Arizona welcome. Naturally, MT. Smith will say something for Wilson, and he will be patiently heard through all the com plimentary things which he may say of Wilson-but his welcome will not be on that account. He will be welcomed because he has more personal friends by tenfold than any other democrat in Arizona, and because he returns to his constituents from an arduous and vic torious battle for statehood. Unlike many democrats. Mir. Smith is broad enough to say that his efforts in behalf of Arizona's admission into the Union were greatly aided by Arizona repubIi- cans. But he is our delegate and off, cial champion al Washington. and no fair-minded citizen would detract in the least from the great credit which Is due him. His broken health was due to his vigilant and industrious work for his people, and had there been a fatal ending to his illness his death would have been a martyrdom to patriotic duty. It is to be hoped that he returns so strongly fortified in physical strength as to have assurance of a long life of usefulness, and that without danger to his health he will be able this winter to bring to a brilliant success the great statehood work now so nearly finished. The warmth of the greeting which will be extended to MT. Smith wherever he goes should not be mis- taken by Mir. Wilson as evidence of turn in the tide which is running so strongly for MT. Morrison. It will be- simply, the non-partisan and personal greeting of grateful constituents to an honest citizen and good fellow and a faithful delegate.
 Republicans will look with eouan-
 
 unity upon the partisan side of such addresses as MT. Smith may make in the campaign. They recognize hIs great personal popularity, and would not lessen 1t in any way, and they have no fear that his ablest endeavors will cause this popularity to envelope Can 1idate Wilson. Wilson is cold and non- magnetic, and has no personal follow ing anywhere. He cannot possibly ride into office on the wave of public appro- val which MT. Smiths official record encounters. Sadly for Colonel Wilson he has made his own political bed, and must lie in it. He has seen fit to run counter tG nearly every impulse of the people. He is out of touch with them and does not appreciate their aspira- tions. It is his misfortune that he is a candidate in Arizona instead of Ar kansaw. Mark Smith cannot fail to be sorry for the plight of his party on account of Wilson's candidacy, but he can be of no substantial service to the democratic candidate.
