Using FROM TIE WAVES.

The eng .neers employed by the city govern
ment of Galveston say that nearly $4,000 900
must be expended If the people of that city are
TO be safeguarded against future storms and
floods. Perhaps it was not the wisest policy in
the first place TO choose so lowly a site for an
important community, but the founders and
builders of Galveston may have had in mind
the history Of the Venetian republic. Venice
rose from the sea. Her palaces were reared
upon low lying islands. But never in the days
of the Doges or afterward was the Adriatic so
rude to the Italian city the Mexican Gulf
was to Galveston. ST. Marks was never in
peril from such a tempest as that which
wrought havoc on the Texan coast
But Southern courage and spirit cannot he
daunted by any catastrophe. Glance at the his
tories of Richmond and Atlanta and of other
towns in Dixieland after the Civil War! How
gallantly and successfully they struggled against
adverse fatel Remember what Charleston has
done since the destructive earthquake from
which she suffered, and what Jacksonville has
accomplished since the great confia grafton
which laid her desolate. And Galveston, with
all the woes which fell upon her. will surely
rise triumphant over her present troubles and
embarrassments

CCBA'S Urgent NEED.

Nearly two months ago, in discussing the
urgent need of commercial and Industrial reiiet
FOR Cuba, We plainly pointed out that relief to
be effective must come soon, and that II 1t were
delayed the result would be year OF ruin for
the island, with all the embarrassment to this
country which that would entail. We then men
toned the first week of February as the time
by which a reciprocity arrangement should go
into effect in order to afford a market for the
present sugar crop of Cuba and TO enable the
farmers TO realize upon their produce and thus
go forward with preparations for another crop.
The date mentioned is now at hand, and the
needed action has not yet been taken. We re-
gret to add that the forebodings of two months
ago seem to be in grave danger of fultilment
Advices from Cuba are Ominous. Two sugar
factories at MatanZas were last week closed for
an indefinite period because of the lack of
surance of a market for the product Elsewhere
the situation is reported to be critical. with
out doubt" writes one correspondent, matters
VIII be brought TO a head after the first week
lin February. All thinking people agree that
ANY reduction under 30 per cent would only
serve to postpone the crisis for Il few months,
'and they are generally disposed to meet it
now rather than wait until May. Sugars are
now being placed in storehouses, but the stor
age capacity will be exhausted early in Febru-
"ary. Sugar is stored in order to secure ad
"vances. but the sugar will not bring enough TO
enable many to continue work, and it is thought
that good many estates will have TO stop
grinding before the middle of February"
This is not a sensational and imaginative but
a conservative and practical view of the stua-
ton. 1t is to be commended to the careful con-
Sderation of those who disnclined TO fulfil
the moral obligations of this country toward
Cuba. They will do we'll 10 consider the alter
native TO reciprocity. If Cuba does not get re-
lief-that is to say. justice-what then: Surely
the United States does not want to have Cuba
on ifs hands" indefinitely in such a sense
England has at times had Ireland on its hands,
or as Austria has had Croatia, as Russia has
had Poland. 1t does not want TO have to main
tain million pauperized Cubans-pauperized
by its own injustice 1t does not want to have
TO maintain an army in Cuba TO suppress Cuban
insurrection against industrial and commercial
oppression. 1t does not want TO see the expert
ment of Cuban self-government result in social
and political chaos. Yet the fact stares us in
the face to-day that one another of these
conditions will be imminent if the United States
Government does not deal with Cuba according
to the dictates of justice and morality.
New-York tribune., 1902-01-31
NO AIMS FOR CUBA.

An employe Of the Agricultural Department
at Washington, acting for the time as an ad-
vocate Of the beet sugar lobby against the ad-
ministration, in the course of some of the most
surprising testimony lately given before a Con-
gressional committee, is reported TO have said
Of Cuba on Wednesday that "a country that begs
''alms cannot be said to be In the best condition
'for free government"
The implied sneer at Cuba is entirely un-
warranted. Cuba is not asking aims She
has not asked aims. The President and others
who propose reciprocity in trade with Cuba
do not mean to give her aims. What Cuba
asks is simple justice What the President
proposes is simply TO fulfil the demands of
morality and honor. Or perhaps there is some
thing more. Since some prudent souls in this
country seem 10 think that in a time of unex-
ampied prosperity, and with an overfowing
surplus In the Treasury. the United States can
not anord to be just and honorable Cuba offers
III Der poverty and distress. to pay us for being

THE STRIFE OF TONGUES

We do not believe that Americans are a
quarrelsome people, but it is a fact, neverthe-
less, that just at present the whole country
seems TO be in disputatious mood. Digniied
Senators hurling epithets epigrams and
other things at each other over questions of
policy, and In the House motives are cheerfully
impugned at the drop of a hat. Everybody OBJ
jects to what everybody else says or even
thinks, and if a man has no enemies to dis
agree with him he is pretty sure TO have enough
candid friends who are ready and willing to

TIE WAYS AND MEANS OF IRRIGATION.

The need of irrigation for millions of acres of
Western land is too obvious to call for argu-
ment Nobody questions II. 1t would be re-
proach to our civilization TO leave those vast
panses forever in arid unproductive and un-
inhabitable state, when it is possible and easy.
by utilizing existing water supplies. TO make
them the pleasant and profitable abode of a
teeming population. The practicability and
value Of irrigation have been too we'll estab-
lisbed in many parts of the world for thou
sands of years to need argumentative demon
stration at this late day.
1t is one thing. however. to say that thing
should be done. and another and very different
thing to say that it should be done by the ma
tional government. If we were socialists, look
Ing 10 the State for everything. we might ask
the government TO irrigate and TO redeem the
arid lands. Being mostly Republicans and Dem
ocrats, the American people dislike "paternal-
ISM" and believe that much should be left to
local initiative and to private enterprise: and
this work of irrigation seems to be something
which might best thus be left Our available
area of land is not yet so overcrowded as 20
make the provision Of more land for settlement
work Of national necessity. 1t would be ques-
uonabe policy to tax, even indirectly, the owners
of existing farms for the creation of new farms
TO come into competition with theirs, and to ap-
propriate to such uses the proceeds from the
sale of public lands-as is proposed-would prac-
tically amount to such taxation. Nor does 1t
seem any more reasonable to ask the national
government to improve the arid lands of the
West than 1t would be to ask 1t to reimprove
the abandoned farms OF the East. The fact
that the government itself still owns much of
the arid territory is argument for it's under
taking the work of irrigation. There is no more
reason for its supplying irrigation than for its
supplying fences or buildings or stock.
Many years ago the irrigation question arose
in Australia The colonial government declined
TO deal with it. Thereupon corporation pur-
chased of the government vast tract of arid
land. constructed irrigation works and resoId
the irrigated lands TO settlers. The enterprise
proved profitable. and was highly successful in
all respects. The problem has been similarly
solved In many places In the United States
Some public control of watercourses is of
course essential In order TO prevent monopoly
and oppression, but that is already provided for
In the laws of many. If not of all, States Per-
haps over some reservoirs and watercourses ma
tionai control may be necessary. But as for the
general work of irrigation. there seems to be no
convincing reason why 1t may not be done by
State or by private enterprise. and be thus done
more justly than by the federal government.

miracle-namey, the existence of Chrlsuanlty

vocferous defenders.
Now, the clergy may see their way to some
great moral good through the free use OF bad
language. We do not forget that Isaiah, Jere-
miah and Ezekiel were somewhat strong in the
matter of epithets, and that even the minor
prophets We're not behind them in this respect.
But we submit with all due respect that the
moral usefulness of an unbrded tongue is
widely questioned in the modern world of to-
day, and that scolding twentieth century
parson may not, like the prophets of old, claim
the license of divine inspiration.

SALARIES OF FEDERAL JUDGES

The Senate judiciary Committee has favor
ably reported Senator Hoar's bill increasing by
% per cent the salaries of federal Judges. and
we hope there is a better chance of its passage
than the usual fate of similar measures would
portend. year ago Mr.. Hoar proposed an in
crease OF Do per cent, which certainly was not
extravagant. though his introduction at this
session OF still more moderate measure may
perhaps be taken TO indicate that he feared il
would be so regarded. 1t might be urged as an
objection 10 this later proposition that its ac-
ceptance would probably postpone indefinitely
a suitable increase of judicial salaries but as
matter of fact, they were increased by small
amounts twice in quick succession many years
ago. and possibly Mr.. Hoar regards that as an
encouraging augury. Surely the only intrinsic
defect Of his new bill is that which the earlier
one exhibited in less degree-namely. that it
does not provide an adequate support for those
whom il seeks TO benefit
IL Is reproach TO the nation that its Judges
DO not receive salaries on which they can live

now. and if public sentiment not offended
by that increase there is no reason to suppose
that IL would be offended by another, or, in
deed, to doubt that the people are actually dis
pleased with the parsimonious treatment by
Congress of the Judiciary. England preserves
many ancient abuses which the United States
would not tolerate but the liberal support
which as rule she gives her public servants.
and OF which her higher judges are assured, is
not one of them. This rich and marvellously
prosperous country has more sins of false econ
Omy than of extravaganza To answer for.
