Economy in Government.

Judge Parker, in his address to
the Democratic editors, dwelt
upon the fact that there should
be economy in the government
of the United States. He points
ed out that the expenses of gcv@
ernment under the Republicans
10 increasing all the time. The
Roosevelt administration has
fairly run riot in the expe nditure
of money.
The expenditures have been
for things which have not ben
Iefitted the people in the least.
There is no earthly reason Why the
expenses of the National GOvz
|errlment should increase like they
have. Judge Parker has done the
lcountry a distinct service to call
attention to the extravaganza OF
the National Government under
the rules of the Republicans.
Economy, consistent with the
need of the government under an
economical and wise adminlstra :
tion, has always been the plati
form of the Democratic party,
Judge Parker pointed out that
there has not been Repub lican
administration that was as eco-
nomicaI as the two administra-
tions of Cleveland.
| The government of the United
States is costing more today than
it has ever cost, and we are moi
getting any more for our money
This question of economy is go
ling to be brought prominently
forward during the campaign and
it is bound toscut something of q
| figure.
| Judge Parker has given the
Democrats the cue and has state q
the situation as it is.--Jacksor

We take the following from the
Massachusetts Ploughman:

We take the following from the
Massachusetts, Ploughman:
ssFarmer William H. Ellis, of
Bloomington. N. ", owns a little
white mare called Whitefoot.
Every school day morning White
foot hauIs Mr.. Ellis's two little
girls in a wagon to the school,
house, a mile from home, and
after leaving the children the lit
tie mare turns round and trOts
back to her masters house with
out any driver. When the school,
closing hour approaches, Mr..
Ellis bitches Whitefoot and starts
her off alone for the sch0ol.house
and in due time she comes back
with the little girls. She is so
careful and expert in passing We
hicles on the road that she never
has collision or damages her
harness.
On Sunday night last Mr.. El-
|lis's hired man drove Whitefoot
over to Middleton on his way
to New York. Before embark-
inc on the cars here he tackled q
piece ofpaper on the wagon seat
containing this notice: Don't
| stop this mare. She belongs to
William Ell. Ellis, Bloomingburg,
and will 60 home all right and
then turning the mares head
homeward, he let her go. Sure
enough, she covered the distance
a long nine miles, in safety, and
at q pace that brought her homo

A grand old man,

A grand old man, Henry G..
Davis, is in very truth. But speak
of him as told" to a West Virs
gian, says an article in Leslie, .
Monthly Magazine for September
and your age suggestion WILL be
promptly resented. When ma
tional committeeman McCraw,
who was the most active sponsor
of the Davis ssboom'' ar st, Louis
began his crusace. he found the
age objection the hardest to over
come. sHe's told DID," said Col.
Guffey of Pennsylvania, whose
sixty : eight votes were much de-
sired. my dear Colonel, "
promptly responded McCraw, "if
yonr objection is physical, just
you come and take a days horse
back ride with him over the West
Virginia hills and m0untainss il
you have doubt Of his mental
strength. come down a maize a
trade with him. The silver
haired leader of Pennsylv aniGs
unterrifled Democracy, having
had business experience with sem
ator Davis, had nothing more to
say.

nests, or mounds, are always in
a perfect line with the parllel of

 and running water about two iset deep. force 0f eight Indians, three white men and four horses was put to work and kept at 1t irrcgularly, working about three days each week and nine hours a day.
 We asked that night force be en. ployed, but got the answer from engin. eer Perry Our men don't work after night Tn the meantime our crops were dying. After three weeks of this irregular work, the break was repaired and about August 10th, water was supp lied to No. !
 Two months later, October 18th. the No. heading at Sharp's washed out. This reduced the water 20 that No. : received none. Then No. , was dry again for the third time since July lst. and no water was received except for domestic purposes for four months. The summer crop was just heading out when the water last failed SO that all the failures reduced the yield to about one egg tn of the normal productisn.
 The breaks at the No. heading were about seven weeks in being repaired. For these seven weeks, the farmers of No. were obliged to haul water for their stock, some az far as six miles. Many farmers actually moved to more favorable localities. When the break. at No. l heading were finally repaired, 1t was learned that the shortage of water in the main canal system was such that No. 5 could get only enough water for domestic purposes. All this time the California Development Com pany officials continued promising an abundance of water within ten days time. Relying on these promises the farmers of No , in the fall and winter of l903 and 1901 planted 1000 acres of winter crops. Only one fourth of q nor mal yield has been secured The dam age is not less than ten dollars per acre. This aggregates damage of $7O,0O 5000 acres more would have been plant ed, had the water supply been certain. It is now May 30, 1904 and Imperial Water Company No. is still suffering q shortage of water.
 On the lst of October 1903, the Cal iforuia Development Company began the erection of heading and wasteway for Imperial Water Company No. , and has continued to work at irregular in- tervals. It is not sufficiently completed to furnish an abundance of water 10 tn stockholders, although 5000 inches oi water have be-n running to waste down the Alamo River for the last three weeks. Even were the headgates com plet"d, the abundance of water coming soon will be too late to save the winter crops, now either ripe or dead.
 These difficulties have arisen because of the inability of the California De- velopment Company to contr"! the wat CT even under esp cialIy fav"rihl' nat ural conditions. This inability, w. be lieve, proceeds from three sources Lack of heart in fulfilling contracts, lack of money, lack of judgment in coping with conditions.
