rh. Dye and J.-.t. c.....

Tho editor returned this morning
from Careon where he was held two days
as = witness in the cases OF the United
States against William Dye and William
Jewett. charged with disposiuR Of liquor
TO Indians at T%uscarora. These young
men plead not guilty when R~rraigned,
but Friday afternoon they came into
court and through their attorney, NJ. S
Wilson, withdrew that plea and entered
a plea Of guilty. Judge Hawley gave
Dye some fartherly advice and sem
fenced him to two months in the Storey
county Jail and fined him sl00. This Is
the minimum punishment fixed by the
statutes. The leniency Of Judge Hywley
TO Dye was largely due to an interview
had with the Judge in his chambers by
Mr.. Wilson and the writer. both asked
Judge Hawley to be merciful toward
him.
At the conclusion Of Dyes senten CO
Jewett was ordered to stand up aud re-
ceive his sentence. Mr.. Wilson made a
plea for leniency in his case also, in
which he referred to Jewett's conduct
at the preliminary examination and de.
nounced it III strong language. In pas.
sing sentence Judge Hawley scathingly
referred to Jeve:t's conduct at the ex.
animation and then sentenced him to
seven months imprisonment in the
| Storey county Jail and fined him sl0O,
Had Jewett been gentlemanly in his
conduct at the examination he would
have received a much shorter sentence,
Dye took his sentence in a gentle
manly way which showed that there r
someththe good in him and that he will
profit by his experience. Jewett was

IRRIGATION WORK.

The work Of the Geological Survey in
carrying out the provisions OF the ma
tional irrigational act has brought it TO
the front, as n Of the great executive
departments OF the government. With
a government irrigation fund which Will
be by the end OF the present fiscal year
in the neighborhood OF s25,0 900 ,000, 90
this work must be recognized Us one Of
the very large internal improvements OF
the country. Although irrigation oper-
atiurs are confined largely to :hs lG arid
and semi arid western states, the eastern
part OF the country must be moro or less
interested for several reasons. Men are
constantly moving westward looking for
new homes where they can earn a liveli.
hood, or become land owners, while
business men are interested in seeing q
development OF the west which will az.
ford them wider home markets for their
manufactured products. The changing
OF the western deserts into tens OF thous-
ands OF new and productive small farms
will not only relieve some OF the over
crowded sections Of the east but will
stimulate business OF all descriptions
Just as the opening OF the great Missis-
sippi Valley provided a market for the
American manufactures such, 10 Secre-
tary Wilson saya, as can DO found in no
other part or the world.
Already the Geological Survey has
designated some l6 large irrigation pro.
jects throughout the west where huge
%impounding dams and bitches which
will DO as large as rivers are to be con
structed. Work hns already commenced
On some Of these and the next two or
three years will sec the national irri-
cation policy in full operation.
The s25,000, 900, now practically avail
able for irrigation construction, is by no
means tho limit OF this work since the
fund is constantly growing through the
sales OF western public lands, aud as
Don rs the first irrigation work is com
pleted, the cost Of its construction will
begin to come back into tho fund for
uso ON some other project. 1t is not in.
tended that the government shall give
away the irrigation works. What gov.
eminent land is placed under irrigation
will DO given the homesteRder free, con.
ditional only upon Ina residence aud
cultivation; but the cost OF putting the
water on tho land--the construction Of
the dam and main ditchcs-will be
borne by the settler. II is this business

lSHUMASITY AND CRUELTY.

or all instances OF extreme cruelty
aud iDhumanity, says the ionoPsh Sun,
the action OF Governor Peabody in de-
porting union miners is certainly among
the worst. He sends the men out OF the
state and dumps them oil IN the
deserts and small towns where there Is
not enough food on hand to feed the
men il the communities could bear the
cost. The men are shipped over the
line into Kansas and some into Utah.
they ara without money or food and are
cast upon the charities Of impoverished
and thinly settled communities.
Crimes have Leen committed in Col
orado as all are aware. The men de'
ported in some cases mDy have a guilty
knowledge and some may be implicated
to a greater extent. But il is most un'
likely hat very many were go implicat'
ed. The governor il presumrng a great
deal when he ships out all union mel
because OF the murders committed by
one or very few. His prompt action
plainly elbows that he ordered the de
porlation without gathering evidence
simply because it would have taken
much longer tune to investigate thar
has elapsed since the independence
a~trocity took place.
Governor Peabody is laying up 1
lot OF trouble for himself and the state
when he deports innocent men. BE
longing to a union Is not a crime and il
no cause for punishment OF any kind
The Sun believes hat an innocent man
SO jeported has a perfect legal and con
stitutional right to shoot the first per
on. military or otherwise, who under
takes to deprive him Of his liberty OIL
right to the pursuit Of happiness and
that no governor has the right TO shir

The British House of Commons

Retiring Member. in the National Review
The fallacy that the house of commons is
the best club In London is probably expIOd-
ed by this time. 1t would be difficult to
imagine any place much less like a club
No self-respecting club would endure the
members smoking room for a week In
the winter. unless there is anything of par
ticular interest on in the house. 1t is too
crowded fer members to be able to find
seats. In the summer it is insurerably hot
and stuffy, and all the year round it is un-.
wholesomely draughty. No club would
stand the food which Is served to members
of the house of commons. Still less would
any club stand the house Of commons wait
ers. The permanent servants are excellent
courteous. civil and obliging. But the
large number of members who have to
lunch and dine at the house very frequently
renders 1t impossible to keep enough good
permanent servants to attend to every one,
and the results are, to say the least, UNI
comfortable.
Perhaps nothing will leave a deeper i'm
preston on the mind of the member when
he has finally retired from the house of
commons than the deadly dullness of the
place.. If members would consent to speak
only when they had something to say If
they would remember that what may seem
OF great interest to themselves is simply a
bore to every one else, and If they would
content themselves with saying what they
possible. life in the house of commons
would be less dull and far more work would
be got through in far less time.
Nothing shows the extreme dullness of
the house of commons more plainly than
the way in which members roar with laugh
ter at some trivial joke incident in the
house which would not raise a smile out
side.
