for single column width in the treat
ment of subjects considered of sufh-
cient Importance to constitute "lead-
ers."
The first written after his return
was devoted to a plea for harmony
in democratic ranks. He says that
"good government represents a series
of compromises between extremes"
and applies the premise as applicable
to political parties ambitious for sue
cess. Eloquently he calls on all demo-
Gratis to let the past take care Of itself
and to take note Of the fact that the
present and future should receive
their earnest consideration. They are
asked to follow the example of the
builders of good government, to make
concessions, to compromise. AS he
views it this should be easy for all.
The only compromise on honorable
grounds, that will bring the opposing
factors of the national organization
into harmony, and will insure the sue
cess of the party next November, in
wolves nothing but a recognition OF
the rectitude and wisdom of the
course pursued by the national con
v%entions of 1896 and 1900"
Very simple, isn't it? All that
Cleveland and the other eastern dem
ocrats have to do in order to be re-
stored to fellowship once more is to
declare that they were wrong when
they twice opposed the nominee OF
their party. In other words, they need
only subscribe to the contentious and
demands now making by Bryan and
all will be forgiven. If it gravel them
to do so, they should learn lessons OF
crts to let the past take care of itself
own feelings and beliefs and surren-
der whatever opinions they may have
entertained, all for the very laudable
purpose of effecting a compromise. If
they still persist in their heresy, not
w~ithstanding the open way pointed
out to them, let them be anathema
and the Miner should be the priest
that with bell and candle formally
consigns them to outer darkness.

required Of the cultivation of one
eighth of the land"
This ruling directly affects appli-
cants for patents to lands under a
number of the large %irrigallon bitches
in several OF the western states. I'm
der this decision the mere presenta.
ton of a water right secured by pur-
chase from a company will not be
considered sufficient proof. 1t u
lbe accompanied by conclusive evil
dence that the capacity of the ditch
and the water supply are sufficient to
irrigate the land, that the ditch com
pany has actually supplied the water
required, and that the land has been
actually cultivated.
1t has frequently been the practice
Of large canal companies to sell water
rights far in excess of the water sup
ply or the carrying capacity Of the
ditch, and this decision, by rendering
such water rights of no value as
proofs, may serve to protect innocent
purchasers who contemplate taking up
homes on desert lands in the vicinity
of these canals.

DESERVES OPPOSITION.

Portland Evening Telegram: 1t is
announced by the Rural Free Delivery
News, the official organ of the Ma
tional Letter-C Carriers association,
that the committee on postofices and
post roads intends to recommend in
the increased salary bill for rural
carriers, now pending before congress,
a provision which will prohibit the
carriers from taking subscriptions to
newspapers.
The editor of the paper alluded to
claims to have reliable information
that such recommendation will be
made by the committee. Assuming
that this is the fact, it will readily
appeal to every fair-minded man that
such a measure deserves nothing
short of defeat. This is evident both
on the score of justice to the carrier
and of economy to the department.
The increase in salary contemplated
by the bill nov before congress will
insure the rural carrier $50 per
month. 1t is hardly necessary to call
attention to the fact that a consider.
able portion of this monthly stipend
must be expended for the care and
maintenance of a horse, and thai
stripping the carrier of the revenue
as proposed in this measure, which as
postmaster he has enjoyed for sc
many years, will work a detrimen
instead of a benefit when the bill
finally becomes a law. 1t is also clea.
that the extended circulation of news
papers in a community is bound to in
crease the governments revenue iron
handling first-class mail matter. A
suggested by the editor of the Rura
Free Delivery News, this is self-ev:
dent from the one fact, if from n
ether, that people do not answer &C
vertisements appearing in papers the
do not see.
So far as the practical work of tn
, department is concerned, these rura
carriers are substitutes for the fol
mer country postmaster, whose priv
lege to accept subscription for periot
) icals and newspapers is too long es
tablished to be open to question
, Just what motive prompts the con
mittee to make such recommendation
as has been indicated is beyond GU
! ken. At all events such a step ma
: safely be set down as entirely uncal
ed for. 1t should be regarded wit
disfavor by the public, the publishe
and the letter-carrier alike.

o GOOD ROADS.

Up to the present the government
has seen fit to give aid to the con-
struction of no kind of roads, except
railroads. That some of these might
be built it has bestowed land in al
most unlimited quantities and has
loaned it's credit in floating forms OF
Indebtedness incurred by such corpo-
rations. Now it is purposed that the
government shall aid in the building
of wagon roads.
To bring this about a measure is
now pending in congress, known as
the Brownlow bill. 1t was intro
duced in the house by Representative
Brownlow of Tennessee and in the
senate by Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire, and appropriates $24,OOO,-
900 as a national contribution to the
construction of good wagon roads.
This money is to be ~apportioned
among the different states according
to their population, but no state shall
receive less than $25O,OOO. Each state
wishing to avail itself of the benefit
of the appropriation must add an
amount equal to that received from
the government. Taking it for grant
ed that each will draw it's proportion,
it will make a grand total Of $48,OOO,-
900 to be expended in road building.
Conservatively estimated the expen-
diture of that sum for the purpose in
tended will result in the building OF
from 5000 to 1000 miles of first-class
road that will be affected neither by
frost, spring rains nor the "~breakups'
following the close of winter.
Due care has been exercised by
the Trainer OF the bill that the money
voted shall be prudently, economical
ly and scientifically expended. For
that purpose provision is made for the
creation of a bureau of public roads,
the same to form a part of the depart
ment of agriculture and to be under
the direction and management of the
secretary of that department. Con
struction of roads under the .prOvis
ions of the proposed law will be under
the sole control of the buerau, and nc
road may be built or improved a
the expense of the fund until after
an investigation and approval by the
director of the bureau.
Aside from the benefits of actua
construction of good roads, the Law
would be resultant of other great ben
ehts in the value of the object les
8EE%ZEtIa
son it would prove. To the farmers
it appeals with special force and al
most everywhere they r giving tn
bill their earnest and united support
In its behalf they claim, and no
without justice, that the plan of dis
tribution contemplated under it i
more equitable and just that the an
nual distributions of vast sums TO
the improvement of rivers that ar
not navigable and harbors that ar
v visited by craft of more in
portance than flatboats or skiffs.

$4,000 Rice Crop.

H. Winn, of Lake Arther, La
IN conversation with News repre-,
sentative while on a recent visit to
Gueydan a few days ago. stated
that he had sold $4,000 worth OF
rice from his $50 acres of rice
whica he had in cultivation last
year, and in addition to this he has
something like 1000 bags on hand'
The reader will bear in mind
however, that this $50 acres OF rice
was raised exclusively for seed pur-
poses, which is accountable for the
large returns. On this tract OF land
a large average of IA l-2 bags per
acre was produced which was sold
at Lake Arthur at four dollars per
barrel.
MIR. Winn Is a believer in the
fertilization IF rice at the rate Of
Is pounds per acre which will M
crease the yield about 25 per cent.
Mr.. Winn recommends the Dis
solved Bone Acid Fertilizer which
can he laid down III Gueydan by
the car load lot for about sixteen
dollars per ton.-Gueydan News.

Some Light Wanted

plotted as follows:
''I'd like to have some on: tell
me whether there is any absolute

Of the best people I ever knew

believe they re doing nothing wrong,
while others OF nearest and dearest

And yet they engage !" some
amusenents which do not seem snv
less Objectionable than cards or
dancing.
..For instance, | atteaced an
