WATCH THE COUNT"

Under the above caption the Buffalo Inquirer
sounds a warning and calls attention to state
OF affairs in New York which is closely para-
leled in Rhode Island as to make its warning
doubly pertinent here.
After calling attention TO the fact that the
county canvassing boards, with few exceptions,
are Republican, the Inquirer adds; "The state
canvassing board is Republican, with members
passing upon their own continuance i'll office The
only reliances against the trickery the Republican
state committee has set afoot the honesty Of
the men composing these bodies and fear of pub
lie opinion.
ITO reinforce their honesty it is advisable for
public opinion to begin TO express itself in de-
cided terms. 1t should be made plain to them
that perseverance along the line begun will brand
the participants as thieves forevermore. In the
present state OF things that. brand is not light
some burden.
Revelation of the storm which awaits the un-
dertakers of rascality cannot begin too SOON Their
honesty may be sufficient but it should never
theess be propped by the fear of everlasting pun
ishment."
There should be some such deterrent not only
in New York. but in every other state where a
partisan election board may be disposed to lean
toward the creatures OF those who created it,

HARVESTING A RIVER.

The railroad dams contrived and built to
turn thu Colorado river back into it's
course lave at last succeeded after seV-
eral failtres and profuso expenditure OF
money, expert skill, and hard work. The
fow'into the remarkable Salton sink Is
checked. and the very considerable body
OF water which has accumulated in the
great depression, which stretches from
United states territory well down into
Mexico, VII now evaporate in the course
OF time unAss IL Is further replenished.
The lake nov covers hundred of square
miles or desert TO depth that varies
from ten TO Que hundred and twenty feet
and is feature OF the far Southwest that
provokes thoxhtful persons to medita-
tion. Some y them strongly favor its
retention by cooperation of the United
States and Mexican governments, on the
ground that !t aas proved exceedingly
beneficial TO the climate OF the whole
Southwest OF TIN United States and OF
northern Mexico. The rainfall, Il seems.
has been abundint and beneficent be-
yond precedent inthat region during tho
last two years, andcrops have been raised
by It's help whereit had not been sup
posed that crops ould be raised with
out irrigation. TP, theory is that the
influence Of the newSalton Sea has made
1t possible for the ain-clouds from the
Pacific Ocean TO eros the desert where's
aforetime its blastini heat used to dis
sipate them, leaving arid the lands be-
yond, which of late hive got their share
OF rain. This is anlinterestlng theory
and will doubtless getthe full Investiga-
tion which its importance merits A
very stout string will be tied TO the
Colorado River before is let out OF it's
course again, but N tftre is a profit I'm
having part of II maiItain a great lake
in the Saiton sink lnsteh OF running into
the Gulf OF California. the diversion can
doubtless be arranted and managed now
with safety under competent restriction.
The river has shcwn what IL could do.
Perhaps IL was worth doing. .--Harper's
Weekly.

KEEP OUT THE POLITICIANS.

The increasing number OF at least nominal can
didates who would like to succeed Col. Gross as
police commissioner, and especially the character
of most of these selections, emphasizes the deep
interest in the matter that should be taken by all
good citizens.
1t is evident that the office is sought by poti-
clans, either directly for themselves or for those
whom they know they could control, for purposes
not only unworthy, but detrimental to the city and
TO the best interests of the police department
The efficiency and value OF this important
branch OF the public service can be secured and
maintained only in proportion as it is kept free
