THE "MUCK RAKE" SPEECH.

Our strenuous President has again
come out in the direct line-light with
characteristic speech, using Bunyan's
Man With the Muck Rake" a. the
subject. He CONTESTED this pesmistic
person with the modern tendency of
Journalistic writers to denounce graft
and corruption in high places aud he
took occasion to severely condemn
those who had made the magazines
and the press a veritable mirror of in
famous inside workings in government
and corporate greed. He also takes a
fling at organized labor. There was a
personal tinge in his remarks, having
no doubt a relation to the Garfield
Beef Trust wbitewashiug episode. the
postoffice scandals, and other specific
exposures that had for a start the un-
relenting disclosures of certain we'll
known writers such as Lawson, Tar
bell, SteffeLs, Russell, Adams and
Others. He also took bodily the plank
in the Bryan platform advocating an
income tax, differing only in non
essential detail, and boldly accepted ii
as means of defense against the piling
up of collosal fortunes.

Americas New Inland Sea.

Despite all efforts of the South
ern Pacific company to check the
flow of the Colorado river into
the Salton sink the rive, now al.
most at high water mark, is emp
tying water enough into the sink
to cause a Else of 40 of an inch
every "a hours. The area now
covered by the sea is apH1oxi-
mately 500 squire miles. The
lowest potnt in tips great basin
is more shan goo feef below the
sea leve and if nothing can be
done to ,check the flow of the
river, it Will eventually fill up.
The San Francisco Chronicle,
in a recent issue, says: |i"n.
THIS is the regular period of
high waterin the Colorado which
has established a permanent chan
mel to, the Safton sink, into which
the river will empty, if nothing
can be done to theck it until the
basin is fiIi, when it will break
over at some point and cut a new
channel to the gulf of California.
Millions of property belongirg g
to the settlers, the southern Pa
cifc company and the govern
ment are threatened. The rail.
road company spent great deal
of money in an endeavor to pre-
vent the river from permanently
changing itS, course, and seems to
have reached the conclusion that
it will be better TO change the
line of its road than to Gontiude
its contest with the river. The
settlers, of,course are'helpless, and
the question aEises whether the
United States government shall
intervene. The expenditure of
money enough would doubtless
produce an embankment which
would divert the river to its old
channel but whether. or not the
government should engage in ex-
penditure on such a scale is a
matter to be consldered.,''
