speech il the senate on Tuesday. Mr..
Ne~lsnds finds power in the cons.itu-
ton to deal with everything remotely
connected with water i'll the United
States, including vatered stock.
He advocates tho appointment of a
commission to carry out the plane in
volved, with a permanent appropriation
behind 1t Of $50, OOO, 900, to be maintain
ed at that level by the issue Of bonds by
tho president, on the supposition that at
least that amount will be spent every
year for ten yeare. His scheme includes
not only the development Of all availa-
BILE waterways OF the country, but Incl
dental to that-and he points ont most
clearly how they ara ucideutal-the
undertaking Of irrigation Of arid lands,
the reclamation OF swampe, the con-
servtion and replacement 10 forests.
the Qualification Of streams, aud the
utilization OF such water power as may
be developed in connection with the
general plan of water control.
Mr.. Newlands suggests that rart of
the cost muy be paid by states, corpora.
anu individuals To be benefited, aud
that where there is any question OF in
tereterinH with he rights OF states; NUT
ual agreement and co operation may be
resorted to. He emphasizes the extent
10 which the p.eseIt transportation
facilities Of the country have become
tnnhnnnnfn md H.. N-k A.
no hope Of relief except by water
carriage. The great interest taken in
the subject by the senate was eyinced by
the careful attention paid TO Mr.. New
lands speech and by the many questions
asked him In the course Of it.
Not only is the appointment OF the
commission left to the executive, but the
entire responsibility and power to carry
out the provisions OF the bill are vested
in him. This is justified by the fact
that the work to be done is purely cd
IN IL istrative and OF a character with
which congress is not competent tc deal,
and by the very satisfactory experience
already had by the same method IN deal
ing with the reclamation WORK and the
Panama canal.

POLITICS AND
CURRENT REFORM.

# may be shrewd politics Tor Senator
Aldrich to side-track resolutions Of
democratic senators who were prepared
To attack Secretary Cortelyou's recent
bond transactions.
From the ADMINISTRATORS standpoint
no doubt it is inexpedient to have it's
blunders emphasized, but this congress,
il it accomplishes anything, must deal
with the financial question effectively.
70 that end discussion must be free and
invt stigation unimpeded by personal or
political considerations.
Secretary Cortelyou, whose sale OF
bonds and certificates proved such u
sorry fizzle, offers no adequate remedy
for currency conditions. Neither does
President Roosevelt. The one carefully
digested plan OF currency relief in
Washington is fathered by Represent
ative Fowler, chairman Of the house
committee ON banking and currency
and he is in bad odor with the admins
traion because he challenged the le-
gality Of Secretary Cortelyou's acts
Senate Aldrich, chairman OF the senate
committee on finance, seems to be all at
sea. So far his most notable perfor
nance has been to smother free inquiry
and debate.
Before entering upon he's legislation
congress must have full knowledge Of
the powers Of the secretary OF the trea-
sury aud the validity and results OF his
methods. Both Secretary Shaw and
Secretary Gortelyou nave been severely
criticised Tor their lawless innovations.

My Dear Governor.
You will undoubtedly see an interview

his Goldticld dispatches, | was exceed
Ingly careful in my statements to him,
and tried to be fair to both sides OF the
controversy. The get OF what little |
said was that, i'll ia! opinion, i'll asking
for troops you had acted i'll good faith
and had taken the only step possible
under TIE circumstances; that during
the first few days OF my stay in Gold
field, ] had examined about one hundred
and fifty citizens, and zane to the con-
clusiOn tina there was genuine alarm
amoug all classes of people and a dread
as to what would happen il tho troops
were withdraw; that during the last two
days Of my stay people seemed to be
more calm and | was more inclined to
to believe than ! had been ut first that
disorders would not necessarily follow
the removal ~ the troops. | did not
enter into the merits of the controversy
between the mine owners and the union
at all further than to say that, while
there might be q shadow OF excuse Tor
the present strike, there had never been
any for the ones proceeding il. On this
careful and conservative statement, Mr..
Henly made quite nm interview, not mis-
quoting me in important particulars but
simplifying everything TINT ] said in
