Reclamation Act Is Constitutional.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-The con.

THAT NEW PARTY TALK.

AS a mild form Of dissipation we'll
suited to these warm, summer days the
talk Of a new political party can do 20
harm, for no one will take it serious
ly. 1t Is doubtful whether even the
distinguished gentlemen responsible
for it thought it would get beyond the
festal board at which it had its incep.
ton.
Truth is that the American people
do not want a new political party. At
different times effort has been made to
organize one, but it always failed. In
the early seventies there were ''insur-
gents" in the republican party, only
they were not known by that name.
BY forming a combination with the
democrats they hoped to be successful,
a hope that was SO strong that it caus.
ed them to place a national ticket in
the field. History tells how the at.
tempt succeeded. Getting down to
more recent times we have the popu-
lists. the free-silverites and other de.
fections from the two domin ating poll.

HUMsUGGING THE PEOPLE.

A successful American Snowman
once remarked that 1.-THE people like
to be h~umbugged," and by the appli-
cation of this theory to his business
methods he accumulated an immense
fortune. That was many years ago.
but the %gullibility of the public re.
mains as q lucrative field for exploit.
tation by those who care to take ad.
vantage Of the opportunity offered.
The recent public function at Reno,
New. popularity known as q prize
fight for the heavyweight champion"
chip of the world, afforded most con-
vincing proof Of the truth of the show
mans estimate of his fellow citizens.
Public interest in this alleged great
fistic event was excited by the rankest
kind of humbug, and the delusion last.
ed almost TO the moment when the re.
fierce informed the spectators that
most of them had placed their money
on the wrong man.
The deception having passed into
history, many of the victims r o
dering why they were 80 foolish as to
accept the ''dope" handed to them by
the dispensers Of prize.ring humbug.
For several months past the news
papers have teemed with columns of
slush about this or that pugilistic cele-
brity, and those who paid attention to
the stuff actually believed in the hon.
esty OF the statements and the ability
of the writer's to pick the winner.
Those afflicted with betting %proclivities
risked their money on the judgment of
so.called experts In the sport world,
most of whom were positive in the op-
inion that Mr.. Jeffries had q cinch on
the game and would wipe the earth
with his colored opponent.
That such anticipations were mere
humbug is clearly apparent to many
who INDUCED them prior to the per-
Torrance, and they begin to realize
that the alleged sporting experts were
chumps. or conspired to deceive the
public. In any event, the people were
humbugged, and up to the moment of
exposure they apparently enjoyed the
experience.
The benefciaries of this performa nce
reaped a golden harvest. According
to reliable advices from Reno the ate
money at the arena amounted to over
S27O,0 OO, and the amount expended In
railway fares, hotel accommod atoms
and other incidentals doubtless ran
into the millions. In the matter of
wagers. there can be no estimate
made, but enormous sums changed
hands in all parts Of the world, the
loss coming from the pockets Of PEG.
pie who had been humbugged into the
belief that Mr.. Johnsipg would be
soundly whipped.
II the people like to be humbugged,
there will always be opportunities for
enjoying that kind OF recrea alton.

CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES.

During the session of congress which
has just closed, the senate appointed
a committee charged with the investi-
CATION of the subject of the high cost
of living. This committee was in.
structed to make the investiga alton
exhaustive and in pursuance to its
Instruction the testimony of men in
all callings was taken by the commit.
tee. Whether the conclusions arrived
at by the investig ators we're absolutely
correct or not, the fact remains that
at least in some particulars the in.
yestig ators placed the blame for the
condition where it rightfully belongs.
The movement of the people from
the places OF production to become
largely consumers, or in other words
the leaving OF the farm for q home in
the congested cities, is one If not the
chief reason OF the present high price
of living, declares the commission
which pursues the subject further and
points out that while the population
Is rapidly increasing the production
of food supplies is steadily growing
less.
All this has been said before. A
long time ago James J. Hill lifted the
note of warning, and in q public ad-
dress declared that unless the people
returned to the farm to there become
producers of the food supply of the
nation, disaster would become inevi.
table. Nothing could have been more
to the point than we're the words of
the railroad man, but possibly 1t
would need the positive statement of
congressional investiga tor to clinch
the facts and to forcibly impress upon
the people the soundness OF the warn.
ings of a close observer.
The fact that South America and
the inland continent are engaged in
supplying the world with breadstuffs
does not trouble the American wheat
grower, for the problem is not now,
How shall 1 find a market for my
wheat? But rather, How shall 1 find
wheat for my market.
The public lands open to entry are
rapidly becoming less and the oppor.
tunities for securing lands upon
which to raise the bread of the nation,
are constantly being %lessened, says
the Billings Gazette. The opening of
vast tracts which had been Withdrawn
upon n pretext or another, helps
some in relieving the stress and the
open of the Indian reserva.
tons will help some more, but when
every acre in these United States sus-
to guilty alton, is producing
its crops, the production will not ex-
coed the demand, and with the con.
slant growth of population in mind it
is safe to say that the production of
will never be great enough to
lower very materially the price, and
the wheat grower will never see the
time when he cannot secure q good
price for his product.
In the northwest land values are
still reasonable, when prices for like
lands elsewhere are taken into &C.
count, and with the constantly in.
creasing demand for farm products,
1t Is obvious that land values will
never grow less and that on the con.
trary each year will see the price of
land in the northwest advance until
the lands of Montana will rival in
cost those of the oldest sections of the
United States.

enjoyed in Washington one is moved
almost to tears over the commonplace
nature of his own times. John Adams

no one ever pulled kodak on him.
President Taylor used to walk about
