RECLALuINd THE MARSH LANDS.

NV EARLY every State in the Union has tracts of Iowland that
AN only need draining to be richly ayai1ablexfor mans uses
New Orleans expects 10000 delegates at the National Drain
age Congress there this week. There are 75000000 acres of wet
land III the United States that could be reclaimed and largely
utilized to add to the food supply and so reduce the cost of living
\ national drainage policy and federal action for control of rivers
to prevent floods are also called for. Louisiana alone has nm
drained delta prairie equal in area TO all the land reclaimed by
irrigation in the West in the past two decades. The alluvial wet
lands OF this country cut up into farms could be made to produce
*f5oO0O0O bushels of corn a wear. Both in North and South Jersey
there are large tracts of marsh lands tOtaling about 100000 acres,
or 600 square miles. The State has never adopted any policy in
respect to its marsh lands and private enterprise has done very
little IN the way of reclamation. There is evidence enough of this
lack of enterprise in the condition in which the Newark and Hack
ensaek meadows, Invaluable for commerce and manufactures. have
existed for so long. In the eight counties of The southern belt there
are about 100000 acres of tide marsh. If reclaimed and fortified
two-thirds Of this area would support a population several times
larger than the present one and would make South Jersey an i'm.
portant source of food supply.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Since when are public streets used as
a dumping place?
Being a resident of Boyd street. be-
tween West Kinney street and Seven
tenth avenus, l take notice every day
the whole block being blocked up by
wagons loaded with rags and paper,
handled loosely and weighed on the
sidewalk. 1t is of no use for the street
cleaning department to do their work
in this street, as ii win be covered
again in half an hour after the clean
ing Is done. In case of a fire 1t would
be impossible for the fire department
to do its duty, as it would be impos-
sible for them to pass all these vehi-
cles and p~ush-carts. Hoping the
street department and Board of Health
will AXE this matter up, 1 remain,
yours, A CITIZEN.

murder in this State and fed to Italy it would be we'll to
md out The present status Of Porter Charltons case. Charlton,
who murdered his wife in Italy and sunk her body in the Lake
OF Como, IS still an inmate of a New Jersey prison and is comfort
ably lodged. and the demand by Italy for his extradition is hung
up at Washington. Strong administration influences are protecting
this woman butcher at the expense of American national honor.
and there is evidently a determination by the department of justice
that he shall not be punished for his revolving crime. New Jersey
had better withhold8ts demand for eXtradition until our government
ceases to shelter and protect mnrderers demanded by Italian and

WILSON REPUDLAT TED IN ILLINOIS.

tt illinois has been looked upon as the pivotal State in the
Ii Democratic presidential convention campaign. The fight in
Illinois was squarely between Speaker Clark and Governor
Wilson. The former did not enter the State to make a speech.
while Governor Wilson made frequent appearances and campaigned
the State at the close. Wilson had the Endorsement and assistance
in Chicago of Roger c. Sullivan and his machine. while his spell
binders covered the State. Illinois has rendered its verdict and ii is
emphatic The Illinois Democracy will have none of Wilson. 1t
has arrayed itself under the Clark banner. Illinois will give her
electoral votes to Clark in the Baltimore convention. The back
of the Wilson candidacy was broken in Illinois Yesterday. broken
beyond repair. There need he no calculations for an election for
Governor in New Jersey next fall. Governor Wilson will serve out
his official term.

Wells is continually attacked by the

Wells much as Clement SCOTT used 10

But Wells doesn't mind. One DAY at
