The annual report of the secretary of f
the interior is a very coinprohonsive
review of the several branches of the
public eervico which are embraced in
the interior department Among the
mutters reforrcd to which tire of par
ticular nnd pressing interest to tlio
nest is that of irrigation The poore-
tary recognizes the great importance of f
this subject , remarking that there is
none other that should bo moro earn
cstly considered thun this cause , in
which the untional government has al-
ready invested so much money and om
which it has demanded so much attcn-
tion by Its ofllcers This implied ap
proval of a government system of lrri-
gallon is follotvod by the reeotumonda- '
Hon that congress shall at the present
session determine whether it will es-
tablish permanently the reservation of
nil the irrigable lands , and if so , what
general laws It may deem best adapted
to rotrulato the supply and use i
of water under government con
trol 1 In the opinion of the secre
tary 1 action should bo taken
without delay , and the system , it pros
ecuted < by the national government 'i
should i bo based on comprohonslvo ' ,
liberal 1 and practical provisions
Regarding Indian affairs , the report
rotors at some length to the methods
adopted by the administration for their
improvement , and particularly dwells
upon the necessity of extending the •
facilities of education The school
system , says the secretary , with its
attendant practices , is worthy
of adoption aud expansion un i-
til it may bo made to
embrace all the Indian youth There
nro now two huudrod und thirty-nino
Indian schools supported by congres
sional appropriations , ono hundred and
forty-sovon of which are controlled di-
rootly by the Indian burenu , and the
average nttondnnco is between olovou
and twelve thousand pupils The esti i-
mated number of children of school ago
la forty thousand , and tlio soorotury
urges that Immediate provision should
bo made to enable this whole body of
Indian youth to secure an educa
tion It scorns but a slop , bays the sec
retary , to'oxtond the system so as to
liava it embrace and effect , with tlio
eo-oporntion of the church mission
schools , the whole youth of the Indian >
tribes This view is taken , " says the
report , from the vantage ground
of the uotual results alrcudy at
tained , and whllo wo should not
iu nny degree retard , but cordially sup
port , further amelioration of the Indians
dians' condition , by missions mid
all good moans , It is believed that
our government has boon generous
and wise In Its efforts to educate thorn ,
and that the best course lor it is to con
serve what has boon found to bo good ,
mid to apply that to iucrcasod num
bers "
In rolutloT to pensions the secretary
recommends un increase iu the > uppro-
prlation , "so that u liberal and legal
puymont may bo made to nil the do-
borvitig pensioners of the ropubllo , "
und states that the sum required will
reach , in round figures , nitioty-gevou
million dollars The Bocretary thinks
that a pension should bo granted to
every soldier and sailor who did sub
stantial service during the war and was
honorably discharged , nnd who , bolng
dependent on his daily labor for his
support | is now or may hcroaftor bo dlsthe
nblcd from procuring his subsislonco by
such labor Ho would uot confer upon
all who ask the money ot the pcoplo ,
but would hnvo confined to well nscorpit
lamed limits the claims of those who
demand a pension With regard to
ponslontug persons dishonorably
discharged from the military scrvlc ,
which must be done under the Inw ns it
stnnds , the secretary recommends a
change of the law , on the ground that
the pension roll surely should bo ono
where no deserter of his country's ' flag ,
nor nny man who was dishonorably dlsbo
charged from the army , should nppoar "
Regarding the debts duo the govornpli
mont from the subsidized Puclllo railsil
road cotnp.tnms , the secretary
makes no specific rocommongo
datlou , though his position is
sot forth with sufflclont ptalntioss in
the following extract from the report :
The general purpose undoubtedly now
is i , ns it was iu the beginning , to foster
and maintain these great highways
across the continent , nnd If this may bo
accomplished > by a reasonnblo extension
of the debt , with security nt lenst as
good us that now hold , It will bo bettor
than to attempt to enforce obligations
at maturity which It Is evident the
debtors cannot pay , and by which
course the government will have to not
only purchase the road , but assume the
prior ] indebtedness to save it utter it

TIW XAVAL ESTABLISHMENT
The steps that have boon taken durpi
iug the past six or seven years to crouto
.
a navy sufficient for the national dog
tense have resulted very satisfactorily ,
but there is still a great deal to bo done
before the United States can take rank
us a naval power As shown by the rotl
port of the secretary of the navy , when
till the ships now authorized nro coin
plotcd our narnl establishment will con
sist of forty-two armorcdnnd unnrmorcd
vessels , excluding these already or to ,
bocondomiiodaquiteinsignificantshow-
ing in comparison with that of the princi-
pal foreign powers having navies Comal
mcndablo , therefore , as the progress al-
ready made is , it is but a beginning if
the purpose is to do nothing moro than
provide for adequate dofotiso , which is i
the only object the United States can
have in creating a navy With our
vast coast line of thirteen thousand [
miles , it is obvious that forty-two vosn
sols , only three of which are designed -
signed for fighting at son , would afford
very inadequate protection should wo !
be assailed by any of the great naval
powers
The annual report of the secretary of [
the navy , a synopsis of which wo prlut t
elsewhere , shows in detail the present ;
condition of the navy und makes a vigorous -
orous plea for still further enlarging it
Representing n section that is most t
vitally interested in the means
of defense against a foreign
enemy , Secretary Tracy discubses
tlio necessity of an udequato naval force
with great earnestness , and his arguc
monts will hardly fail to make an im"E
pression upon congress and the country
Ho urges that the defonsfa of the United
States absolutely ' requires a flgjitiug
force , and that if the country is to have
a navy at all , it should have ono that is
sufficient for the complete and nmplo
protection of its coast in time of war '
Ho declares that it is idle to spend
our money In building small ,
slow-going steamers thut
tire unnecessary -
necessary in peace and useless in war
The intolllgont sentiment of thocoun- '
try is undoubted'y in favor of providing
such a navy as the purpose of national
defense demands , and while it may bo
said that this is not easy of ascertain
incut , there is greater danger that wo
shall fall short of than exceed the pru-
dent limit It Is highly probable that
icongress will make a liberal response
to the views and recommendations of
the bocretary of the navy ,

the Borvico will never bo vitul-
ized for its highest good and compacted

until the ourdons ot the principal olll-
ieialsaro partly unloaded upon some
ether officer IIo
recommends the cro-
ation of the olllco ot fourth assistant
postmaster coneral , and also the cro-
iutioti ot a now officer having the funo-
tions of a general inatiagor whoso ton
uro Bhould bo for a long term of years ,
bo that the department would not bo
greatly uffectod by any ono man or sot
ol mon moving out This suggos-
tion is altogether unvol , but it
is obviously founded upon sound
business principles There are ether
now recommendations of avorypractl-
ucal charuotoc which will give the post
uolllco committees ot coiigross something
to think about ,
Tlio matters iu the report which most
nearly touch the publlo relate to letter
postage and to fourth class mittor ,
whloh embraces a great variety of artl-
clos not above four pounds in weight !
The last national republican platform ,
favored a reduction of letter po3tago to
ponocent. . The postmaster general thinks
usuch a reduction nn ousy posslbll-
ity of the near future , but says wo nro
not ready for It whllo the present de-
flolcncy exists IIo would improve the
facilities rather than reduce the postage -
ago whllo the servlco still remains |
conspicuously imperfocvi Regarding
infourth class matter , the oarrlngo of
which is of grout bouoflt to people llv-
ing in the rural districts and-on the
ofrontiers , the postmaster General thinks
it would bo unwlbo to make any change
ut present , owing to the lack of fuclli-
'
ties for oularging this part of '
Uio Barvlco A very iranortunt
"
recommendation of the report is (
that the free doll very system |
bo extended to places haying a papula-
it'tion ot not loss than llvo thousund , or
where the gross revenue of the post
ofllco is BovQnlthou8nnd , ( dollars a year ,
tin prosontiinllmltntlons bolng ton

mended , and approval is given to the
plan ot the general government con
structing builulnga for the oxcluslvo
use < of postoffjeos nt towns nnd cities
containing ay/certain / population , or
where the gross revenues of the offlco

ily and rnpidly growing , nnd which ,
because of its intimate relations to the
mntorlal and social Interests ! of the pee
pie , should bo brought as iioarly as posW
slblo to a perfect business system , The
testimony ot the present postmnstor
general is that it Is yet far removed
from that condition The nuthority to
institute required improvements must
come from congress , and the postmaster

eagerly sought by southern markets and the
fuct that the past , three years output has
been talton by the same linn at Little Itoclc ,
Ark , , at a hlghor llguro than the prevailing
market speaks well for the superiority of

The cannel tomato factory , which puts up 1
a superior articto , has not thrived us well as
anticipated owing to tbo failure of the

that ftincu Omaha has railed to build any
railroads into north Nebraska , its capitalists
could well afford to Invest in some Buro en-
terpriso | like the comeut works , and thereby

Inaugurate a state enterprise and pay tribute
