TeSAI-OK STEWABT'S 1BK1WA.
TIOS BILL.
We note by the Washington dispatches
that Senator Stewart has introduced a
bill to promote irrigation in Nevada. We
have net seen the measure in full, but
from the synopsis telegraphed to the
Coast, we conclude that it docs not cut
deep enough. In fact it begins at the
wrong end of things. It is a measure to
give the right of way to canals, irrigating
ditches, reservoirs, etc., through the
public domain. That is not an important
concession to ask at the hands of the
Government. It is not the right to dig,
but the means with which to dig, that
Nevada wants. If the Senator's bill were
a law to-morrow it would not cause the
construction of a single yard of ditch in
the uext live years that would not be
constructed without it. The true thing
for Senator Stewart to do is to ask Con
gress to cede to the State of Nevada for
irrigation purposes every acre of public
land within her borders, leaving to the
State the disposition of the land, and the
creation of an Irrigation fund with which
to reclaim the waste places in cur com
monwealth. We could then have a State
policy on this subject. If the Senator
will take the trouble to examine the
House files of the Forty-eighth Congress
he will find a bill already prepared and
introduced by this writer which exactly
covers the case. It is a better and more
tangible scheme than that proposed by
himself, and will be quite as easily passed.
And besides, when it is once through,
the State and people will have something,
as a result of his trouble and efforts.
While on this question we recall a de
mand made last week by a journal in the
western part of Nevada for Senator Stew
art to go to work and secure au appro
priation of many thousands of dollars for
irrigating purposes in Nevada. Such a
demand is simply nonsense, to put it no
stronger. Any man with ability enough
to address the public through the me
dium of oold, dignified, type, ought to
know more of the theory of his Govern
ment. There is no warrant whatever in
the Constitution of the United States for
any such appropriation as he names.
Money once in the Treasury of the Fed
eral Government can only be gotten out
by Act of Congress, and Congress seldom
enacts a law of doubtful constitution
ality, especially a purely money bill,
which has no'bigher aim than the deple
tion of the people’s vaults.
The Constitution of the United States
and the constitution oi a State stand on
opposite grounds. One is a grant of
power, while the other is a limitation of
power. The Constitution of the United
States enumerates specifically what Con
gress may do, prohibiting the exercise of
every other right, or rather reserving
them to the States and the people res
pectively. Equally, a State constitution
enumerates specifically what the Legisla
ture may not do, leaving it free to do all
other things not inhibited. Both plans
have been found admirable, having the
sanction of all the courts, and reflect the
profoundest wisdom on the part of the
Fathers of our dual system of government.
The General Government supreme in all
that is national, the State government
equally supreme in all that is local. With
a proper understanding of the relative
powers and spheres of each, there can
never be any conflict of authority, and
there should never have been. But we i
are drifting too far into elementary
things. Every schoolboy should under
stand these common principles of gov
ernment. But we wanted to show that
editor over in the other end of the State
why it was that Senator Stewart could
not get a direct appropriation from the
Federal Treasury to dig ditches in Ne
vada.
Among the things, and none other,
which the constitution says Congress
may do, is to levy war, conclude peace,
regulate commerce, coin money, provide
for the common defense, make needful
rules and regulations regarding the ter
ritories and other property of the United
States, etc., etc. These aro the prin
cipal grants, in conformity with some
one of which^ Congress formulates the
Federal law of the land, and every law
that it enacts, if the same be constitu
tional. There is nothing about gratuities
or ditches, or anything that can be con
staled into a conferring of the power to
vote money for any such purpose, in the
whole range of constitutional precedent.
Every law, and every appropriation of
money is a law, must And warrant in the
constitution. Money is voted to improve
rivers and harbors under the power given
to Congress “to regulate commerce.''
j mb line 13 urawn at navigable rivers.
Nevada's navigable streams being few
and far between, our State "gets left”
in these annual distributions of the pub
lic funds. Navies are built and fortitica
tions erected in pursuance of the "com
mon defense” clause of the constitution.
And so it is with all else that is done by
Congress. To succeed with any measure
you must get within the limitations of
the Federal Constitution.
We have perhaps gone futher with this
elucidation than was necessary to the
average reader. But we are not writing
for the average reader—the S«ntih*i,’s
readers are all above the average. We
are trying, if possible, to reach the un
derstanding of our editorial friend id the
west. Also, we have improved the op
portunity to correct some loose notions
in the miuds of the general public as to
the power of Congress, in view of the
great surplus in the Treasury, to make '
lavish appropriations for all manner of
internal improvements. The idea is sim
ply falacious. The thing cannot be done.
But while all the same, Senator Stewart
cannot get moueyfor irrigation in Nevada,
it is possible to get land, which the State
may in tarn utilize for the same purpose.
The Senator will do well to dig up our
old hill and put it through if he can.
HI.AIM. SHKXMtX. STANFORD—
WHICH t
It is more than probable that the Re
publican nominee for the Presidency will
be taken from the threo names heading
this article. As the situation presents
to-day any of the other mentioned candi
dates are only remote possibilities, too
remote to be seriously considered. Gene
ral Phil Sheridan, Harrison, Allison and
Bob Lincoln are occasionally talked of,
but that about ende it. Neither has any
great following for the Presidency. The
Convention would have to drift into a
a dead lock before either would have the
slightest show of carrying off the prize.
Blaine, of course has the greatest and
most enthusiastic personal following of
any man in the Republican party. But
he has made one race and lost it. This
will cause misgivings in the minds of
many delegates to the National Conven
tion as to whether it will be prudent to
put him forward again; and other aspi
rants to the honor, and their friends, will
push this sentiment of doubt for all that
it is worth. Under these circumstances,
which are sure to arise, it is by no meaDs
certain that Blaine will be renominated
by the convention to assemble at Chicago,
June 10th next. Bat there can be no
question that Blaine will have the power
to decide as between the stronger of his
rivals—not that he can name a black
horse, or a pronounced candidate who
has little or no support, but he may de
termine a choice between the highest in
the roll calls.
It will not do to deny that many, pos
sibly a majority, of the more prominent
leaders and managers in the Republicaa
party are opposed to the renomination of
the Plumed Knight. Some are actuated,
no doubt, by selfish motives, while others
entertain honest doubts about his ability
to carry the great pivotal States of New
York and Indiana. A definite settlement
of tariff and revenue measures, on a con
servative basis, at the present session of
Congress would also weaken his chances
in the convention and before the coun
try. But, as we have indicated above,
he can in all human probability name
the candidate, in the event of his inabil
ity to sweep over all opposition and make
himself for a second time the standard
bearer.
We are not now discussing the prob
able result of the battle of 1SSS between
the two great political parties of the
country. That is quite another question.
We have very firm convictions about
that too, but an expression of them is
not pertinent to the scope and purposes
of this article. At this moment we are
merely considering who the Republicans
are most likely to nominate.
As remarked in the beginning, we be
lieve the name of their nominee appears
in the headline of this article. If not
Blaine, why then John tthernran of Ohio,
or Leland Stanford of California, which,
of the two latter, will depend upon the
inclination of the man from Maine. No
doubt either would give him such recog
nition ae he might desire, in the event of
success before the people, in considera
tion of his support in convention. Blaine
can in any event make himself Secretary
of State in the event of Republican suc
cess in the next election.
But as between Sherman and Stanford
which will he choose? We believe the
latter; simply because the former has
always opposed him in convention, while
the latter has at all times supported him
with both money and all the influence of
the great corporations with which he is
connected. Huntington and Blaine are
known to be the most intimate of friends.
Blaine was in Congress when all the great
grants of lands and money were given to
these men, and the close friendship which
then grew up has been cemented with
the years. Hence we cannot avoid the
conclusion that when the moment arrives
to decide between cold John Sherman
and his warm friend Leland Stanford,
Blaine will cast the die in favor of the
latter. And that the fight in the Na
tional Republican Convention at Chicago
will narrow down to this identical point
is not only possible, but extremely prob
able.
It may not be generally known, but it
is no less a fact, that Governor Stanford
is not averse to becoming a Presidential
candidate should the exigencies of the
case warrant his friends and party call
ing him actively into the race. His
friends assert, that without effort or sol
icitation on hia part, he will go into the
convention with every delegate west of
the Rocky Mountains at his back, and
after that he is expected to make a grand ,
rush and carry off the nomination against
all possible aspirants, except the honor
should go to Blaine, and in the manner
we have described. And this brings us
to the consideration of one other point.
The Pacific Coast is a remote and isol
ated portion of the American Union.
Numerically weak in representation, we
nave never received tor our Coast inter
ests, at the hands of our Eastern breth
ren, and those in charge of the Govern
ment at Washington, such liberal treat
ment as their importance demanded, by
all the rules of fairness and equity. One
administration of the Federal Govern
ment by a Pacific Coast man, no matter
which party, would be immeasurably
beneficial to our local interests.
Governor Stanford might win the nom
nation and the race. We don’t believe
any Republican can perform the latter
[eat, but if lightning is to strike that
party next November, we would rather
it would be struck with a Coast man at
the helm than with a stranger to our
wants. We might not have another
chance for a Presidential candidate from
this CoaBt in twenty years. Devotion to
the Coast, to our homes, should bid us
all promote the present chance rather
than roll boulders in the way of its suc
cess. Not that Democrats are expected
to vote for the Republican nominee for
the Presidency, but as Pacific Coasters
to so bemean themselves in these prelim
inary struggles in the opposite party,
that should the unexpected happen in
next year’s great battle, Coast interests
will not be wholly neglected, but on the
oontrary, strengthened and generally
benetitted. The Democrats of this Coast
onoe had an opportunity to nominate
Judge Field, but through bad manage
ment threw their chance away. The
Coast Republicans will probably do bet
ter with Governor Stanford.

Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Daniel
Manning died at his home in Albany
December 24th. He never fully recov

he received while on duty in Washing

the Democratic party. To him, more than
to any other man was due the nomina

He held the convention as in a vise. As

the Democratic party in New York. He
was a man of kindly nature and gener

What Is .JBeluir .Bone in Ventura
Comity, C'nllforuln.
Santa Paula, Cal., Dec. 21, 1887.
Ed. Sentinel: Two or three years ago
Ventura county was a part of California
little known to the outside world, as
compared with Los Angeles, San Diego
and other booming counties. Since the
Southern Pacific Company extended their
road from Newhall to Santa Barbara,
which was'completed last Summer, a
great change has taken place; real estate
has increased in value; buyers of fruits
have shown more activity; immigration
has been greatly stimulated, and the
county is settling up with a very desir
able class of immigrants who come to
stay. For mammoth pumpkins and
FAT GIRLS
This portion of the Golden State takes
the lead, and why not? The climate is
about the best in the State, and the
county is the best watered of any, barr
ing a few of the central and northern
counties. Yet, as a rule, no irrigation is
done on nine-tenths of the land under
cultivation; the fogs which spread over
the valleys at intervals during the Sum
mer supplying the necessary moisture to
mature the crops. It is nothing unusual
to find a squash weighing from 250 to 300
pounds, cabbages of 50 pounds, beets of
100 pounds, and other fruits and vege
tables in the same proportion. Even the
girls, though not for a moment to be
compared with the rank growth of vege
tation, thrive immensely on the climate
and grow wondrous fat. One daisy of a
creature passes our window every morn
ing on her way to school, which, on the
impulse of the moment, one might ven
ture to assert weighed half a ton. She
don t, though, 220 pounds is her weight;
but she is certainly given to embonpoint
for a 13-year old girl. This allusion to
our fat girl leads us to remark the pre
ponderance of girls over boye in nil parts
of the south. The
WOODS ARE FULL
Of them. They plow and sow, reap and
mow, and do all kinds of manual labor
on the farm—contrary to the generally
accepted ideas held by non-residents that
California girls are prone to affect music,
and spend their days entertaining the
festive young man, by thumping away
on the piano a pot-pourri of simple airs,
which she calls Shubert’s serenade. No
such affectation for the average California
girl, and they have been grossly misrep
resented. Of course there are exceptions
to toe rule. Une rural damsel that we
wot of drives her pa’s hay team to town,
and does a man’s work entirely. Strong,
active, but uncultivated; the youngest of
seven marriageable daughters in one fam
ily, she talks vulgar to the cows, slang
to her “ma,” swears like Julius Cfesar—
not that we have historical authority that
C»sar ever swore, but he is handy to
have around as a comparison—and thinks
she will sometime be a farmer's wife.
At the close of the Mexican war there
was found to be seventeen bona fid*
LAND URANTS
In existence in California. Now the
southern country abounds with them.
There are, perhaps, over 500; mostly
fraudulent, of course, but nevertheless
they deter immigrants in a great measure
from settling, for fear that at some future
time they may be ousted from their pos
sessions; while those who are settled on
such places improve but slowly, conse
quently we find many farms illy cared
for, with rather an indolent sort of farm
ing. Another circumstance which stag
gers the new comer is the fact that land
with a good title is held at too high a
figure to purchase and realize any profit
from. We know of one party who pur
chased several hundred acres at the nom
inal price of $4 an acre four years ago,
and now seeks to sell at from $200 to
$1,000 an acre. This is decidedly too
much for unimproved land, or in fact for
any agricultural land. For cultivation
the laud is not worth the money, except
in very rare and exceptional cases, as in
well-set walnut, almond or orange groves.
Still, sales are made at the prices quoted,
and those who cannot or will not buy at
the prices asked, are casting about for
what little government land there is scat
tered about, and it is being rapidly taken
up all ever this and adjoining counties.
With the influx of Eastern people the
prohibition sentiment grows apace, and
t has been resolved that the

It has been talked over, debated on, and
wrangled over in nearly every town and
Village from San Diego to Santa Barbara,
and to a fellow up a tree, it looks as if
our old friend, John Barleycorn, was in
a very critical position. It is the slogan
that the saloon should and must go, and
the crusaders may carry their point.
What would the average toper across the
lofty Sierras think were he taxed a large
silver dollar for his matutinal appetizer,
or the saloon taxed 91,000 a month to
dispense bug juice of any quality? Yet
that is the case in one town, and others
are trying to do tbe same thing, with a
very good chance of success. Tbe agita
tion will keep up, we are afraid, until it
will bo absolute death to a fellow’s mat
rimonial aspirations to be seen walking
on the saino side of the street where
whisky has ever been sold. Women are
at the bottom of it, and however sad it
may be to part with brother John, we
are afraid the feminine gender will carry
their point, and Mr. Barleycorn be ban
ished from this southern clime.

Tit* VIEWS or-COSURISSBES.
The New York World sont a special
car with twenty experienced reporters to
Washington to interview Congressmen
regarding their viows on the tariff ques
tion. The result of the inquiry, together
with the comments and conclnsions of the
World are given below, from all of which
it would appear that the representatives
of both of the great political parties are
very much mixed on this vital topic.
These are the figures:
In favor of the President’s tariff ideas,
133 Democrats and 7 Republicans; non
committal, 20 Democrats and 20 Repub
licans; opposed to Cleveland's tariff
views, 9 Democrats and 114 Republicans;
for tariff reform only, 60 Democrats and
14 Republicans; for revenue reform only,
14 Democrats and 61 Republicans; for
tariff and revenue reform, 68 Democrats
and 14 Republicans; non-committal on
tariff and revenue reform, 12 Democrats
and 41 Republicans; against any change
in the revenue or tariff, no Democrats
and 21 Republicans.
This shows that unless Congressmen
and Senators change their views, and a
compromise is effected, there will not be
much change made in the tariff laws at
this session of Congress. There are 14
Democrats and 61 Republicans who favor
a change in internal revenue only, and
as they hold the balance of power, no
tariff legislation can be enacted at this
session that does not meet their approval.
It is probable, however, that a compro
mise measure will be passed, which will
roduce or abolish internal revenue taxa
tion on tobacco, and reduce the tariff on
a few articles, as the receipts of the Gov
ernment exceed its expenditures, and the
platforms of both parties in 1SS4 prom
ised to reduce the revenue.
THE NEVADA BANK.
John W. Mackay is to retire from the
Nevada Bank, if Wall street reports may
be relied upon. A Scotch syndicate, it
is stated, has bargained to take the bank,
paying tho market value of all the insti
tution’s assets, and adding $500,000 for
good will.
The above is from a San Francisco pa
per. It may or may not be true. The
rumor, as will be observed, comes via
Wall street. Itr is not to be totally dis
credited on that account, though our
California and Nevada exchanges seem
to take that view of it. Wall street is
generally well posted on large financial
transactions. That famous thoroughfare
“smelt” the big wheat desl before any
of our Coast financiers “got onto it.”
Had Sharon been alive he would have
taken in the whole situation -nj noon.
Sharon was about the shrewdest of Pacific
Coast financiers, and seldom made a mis
take about big operations. J. B. Hagan
also knows a thing or too, but he usually
keeps his knowledge to himself and rarely
comes to the front, or is quoted in the
press.
The trip of James G. Fair to the F.ast
at this particular juncture gives color to
the Wall street rumor. It is surmised
that he has gone on to consummate mat
ters with tho Scotch syndicate. Fair’s
friends say that he is already tired of the
bother and worry incident to tho active
management of the bank. Hence we
conclude that a sale is not the most im
probable thing in the world.'
Coll Deane, one of the most prominent
stock brokers in San Francisco, has given
J. W. Brown $200 for the privilege of
calling upon the latter for 500 shares of
Consolidated California & Virginia stock
in April next at $200 per share. Both
gentlemen are prominent members of the
San Francisco Stock and Exchange Board,
and the Daily Report has the assurance
of each of them that the contract is a
bona fide one.
A Meaaonnble Topic.
In our grandfathers’ days they
marked the flight of time by the
“ Old Farmer’s Almanac." Now, the
omnipresent calendar is a ]>erpetual
reminder of the fleeting seasons. The
days in a year do not outnumber the
sizes, shapes and styles in which it
appears; and alike in the merchant’s
counting-room, or lady’s boudoir, it
seems to have become one of the nec
essities of the utilitarian age in which
we live. The artist’s talent, the en
graver’s cunning, and the printer’s
skill, combine in this connection to
blend the ornament with the useful;
and the result is calendars of every
degree of excellence, good, better and
best. The latter includes the one is

A Hllrli la Ills ronilrnellou or the
Mew Hnll'llng si C'oreou.
We learn from the Carson Index
that there is a hitch in the construc
tion of the Government building at
that place. Superintendent Hyland’s
salary has been suspended, {lending
the resumption of active o{>eration8,
and the whole work seems to have
been clogged almost indefinitely. Pri
marily, the work has hung fire through
the inattention of Nevada's delega
tion at Washington. The business of
the people needs constant attention at
the Capitol. As a rule the men in
charge of bureaus and departments
know absolutely nothing of ciicum
stances and conditions prevailing in
the Far West. They need to be coun
seled and guided to avoid mistakes.
When not so informed and advised
they are as apt to blunder, unintention
ally, as to strike the right course.
We believe we know something
about this Carson building and what
ails it. We ought to, because we suf
fered more anxiety and lost more
sleep over it than all the rest
of the people of the State put
together. We remained at our
post (for Carson) during an all
night session of the House; finally got
the floor on this Carson bill; pressed
it to a vote which was practically
unanimous; a Wisconsin member,
who had a similar bill and was angry
because we had gotten in ahead of
him, raised the point that no quorum
had voted; we put the House under a
call and held it there for three mortal
hours (and they were long hours at
that particular time in the rush and
confusion of the closing of a session)
until the hammer fell, so as not to
lose our right at the beginning of a
succeeding session; we took all the
fast trains from Eureka in the follow
ing December and got there on time
to take care of this “ dear little bill,”
as old Jimmy would call it; Speaker
Carlisle held that we were not en
titled to the floor immediately on the
reconvening of Congress, as the Pres
ident’s message anil other things cut
us off, but that we would have the
first right when the order- of " unfin
ished business ” was reached on that
particular subdivision of the calendar,
some weeks later; we got in at the
right time and pushed the bill through,
the first public building authorized by
Congressduringour four years, though
several others were authorized later
on during the same session. Briefly,
mis is a pari oi me msiory oi me
Carson appropriation, and but a part.
No mention is made of the long tug
before the Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds to secure a favora
ble report. But for Mr. Speaker Carl
isle's partiality for the writer the
building would not have tieen author
ized to this day. This is gos]>el truth.
There is some further history also.
We resisted the blandishments of
lteno. Certain statesmen down there
wanted to undertake to give us every
vote in Washoe county if we would
agree to substitute Reno for Carson in
the bill. Those gentlemen were not
to blame for their zeal for their own
town; rather they are to be com
mended for it. There was nothing
wrong on their part. But we an
swered that Carson, being the capital
of the State, was the proper place for
the Federal building. And so we
stood by Carson. We have always
loved Carson. If Carson had re
turned our fond affection she might
poooibly have been better off to-day,
for we speak with candor and confi
dence when we say that we are fully
satisfied that it would have been
within our power, under certain con
tingencies, to have done some things
for this public building and the mint
which have not been done. But let
that all pass. Wo never bleed nor
lose sleep over things that are beyond
recall. The philosophic view of things
is to turn one’s back on the past. We
are self-satisfied, and that ends it.
The Carson appropriation is for
$100,000. Holman, the great ob
jector and watcli-dog of the Treasury,
wanted us to accept $75,000. We told
the House distinctly that with the in
creased cost of labor and material in
this country, a building worth $75,000
in the East would cost $100,000, or
more here. We told Supervising
Architect Bell, the same thing after
the bill had passed,and urged upon him
the wisdom of constructing the build
ing by days works, instead of con
tracting it to the lowest bidder. We
feared he would not get a bid within
the $100,000 limit. And this is pre
cisely what has happened. Had our
days work suggestion prevailed the
work would have been inaagurated,
and gone on until the appropriation
had become exhausted. We would
then have had the Government
“ stuck,” and the only way out would
havo been to vote more money and
finish the job. This is the usual cus
tom with all of these public buildings.
We wanted a fine building for our
State. Our days work plan would
have secured it. Now, if they reform
the plans and cut the cloth to the
$100,000 appropriation we are apt to
get a shabby afl'air—if we ever get
anything. .
We had Architect Bell pulled
around to our idea in the premises,
and he promised to construct the build
ing in pursuance oi the same. But
Bell went out before anything was
done and a new man came in. We
know nothing about the new fellow.
But we do know that he should have
been looked after, and put on the
right track, in like manner, as wo had
“educated” Bell. And herein was
Nevada’s delegation derelict of duty.
But a man may l)e a very exjjert hod
carrier and know nothing about mak
ing a watch. We commisserate with
Carson, sincerely and profoundly—in
fact 255 times—in her vexation and
worriment over that long delayed and
unconstructed public building. Also
we sympathize with Dick Ryland in
the loss of his salary. " ,
