y National Irrigation,
Prom the Covins (Cal.) Reporter.
The movement to enlist government
aid in "annexing" the arid lands by
constructing canals and reservoirs is
steadily gaining ground. The recla
mation of our arid lands by the gov
ernment would be a form of "Im
perialism" or "expansion" that would
be objectionable to no one save and
except the extreme eastern states.
There is sufficient arid land in the
west, which is now useless and unin
habited, to furnish homes for over
50,000,000 people, and there are mill
ions of people in these United States
who need homes and who want them.
The reclamation of these immense
areas would be "imperialism" on a
grand scale. It would add a great
ness to this government that it can
achieve so peaceably, so cheaply, so
justly and bo gloriously in no other
way. It would dot the wide-extending
desert wastes, now looked upon
by the traveler with dread and with
horror, with prosperous and bappy
homes, orchards, gardens and waving
fields of grain. It would dissipate the
deceptive mirage, and instead of its
alluring glitter the rays of sunlight
would dance lightly upon school
cupola and church steeple like celestial
constellations from a cloudless firma
ment. It would give steady employ
ment to thousands of idle men, and it
would be a living, active and a loving
proof of the paternal care of the gov
ernment for its people and of its solici
tude for their welfare and happiness.
That is an "imperialism" that we can
all advocate, that we can all work for,
that we can all fight for and that we
can all pray for.

Irrlga-
As the Devil Would Do.
The editor of the Atchison Champion
concluded he would have his paper run
for a week as the devil would run it
and wrote to prominent men over the
state for their opinions as to how they
thought bis batanie Majesty would
handle the job. Among those who an
swered was ex-Governor John P. St.
John, who said :
"I have received yonrs of the 20th
uH. asking me to give my opinion as
to "How the Devil Would Ran a
Paper,' and in reply thereto I desire
firstto congratulate you on your ex
cellent judgment in selecting me to an
swer that question, for my familiarity
with bis Satanic Majesty enables me
to impart to yon a lot of information
that the ordinary pious man knows
but little about.
"The first thing the devil would do
would be to write a salutatory. He
would give it an intensely religious.
tone. He would scout for Old blory,
and scream for liberty, and pitch into
the Mormons, but would not say a
word about the thousands of slaves,
and nur government's salaried sultan
an his 17 wives under the protection of
the American flag on the island of
Sulu. He would openly favor bimetal
lism and secretly work to put the gov
ernment on the single gold standard.
He would talk long and loud about the
people's money,' but place them at the
mercy of the national banks to get it.
He would declare that the Cubans
'were and of right ought to be free,'
and then refuse them their freedom.
He would denounce fraud, and then
send word to ca oners of rotten beef to
clean up and get ready to be white
washed. De would stand quietly by,
and without even a protest, see the
organized trusts rob the people of
hundreds of millions annually, and call
it prosperity. He would advocate the
levying of a high tariff tax on the poor
man's food and clothing and tell him
it was protection. He would be as
quiet as a graveyard while we were
burning negroes at the stake and
punching their eyes with redhot irons,
here in our own country, but would
make bis columns speak in thunderous
tones in favor of sending our soldiers
8,000 miles from home to shoot our
civilization and Milwaukee beer into
the Filipinos. In a desperate frenzied
effort of a powerful monarchy which
has been a' robber and oppressor of
weak nations, to crush by brute force
a brave people of South Africa who
are struggling as our forefathers
struggled four generations ago for the
right of self-government the devil
would be on the side of the monarchy,
and gloat over the downfall of the re
public. He would take his position in
his newspaper that by the providence
of God Puerto Rico was the property
of tke United States, and that her peo
ple were our people, and by this same
divine providence, and by the cry of
'benevolent assimilation,' and to im
press upon the Puerto Ricans the
lesson that 'whom the Lord lovetu he
chasteneth,' be would put a 15 per
cent tariff on the product of their labor.
He would indulge in long prayers for
temperance,, and editorially wink at
the Klondike jointists to close up dur

The Commereial Club of St. Paul,
Minn., comprising the leading mer
chants of that city, lias passed ringing
resolutions regarding the irrigation of
the arid lands. The resolutions recite
that there are 100,000,000 acres of our
domain that is subject to reclamation
by irrigation ; that the eastern half of
our' country contains a population of
58,228,000 and the western half 4,404,
000, and if the arid lands were re
claimed the western half would sus
tain as many people as the eastern
half; that the domain belongs to the
whole people and its reclamation
would be beneficial to the whole coun
try, and that its reclamation can only
be accomplished by the construction of
canals and reservoirs entirely be
yond the scope of private capital or
the resources of the States, and Terri
tories where such arid lands are situ
ated ; that such reclamation, therefore,
falls under the domain of the general
government; that all of these lands be
held in trust and reserved for tbe- peat
pie and that no grants of title to any
of the States be made, nor to any one
except actual setters; favors storage
reservoirs to save flood waters, and
their construction by the government ;

Never Admit Dofeal.
From Success.
Never admit defeat or poverty
though you seem, to.be djow.aand.have
not a cent. Stoutly-assert yonr divine
right to be a man, to hold your bead
up and look the world in the faee;
step bravely to the front,, whatever
opposes, and the world, will mak,e way
for you. No one w.ill insist upon your
rights while- yon yourself doubt that
you possess the. qualities requisite for
success. Never allow yourself to be a
traitor to your own cause y under
mining your self-confidence. There
never was a time, before when persis
tent, original force was so, much in de
mand, as. now. The namby-pamby,
nerveless, man has little show in the
hustling world to-day. In. the twen
tieth century a man must either push
or be pushed. Everyone admires the
man who can assent hja.righ.ts, and to
take them if denied him, No one can
respect the man who sinks in the rear
and apologizes for being in tbe world.
Negative virtues. ar.e. of no nse in win
ning one's way. 16 ia the positive
man,, the man with original energy
and push that forges to the front.

Meteors Pnefer- Morning.
An interesting and significant fact is
that the average hourly number of me
teors is only half as great in the even
big as in the morning and in the even
ing their velocity is lower. The reasow
is that at sunset we have before us the
point in the heavens from which we are
ttioving in our orbital journey around
the sun, while the morning we face the
point toward which we are advancing:
in the evening we are in the rear'of the
earth, at sunrise in front. This in
crease m the numbers and speed of the
morning meteors is just-What ought to
happen if they are bodies moving indis
criminately in all directions under the
sun's attraction,, and with the velocity
(about 20 miles a second) which a body
would acquire in falling toward the sun
from a distance very great as compared1
witb the size of our planetary orbits..

From tbe Coconino Sun.
There is a man in the Ynma peniten
tiary serving a sentence of two years
and six months for burglary, who
thinks, his confinement is just. But it
is not. He had as equal a chance of
being innocent as guilty, and but for
the perfidy of a supposed friend he
might now be a free rnan. According
to the officials of tle sheriffs o5ce the
two men arrested for the robbery of J.
W. Power's house, after being confined
in the county jail, put their heads to
gether to form a plan of defense. As
a result of their delibej-fttioDs, one was
to plead guilty and take, all tho blame
while the other was to rely on that act
to gain his freedom. But who w.as to
plead guilty? It was. at last decided
that the question should be settled by
a game of cards and that the loser
should be the one to confess. All tbe
prisoners in the jail knew of the novel
contest and gathered around the prin
cipals, offering advice aa to tha best
methods of play ; but the Judaa of the
crowd had arranged a series of signals
and by their use he quietly "tipped
the hand"-of the man w ha was. sup.
posed to be his friend. The loses,
true to his promise, carried out his end-,
of tbe programme and the line of
defense proved successful for his oppo
nent. If the prisoner in Yuma, e,ver
finds out th.at he, via, jibbed"' he has
tha. satisfaction of knowing that he is
a "dead game sport."

An Irrigating Plant.
From the Phoenix Gaxette. .
George. U. Collins is preparing an
irrigating plant on his property, south
west of tow,n, that will materially aid
in solving the water problem for that
section of the valley. A ten-inch
Woods pump, with, a sixty-horse pow
er engine, boiler and all other require
ments to run the pump have been pur
chased. The elevating capacity of the
plant will not be less than three hun
dred inches of: water. The water at
the point were- the works are to be
erected is within ten feet of the sur
face. A huge well sixty 'by one hun
dred feet square is being excavated
with teams and scrapers, in which to
place the pump and raise the desired'
flow of irrigation, watery This enter
prise will' be viewed with considerable
interest by the farmers of tha valley,
as its success will be of great value to
every one interested in this commu
nity. .
