PLANS FOR IRRIGATIOH.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 14. [ Special ]
Senator Paddock again visited the agri
cultural department this morning and
urged upon the secretary of agriculture
immediate action in reference to the
experiments in western Nebraska in the
sinking of wells for irrigation purposes.
The secretary promised to take immedi
ate steps for the commencement of in
vestigations , with the view of securing
some practical results in this direction
at the earliest possible day. He thinks
he will be able to have the preliminary
examination commence during the com
ing week.
A statement was read by the senator
from Mr. J. W. Hopkins of Winchester ,
Chase county , supplimentary to an ap
plication recently received upon the same
subject , both of which were received by
the secretary and greatly impressed him.
The whole plan of operations , embracing
theDakotas , western Nebraska and Kan
sas , is substantially determined and pre
parations for commencing operations in
each of these states will be immediately
perfected.

THE GOSPEL OF TEMPERANCE
According to St. John of Kansas.
A Masterly and Eloquent Flea
for the Amendment.
The magnificent outpouring of the
people to hear Ex.-Gov St. John ,
Wednesday evening , was in the nature
of an ovation to that vigorous old vet-
e'ran in the temperance cause. The
opera hall was filled to its utmost
capacity and scores were unable to
secure admission , much less seats or
standing room. Delegations from In-
dianohi , Bciikelman , Stratlon , Culbert-
son and other neighboring towns aug
mented the throng ; and for over two
hours the great prohibitionist held the
wrapt attention of the finest audience
ever assembled in the Menard.
Reviewing briefly the slavery ques
tion and its solution , the speaker soon
launched out with irresistible vigor and
logic and facts upon that ten-fold great
er bondage the liquor traffic. Then
followed the most profoundly logical ,
able and convincing presentation of the
prohibition question in all its phases
ever delivered in Western Nebraska ;
and THE TRIBUNE believes that it has
strict regard tor the truth when it adds
that votes were made for the amend
ment thereby.
The puny arguments of the opposi
tion were punctured with consummate
skill , and a few ot their knight-errants
came in for a measure of attention which
the audience keenly appreciated.
The Governor close'd with an appeal
to the voters for support of the pro
hibitory amendment , which was full of
pathos and tender anecdote , address
ing the young men particularly , the
effect of which many a glistening eye
attested.
FAIRY GROTTO.
A charming bit of music , dancingand
costumery blended is "Fairy Grotto" to
be sure , and delightfully rendered with
al. THE TRIBUNE takes more than a
lively local pride in reporting the splen
did success of the performance of that
bright operetta at the Menard , iastnight.
While the music was sprightly , the cos
tumes pretty , the singing and declama
tion praiseworthy , at times the heights
of artistic merit were reached. And it
was all attractive and enjoyable , the ap
plause being frequent and warm from
the enthusiastic audience that filled the
hall to its utmost capacity.
Space is lacking to give the extend
ed notice deserved ; and yet any men
tion would be insufficient without spec
ial reference to the fairy queen , Miss
Ellington Wilson ; the floral queen , Miss
Anna Heard ; Puck , the fairy queen's
sprite , Master Walter Shaw ; and to Miss
Florence Lanham and Master Roy Smith.
To the manner in which their several
parts were rendered is largely due the
excellence of the entertainment. And
finally Mrs. C. M. Wilson and Mrs.
Frank Brown are to be heartily congrat
ulated upon the success which has
crowned their painstaking efforts in the
preparation of the operetta.
GRAND REPUBLICAN RALLY.
There will be a grand Republican ral
ly in Menard's hall in McCook , in the
evening of Saturday , October 25th at
7:30 o'clock , central time. Judge 0.
P. Mason , and Hon.L. D.Richards , our
next Governor , and Hon. T. J. Majors ,
our next Lieut. Governor , will address
the meeting. As the Hon. W. A. Mc-
Keighan and other Democratic and In
dependent speakers will be in McCook
in the afternoon they will be granted a
division of time at this evening meeting
and are cordially invited to participate
in the debates. The Republican speak
ers will be in McCook in the afternoon
and will not decline an invitation to de
bate the issues at the Democratic and
Independent meeting.
Owing to Short Crops.
The board of educational lands and
funds met , Monday , and adopted the
following as a relief measure for west
ern farmers whose crops failed them the
past year :
"WHEBEAS , There are at present a great
number of leases delinquent in payment of
semi-annual interest , and
WHEREAS , It would be a hardship to force
the payment at tiiis time , therefore be it
RESOLVED , That the commissioner of
public lands and buildings be and is hereby
instructed to delay the preparation of the list
for the forfeiture of all delinquent school
land leases until the further order of this
board. "
For the Amendment.
On Thursday evening next at the
Pickens school house in Talley Grange
precinct , Rev. Mather of the Methodist
church will speak for the prohibitory
amendment , at the hour of 7:30. : The
reverend gentleman will deliver an ad
dress worthy a large audience , and the
temperance friends of Talley Grange
should turn out en masse.

TAKING FIRMER HOLD.
The irrigation idea is taking firmer
hold on the public mind as the feasi
bility and utility of it is made known.
Many are thoroughly alive to its desira
bility and importance and are anxious
to see a move made , even though it be
experimental in character. The gener
al government's aid has been invoked
and an appropriation has been made for
the purpose of sinking experimental
artesian wells in Western Nebraska.
As the number of wells to be sunk and
the locations for the same are not yet
determined , the efforts being made by
our citizens to have one of the experi
mental wells put down in this vicinity
are timely , and it is to be fondly hoped
that they will be successful. There are
many good and sufficient reasons why
McCook should be selected as one of
the places and these will doubtless be
urged with the usual vigor and eloquence.
Enterprising citizens in various parts
of Western Nebraska have already or
ganized companies , and the waters of
the numerous streams will be utilized
the coming season for irrigating pur
poses. And it is safe to prophecy that
in a few years every inch of running
water in this section will be in demand"
There are , however , large bodies of land
which cannutbe reached by the streams ,
because of situation , and limited supply
as > vell. And the holders of such lands
and they are the major portion
will look forward to the result of the
experiments projected by the govern
ment in searching for artesian water
with the greafest interest. If , happily ,
it shall be demonstrated that artesian
waters can be secured in sufficient vol
ume , the'beneficent results to this baili
wick will be of the nfost encouraging
character the prospect will be most
entrancing. Speed the good work.

LETTER FffOM COL. T.E.McCRACKEN
EDITOR TJHBUNE
The dyspepsia clings to mo with such a
tenacious grip , that 1 have neither life nor
ambition enough left to write mi occasional
letter for TIIK TUIUUNE. But the republi
cans in the 51st Congress did so much effect
ual work under such exasperating diflicult-
ies that I want to make honorable mention
of the same. No one except a looker-on can
fully understand or appreciate the methods
adopted by the democrats who pose as the
great constitutional party to impede , hinder ,
and block up every channel possible looking
to important legislation ; hence they have re
ceived and merit the appellation of obstruc
tionists. Mills o ? Texas , one of the great
apostles of modern democracy , declared just
before this Congress convened that no legis
lation by the republicans could or should be
passed to a law except by the will and graceof
the minority. Notwithstanding this asser
tion and the persistent effort to put it in prac
tice , the republicans and the country have
every icason to be proud of the record which
has been made by the- republican members
of the congress which recently closed its first
session. It has been a fruitful and eventful
session and the record of work performed or
well advanced is proof of the fact that the
long session lias been well employed in spite
of the prodigious waste of time caused by
iilibuslerers in the House and interm iimble
talkers in the Senate.
In order for the majority to do business , it
was necessary in the beginning to change the
rules and this was an impoi taut achievement.
The struggle over tins issue extended into
February and was continued in various forms
all through the sessions whenever the minor
ity saw its opportunity ; but it is worth all
the time and trouble it cost and even the bad
blood and outrageous abuse of which it was
the occasion. Without this initial triumph
the session would have been a comparative
failure , being subject to such measures as
could pass by unanimous consent or by giace
of the democratic minority.
The victory of the republicans under the
inspiration and leadership of Speaker Reed
and followed up so vigorously and success
fully in its administration is a victory for all
time and makes the House of Representatives
once more a business body with : i power uni
ted to responsibility. Had the example been
followed by the Senate and a check allowed
for the now unlimited debate in that body ,
the record of work accomplished as satisfac
tory as it is , would have been considerably
greater. When the Senate again convenes it
will be likely to amend its rules , the demand
in that body for something like the previous
question was never so strong as it is now.
Either the tariff or the silver bill alone would
have been a pretty fair work for one session ,
but the amount of other legislation accom
plished has been unusually large notwith
standing the determined efforts , , of the ob
structionists. Democratic papers and demo
cratic stump speakers are complaining of the
large appropriations for public buildings and
the extravagant i-.se of the people's money ;
but as a matter of fact , the appropriations
for public buildings amounted to § 3,000,000
less at the recent session of congress than at
the last session of the Democratic House.
The amendment to cover into the Tieasury
the § 55,000,000 fund for the redemption of
bank notes was supported by nearly all the
democrats in congress. As the Secretary of
the Treasury has spent nearly twice that
amount in buying bonds , it is evident that the
democratic charge that this fund was cover
ed into the Treasury to avoid a deficiency-
is ridiculous. Secretary Windom has paid
out § 240,000,000 in buying bonds not yet due
and issued a call for more ; and yet the demo
crats talk of bankruptcy , of a bankrupt treas
ury ! This republican congress had to ap.
propriate § 31,000,000 to make up deficiencies
created by the Democratic House. When
these are taken out and the appropriations
for disabled veterans which a democratic
congress , although in power since ' 82 , have
failed to make and for the increase of the
navy and for fortifications , the aggregate of
the appropriations are actually less than
when the democrats controlled the House.
And yet democratic orators are howling ex
travagance.
The Federal elections law , that passed the
lower House and should have passed the
Senate and now been the law of the land ,
was desperately fought by the obstructionists ,
and for what reasons ? They say it will be
impolitic , renew and bring again a war of
races in the South. Suppose it does bring on
a race war , will that be anything new in that
section if the darkey alterants to vote the re
publican ticket ? I say that such a law as
the Lodge bill that passed the house is not
only politic but absolutely necessary for these
reasons : The men who were in the saddle
from 1861 to 1865 hold all the reins of politi
cal power down South now , and they will
not relinquish their hold until compelled to.
In many places in the South the colored men
are not permitted to vote , and many places
where they are , the vote is not counted unless
it be cast for a democrat. Northern white
citizens living south are told that no objec
tions will be made as to their choice for presi
dential candidates but they should support
the state and county tickets democratic of
course thereby assuming a full list of demo
cratic congressmen.
There is no such thing as love of country
or the old flag in that section. State rights
and adoration forJeff Davis , intense hatred
for yankees , and abuse of all who are not
democrats is their political stock in trade.
When the Federal elections bill ispassedand
becomes the law , as it will , and goes into
practical operation it will be the entering
wedge to split the solid political South and
enable men regardless of color to exercise
their pelitical rights and be a blessing to all
parties. The Second district of Nebraska is
now represented by a faithful pains-taking
servant , one that is influential in his commit
tees where all legislative work is mapped
out and who is always in his seat , keeping
run of business and ready to answer to roll
call. Let the Republicans of this district see
to it that no disgrace is brought to them , but
that a Republican good and true is returned
to the 52d Congress.
