THE fittest botuls will doubtless

A BILL has been iutrodacei by
Representative Lamborn to establish -
lish the state lair Ierinallently at
Lincoln.
SOME reports that come up from
Liuccln respecting the present legislature -
islature would indicate that that
body needs a liberal appropriation
itself-of brood horse sense.
RED WIr.Low county will depend -
pend upon private purse and public -
lic benevolence for her seed and
feed. It's at least cheaper than
bonding. It's wisdom remains to
be demonstrated.
PAusoN PAIutIU1tsT has given
the hatter a little thought , and
eludes : "I consider the club to be
one of the cleverest devices of the
devil to prevent hozIes being made ;
and to sterilize and undermine
them when made. "
TILE proposition to vote bonds
in Red 1Villow county received a
black eye dull ti complete knock-out
in the first round. The petition
lacked two names of the legal requirements -
quirements , and of course the elec.
tilot t could utt be called. And it
may be truthfully stated , too , that
the failure is by no means largely
regretted. '
SPEAKING of an asinine scheme
recently exploited by some irria
tion enthusiasts for doing away
with disputes over the ownership
of water in inter-state streams , the
Lincoln Journal wisely concludes
that "There is a great future for
irrigation all over the west , and
especially in western Nebraska and
Kansas ; but it must be developed
slowly and surely f we are to secure -
cure prosperity from it. "
SENATOR ALLEN , from the committee -
mittee on reservations , has presented -
ted an amendment to be proposed ,
appropriating $25,000 for gauging
streams and determining the water
supply of the United States , iuclu-
1 . ding the investigation of under-
round currants and artesian wells
it + ) and and semi-arid sections. The
I , amendment is recommended by the
! geological survey. The committee
on agriculture favorably reports
Senator Kyle's bill providing for
the sinking of artesian wells in the
I
I arid districts of Nebraska , Kansas
and South Dakota , and appropriating -
ting $500,000 for this week.
A CORRESPONDENT at San Diego
writes the Bee to warn our people
' against any law that would enable
capitalists to build up and main-
tam n a monopoly of water supply.
There are bills now before the
I
legislature which contemplate just
such a water monopoly as that now
I
+ existing in certain portions of Cal-
I
' ifornia. A p' trop the Bee at Ger-
ing , Scotts Bluff county , recently
sounded the same noteof warning.
It may be accepted as an unalterable -
able fact that the state , the county
or the city government must control -
trol all canals or irrigating ditches ,
else the interests of the people can
not be protected. Monopoly in
any natural resource or supply is
repugnant to all men and must not
be Permitted in Nebraska.-Bee.

l
THE present outlook of irrigation
in Nebraska will not warrant the
expense to the state of the elaborate -
ate system mapped out by the re-
quiremeuts of the Akers' bill. So
far as southwestern Nebraska is
concerned ; we are clearly more interested -
terested in the development of the
existence of water for irrigation
purposes , from artesian or other
sufficient sources , than we are in
c
the providing of soft and useless
berths for a few po itical hacks.
Nebraska is not ready for such a
system as the Akers' bill contem-
plates. Better simply make an
appropriation to experiment along
the line of developing the artesian
flow , if it exists or not , than to provide -
vide a number of costly supernumeraries -
meraries to portion the waters of
inconsiderable streams which run
dry at the time most needed. The
present bill should be put to sleep.
Irrigation needs developing first ,
and that development in the very
nature of the case aNd circumstances -
ces must be slow to be profitable
and permanent. Let us develop
the water first.
THE TRIBUNE hopes the present
legislature may decide to make the
appropriation asked for to investigate -
gate the existence of artesian water
in western Nebraska. The success
of irrigation in a liberal sense depends -
pends largely on the bringing to
the surface of the artesian flow.
PROSPECT PARK.
Quite like spring , this week.
Kate Duffey spent Sunday with
her parents.
Mrs. Anderson has been quite
sick , but is better now.
Sabbath school was not very well
attended , last Sunday , on account
of the.high wind.
A letter from Jacob Pickrellwho ,
is visiting i ! Johnson countystates
that he will be home about the
middle of March , or sooner if the
weather is favorable.
There seems to be quite an opposition -
position to the county bond proposition -
sition by those who pay' but very
little tax-if any. One thing is
sure : not many farmers can put in
a crop , if help of some kind is not
had ; and in our humble opinion it
would be a great deal more honorable -
able to bond the county and buy
and pay for our feed and seed than
to beg it. As we understand the
bill that has become a law , it would
be the most satisfactory way that
feed and seed can be procured.
