An Idaho paper says that in the
southern part ot that state corporations
are cornorlug vnlnnblo water right ? ,
and that it is beginning to occur to the
farmers that this must ultimately
operate to their disadvantage. The
pnpor cxTirosaos the opinion that their
fears are well founded and that It Is
not conducive to the best interest of the
ngrleulturarreglons of the stale to have
the water which Is essential to the land
controlled by speculators.
What Is taking place In Idaho la
doubtless going on in other slates where
Irrigation will bo necessary to the de
velopment of agriculture ) . Men zealous
in promoting tlio cnuso of irrigation are
at the same time engaged as members
of corporations in securing control of
valuable water rights which will
eventually , If their expectations are
realized , become the source of largo
revenue , paying a generous return upon
the capital invested. In his last annual
report the fcecrotary of the interior said
that private corporations and asso
ciations are now substantially given
the flold of the water supply for
the vast domain that may bo re
deemed by Irrigation , and that this
flold la bolng rapidly seized upon.
It is ono thing , said the secretary , for
the'Individual to own his claim on which
ho resides ; it is qulto another tor him
to bo a member in n largo association ,
or stockholder In a corporation controll
ing the water nocassary for the cultiva
tion of his claim. Existing legislation
does not retain to the United States any
control and but weakly nnd insulllciontly
establishes the authority ot the states or
territories. The control of the water Is
handed over to corporations or associa
tions. "Thoso individual associations , "
said the secretary of the interior , "will
bo driven to Incorporation by the neces
sity there will bo to avoid the frequent
changes of ownership and other diffi
culties arising from death or assign
ments of Interests , and the owners of the
water and the owners of the farms maybe
bo expected to soon become distinct
bodies , with almost opposite interests. "
It Is evident that this is getting to bo
the condition of affairs In Idaho and
in all probability elsewhere.
Under the reservation of authority ex
pressed in the act ot congress of March ,
IS'll , the states or territories nriy oxor-
cbo borne control of the water compui-
ies and protect their clti/ons from op
pression , but as the secretary ot the in
terior suggested the United States
government , from whom those vastly
important and far-roaching privileges
emanate , should not release altogether
its hold upon the water supply anil Its
ultimate distribution. In order that
monopolies and speculators shall not
become too strongly intrenched in the
control of the water supply in the state ?
and territories needful of irrigation
there should bo as little delay as pos
sible in providing required legislation.
.IV IMPOVKlllSlIKD
Senator Carlisle is reported to bavo
i omarkod recently that outside of Mr.
Cleveland the democratic : p.irty had no
available presidential timber , and also
that it is the first timj in muiy years
that the democracy finds itself confined
within a very limited circle in the selec
tion of a candidate. A little reflection
upon the political history of the last
quarter of a century would nave sug
gested to the Kentucky senator tlnvt the
democratic party has been as poor as it
is now in available candidates for the
presidency in nearly every presidential
year since the war.
In 1808 the party was practically non-
ffnod to the choice of ono man , Horatio
Seymour. There were other men of a
little higher rank than moit of the can
didates of today , but all of them wore
lacking in availability for ono reason or
another and Seymour was selected as
best representing the temper and spirit
of the democracy of that timo. Four
years later the party was in a still moro
Impoverished condition , and having no
man doomed to bo available undo Horace
ace Greoloy its candidate Before the
presidential year of 1870 came round
Samuel J. Tildon , as govornorof Now
York , had acquired national reputation
by his efforts in overthrowing the Tweed
ring and thus became an available can
didate for the presidency and the only
ono of that yoar. Ho continued to lig-
uro in that relation down to 1880 , when
it was found that his infirmities pre
cluded his nomination , and the p'vrty ,
after much casting about fo.1 an avail
able candidate , solocto.l Gjiiorul II in-
cock us its candidate In the hopa that
his brilliant military record would off
set h's want of cxporionco .vnd knowl-
otlgo in civil affairs. The phenomenal
majority received by "Mr. Cleveland
when elected governor of Now Yarl <
made him the only available candidate
of the dwnocr.ioy for the presidency in
1881 , and there was no ono to dispute
his claim four yours lator. Mr. Carlisle
may be correct in the opinion that ho Is
still the most available man the demo
crats could nominate , but it is evident
that he would not bo permitted to carry
New York , mm without that state the
democracy cannot win the battle of 181)12. )
It Is unquestionable that the demo
cratic pirty is very poor In available
presidential timber , but the circle with
in which it may select a candidate IB
hardly moro limited than it has boon In
any presidential yiur during i1. quarter
of a contury. The truth of the matter
Is that in all these years the democratic
party has baon at war with every form
of progress and out of sympathy with
the aspirations of the Amorlu.in people ,
and hence It ha < > not davolopod leadort-
who wore at the bamo time statesmen.
It looks now us if the parly is about tc
puns ontli ely into tlio control pf such
unscrupulous and balf-sooklug politic
ians ai Hill and Gorman.
lilXTKKXTII STllKKT VI.WUCT ,
The railway companies diovo a
shrewd bargain when they paid their
proportion ot the cot of the Sixteenth
street viaduct , we must adipit , but that
bargain does not prevent the city from
compelling the companies to construct
an entirely now viaduct upon Sixteenth
street.
Section 48 of the charter reads as fol
lows : The mayor and council shall have
power to compel nuy railway company
or companies owning or operating any
railway track or trucks upon or acrosi
any public street or btreots of the clt }
to erect , construct , reconstruct , com
plete nnd keep in repair any viaduct or
viaducts upon or along such street or
streets , and over or under such track or
tracks , Including the approaches to such
viaduct or vlalucls. as may bj doomed
and declared by the mayor and council
a ? necessary for the sifety and protec
tion of the public , provided that the
approaches of any such viaduct which
any rr.iltoad company or companies may
Ijo required to construct , reconstruct
and kcop In repair shall not exceed for
each viaduct a total distance of 800 foot ,
* * . * * The width , height and
strength of any such viaduct and the approaches
preaches thereto , the material thorofor
nnd the manner ot the construction
thereof shall be as required by the
Board ot Public Works , as mav bo ap
proved by the mayor and council.
These provisions nro very specific.
They Icavo no loophole by which the
railroad companies may evade the man
date ot tha mayor and council to con
struct or reconstruct any viaduct they
may deem necessary for the public con
venience and safety. Whatever con
tracts have boon made by former councils
as regards the present wooden bridge on
Sixteenth street , the charter for metro
politan cities clearly establishes the
right of the present council to order anew
now viaduct that will moot with the
demands of the Increased tralllc and will
afford safe passage for all vehicles and
street railway trains.
Tun Bin : has never had any difficulty
in mttking itiolt clearly understood on
any and every issue which It has boon
called on to discuss. There are mind-
readers who can even toll how Till : HRH
fools on any question and what it intends
to say before Tin : BKI : has said any
thing. It is exceedingly amusing , however -
over , to note how poisons gifted with
second sight do on occasions shoot wide
of otvcli other's mark. On Sunday morn-
intr the Lincoln Herald [ ox-confod-dotno-
crat ] announced :
Tin : OMUI.V Bnr.is frantically hammering
at Governor Hovd with tlio apparent pur
pose of forcing him to call nn extra session.
It orotonds to ehlofly wnnt mltnnd regula
tion. It always wants railroad regulation
whoa the lei ishuuro is not la session.
On Monday morning the Omaha World-
llcruld [ indopondont-hippodroino-domo-
crat ] , evolved the following startling
piece of news :
The Daatrlco Kxpie s and ether republican
stntc papora oppose an extra session. The
man who above all ethers droatls an extra
session is EJitor Iloowatcr of Tun But : , nnd
his recent attacks on IJoyil are duo to the
lattor's refusal to ploJgo Ilosuwator that
there would not bo au extra session.
In view of the fact that THK Bni : has ,
up to date , said nothing either , for or
against the proposed extra soosion , the
Omaha and Lincoln "mediums" are
making themselves supremely ridicu
lous.
Tin : announcement of the intended
resignation of Mr. Whitolaw Reid , the
American minister to Frauffo , will bo re
ceived with regret by these who are
familiar with his valuable services
abroad. Ho has labored with intelli
gence and zeal to promote American in
terests in Franco and has boon signally
successful , though owing to the minis
terial crisis in that country he may have
to leave his work uncompleted. Such
valuable concessions as ho baa obtained
will , however , stand , * regardless of cabi
net changes , and contemplated arrange
ments ot a commercial character are
doubtless in such shape that his sueoos-
t.or will have littlo-dillioulty in bringing
them to a satisfactory conc.usion. Few
men in to brief a diplomatic experience
have made so creditable a record , and
Mr. Reid will return homo with an increased -
creased claim to the hearty respect of
Ills fellow citizens.
CONOitnss ought not to delay in pro
viding the appropriation nnccssary to
carry out the act for the protection of
the lives of the miners in territories.
This act was passed by the Fifty-first
congress , but so Into in the session that
no appropriation was made to carry it
into effect. It provides for public in
spection and supervision of mining in
the interest of the protection of the
minors. The president has by special
irioisugo called the attention of congress
to the omission of an appropriation and
urged that the money necessary to meet
the salaries and necessary expenses of
inspectors bo provided. The duty to do
this is so obvious that there can bo no
excuse for delay in making the required
appropriation.
TUK ladies of Omaha have done a
good deal toward encouraging homo in
dustry. In all lines of household goods ,
where the ladles control the purchases ,
business has improved immensely ainco
the beginning of the agitation for homo
patronage. Between -00 and 300 addi
tional men are now employed as n direct
result of the enthusiasm with which
Omaha housekeepers have rallied to the
support of Omaha industries. A reform
never amounts to much which does not
enlist female sympathy. The homo
patromigo movement has the sincere ,
earnest , substantial aid of Omaha ladies
and therefore has succeeded.

scenery , la summer time superb , clad In
winter garb U wealthy with now nndstrango
glorios. The mountains nro now what wo
fondly pictutod thorn In youth , mid whenever
over the tenderfoot period hail our Ideals
rudely effaced by finding thorn not only not
Inncccsslblo to man , but presenting easy
pathways by which the Iron horse "tho
great clvlllrer" mav climb over the most
majestic and tunsslvo of the snow-crowned
moimrchs nnd carry the commerce of the
world in his train. The Sherman hill , once
a holy terror to travelers , because at this
season of the year trains were HKoly to stick
In a snow bunk nnd remain there for three
weeks , has lost Us prcstluo. There are few
delays now In that district of the Wyoming
division ; in fact , the division itself Is oper
ated so clorony that it has pnssoil Into A

Dropping down from Sherman , threading
our way through Titanic masses of granlto
roc.k , drifting in midair ncross the torrlblo
chasm spanned by Ualo crook bridge , all the
time in sight of towering peaks , and \\on-
drously beautiful vallovs , both mountain and
vale changing with every rurvo that is made
until It Is like crazing through the kaleido
scope of the Almighty , thu triiln suddenly
dashes out upon the Laratnlo plains , ono of
'
the grandest' richest and most highly favor
oJ sections iu ull the west. "Tho Plains"
nro raoro rolling than the prairies of Ne
braska. They siretch away from Diamond
Peak , near the Colorado litio , northwest
ward across the stato. until their domain
Is disputed bv the flig Horn and Wind rlvor
chains , sentinels whoso foot nro so t Irmly
planted in the rock thut the most violent
earthquake could not send a quiver through
their frames , and whoso heads nro so tar
above the clouds that they nro never touched
by cloud or storm , but bathed perpetually in
the light of the sun , the moon or the stars
that march across the sky- nightly In splendid
array. Ttio reulon is perlmps 300 miles in

It was apparently at ono time the bed of n
vast inland sea , whoso shores have loncslnco
been transformed into mountains that now
shelter the en tire basin on every side nnd
from whoso snowclad summits como the
sparkling rivers that make it possiolo for
man to live hero aud enjoy all the comforts of
life. Besides the Bit ; and Little Lnramio
rivers and their tributaries threading the
plains in every direction , tire lakes of all
sizes , and on the banks of all those bodies
of water are ranches whcro the agri
cultural possibilities huvo proven as limitless
as those iu the department of mining ur slock
raising.
Irrigation ditches us long , ns wldo nnd ns
deep as the Erie canal and coating fabulous
sums of money , have been constructedbring-
Intr hundreds of thousands of ucros under
water , offering to tha colonist who is looking
for a homo and is willing to reclaim it from
"tho desert" the richest farming land iu the
world , tbo water-Hunt free , and absolute
Immunity from thodroutb.llood or destructive
insects against which the farmer at a lower
elevation has to contend.
A Frozen Ocean.
Iho Black Hills on the cast nnd the Medicine -
cine Bow range on the west present just
now , in connection with thonuovo mentioned
plains and rivers , a landscape that is marvelously -
ously beautiful. The snow that has fallen at ,
short intervals ever since early October
has given to the basin of Iho
pro-Adamito soi ; the uppcarauco of nn ocean
frozen over during a calm ; its billows
snatched forever from the power of the pill
loss storm , and at the moment when the
gcntlo swell loft all their graceful outlines
perpetuated for future generations to gaxo
upon.
On the margin of this marble imaco
carved by nature , the bills that shelter tbo
whole stretch of country from tlio storms of
winter and- summer alike ] rise abruptly.
From tbsir barren flanks the wind has
whipped away every vestige of while , but
above this a snowy wave envelops their
hugo formsand , covering their rugged crests
elision In thut sunlight with the satiny
&bscn of un angel's shoulder. The ice-bound
rivers , on which rest two feet of crystal
surface , every inch as "flear and pure us the
bosom of a star1 , stretch like two silver
chains across the entire length of jtho plains.
Those , with the lakes , viewed from tbo dark
brow of the Black Hills In the full glare of
Iho morning sun , glow like diamonds sot In
opals they are so dazzling one cannot look at
them for moro than a second or two they
fairly burn through tlio eyes and Into tbo

In sight of the lovely town of Laramie ,
"Until c'lty of the Hockies , " is the now sliver
camp that is fondlv hoped will become a
second Lcadvlllo , or perhaps the grealost
silver camp on the continent. It lies on the
eastern slope of the Snowy rnntjo and under
the evening shadow of the Great Divide.
The belt so rich in this precious metal is not
yet familiar to these who bavo looatoi on
and are developing it , but it has ulrcady boon
prospected for n distance of fourteen miles
und tl-o "lime dyke" is at least 100 foot
wldo on the average. The claims that have
boon most extensively developed durinc the
past year are the BrooiUyn nnd Now Yorlr ,
owned by the Lucky Six company ; the Kcd
Bird , owned by .1. J. Fein , nnd the Big
Strike , JndgoC. W. Bramol's property. On
the tlrst named lodge a shaft has boon sunk
to u depth of over fifty
feet and the rock has boon
steadily Increasing in value , Before 11103-
had sunk ton feet the owners were offered
P3."i,000 for the mine. Now hey would proba
bly not consider any offer. Tbo ere is not
only high zrndo , but the lodco practically In-
oxhaustlblo. The whole side of the moun
tain is rich in the precious motals. If Indica
tions go for anything , for wonderful loads ot
sliver , copper aud gold huvo boon discovered
everywhere from the head of French crook
to the head of Hock crcoi : and ut the foot of
Old Sprint' , alouir Douglas rrcoh nnd Ita
tributaries , are pincers that have been
worked profitably for the past twenty years ,
together with rich quartz lodes , of which thu
Keyslono and the Florence have been noted
pioducors for it long timo.

Owing lo delays on the Nebraska division ,
tbo train did not reach Salt Lake until about
'J o'clock a. m. It was election day und ovcry
other Interest was lost sight of in tbo strug
gle for supremacy between the Mormons
and tbo Utilities. It is useless to deny the
fact lhat the same old battle la still on ,
Republicans and democrats hero are what
third parties nro In the east. 'J hey servo ns
auxiliaries lo ono of Iho old combinations
ami Inv.ula'jly ruin the very cause they seek
tondvuncu that is , unless onu party la so
poworlul that It can overwhelm the whole
cauoouk1.
Thu enthusiasm on all aides wus un
bounded. There was the usual array of car-
Hugos with llamlng , banners , the saloon *
\\vtf > closed , ihero was a crowd surrounding
ovcry polling place , and there was enough
squabbling nnd fraud to do credit to the old
"Hloody Third" In Omaha. Tun liberals won
the day nud In the evening thev celebrated
their victory. The women , who once voted ,
were disfranchised ! > oino years neo ,
but they helped to "demonstrate" all the
snme , nnd 1 bellovo I never saw
Mtrh n carnival before. There wcro bonfires
on every hand , generally nbout six lo the
Work. Men , women and bovs went nbout
blowing tin hnrns until the din would hnvo
.shaken dowu walls leu times RS strong ns
the o of Jericho , hsdthey kcptup the racliot.
L idles who were evidently respectable
would walk up nud toot their horns right In
the face of the pasier-bv. Kids of lender
venrs swelled the pnndomonlum. Bands
pla\ctl and men In uniforms of the wide-
awnko pattern marched UP nnd down the
streets until lone after midiilcht. A new
feature I noticed was the npponranco of
majors In the crowd It was a mlnliitnro
nmrdl gnu , n mimtnoth bal masque without
thu musin and iho nanclng , n cnralvnl 'nt
Home or Venice. It was the wildest , most
rccklesi , most demonstrative nluht I have
over even read of , outside of Poo1 * "Masnuo
oflhoUod D.'nth. "
Yet thny say tlmt thov have bnd seven
such contests m this city nnii that this
wasn't n nmikcr to some of them. The night
wound up with a fire on the main street In
whlcli two prominent business housoi wcro
burned out , and I verily believe the people
would hnvo enjoyed seeing half the town go ,
rather than forego the delirious bliss of vic
tory.
A Illc MHItr.
The second notable ovontof tbo week was
the striking of another big well ot natural
gas on the line of the Union Pacific , twelve
miles north of the city , by the American
Nnttitnl Uns company , nnd the ceremonies
attending its llrst tiring.
After eight weeks of boring ntm nt n depth
of 715 feet the tlrst sandstone ot the carboni
ferous period was struck. It was the KOIIU-
tno Trenton stone nnd , when the drill pene
trated it , it was hurled upward ,
the great Iron mass not onlv coming
to the surface , but Hying fully 200'
foot higher in the air. This was followed bv
n shower of earth nnJ gravel , rock nud debris
of all sorts , that when It fell formed n crater-
like circle around the bolo nnd sunk Into the
surface to n depth of seven feet. The man
ager nntl his workmen were engaged about
that time In hunting for the Union Paclllu
track , n half mile nwny , or plainly sponklug ,
for refuge from the shower that was ns dan
gerous as that from an eruption of Vesuvius.
The now strike naturally caused 5 great
sensation In Zion , where they nro banking
heavily on the value that natural pus will
prove to the city in the way of inviting man
ufacturing : and Industrial llrms to locate
hero ; public curiosity was excited to the
highest pitch , nnd the Union Pncille ran n
special excursion train to thu icono to enable
the public to size up the situation to their
own satisfaction.
Arriving nt the point nearest the well ,
which Is probablv 1,000 foot from the well
tlrst discovered , two enormous torches were
descried burning near the shore of the lake.
There was also hoard the melodious voice of
a calliope , operated through the medium of n
two inch pipe from the old well , set up near
tha Union Pacific taaek.
J. C. Elliott , an old time nnd well known
Omaha plumber , who has boon locatrd hero
for the past Ihrco years , and who has done
nil the pi pa tilting for those wolb , supcrin-
lendod Iho exhibition. Every few minutes
ho would hold a handful of red , blun or green
lire powder near tlio lower orifice of the largo
pipe stem , so lhat the suction carried
It. up into the torch , producing very line
effects , not to bo equaled bv the bost'spec-
tacular business in tlio country. Meanwhile
the scene was successfully photographed by
two of the leadinc nrllsts of.ion. .
Soon there \"ns hoard , off to the west a
rotrlng sound like that from a locomotive
when the blower is turned on. but many
times louder , and the crowd began to surge
that way. Arriving near the cncino house
of Ihe now well , a grayish column was seen
shooting upward from n six-Inch pine that
extended twenty feet above the well and
wits puyed with ropes nnd fastened to the
drilling rig. Tbo column slrcnglv resembled
n huge fountain of sand , and was about 150
feet high , aud twelve toot wide nt thu Inso.
This was what the visitors had como to see ,
but they did not know It.
It could only 'bo lighted by means
of I'nman candles , the many-colored
balls from which were sent llyinir in the di
rection of the llaino .which did nut light un
til Iully ten feet above the vent. After sev
eral ineiTcctr.nl attempts , one of the balls
vas sent directly through the jrrtiy columu ,
Ihcro wus u spln'sh und
lnstiiiitiiiroiml.v a Itii.ir
that mndo every min nnd woman start ;
horses that had been ridden or driven close
lo Iho well plunged and snorted , and n stam
pede seemed inevitable. But iho fractious
steoMs wore soon ciirbad nnd brutes as well
as men stood awe-stricken in the presence of
tnu greatest torch ever llghlod in the Rocky
mountain region. Tlio roar of the oscnpiug
gas was awe-inspiring ; the flame as il shot
upward was terrible lo look al ; Ilia glare of
Iho torch lighted the liiirhost mountain
and was visible leu miles nxvav.
Boys throw snowballs into the nmbt of the
column of burning gas , nnd they were
snalchcd up nnd thrown .Vjll yards away.
The full pressure of the gas was not turned
on by any moans , but there was enungh In
the spectacle 10 conlirm- those who have
scouted the idea of there being enough
natural ens in this country lo hoof practical
advantage to manufacturers nnd for city
heating nnd lighting. W. II. KBNT.

NiVo i IK , Fob. 'JJ.--A party of colored
men , numbering about a hundrud , arrived
hero today. The families are on their wnv
from Indian Territory to Ijlberia , Africa.
They were n curious looking lot of peoplo.
The police took them to Stephen Merrill's
mission to give them shelter from the rain
uud something lo oat. One of tbo number ,
George Washington , uvonoiable darkey , told
the story of their wanderings , Ho said they
came from Kodland , I. T. , In the Cherokee
nation , liftoon miles from Fort Smith , Ark.
Aiost of thorn owned properly and raised
cotton , but the last summer the crop was a
failure and thi v became dissatisfied. 'J ho
trip to Liberia had boon discussed last June.
Hov. Mr. Hill , their pastor , favored the pro
ject and concluded to go with them us their
leader. Hov. Mr. Hill told Ihuin lhat It
would cost thnin $1 , . " > 00 to got to this city anil
that the stoiim.-HiIp com puny would give
them free passage to Africa. His proposition
was accepted ,
Many of them sold their hnmci far almost
nolhini. ' in order to raise the amount. He
said thut some time ago ho received a circu
lar from a man immea Coppmgor of Wash-
Iiiflon , manager of the American Coloniza
tion society. The circular stated that negroes
could BO to Africa free of uhargoafier taking
the oath of allegiance to the African gov
ernment administered nt Ihe custom house.
This they found was untrue. The pastor
und his people nro loft hero without moans
and all of thorn bereft of homo and farms.
