(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Auk. . (Special.) An Irriga
tion project of large proportion, calculated
to benefit not only arid territory la western
Nebraska, but a large district In eastern
Wyoming an well, was outlined at a confer
once thia afternoon, participated In by Ben
ator Dietrich. Elwood Mead, chief of Irrtga
tlon Investigation for the Department of Ag
riculture, and State Engineer Dobeon. Mem
ber of tbe State Board of Irrigation also
kayo given their support to the plan and will
recommend to the proper authorttlea at
Wash ngton that It be put In'a rp ration and
that the necessary conetructlon of canals
and reservoirs be soon commenced. Mr.
Mead's chief object In visiting this state Is
to take steps towards legal determination of
the questions of Interstate Irrigation right,
but as be la thoroughly onvernt with the
condition la western Nebraska and In Wy
oming be gladly entered the conference on
the pr; posed Irrigation scheme and promised
to give all poaslbl assistance In carrying It
out. ' .
Blajr Caaaf Scheme.
Tbe plan contemplates the construction
of a canal from a point on the North Platte
river near Guernsey; eastward to and across
the state line, probably extending through
the counties of Sioux, Scotts Bluffs and Chey
cne, and for a short distance In Deuel. Sev
eral reservoir may be needed, but It wss
agreed this afternoon, from all Information
at hand, that a soluble, site for a main res
ervoir would, be at Ehcep Crek canyon,
which crosses the atate line. The work
Contemplated would be started at Guernsey,
however, and would extend for a considera
ble distance into Nebraska.
No definite estimates of the cost or other
details of the project have been made,feut
ll la thought that at least 60O,O0'0 acres could
(b irrigated from the projected canal. 'The
cost would probably not be over $2,0X,C00.
Senator Dietrich and Congressman Burkett
Stave agreed to use their beat efforts In tbe
furtherance of the plan and they expect the
ata stance cf othr members, of the Nebraska
congressional delegation. Whatever along
the construction line 1 done will be under
tbe direction and supervision of the Depart
ment of tbe Interior, with tbe geological
survey In Immediate charge.
Elwood Mead hope to bring the Irrigation
Interest of the various adjoining state to
agree on interstate legislation governing or
'regulating; the apportionment of water from
the river. He proposes to have a aeries of
thorough investigation made, with a view
to determining from actual conditions Just
bow much water. each state Is entitled to,
and the proposed legislation will be based on
these findings.
"The work of the United Btatea Depart
ment of Agriculture on irrigation i pri
marily agricultural and economical," said
Mr. Mead. "It ha to, do with the quantity
of water used by farmer, the method cf
use and the result obtained. It has been
found that success of irrigated agriculture
depend largely upon the laws and custom
which have to do with the use of water. My
principal purpose 1n visiting this country Is
to determine the questions of Interstate Ir
rigation I mean, the distribution of water."
Mr. Mead will go from Lincoln for an ex
tended trip through the irrigation district
of the 'Vest, defotlpg probably a raonHj' In
western Nebiaaka and in Wyoming.

SAROENT, Neb.. Aug. (Special.) E.
M. Webb of Callaway, one of tbe founder
of the populipt party and who we a popu
list member of the state legislature from
this district a few years ago. Is out in a
scathing letter In which he denounce th
fuslonlsts of the state and county, and de
clare be Intend to vote the republican
ticket this fall. Mr. Webb' letter is a Very
Interesting one. He write:
"Ail will now admit that M. C. Harring
ton In lff'Ji wa a political prophet. In his
fsmous letter to Jusn Boyle that year he
said: 'W must accept the Inevitable.
There 1 only one year to watt, and fusion
will be all over. There will be but two
parties, and the recognised leaders of the
democratic party now will be recognized
leaders then. Submit gracefully.'
"When th fuslonlats met at Grand Island,
hauled down tbe populist flag, hoisted the
foul rag of the democratic party and nomi
nated upon a platform acceptable to demo
crat a democrat for governer, who acted as
democratic committeeman under Cleveland
and opposed Kem In bis first campaign for
congress, they not only humiliated and In
suited every self-respecting populist In the
sta e, but turned the la"t screw In the coffin
Ild of th once proud populist party of Ne
braska. ' -
"Whan the fusion bosses of Custer county
met in convention and, at the solicitation of
a mere handfull of democratic allies Call
lies') hauled down the populist flag In the
county which gave the party birth and
nursed it until It became powerful and
strong when they adopted resolution that
no honorable populist cared to recognise as
being even of remote populist origin and
nominated a life-long democrat to head the
county ticket, they not only sealed the
party' death warrant in thl county, but
committed a crime against the Integrity of
the party, its pledge and It own member
ship unequalled in the annals of political
treachery and dishonor. Platform pledges
and resolutions are th inducement offered
by a political party for th vote of the peo
ple. They are th party's sacred promise
to do specific things, and are a morally
binding upon a political party a any pledge
or agreement between man and man.
Oo Baek oa Premise. '
tBut a few short month ago th fusion
and anti-fusion pops met at Broken Bow
in Joint conference, to arrive at a basis of
understandlnt regarding the future policy
of th party. At that conference resolu
tion were adopted pledging the populist
party of th county against any further
fusion In county, state or nation, and
agreeing to work on Independent lines. Aa
a result of the adoption of these resolutions
hi; firtlir thm mid-road-ers
were induced ' to disband their organi
sation, retire their committee and return
to the fold, believing that thl pledge,
given at such a time and under such con
ditions, would b faithfully and religiously
kept,
"No en then dreamed that any set of
fusion 'heeiers,' no matter how degenerate
would b brasen enough or foolish enough
within a year to place th party in a posi
tion to be condemned by friend and foe aa
an unscrupulous liar and pledge breaker.
But It has acutally been done and'populleta
are now asked . to submit gracefully, in
plain English, to become democrat.
"Certainly a party which' la guilty of
breaking it pledge to the people and of
practicing the meaneat kind of deception
on it own membership la unworthy of
public confidence or respect, and the man
who Is following such a party expecting to
get reform 'may a well hang bis harp on
the willow.'
"Just why 80,000 populist of Nebraska
have been smothered to death and amoked
out by the 9,000 democrats wfio followed
Mr. Drysn out of the democratic state con
vention la 189S, I no longer a debatable
question. Instead of fulfilling the grand
work which its founders Intended and
which the rank and file intended, the pop
ulist brgantzatloo in this state ha been
used a a mere tag for democratic to play
with. t'p to 189S Mr. Bryan bad no party
following in Nebraska worth mentioning.
He was too much of a democrat to become
a pcpulist, but he aspired to national lead
ership and wanted a 'prestige,' a following,'
to stay him up in hi struggle, not for pop
ulist principles, but for the supremacy of
Bryan in the democratic party. To obtain
this 'prestige' for Bryan fusion was born.
To maintain this 'prestige' for Bryan pop
ulism wa killed.'
Perry Beyond fatvattoa.
"Saltpeter won't save the party, Bryan
don't want to - and th fuslonlsts can't.
Tet they blunder ahead, blindly and with
out hope, atlll following the uncertain
footsteps of a democratic politician who
ha been twice repudiated by the eober
ens of the American people, and twice
turned down by the sober Judgment of hi
own party.
"No one expects a democrat to read,
tut tta tiK9 has ccsne when every fuslsa
populist should be able to read cn every
signboard, in every highway, and at every
crossroads these word: 'Weighed in the
balance and found wanting.' If they can
not read them now, perhaps they (.an In
November when democrats, fusocrats and
several other klmls of 'crats' will be burled
In the same ditch. . .
"When republican left their party In
the early '&0s to Join tbe populists, it wa
was a big step. While the party wa true
to its pledges they voted wi.h It. Now that
the party has merged into the democratic
party, they will return to tbelr former af
filiations ani I glory In their apuuk. I am
golt:g with tbiu. I shall nevrr Kla vote
with a party that Is ashamed to figM under
its own flag. At the coming election I bbali
vote the republican ticket, ss the speediest
means of ridding the atat'i of polltlcul traf
fickers, traders and double dealers, end as
ths only uicaiia left to maintain the dignity
and honor of respectable American clti
senahlp. E. M. WEBB."

the handling of mails between the railroad
stations and the city poetofflc. There hts
been a great deal f complaint recently
over the slipshod manner In which tho
mall have' been handled and It ha been
deemed advisable to ask relief at . the
hand of the Postofflce department. Un
der the present arrangements mall vans
used In transporting mall from railroad
terminals to the city postofflce would be a
disgrace to a city half th slse of Omaha
and Instead of malls being bandied expe
ditiously they are delayed lujt.rnslt and
consequently their local delivery' I low,
making it impossible for an answer to go
out on the same date. It wa surjested
by the gentlemen who called on Mr. 8hal
lenberger today that the street car com
pany would build stubs from their main
tracks to the Union and Burlington sta
tions if the Postofflce department would
put on mall cars. General Shallenberger
stated that while he would like to thl
Improvement made, he felt that It would
pluc the government at too great an ex
pense for cars necessary to meet the de
mand. -He stated, however, that he would
take up the question of bettering th local
ervlc between th station and th city
postoOc and If necessary would recom
mend cancellation of the preaent contract
and ask for new bids with a view of meet
ing the demand of the people of Omaha.
Senator and Miss Millard left for Chi
cago thl afternoon. After spending a day
In that city they will go on to their home
In Omaha. Before leaving the senator
stated that h!s visit to Washington had
not been productive of any great amount
of good for hla constituency In view ef the
absence of so many heads of, department
on their vacation. Ha intimated that he
would probably have to return to Wash
ington within a short time in order to take
up come minor matter pending in th de
partment. Mr. James I. Woodward, and hla aon,
who has been in Washington sine Monday
left for New York tonight.
