That every Passing storm should be permitted to rele- gate a modern city to the comparatively helpless conditions that were common fifty years ago is worse than absurd; it is in- sanity. HLS i g i ? i —— - +02 ‘Throughout a long term of years and With a frequent show of interest in the subject Congress has, again and agein, au- thorized compilations and revisions and codifications by commissions of that hete- Yogeneous compound of statutory endeavor called by courtesy District faw, and yet there fs no code, not even a revision, that has been declared to be law by Congress. ‘The commissions appointed to do the pre- Hmimary work have performed their duty ‘well, but Congress has never made legisia- tive use of the labors of its agents. Suc- cessive Congtesses have thought that they performed their duty in this matter toward ing. and to be subjected to the same feglect of its completed work that its predecessors suffered.

River—the reat Amertcan Desert. How much will be accomplished by the convention may ‘not safely be predicted, for a great deal ‘de pends upon national and state legislatares and these, as a rule, are far from certain in their operation. Those who know nothing of the great unused tracts in those states and territories w! e rain, rarely and trreg- ularly falls may be inclined to smile at the | Statement that twenty years hence ‘the | American people will speak of the conven- tion in question as historic, yet that is what ie said of it by Editor William Smythe of the Irrigation Age, in his broad. and read- able contribution on “The Irrigation Ide: to the Review of Reviews. Mr. Sm ‘Whose tendency on this subject Would natu ally be toward optimism, feels sure that the People of the United States wiil go back to } this convention “with infinite intefest to} trace the beginnings of a movement that | Beaded the frontiers of their couritry and; evolved new forms of civilization. The world,” says he, “will gain more from this convention, and the logical results that come after it, than it gained from the voy- age of Columbus during the first two cen- turies succeeding his discovery. The new empire which the promoters of this conven- tfon aim to conquer and subdue to the uses of man is larger in extent and infinitely greater in variety and wealth of resources than the land revealed by the Spanish ex- plorer was belfeved to be by him or by his descendants for two hundred years after him.” And yet it is difficult to say that these things will not be, for in the membership of the convention are men of great positive force—fair specimens of the human lever that moves this world. They propose to supply by ingenious and artificial means the moisture needed to support agriculture and horticulture throughout a region which com- prises two-fifths of the national domain; and they will probably succeed. In very many respects the results of man's hand!- work are highly creditable and as to irriga- tion can be depended upon when all confl- @ence is lost in nature itself. Agricufture by means of irrigation is a science of which the non-tirrigating farmer knows nothing, ‘while but few Eastern people have any idea of the miractes ft works. Mr. Smythe says there is an opinion prevailing that irrigation is merely a substitute for rain, but that it has been very brightly and wisely said that rain is a substitute for irrigation, and a very poor one at that. The farmer who has @ good system of irrigation on his land need have no fear of loss by reason of drouth, for so long as the big streams from which he derives his supply continue to flow oceanward, so long will he have no use for the rains of heaven. It is undoubtedly true that irrigation can and will add hundreds ‘of millions of acres to that domain m which industrious man may profitably labor, but there are other and greater benefits conse- quent upon general adoption of the irriga- tion idea. The arid region, says Mr. Smythe, will be pre-eminently the land of small farms and to the sociologist that will be a most interesting fact. Multiplication of farms means a long and civilizing step for- ward for the indomitable people who now struggle in comparative loneliness, and will materially affect the characteristics and prosperity of this nation. The work of sal- ‘vation should be aided at eyery opportunity by every one who has the country's welfare at heart —_____+ e+ ___—__ The cup stays. After three races,in which every quality of-the contesting yachts was fully tried, that magnificent product of American skill, manipulated in accordance with American ideas of seamanship—the Vigilant—has substantiated every claim that has ever been made as to American superi- ority. Of the three races, that which took place yesterday was by far the most excit- ing, for the Valkyrie secured and maintain- ed an unexpected lead until moze than half the course had been sailed. Indeed, for a while it seemed certain that nothing but ac- eldent could prevent the British cutter from carrying off the honors of the day, but the center-board yacht responded nobly to the efforts of its captain and surely, if slowly, overhauled and passed the fleetest boat ever built in Great Britain. The time made was remakable, and it is questionable if in all history of yachting a better record ts to be found than that made yestezday on the run home. The fifteen knots—and the sea was very heavy—were made by the Vigilant in one hour and fifteen minutes; a truly won- erful performance. Both boats were excel- lently handled, neither of them suffered from interference in their maneuverings, there was but one slight accident—to the Valkyrie—but it would hardly have made ten seconds difference in the final result, so ‘that altogether it may be said that the con- ‘test was a thoroughly successful test of the relative merits of boats and crews. That the American yacht should win is not sur- prising. From the beginning American argument and American money have always been on the side of the centerboard, and the Tesult of the greatest international yachting contest ever held is strongly corroborative of the national opinion. Though defeated Lora Dunraven may well be proud of the record made by his yacht. He is a’ true ‘sportsman of the highest type and deserves all of the many pleasant things that have been said of him. He is still a firm believer in the cutter and will doubtless endeavor to bring about structural changes through which a cutter's speed may be increased, and even come here again to struggle for the coveted trophy. Perhaps he may suc- ceed; tenacity lke his is deserving of suc- cess. But in the meantime the cup stays. + ee Many of those who are deeply interested in extensions of the liquor traffic within the District of Columbia are planning another assault upon the law which provides that no intoxicants shall be sold within an area of one mile from the grounds of the Soldiers" Home. That the movement will be success- ful is far from probable, although powerful influences will be brought to bear in its be- half. No attempt will be made to touch the mit lines on the north, east or west, but Congress will be asked to amend the statute so that those who want to open saloons on 7th street up to Florida Avenue may have their desires gratified. The interested public will probably await with unfeigned curiosity the appearance of the argument which would be presented in favor of such a re- quest. Congress has twice declared itself to be in favor of the mile limit, and congre: stonal wisdom in this matter Is attested by the conditions that have developed under the law's operation. Why intending saloon keepers on the north, east and west, should be compelled to other lines of industry while their competitors to the south should re- cetve special consideration is fa> from clear. If Congress really wants to do the right thing in this matter it will decline to tamper with the acts of {ts predecessors. on ‘The complete success of the free bathing beach during the summer season just clos- ing Is perhaps the strongest argument that can be advanced in favor of a more liberal appropriation for this poular institution. According to the report of the superimtend- ent of the beach, recently submitted, 26,337 ‘Dathers have registered during the summer and all of this large number bathed safely. ..ot only was there not a single fatal ac- cident, but there was not a mishap worth recording. This is a most satisfactory record. ‘That the free bathing beach is a blessing from the standpoint of health and cleanliness is evident, but it is from the point of safety that its success can best be gauged. In marked contrast to {ts record in this line is the fact that among the com- paratively few who, in violation of the law, bathed at other points along the river front, there were eight cases of drowning during the summer. The moral of this is very Velear, that there should be a free bathing beach for the people and that it should re- eelve generous and hearty support at the hands of the powers that be. —~ 2 _—___ Friday the 13th was not a lucky day for the Valkyrie.

The attention of the country has been focused for the past week on the efforts to pass the bill repeating the Bherman silver act. The repealers under the lead of Senator Voorhees decided to enter on a struggle of endurance, to hold the Senate in session until a vote was obtained. The struggle began on Wednesday and lasted until 2 o'clock yesterday morning, when the endurance of the repealers was exhausted and the Senate adjourned. The struggle was memorable for the long speech of Senator Allen of Nebraska, who held the fioor for over fourteen hours, the longest time on record. The stock market reflected the effect of the failure of the repealers on the following day, stocks all dropping. American stocks in’ were dull, but did not fall materially. The event in the House was the passage of the Tucker bill repealing the federal election laws. Of uni- versal interest were the international yacht races for the possession of the America’s Cup by the American sloop Vigilant and the British cutter Valkyrie. The former won in a stiff breeze on Monday over a 20- mile triangular course by over 12 minutes elapsed time. An effort was made on Wed- nesday to sail the third race, 15 miles to windward and return, but the breeze was too light to permit the race to be complet- ed within the six hour limit. Yesterday another effort was made and in almost a gale the American yacht won by a narrow margin. It is said that the owner of the British yaeht Irex will challenge for a con- test next: year. Cholera was brought to our shores by the Hamburg steamer Russia, on which five deaths had occurred during the voyage. The vessel was quarantined on arrival and the-passengers taken off the vessel. There hag been no alarm in New York or throughout ‘the country, the pre- vailing feeling being that the New York health authorities are able to cope with the matter. Monday was Chicago Day at the world’s fair and over 713,000 persons paid to enter the gates. It was the largest number of persons ever-congregated. There was a great rush for transportation and half a dozen persons were killed and many in- jured. Another horror of the week was connected,though more remotely, with the fair. Two sections of an excursion train from the east, bound for Chicago, collided at Jackson, Mich., and a number were killed. The air brakes on the second seetion failed to work and the train crashed into the first. The trial of Rev. Henry P. Smith for heresy began before the Ohio’ Synod of the Presbyterian Church. Foreign Lands. ‘The arrival of the French fleet at Toulon, France, for which elaborate preparations had been made, was'the event of the week abroad. Cordiality between France and Germany will hardly be increased by an incident of the past week. The Paris banks, incited by the government, began to press Italy for the immediate payment of a heavy loan. A German syndicate came to the relief of the embarrassed debtor. Bis- marck’s return from Kissingen to Fried- erichsruhe was as much of an ovation as the circumstances permitted. Germany's “Grand Old Man” seemed none the worse for the journey. The Moors have been greatly irritating Spain and have been beaten back at Melilla by a force hardly one- tenth as large as that making the attack. Eleven Sepoys were blown from the mouths of cannon at Cabul for mutiny. The re- volt in Brazil continues without either party gaining an advantage.Admiral Mello, commanding the rebel fleet, has announced that he will not bombard the city of Rio. Considerable discussion has been caused by rumors of intentions of foreign powers to intervene in behalf of the insurgents. This has been decided to be in opposition to the Monroe doctrine. ‘The Austrian Reichsrath opened what promises to be a lively session, Prime Minister Taafe introduced a Dill for electoral reform that has caused great agi- tation.

The demurrer to the in- @ictment inthe Ford’s Theater disaste case was overruled in the Criminal Court an appeal was made to the Court of Ap- peals and the ease will be heard by that court on November 7. The District Com- missioners decided to recommend to Con- gress that the penalty for the non-pay- ment of taxes be reduced from 2 per cent per month to 1 per cent.
