Nothing can satisfy a fanatio, Tue Bee prints a synopsis of this luw, to which the attention of all thinking men is di- rected, AN APPEAL TO COMMON SENSE. The leaders of the independent poo- ple’s movement are making a frantic ef- fort to keep republican farmers out of the republican primarics, They are de- liberately trying to prevent anti-monop- oly republicans from wrenching the con- | trol of the party out of thé hands of the corporation bosses by letting the cau- cuses and primarios go by default. And this is done in the name of the Farmers’ Alliance, which has been organized mainly to grapple with the corporations and place the state in the hands of ¢ ble and upright men who will recc and serve only one master—the people. We are told t sixteen thousand farmers have signed the call for the in- dependent movement. Suppose that fifty thousand farmers and workingmen 1 the new people’s p what would that amount to? In thecoming ‘tion two hundred and twenty thou- sand votes will be cast in Nebraska, and it will take at leust cighty thousand votes to elect any man on the sfate ticket. What chance has the new party to rall hty thousaud voters under its erazy-quilt platform? Is it not manifest that the only hope braska i ers have of redeem- ing the state is in inaking their power felt in republican caucuses and conventions? The farming element is in the majority in the republi- rty and it is the faultof the pro- snot heretofore die- ticket and controlied s by men of their own choice, B now mukes its last appeal to the republican farmers to attend the caucuses and conventions and take con- trol of the party and its machinery, If they allow themselves to be led astray by umbitious vision il wildeat eranks, who have not the remotest idea of the visk they incur in the new party move- ment, they will only have themselves to blame for whate ter may follow. should jo ries ARID LAND SUR The general land office has completed the work of segregating the lands veyed under the arid land act of 18 "Ilie law practically reserved the enti avid region until the surveys wi pleted, and marl s tributary to streams ject to gation. In all twelve hundred townships have thus been s grate They 1 principally [daho and Montana, with smaller arcas in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, ag- wing twenty-two million acres. ot only ar the sites for res i ditches and in- these surveys, but also all sceptible of irvigation by such voirs, ditches and canals. The sur- veys are by no means completed, but the worlk already done will define the areas which these surveys will bring within the operations of the avid land law. Under the decision of the attorney general the arid lands roserved under the act of 1859 will be subject to entry and settlement as soon as the land office prepares the final maps and profiles. Several bills are pending in congress providing for the moditication of the law so far as it reserves the land from settlement. The fact that under operation of the law twenty-two million acres will bs avail- able to sertloment is suttieiont to supply all immediate demand and render un- necessary o ehango in the act. It is of the greatest importance thay the unsurveyed land should be with- wn until the government has defined > boundaries of land subject to irriga- tion by any given stream, reservoir and canal, and accurately determined the volume of sites for res ervoirs, othes essential details for systematizing the reclamation of arid iands. The tem- porary inconvenience caused by with- holding the lands included in the act is insignificant compared with the perma- nent good which will result from com- plete surveys of irrigable land and the quantity of both land and water subject to entr Pe com- and sul cluded in lands s vese AS 10 SHIP SUBSIDIES. The senate has entered upon the con- sideration of tho bills reported from its committee on com to “*place the American merchant marine engaged in foreign trade upon an equality with that of foreign nations” and **to provide for ocean mail servies botwesn the »d States and foreign ports and to promote comme " The firstof thesa bills pro- poses a bounty on tonnage for all ships of a cectaln ¢! and has tho endovsement of the Ship- ping League association of the United States. According toan estimate of the commissioner of navigation its dvst to the public treasury for the first yeur would be about three million dollars, and for ti four years five ovsix million dollars, and in the opinion of Senator Frye, who is an advocate of the measure, the costin five or six years would be seven or eight million dollars. It hardly need bo said that these esti- mates are purposely conservati prohubly very much unde: would be should the adopted, have the effect in stimu- lating ship building which their advo- cates profess to balieve they would, The other bill is a postal subsidy measure au- thorizing the postmaster general to make contracts, after advertisement, with the lowest bidder for cavrying United States mails in four classes of American vessels, Senator Frye said with regard to th measure that he had no doubt if it be- same a law there would be in three years a line of American steamers botween New ork and L pool, and he stated that a line of four ships under the bill would cost eight hundred thousand dollars a year, which he thought reasonable, Senator Frye, who is the especial champion of the subsidy projects, pre- sented the familiar argument claimed that the American e trade was dead for the want of protec- tion and that the only remedy was in government assistance. Unless congress did something soon there would not be a line on the ocean carrying the American flag. In his opinion the Amervican carrying trade was doomed to death unless prompt and liberal assist- ance was afforded, and bounties and sub- sidies were necessary to save it from ruinous competition, The necessity of assisting the upbuild- e or measures, ing of the American merchant marine is | admitted by all, but the granting of subsidies will not accomplish the ends sought. It is simply folly to grant federal aid to American steamship | lines while congress proposes to incrense the duties on foreign goods to the full prohibitory point. It is impossible to huild up a profitable trade between this and other nations while the doors of the United Sts ro wholly barred against the products of her neighbors. Nor can | it be expected that other nations will feel partial toward American products, nor is it possible to enlarge the foreign market unless we show a spirit of trade eciprocity. To grant subsidies to steamship linesand at the same time strengthen the tariff Chinese wall around the country is an indefensible measure of extravagance. When this country encourages trade tions with her neighbors by reciprocal coneossions it will be practicable to maintain a mer- chant marine with slight asistance from the government.
