ORDINANCES cutting down the num ber of tuk-eaters very materially arenow before the council with every prospect that they will be passed. The present city government begi business as i it ‘meant to respect the wishes of the taxpayers in the matter of retrenchment. CONGRESSMAN MCKEIGHAN voted for the Holman nickel-in-the-slot resolution. This will compromise his efforts for the Hastings public building bill, which has been passed in the senate for the fourth time. Unless the Red Cloud warrior stultifies himzelf and makes some happy combinutions, Hastings may be doomed onco more to disappointment.

United sond and me el THE PROMIBITION CLUB. The inaugural message of Governor Boles appears to be alm Ausively devoted to the workings of prohibition in Towa and its utter failure to repress intemperanc The tenor of the in igural leaves no room for doubt that vernor Boies is playing his trump ng the substitution of high license for prohibition. We doubt, how- , whether Governor Boles and his party arve really in regards npeal of prohibition, which for sev | years past has been the most effi- uiting agency for the fowa d If the democrats had been in enrnest nhout repealing the ‘prohibition law they could and would have Jdone so through the last legislature. But they imply masquerading then and ar playing fast and They will play shuttlecock and battledore again as they did tw munage to adjourn with prohibition still the statutes.

Montana had, turns, o total of 5,664 farms in 1800, of these 3,706 were cultivated with i gation. The total aven of irrigated tarm land May 31, 1800, the end of the census year, was 8550, The in addition about 217,000 ncres anted for pasturage. The average first cost of water right in Montana is #4.63 per and the average cost of preparing the soil for cultivation, including the pur- chase price of the land, is $0.54 p The average annual cost is 95 cents | acre, which, deducted from the average annual value of products, leaves an avernge annual return from the irri gated farms of $12 por ac [t will probubly be a surprise tocasual aders to learn that Montana irr a larger area than Utah, Wyoming, Arvizona or New Mexico. Indeed, she raises crops from more irvigated land than Utah and Arizona combined or Wyoming and New Mexico combined and within a few thousand acres of the aggregate aveaof Utah and New Mexico, Noarly three times as many persons farm by irvigation in Utah, however, and the number in New M 0 is almost equal to that of Montana. The size of the crop area is very much less in those territories, being twenty-seven acres to the irrigator in Utah and thirty acres in New Mexico. The fiest cost of u water right is lesy in Montana than in Utah, New Mexico and Avizona, but greater by #1 per acre than in Wyoming. A large part of the agricultural area of Montana is at an elevation of from 4,000 to $5,000 feet, and the se: very short. Montana is the most now erly state of thearid region, but it hasa bundance of water, and, being r and agricultural state chiefly, its nroducts, whether forage, grain, hardy fruits or vegetables, have a la 1in- wsing demand. Over most of the state the aroual rainfall suflicient if it were properly distributed, but un- fortunately for farming e v dependent upon the rains a crop mauy be riined by a hot wind or a short drouth and, therefore, irrigation almost as cssential to success as in the more strictly arid sections of the union. The success which nas attended farm- ing operations where irvigation has been resorted to in Montana is o very strong argument in favor of a comprehensive system of irvigation sevoirs and ditches. [t shows that even under the most unfavorable climatic conditions a supply of water can make the valloys and hilisides yield a rich veturn to the agriculturist. WAR AND BUSINESS, ns showing v even ag sording to census re- and vi- 82.0cres, racrd gates son is - ge an is torprises S0 There is & very goneval impression that a war with Chili would be a stimu- lus to business activity. Oun this point there is a wide difference of opinion Some men of experience in practieal af- fuirs contend that the vopular belief that var will stimulate business not well found Th doubt that war would increase activity in somo lines of trade. The government would pay out a largo amount of money in fitting out transports, buying arms and munitions of war, and paying for the transpor tion of soldiers, In these direct stimulus would be given to business, but the effect would be by nomenns general, or the government would pur- chase large quantities of provisions, but the men who were taken from produc- tive industries and made soldiers would not consume any more than they do now. The producers would sell no more wheat and pork than if the men emolled in the army were to remanin at their respective occupations, Tt is obvious that we could not take 50,000 or 100,000 wen from the populution and send them to fight in a foreign land withoat a heavy drain on o '8 and o consequent inc in taxation, A very intelligent writer observes that war at the 3 comos In conflict with mere materinl prosperity, It disturbs and routine of business and uncertainty and dread for certainty and eon- fidence. *“It acts upon the habitual course of trade,” saya this writer, *as a misplaced switch or a broken rail doos upon a train of ears. lInstead of the smooth, even and nicoly adjusted track along which it had hitherto been glid- ing, it is forced into a path for which it is not fittea and upon which it comes to o stop with & jar and a crash. Whon war breaks out, every banker, mer- chant, manufacturer and head of ganized industry has to stop and con- sider what he will do next, wher he went on from day to day in s confidence that he nosd him self no concern to provide for extraordi nting 'he ros sults of war would bo a vise in the of int fall in the price of securitios, and exvept of commoditles for which creates & ve is no - ms course p20u outsot upsets the substitutes or- as hos fore ren give nary ¢ moios natural rate st for money, i wa AHA [ special market, ns materials for its | prosecution, fall in the prices of mer= | ehandise. | This might not be ronlized in war with Chili, unless there onsued a dangor of other countries intorforing, because of 0 gen- eral belief that the confliot prolonged, but some unsettling of the prevailing conditions could hardly fail to take place and it is not conceivable how this could operate to the advantage of the general business of the country. Those who would tike to hostilitios butween that country and the United States from a beliei that it would help business have not thoroughly studied the situation, of affairs caso of a state would not be see NEW-FANGLED BOOKKEEPING, Oune of the most efficient branches of the city government during the past w has been the comptroller’s office. ivorybody who has had business with the comptroller while Mr. Goodrich held the office was always uble to procure information on short notice about city finances, amounts available in any fund, amounts due to any contractor nd the conditi of every contract This was doubtless due to the method- fcal arrangement of rocords and docu- ments and the simplicity of the books kept by the comptroler. It would be serious blunder to dis- card this systom of hookkeeping for some new-fangied and complicated schieme which would involve a large out- anks without ns lay for books and b cor sponding benelits. Itis to hoped that Olser. will instruct his clerks to adhere to the methods There is no for in the comptroller’s hange is for the better and is absolutely necessar) It is al- ways the habit of new hookkeepors to introduce new ways of bookkeeping and to deery the work of their predec Without disparaging the ability of Mr. Olsen’s deputies we venture to that they cannot materizlly improve upon the style and relinbility of the ex- perienced aceountants who compiled the records in the comptroller’s oflice and hed the system of bookkeeping under Mr. Goodrich, Thero is danger, howvever, that the new brooms will be more expensive than the old ones, and less satisfactory as regards promptness and efMciency. NATIONAL PATRIOTISM. Thoss who may have formed the be- liof that a quarter of a century of peace, with rcedented activity in ma- torial nt, had dulled the spirit of national patriotism, will have to admit they were mistaken in view of the general manifestation of that spirit at tho prospect of war. A great deal has been said in recent years about the decline of loyalty and patriotism among the American poople. Wo have been told that the men of tnis gene tion are not imbued with the same strong love of country that distinguished the men of 1776 and 1851, that theve was a growing indifference, if not ircevorence, respecting those things that mike honorable and giorious the history of the republic, and that the eager conflict in the tiold of material en- terprise had well-migh destroyeld pop- ular patviotism. The evidence is at hand that these views are aot well founded, The Amevican people are not a like people. They their history abundantiy tostifies, they will bear mueh and baar it long to avoid Uhey comprohend fally what war 1. But when the honor and dignity are to be mantained they are as ready to fight, if that ulter- native bo forced upon them, as any people in the world, and without count- ing the cost. The prospact of war with Chili has shown that the national government can make no demnd upon the country for soldiess that will not be promptly mot. Feom eve: of the republic have come nssurances th thousands nre realy to respond to a call toarms. Tho young men of todiy ure no less willing than were thoss of thirty yeurs ago to place their lives at the command of the goverament, and the moen who fought to overthrow the gov- ernment are the most eiger new iv serve it, if their servicos shouid be needed. A call for a hundred thousand men would be filled in a day, anl times that numosr could be enrolled for military sorvice as soon ns the of eurollment ba pecformad. The United Suat not need gront standing army, beeanse the patriotism of the people can be depsaded upon for any emergency. Thers is a moral significancs in this, which other nations will not fail o recognize, The institutions of a nation ure pretty secure when it ean at any time summon from its farms and work- shops an army numerically equal to the standing armies of Burope and infused with u higher order of patriotism. A ountry not suffering political de terioration whose sc are always ready to leap to her defense or to vindicate her honor and enforce her rights, It to hoped throatened war with Chili will by averted, Thera would no glory for the United States in whij that country.

In view of this fact, it behooves the council to expedite the proposed re- vision. dinan co se to appol —_— ONE voice has heen heard in the west in favor of Governor Flower of New York as a candidate for president. The member of the democratic national com- mittee from Wisconsin is the man who regards the governor as the avail- able person th ts can noming for their standard bearer in 1892, In the opinion of this gentleman the democra would court defeat with Hill as a candi- date, while Cleveland is out of the quos- tion owing to his attitude on silver. But Flower has no faults or weak points. “He 1s without enemies in the party. He is woalthy and he is clean. His democracy is as firm as his porsonlity is delightful.” It is perhaps superfluous to say that the Wisconsin man had but just paid a visit to Governor Flower when he indulged in this recital of his points, and man better qualified than the governor to make a gool personal impression. His courtesy and affability ave his most marked char- acteristics, and theso were undoubtedly shown at the very best if the Wisconsin visitor indicated his proference among possible candidates, which very likely he did. Perhaps Governor Flower may veaily have a chance of being the candi- date of his party for the presidency, but if 0 he probably will not permit it to be obtrusively shown until it is fully dem- oustrated that Senator Hill cannot be nominated. It is understood that Flower is to assert no cluims in this direction while Iill is in the field. most democra strong no is CONGRESSMAN LOCKWO0OD of Buffalo, N. Y., who placed Cleveland in nomi- nation for thé several offices of mayor, governor and president, and who is re- rded at his.home as a very shrewd politician, Fosently said that he did not think Cleveland would get a single delegate from the state of New York to the democtatjc national convention. IHe believes the delegation will he for Hill, and in‘that case he thinks the ex- president will stand a very small chance in the conveition. This view appears to be prelty general among the demo- cratic congressmen of the BEmpire state, and it is evidontly having a decided in- fluence upon the opinion of the rapre- sentatives of ‘that party from other stafes, A Washington spondent says that ina prétly extensive search among the democrats in the house ho has beeh unable to find anyone who be lieves that Cleveland’s chances for getting the nomination are worth much.
