To overcome the adverse majority in this state republicans have had to make a percentage of gam which would have turned Missouri into the republican column, The fusionists may possibly lold their | own in the congressionul representation of Nebraska, but in each case thelr sue cessful candidate has won by the skin of his teeth.

And now the certificates of election expenses sworn to by the various can | didates will again roll in to tell the varl- | ous ways in which the successful and | unsuceessful were separated from thelr | woney. These expense accounts are al- ways the most amusing farce of the sea- son.

The sult of the election in the island last week, fn which the republicans we sful, indicates this, 1t Is true the | federal party vefrained frc voting, but this was on the ground of alleged irregularity in the registration and not to uny feeling against this country The fact is that the leaders of the fed eral party knew they would out voted and therefore declined to go to the polls. Their abstention from voting wmakes the house of delegates unaul mous in support of American authority and assures the smooth running of the machinery of government in the island The clection was as free as any in | the United Stat There was no at-| tempt on the part of the Amerfean officials to coutrol or direct the action of the people, who went frecly to the | polls and cast their votes for a com missioner to congress and members of | their own house of delegates, It was | an entirely orderly and peaceable elec tion, contrasting in this respect with | the election in Kentucky., The house of delegates chosen will bave the duty among others, of providing a plan of local taxation which shall abolish the | 15 per cent tarifi between the island | and this country. It is possible it wiil | do this, though it may be that the peo- plo would prefer the present arrange- ment until conditions 1n the islund are | turther improved and the people are | better able to pay local taxes. Tl Porto Rico tarift expires by limitation March 1, 1902, but it provides that| “whenever the legislative assembly of | Porto Rico shall have enacted and put fnto operation a system of local taxa-| tion to meet the necessitles of the gov ernment of Porto Rico, by this act es tablished, and shall by resolution duly | 1o o | sucd u be to make proclamation thereof, and there- upon all tarl! duties on merchandise golng between the two countries shall cease.” It is thus for the people of Porto Rico to say whether tariff du ties shall remain or be abolished. REVOLT AGAINST TAMMANY. Greater New York will elect @ mayor and other city officials next year and alveady there is talk of a non-partisan movement to rid the city of the baneful domination of Croker and the political organization of which he is the chief. | Both republicans and democrats favor the movement, which contemplates the nomination of men of high character who will command the contidence of all good citizens. Referring to this the New York Tribune says that never be- fore has Crokerism been so unblushing | in its Iniquity, so brutal in its tyraun and so flagrant in its mwlessness this year. “The Crokerized chief of polics says the Tribune, “sneering at the systematic debauchment and ruin of young women with a “we don't mind that sort of thing,' and later ordering the police force to autagonize the law- ful authority of the state, and the brutal boss himself fluunting vile insults in the fa of the ecitl-| zens and explicitly luelting violence and crime at the polls—these were the spectacles presented by that consun mated and sublimated Crokerism to which Mr. Bryan was morigaged.” It 18 sald that Tumwany collected, or rather exacted by its blackmailing meth- ods, more than a willion dollars for campaign purposes from the gambling dens, saloons, brothels and other places of vice in the metropolis. The woney for the demonstrations to the demo cratic caudidate for the presidency came from these sources. The movement for the overthrow of | Tammany will have the sympathy and encouragement of good citizens every- where, for that political organization {s a reproach to the entire country. While its villaines are local, yet in the opinlon of the world they are a reflec- tion upon the character of the whole American people.

IRRIGATION PROBLEMS, Problems Ripe for Discassion st & Convention <ansas City Star. irrigation congress s to be held iu Chicago November 21 to 24, Whether the assembly accomplishes any- thing or not, the subject of its discussion appeals to thoughtful citizens. Both po- litlenl parties have pledged their sup. port to plans for reclaiming the arld lands of the west. Preliminary work has already been done by the government in survey- ing sites for reservoirs and for forest reser- vations While private enterprise has accomplished much for irrigation, it cannot be expected {0 carry out the operatfons on vast scale, The preservation of forests, for instance, which has an lmportant {nfluence on rain- fall, cannot be intrusted to private enter- prise. The sources of supply can be con- trolled by the government, but not readily by individuals. The last year book of the Department of Agriculture says that priv- ate irrigation has practically reached fits Hmit and that in many instances it 1s prov ing a losing business. The reason for this fatlure would not exist in the case of gov- ernment operations Litigation over water and land rights and the difficulty of securiug & title to the land to bo irrigated have stood in the way of tndividual investors. Thero are few people in the arid regions &nd an agri population must induced to move into them. During the long delay in securlug inhabitants for the reclaimed lands they would be a losing investment. The settlers, too, would largely be men without money who could not pay for water until they had made savings from the sale of crops. These risks mako the reclaiming of the arid lands an uniovitng fleld for the capitalist The government, with the facilitles at its command, could afford to make gluning on this work with tho expectation of getting back eventually might put in.
