The Ohio Senatort*»l Content. Foraker, of Ohio, aneCcada Hill, of New York, for the day aa a center of national interest. Hill made his ifpeeah Tnarsday. Foraker made hia yesterday. Both re▼ealed fbeir narrowness as mere fmlitleiaca. Foraker's was the most suceewfal for it was applied directly to bis personal ambitions. From that point of view it wu adroit and forcible. Looked at from tba aaoatoriai point of view it ia degrading. For one who expect* to be a United Btatea Senator to say ttat he eoald DO more be a member of the great party oppoaiog bis own than be could be a horse tbief, is to start reflect.ons on the degeneracy of our politics. It might no:, nerhaps, be so bad to huve foraker added unto Hill in the i^enate as to have Brica and otiur renreseiitutiTes of p.ulocracy there, i>ut it is oad enouirii to think of .John .Sherman t-eing turned down for the purpose.

We are hfartily opposed to the fact and the jiriiicipic, no niatlcr in what righteous cause it may be invoked. It is more Ilian an imptitinencc. it is a gross invasion of political freedom that Federal ollice-holdcrs should be allowed, to Buarm upon Stale p liiiics ior any politics casting the wuiglit of their ollii iaj position into the dcci.‘' on. it is a tyrannous inviisioii of local self-governnient, ditlereiit in (iegioe, but not in kind, from tile rutiiics.s methods of (iciniuny or lIu’iMa As a matter of self defense and 'll tense of fwceiiom I'nraker i.s justified ill hiM del'ance of Ihi.s i^iirig, which Seuotor ."iieiiimij liimseif acknowledges.

Horace ; Greeley may be credited with the first atj tempts of any eonseqaeDce in the way of j irrigating these desert lands, whea the I Union Colony, in 1S70, foamed that town I in Colorado which bears bit name. BeI cause of hostile Indians and lack : of railroad deTelopment.' however, j bot iittle of importance was i done nritii l!tj‘l. At that time I Sonthem California took the matter on and j has now 145,'XlO highly prodnetive acres • under irrigation. It is considered a matter of BO much importance that it ia uoder State control. Attention ia now directed I to Arizo.'ia, practically uninhabited because of its arid soil, which, it ia believed, ' may be rendered product.ve and valnable if properly irrigated. In the Gila river alone, which flows through the Territorr, is water enough to lertiliia thousand* of acres, and thera are several other large

streams.

1 Already five hundred thousand acres have been reclaimed .along tht&e river vaiieys, and now a nc.w organization has ' been J- rrned, c&be'l th>* Castle Home Canal Company, and has put iti stock in ; the marked II p.-ojioses al a Coat of ha); a miilion 'iol.ars to buiid a canal .sixty miles long, which wi 1 cover, with its : tranches, three hundred thoa.i.'ind acres. Jn .Ar.runa the common law prevails : which give* a ■nested right in water the tame as in lan'i. i'v the col.^t. ucilon of . this dit'-ii the comiiti.'iv bee'Tie owners of ’ the water within it, and mav levy such tribute upon la.-.d-owners a-s they choote to e.ia t.

IrrltrHtl. n hi .Vr zoim. Tiie qiiestuvn of irrigation is likely to increase in iiutiortance as the fertile Western lands become taken up by settlers and only the arul portions are let:. The CifcT.t American i>eaert is by no means the vast region it was supposed to be years ago. but there is stiii a large part of the United 6taie.s that can not b« used tor agneulvural purposes for lack of moisture. The eastern bouuvNry of this de<ert runs through the center ot Kansas ami Nebraska; the western boundary is the Pactflo mountain range extending almo.st to the ocean. This comprises nearly twofifths of the United estates. Wliat drainage is to the farms in the easUwu and central parts of tbe country, irrigation will be to thee^ dry and unproductive lands. It is believed by those who have aiade a study of this subject that not less than 24o,0t«),0(K) acres, or eight times the area of New York t^tate. are capable of being reclataed if they can be supplied with water.

Hr. Francis William Loring, who is now vistting his native country, is one of the leaders of th,e Americad colony in Florence, where he has a studio. He was a major in the Federal army during the civil war and aide-de-camp to General Emory in the Red River expedition. It is said to have cost the Englishman who bought ten buffaloes from “Buffalo Jones,” of Kansas, $‘25,800 to purchase and get them across the Aliantic. They were bred in Mauitoba. Their new home' is the park of Hagerston castle, in Northumberland. But think of the price, when millions were butchered for fun a dozen vean

The John Brown monument erected at Oisawatomie, where Senator Ingalls delivered the oration, is an ordinary shaft, not more than ten feet high and disappointing to the carious visitor. Of late it has become more a monument to the spirit of American vandalism tlian to the man it commemorates, for it ha* been chipped and scarred and carved by relic-hunters and is covered with pencil marks. The Academy of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, has re.solved to send a relief expedition to the Arctic regions next summer to search tor Lieutenant Peary and his wife. Professor Heiljiriii, who commanded the last academy expedition to Greenland, has been authorized to arrange the details of th? relief expedition. It will probably sail direct for Peary’s winter quarters, to which he is expected to return during the svmmer, and on the return trip will continue the exploration of the coast of Greenland, a work which was interrupted last year for want of coal. It ts likely that a new party will be organized, most of the members of the former expedition haying bad enough of it. Specimens of what was probably the original corn of this country hayo been found in a mound on the farm of A. J. Jferoer, near Burden, Kas., last spring. Among the things nueartiied was a sealed jar, and in this the corn was stored, Tha relic* found with the corn are si ailtr to those taken from the mounds of Ohio and Illinois, which would determine their age to be more than one thousand vears. Mr. Mercer thought it would be a bright idea to plant a patch of ground with the grain, and he was rewarded by seeing it sprout, thrive, and mature. The 'ears have now been harvested. They are six i&ches long, and the kernels are about one-fourth the size of ordinary corn. From this stock the large and handsome grain of to-day known as Indian corn may have been produced by many seasons of cultivation. The right arm is always a little larger than the lett, but tha left foot is aimoat always larger than the right, presumably because, while nearly every man uses hia right arm to lift a weight o'r strike a blow, he almost invariably kicks with his left foot, while the iounger siauds oa his left leg and lets his right lali easily, because be has learned by experience that this is the beat attitude he can assume to prevent lassitude and fatigue. This constant bearing of the weight on the lefjt foot makes it wider than the right, and it often happens that a man who tries on a shoe on tbe right foot and gets a close fit has to discard the aboea altogether, because he can not endure tho rain caused by the lightnesa of the left. If. when riding on a #rreet-ear, you will take the trooblAto notice, you will see that in laced shoes tbe gap ii> smaller on tho right foot than on the left, while with button shoes the buttons have to be set bark ten times on tbe left shoo to once on the

The published reports of the dishonest practices of Russian officials in connect on With the food products intended for tho starving people, are calculated to discourage the public spirit in this country which is interested in collecting and forwarding supp'.Los to the famine d’litricts. It has been suggested that tne distributions should bo placed in the liands of private organizations in Russia which possess the confidence of the people, but tho Czar will not permit this to be done. With so many urgent appeals for charity as are constantly made at home, it may be a question with some whether the United States is called upon to sand supplies to u country so many thousand miles away and separated from ua by the wealthiest nations of it.s own continent, but if it is decided to send them we should have the most trustworthy assurance that they shall be delivered intact 10 the people for whom

they are intended.

It la no cro<Ut to the State of Tennessee that her stockades have been rebuilt and enlarged, and a standing army with Gatling guns placed in charge, to protect convict labor against the demands of honest labor. It is galling, indeed, tor men who are willing to toil in the mines for the bjireit subsistence I'or themselves aad families, to see eveu this poor privilege denied them and the bread taken out of their children’s mouths by convict labor, for the enrichment of contractors. Tho situation is a hard one, and legal methods should be tound, and found quickly, to change the existing conditions which have brought about this un-

banpy crisis.

Dh. I.YMCN Abbott is quoted as saying that the Ton Coiumandments are Jewish, and not C'hristian, ordinances, and should be removed from our churches. It has been generally puppose.d that they were of divine origin, but, through w hatever instrumentality they were delnered, they contain the essence of correct living. Their prohibitions are as applicabla to the'present generation, and will ba to all who come after, as they were to those for whom they were written. Asa codeot morals they c.in not bo improved, and neither tho j church, the state nor society can afford to

abolish them.
