It in generally understood that the new tariff will b ready for the president's signature on June 1st It Is to be hoped that there will be no disappoint iim'HI in thin an tinkering With the tariff unsettles business generally imil In many lines brings trade to a standstill. Of course, we must, have tariff changes, but three or six months discussion of the sub ject In a good deal of I line worse t han wasted. During the punt, six months the country luis experienced a presiden tial election and a tariff revision, both disquieting necessities. These things have come close together and the result hsis been tbnt rll lines of trade are feeling the effect. It . true the evils which follow these things are largely in anticipation, but for the time being they are quite real; for Instance during a presiden tial election the people nssuine that the result may be a victory for the opposition party and this would bring about not only change In poli cies but change In nearly every de partment of the Federal govern ment. When It comes to tariff re vision this affects our trade relations with foreign countries and, to some extent, our home trade, nnd our manufacturing Interests. Tho un certainties as to what congress will do holds In check tho Industries and upsets financial operations, There is only one help that can be pointed out and that Is to elect a president for nn eight or ten gears' term and make tariff schedule to be In force for n definite period. This would, to n very largo extent, protect the business Interests of the country and add to tho prosperity of tho whole people. , IRRIGATION CONGRESS. On August tho ninth, this year, tho seventh national Irrigation con gress will be hold in Spokane, state of Washington, and will be In session six days. This will bo ono of the great events In the history of Irriga tion In this country and this county should lui represented by at least three delegates; one chosen by the county court, another by the Irriga tion company, nnd still another by tho-mayor of the city. The object to be attained by this convention are four In number nnd they are to "save the forests, store the floods, reclaim the deserts and make homes on the hind." The subjects to be discussed will lie the wonderful development through Irrigation, drainage, deep water ways, ,;ood roads and home building; and to show to the east the economic iin (nn lance to tH, whole country id this development.

There are people In every state In the union who will endorse such an exposition, as It means much to our whole country. The landing of the pilgrim fathers was practically the coiner stone upon which afterwards was bullded the American republic. The compact entered into in the cabin of the .May flower by those sturdy pioneers was In effect a constitution, an organic law, to which we point with pride nearly three centuries afterwards. It was a declaration of principles which have taken form and shape, where the right, to worship God ac cording to the dictates of humnn conscience Is marked on the lintels of every home In this free republic.
