An Irrigation Note of Interest.

Yesterday, in chambers, Judge Ell
lott made decision in reference to
the irrigation law which is of vefy
great interest to all farmers and ditch
owners. II N. Haynes, the irrigation
referee for water district Nos which
is the largest irrigation district in the
State, having filed his report and
record of testimony, certain parties,
by their counsel, requested the Judge
TO make the necessary rules to bring
proceed to adjudicate on the priority
of right to water of the several ditch
cs in the district. Judge Elliott re-
fused to make anv such rules, hold
ing that the statute was fatally de-
tective, in that it did not make any
provisions to bring parties into court
to be heard. This decision, if correct,
practically makes the irrigation act
nulity, and acts of the referees
useless and all the expenses incurred
by farmers aud ditch owners in offer
ing testimony without effect. Ac-
cording to this ruling the priority of
right to water can only be dctermin-
ell by ordinary judicial proceedings,
as if no irrigation law had been enact
ed. 1t is probable that the correct
ness of this ruling will be tested by
proceedings in mandamus in the su-
preme court, compelling Judge Eli
OFT to adiudcate questions of priori-
ty as intended by the legislature. If
the supreme court sustain Judge Ell
liott, of course the writ Of manGamus
will be Genied.-[Denver Tribune.

The HORRIBLE CONDITION IN YER
MoNT.-Colonel Worthington, who
has been employed to gather statis-
tics relating to the labor and wages
in the various States of the Union,
reports that the average wages for
labor in the State of Vermont is con-
siderably less than in any State north
of Mason and DiXon's line.
Governor Proctor, i'll n recent
speech in the town, stated that a
large increase in the number of con-
victed criminals in this State was q
catee of the greatly increased cost
Oils government. He reported
the number of criminals to be nearly
three times as many as it was a few
years ago.
Judge Dunton stated in his charge
to the Grand jury last September
that the amount paid for iLtoxlcat-
ing liquors consumed i'll this State III
the year 1870 was SG, 700, 900, and it
had increased in amount since that
time. Now, this would furnish to
every voter in the State forty-tive
gallons of rum at 81 a gallon, u
quantity sufficient to keep every one
of them drunk 800 days in every
year.
Vermont has always been under
Republican rule.
Thus it should appear that the
State of Vermont is remarkable for
hive things, viz:
1t has the largest per cent. of
crime.
The lowest wages.
The least gain in population.
1t drinks the most rum.
And has the largest Republican
majority.

Make Honest Change.

ED. STANDARD:
The article in last weeks STANDARD
is timely, and I agree with the writ
er that it is high time to stop the
small leaks in the cost of the neces-
saries of life. Economy is virtue
which should be cultivated at all
times, and especially when " hard
times" renders the small change in
ones pocket at times lonesome, if that
useful recsptical is not, indeed. as
bare as the mythical contribution
box.
1t has grown to be practice on
the Pacific coast, and especially in
our own town of dealing. in " bits. /"
Such piece of money is not known
to our laws, but the Americans like
to ape the aristocrat, and all things
coming from any people or govern
ment but their own, sounds so nice
and looks SO pretty you know. Some
times q " bit" is 10 cents, sometimes
12A. Suppose we deal in our own
money and use cents, dimes, and
dollars; aud then suppose when We
charge dime fol an article that we
give the right and honest change,
Is cents. It is to the interest of the
seller and the purchaser that proper
small change be used in all our trans
actions. The practice Of our mer-
chants is injurious to themselves and
a wrong upon the poor people who
are compelled to deal with them.
Why not hsrs, as in other places, be
able to buy one, two. three, four or
FIVE cents worth, and get our proper
and honest change? We will sup
pose a case of a poor family having
25 cents to expend for their break
faat. The wife goes. Or sends 70 the
meat market, and buys ten cents'
worth of meat. She receives in ex-
change for her quarter-dollar very
small piece OF meat, and ten cents.
Here the trader sells her q dimes
worth and charges fifteen cents. Is
ithonest? Is it fair? She now wants
to divide her ten cents for bread, and
coffee, or small portion of some 9TH
er necessary article. Sbe must pur-
chase all bread, or all coffee. She
can't get any change. If she buys
five cents worth, the dime is retained,
and so accordingly to this dishonest
system she has only purchased Is
cents worth with her 25 cents. She
can't divide in change and 60 into
two or three business places and buy
q small portion of the articles she
may absolutely need. And this is
honorable business! 1t is said our
merchants buy up our small change
as fast as it gets into circulation in
our town ard refusing to use it, thus
prevent its use. This is an evil in
furious to our people or any people
that practice it, and it should not be
sanctioned by community profess
ing to be progressive.

PARIS, Nov. ], 1880.

| The Day OF the De0O-Ine fOp0'0 Aot.
ter--Female Cigar Makers.
PARIS, Nov. !, 1880.
All Saints Day is kept as very
general holiday in Paris, and almost
all the shops have been closed since
midday. The majority of the The
atres have opened their doors for
morning performances, and the rain,
which came on early in the after
noon, had the result OF driving
crowds of idlers, who did not know
what to do with their holiday,
into every place Of entertainment.
Scarcely were the afternoon audi
ences got rid of than the evening
spectators began to assemble in the
rain round the re-closed doors. To-
morrow is the "Jour des Morts," the
day set apart for the purpose OF pay
ing respect to departed relatives.
All the cemeteries will he crowded
| tomorrow, but numbers of persons
have already taken advantage OF
yesterdays and to-day's holiday to
pay their annual visit to the tombs
of those they love. There is, un-
happily, something repulsive in the
commercial aspects of the ceremony.
The immense number of booths for
the sale of wreathes of immortelles
to be found at the entrance of every
cemetery lend to the neighborhood
much of the hustle of the fair. But
this is unavoidable, and the anima-
ton to be discerned on every face
must by no means be taken as
proof of incincerity on the part of
the mourners. That the duty is
considered to be serious, may be
seen in the mere fact that nearly
100000 persons visited the various
cemeteries in the neighborhood Of
Paris during the day of yesterday
alone. At eight o'clock this morn
ing a touching ceremony commenced
in the churches of Paris known as
the "Octare des Norts." Every
morning this week a mass is said
for all the parshioners who have
died during the past twelvemonth,
and whose names are affixed either
to q pillar or to the sacristy door.
ApropoS of this lugubrious time Of
year, it may be stated that COM
mission having reported in favor of
cremation, q society has just been
established with the object of secur-
ing legal protection for the custom,
and adherants are requested to send

There is every reason to suppose
that the innovation will especially

A Rough Diamond.

amusing experience was told us yes
tsrday by one of the most promin-
ent railroad managers Of the West
ern States, which, on our promiso
not to divulgs the names of the par

Religion and Politics.
Portland Standard.

Portland Standard.
1t has often been o wonder 10 us
how some, making loud profession
OF religion, can vote for candidates
whose characters are but a synonym
of moral pollution, and it has often
been q wonder to us whether over
one in a thousand of the professed
Church members ever inquired as to
the duty and obligations they owe
to the profession they have made.
Really one can see no difference be-
tween the political conduct of the
professed Christian and the most
pronounced non-professor and pub
licist. We have seen them vote for
men who had nothing to commend
them to their support but the fact
that they we're the candidates OF
their party. Indeed, it is incredible
to think that a man who had but a
few years ago been convicted by his
own party Of selling his political in
fusnce for money, could command
their vote for the highest Office in
the Republic. These charges were
iterated and reiterated again and
again during the campaign. and the
weakness and criminality Of Gar
field, charged in the most explicit
terms and proved by overwhelming
evidence from his own party, and
their contradiction demanded. Now,
these would be considered pure
church members cannot excuse them
selves by saying that they did not
believe the charges for they were
not those made by the Democrats,
but they were the charges made by
their own party, both as to Garfield
and Arthur, and we have not the
least doubt but that many Of these
very religious people did, in their
own hearts, know and believe. if
only that silly and unnatural and
unchristian prejudices would have
permitted them to have done their
duty to the cause they profess to
maintain, they either would not
have voted at all or have voted for
Hancock, against whom not one
word could be said, and who has
passed through the campaign un-
scathed. But if there religious peo-
pie claim that they were not con-
vinced Of the turpitude Of Garfield
what have they TO say about Chester
A. Arthur. Their Republican Pres
ident and Secretary Of tho Treasury
said he must be removed as Collec-
tor of Customs at New York, because
he had persistently prostituted the
public service to favoriteism and pro-
figacy and bad resisted every effort
of the Administration. to enforce
economy and integrity. There was
not the least attempt to conceal the
grounds on which Arthur was re.
moved. Both the President and
Secretary stated to the committee of
the Senate and to Arthur himself
that his removal was demanded for
the fragrant debauching of the public
service, and Republican Senate ac-
cepted the judgment of the Presi-
dent and confirmed his appointse in
Arthur's stead, and in the face Of all
this fully half million of professors
of religion, deliberately voted for
these men. Truly, what is religion
but a name?
