AufI-DsBRIs GuARD.

ANfI-DsBRIs GUARD.
The Anti-Debris Guard held thti. regular
meeting at Anti-Debris headquarters last
evening.
The Committee on By laws and Order of
Business reported such bylaws, and after
some amendments they were adopted.
In behalf Of George Cadwalader and in his
name, l. n. Hosg presented the Guard with
regaiia or uniform for each member. MIR.
Hosg called the attention of the members to
the sky-blue color of the sashes of the private
members of the Guard-its significance being
that the Guard claimed that they and all the
people of the valleys were entitled to and
must receive the water from the mountains
through the rivers in its normal condition,
clear and transparent as God had made it.
These waters are free gift of nature and no
one has right to pollute or destroy them for
the common uses OF the people. He pointed
out that the trimmings were red, white and
blue-the colors of the fig of our country.
He who trains under these colors must be
true to his country, her institutions and her
laws. These institutions and laws enforce
the maxim or rule OF action that sill
persons must 60 conduct themselves as
not to interfere with the rights OF
others, and SO use their property as not
to ipjure the persons and property of Others
The gold ard silver bullion on the officers
regaiia was significant that the Guard re-
garded these metals as the basis or measures
of all commercial values. and that while the
Guard would uphold all lawful modes of ex-
tracing them from the earth, they would
Insist on the stopping of all unlawful modes
of mining, especially when such mining did
great and irreparabls damage to other and
greater interests Of the State. While the
Guard has Captain and Lieutenants, this
designation has no military significance,
except that these officers will act as
Marshals while the Guard may
be On paraie-and it is hoped
occasion may never occur when the Guard
shall be called on, except as citizens in civil
capacity, to sustain and enforce the laws
but should the time ever come when the laws
have to be enforced by military force and
power, be trusted the members of the Guard
would be among the first to respond to the
call of the proper authorities, and, il need be,
to take up arms in defense of their natural
and lawful rights The Law, as declared by
Judge Temps, is and ever will be the very
foundation of property rights and civil juris.
prudence, and it is well for young men thus
early in life to plaza themselves on record as
opposed to the least infringement of those
rights. The day is not far distant when this
valley, THESE lertlt6 nelus, Lnese caVigaDl6
rivers, and all that pertains to this wonder
fully productive State, will become the inner
itsnce OF the young men of the State. con-
jure you to preserve the lands of the valley
in their natural condition and fertility, and
the waters OF the rivers In their natural
purity and value.
The President of the Guard, Thomas Fox,
responded in neat speech, thsnking Me-
Cadwalsder for the present of the regalia :
