THE NAvIGABLE RIVERS.

The REcoRD-UNIoN's jealousy Of any
assaults upon the navigable rivers of Cali
fornia for irrigation or any other purposes
is not to be taken as an antagonism to irri-
CATION systems for California, the need of
which for the broadcast useful application
of the waters of the State to the lands of
the people is fully appreciated by us, and
most ardently desired. We take it that
the State can consent TO no policy what
ever that will endanger, for instance, the
navigability of the Sacramento river sub
iect its waters to diversion to the injury of
its channel, or the deterioration of its
Carrying, discharge or securing capacity,
or indeed that will starye IL by such di-
version of its natural tributaries as will
produce such results. By the compact
under which California was admitted into
the Union, she is bound to permit nothing
that will impair these streams, or de-
stroy their navigability No legislation
will be effective that does not keep this
compact clearly in view. While for COM
mercial reasons these rivers must be pre-
served, the climatic conditions of the val
leys they drain demand that their flow
shall continue. But there is waste water
and to the use OF such surplus, under
proper control of the Government, there
can be no reasonable objection.

THE NEW DEAL.

The English Empire is about to install
new Ministry. New engineers are 10 be
put in charge, and it now devolves on the
Tories to run the machinery with greater
care than has ever before been given it.
They have no easy task. The 206 Glad
stonian and Parnellite followers will be
constantly on the alert to trip the heels of
the Cabinet. Let US watch now for the
fulfillment Of the Conservative programme
to "erush the Irish Nationalist" and rule
Ireland with the hand gloved in steel.
That it will prove failing policy we sin
cerely believe. In this day of the nine
tenth century, a people English speaking
and with the example of successful demo-
cratic government before them, cannot be
ruled satisfactorily without their consent.
To this England must come, sooner or later.
Instead of the "resolute rule Lord Sails
bury promises, We look for an effort to steal
Gladstone's thunder, and to paeifcate Ire
land with underground policy. So far
as the Tories are concerned it will be the
safer policy.

MEXICAN HATRED OF AMERICANS

The United States Government de-
! manded peremptorily the release of Cut
ting, an American citizen imprisoned at
Paso del Norte, Mexico The local Mex
lean officials now as peremptorily refuse to
to comply, and say, with a sheer, that they
will obey no orders except they come from
the,Government of the State of chihuahua.
In procuring these orders the officials are
taking their own time, and very leisurely,
too. In the meanwhile the pris-
oner is treated brutally and is slowly sink
ing by reason of the night sweats to which
his close dungeon subjects him. Evidently
these Mexican officials have small respect
for the United States of America. That
Mexicans generally dislike Americans is
no secret. The Germans and English, in
pushing their own commercial interests,
do all they can to foster this hatred OF
g Yankees" The result isithat when one
of our people falls into the clutches of the
Mexican law it fares badly with him. Only
few days ago a Constable shot down an
American citizen on the order of Mexi-
can Justice of the Peace, without shadow
of excuse. American citizens have, over
and over again, been squeezed to extort
tax money" while other foreigners have
been but gently coerced. In all ways they
dare, the Mexicans put our people to an
noyance, and treat them with indignities
where there is the slightest possible APP
parent excuse for it. 1t is time all this
sort of thing stopped. 0nr people travel
to the borders, but only rarely cross over,
for it is thoroughly well known that such
welcome as they receive is plated and un-
generous. The mere tourist, however,
fares better than the American who
goes to Mexico ON commercial
enterprise, or who lives near the
border, and is, by reason of business, COM
PEELED frequently to cross it, while the
American merchant and shipper in
Mexico, of all others discover soonest
how much of genuine dislike, not to say
hatred of the American, there is ill-con-
eealed beneath the formalities of the So
cial exterior. This condition of things is
not growing better; on the contrary, it
steadily grows worse. The cause for it is
in some degree due to our own folly, ne
elect and arrogance, but most largely it is
due to German and English influence in
Mexico. The ways to the correction of

THE San Francisco Report apologies,
and declares the Governors message was
published in advance by mistake. OF
course no paper hoping to maintain any
shadow of public respect can afford to give
its word and then violate it. Since the
Report declares its act was accidental, the
message being in type and being mad
vertantly put into the form,o the state
ment must be accepted. Yet if we re-
member Alright the lines prefacing the
message in the Report read that it was the
message the Governor rould present to the
Legislature. Which is strange.

IT now develops ON the trial of the Chi
cage Anarchists, that while the people OF
that city knew the rascals were holding
meetings weekly, and threatening to kill
men and women and destroy property, they
did not know that the assassins were de-
liberately connecting conspiracy to over
throw local, State and national Govern
ment. Of course their efforts would have
proved puerile, but just the same they de-
serve punishment, and just the same Mayor
Harrison deserves censure for permitting
the conspirators to preach treason, Ere and
murder.

It is well said by Chancellor Kent: 1T
is requisite that the Courts of Justice should
deal impartially aud truly, according to
law, between suitors of every description
whether the cause, the question, or the
party be popular or unpopular. To give
them the courage and the firmness to do it,
the judges ought to be confident of the Sc
curlty of their salaries and station" And
Mr. Justice Storey declares that where
there is no judicial department to interpret,
pronounce and execute the laws, decide
Controversies and to enforce rights, the
Government must either perish by its own
imbecility, or the other departments of
Government must usurp powers for the
purpose of commanding obedience, to the
destruction Of liberty. The will of those
who govern will become, under such cir
cumstances, absolute and despotic; and it
is wholly immaterial whether power is
vested in a single tyrant, or in an assembly
of tyrants."
The penetrating genius OF Montesquieu
saw, even in his day, the necessity for q
complete independence of the judicial
power, and in his Spirit Of Laws " he
tersely says that there is no liberty if the
judiciary power be not separated from the
legislative and executive powers"
