RIPARIAN RIGHTS.

Since the decision OF the Supreme Court
was rendered, to the effect that the
waters of this State are to be controlled
under the English common law doctrine
of riparianism, the question Of abrogating
this doctrine SO far rs it relates TO this
State, is being briskly agitated. When
the matter is fully understood by the
people, there will be little opposition to
the abrogation of riparianism, as the cx-
istencc of the State demands that the
doctrine shall be denied.
Riparianisln simply means that the
waters of stream must proceed in then
natural condition through their natural
channels TO the sea, 50 long as any dwell
er on the banks requires that they shall
coutin;te to flow there. The owners ol
land along the stream have the right to
use the water, and none can deprive
them of IL without their consent The
reason for this is easily understood. In
England there is no irrigation, so the
greatest good to the greatest number was
accomplished by allowing the water to
remain in its natural channel, not be-
cause the dweller on the stream had a
peculiar right to the water, but because
the interests of the community were best
preserved in that way.
In California, the conditionsare entire
ly different. The demands OF mining
and the dry climate require that the
water OF the streams shall be diverted
from their channels in order TO bring
about the greatest good to the population.
In England there are neither gravel
mines nor irrigation, so the water does
the most good in the bed of the stream /;
here, because we mine and irrigate, the
water does a greater good away from it.
The early miners neither knew nor cared
much for riparianism. They diverted
the water Of streams into thousands OF
bitches, every one of which was a direct
violation OF the riparian theory. II
Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-06-26
THEY woNr RESIGN.

Some Of our San Francisco exchanges
are quietly intimating to the four ripari-
an Justices of the Supreme Court that
their resignation would be gratefully ac-
repted by the people, II rendered. While
that fact can hardly be disputed, we wish
10 caution our big brothers in the city
against placing much dependence upon
our justices acting upon their suggestion.
1t is no easy matter for third-rate law
yer to become possessed Of softly cush-
ioned seat on the supreme bench of q
great State like California, and when he
does get there, and begins to feel at home
among his judicial cronies, he isn't going
to be in hurry about coming down and
out Just because the people yearn to have
him shed his erniine. When those four
Justices perused those articles, we imag-
Inc that they promptly placed the tips OF
their judicial thumbs upon the points Of
their judicial noses and twirled their ju-
hicial fingers in the very faces of our con-
lemporaries. What tho irrigators most
need is TO got upon firm foundation to
work from, and with thst object in view,
we suggest that it be taken as self evident
that we will have to wait until the earth
has journeyed around the sun the consti-
ntionally allotted number Of times be-
ore we can proceed to elect SUCCESSORS 10
our erudite common law Justices Mean
ime let us fill the places that are soen to
be vacant with the right kind Of timber,
making no mistake while attempting to
do so.-lTulare Register, June 4, 1886.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-06-26

dwellers on the banks objected to this
diversion, and the riparian idea were
fully carried out, the water OF each stream
would proceed without interruption,
since nobody could irrigate even his own
land along the banks without diverting
and diminishing the water, nor mine
without impairing its quality. The main
tenance OF such theory in q climate
like this is entirely absurd. 1t has been
practically disregarded by the people of
the State until conflicting irrigation inter
ests in the San Joaquin Valley brought
forward riparianism. Irrigationists near
the mouth OF stream strive to prevent
others nearer the source from diverting
the water by urging riparianism. The
Supreme Court decides that in the alb
sence of anything TO the contrary, the
English common law must be recognized
and that riparian rights prevail.
What the whole State now needs is
statutory or constitutional enactments
fixing the existing water rights according
to priority OF claim, and regulating the
manner Of obtaining new water rights.
So far, there should be no dissension
among the people, but there will be
much difficulty in adjusting conflicting
interests under any law that can be de-
vised. This is only the beginning Of
question, the Importance Of which, SO far
as this State is concerned, will dwarf the
railroad problem.--[El Dorado County

THE SUPREME COURT.

On the great question of the day, Ir-
rigation vs. Riparian Rights-Prosperity
VS.. Desolation-thc Supreme Court now
stands as follows:
For Irrigation and Prosperity,-Morri-
son, Myrick and Ross.
For Riparian Rights and Desolation, -
Mckee, Thornton, Sharpstein and Nc
Kinstry.
On the first of January next the terms
of Office of Mckee and Myrick expire. 1t
is also stated that Justice Ross will re-
sign, as he has decided to do so twice
before, hut has as often deferred the day
1t is said, too, that the health of Chief
Justice Morrison is such that he is liable
at any time to resign. This would take
from the bench the only three men we
have thereon, and it would leave on the
bench three men that arc known to be
against US. We must therefore elect all
the members that are to be elected in
order to have majority Of one on this
question.
1t is said that attorneys throughout
the State arc now Of the opinion that
the Supreme Court as now organized
with departments is not success. Is ii
not good time to elect Legislature

rian proprietor's ownership OF the water
is 80 absolute that disuse cannot suspend
or destroy it. What then shall become
Of the riparian rights OF those who
possess the banks OF the dry bed which
the waters have abandoned? The next
flood may again turn the water that way
And so OF course their sacred rights must
also be condemned and paid for.
How shall the waters Of this and such
streams be condemned for public use in
farming neighborhoods II the riparian
doctrine Of the Court is to hold each
change of the channel must give a new
batch OF riparian proprietors to whom
educ compensation" must be paid, while
the owners OF the banks OF the old chan
nels will not abate their hopes and
claims.
And what shall be the measure of dam
ages to be paid by way Of due compensa-
tion to each riparian proprietor. Accord
ing to the common law doctrine, each is
entitled to have the flow Of the stream
undiminished in quantity and unim-
paired in quality, except by the reason
able use Of super-riparian owners. What
is the perpetual flow worth2 Shall we
value the land or the water2 The water
is the property which is to be condemned,
according to the Judges. And each ripa.
rian proprietor owns all of the water.
What is the value of 100000 inches OF
water an hour for all time to Gomez
But we tire OF these suggestions and
queries. And the more so since they are
in vain. The day will never come when
the practical difficulties Of the scheme Of
the learned Judges will have to be tested.

nized and handed down from the earliest
occupation Of the land by the whites
customs and laws having their necessary
foundation in the climatic and physical
conditions Of the country-have dedicated
the flowing waters to public use, and il
will take more than four Judges out oi
seven, to establish such plan or scheme
as we have been wasting time, perhaps,
in criticising. OF the Times, sat

TO THE ANTI-RIPARIAN VOTERS OF
CALIFORNIA.

Now is the time to organize for war
against Riparianism. We recommend
that you Immediately form Anti-Riparian
Irrigation Clubs, and adopt the accom-
panying Articles and Bylaws. In them
You will find the Anti-Riparian Irrigation
political creed.
Begin to enroll in Clubs at once. You
are forty thousand strong. Unite as one
man, speak with one voice, and vote with
one accord.
By union you can command as right
what you have yainly begged as favor.
Organize and you can have potent
voice in the selection Of Judges and Leg
islators. 1t is within your power to crush
the threatening evils OF Riparianism.
Fire the hearts Of the people with the
justice of your cause. Show political
parties that you have the strength and
the will to enforce what you demand.

Ocala last Thursday and placed in jail
for safe keeping. He produced quite a
sensation IN the jail last Saturday eve
ming about O'Clock. He complained to
prisoner i'll n neighboring cell that be

for match TO assist him. He was given
one but instead Of looking for the pail he
set fire to his bed clothes. They blszed
up lively and it made Fryer dance, whic b
aroused his neighaors who gave the
alarm. Sheriff Williams, who CHANGED TO
be at the Florida Southern depot, heard
the racket and rushed over, but only had
time TO see that the crazy man had sense
enough to extingulsh the flames by
pouring bucket of water on them. His
reason for the act was the hope OF release.
Drs. Moody and Gary have adjudged
him insane. 1t is said that love OF money
and his continually dwelling on its pos
session is the cause. He imagines be

therefore continue TO serve until an cleo
ton is held.
pursuant to the instructions OF the
iour controlling SYNOD. the Board of
directors OF the theological Seminary
met at Columbia Wednesday. DR.. Stacey
was elected president and Mr.. Law secre-
larry. The following resolution was
adopted: whereas, the four synCds
controlling this seminary have instructed
tnls BOARD to request the Rev. James
woodrow, d. D., for his resignation as
professor OF natural science in connec-
ton with revelation: That committee
consisting of the Rev. Messrs. Rogan and
thompson be appointed to walt
on Dr. Woodrow and make the
said request, and said committee
shall present DR.. Woodrow with q copy
OF this resolution" The committee pre-

row: "ln reply to the request which you
nave just handed me for my resignation
as professor OF natural science in connec-

tnat respectfully decline acceding to it."
mis- note was signed with DR.. WOOdrOw's

instructions received from the four con-
trolling synods of the Theological Semi
nary, that the Rev. James Woodrow,
DID,, be and he is hereby removed from
the chair of natural science in connection
with revelation, and that the secre-
tsry be directed 10 communl-
cate this action to DR.. Woodrow" The
board then went into an election for pro-
lessor Of didactic and pOlemIc theology.
The Rev. DR.. j. l., Girardeau was elected.
DR.. Girardeau replied, expressing his APP
probation of the confidence reposed in
him by his brethren, and stating that he
would consider the matter and give his
reply at the earliest practicable moment
1t was decided to postpone further cleo
lions of professors until the first Wednes-

houses were neat and comfortable, and
taken ali together the quarter was an at
tractive settlement. q. G. Hill, famil-
iRrly known as Pony" rode pony into
Albany every lmorniag. to attend the
academy. He was n tayorite with his
schoolmates, many OF whom to-day reside
IN Albany and remember his pleasant
manne- aud gentlemanly department.

trates tne sadness OF the lives of those
who were once its brightest ornaments.

Jured Robert George, who lived near DIX
onla. The accident, II accident II was,
happened about a mile beyond what is
known as Old DiXOnia. Engineer John
Green, VINO was 10 charge of the engine,
says that he saw a man walking on the
track ahead OF him. he saw tue man
mile, perhaps, before he overlook him.
As he neared the man he blew the whis-
tie. the man seemed 10 pay no attention
to the warning. When within fifty or
sevenuy-tive yards Of MIN, Mr.. Green
blew his whistle again, wnereupon the
man turned around, looked at the APP
preaching train and, turning again, de-
HOerately walked on as il indifferent 10
the approaching danger. Fearing that
something might be wrong with
the man, Mr.. Green applied his air brakes
and tried TO stop the train, but the pilot
struck the man aud seriously injured
him. He proved to be Mr.. George, who
had just left his daughters house. When
the train lett Dlxonia the man was still
alive, but no hopes were entertained for his
recovery. Engineer Green, who is an old
raiiroader, says this is the most peculiar
case that has ever come under his obser-
walton. He thinks that the man must
have deliberately stood on the track in
front Of the engine for the purpose Of be-
lng killed.
