Temperance Union.

The regular monthly meeting OF the

Mrs. Col. Breeden. The ladies are en-
deavoring to make arrangements to have
the popular temperance lecturer, Col.

less than three nights, at an early date.
He is said to be one of the best and
most eloquent advocates of the subject on
the American platform.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
SAYS of his address in that city: ''The
address was full of forcible illustrations
and telling hits
The Times, of Hartford, Conn, says !;
"Woodford had good audience in the
Pearl street church last evening. He had
the closest attention, and many of his
hearers testify that it was the most salts

heard"

WATER LEGISLATION.
Practical Irrigator's Suggestions OH
House Bill No. 81.

Hon. J. D. Romburg, formerly mem
Der Of the Arizona assembly, and now
south Santa Fe county, is in the city to-
day and makes some suggestions which
may be of service to the law makers in
arriving at practical solution OF the water
rights question. His ideas are based on
the successful operation of the Arizona
and California law, and if it is adopted
no doubt the bill now pending in the
house, No. 81, may be so modified as to
meet the approval OF farmers and fruit
growers of all classes and from every sec
ton of the territory. Instead OF providing
for "three commissioners and treasurer
who shall serve without pay, as the pres
ent bill contemplates, Mr.. Rom
burg would alter the bill so
that "three directors shall have com
plete control of every irrigating ditch and
its laterals The people owning lands
irrigated by this ditch and its lateral
branches shall be entitled to one vote for
each acre or fraction of an acre of land SO
owned, and the evidence of their interest
in the water shall be share OF printed
stock, issued by the board OF directors,
and which shall bear the name of the
person to whom 1t is issued and state the
number OF acres or fractional parts of an
acre owned by such person. Every acre
or fraction thereof shall entitle the owner
to one vote at the election OF directors.
Directors shall employ superintendent
and secretary, and one OF its members
shall act as treasurer, and they shall
make rules for the collection of 80 much
water tax as may be necessary
to keep the bitches in repair
and pay salaries, taxing each man accord
ing to the land he owns and the water he
may use, and the directors shall NEE
once a month and remain in session NO
longer than two days, receiving 81 a day
each for actual service at such meeting
The water shall be distributed pro rata BY
hours to all consumers alike, and printed
rules, similar to those now in force
in Arizona, shall be issued by th'
directors and shall 60 into all details o
water government, such rules being ap
proved by the judge OF the district cour
and being framed in the simplest languag
possible, so that all may comprehend
them.

SUN
for
1889
And for the Democracy.

The Sun believes that the campaign for the
election OF Democratic congress in 1880 and a
Democratic president in 1892 should begin on or
about the 4th OF next March. The Sun VIII
be on hand at the beginning and until the end OF
the most interesting and important political con-
hict since the war, doing its honest utmost, as
ever, to secure the triumph OF the Democratic
party and the permanent supremacy of the prin-
cipes held by Jefferson Jackson and Tilden.
The great fact of the year is the return to ABB
solute power of the common enemy of all good
Democrats-the political organization for whose
overthrow The Sun fought at the front for fifteen
years, the memorable years of Grant and the
Fraud Hayes, and Garfield and Arthur
It is the same old enemy that Democrats now
confront, and he will be lntrenched in the same
strong position 1t has been carried once by
brave and hopeful fighting. Do you not believe
with The Sun that the thing can be done again?
Wait and see!
! The hone of the Democracy Is in the loyal
efforts of n united press, cherishng no memories
OF past differences in non-esscntlais, forgetting
everything but the lessons OF experience, and
| that victory is a duty
Probably you know The Sun already as a
newspaper which gets all the news and prints It
in incomparably interesting shape; which
chronicles facts as they occur and tells the truth
about men and events with absolute fearlessness,
making the completest and most entertaining
journal published anywhere on earth; and which
sells its opinions only to It's subscribers and pur-
chasers at two cents copy--on Sundays four
cents If you do not know The Sun send for 1t
and learn what wonderful thing 1t Is to be In
the sunshine.

that there would be an earnest effort

are reported to be willing to withdraw
their objection to the division Of Dakota,
if their stand in favor of including New
Mexico is accorded them.
An outspoken sentiment in the senate
