DECISION AFFIRMED.
The Supreme Court Renders an Opin-
ion in Tulare County Case.

The supreme Court Renders an Opin-
ion in n Tulare County Case.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the
decision OF the Superior Court of Tulare
County in the case of Lindsay Irrigation
Company VS.. William Mehrtens and
others, appellants.
The company was incorporated for the
purpose of supplying water for irriqa-
ton and domestic use to the farming
neighborhood surrounding and living
contiguous to the town of Lindsay in Tu-
!are County, and sought in the proceed
lngs to condemn certain lands for the pur-
pose OF constructing a ditch or canal
through which TO conduct water from
haWeah River to said farming neighbor-
hood.
Judgment was rendered in favor of the
plalntlf for condemnation of the land
sought to be appropriated by it, and fix
ing the amount of damage which should
be paid by 1t to each defendant for the
land taken from him. In their appeal
from this judgment the argument Of the
appellants was directed chiefly to an at
tempt TO show that the land to which the
plalntlt seeks to conduct the water is not
farming neighborhood, and that the
supplying OF water to that land is not a
public use, and therefore the plaintiff
cannot exercise the right of eminent do
main for purpose of taking their lands.
The Supreme Court says: The right
OF the State to take private property Tor
public use is an inherent element of its
sovereignty, and its exercise is restrained
only by the limitations contained in the
Constitution. % The term farm
ing nGighborhood' is an indefinite ex-
preston, and whether it can be applied
10 any particular tract of land must be
determined by evidence. a farming
neigh Dorhood may be defined as a region
in which there are several tracts of farm
Ing lana with proximity of location,
and Which can be regarded as whole
with reference to some common interests.

and held in individual proprietorship.

Blaine. he did not know whether the
form of this Government was a monarchy
or otherwise. He had been too busy
working to pay much attention to such
matters during the six years he had lived
In Sacramento.
The Judge thought that anyone wishing
to obtain citizens rights and privileges
should first attain to some little knowl-
edge of the form of government under
which he wished to live, but finally told
him he would consider the matter and he
could appear before him this morning for

The CHINESE IN HAWAII.

Some Of our labor associations have OBJ
jpcted to the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands on the ground that when the islands
were American territory the Chinese resid-
ing there you'd have the right to emgrate
20 other American Territories or States.
This objection. however. appears to have
been considered by the following dispatch
received by General Dimond and forwarded
to THE CALL:
General ". II. DiDoond: No Chinese viii be
allowed 10 come 10 The United States from the
Hawaiian Islands. LoR Rim A. THURsToN.
It is assumed,that the treaty annexing the
islands to the United States will make es-
pecial provision against the immigra ton Of
Chinese now in the Islands to the United
States. 1t is we'll known that the Chinese
laboreTs in che Islands are under contracts
which provide for their return to China at
the expiration of their term of bondage.
Under these conditions il Is probably within
the scope Of treaty TO withhold from con-
tract laborers rights which free men would
acquire by the incorporation of the islands
into the American Union, either as a State
or TarrftoFu

GLADsToNE's DAY IN COURT.

Whether or not Gladstone succeeds in
deyising a bome-rule bill for Ireland that
will be accepted by England. he has added
to his already achieved greatness in the at
&c pt. he approaches the subject with an
impartiality of which, among English
statesmen, he possesses monopoly. Read
ing his speech. one would not know
whether he was English or Irish. Absolute
Justice is the aim OF his endeayors. He
seems not to want anything for Ireland
which, in his opinion, England should not
De willing to grant. Whether he can take
Parliament up to his high plane remains to
be seen. II he fails, the outlook for home
rule in Ireland will not be brilliant.
Whea Abraham Lincoln received the
swcrl Of the Confederacy, he regarded the
task Of restoring the Union as scarcely less
difficult than that of compelling the Sc
ceders 10 admit that they had no eoDstitu-
tional right to secede. 1t WAS a very nice
task to adjust the rights OF nation and
State so that each should be supreme In its
own proper sphere. Mr.. Gladstone has
something of the same task before him. lie
wants to give Ireland the control of her
own affairs, but realizes that the supremacy
Of the Imperial Parliament must be main
aiIed. he proposes to give the Irish Par
lament ell the rights it can exercise with
out impairng or restricting the supreme
authority of the Imperial Parliament"
The principle IS correct, but the
drawing Of a line between the To-
cal and the Imperial Parliament is
one Of the most difficult tasks statesman
has ever attempted. In this country the
work has not been fully performed. There
are constantly arising questions between
the Federal and State authorities. For
tunately. in this country the attachment TO
the Union is SO strong that the States read
lily accept Federal decisions adjusting and
readjusting the boundary lines between
Federal and State authority. No man could
draw these lines arbitrarily from the Tea-
soning Of his own mind. Experience is the
great teacher. Practical craftsmanship in
such cases discovers what is wanted and
draws the lI1e. Even Webster could do no
more than lay down the immutable princi-
pie that within its range Of authority the
Federal Government must be supreme.
II Gladstone could live fifty years he
would work out his problem. Lincoln died
with his problem unsolved, but other CON-
petent hands took 10 the work. Who will
be 6 adStene's successor? Who else can
lay claim TO his impaTtiality, to his patience.
b his forbearance with allies and with OPP
ponents? Who stands high enough to take
in tie view that presents itself to the
broadest mind that has appeared in Eng
land in his generation?

are countries that mob the doctors when
they endeavor to stay pestllence, and the
south of France and portions oil Germany
have made little progress in those sanitary
requirements which keep towns and vii
lagos clean and ensure an untainted and
regular water supply. Holland and Belgium
are model countries in cleanliness. but there
are exceptions in the Netherlands. 1t
would be a difficult task to get rid OF
chooIa in the poor quarters of Amster-
dam, once it found footing. Parts is visi-
LIANT and it has an admirable sewer system
for surface or flood waters. but is very de-
fective in household arrangements, and
part Of the water supply would be dubious
during epidemics. The villages of France
are often indeScribably filthy, and the wells
in use have to be guarded against sewage
infiltratons. To correct all these menaces
to public health requires the exertion OF
very strong powers of government, and 1t IS
to be feared that for a long time the doctors
will be in advance of the remedial agencies
they can put in motion.
