construction of reservoirs, it is remark
able that more of them have not been
built here by personal or corporate effort.
They ought not to be made in the canyons
where the bursting of dam would in
volve the destruction Of property If not
of life. But there are natural depressions
on benches at the foot of the mountains,
where little work would form safe
reservoirs and to which water could be
conducted in late winter or early spring
from mountain streams, and thus utilized
for irrigation purposes. This ought to
receive attention from moneyed and en-
terprising men, and the reservoir ques-
ton should be thoroughly investigated
and widely agitated in reference to the
Territory OF Utah.

The Reservoir Question.

There are large reservoirs constructed
by the government in the neighborhood
of the headwaters of the Mississippi river
in Minnesota. If it is right for the
government to engage in such business
or to expend the public funds for such
purposes. there is no region where reser-
voirs could be more profitably con-
strucsed, that is, with a view to the
benefit of the people OF the vicinity than
in the inhabited regions of the Rocky
mountains.
Here where water is SO scarce at certain
seasons Of the year, at others it runs to
waste and sometimes worse than waste.
Great reservoirs can be constructed
with comparatively small cost which
would be safe and would supply fluid to
irrigate large stretches of country now
barren or covered only with sage and rab-
bit brush That could be brought under
cultivation and made productive of vast
quantities of vegetation. Fruits and
cereals could be grown upon it as well as
food for animals.

Governor WEST receives it, Withdrawal

letter of resignation, and, in our opinion.
can be legally and nationally accepted as
multiplying the previous attempt. The
withdrawal being fled before the resig-
nation is received will take precedence OF
it or neutralize its effect.
The turning point is with the Executive
OF the Territory, not with the clerk OF the
House. If Governor WEST takes official
notice of the withdrawal he may clearly
refrain from acting on the resignation.

ton before being notified of withdrawal.

titled OF withdrawal and there is moth
ing to prevent his refrainlng from any
action whatever,in the premises.
Finally, resignation is never perfect
until it is accepted, either formally or by
some action that implies its acceptance.
In this case no acceptance has been indi-
Gated in any way, and therefore a with
drawal is in order and besides the Cover
nor it rests with Mr.. RAwLINs whether or
not he will serve the people Of Utah as
Delegate in Congress.

Wjthdrawing a Resignation.

| AS soon as the news of the resignation
of Delegate RAwLINs was received in this
city, the propriety of his Withdrawing
that resignation was discussed. That
brought up the question of the power OF
member of Congress to withdraw res
ignation fled with the clerk of the House
OF Representatives and sent to the Gov
ernor.
Since then positive ground has been
taken by some members of the bar and OF
the press that resignation once rendered
is .irrevocable. 1t has been compared to
an egg once laid and a finger once cut off.
Putting these SMILES aside as inapplic-
able to this case, we will say that we have
seen no good reason yet to take this ex-
| IRENE view of the matter, nor do we be-
lieve it is tenable.
In the first place, the newly elected
delegate has not yet taken the oath OF
Office. He has not been installed. Can
he resign position which he has not en-
tered upon? Can he put off robes which
he has not put on? That is matter OF
dispute.
If it be contended that he is the dele
gate from the day of his election or OF re-
ceiving the certificate of his election, and
that his name is ready to be enrolled or is
enrolled on the list of members of the
House, then the question arises, is he not
the delegate until his successor is elected
and qualified? Ii SO, has he not the power,
seeing he is still the delegate, to retrace
the step he took, at any rate before notice
of special election shall have been is
sued by the governor? If he could law
fully tender his resignation, can he not
legally withdraw his tender, pending any
formal action in relation to it?
designations have been offered and
withdrawn in numerous instances, in the
case OF officers in private corporations
and of incumbents of public offices. Two
selectmen in this county resigned, but
they served out their terms and then
fought to keep out their elected sue
cessors. There is nothing in good reason
why public officer cannot withdraw a
resignation as well as could a private
officer or employee.
But it will be argued this is legal
question. and seeing that his resignation
has been filed, can the clerk of the House
act in judicial capacity and receive his
withdrawal and act upon it? This pro-
vokes another question: Can the clerk of
the House receive resignation and act
upon it? If so, why can he not receive
the withdrawal and stop or suspend
action.
The fact is, the clerk of the House has
received no resignation from the Del
egate. All he had to act upon was a

Religious Parliaments.

In these times of congresses and con-
ferences. it is quite fitting that the world
of religion should have its share of popu
lar parliaments and convocations. At the
Worlds Fair there is to be great con-
clave OF religious representatives from
many parts OF the world. 1t is to be
hoped that the assembly will be suffi-
GENTLY harmonious to preserve order,
and that the rancor which is so frequently
developed by theological controversies
will be suppressed, if it cannot be ban
ished from the breasts of the partioi-
pants.
1t would be better to have statements of
the salient principles of each religious
body presented than to permit debates on
the doctrines involved. Questions with
view to making clearer the points put
forth Will be proper, but not even they
would be profitable if asked in order to
perplex or provoke anger.
Some OF the leading lights of the Church
OF England, 'as by the law established
have signifed their disapproyal of the
parliament and their disinclination to
participate in it, because it would be
tantamount to placing their creed on a
level with heather and pagan forms of
faith, and imply that there is doubt as
to the relative merits OF the Christian and
Oriental religions.
That appears to be very narrow view
of the matter, and suggests the opposite
idea, that those high ecclesias:ics may
fear the comparison that would be made
between their forms and dogmas and the
views entertained by orthodox believers.
The contrast might not be altogether IA
vorable to the thirty nine articles and the
ceremonials and authority of Anglicism.
In parliament of religions such as
that proposed, it would seem that all the
tons should be fairly represented, and
that each should be equal to the others in
opportunity to make plain statement
of its belief, without any wrangling, i'll
feeling or supercilious claim to su-
periority.
There is to be another great religious
gathering at the opening of the TWEEN
tieth century. Plans are being formu-
lated to prepare for the celebration OF the
Christian centennial. 1t is proposed to
hold it in Jerusalem in the year 1900. 1t
is a novel idea, and one that Will strike a
great many people as grand and at
tractive.
At independence Hall, Philadelphia, on
the next Fourth of July, resolutions will
be reported to meeting then and there
to be held and what is adopted will be
submitted to the parliament of religions
at the Worlds Fair. If the proposition
meets with favor. the Christian world
will hold high jubilee at Jerusalem as q
fitting celebration of the opening of the
twentieth century of the Christian era.

THE DECISION of the Chicago lawyer
that under the act of congress granting
the Worlds fair $500, 900 provided it be
closed on Sundays, the terms of the law
will be complied with if the buildings are
shut up, is a good deal of money in the
pockets of the management. 1t keeps
the machinery and inanimate exhibitions
from violating the Sabbath, and leaves all
that to the grass-plots, the exterior stat
uary, paintings, architecture, etc., to-
gether with the visual organs of the peo-

rule prevails unless the contrary be
shown.D
1t seems to US apparent that the COM
ignation must be accepted before it can
be regarded as COMPLETENESS not inten-
ded to be abrogated. To hold it to be alb
rogated would enable every office holder
to throw off his official character at will
and leave the community unprotected.
We do not think that this was the intent
of the law
In Hoke VS.. Henderson, decided in
1882, Mr.. Chief Justice Ruffin, speaking
for the supreme court of North Carolina,
said:
San officer may certainly resign, but
without acceptance his resignation is
nothing, and he remains in Office. 1t is
not true that the Office is held at the Will
OF either party. 1t is held at the will OF
both. Generally designations are ac-
cepted; and that has been so much a
matter OF course with respect to lucrative
offices as to have grown into q common
notion that to resign is a matter of right.

right to the services of all the citizens,
and may demand them in all civil depart
ments as we'll as in the military. Every
man is obliged, upon general principle,
after entering upon his office, to dis
charge the duties of it while he continues
in office, and he cannot lay it down until
the public, or those to whom the author
ity is confded, are satisfied that the Office
is in a proper state to be left, and the
officer discharged -
In view of these authorities it seems
clear that the Governor, representing the
people OF this territory, may Withhold ac-
ceptance of the resignation rendered, in
consideration of the very general express
sion of the people who elected Mr.. RAW
LINs that he shall Withdraw it. And if
that withdrawal is interposed before re-
ception of the resignation, that appears
to strengthen his position if he decides
not to recognize vacancy in the Office.
We agree with the proposition that
''what is done must be legally done, -
and we have no doubt the Governor will
be sure he is right before he goes ahead.
