WATER CASE DECIDED.
The Opinion Of Judge CheasY Sustained.

The case of c. p. Rennow, ct al, VS..
Joseph Delmue, ct AL, involving the
case of water in Lincoln county has
been decided by the Supreme Court in
favor OF the plaintiffs. The case was
tried by Judge Cheney at Phoebe, Os-
born and Rives for plaintiffs and Saw
yer for defendants. The opinion is by
Bigelow, Chief Justice, Belknap and
Bonnifield, Justices, concuiring, and il
affirms the judgement OF the lower
court. The point of interest to the pub
lie is that if the plaintiffs had right to
the uninterrupted flow of the water, ex
cept as to enough to irrgate four acres
OF land, the defendants have no more
right to interfere with it upon their
own land, except to take that quantity
than they have upon any other lam ,
and the decree enjoining them from So
doing is unobjectionable. Ii the law
were otherwise the right to use water
would rest upon very frail foundation.

Alien Ownership of Land.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:--I have seen pub
lished IN several reform papers, and In
other reform literature, q list Of alien
landowners, with the amount Of their
holdings in the United States, which
would seem Incredible were not the facts
too well established to admit OF any
doubt.
On page 100 Of "Coin Up to Date"
will be found long list which contains
about thirty names OF lords and ladies
Of the British nobility who own large
slice Of our territory which ought to
have been reserved for homes for our
citizens. From an editorial in the Ot-
tsWs Journal Of May % quote the fol-
lowing: "Tbst English sristocrstg
should rule large domini1ns in the
United States, and rule them from Lon
don, is first a difficult thing to grasp.
For until it is borne in mind that peers
and peersesss Of Great Britain are large
landed proprietors in our countFy-Vis-
count ScullY alone owns 8 million acres
In Illinois, Iowa and Nsbraska-does
the significance Of sbsenteeism in land
lords become apparent"
From the figures given the holdings
Of alien landowners in this country Bg.
gregate % million acres, and that is
constantly being increased By real estate
foreclosures. II is Q wsll-known fact
that most Of the money loaned on real
estate is foreign capital, and mortgages
are now being foreclosed at lively rate.
It is estimated that they own at least 2
million acres more than Is specified in

ATTORNEY JOHN O'GRADY, who represents
Dan Lucas in his now famous fight against
the barbers' Sunday closing law, moved
yesterday in Justice Hswth0rne's court TO
uuash the information on the ground shat
che law is fatally defective in not providing
for trial by jury. Mr.. O'Grady argued that
the enacted bill is imperative because it
deprives citizen Of a constitutional right.
Kansas City World, July 81.
Now, how can any court hold a
law to be unconstitutional simply be-
cause it fails to provide for trial by
jury, when number Of men are now
serving terms of imprisonment who
were denied trial by jury and when
the highest Judicial tribunal in the
land has declared that it is poWerless
to interfere9 The fact is the con-
stitutionality of any law or even Of
the constitution itself depends solely
upon whose interests are involved.

much 1t actually is; therefore am In
clined to bSllsvs that many do not real
ize the extent Of the possessions OF those
alien landlords or they would make a
more vigorous protest than they are do
ing.
After reading the list referred to, l
took my pencil to figure ont Che exact
size Of a million acre tract Of land, and
was Rstoniahed at it's magnitude, ,562
square miles-almost forty miles square.
Now let US compare the ScullV estate
Of million acres to Rice county, just to
see how they appear. The county is
24E90 miles, giving it an area Of 72O
square miles, or about 461,0OO acres.
Thus you sec the entire county does not
contain e million acres, being only
equal to about tWo.t .thirtsenths Of Soul
ly's land. Then it would require about
six and one-half counties the size Of Rice
to be as large az the Soully estate, which
contains 4,6S7 square miles, and is equal
to square whose sides are SIXTY eight
miles long, or 272 miles around it. II
his lordship was to get into cart and
drive at the rate Of forty miles day, it
would take him nearly seven days to
drive around it. IL he happened to be
too /: religious to travel on Sunday
he could not make the trip In q
week. That much land would make
homesteads of 160 acres each for 1880
families.
We will now consider the entire
amount Of land that has been monopo'
lized by those foreign Rristocrats, which
aggregates rs million acres, or 39062
square miles. II it was all in one body
it would be about half as large as the
the state Of Kansas, about foup.hfths as
large Ra England, about one and one
third times ss large Rs Scotland, and
about five times az large ss Wales. Thus
you see they own an empire within the
boundaries Of the Unissd States almost
half Gs large ss their own country, the
island Of Great Britain. 1t would be
equal to square whose sides are 1917
miles long. II would make 1856
homestesds of 100 acres each. Count.
ing FIVE to family there are 78l $50 per.
sons crowded out Of homes, because
those noble aristOcrsts are allowed to
monopolizs, and then refuse to sell our
birth right. Then il we admit the esti-
mate of 2 million acres good, it would
raise the aggregate to q million Rcrss,
42,187 square miles, 168,750 homes for
843, ,750 persons, and would extend the
length Of its sides to 205 miles. How is
that for q country that boasts Of holding
the public domain sacred TO actual B0t-
tiers, who must be citizens, either native
or nRturslizsdP

followed.-This may be done by regular attendance
at the Sunday school; by church-faithfulness in

Christian should use every means possible to make
up for his natural deficiencies.

emplihcation is (sD in the character;
(2d), it was that day experienced; 5D, it
involved repentance, restitution, and the
devotion of life and property to the service
of God and man.
We are not told of the effect on the
multitude of this exhibition of surprising
spiritual power. We assume that the MUIR
muring was hushed to an impressive calm.
"In all probability" says Sadler, "Zac-
cheus, with the Lords express sanction,
continued in his occupation, in order that
he might set an example to others of his

does not involve the commission of sin is
a lawful one, and may be pursued inno-

pieces, the can and the lid. The lid ie
cylindrical in shape and made of brass,
with small opening in the knot at the
top. When this cylinder-shaped cover
is inserted in the neck OF the can, with
the ball of the finger over the small hole
at the top, and pressed downward, the
pneumatic pressure forces the oil out of
the spout while the can remains in a
perfectly upright position. The spout
extends to the bottom on the inside of
the can, enabling the user to draw the
oil all out at will.
By reverse action. the lamp may be
easily emptied; that is, with the spout
OF the can inserted in the cans neck:
close the small vent at the top with the
ball Of the forefnger or thumb, and
gently pull the lid upward. thus creating
strong suction, which draws the oil
quickly from the lamp back into the can
without allowing drop to escape. In
either case, the spout being inserted in
lamp before beginning to pour. there is
no danger of dripping and soiling the
furniture.
This can has feature which has long
been sought and wished for by users of
oil. and that is the large opening, which,
when the lid is drawn out, enables the
user to clean the can as easily as a cot.
fee pot or tea pot. Every particle of
sediment may be removed with the
least possible trouble.

FIRST QUARTER.
INTRODUCTION.

The story of Zaccheus is reported only
By Luke. 1t is natural that Luke should
be its reporter. In the beginning of our
lessons on the Life of Jesus in Har-
nony of the Four Gospels" we stated that
there was special object in the writing of
each of the Evangelists: Matthew wrote
to show that Jesus was the Jewish Mes
siah; Mark wrote to show him as the
Wonder Worker; Luke wrote to exhibit
him as the Saviour of the world; John
wrote to emphasize his spiritual Sonship
to God. 1t being Luke's peculiar work to
reveal the breadth, the worldwide charity,
of the Gospel, it is natural that he should
see the import of the story of the rich pub
Ican, the recreant Jewish outcast, being
attracted and welcomed by the Master.
The story is typical. 1t pictures the Cos
pei appeal to all sinful men. 1t prefgures
the union of races and religions in one
brotherhood under One Father.-"The
story of Zaccheus," LANCE says, clears
character of freshness, truth and absence
of invention, on which every doubt is
broken; this even Strauss has conceded.
But with its historical truth is united its
ideal and eternal truth; according to which
this journey of the Saviour may be called
the symbol of his continuous journey
through the worlds history; in which he
now, as ever, reveals himself to the indi-
vidual in his saving power, while the
greater part even yet continually misun-
derstand or mock him. We have but
a brief sight of Zaccheus. The light is
turned on; he is cast on the screen of his
tory for moment; then he fades into in
visibility. But his character, in this
glimpse, is strikingly revealed. He re-
mains to this day, and will remain for
many century to come, the historic rep
resentative of the many whose lives have
been suddenly redeemed by the spiritual
power of the Gospel.
