IMPORTANT TO OUR PEOPLE.

/ Irrigation it's scientific manage
ment, and the rights of settlers to the
use of water for its beneficial applica-
ton, form one of the most important
of present questions. In consequence
of imperfect apprehension of the pro-
positions made to the constitutional
convention, the organic law of the
State of Utah is deficient in proper
provisions regarding the control of
the waters OF the state. This leaves
the matter open for legislative action,
and necessitates some organized effort
in all parts of the territory
An address has been issued by the
Irrigation Association of Utah, of
which Hon. L. w Shurtliff, of Ogden,
is President, and Colonel c. L. Steven
son, of Salt Lake, is Secretary 1t
will be found in this issue of The
Herald. 1t should be read and acted
upon by the people of Utah.
The control, storage and economical
distribution of the water supplies in
these valleys, flowing down from the
nights Of the mountains through the
narrow canyons, or bursting forth
from the springs in the hill-sides or in
the lowlands, are of such moment to
our farmers, stockraisers and the
public generally, that they ought to
be made of primary attention
In declaring that the waters Of the
state shall be the property of the
state, as recommended to the constitu-
ton trainers, there was no intention
=
vested rights, either Of individuals or
irrigation companies. On the con-
trary, it was designed to assert the
right of the state-which means the
entire people of the state-to the
ownership of the waters. that by law
the individual and corporate rights ex-
listing to the use of those waters.
should be defined, secured and made
Enthusiastically legal.
That having failed, what can be
done in the direction desired should
be done as soon as possible. For that
purpose the Irrigation Association has
been formed. And it should have
branches in every county and settle
ment of Utah. Such organizations as
have been formed should invite all
the people to membership. Where no
organization exists it should be formed
without delay.
Steps should be taken to control the
waters needful for irrigation in a
strictly legal manner, so that when
population flows into the new state,
and Spectators seek to obtain possess
sion OF. water rights, which will be in
great demand, the title to the proper

CHEWING GUM DISCUSSED BY AN
ENGLISH COURT.

The magistrates were of opinion that
looking to the fact that it was impossible
to dissolve the wax in the mouth, and
that each stick of what was bought was
labelled for chewing gum only; not to
be eaten.' the article was neither food
nor drug. and did not come within the
meaning of the Act of Parliament.-Mr.
Justice Wright: What is the article-a
sort of tooth powder? daughter. Mr..
Smith: No.-Mr. Justice Wright: What
is the object of it?-Mr. Smith: l believe
it is eaten by children to a great extent.
Mr.. Justice Cave: But it is labelled,
Not to be eaten, but chewed'' What
can be chewed?-Mr. Smith: The gum
part which is soluble and melts away,
the saliva passing into the stomach. The
wax is insoluble.-Mr. Justice Cave: Do
you say it is a food. I am told it comes
from America. and is used to a large eX-
tent amongst the children in mining dis
tricts.-Mr. Justice Cave: What did the
inspectors assistant demand?-Mr. Smith j.:
Three sticks of chewing gum.-AIr. JUS
tlce cave: And what is chewing gum p
Mr.. Smith: That is not found by the
magistrates Your lordshipS are invited
to say that it should be gum and not par
ATTN wax. and that if adulterated to the
extent of % per cent. of paraffin wax
that is to the prejudice of the purchaser
Mr.. Justice Cave said the appeal must
be dismissed. The magistrates had found
that this was not an article of food, and
ne could not see his way to say that they
were wrong. Mr.. Justice Wright con-
curred.-Derby and Chesterfield Reporter.

HON. w. c. WHITNEY ON SILVER.

10 you think blmetalllSm would I'M
prove our financial condition."
'Unquestionably,' was Mr.. Whitney's
reply. Political economy has changed
since men as old as / am were boys.
Money, as a medium of exchange, has
come to be rather a medium of interna-
tional exchange. We have to consider
other nations as well as ourselves. Yet
it is interesting in this connection to re
member that the two metals singled out
by the ancients as the medium of eX-
change-gold and silver-have all along
held their parity, with slight fluctuations,
and they are today the two recognized
metals in finance.
There is today in the world at large
nearly three billions and a half of gold
coin, and an almost equal amount of sill
yer coin. This country, or any other,
could not stand silver alone on stand
ard, for that's what the free coinage of
silver would come to mean in time. On
the other hand England has suffered most
of any nation by the depreciation in sill
yer, and that may account for the strong
sentiment in favor of bimetallism there"

WOOLGROWERs VS.. WOOL WEAR
ERS

The wool growers are assured that the
Republicans will restore the wool tariff;
but there are SO many people in the United
States who are not wool growers, and
who do not propose to wear extravagant-
ly taxed trousers, that the Republicans
may not have another opportunity to rob
Peter to pay Paul.-Post-Dispatch.

great scientific engineer by quoting the
words Of soldier Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic, on the occasion Of the
decoration Of the graves at West Point
n Y, May %, 1888.
On this occasion Gen. Stewart l.
Woodford, Of u. S. Grant Post, GAR,
spoke as follows:
So long as the waves shall beat upon
the sands Of Morris Island; so long as
the debris Of Sumter shall crumble at
the feet Of her newly-erected walls; SC
long as the flag of the Nation shall float
above that fortress which marked the
beginning Of fraternal strife, the records
of our army and Of our Republic shall
keep the name Of Quincy A. Gilmore
as a courteous gentleman, wise scholar
loyal citizen, a good soldier, and q
truly great military engineer"
The deeds Of such soldiers should
never be forgotten.
We have need of such clear beacon stars TO war;
aud guide our age.
The great traditions II a Nations rife:
Her chiidren's deeds with honor rife
Are her most precious Jewels noblest heritage
Time polished jewels ia her dadem."
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1895-10-03

Island constitute a new era in the
saience of engineering and gunnery."
Prof Dennis III. Mahan, his old Pro-
fessor Of Engineering at West Point, an
unsurpassed authority on military ope-
rations, wrote: The siege of Wagner
forms a memorable era in the engineers
art, and presents lesson fruitful of re-
suits"
This remarkable exhibition of skill
and industry, the true and always sue
cessful tools with which the engineer
works, is triumph of American science
of which the Nation may well be proud I;
and Gen. Gilmore, in the reduction of
Fort Pulaski, the demolition of Sumter,
