VESTED RIGHTS.


It is related that q certain eastern po-
tenfats fell into an impecunious condi-
ton and set his wits to work to devise
remedy. A farmer of imposts who had
often aided him, came to his rescue. He
offered him 8 large sum for all the winds.
that should ever blow over the country.
The monarch was stag gered at first He
was unable to lad any presidents for
suoh 2 transaction. OF ceurs8 it was as
sumed that he was the sole owner and
disposer of everything within his do
miaioR, not only during his life time,
bat for all time to come, 80 he came TO
the conclusion that as everything else
in the world had been sold, there was no
good reason why the winds should not
be disposed of in the same way, and the
bargain was made.
Before the public had got over laugh
lag at the absurdity of this novel deal,
the ownsF Of the wind issued a procl a.
nation forbidding all persons in the pfo-
vince from using the wind for turning
their windmills, winnowing their grain,
pfopelling their vessels or in any other
way unless they first entered into an
agreement TO pay him a stipulated price
therefor.
The peoples mirth changed to lamen-
tatiop. They protested. The N 3narch
was sorry. He didn't foresee 1t Would
turn Out so. But he eohla4't help it now.
His sacred word was out They Of
fered the sum that he had received,
but the ownsr of the wind
would not hear of it. He had
acquired a vested right. Since becom-
ing marketable wind had riseR in price.
He insisted his title was good He had
fairly bought it from the government. 1t
would be unfair to ask him to surrender
| his rights for anything less than they
would bring him if he kept them. The
proposition of the people was a scheme
| of robbery, subversion of all property
| rights, socialistic, agrarian and revolu-
| tionary. To force him TO accept such a
| proposition would strike fatal blow at
| the best interests of society and under
| mine the whole fabric on which the
rights of properly rested The monarch
agreed with him, but IN order to settle
the matter a compromise was made BY
| which the people were required To False
ten times the original purchase price
and the monarch promised never to sell
the wind again.
Something similar to the foregoing is
being enacted in Nebraska I ne courts
have decided that persons owning lands
along the streams of that state own the
water in the streams also, regardless Of
the fact that it flows down from the
Rocky mountains, aud the people away
| from the streams who need the water so
greatly for irrigation purposes are de-
uied the right to use it because it has
been granted by the government in per-
petuity to certain individuals. The only
way open to the Nebraska farmers seems
to be TO buy the right to this God given
fluid by buying the land through which
| it flows.

case awaited with such anxiety
II the defense can make its con
! fidence good, there will be moth
ing more dramatic in the annals Of
the law Conviction on circumstan
tial evidence would be an impossibility
in the California courts after such a de-
nouement. For this young man Duran
has been considered guilty by 80 me1
out of every 100 for months past.
To have hisinuocence proven beyond
doubt in a lew days by a few bold strokes
of evidence would make him the hero Of
the hour. He would be petted with IA
vors and PEELED with adulatiou, and thi;
is just the position in which those two
skilled attorneys Of his and his famous
detective insist they will place him.

it is now as strong as it ever was, in
spite Of the fact that he left the country
on the eve Of Tammanv's plainly i'm
pending defeat at the polls.
One of the most interesting things
about Mr.. Croker has been the fact that
notwithstanding his autocratic power
over the members Of Tammany he him
self has always been. controlled by .
man who was even stronger than he,
and whose strength was evidenced by
this very control This man is Ben
Wood, the partner of Colonel William
L. Brown in the ownership and publi-
cation of The News, cent afternoon
newspaper Of great circulation in New
York, but rarely heard of and almost
never seen outside this town.
Mr.. C1oker's turning down of Bourke
Cochran, the brilliant lawyer who sue
ceeded Grady as the "silver tongued
orator of Tammany." was one of the
most interesting and surprising acts in
the career of the leader. IT came about,
so it has been said, from social jealousy
between the Croker and Cochran house
holds, and it had the result of driving
out of politics one of the most brilliant
@AASA VIM CfCA S1AO Al 1EO1u tlC
state of New York At least it drove
Cochran out of politics, though there
have been more or less existing rumors
that eventually he would go to Great
Britain, as certain other Americans
have done, and there stand for seat in
parliament
Whatever may be said regarding Mr.
Croker by his political opponents he has
always been known TO be a model hus-
band and father. His two sons are his
greatest pride, e7en ranking above his
lorses, with which he did not have as
good luck i'll England as he expected
Mrs. Croker is spoken Of as a quiet, re-
firing woman, who has no desire to en-
ter society. This is not in accord with
the stories of social jealousy between
the Crokers and the Coekrans, but it is
beyond the power of the present writer
to state which is correct Mrs. Croker
has certainly been very careful to keep
personally out of the public prints, and
| only once, so far as have heard, was a
newspaper reporter ever able to secure
an interview with her. She then talked
with great good sense, frankly stated
that she was glad her husband had re-
tired from politics and hoped he would
remain on the outside.

J. R. BURTON, would be senator from
Kansas, has been heard from on the sill
yer question. 1t was in q speech deliv-
cred at Osborne recently. His meaning
will he understood more clearly when it
is remem bered that MT Burton is a pro-
nounced gold bug. He wants an inter-
national conference, aud said:
This government should take imme-
date action looking to the assem- bling of
an International conference in the city of
Washington. to be composed of repre-
sentatives of the leading commercial ma
tions, with perhaps the exception of
Great Britain, whose cooperation is
hardly to be expected, This con-
ference would develop whether or
not b:metaliism is practicable. The case
would be reasoned from all aides,
THIS government could then tell what
action to take in this important case. As
| between a gold and silver standard, the
| former is by ali means to be preferred
In silver standard countries only silver
| is used In gold standard countries
both gold and silver are used. This,
| like ali other questions, will be settled
| by the Republican party It is the only
| party which can do the business of this
country
Even q combination with Tom Reed
will not save him after the people hear
about that speech, unless he should
profit by the example of Dick Blue and
take it back until after election.
