THE IRRIGATION ARTICLE.

From the new propositions pre-
scented to the convention on the irri-
cation question, it is evident that
there are still some people who do
not fully comprehend the subject of
the ownership of the waters of the
State.
The article reported by the COM
mlttee to the convention commences
by affirming that the water supplies
are the property Of the State. That
seems to alarm some folks, who
imagine that this will take away the
water rights that have been held for
a long time, anc which have accrued
70 individuals. companies and cor
porations.
That is all mistake. The affirma-
ton Of ownership by the State,
simply mems that all the sources OF
supply within the State are the prop
erty of the whole people of the State.
This is necessary in order to legislate
how those water supplies may be dis
tributed and controlled.
Zach person or association Of per
sons holding water rights is secured
in all the title already acquired. But
that, as we have heretofore explain
ed, extends only to the reasonable
use of the water appropriated. Abso-
1Dte OWNERSHIP, ike obtaining title to
land, is not acquired. By non-use the
right becomes forfeit. To whom? To
the State; that is to the whole pao-
pie of the State, to be appropriated
under the laws enacted by the State
If there Is anything put into the
Constitution on the irrigation subject
It should be sufficiently comprehen-
sive to define the rights Of the State
and of appropriations of water. It is
certain that much water is now
wadeted by improvident users, and
this ought 10 be restrained. A more
systematic and economic use of the
srrigating fluid ought to be islagur-
ated and it must be done under
State auspices.
But there must be no deprivation
of vested rights. Nothing of the kind
IS intended in the report Of the com
r1zitdee. There need be no fear as to
the ownership of the waters 10y the
State. That is a common expression.
It viii be found, in the Constitutions

not signify the c3lrtailment of any
existing risnes nor the hindering OF

MEXICO's FIGHTERS.

A dispatch from the City of Mexico
gives a complete list of the accidents
and fatalities connected with the re-
cent big sham battle there. Among
them were these:
Major Villareal was knocked from
his horse by a collision with an artil-
lery wagon. badly hurt though be-
ieved not fatally. One mule was
killed at the same time. Two cavalry
soldiers fell with their horses. some
what famed. Various accidents of a
similar nature were recorded during
the charge by the cavalry on the
plain of Peralville.
Some of the infantry private sue
cumbed to the heat and were borne
from the field for medical treatment.
During one of the cavalry charges
two riders were Knocked from their
horses and trannpled to death. and
several privates presented them
selves to the chiefs with wounds
about their bodies. One was suffering
severely from a wound in the chest.
and several pieces Of gravel were ex-
tracted from the wound. Lieutenant
Charles G. Dwyer, military attache
of the American legation, who served
on the presidents staff, was sun
struck and borne from the field.
And then the dispatch grayely
winds up with the announcement that
considering the battle was the finest
military spectacle ever seen in
Mexico. the number of serious acct
dents was small.
The question naturally arises, what
would be the results in a real

WHAT THE PLATFORM DEMANDS.

The Democrats of Utah are unequiy-
Dcally IN favor of woman suffrage. and
the political rights and privileges OF
women equal with those Of men, in
Guiding eligibility TO office: and we de-
nand that such guarantees shall be
provided in the Constitution of the
State Of Utah as will secure TO the
women of Utah these inestimable
rights
The foregoing is the equal suffrage
plank of the Democratic platform.
adopted enthusiastically by the great
body of delegates and other representa-
tive Democrats. at the Democratic ter
ritorial convention. held on Saturday,
September Is. 1894 We reproduce it for
the consideration Of such Democrats
as are not in favor of woman suffrage.
and of those who 10 favor it but have
been led off into the Republican by
way of a separate article from the
Constitution.
We want the people Of Utah to I'm
derstand that in taking the decisive
action by which the suffrage article
WAS voted into the Constitution. those
Democrats who helped to place it there
acted on the pledge of the party, while
those who voted against it-only four
we are pleased to say-voted against
the pledged faith of the party in its
adopted platform. ratified in the several
counties. and never repudiated in any
Democratic meeting in the territory.
1t is couched in the broadcast and
most emphatic terms. It is full recog-
milton of the political equality Of the
sexes. It is thoroughly democratic-not
using that word in. a party sense-for
1t provides for a government directly
from the people. and gives all citizens
of mature age voice in public af-
airs. which is pure and undiluted dem
ocracy.
! 1t goes further than that. It takes
away the political disabilities of wo-
men entirely by making them eligible
Tor Office. That is to say. if there is
any public position for which woman
is adapted. there is nothing in the way
of hel election. providing the majority
of the voters wish to place her there.
The good sense of the voters will pre-
vent The election of women 10 such
places as they are not qualified to fill.
The demand is also made in that
platform that these inestimable rights
shall be secured to women by guaran-
tees in the Constitution There is no
lodging that fact. There are gentlemen
whose training and preiudices are
against woman suffrage. and these
cling to them still. There are others
who have been persuaded that this
matter ought to be submitted in a
separate article. and not be put in the
Constitution itself. Both of those
classes are wrong if the platform is
all right. and on that platform we
went into the campaign of 1894.
Now. Democrats. do not suffer your
selves to be beguiled into any different
action. Stand by what you have done
in keeping the promise of the party
and you will not regret it. And keep
your eyes open for tricks from the
enemy. You have done right. Keep in
the right. stand by the right and you
viii pave the way to victory for the
party in the coming November.

reasonable use of the people.
The idea that any kind of CON
fiscation'' is involved in the provision
is a great mistake. and the expression
OF it has given rise to much needless
alarm. Nevertheless, the article
should be carefully studied by the
guardians of the peoples rights. and
no one should be put in jeopardy of
