1t is recommended that the pur-

rect time to the various ports and
communicate to local officials, a
thing which is doubtless already
done to a greater or less extent.
This will help to bring about

the telephone wires with perfect

WHAT'S THE TIME, PLEASE2

The By Authority column con-
tains a notice of a change in our
time standard, which, though
slight in itself, has much import
ance from the fact that it is practi-
cally the ablishment of a uni
form standard for the whole group,
which has been adopted by the
advice of the Government Survey.
AS is we'll known, many civilized
countries, notably England and
the United States, have adopted
uniform standards of time for areas
as extensive as can be made con-
venient in practice. Greenwich
time is the standard for the British
isles, being given by telegraph
throughout the United Kingdom.
The United States and Canada are
divided into meridioncl zones, or
time belts, of one hour, or fifteen
degrees of longitude in width, the
standard times on each being
known respectively as Eastern time
Give hours behind Greenwich }, Cen
trail time (six hours behind Green
wich), Rocky Mountain time (seven
hours behind Greenwich, and Pa
cific time, which is eight hours
slow of Greenwich. Hawaiian
standard time will be ten d one
half hours slow of Greenwich. The
half hour is chosen for the reason
that the Hawaiian group, while
limited in area, is almost centrally
on the line between the ten-hour
and eleven-hour belt, and the in
convenience of wide difference be-
tween standard and local time is
thus avoided After this point had
been decided, which was done some
years since, it was found that our
New Zealand neighbors had follow
ed the same method, New Zealand
time being II hours 80 minutes
time east, or fast, of Greenwich.
This change was thought of some
years ago, but the failure of the
inter-island cable to materialize
induced it's postponement. Now,
however, since the United States
Coast Geodetic Survey has adopted
SO Hawaiian standard" in it's tide
tables (for the worldly for 1896, it
is deemed best to Immediately put
this measure into practice.

STEADY GRIND--'I have
/ learned from observation
says Chauncey Depew, "that
three things surely happen
to a man who works with
out relaxation. In the first
place he becomes nervous,
irritable and hard to get
along with. In the second
place the grade of his work
falls off, and he is liable to
err in his judgment. In the
third place he dies sud-
denly" These remarks of
the famous after dinner
speaker we consider not
only decided applicable in
the sense in which they are
intended, but in the way of
a great many Of the manu-
faCturerS that are constantly
placing inferior goods on the
market and claiming them as
superior to the product of
older and better known
houses. This is especially
true of cutlery. There are
houses who place this class
of goods on the market that
are made up for show and
sale only, but whose wear
is warranted only until they
have been once secured.
This is not the case with the
goods of we'll known and
established houses whose
reputation depends upon the
wear of goods.
They pride themselves on
what they make being made
of the best material that
money and experience can
turn out. The John Russell

Some Grave CHARGES.

items under the above caption, saws:
Messages are being received ask
ing that the senate refuse to confirm
Moran Scott, who was nominated
Saturday for postmaster at Ardmore,
to succeed Capt. John Hammer,
whose term had expired. Various
reasons are assigned for asking that
the nomination be rejected, among
them being the statement that Mr..
Scott is now under indictment at
Paris, Texas, for felony. II appears
that Scott is a Texan and was ap-
pointed through the influence of the
Texas gang of officials at present
looting that country. A member Of
the senate committee on postofices
and post roads stated today that IL
Scott is under indictment as charged
the senate should protect the COM
munity from such a man as postmas-
ter. He suggested that Ardmore
people place all the facts before the
committee at once.

TROUBLE IN STANISLAUS.
Method of Canal Company to Enforce
Payment of It's Rates for
W1fer

MODESTO, CAL, Oct. 20.-Farmers and
stock-raisers OF the west side of the San
Joaquin River, in this county, are con-
fronted by what may terminate in a start
ling condition of affairs. The canal of the
San Joaquin and King Rivers Canal Com
pany, oftener called the Miller & Lux
canal, supplied residents of that portion
of the county with water for irrigation
and stock-raising purposes. Deeming the
rates charged too high the water-users
applied to the company tor reduction.
1t refused, and they then petitioned the
Board of Supervisors to establish rates for
the corporation.
This move was bitterly fought. but in
June the Board OF Supervisors established
schedule of rates, reducing the former
prices from an average of 81 so per acre to
81 so. Now Deputy United States
Marshal is IN the county subpenaing all
Supervisors to appear before the United
States Circuit Court in San Francisco on
November to answer to proceedings in
an equity suit commenced against them
by the canal company.
The most serious phase for the stock
raisers at present is that there is no water
flowing in the canal and has not been for
some time. Several weeks ago the canal
company's agent informed the patrons
that the water would be turned off for ten
days or two weeks. The time expired, and
no wafer came. The agent again said it
would be ten days or two weeks more
before it would flow, but the alfalfa fields
are suffering, as this is the time of the year
w en- the ranchers food their lands. Stock
is also on short rations.
