WHAT THE LAW DECIDES.

A promise to pay a debt when the
debtor might feel able to pay" is held,
in Pistol VS.. American Mutual Life In
to create II .cgal and moral obligation
to pay VIXEN the debtor is able, and to
require hi.l honestly to exercise his
Judgment as 20 that fact.
Requiring Il pledge from those who
sign nomination papers to support and
vote for the candidate or candidates
whose nominations are therein request
ed, is held, in state, Plimmer, VS.. Poston
(O.), 43 l.. L. A. 80, to be reasonable and
valid, and not to constitute an unrec-
sonable impeachment to the exercise of
the elective franchise.
The right of prior appropriation of
water to enter on lands across which
his ditch runs, in order to clean and
repair the ditch, is sustained in Carson
VS.. Gentner (Ore.), 43 L. r. A. 100, where
the land was patented after his ditch
was made. With the case is note on
the right of an appropriation to enter
upon the land of an upper proprietor
to clean out ditch.
Percolating water is held, in Wheel
ock VS.. Jacobs (Vt.), 40 L. r. A. 1O5, to
be as much a part of the earth as the
soil and the stones, and not to be sub
ject to the doctrine of prescription. 1t
is also held that a grant of a spring
does not, by implication, convey per-
colating water before it reaches the
spring. Water running through a
fissure CT hole in bedrock below the sur
face, but not flowing in a well-defined
channel underground, is deemed perco-
lating water.

NIcKINLEY's POLICY.
Government by Proclamation and
Peace Through SubjnRation.

In his speech at Ocean Grove, Mr..
Mckinley gave this brief definition
of what he called theaPresident's pol
icy in connection with the Philip
pines"
@Peace first, then, with charity for
all, establish agovernment of law and
order, protecting life and property.
and occupation for the wel-being of
the people-a government in which
they shall participate under the stars
and stripes
He prefaced this declaration with
the assertion that "our flag does not
mean one thing in the United States
and smother thing in the Philip
pines"
Our flag in the United States
means "a government of the people,
by the people and For the people"
Does it mean this in the Philippines?
At home our flag means govern
ment with the consent Of the govern
ed Are we asking the consent OF
the Filinlnos to establish a govern
ment" for them, as the President puts
it?
At homo our flag means mo taxa
ton without representation" McKin-
ley purposes to tax the Fiiplnos.
Does he mean to give them represen-
tation in Congress?
At home our flag means the suprem-
acy OF civil over the military power.
Will it signify any such thing In the
Philippines for years to come, even
after the inhabitants have been SUBJ
jugated?
The most that the Presidents pol
icy promises after @occupation"by our
forces is a government, established
by him, through the military power,
In which the inhabitants shall SPAR
ticipate under the stars and stripes"
However benevolent and benefic-
ent this sort OF government for the
Fiipinos may be, it is not the sort Of
government that our flag means in
the United States; it Is not form of
government recognized by our con.
stitution; it is not form OF govern
ment established or authorized by
Congress, but is directly contrary to
the letter and spirit Of the resolution
adopted by the Senate after the rat1-
tication Of the treaty with Spain.
1t is in fact military satrapy that
Mckinley purposes-government by
proclamation.

FRESH DAIRY NOTES.

Timothy hay is a poor milk producer.
The stables in which cows are kept
should he light.
Never feed while milking. II is bet
ter to feed just after milking.
The cow will not drink as much ice
cold water as she should drink.
Cows ought not be kept in tempera-
tute below 80 or above 60 degrees.
Winter dairying gives the farmer and
his help employment in dull season.
These feeds have tendency to loosen
the bowels: Alfalfa. sorghum hay, en-
silage. roots, bran and linseed meal.
The mich COW must have plenty Of
water and the reader knows that We
think it should be warmed in winter.
Succulent foods in winter have as
much value as medicine as they do as
food. They keep the system healthy.
. The fall calf can have the advantage
of receiving abundant care, for the
farmer in winter has time to bestow it.
