THE WAY TO DO 1T.

A correspondent in Nevada Is very
anxious for the Dereset News 10 state
whether letter may be addressed to
the Gar of Russia, direct, or whether
II must be sent to some officer Of the
Russian government. In reply 10 his
request. we say that there viii be no
harm done in addressing the Russian
Emperor directly But 1t is not at all
likely that II would reach him without
passing through the hands of the Off
cIal appointed to receive all such cor
respondence. A safe way would be TO
send It under cover to Hon, Charlie
magne Tower, the American embassa-
dor, ST. Petersburg, Russia, If there
is any particular object in addressing
the Emperor direct IL may be super
scribed TO His Imperial Majesty Nicho-
las II. Car Of all the Russias. Every
thing, however, that is intended for the
Car Is sure 10 be inspected before Il
reaches his hands THIS is usual as 10
all the reigning monarchs Of Europe,
but special care and surveillance have
to be exercised in Russia, because Of
the many plots supposed to be con-
cocted against the peace and life OF
the Emperor, and the restrictions
around him are greater, and the vigil
ance exercised Is closer, than those at
tending any OF the other great rulers
OF the nations.

thanks for HIS order. for II win un-
doubtedly save them from vast
amount Of wearisomc tank on subject
that already has been ,ol much before
the country. II such an order as this
had been issued to Admiral sampson, he
would never have made his foolish re-
marks about Gunner Morgan. which

the theory that they have one ear with

has taken official notice Of this

concerning the matter TO be inyestl-
gated by the court OF Inquiry They
may talk In private, discuss Il among

hard upon them, particularly those who
are endowed with eloquence or who are

made more dlsagreeabe through being
publicly discussed by the navy, which
has already been scandalized by it. II
win tend 20 relieve the members OF the
court and prospective witnesses of EN-

have finishhed its work and made Its
report, the public will be in possession
of all the facts and each one can draw

wait FOR this In the meantime Secre-
tary Long has commanded that there
shall be peace so far as the navy Is
concerned.

OUR WATER SUPPLY

II Is gratifying TO know that IN con-
sequence of the requirement by the
city OF farms and water rights In Par
ley's canyon. the flow Of water 10 Par-
iey's creek to the city is much greater
than on former occasions, particularly
at this time OF the year. There is an
other feature connected with these pur-
chases which is still more pleasant to
contemplate that is, the water brought
down to the city is pronounced OF eK-
ceilent quality and free from pollution
There appears TO be no doubt that the
stream has been greatly improved and
purified, through the removal Of the
numerous causes which led to its be-
foulment In times past They we're
doubtless greatly exaggerated, to the
disgust OF the people OF this city who
were supposed TO be using water In a
filthy state. A great many things
were published on this subject which
caused needless alarm. But it is pleas
ant to the users OF water from that
source to know, that the stream is
much cleaner when 1t arrives at the
waterworks in the mouth Of the canyon
than In times past, and that the quality
Of the water must be therefore neces-
sarily improved.
We are informed, however, that there
Is one place some distance up the can
yon, where II Is feared the stream is
dehled by the casting into II of refuse
from a corral, which is kept in good
order. but II is suspected that its
cleanliness Is due 10 the cause we have
here mentioned. That Is something
worth investigating, 1t viii be noticed
by persons passing up or down the
canyon, that the reservoir above the
conduit has upon 1t floating masses
which look very uninyiting to the eye.
II is said that these are caused by
bodies of dust blown from the road
into the stream. There Is a consistency
about them, however. which suggests
the presence Of some vegetable matter
TO which that dust becomes attached
II the waters OF that stream were not
thoroughly screened before passing
Into the conduit, there might be reason
for raising a rumpus over this mat
ter; but the test which has been made
recently by an expert shows that the
water is IN good condition, and there
fore We may conclude that these i'm
purties are prevented from proceeding
toward the city for domestic uses. Land
and Water Commissioner Westerfelt
has used due diligence no doubt. in
regard TO this stream, but II would be
advisable for him to investigate the
cause Of the appearances We have
noted. Watermaster Hines has mani
Tested his ability TO manage and reg
ulate his part Of the service. and the
people who have rights to the use Of
Parley's canyon water are receiving
their proper quota of the stream.
This city will need a larger supply
r. the future, and 1t Is TO be hoped that
oil ifs rights will be fully maintained
IN every particular and from every
source available. The water question

A SIMPLE PROPOSITION.

Particulars OF a raid upon a gam
bling den early this morning viii be
found in another part Of this issue OF
the News" The police arrested the
faro dealer on the charge OF keeping
a gambling house. This is all right so
far as It goes, and shows that a little
diligence on the part Of the officers OF
the city will result in the enforcement
OF the ordinance against gambling
hut some questions naturally arise
on learning OF this action by the au-
ihorities. In view OF the fact that
there are a great number Of places
where gambling Is understood TO be
carried on without let or hindrance,
there Is some curiosity 10 learn why
,hls one place was selected for the
operation Of the law. Is there any hid
den reason for this discrimination? We
do not desire 10 make any insinuation
as TO the motives which led 10 this cap
,ure. There are some comments ahoat
indicating the suspicious OF the public,
that we do not care TO give place 60

gambling 60 on with success in other
quarters?

sion be totally ignored? What WIN the

THE oAKHoLAMA LOTTERY.

The Oklahoma land lottery opened
lp all its glory yesterday At FL Reno
one thousand drawings were made. All
was pleasant, all was peaceful. all went
merry as a marriage bell. The lucky
ones were happy. and those TO whom
luck did not come were buoyant in the
thought that fortune might still favor
them They have their chances until
there are no more drawings. Then
with customary American optimism
they viii not long brood over disap-
pontment but will seek pastures new,
or try and trade for part Of the pas
lures that their friends have secured

furnishing excitement goes. this lottery
method Is over the humdrum OF going
to the land Office and filing on a partic-
ular piece OF land and then after year

What is the fascination Of these re-
seryatiOn openings? To secure rich
lands Is an object. TO be sure, but rich
lands outside OF them may be secured,
The fascination is that Of the unknown,
And IN most human hearts there is a
longing for romance and adventure,
These reservation openings in some
measure satisfy these longlngs, That
spirit which prompts men to rush TO a
reservation opening is the same that
in colonial times sent them through the
Cumberland Gap and down the ohio;
that sent them through the Great
Lakes and across the portages into the
wilds Of what IS now the state Of Wis
cousin. Il is the same spirit that In
the early part OF the last century sent
them across Indiana and Ohio into nli-
nois and from there into Iowa. the
spirit that led the great emigration Of
the later forties and fifties and sixties
across the western plains and mountain
ranges until the shores Of the Pacific
were reached. Il Is largely a spirit OF

AN EXPERIENCE IN MEXICO.

What shall be the responsibility OF
railway employees when accidents occur
that result In death, Is an
important question and one that
continually agitates the public
mind In this country the en-
forcement Of the law in cases OF
criminal negligence is generally pretty
lax, and the chances are quite nine out
Of ten that the agent who gives orders
that produce an accident or the con-
duotor who disregards them with like
result, no matter how many ART
MANNED and killed. will escape all pun
ishment at the hands OF the law,
In Mexico the law in this matter
goes to the other extreme. There. when
an accident occurs on railway and
some one is Killed, the train hands are
held responsible and prosecuted ac.
cordingy; the whole proceeding Is on
the assumption that they are guilty.
There arrived in Hinsas City the 9th
er day an American citizen who had
been IA the railway service in Mexico.
He was on train that ran away and
could not be controlled owing to sleet
and rain, and the ineflciency Of some
OF the crew, When the train reached b
sharp curve II went down steep EN-
bankment with the result that many
were mangled and killed. This Amer
lean had foot cut OF, but before he
could receive any medical aid or be
removed n was necessary that
Mexican justice make an investigation.
For want OF better accommodations he
was put in the common Jail He was
finally permitted TO see the American
consul and ordered TO report for in
yestigation. but instead OF reporting
back he made his way to this country,
To Americans his case will seem a
harsh one and his treatment cruel II
was right to investigate the cause OF
the accident, but first OF all there
should have been solicltude for the
wounded, but the solictude seems to
have been for the literal enforcement
Of the law The Mexcans would
profit by little more regard for hu-
manitys sake; in our own country Il
would be better II there were, In the
matter Of responsibility for railway ac-
cidents, a little more solicitude for COM
plance with the law.
