SETTLING WATER DISPUTES.

We have received communication
from one Of our friends IN a country dis
trIct, who complains that he has been
treated unjustly by the watermaster
OF that place, who, he says, dscrm-
mates against him so that he does not
obtain his proper dues Of water and
he claims he has pleaded In vain for
redress. lie asks whether the Bishops
court will hear his complaint, and
Ar 1t will not, what is his redress?'
Also, 'If there Is trouble between two
settlements on the division OF water,
what remedy is there in the Church
courts when the water officers win not
take action?"
II may seem that II is rather late In
the year to spring questions OF this
kind, but the principle involved remains

sHE cAR-FENDER QUESTION

There has been a great deal OF tax
about compelling the street-car COM
pany to put tenders on all the cars run
ming In this city So much public sentl-
nient has been worked up on this sub
ject. that we may be liable to some
structures from our contemporaries II
we say word or two not fully IN line
with their contentious. But at the risk
OF doing so. we mildly suggest that
there may be another side to the dues-
ton.
We have known of many complaints
In eastern cities where tenders are used
on street cars, particularly In Phila-
delphia. to the effect that those alleged
protectors Of the public have done more
damage to life and limb than cars have
without those appliances. In turning
street corners sharply. many persons
have been caught by the projecting
tenders and thrown hither or thither
sometimes with fatal results. This
may be In consequence OF the peculiar
structure of the tenders there in use,
II may be that Improvements have been
made in their construction which Will
do away with this source OF danger.
We are not arguing against the adop-
tion Of any measure or contrivance
that will afford safety to the public.
On the contrary. we approve Of
rational endeayors to effect that de.
sirable object. But the information
We have obtained Is to the effect, that
the old style OF tenders has proved
much more disastrous than the run.
ming OF cars without them, and we
would be very sorry TO urge and en-
force anything that would only prove a
great expense without benefit to any
one.
The Consolidated Railway and Pow
or company, We understand, has place
ed its orders for the tenders that are
demanded by the press and people of
this city, and they have had the pro-
mise Of shipment within about 10 days.
We wish TO say, In this connection.
that the public ought TO be reasonable
In their requirements and not expect OBJ
solute imposslbilltles. The tenders can
not be made here. but have TO be OBJ |
tanned from eastern manufacturers,
and, like many other articles In de- |
mand, 1t takes time to bring them to |
this point. Just as soon as they can
be received and the cars can be equip

We do not see any reason for law
or ordinance requiring them, unless II
can be established as a fact that they
are both safe and necessary. 1t woull
seem to us that they should be tried.
in practical use. before any such en~
forcement as that contemplated shall
lie adopted. We do not know what
style or form Of fender has been de-
cided upon by the car company, but
suppose II will be OF the latest ami
most approved pattern, that will give
promise Of protection and not prove an
instrument Of destruction.
II ~ not supposable that the street |
car company desires TO slaughter or
iniure any person who may come In
the way OF Its traffic. To hold the COM
pany up In such light is both unjust
and absurd. The tenders are ordered.

as they can be obtained. and therefore
there need be no terrible agitation fur

Guilty. This Is the regular course OF
procedure between brethren. But II
may be complicated by the status OF
the watermaster as an officer Of cor
poration, which may include persons
who are not members OF the Church.
In such a case, II the Bishop decides he
has no Jurisdiction the remedy lies In
the secular courts.
Water rights are protected by the
civil law. Any person who takes
or uses more water than he Il
entitled TO. is deemedy guilty OF a
misdemeanor and Is liable In damages
TO any corporation company or indl-
yidual injured by such unlawful taxi
ing. But. In the case under consldera-
ton, II is the watermaster who is
charged with the offense mentioned
The law provides that every wilful
omission to perform any duty enjoined
by law upon any public officer or per-
son holding any public trust or employ
ment, Ia punishable as mlsdemeanOr. "
If the Bishop of the ward In which the
watermaster resides who neglects or
improperly performs his duty, declines
to take action in the matter, the in
iured party has the right to appeal to
both the civil and criminal courts
In the case OF diihoulty between two
settlements on the division OF water,
there Is remedy In the Church courts
II the parties are members OF the
Church, and in the dispute any Of them
are charged with improper conduct In
yolving the rights OF their brethren. II
the two settlements are organized
wards In the same Stake Of Zion, the
Presidency OF the Stake and the High
Council may be appealed to for the adj
judicatlon Of the dispute, 80 far as the
fellowship Of the parties Is concerned
II the two wards are in different Stakes
OF Zion, the First Presidency OF the
Church may be appealed to, who would,
DOUBTLESS, take such steps In the matter
as wisdom and all the circumstances of
the case might render prudent and
necessary.
Should the Church or Stake authori-
ties decide that the matter Is outside
Of their jurisdiction, the remedy would
then lie with the civil courts, unless the
parties would submit the matter to
friendly arbitration, with view to a
Just and equitable arrangement binding
on all parties concerned. This course
Is preferable TO litigation, which Is al
ways expensive ard often unsatisfac-
tory. But no member OF the Church
Is barred against lnstituting a civil suit
against another member, when the
Church tribunals have passed on the
matter and their decision Is not COM
piled with. or when they decline TO take
up the questions in dispute.
The Church courts do not interfere
with the secular courts in any matter
that distinctly belongs 20 the latter,
but In all cases Of disputes between its
members, involving their conduct and
TO each other as Church
members, the Church tribunals, In their
order, will hear complaints and see
that justice is done within the lines
OF proper ecclesiastical authority

 The affair was quiet wedding. there being present only the mothers of the contracting parties, Mrs. Sterling and Mrs. Roberts.
 Mr. Sterling is native of Ohio, but has been in California for the past fifteen years, generally following the work of mechanic. He has been employed fer the last year at the Can anea mine, where he receives heavy machinery of every description and in stalls it for operation. He is bright, wide-awake young man who doubtles 2 has a bright future. He is tall, a medium blonde, and has an easy and pleasant address.
 The bride is a young lady who bears the honor of being a native daughter of the Golden West and has made Los Angeles her home for some yevrs past. She is brunette and particularly at tracrfye and intelligent.
 The newly married couple will go to Cananea to reside in the future, where the groom is pleasantly situated.
