before or after the death of the owner.
We don't know much about the Scotch
law, but it has never been the purpose
of the New York courts to aid this kind of
mercenary speculation upon passion. The
legal union without civil or religious cere-
mony, recognized by the common law Of
New York, must be definite contract
freely and knowingly entered into by both
parties
The essence of the principle is that mar
riage is mere contract, to which no spe-
cial civil or religious forms are needful
The contract can be made by two parties
in any way they choose If it is really
made, the courts will hold them both
to it. 1t is not considered a compact Of
marriage when two persons pretend that
the relation exists in order to cover their
violation of civil and moral law One
partner to the pretense and crime cannot
impose marriage on the other without his
Will or knowledge. The perplexing cases
that have arisen in the courts, like those
in the plays and novels have generally
turned on the difficulty of proving a legal
contract or intent to make it, The pur-
pose of the new law, requiring that all
contract marriages should be registered
in the office of the county clerk, is to re-
move the possibility of this doubt in all
cases.

THE IRRIGATION PROBLEM.

THE IRRIGATION PROBLEM.
1t is with water as with wealth-the
trouble is that it is not properly dis
tributed. All the water which falls on
this continent is needed in the produc-
fion of crops, and all the surplus of the
wet seasons gets away and carries with
1t in solution the most fertile parts of
our cultivated areas. For years the gov
eminent idea seems to have been to do
nothing but build levees to protect low
land from the floods when the true policy
would be to store the flood waters near
their source and thus make the leveas
needless and insure supplies Of water for
use in times of drought.
The heather of Egypt and India thou
sand years ago had more sense about this
thing than the American people have
