THE WATER CASES.

1t Is a matter OF great regret that
the majority of the Supreme Court Of
Utah have not been able TO view the
important matter, Of the rights Of salt
Lake City to the complete control Of tho
waters flowing from Utah Lake
through the Jordan river which It has
legally appropriated to beneficial uses
according TO law, in the light In which
they are seen by the representatives.
OF the city and by the general public
In both the suits that were decided
against the city In the district court
justices BartCh and Miner have sus-
tanned the action Of the lower court
against the city and In favor Of the
Electrical Power company while In
both instances Justice Baskn has taxi

the rights Of the city as against the
subsequent claims Of the Power Dam
people
There are questions Of law involved
which are OF great Importance 70 the
people Of the State, outside as well as
inside Salt Lake city. That control OF
the waters coming into the city which
was supposed to belong, fully and en-
tlrely, to the city corporation, under
the common view Of the rights con-
ferred by the Constitution Of the State.
and by the statutory law and which
were supposed TO be inalenable, Is sub

of the court, 20 be invaded by private

which they have reached. but they are
Disappointing to the public and the
minority opinion In both these cases
IS regarded, by many members OF the
bar as being more strictly in accord
ance with the fundamental principles
involved and also with the interests
OF public policy.
OF course great deal can be urged
on both sides of these questions and
different opinions may be honestly en-
tertalned concerning them We can
only add that the result appears to be
unfortunate for the interests OF the
city and other parties involved with It

His declarations, which are quite con
peryatlve, might have been made even
more emphatic II he had taken up ana
presented the Mormon position on
This subject. This, however was not

position as a non."Mormon' citizen aud
representative Of the state, he has
placed himself on record with as much
positiveness and emphasis as could rea-
sonably be expected, His testimony
Stands out In bold relief against the un-
supported statements and intentional
ISLANDERS promulgated by the Ministerial
Association OF this city and viii do
much towards counteracting the evil
purposes Of that body
We congratulate Congressman SUI
therland on the courage and conss-
tency he has exhibited, and think his
example ought to be followed by others
who are able TO present the situation
In Utah in its proper light before Con.
gress and the country, IN contrast to
the lurld and deceptive Nominations Of
disappointed and malignant secta-
ies. Every business man In the State
should, in our opinion, raise his voice
in depreciation OF the ISLANDERS sent
forth TO prejudice the American public,
and should unite with Mr., Sutherland
in procaimlng the truth for the dis
comflture Of falsehood.

FOR HIGHER SALARIES.

As was expected, the passage In the
Senate Of the bill for the increase Of the
salaries Of federal Judges, has been fol-
lowed by a measure demanding higher
salaries for members Of Congress. II
iaiFes the salaries OF the vice president
and the speaker OF the House from
$4,000 TO $4,000, and those Of other
members from 5000 to $500 II this
measure Is passed II win no doubt be
followed By demands for higher pay
along The entire line Of public servants
And while the purse Is open, why
should not the nnumerabe army of
pensioners be permitted to reap some
further benefits, as long as there Is
cent left2
The argument In favor Of the increase
Is that the cost Of living is now too high
Tor the old wage schedule. II II true
that the prices OF many necessares and
Injuries Of life have gone sRywnrd dur
ing the last few years. but unfortu-
nately, the great army Of wage-earners
who are carrying, directly or indirectly,
the greater portion of the burdens Of
taxation, have not had the benefit Of q
corresponding rise In their daily earn
lngs, and they are therefore but indlffer-
emily prepared for an additional ex-
pense. The granting Of an additional
few thousand dollars year to each
congressman, would not be perceptlblc
to the individual taxpayer. and as long
as work Is plentiful, there would be no
objection, But, clearly the increase
could not stop there consistently Be-
sides, times Of prosperity are not eter-
nal Is It probable that the salaries
would be lowered, to meet the clrcum-
stances Of the laborlng classes, when
work Is scarce and wages low2 Public
sentiment II correctly interpreted, Is
against the proposed appropriation OF
public funds FOR the purpose mentioned.
Let the surplus funds be invested In
enterprises that will stimulate indus
tries, create resources, and build up the
country. The time should never come
again, when this country Is reduced to
the necessity OF borrowing money to
nay current expenses.

THE SALOON SUBSTITUTE.

General Darlington Booth believes
that the best solution OF the saloon

that the saloon has become sort Of

gests that the city establish ana oper
ate a large number OF places similar to
the Squirrel Inn on the Bowery New

have been run by private enterprise IN
London Liverpool Birmingham, and
other places, and yielded satisfactory
profits besides being a moral influence
wherever they have been established.
The suggestion might well be worth
acting upon at least in the large cen
ters Of population. 1t Is to be feared
though that the result would be- less en-
couraging than Mr. Booth thinks. The
patrons Of saloons frequent such places.

THE CITY COUNCIL DISPUTES,


We have been asked TO explain the
status Of the vote taken In tho City
Council on the removal Of three police
officers, whose names were presented
70 that body by Chief Hilton, and also
TO throw some light on the alleged i'm
proper ruling by the president Of the
Council on Tuesday evening, viewed ac-
rording to page 1853 OF Roberts Rules of
Order and also Of page A in the same
book. II has been claimed that ac-
cordlng to those pages In that work, the
procedure in reference to "the previous
question and to the motion to recon
slider was entirely incorrect
Reference to Roberts Rules Of order
shows that neither page 1G3 nor page

those subjects. Page 1863 gives some d.
rections as to the work OF the clerk or
secretary of a meeting or convention,

ing a member TO order, and to making
nm objection to the consideration Of q
principal motion. There is not the re-
motest connection between the subjects
mentioned on those pages and those un-
der present consideration.
According to the reports published IN
the daily papers the action taken by
the City Council on Tuesday evening
February 4th was decided after vote on
"the previous question" which was the
removal Of three police officers as re-
quested by the Chief. The Council had
previously adopted some special rules
for the guidance Of the body, and IN
addition the following:
"The rules OF order az laid down IN
Roberts Rules Of order are hereby
adopted, as far as applicable to the con-
dltions Of this Council"
The subject Of the previous question
IS taken UP on pages 50 to Ct In that
work. It's effect when adopted IS to
Instantly close debate Except that ON q
report from a committee the member
reporting the measure has the right to
make a closing speech) and bring the
assembly to vote upon the pending
question. on page IS we find thls
fIf the previous question has been
partly executed II cannot be recon-
rldered II anything which the assem-
bly, cannot reverse has been done as the
result Of vote, then the vote cannot
b. reconsidered.'
II IS held by some good parliament
tarlans that this applies 10 the vote
taken on the removal Of the
three police afcers. II cannot
be reconsIdered because Of the ac-
tion taken on the previous question
and further. because the council, having
acted 18th the Chief OF Police in or
derlng their removal, ana notices Of
that removal having been served upon
them by the city recorder according to
law, they are out Of office. and the ac-
ton taken cannot be reversed. a mo-
ton to reconsider then, would be out
OF order But surprising the motion is
permitted. If action IS taken upon H.
Il cannot be "reconsidered' again.
Il has been argued that because a GER
tain thing was permitted contrary to
the rules adopted at previous session
Of the city Council, that forms a pre-
cedent which must BE- subsequently FOL.
lowed. That is an absurdity on rs face
If q mistake is made, that IL no reason
why the same error should be repeated.

mate precedent TO be continuously fol-

petuate folly. The city Council should
act on It's own rules when they are fully
understood. no matter II mistakes have
occurred In IT'S previous action
The Deseret News has taken no part
IN the main dispute respecting the at
tempted removal Of the chief Of Police,
Notwithstanding the efforts that have
been made OF malicious and idiotlc
character to mlsrepresont our position
what we have said on this subject has
not been met by any opponent either
IN or out OF the city Council II is
simply that while the Mayor has ou-
thonty under the law to remove the
CHIEF Of the police or OF the fire de-
partment. that power is not conferred
upon him alone II belongs equally TO
the city Council Il ~ only by and
with the consent Of the council, that
either removal or an appointment TO
either Of those Offices can be effected
It IS not a question Of whether the
Mayor IN right or wrong In his action
or his motives. with the latter we
have nothing to do, and people who talk
about them are simply guessing and
surmlslng, because he has not seen iit
to disclose them. So in regard to the
majority Of the members Of the
city Council They have acted
to the law In such case made
and provided, and the abuse that has
been heaped upon them has no weight
with sane people, who know anything
OF the facts in the case and the prin-
clples involved, The endeavors to pro
long the dlGculty IN regard to the re-
moval Of the police officers are not In
the interests Of harmony nor the vel
fare OF the public The sooner the whole
matter Is settled. the better II viii be
for all parties concerned.
As to the resignation offered by the
chief Of Police, there seems TO be no
need Of debate. It Is Straightforward
and 10 tho point It is in form the
same as other designations Of city OH
GERS rendered to the Mayor The so
called string on II does not appear In |
the wording Of the document nor In It's
evident meaning and intent, 1t Is to
take place when q successor shall have
been appointed and qualified, That is
plain and easy to be understood, and Is
similar to other designations offered by |
public officers.
With the secret schemes and private
lesres Of city officials, we wish 20 have
lothlng to do, az they are mere mat
ers Of conjecture. We would like TO
zee order established in our city gov
,rnment, and that harmony prevailing
