ARD ON DRuNKaRDs.

The new British licensing act which
went into effect this year Is said to
create quite a stir In London and else
where, It is also said to work well.
1t Is, however. a radical departure
from the established order Of things,
It aims at the drinking, rather than
the selling Of liquor
Formerly the police could not touch o
drunken man or woman, except they
were guilty Of dlsorderiy conduct but
under the new law, anyone found In
toxicated IN any public place, can be
arrested, prosecuted and punished
And II Anyone IS convicted three times
IN one year. he is blackllsted as an
'habitual drunkard.'
The Following instances Of the apple
cation OF The law Illustrate the power
conferred upon the magistrates by II:
"You wlll 30 10 prison FOR q month y
snld Stafford magistrate TO q man ar
taigned for drunkenness you VIII be
placed on the blacklist and while IN

three years Il viii be at your peril :
From these expressions Of two differ
Ont magistrates in the cases Of a man
and a woman, the fate Of anyone who
may be convicted OF drunkenness three
times IN year viii be understood
The act also protects children. Any
one found drunk while In charge Of a
child Is liable to a fine of az or a
months Imprisonment Several women
in London, and the provinces have al
ready been punished under this clause
The law Is also said 10 have broken up
many Of the "clubs' that exist merely
for the purpose OF eyadng the license
act. The proprietors were not ayerse
TO paying their regular fine but they
do not care TO risk Imprisonment.
Another feature Of the new law II,
that habituGl drunkenness Is made vat
Id ground for divorce Several have
already been separated as result of
this provision. The law IS said TO work
well 1t is based on the suppostIon

THE WATER SITUATION.

The Deseret News in expressing
doubt about the truth OF the story that
the directors of the North Jordan
Canal company were coming into har-
mony with the other irrigation COM
panies in this county on the consollda-
tlon plan was correct although our
contemporaries all expressed opinions
10 the effect that the contemplated
union was assured
The result Of the meeting Of the North
Jordan stockholders was surprising TO
everybody; to some more than 10
others. II was also regrettable In the
extreme. In refusing TO join with their
nelRhbors and friends to secure govern
ment aid for the grand purpose In
view, we believe that most Of them
acted upon a misapprehension OF the
whole matter, and It's possible effects
on their rights and necessities. This Is
evident TO as by the resolutions that
were passed at the meeting.
II there Is anything certain In the
whole proceedings, 1t is the fact that
the North Jordan people were made
secure IN the retention OF every water
right established By decree Of court
Yet the resolutions assert that those
rights would be abrogated II they en-
tered the consolidation. This Is amaz-
ing In view Of the safeguards thrown
around them.
The misunderstanding about the adj
vice and conclusions Of Professor
Newell exhibited In the resolutions, is
also remarkable, and shows that the
trainers and adopters acted under
wrong Impressions on that point. This
IN lamentable considering the result Of
the error
The destinations about the gentlemen
who have taken the most active part In
moving for the consolidation, were
most undcserved and unworthy Of those
who uttered them. We are sure that
the object In view was the public well
fare and not any individual profit. Par
ticularly has this been the case
with Col, Holmes, whose dis
interested labors deserved very
different reception and result and the
other prominent workers in the move
ment are also entitled to high common.

THE VENEZUELA TROUBLE.

Dispatches from different places say
The Venezuela trouble VIII soon be set

viii be accepted the blockade VIII be

trated. 1t is to be hoped that these
statements are correct. The venezue-
Ia affair should never have been per-

Venezuela IS owing some OF the great

her probably are Just, and others are

meant the assassination of President
Roosevelt in this city. Late Wednes-
day night Mayor Olney received a COM

two men named Charles Girardo and
Antonio BOliVincO, the latter an Ital-
ian, who tried to kill the Emperor of
Austria before st. Stephens church in
Vienna on May 18th, 1867. had agreed
to meet at G1rardo's house to discuss
the killing of the president. The writ
or added:
Il heard that Girardo was in corre-
spondence with Czolgosz at Los

The letter was referred to the police,
who declined to discuss the matter.
