IMPORTANT WATER SUIT.

1t is a suit of extraordinary import
ance, both practically and to settle
theories, that has been begun with re"
spect to the waters of Utah lake The
Associated Canal companies of Salt
Lake county are sting Lehi appropria-
tors Of the lake water, seeking to en-
join them from taking any water from
the lake on the ground that ID would
infringe upon the rights of the canal
companies. The would-be appropria-
tors whom it is sought to enjoin are
Messrs. Abel John Evans and James
H. Gardner Of Lehi, backed by the
Lehi Commercial club. 1t is contend
ed by that interest, which will prob
ably be joined by and represent the
lake interests of the whole Of Utah
county, that there is plenty Of water
to spare in the lake. 1t is claimed by
the Lehi parties that the Federal hy-
geographic experts, as the result Of
careful surveys and measurements of
evaporation and Of depth, that an ap-
preparation of twelve hundred second
feet Of water could be made without
injury to any interest during the irri-
cation season. Of this twelve hundred
feet about half has already been taken,
and the other half, as claimed by the
Lehi interests, is yet subject to be
taken,
On the other hand, the Associated
Canal companies Of Salt Lake county
claim that there would be danger to
their interests if any further appro-
priation were made by any pumping
proposition from the lake in Utah coun-
ty. They set forth the settling Of a
compromise point number Of years
ago and the recession of the water
from that point, while for number of
years past there has been no flow from
the lake into the Jordan river, and
the water which the companies in this
county use has had to be pumped out
of the lake into the old dry bed of the
Jordan. Any sensible lowering Of the
lake would of course injure and posi-
bly, destroy that pumping proposition.
AS it is, at certain times when there
is a strong wind from the north, no
pumping is possible out of the lake
by these companies.
Undoubtedly the whole question will

SPELLING REFORM,
Chicago Record Herald.

The President has decided to reform
his own spelling in accordance With tho
recommendations OF the spelling reform
committee and to have his messages and
all documents and official correspondence
from the White House set up by the pub
lie printer In the manner suggested.
How far the influence OF his decision
will be felt is an interesting problem
1t may result in an extension of the new
rules to other public documents than
the ones mentioned. His example may
find imItators among the newspapers and
the magazines. II It does the reformers
will have cause to bless the day when
he became their champion. II 1t does
not It will make little difference whether
the public printer sets up executive mes
sages after the reform style of Brander
Matthews or the Independent style OF
Andrew Jackson.
1t Is to be noted, however, that the
change Is not so far-reaching as might
appear from the statement that the re-
formers list contains 900 words. For
many Of the words ere now commonly
other hand the number OF spellings in
the list that look very queer Is, COM
paratively speaking, small. No attempt
has been made 10 produce thorough
and comprehensive system, and rhe
most that Is hoped for is a gradual sub
stitution OF the new for the old.
But, even go, there are difficulties
enough In the way. Spelling reform has
always been opposed on principle by GER
tain students who insist that the old
spellings are full of significance as to
the history of the language, and much
more effective opposition comes from the
natural conservatism OF the people. They
cling to the usage with which they are
familiar and laugh at the reformed
words

THE GLUT OF GOLD,

There is one thing that is very re-
markable in the financial world, and
that is that whenever there is little
demand for money from any source
whatever there is an outcry in the
financial centers that money is becom-
ing scarce, and that something will
have to be done about it, for the relief
Of the stringency. The London Statist
has recent article which very fairly
illustrates this tendency OF the finan-
ciers, wherein it bewailed the outflow
from London during July Of e4,000,00O
in gold, 1t seems that this is consid-
cred an unusually large sum-" but
the note circulation had during the
same month expanded over e1,000,000,
which certainly should have relieved
any money stringency to considerable
extent. But that does not seem to
have come into the consideration at
all. Neither does the large accession
Of gold coming from all parts Of the
world have any consideration in the
treatment Of this question. The Aus
tralian gold, amounting to something
like S7,000,000 month, and the gold
from South Africa, amounting to So
900, 900 month, are both also ignored in
this matter. All of that gold goes di-
rect to England There would be, then,
the receipt of considerable over G5,o00,-
600 in gold during the month of July,
but the outflow of gold amounting to
f4,00o,000 is heralded as grievance.
At the end of the month Of July: when
the Statist article appeared, there was
more gold in London by 25 per cent
over the loss reported, and still the
lament was for the outflow and with
no cheering word for the inflow.
1t Is remarkable condition, but is

AFFRONT TO KANSAS.
Milwaukee Sentinel.

Every once In a while some one rises
In his place with a demoniac grin and
launches a dastardly blow at bleeding
Kansas. For many years that famous
State has been the target for the wit OF
the newspaper paragraphers, and the
avalanche OF humor increased In volume
after the Popuist landslide OF 1892 when
the Sun1ower State, along with other
misguided commonwealths, proudly lined
itself up In the Weaver column.
Merry jests at the expense of Kansas
are common. but Brlg.-Gen. Wint, In
command of the Fort Riley maneuyers,
where the Kansas militia will go into
camp this week. has perpetrated a grim
joke on the Kansans which may disrupt
the military arm Of the State govern
ment.
Gen. Wint has deliberately struck at
the leading industry of the State. by
promulgating an order to the effect that
no soldier in camp shall be permitted to
wear whiskers more than half an inch
long, Neither will hair Of greater length
be permitted to adorn the classic heads
of any OF the citizen soldiery of the Sun
flower State. When 1t is considered that
the youth who announced that the things
raised most freely In Kansas were hay,
whiskers and hell" received the indorse-
ment OF learned instructors the full
force of Gen. Wints order will be ap-
preciated.

TREASON IN THE RANKS.

1t is the very worst sort of STRAIT
egy that allows disaffection or treason
In the ranks of the army OF the front
OF the battle; and yet even the most
careful of management will not always
keep it out. In spite of the consoli-
dated, boiled-down, strictly subjective
requirements Of the ecclesiastical polit-
ical machine, there will once in a while
crop out veritable little volcano of
opposition to the church 8 main idea.
Here, for instance, is one Of the Smoot
agencies denouncing those who claim to
be holier than their fellows. 1t SAYS:
OF all men living or dead. none has won
claims himself better than the rest OF the
world. Il am holier than thoul'' has for
centuries been the mark of the insncere
and the dangerous. The Master laid the ban
OF displeasure upon that type away back in
PALESTINE And the generation OF vipers
has continued 10 this day to be the noisiest
OF patriots and the vainost of boasters.
When we consider that the whole
stock in trade of the ecclesiasts is that
they are not only holier than their fell
low men, but that they have the only
genuine holiness that there is, it is
astounding to find this denunciation of
the 'holier than thou come from the
Smoot camp. If the Smoot machine
means anything in this world it means
an exclusive claim to holiness, virtue,
and select following after "the Lord -
Not only does that cult make the claim
spoken Of, but it fatty denounces the
whole world as rebellious, unregenerate,
and "enemies Of the kingdom of God. ;"
That has been the central idea, the
ralying cry of the leaders of that cult
from the very first of the small nucleus
around which so many have since as
sembled. This Smoot agency here which
denounces that central idea, without
it would have no existence. 1t is
not only a surprise, but q remark
able instance OF the ingratitude which
the Bible denounces in the famous pas
sage: "But Jeshurun waxed fat and
kicked" And "the noisiest of pa
triots and the vainest of boasters" hits
the same crowd hard blow
Whether this modern Jeshurun Is
waxing fat or not may be matter of
a good deal of doubt; but the fact that
he is kicking is evident For what
purpose he is kicking is not so clear;
neither is 1T sure, if he is kicking for
more pap, that the pap will be forth
coming by reason Of his kick Certain
it is, however, that there are signs Of
in the Smoot camp, of
which this may be a symptom along
with the occasional spats INDUCED in
between the "brethren,' sometimes in
public and sometimes in private. The
reorganized Jeshurunite, it appears, is
not altogether happy, even in the reor-
ganization, but as a rule it will not be
difficult for him to learn that those
who kick are apt to hurt themselves
more than the thing they aim to kick
at, especially if that thing is the con-
solidated ecclesiastical power, If one
the idea that another can be
holier than thou and denounces the
person who accepts that idea, the per-
son so doing is IN the open way to
apostasy and is inviting damnation
upon his own head.

A KNOWING Thrush.

A thrush once built it's nest on the
edge of quarry. Sometimes dyna
mite was used TO break up the rock
and then bell was rung as signal
for the workmen to get out of the
way. The thrush. alarmed at the ex
plosion which followed, always flew
down from her nest when she heard
the bell, and took shelter with the
workmen. This was thought to be SC
clever that when visitors came to the
quarry, the bell was rung without dy
Mantle being used. so that they could
see the behaviour of the bird. Al
first the thrush was deceived but
finding that no explosion followed the
warning bell, in future she peepeo
over the edge of the nest; If she saw
the workmen take shelter, she came
down; but if they did not move, she
stayed quietly on her nest, as she
knew that there was no danger.

vested something over $4,000, 600 in
Reading railroad stock last year, when
1t was selling at about $50, and he was
able TO become the owner OF $4,000
shares. Last Tuesday the price of
these shares was 1858, and Mr.. Prick
is said to have let them all go. Other
people wanted them more than he did
and he wouldn't be unaccommodatine
he seems to be about $7,5O0,0 900 rich
er than he was year ago. by virtue
OF this one transaction, and we do not
see that anyone can question his right
to the money.
POSSIBLY Mr.. Frick does not believe
that Reading shares are really worth
quite so much as they have been sell
ing for recently. He felt sure year
ago that they were worth more than
the market price at that time. Now
he regards them as somewhat overval-
ued. Moreover, there is possibility
OF another anthracite coal strike in
the spring.
Who are the kindly persons, we
wonder, who have been so good as to
take Mr. Tricks $4,000 Reaung
shares off his hands at $3.50 or more
per share9 Do they cherish the belief
that because these shares commanded
Three times the price of year ago
therefore they will sell for $3.50 a
