Wells does not know just what the change will be or how it will about, by recuperation by revolution English methods are going be changed; English habits must give way to 
 He asks whether the English will have the ability to shake off the industrial demoraizat ton caused by the war, and with the advent of peace begin a new and more vigorous national life Mir Wells is not altogether optimistic about the pro gressive qualities of bis native country He cites as a typical example of the British character the Booking Bairtree road" and the ridiculous which perraits the people who dwell either side of it to live separate communities. He says garding this singular thoroughfare:

Members Of the University club to jhe number of fifty gathered at the Country club last evening and after enjoying what was termed "an ele- eant dinner listened to q number of interesting talks, the first and most brilliant of which was Dr. Percivai Lowell, on Should the Immigrant Laws of the United States Be Changed?"
 Dr. Lowell stated that in his opin- iCn the laws of the country at pres cit, which cover the immigrant who comes from across the water should be radically changed The class and quantity of immigrants should be watched carefully, and all undesirable be excluded. Dr. Lowell was antag- onistic to the income tax law. declar- ing that it was caused by the flood of people coming in to this country. He labelled it as A tax on brains and said that the proportion of those who suffer by the tax. and those who have made it was sixty to one. His talk was full of witty gems and thor Cughly enjoyed by the club members Mayor George U. Young who was a guest of the club, delivered q short talk on the rights of man as pertain ing to present day civilization. l.. II. Chalmers was called on for talk, but as he explained he was 6 candidate for membership, he was afraid if he said much. it would react to his detriment

 Dr. Williams said that in his opin- | ion there were several classes of de-

The Basis of Preparedness

In inquiry by of the house naval mittee Wednesday a rather irrelevant coloquy took place follows:
 There is today he Admiral Grant, said, "one power that has enough navy to land even if we had the 1S5 submarines in our present fleet
 And only one, Ninterjected Representative Kelly.
 T think only one,' agreed Admiral Grant.
 And you think it would not be necessary to build navy as large that power?" asked Rep resentative Galloway
 The admiral assented and to Representative Calloways demand to know why he thought so said:
 The relations between the countries is pretty close My personal impression is there never will he war between this country and the power have in mind
 Admiral Grant declared any enemy fleet must be considerably larger than defending fleet to force a landing.
 Reference was, course made the British navy Probably in the country would ad- vocate the building af a equal to tue British navy. could in circumstances have need of it. But Great Britain needs it guard not only her usu!ar position but also her far-f flung dominion palm and pine.' Great Britain would not long survive without it.
 But the irrelevance of which speak is found in the statement of Admiral Grant that the rela- tions between tlis country and Great Britain pretty close" His personal opinion that there wiH never be "between this country and the have in mind' is of such small value that it should not be taken into account in the making up of plans for preparedness. The country the admiral had in mind is the only European country, with the exception of Spain with which have been at war, counting a slight friction between and France and have been at twice with the country the admiral had in mind The relations between and Great Britain nearly close those that existed between Ger many and Russia for fifty years before the break ing of the present

According to an order issued yc7- terday by the state corporation corn mission, irrigation companies are to hereafter be considered as a public service corporation and must give service to all applicants under the regulation as prescribed by the state commission
 The ruling was made in the com missions order regarding the San Carlos Canal x Irrigating company. complaint having been made that this Pinal county enterprise was not de- livering satisfactory service to those who were paying for the same.
 The project was started in 1881 and dam was made across the Gila river about six miles east of Flor ence. Arrangements were made to supply water to about 10000 acres in the locality. The project was not much of success, and in 1885, bonds were sold to meet some of the eX- penses of the company, although it is said that none of the money thus raised was ever applied on the pro- ject.
 i1uiiHS liIt NttlIS Dl lJlo to IyIa, the sum of $25,S19 was loaned the company by some of the farmers who were to get water from the canal. the money to have been applied for the purpose of repairing the canals. It is alleged that the holding com pany neglected and refused to repair thelr canals so that in time the en- terprise deteriorated so that it was only able to irrigate about twenty five hundred acres. The complaint flled with the commission asked that the company be compelled to refund the amounts paid in during the three years mentioned above. and that they also be forced to repair thelr property so that. it would be capable of supplying water to all of the land which it was supposed tn irrigate.
 Yesterdays order bearing on the matter sets out the fact that the commission. while holding that the lrrlgating project comes under their Jurisdiction, believes that the farm CTS should apply through the courts for restitution of their moneyt The canal company however is directed 10 put it's property into good shape Ter the supplying of d sufficient amount Of water on or before March first next

THE RECORD

If this country were at war with Mexico and the ports of Mexico blockaded undoubtedly they would be, it is not probable that government would hold to the doctrine that neutrals had alienabe right to beat the blockade by landing goods Havana, Kingston, before sending them to point the Mexican coast. It is not likely that would abandon the blockade because goods entering Mexico that unable to inter cept. Secretary Lansing may not approve of the doctrine that cargo that may not be carried through the frcnt door of country may enter through back door; Secretary Lansing may also deny that blockades effectiveness, and hence it's legality, is to be judged in view of all the circum- stances. Rut the record stands that precedents do not support his contention Our supreme court has committed itSef to the doctrine that that which may not be done directly may not be done indirectly It has also committed to what may be called it's common methods in judging the legality of blockades. So doing, the court placed itself in cord with international law Incidentally it protected in a legitimate the military interests of this country-New York Globe
