TIE GRANT MEN.

To satisfy some doubling ones, General
Grant has announced that he does support
the nomination of General Garfield, and
adds that he can see no reason under the
sun for any Republican doing otherwise.
Exactly. Right here let us hint to those
people who are following Democratic ex-
ample, and throwing spears at the Grant
men, and specializing over their defeat,
that it would be just as well to "quit. !"
The Grant men were the first to pledge
themselves to support the nominee, and
are now his warm and sincere supporters.
They are the kind of Republicans who
have not faltered, as we read their history,
and their leaders are fathers in that party.
To see party organs constantly chuckling
over the defeat OF the Grant men, and
doubling their adhesion, is sufficient to
move the independent press to point out
the unrcasonableness of the proceeding,
and call halt in the name OF reason.

/" MORE WATER TALK"


a contemporary treats the "water
boom lightly, and thinks it an annual
complaint of but slight Importance. Ii the
paper in question will take the pains to
sound the public sentiment on the subject
rather than its own prejudices, it will be as
tonished to find ninety nine out of one hun
dred of our citizens favor the position taken
bythe REcoRD- UNION. Its asimple one 1t
calls only for inquiries, for development of
facts, and these no city officer, however
much he may be in love with river sedi-
ment and tule extract, can, in discharge of
his duty, honestly refuse to make for the
people.
Is it true, as alleged, that over $500, 600
gallons of water, pure, clear, soft and
healthful, is drawn daily from bored wells
in and near the city?
Is it true that, with her pipes all laid
and her engines and pumps in hand, Sac
ramento can, on her own property sink
wells, strike clear, pure water and put it
into the pipes as cheaply or cheaper than
she does the machine destroying grit she
now pumps up?
Is it true that scientists differ wildly as
to the purity of river supplies, and that
such men as Professor Huxley declare the
waters of rivers receiving town and coun.
try drainage to be dangerous for domestic
uses?
1t viii not cost the city dollar to aacer-
tain these facts, and "off-color river
water sophistries will not suffice as replies
We have Board of Health competent and
probably willing to aid in the inquiries,
and they can be made and reported upon
inside of one week Who is it that fears
inquiry Who is it that closes his eyes to
the fact that from fifty to seventy-iive
wells are now in use, and that the city
water revenue is threatened? Who is it
that talks of sipage water at ll6 feet depth,
and who is it that does not know that
sipsge at considerable depth is natural f.
tration and better than surface Aowg Who

mill forever with the stone in one end of
the bag and the wheat in the other? a
hint is thrown out that it Is possible a
mountain supply may be obtained through
fumes. Possibly. But that means money
to a corporation and round bounty to
outsiders. no revenue to the city, and still
river supply yet it too should have in
curry. Bat if, as has been alleged, there
is subterranean river OF pure water be-
meath us, with no ownership back Of it, Why
not look after it The truth l., no denial
has been made of the facts relative to wells
reported in the local columns OF the RECORD.
UNION, and the victims, so termed, who
bore the wells and use the water, know
that they are undeniable-for instance.
Messrs Scheld, Slnborn, Borches, Aiken,
Rose, Lachman, Tryon, Knauer, Cald-
erwool, Weissl and others. 1t may
be well to recall the fact that Stockton has
supply from subterranean source, pays no
tribute to a ditch company, and her people
drink no sediment.

RUSSIA.

In Russia there is stir to the very cen
ter on account of the advent of Barker, an
American, backed by powerful American
syndicate, who proposes to introduce grain
construct Siberian railway, and
engage in coal and iron explorations. Bark
err seems to have been received with great
favor, and this because of the honesty and
faithfulness he has displayed in the dis
charge of contracts he had with the Cars
Government in supplying cruisers. If more
of Yankee spirit is to be infused into Rus
sian policy, and internal Improvements, and
industrial conditions are to be
the rule, Russia may see her true way to
the speedy pacifcation of her murmuring
people.

this morning the report of revolver was
heard by the station agent at the railroad
junction, about two miles from here. No at
tention, however, was paid to it at the time,
but about two hours later, as engineer
Haley, from the train, entered the waiting
room of the station he was Mortified to be-
hold tie ifeiess body of well-dressed man
lying upon q seat in pool of blood, small
five-shooter revolver lying upon the floor.
1t proved to be the body of Alfred Bibby,
importer of kid gloves, whose place of bust
ness is No. Kearny street, San Francisco,
and who resides at San Rafael. Upon exam
ination it was found that he had shot himself
in the right temple. The ball ranged around
the upper interior of the skull and passed
out of the lower left side of the head, from
which death must have resulted instantly
There was nothing found upon his person to
indicate the motive for the deed. The
CHASTITY wound in his head and the dripping
blood formed most shocking contrast with
the neatness of If not elegant attire of the
man.

Sunday-School Convention

Lorain and Medina counties were
recently associated in one Sunday
school district under the Ohio State
union. Now Cuyahoga and Sum-
init counties have beer added, making
one of the largest and most influential
district in the State. The district con-
ventions under the old arrangement
were stirring affairs, and that soon to
be held with the enlarged territory will
doubtless prove even more so. The
District Mass Convention is to occur q;
Elyria, Wednesday evening to Friday
afternoon, October 18th to 10th. The
Elyria people generously offer free
entertainment to all attendants upon
the convention. They only hope that
their hospitality will be fully taxed, no
one need fear scrimp entertainment,
and as for the convention itself, the
programme gives ample promise of a
good time, practical talent, under
known and well tried names, will en-.
sure the success of the convention. The
invitation is hereby extended to al
who are interested in the cause of re-
ligiOn and morality. 1t Is hoped thai
every one will return to his home from
the convention with a better knowledge

IT is stated that the Empress Eugenie
has decided to leave England, being
moved to that determination by Par
liamenfs setting its face definitely
against the erection in Westminster
Abby monument to her deceased son
the Prince Imperial. She Will probably
go to Switzerland to live, and intends
to erect a mausoleum wherever she fixes
her residence, and remove the remains
of the Emperor and the Prince from
England. There seems NO reason why a
woman of her pecuniary means should
not build as fine monument as she
thinks suitable for her son. and it Is
mcther's partiality that leads her TO think
Westminster Abby the proper place for
his memory to be most prominently per-
petuated. ..-..-.....-t
