THE EDITORS MEETING.

While the Editors of Minnesota
were last week 'sknee deep" so to
speak, in getting out the tax list, a
sufficient number stole away to make
the annual business meeting of the
Association a gratifying success-the
most practical business-like and in
teresting in the history OF the organi-
zation Topics of interest were pre-
scented and discussed and it is believed
that good will come from the many
practical ideas brought out. No
class of business men, no profession or
following could SO easily combine for
mutual advantage as the editors, land
yet cooperation has heretofore been a
stranger to the fraternity. Lit is be-
lieyed, however, that the members
have come to realizing sense of the
duties they owe to themselves, and
that future meetings of a. business
character will be given over to some
thing beside desultory, impracticaland
uninteresting by-talk. The interest
manifested in the last meeting DEM
onstrated that this was to be athe
case. Every member present entered
into hearty co-operationsswith the bus
mess objects proposed, and it will not
be long until Minnesota uwill take
front rank among the older states
with an association second to none in
Importance and good works.
The entertainments afforded the
visiting editors and the ladies by the
local committee were hugely enjoyed.
The ladies were most Hospitality en-
tertained. An afternoon at the Met
ropolitan opera house was Denjoyed
through the hospitality of Manager
Scott while that popular paper house
conducted by Wright Barrett & Still
well, gave them a ride about the getty
and a magnificent luncheon at the
Aberdeen. These gentlemen Cdid
themselves proud, and too much praise
cannot be given them and their genial
of the type depart
ment, Mr.. Baker, for the royal good
time afforded the ladies.
The selection ofsMr. I'll. P. Hall, of
the st. Paul NeaCs, as President, and
j. A. Johnson, of the st. Peter Herald
for Secretary were especially betitting
and success under their management
cannot fail The meeting of the Ma
tional Association in July will be the
largest gathering Of newspaper men
ever witnessed in America, and as
the Summer meeting of the Minneso-
TIA Association will be held at the
same time a grand season for the
fraternity may be looked
fOrwa to.

THE efforts Of certain Minneapolis
representatives in the State legisla-
ture to handicap and embarrass Mr.
Lowry il his efforts to complete his
great system of street railway in the
Twin Cities, is not only uncharitable
but it is downright ingratitude. If
Mr.. Lowry is let alone he will give to
these two great and growing cities
the finest. most complete and most
thoroughly equipped system in the
United States. He has started out to
do this. and if treated with anything
like fairness he will accomplish the
desired aud trulydesirable end. What
ever else may be charged against him,
no one C&a truthfully say that Lowry
has not been q great factor in the up
building OF Che Twin Cities. His time
and money is always ready to be given
10 any public cause, and his wealth is
uSed to advance the commercial in
Gerests Of the cities. The bill intro
dUced to reduce the fare between GER
tain hours 10 cents, and the ''nO seat
nc fare" bill, are both unreasonable
measures. Any one who wants to ride
5wo or three miles ought to be willing
10 pay a nicIIle, and when one can ride
from one city to the other for 10 cents
the favor sAOUld be appreciated. The
fare is as cieapas any city offers, while
incorporation will have as fine syS-
tenn Of railway as st. Paul and Mime
apolis when The redoubtable Thomas
gets his work completed. The four or
i've millions Of dollars he has invested
in giving these cities unsurpassed
rapid transit is worth everything to
them, and has given them the reputa-
tion for enterprise which nothing else
mas. Should the ''no seat no fare bill"
pass it will be the public and not the
company taatWill suffer, for when the
seats were filled, the conductor Of
ear would deny further admittance,
and the result would be indescribable
confusion, not to say loss of time and
money to many laboring'as well as
business men. No doubt Mr.. Lowry
has valuable franchises, but he got
them through legitimate channels
and is striving to give the public the
best service that money brains and
ingenuity will afford, in recognition
thereof That he is doing this no one
can gainSay. Then why not wait until
his systems are completed and he has
had chance to place his bonds on the
market with which to raise the prince
iy sum necessary to finish the work
now only nicely begun. 1t will then
be time enough to bring him to ac-
,<countability If he shall abuse the
privileges granted, or shall unduly
WELD the power he holds. He is en-
titled to such treatment from the
standpoint of fair business principles
and honest business dealings.

PURE WATER.

An Experimental City Well to be
Started To-Morrow Morning.
The committee appointed some weeks
since to devise ways and means for de-
termining whether or not sufficient
supply of good and pure water can be got
from deep wells east of the city, for city
purposes, has not been idle.
To-day work will be started at Oak
Park on the piping for an experimental
well to be bored there, and the boring
will begin on Wednesday. a. Abbott
stated to a RECoRD-UNIoN reporter last
evening that the money necessary 10
meet the expense Of boring the we'll had
been provided for, and that the committee
is going to push the thing right along.
Oak Park was selected, he said, be-
cause 1t is easy of access and is on the
line of the great gravel belt, which is be-
lieved TO be capable of providing an
abundant supply of water for all city
purposes.
AS soon as the committee feels assured
that the well has good supply of water,
powerful pump will be put in to test its
capacity. One well will determine how
many will be required for the city, and if
the showing be satisfactory then the city
Will be urged to take hold of the matter.
1t looks as if the iong-sought-for light
that the people have prayed for so earn
estly will yet break over the city. With
full supply OF good, pure water, good
streets, proper system of sewerage and

her down for more than quarter of a
century, Sacramento would at once take
her proper place in the front rank of pro-

ROBBINS AND ZWIFFBIl
They are Arrested in This City ant
Give Bonds.

Ihey are Arrested In This City and
Give Bonds.
William t. Robbins and Henry ZwiffeI,
the men who Were recently arrested ut
Folsom for embezzlement, but who dis
appeared after being released on their
own recognizance, were arrested in this
city yesterday by Constable Burke of
Folsom.
They were taken before Justice Henry,
and, after giving good and sufficient
bonds, were released.
The story of the charges made against
Robbins and Zwiffel have been published
in the RECoRD- UNION. The men leased
dairy farm from w. H. Williams last
winter with eighty-seven head of cows at
q rental of 500. They got behind in their
rent several hundred dollars, and Will
Jams claims that they contented them
selves with informing him that they had
no money. In the meantime, Williams
alleges, his tenants disposed of sixteen
head of his young cattle to party in
Sierra County, for which he caused their
arrest on charges of embezzlement.
They were apparently about to leave
the ranch with all their outfit when
served with the warrant. The men were
taken before Justice Anderson, who first
placed them under 5000 bonds to appear
on the 18th for examination, but as they
could not give the bond they were re-
leased on their own recognizance.

CARDS AND BALLOT BOOKS.


He furnishes each election board twelve
cards of instruction TO voters how to
mark and fold their ballots, etc. At
least three of these are TO be posted at
each polling place conspicuously.
The ballots are to be bound in stub
books of 100 ballots to each, and delivered
and receipted for by number, as the law
clearly directs.
NO REASON TO BORROW TROUBLE.
It will thus be seen that there is no
reason whatever to borrow trouble or
forecast difficulty about the approaching
election. The whole process is simple,
understandable by every voter Of fair
intelligence, and there is no need for any
other instruction, pointers or aids than
the law gives.
The new ballot law was enacted in re-
sponse to the demand of the people. 1t
should be faithfully adhered to, and it
can be executed more easily than are the
ordinary BUSINESS details OF selling, box
ing, billing, delivering for shipment and
receipting for goods by any clerk III any
wholesale house.
We believe that Auditor Young will
faithfully follow the law; but if he is cor
rectly reported, regret will be felt that he
anticipates difficulty, or that he has
sought advice from the laundering eX-
pertinent in Oakland, if the reports of the
Bay press are TO be credited.

A DEGRADED CREATURE

Arrest Of Il Man for Placing His Wife
in u House of Ili-Fame.
Officers Campbell and Mclaughlin yes
terday arrested a young man named
Frank Sanchey on a charge preferred
by his wife's mother of placing his wife
i'll house OF ill-tame.
Sanchey was married little over a
year ago to young woman in San Jose.
He was worthless fellow, and on their
coming to this city recently his wife took
up her abode i'll an L-srreet crib, Sanchey
being supported off the wages of her sin
fitness.
The girls mother endeavored yester-
day to persuade her daughter to abandon
her shameful life, but as she refused to do
so the heart broken mother caused
Sanchey's arrest.
Under the law it is felony for a hus-
band to place his wife in house of ILL
fame, and Sanchey's chances Of going to
the penitentiary are very bright.

Thursday evening of last week, when it
was noticed that he was drinking. He

in Toronto, Canada, where his mother is

Deceased was man of fine education
and about So years old. He was esteemed
as q thoroughly honest and kind-hearted

is known why he should take his life, but
he was often despondent and not long
