TO-DAY,S ELECTION.

The annual school election takes place
to-day. All the tickets in the field stand
upon level and the voter can scarcely
go wrong. For the leading office there is
no opposition, and the contention will,
therefore, be in the wards for Directors.
All the people ought to turn out and
vote and not allow the election to go into
history with a slim record. The interest
the people feel in educational matters
should be manifest by large vote. So
far as the election of Freeholders is con-
cerned that is matter of small import
ance, because few voters will elect them
as well as great number. The Trustees
having exercised their right by declaring
that it is wise to choose Freeholders for
charter purposes, it is not possible for the
people to vote against them; they have
certified to them seventeen names, from
among which fifteen may be selected by
each voter or new names be written in by
the voter.
AS to the election system it is simplic-
ity itself. All voter has to do is to re-
ceive his ballot after announcing his reg
ister number; enter booth and stamp
opposite the names he wishes to vote for;
fold his ticket from the bottom so as to
leave its number ION the margin of the
back exposed; return to the ballot box,
and being identified by his number, cast
bis ballot. The poll list clerks may,
When the voter receives his ballot, put
opposite the name on the poll list
the number of the ballot the voter
receives. When he returns they can
instantly report to the Election Board
the number that should appear on the
back of the folded ballot, which will
Identify the voter, and the ballot will then
be cast. Or, they may jot down the reg
lister number as well in order to expedite
voting. There can thus be no confusion,
no crowding, no man jostled from the
polls and every voters ballot remain in
vialably secret.
There is one thing the voters must not
forget. II they stamp opposite the word
straight they must put no stamp oppo-
site any name whatever; if they do the
Board of Election is compelled by the laao
TO throl0 out the cote. The voter can safely
vote straight. "But if he does not do so
he has but three names to stamp, Super
intendent and two directors. After that
he can select and stamp for fifteen Free
holders. 1t is easily done, and the man
so stupid as not to be able to do it ought
to lose his vote. If he cannot read, is
blind or illiterate, he can have a ballot
clerk under oath to stamp his ticket for
him.

RAILROAD NOTES.

Vestfbu1e Cars for Oakland and Ala
meda-Snow on the Oregon Line.
1t is reported upon good authority that
the Southern Pacific will soon change the
Oakland system into vestibule trains,
and thus attempt to do away with the
deadhead travel. The cars, it is said, are
to be constructed in this city.
1t is thought that as soon as the rail
road company takes full possession of
the Oregon road, the end of the division
will be changed from Ashland to Grants
Pass, where the company now has all
necessary machine shops. In fact, all the
line repairing for Southern Oregon is
done at Grants Pass.
The contractors Of Castle Crag Tavern
at Lower Soda Springs, Shasta County,

the tavern.
About five inches of snow fell at Duns-
muir, on the Oregon Division, last week.

snow has fallen. He does not intend to
take the Cyclone out until the very last
than he has in the Rotary. Mr.. Agler is
used to fighting snow, and so is Joe Mott,
the Roadmaster, so they are likely to
keep the road clear if anyone can. Mr..
Lindberry was too fat to get around in

A PLAIN CASE PLAINLY STATED.

That the State Worlds Fair Commits
State and to trample its constitutional
provisions under foot becomes more
plainly apparent the more the subject is
considered. The Legislature made an ap-
preparation of $500, 900 for the purpose of
constructing building and collecting
and maintaining an exhibit of the pro-
ducts of California therein. The Com
mission, however, after securing the de-
cision of the Supreme Court favorable to
the constitutionality of the appropria-
ton, proposes to divert it from the pur-
poses intended by the law and to give it
to individual exhibitors, who are indi-
vidual advertisers, advertising private
enterprises and the wares which they
manufacture.
Now suppose that instead of the law
which was enacted, something like the
following had been proposed: 'Be it en-
acted. etc., that the sum of 100000 is
hereby appropriated from the State Treas
ury, from funds not otherwise appro-
priated, for the purpose of paying the
expenses of individual exhibitors from
California to Chicago in 1S93." Such a
bill could not have passed the Legis-
lature, or either house, and there was a
time at which we believe it could not
have received the sanction of the Gov
ernor; and if it had passed and had re-
ceived the sanction of the Governor, it
would have been clear infraction of the
Constitution. Any other position is
founded in meaningless sophistry and
contemplate casuistry. The people of
the State of California have enacted an
organic law which protects them against
paying the taxes for advertising private
enterprises or the business of any indi-
viduals in the State; and the State Com
mission in making this misuse of the
public fund is accomplishing by indirec-
ton what never could have been accom-
plished by open, straightforward, direct
means. 1t will be interesting hereafter
to note, and it will be the pleasure of this
paper to carefully report to the slightest
detail the manner in which the money
appropriated in this way is used.

A LONELY DEATH

Charles Decker Found Dead In the
Hills Near Folsom.
On Thursday afternoon, says the Fol-
som Telegraph of Saturday, Clark Bill

fruit ranch, about two miles from here.
went out hunting. During the afternoon
he noticed man lying on the ground,
and supposed he was sleeping. On pass
ing near the place on his return home he
observed the man in the same position,
and on going up to him was startled to
find that he was dead.
He Immediately returned to the house
and informed man who works with
him of what he had found. 1t was quite
late and dark and they decided to wait
until morning to inform the authorities.
Yesterday Mr.. Billingsby told Judge
Steele, and the Coroner was at once noti-
fed. Judge Steele was instructed to hold
an inquest on the remains.
The body was found lying in mining
hole about three hundred yards from the
packing house. The dead man wore
short beard and was dressed in overalls
and flannel shirt He had taken off his
shoes and one stocking, and he had
spread his quilt on the ground to lie on,
taking his coat off and using it as pill
low
Deceased was named Charles Decker
and resided around Folsom for wears.
He was partially paralyzed, and.was not
considered very bright mentally. The
jury, after investigating the matter, re-
turned verdict that the deceased came
to his death from exposure.

THE STREET RAILWAY MATTER


The City Trustees are expected this
morning to decide definitely upon the
street electrical railway matter 1t should
not be put of, or construction moment
delayed.
The railway company originally wished
to cross the south end at Sixth street. As
a business proposition that was certainly
most in the interest of the company. But
the company clearly has yielded to public
opinion in asking modification of its
franchise, so that it can run down Third
street to the Art Gallery. That was what
the Trustees themselves desired, and if
the grant is not now made the response
bility of that end of the city being indefi-
nitely isolated and deprived of street rail-
way facilities viii not be upon the rail
way company.
That corporation having conceded what
the people asked of it, should be allowed
to relate its Third-street line to its main
system on the east as business wisdom
dictates. It can be safely trusted to go
the route that will yield the best revenue,
and that must be the route that will ac-
commodate the largest number of people,
The company has not, as we under
stand, at any time entertained any
thought of abandoning K street below
Tenth, and it says positively that it will
not be abandoned. There has been talk
of abandoning it above Tenth, but there
has been no decision reached, and
the matter is an open question. There
have been some consultations relative to
turning the southeast travel down K
street, as the northeast is now turned
down street. But that is not question
that is of concern in the grant for the
Third and P street route. It should be at
once given, and the company urged to
build and equip it, and thus relate it to
It's main system on the southeast as it
desires, for 1t is, as we have said, certain
that it will not choose routes in a way to
essen travel, and it cannot therefore act
The record-union., 1891-12-07

injuriously to the interests of the largest
number.
The danger exists that if the Third and
2 street route is denied this morning, the
railway company will abandon the whole
matter of crossing on lower street,
leave the Second Ward without street
railway facilities altogether, and trust to
a future Board of Trustees granting the
company the right to cross at Sixth street,
which it has always held was the best
business proposition.

road leading from the county road to each lot
so all Will nave an open drive to and from
their land. The soil is of dark color deen
rich and easily cultivated. 1t is all cleared az
underbrush, which is great saving to a be-

not not less 5 t1an S20 per acre Nearly every lot
has wood enough for family use for wears
Corn grows without irrigation; in fact no irri-

berries. Orange trees planted at Loomis had
no water except rainfall, grew well and but,
