LABOR NEWS
a Very Noticeable Difference in Its

a Very Noticeable Difference in Its
Quality.
The Sacramento TrddeSDean, the paper
lately started in this city in the interest Of
organized labor, says:
There was a time when labor news could not
be got into the Sacramento dailies even if
furnished without having to be hunted for
Now our respected contemporaries tumble all
over themselves and each other in frantic eff
forts to secure intelligence of union meetings.
We hope this change of heart may prove per-
manent, and not ooze out at the tinger-ends at
a time of trouble when their good will might
be of great benefit. We Will pray for you,
brethren,
Editor Sanborn does the RECORD
UNION an injustice in the statement
quoted. This paper has always published
all the legitimate labor news it could OBJ
tain, not for the purpose of currying favor
with any particular class or organization,
but in order that it might place before its
readers everything that is Of public in
terest. 1t is making no greater effort now
to obtain such news than IL has in the
past; but the change is in the policy of
those at the head of the different labor or
CARNATIONS.
The meetings of the various trades
unions are held with closed doors, and
reporters are not admitted. The only
way to obtain knowledge of what takes
officers. Formerly it appeared to be the
policy of such officers to refuse to furnish
any information unless the union was
engaged in some controversy, and then
they wanted only one-sided statements
published. We are glad to note that a
much broader and more liberal spirit is
now being manifested. The only labor
news" ever declined by this paper was
certainly of the class which was ''fur-
nished without having to be hunted for"
1t consisted of communications contain
ing virulent and abusive attacks upon
citizens and their business, and such con-
tribuions will be as promptly declined
in the future as in the past.
The RECORD UNION is and always has
been anxious to publish all legitimate la
Dor news, because almost all of the wage
earners of the city are its patrons, and in
common with all others are entitled to
the news from newspaper; but it is not
ambitious to be organ" of~any class,
party or organization.

ANOTHER WATER SCHEME.

Proposed Plan to Run Ditch Water
Down from the American River.
statement is going the rounds OF the
press to the effect that c.. G. Jennings is
visiting the foothill towns in the interest
OF a project to supply Sacramento, Au-
burn and Colfax with water. The propo-
sition is to take water from the American
River at point not far from Iowa Hill
and convey it in ditch by way of Colfax
to Auburn first and then on down to
Sacramento. The ditch line, when it
reaches Auburn, will be about thirty
miles in length, counting all the crooks
and turns. A company has been incor-
porated in a sum of about 81 900 000
One thing is quite certain-Sacramen
does not want any more ditch water. She
has had enough of that article in times
past. The fact has been demonstrated
that there is an abundant supply Of good,
pure water right at home that can be
had for the pumping.

1t was learned yesterday that thieves
had entered the house of Mrs. Clara Prem

the place.
Mrs. Prentice left the city several days
ago, and placed the house in charge of a
young man whose home is in Gait. He
went to the latter place on Saturday, and
on returning found that burglars had
made a thorough overhauling of the
house. Clothing, etc., was scattered about
the floor in almost every room, and the
contents of trunks were spilled out in the
search of the thieves.

TOOK COLLEGE MONEYS.
The Female Principal of q New York Insti-
tuition Dismissed,

tutiOn dismissed.
The New York Herald this morning said:
Mrs. E. S. West, who for six years was the
lady principal of Rutgers Female College at
Nos. 40 and 46 West 55th street, stands con-
victed by her own confession of converting the
college funds to her own use. There is proof
that by most original and unique methods she
has taken more than 5000 which should have
gone into the treasury of the institution. But
the aggregate loss through her is much
greater, although the exact amount cannot be
stated. Certain it is, however that the drain
upon its resources was SO heavy that the life Of
the college was actually menaced at one time.
The discovery was made in August last that
Mrs. West had appropriated 500 from the pri-
mary department When confronted with the
evidence she admitted having taken the money
and offered to resign, but at the same time she
made SO plausible an explanation that major
ity of the trustees were inclined to regard her
action as an error rather than as fault and
she was allowed TO retain her position.
After this discovery there were more devel-
opments. They came so rapidly that thew trod
upon each others heels, and, finally on October
q last the lady principal was summoned be-
fore a meeting of the trustees and summarily
dismissed.
Il am now awaiting" Mrs. West has since
said. 1.-The leading of Providence regarding my
future movements
DIR. George W. Sampson. the president Of the
college, admitted yesterday that Mrs. Vests
connection with it had ended for the above
reasons He said he was inclined to regard her
as u sort of kleptomaniac. He was reluctant to
talk about the matter, for all relations between
her and the institution had ceased when she
left it.
