VOTE TIE BONDS.
Let Advocates of improvement Turn
Out and Vote To-day,
And Shame the silurians Into Silence
We Must Have Good Levees-
The Polling Places.

takes place to-day, and there should be
no question as to the verdict to be re-
turned from the ballot-boxes. Sacra-
mentans have the deserved reputation
abroad of always voting the necessary
money Tor needed improvements, and the
result of to-day's election should Justify
this reputation.
Everybody recognizes the fact that out
side capital should be encouraged to seek
investment here, and all thinking men
must admit that necessary element of
such encouragement consists of having
the city amply protected against any
possible injury from freshets. The time
has come when the levees need raising
and broadening to make such security an
absolute fact, hence there is but one
thing for the people to do-vote the bonds
required to raise the money for the work.
The number opposed to this improve
ment of the levees-or, rather, to the
raisingof the money for such improve
ment-is very small, to be sure, but their
votes count heavily in a case where the
affirmative requires two votes for every
one cast in the negative.
There is, of course, no question about
how the people stand in this matter, but
sentiment does not go far against actual
ballots; therefore it is necessary that ali
friends of the proposed bond Issue rally
to its support and make the victory such
an overwhelming one as will show to the
rest of the State that our people are alive
to the importance of protecting the city
and all the vested interests therein.
A two-thirds vote will be required to
carry the day, and if it can be made prac-
tically unanimous, all the better. If the
friends of the measure turn out in good
force, the few silurianS, seeing that they
have not the ghost of a chance to defeat it,
may crawl back into their holes rather
than face public opinion.
Some Of the best citizens of the city
have volunteered their services for to-
day, not only ON the election boards, but
as committees TO canvass for votes in be-
half of the bonds. They are mostly bust
ness men, whose time is valuable, but
fhey are public-Spirited enough to sacri
fee their immediate personal interests for
the good Of the whole community.
