WHAT IT MEANS.

A million dollars in cold cash could not
purchase the beneficial advertising that
Sacramento will get for nothing, if the
clear water proposition carries to-day.
Two millions of dollars in cold cash can
not repair the damage to this city if the
clear water proposition is downed at the
polls to-day. There is not real estate
agency in the city that does not know
this to be true; there is not an insurance
agency in this city that does not know
this to be the exact truth. There is not
an investor in Sacramento who is not
perfectly aware of this fact. Some Of
them, unfortunately, are opposed never
theless to the clear water proposition, be-
cause out of the depreciation that would
follow defeat, they would reap harvest
of coin, blood money wrung from homes
to go at sacrifice when the tumble be-
gins. We are not alarmists. On the con-
trary it is our cool judgment that every
vote against clear water to-day is nail in
the heart of city progress, growth and
economy, and bear in the real estate
market

SHADOWS says an optimistic con-
temporary, ''are proofs that the sun is
shining" Men may like proverbs that
are comforting, but as a rule how hollow
and shallow are most of the encouraging
sort. 1t is true enough that the light of
the sun casts a shadow behind an inter
vening object. But what does it prove
outside of the realm of natural philoso-
ply? Absolutely nothing. 1t does not
prove that the present troublous times
portend good times. AS a matter of fact,
the proverb quoted is simply without
meaning or value with reasoning being.
We are told that sit is always darkest
just before dawn" But that is not true
as everyone knows. There are many
nights when it is darkest just after night
has set in, and when it is lightest from
that on till dawn. But suppose it to be
true as the proverb runs, is it reason to
guide any human being? Sentimentally
it may be. probably is true, that the reci-
Iatloh OF sucn proverbs helps some weak
souls. But consider, if they who need
such staff are not really injured by lean
ing upon it? Self-helpfulness is not
aided by trust in any such means to bet
ter ends. We prefer the man who pins
no faith to sounding proverbs, but puts
his trust in reason, his own strong arm
and his determination not to be downed.
The truth is, that there are no conditions
that proverb may not be found to fit.
All such as preach the gospel Of trusting
to luck, that advise hope not backed by
energy, that encourage us to expect some
thing we do not labor for, are shams, de-
ceits and broken reeds. Men of grit, and
pluck, and moral resolution, have no use
tor them.

The DUTY OF THE CITIZEN TO-
DAY.

The duty of the citizen who is not mar
row in his views, and has the foresight to
see what will inevitably happen if the
vote of to-day is adverse, is to set aside
all and singular business of all kinds and
concerns, and work for clear water at the
polls and among his neighbors.
The RECORD UNION never has un-
wisely advised this people; it has never
advanced proposition for the good of
the city that has not been approved by
trial; it has never opposed.:a proposition
relating to the city's domestic economy
that time has not justified its position.
The REcoRD-UNIoN has large and vital
interests in Sacramento; its chief concern
is the welfare of our State and the Capital
City and all the people thereof. 1t makes
it its business to feel the pulse of public
sentiment in this State; to know what the
people think of their Capital City.
The RECoRD-UNIoN now says to the
citizens of Sacramento that they cannot
afford to defeat the clear water PROPOSE
ton. This journal believes the PROPOSE
tion to be wise, safe, well-guarded, and
the best scheme ever advanced for the
city's acceptance. To down it will be to
do irreparable injury to the city. Twenty
years will not suffice to undo the damage.
So we say to the citizens of our town,
you owe it to yourselves, to the State of
which your town is the Capital, to turn
out to-day and roll up a vote in the al-
frmatiye that will reverberate through
the length and breadth of the State like
paean of joy and virtuous triumph.
Do not content yourselves with stand
ing about the polls and arguing with the
opposition; 60 and hunt out your neigh
Dor and bring him to the polls. If he is
in doubt ask him his reason and disabuse
his fears. You have only to point to the
truth and stand fast upon the facts of the
case.
The thing to do is to work from this
morning till tonight, increasingly,
stopping for nothing, laboring as if all
your interests depended upon it-and that
is true in a larger sense than you perhaps
now appreciate.

THE PERNICIoUs CIGARETTE.

A very gifted young man, says San
Francisco contemporary, was the other
day sent from that city to the Insane Asy-
lum because of his addiction to cigarette
smoking. The habit of smoking cigar
cites not only unsettles reason through
affection of the brain. but it so disturbs
the action of the heart as to produce what
is now known as "the cigarette heart"
The stomach is also sadly disturbed by
the habit and more than all else, the
lungs suffer from it. In the case of a
l6-year-old boy who died at Fresno from
cigarette smoking, the lungs were found
to be black as ink and toughened like
leather.
A most singular report is made by
former Superintendent of the Insane
Asylum at Stockton to the effect that the
cigarette habit so Injuries the nervous
system that very often it unsettles the
victims moral nature, and he becomes
unreliable, untruthful, will be given to
stealing, and, in some cases, has even at
tempted murder. Yet before the habit
fastened on these young men, the sub
jects of such observation, they were
gentle, kind, upright and merciful.
A French physician in San Francisco
reports it as his observation that Bright's
disease of the kidneys is superinduced
by cigarette smoking. At st. Mary's
Hospital, San Francisco, the faculty re-
ports that in the case of broken bones in
the bodies of cigarette habitues there is
the greatest difficulty in inducing the
bones to knit together and heal.
The vice is SO rapidly spreading, and
especially among the young, that parents
may well be alarmed. The father who
finds that his son is addicted to the
cigarette should exercise his authority if
he loves the son. 1t were better that the
lad were locked in a cell and by force
kept free from the vice than to sink into
the ills that the habit is certain to bring
on. Some may not experience bad effects
for long time, but all the testimony
goes to prove that in eight cases out of
every ten the i'll effects are early apparent.

What Sacramentans Hear When They
Go From Home.
Lawyer Clinton L. White, who is just
home from Chicago, says he met a former
Sacramentan at the fair, and the first
thing the latter asked was:
''Say, do the people of Sacramento still
drink that dirty slickens water from the
river that they used to twenty years ago,
when l lived there"
In travelling through North Dakota
Mr.. White says, he met on the train a
man who had visited this city several
years ago, and in speaking of the place
the man remarked:
you don't mean to say that your peo-
pie still drink that muddy river water ?"
And so it was, Mr.. White says, where
ever he went-everyone that had ever
been to Sacramento, or whose friends had
visited here, had something to say of the
nasty-looking water the people used for
drinking and other domestic purposes.
If everybody in the city could know
what a black eye our river water has
given US abroad" said Mr.. White, II
don't believe there would be a dozen
votes cast against the pure water enter
prise. Pm astounded to find that any
considerable number of people are
against it."

not the owner of the pumps and wells de-
mand 100000? This, because the con-
tract, if ratified, will read that the price
shall not exceed 100000? That is, can
not he demand the maximum.
Clearly no. 1t needs no great amount
of Intelligence to see that. The specifica-
tions provide if we want to buy the works
that appraisers shall be appointed as are
arbitrators. What they agree upon is
then submitted to the vote of the people.
Is it not clear that the peoples verdict
must govern? If they voted to pay only
100000 that would be the end of it.
Clearly, too, the words provided that in
no event shall the city pay more than
S300,Oo0," simply qualify the maximum
amount that the citizens can vote to pay,
and restrict the owner of the machinery

THE Santa Rosa Republican,, quoting
the RECORD UNION on the case of San
Bernardino County, that holds to the
theory that it is better to levy taxes
annually to do patchwork on roads than to
borrow the sum and make good roads
aud enjoy their benefits, says that So
noma County has the same experience
There, year by year. the tax is piled on,
but there are no satisfactory results
Every year the money is spent, but the
roads are no better than at the start. So
noma is not alone in this; the same policy
is the general one. But it cannot con-
tinue; it will be abandoned because we
are progressive people and an intelli-
gent people. We must in the very nature
of things come around 10 the building Of

sACRAMENTo,s CHAMPION.
Always Alive to the Best Interests of
the City.


From the Evening Bee, August 25th.l
The question of pure water has so en-
crossed the attention of the Bee for the
past few weeks that we had neglected to
make mention of the fact that the
REcoRD-UNIoN has entered upon new
volume. While we usually differ with
our contemporary on almost every
conceivable topic-there would be no JOY
on earth if we did not have a disagree
ment at least once month-we can con-
sclentiously declare that we have always
found it alive to the best interests of the
city, in touch with modern progress and
improvement, and zealously champion
ing every advanced project that would
help the city and the State The people
OF sacramento owe it debt for its valiant
battle for years for better system of
sewerage for Sacramento, which it will
yet win with much credit to ITSELF More
than that, the entire State is indebted to

called-a body which should accomplish
much and lasting good for all California.

THE RECoRD-UNIoN stands to-day just
where it did thirteen years ago on the
water question. 1t then, in 1880, advo-
Gated just as vigorously the deep wells
proposition. The waters on the east are
the same; the position of the press is the
the same; the Water Works are not the
same. Time has been busy with them.
1t is not new thing with the RECORD
UNION to argue for clear water, but the
reasons for it are now just thirteen times
stronger than in 1850. For each year has
made the necessity for a change more en-

Mr.. ERNEST HART, in his paper on
'The Home of Cholera" i" as printed in the
Popular Science Monthly for September,
claims for DR.. Snow. the eminent Eng
lish scientist, the honor of being the first
to discover water to be the great medium
for disseminating the cholera. 1t appears
that Snow and others actually traced the
appearance of cholera in London, in 1866,
to the distribution of water from the
river Lee by the East London Water
Company. The source of the infection
was the sewage of single family resid-
ing forty-eight miles above London on
the river. So that the filth that one fam
lily deposited in the stream preserved its
integrity through forty-eight miles of
river flow, and gave the cholera to East
London. This alone should settle the
tlowing-water purlfcation fallacy.
