A SIMPLE STATEMENT OF THE
WHOLE QUES CION.

There are still few citizens who seem
to be unable to grasp the water PROPOSE
ton fully. They tell us that before any
vote is had, there should be thorough
tests made of the water from the several
outlying wells, and that the result should
be explained to the people.
That would be well enough if we were
to vote upon a supply from any wells
now in use. Let these mistaken citizens
suppose that there was no driven well on
the east of the city; let them fancy that it
was wholly problematical whether there
is to be had any water of any kind by
boring into the earth. Under such condi-
tions let them suppose the present propo-
sition to be made to the people, i. e., that
Mr.. Fish proposed to sink wells and seek
the truth as to a water supply. Then we
would have precisely the case in hand;
exactly the proposition upon which the
people are to vote on Saturday.
That is to say, we are to vote on this
scheme: ''Mr. Fish, go on and sink wells.
If you find water that withstands the
highest tests we can apply as to purity
and usefulness, and proves itself all that
we ask, then, and not till then, will we
sign an agreement to buy the water at a
spot sum per thousand gallons now
named by US, and under other provisos
as to conducting the water in a great main
through the city, we to retain full and alb
solute control of the water rates, collec-
tions and management, and you, at all
times, and continuously, to furnish water
that will stand the tests referred to, and
that shall be ample in quantity and of a
certain fire pressure.
''Of course, Mr.. Fish, if you fail-if
you do not find water that meets the re-
ouirements-then the loss is yours. and
We pay nothing. But if at any time after
We shall have been satisfied with the
water you now think you can find, your
machinery breaks down, or an earthquake
closes your wells, or fire destroys your
buildings, or the supply fails in quantity,
you may under our supervision draw
water from the present supply while
making repairs, aud furnish it through
the agency Of our pumping machinery.
But the time shall not exceed six months.
and for such water we will pay you only
two-thirds the price first agreed upon.
''After awhile We may wish to buy
your plant, and to that end Board OF
Arbitration shall fix the price, and if the
people, by vote, ratify the award, we will
take your pumps and wells, and the land
on which they may he located, but in no
case will we pay more than S300, 900, and
we specially specify that you do not have.
and we buy, no franchise. Ii we conclude
to not buy, you will simply pack up
your traps and go into some other busi-
ness"
To all this MIR. Fish agrees, such is his
faith in his ability to meet all these ex-
acting requirements. And that is the
sum and substance of the whole matter.
By the vote of Saturday we do not buy.
nor agree to buy. We only advise the
Trustees to bargain with Mr.. Fish on the
basis of the proposition voted upon.
They may refuse to do so even after the
vote. a simpler statement OF the whole
question we cannot formulate.

TRUE to their infamous creed, the an
archists are everywhere attempting to
meddle with the affairs of workingmen
and to incite them to riot and bloodshed.
They tried it in New York the other
night and the police had to interfere. 1t
is a good plan TO treat the anarchist as the
enemy of society and an intolerable nui-
sance. He should be allowed to preach
all he pleases, since that best illustrates
the breadth ofthe liberty. he would sub

AN anonymous circular, said to have
emanated from two irresponsible per-
sons, has been distributed throughout the
city denouncing those who favor the
clear water proposition and quoting an
editorial recently published by the
Stockton Mail. The author of the article
in the Nal was evidently misinformed.
as his figures are all based upon the be-
lief that the city intends to pay Mr.. Fish
$4,000 per year for the use of his pumps
He does not take into consideration the
fact that out of this sum MIR. Fish must
pay all the expenses of furnishing the
water, including superintendence, fuel
and labor. The editor of the Mat NAV
be excused for his statement on the
ground that he did not know any better,
but the parties who circulated the state
ment here must have known that the fig
ures were all wrong because the founda-
ton was false, and therefore there is no
excuse for their malicious publication.

THE victory of the principles Of free
government in the recent French cleo
tions is now reported to be far more
sweeping than was anticipated or first
stated. Indeed, the enemies of free gov
ernment and the Republic of France are
actually in such retreat that the run is
discreditable to the brainy men who
headed the opposition. The Government
Will come to the Chambers with a major
ity of more than seven-tenths; the Social
lists will not number more than beg
carly two dozen, and the Monarchists
not half dozen. Conservative, fair
minded republicanism has achieved such
a triumph as not even the most enthusi-
astic and hopeful friends of the Republic
dared to hope for. The question is now
forever settled as to the possible rising in
favor of aristocratic forms; the Republic
is seated firmly, and the hopes Of its ene-
mics have changed to despair.

HAMBURG, RIVER WATER AND
CHOLERA.

As everybody knows, the commercial
city of Hamburg was last year more
scourged by the terrible pest, cholera,
than any community in Europe. It was
from Hamburg that the plague came
that got a temporary footing in this
country.
Hamburg is situated upon the Elbe,
which enters the sea at less distance
from the city than does the Sacramento
River from Sacramento. Upon one thing
all authorities agree-the cholera came to
the people of Hamburg from the Elbe.

How Others see 1t.

FROM IHe N6MCisIle news.
We believe the level-headed citizens of
Sacramento will vote for clear, pure
water on Saturday next. Sacramento
will never advance until she can otter to
the stranger water that is not befouled
with mud and tainted with the carcasses
of dead animals in the tules and river.
The Sacramento River is nothing more
than drain for great swamp, and its
waters should never be used for drink
ing purposes.

FRANCE has made the necessary apol-
ogy to Italy for the failure of the local
officers to protect the Italians assailed
and killed in the Department of the Gard,
and Italy has in turn expressed herself
satisfied. And so the war cloud blows
over. But the incident serves TO show
upon what slender thread bangs the
peace of Europe.

..GIItteriag ~Catchwards.-

Repre- sentative Rayner IN the de-
bate Friday spoke of the silver plank
of the Democratic platform adopted
at Chicago in the following manner:
II wish to state that, as far as | am
concerned at this critical era in the
history of our country; am not in
the slightest degree DISTURBED or in
undated by the g%littering catch
words of political conventions" The
New York Times with equal vigor is
trying to impress its readers that in
'.in this caitical era" the tariff plank
OF the Chicago platform must merely
be regarded as 1.-The glittering CATCH
words of political conventions
What are We to think of a party that
is thus obliged openly TO rcpudatc its
essential principles as laid down in its
national platform five months after
its return to power?
Having brought disaster upon the
country by the distrust generated by
ITS history and declarations on the
financial and tariff questions, Demo-
cratic leaders are trying to hedge by
openly regulating the constructions
that may be fairly put upon tho plat
form of the party. 1t is, however,
one thing for certain interests to re-
pudate these "glittering catchwords,"
and quite another to convince a ma
jorlty of that party in Congress OF
the %incinccrity of the Chicago de-
clarations.

The exodus of Colorado miners con-
tinues through Kansas, proving a
heavy burden to the farmers and a
source Of great annoyance to the rail-
roads. The crowds arc SO great in
Denver that the first-class passenger
trains frequently back away from the
depot and then run through the sta
tion at full speed to prevent the men
from jumping on. Trains that refuse
TO stop are pelted with rocks and
clubs. In some instances the trains
are accompanied through Kansas by
guards of soldiers to avoid any inter-
ference with regular travel by these
hborers, many of whom have accept
ed work on the Kansas farms.
