THE financial and business outlook is
more encouraging. The latest bank state
ments indicate returning confidence and
treer circulation. Deposits are returning
to the banks from which recently with
drawn, and loans upon real estate as well
as real estate purchases at honest figures
increase. Investment has again become
a feature. and the promise is that much
manufacturing recently suspended will
be early though gradually resumed.

THAT "oNE THING MORE"

The Sewerage Commission or Commit
tee has filed its preliminary report with
the Trustees. It is published in another
column, and should be read by every cit
izen of Sacramento. We yesterday said
that but one thing remains for Sacra-
mento to do in the matter Of local i'm
provement, and that is to Immediately
rectify the sewer system of the city.
With hard streets, clear, pure water, in
vincible levees completed or assured,
Sacramento only wants a proper sewer
age system to finish up the round of her
needs. Since reading the report of the
committee the RECoRD-UNIoN is more
than ever convinced that the statement
thus formulated is correct and not subject
to amendment.
1t will be observed that the commits
sion at the outset condemns our present
system of drains for three reasons, to wit:
Because there is insufficient fall; because
the system was laid out without con-
templating the growth of the city; be-
cause the pipes are inadequate to the de-
mand made upon them, and necessitate,
in consequence, the intervention of that
worst of all nuisances, the cesspool. The
committee therefore condemns the cess
pool out of hand; they say that these re-
ceptacies for filth must be wholly aban-
doned. and therein they are unassailaole
in their Judgment The cesspooI poisons
the soil and renders it in early time abb
solutely unfit to live over, and a menace
TO the health of even the hardest.
But the commission does not advise
the abandonment of the present drains as
q whole; on the contrary they wish them
retained to carry the drainage. and new
sewers constructed to carry the sewage to
disposal works. First, because Of insult
feiency of fall in the present drains to
carry solid matter; second, because by
keeping the drainage distinct from the
se,vers. the sewers do not need to be so
1arge or expensive, and the cost of chem
ical or any other method Of disposition is
greatly lessened.
The commission here pauses, and does
not say what sewage disposal method it
viii recommend-before it does that ii

TIE commonest demands of fair play
call for every man to have hearing be-
fore he is condemned. Engineer Rem
wick should be accorded the right given
every citizen to prove himself innocent
Of any misstatement concerning the
Water Works. The Board of Trustees
has acted hastily; it cannot afford to re-
fuse a city employe hearing. Fair play
forbids it, as well as the law.

A Story of John Morgan.

garded by the union soldiers as a holy terror, 50
said one Of the famous cavalry leaders men,
and stories had been spread among them re-
citing how he shot down his captives ana gave
mercy to none. On the contrary he was kind
hearted. as those who knew him can attest.
He was fond Of joke, though. On one of our
raids we captured about twenty five union
men near MurfreesbOro Tenn. They expected
nothing else than to shot down after the gen
eral had first eaten good meal They began
to talk about it so eXcitedly that some one
reported the matter to Gen Morgan.
Walking from his tent he ordered the
prisoners to be drawn up in line. Then,
mounting his horse. he rode to the center Of
the small column and said to them that they
must he acquainted with his methods of get
ting rid of the prisoners, and he personally

Not Everybody is a Brewer.

Anybody can make beer" said John
Logan, a shrewd Philadelphia. "All you
have to do is to get barrel and put the stuff
in and let it work" So he got an empty bar
rel and a recipe for making beer. He threw
in whole lot of hops three buckets full of
yeast, I'VE pounds of sugar, half a bushel of
finely ground barley and corn meal Then he
tilled up the barrel with boiling water closed
the bunghOle tight and left the beer to work.
1t worked says the Brewers Review. Logan
and his wife and children were sitting at sup
per cat was purring near the kitchen
stove, a dog was snoring in the corner.
Suddenly the house shook there was
rumbling of thunder, a crashing of glass, the
bowling of a dog and the wailing of a cat; a
rain of some sort, then all was still. The
family rushed to the kitchen. There lay
pieces of slaves and barrel heads scattered
all over the place, from the ceiling and the
walls there was dripping and oozing a Shiny
liquid and the fragments of crockery and
glassware were strewn over the floor Under
the table lay dead dog; the cat had disap-
peared Next door to Logans house was a
china store. The show cases were broken
and the chinaware smashed. The owner of
the store demanded 800 to cover his loss.
TWO days before the experiment Logan re-
fused an offer of 800 for the dog.
