Police Methods.

Yesterday afternoon we referred
to the tactics of police spies in fer.
reting out cases for crimiral prose
cution, and enumerated three in-
stances that showed o violation OF
the fundamental principles OF law
and order The case OF A f Franco,
Portuguese owning q saloon on
Beretania street, was not mentioned.
On Saturday before Frsnsa's arrest
three men entered bis saloon and
began to drink After time one OF
them asked II they might not come
back the next day Sunday and
was told that the saloon would bs
closed. They insisted, and, the pro-
prietor told them that he would not
even be in the city, as he spent his
Sundays at his country place, three
or more miles out. They then asked
if they might go out to Franca's
house and have drink, to which
the proprietor replied In the effirm-
ative. add ing that be usuelly kept
something for hia own use, TO which
they we're welcome.

the general good OF the Democratic

And while on Hawaii, he wrote and
got another $50 OF the Genital Com

Sunday

The Democrats bought q gold
brick in the National committeeman
proposition ths other night, when
Senator Palmer Woods was recon-
mended for the place, and behind it
ell is an interesting tale. 1t is re-
Lated that prior to and during The
day Woods passed around the word
that he was opposed to an instruct
ed delegation and urged the Hawaii
delegation to oppose the measure.
Hearing OF the fact, Kidd approach
ed the Hawaii leader and told him
that HE would give him the Office
OF National committeeman if be
(Woods) accepted instruction.
Woods consented and subsequently,
delivered the goods. AS part Of
the contract, Kidd, iu the evening,
duly nominated Woods and all Of
the Democrats belonging to that
faction promptly bit.

On Sunday the three men took a
hack which could not have cost them
less than $3 (three dollars when they
could have had a drink anywhere in
Punchbowl town for ten cents y and
drove out there. The drinks as
promised we're forthcoming. A reg
ulsr police officer arrived on the
scene at this juncture and arrested
Franco. One OF the men declared
that he had paid fifty cents and an
other that ne had paid a dollar.

ing that he never received one cent,

but merely treated his visitors, as he
had promised them.

But that is not the point. The
proposition is that paid emissary
of the police department visited
Franca's saloon on Saturday aud
deliberately tried to make him break
the law by coming into town and
selling liquor to the party OF three
on Sunday. Failing iu that, he fol-
lowed him 10 his place in the coun-

The above goes to sub,tantiate
what we have already said hereto
fore that he used the Central Com
mittee for furthering his cause, and
at the same time we must admit
that he did good work towards
the organization OF precinct
clubs in Home Rule places
Not having yet shown his ing
enuity to raise funds to meet the
expenses incurred by him and for
his own personal preference, is it
then to be believed that he could 90
so in the future without depending
upon the well-off ones OF the party ?
We very much doubt whether he
could succeed without their aid.
Let's zee whether he will be able 10
raise the necessary funds towards
defrsying the expenses of the com.
ing fall campaign. II leading and
affluent Democrats are willing to
accept him as their possible leader,
we'll and good, then we are badly
mistaken in them; and then they
may accept being abused into sub

II seems to us rather poor ecbeme
to pay FIVE per cent bonds when
the Government is unable To pay its
employees The bonds are held by
local parties who do not need and
do not want the money. II the bonds
we're held abroad it would be i'm.
portant to pay then in the interest
OF reputation for promptness; but
such is not the case. Bonds held
locally can wait great deal better
than can Government employees.

The situation, as q result OF this
trickery, is that the Democrats are

In the second place, he lives on q

The Water Proposition.

Next Tuesday is the day set for
voting on the question of bonding
Meeker for the purpose of building
gravity water system.
There is much to be said in favor
of the project and nothing, that we
know of, against it aside from the
question of cost. AS THE HERALD
has previously observed, s6O,OOO is
more than the properly OF
the town are willing to burden them
selves with. In the opinion of many,
a good and sufficient system can be
had for IL much lesser sum, and with
this shade of opinion THE HERALD
quite agrees.
We believe that an agreement rs
to the amount of indebtedness to be
incurred can be reached at Monday
nights meeting, and that the town
c ,uncil will act in accordance with
the EXPRESSED wishes of the majority
of property
Let every property-owner turn out
Monday night and give and receive
enlightenment on this, the most vital
question up to date, on which the
people of Mceker have been called
upon to render II verdict.

An Appalling Railroad Disaster

The Missouri Pacific Worlds Fair
Flyer, went down into a raging tor
rent in Dry creek, Il tributary of
Fountain creek, near Eden mot far
from Pueblo last Sunday evening,
and 50 men, women and children,
mostly residents of Denver and
Pueblo, are known to be dead.
Thirty-five people are missing,
some of whom will never be found MS
their bodies are evidently buried In
the sands of the creeks.
A sudden rise in the usually dry
creek, caused by heavy rains in the
vicinity, weakened the frail wooden
structure spanning the creek-caus-
ing one of the most terrible railway
disasters in the history of Colorado.

G. n. Miller, Grand Recorder of the

fraternal benefit societies; and as 1T
was the first of its class, it was also
the first to take up and adjust frater-
nal insurance and place it on II foot
ing of permanency and absolute
safety. The society is rapidly increas-
ing in membership and is as solid as
the rock of Gibralter.

Some Sensible Suggestions.

To the Editor of THE HERALD:
While it is evident that Meeker is
in need of system of water works,
il is likewise evident that 100000 is
altogether too much to put into q
plant at the present time. The ordi-
connection with the system, which,
in my opinion, is IL grave mistake as
well as unnecessary expense. The
reservoir should be at the intake at
the river, where the water coald be
properly and easily filtered before it
enters the main pipe. The scheme
of going up the river six and a half
miles is also unnecessary ut present.
A pipe running up through the bot
tom to IL point just above the TT
bridge, above the mouth of Coal creek,
(Where there is n small side stream
and better location could not be
found), n distance of about three and
quarter miles from town, would
carry water over our school house
At SOME future time, when the ne
cessities require, this pipe line could
be extended up the river so that force
enough could be obtained to throw
water cover the cedars" to the north
of town. The cost of eXcavating for
the pipe in the bottom would be the
same as on the mesa, some opinions
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Such IL system as above outlined
would bring the cost at about one-hali
of the system proposed by ordinance,
thus making it half the burden for
our Taxpayers, and which will meet
our wants for many years to come.
Then, again, a high bonded indebt-
edness will scare away some desira-
BILE investments which we would like
to get.
III, under the ordinance, 10000
could be invested in water system
as above outlined, l would say vote
for it. If the proposition is literally
what the ordinance reads, 1 would
say vote it down, and then petition
for vote on the $3O,OOO basis. We
want water works, but at the same
time we must watch out that our
necks do not get into a halter.

seeker and others in search ofaproii-

the Frisco system quite recently
opened to those interested in per-
sonal betterment of financial re-
sources.
On June LIST, the line of railroad
heretofore known as the st. Louis,
Memphis & Southeastern now Frisco
SYSTEM, was extended to st. Louis
thus making Il territory in Missouri
and Arkansas, along the west bank
of the Mississippi river, accessible by
way of st. Louis.
The present service consists of pas

mediate points to Memphis, also the
Cape Girardeau accommodation
daily, leaving Union station at 4 30

Some years since, perhaps quar-
ter of a century, this section was
avoided by reason of want of devel-
opment or progressiyeness; now,
however, it is considered equal, as
the homeseeker or investor may
measure, to Oklahoma, Indian Terri

by large governmental expenditure,

railroad facilities promoted and
maintained by the Frisco system, OPP
