s..e Radical Ch..E...

In connection With its advocacy of
an extra session Of the Legislature-in
the interest Of cconomy-ihe Eureka
S~eHtinei suggests another stride in the
same direction by u revision of the
Constitution through which the num-
Der Of State officials might be reduced
to the extent OF efiecting a saving in
the matter Of salaries. Of $4,000. This
it is claimed might be done without
detriment to the State Government, by
squeiching the Office of Lieutenant
Governor; consolidating the Offices OF
Secretary Of State AMI Treasurer; also
those Of Supreme Court Clerk and
Supt. Of Public Instruction. The Of
fee Of Private Secretary to tho Cover
nor. the Sonfiael would also abolish.
That journal. in the PRONUNCIATION OF
it's sweeping reform measures should
not have halted halfway; why could
not the Legislative representation be
reduced n half, just as well AS notr
The saving to the St2.o m the matter
of mileage alone would be an item:
worthy of considerations; in the in
ter-st Of outside individuals and COR
porations. this Latter change would
probably prove beneficial, for III the
engineering of big Jobs" through the
depths anil shoals Of II legislative SEES
sion. onIy half the amount of money
would be required in the purchase Of
pure patriotism.
But in reference to the Lieut.. Cover.
Worship, the S,Rhinei admits that in the
case Of the present incumbent, owing
to the ''unfortunnte mental condition
of the Governor" the office has not.
as il usually is, been n sinecure. "Un.
fortunate mental condition" is very
good. but by far too mildly drawn-for
the Sentinel but as its chief was one
of the principal sufferers through that
unfortunate mental condition. into
which the Governor has fallen, its
foolish attacks upon that sturdy func-
~tionary is surprising to nobody.

meut. happily, no longer exists. The
cheering news il nov brought from the
Bay City hat the Labor Exchanges
have not tho capacity to supply the
great and growing demand for labor in
that State. The contrast between the
present C ndition OF the laboring class
es in California. and that presented a
few short months ago, is n striking one,
and proves that IA favorable season with
abundant harvests is n most important
factor in the labor question. Men with
steady employment by which II good iiv.
ing Is secured usually expose the sunny
side of their nature. whilst nothing is
less conservative and more savage than
these same persons in the shape of n
hungry mob. The agricultural interest
which is to-day chief in California
being an assured success this season
will have the effect Of infusing new
life into every other industry. assuring
Q period Of extraordinary prosperity tu

Env,ronea wa.h Danger.

The dweller or temporary soJourner in a
malarious region of country is environed with
danger, Besides inhaling at every breath an
atmosphere saturated with on infectious poi
son, he also drinks water which is in most in
stances likewise impregnated with the fever
and ague breeding naiasmata. If a bilious
subject, deficient in stamina, or irregular in
habit Of body or digestion, his peril is much
increased, as these abnormal conditions are
extremely favorable to the contraction of ma
laral disease. But the danger may be safely
encountered with the assistance OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
completely nullifes the atmos-
phereic virus, and neutralizes the constituents
of miasma tainted water. This benign anti
dote to disease eradicatcs and prevents fevers
of an intermittent and bilious renlittent type,
besides effecting thorough and permanent
reform of those enfeebled or irregular con-
ditions of the system which invite not only
malaria, but other diseases equally to BE-
dreaded.

Two Noted Grave Robbers.

Our readers will remember the account
given in these columns of the robbing of the
grave of the Hon. Scott Harrison, in Ohio, last
May, the body being found in the dissecting-
Indignation justly brands any man as a scoun-
drel who will rob the grave of the dead. But
there are two noted grave robbers in this
country, SO far from being the subjects of the
peoples wrath, are universally lauded for
their virtues. The reason is plain. While
the former class steal the dead bodies of our
loved CUES to submit them to the dissecting
knife, these only rob the graves to restore the
living victims to our hearts and homes
Their names-Dr. Pierces's Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets
are household words the world over. The
Golden Medical Discovery cures consumption,
and lung affections; Pleasant Purgative Pei
lets are the most valuable laxative and
cathartic.
