the liquor he drank would not prob

not drank any he might have died

Business Prospects in California.

A correspondent of the Troy Times
writes from Santrancisco: "Hhe
general cry throughout our city is
hard times | think it is true that
large percentage of our business
men have no more than paid their
expenses during the year just closed.
Many have run behind and have
been obliged to suspend operations
entirely. One of the principal
causes of the present hard times in
California is stock gambling, which
is extensively carried on in this com
munity. In the month of September
there was q depreciation in two
hours in the valuation of mining
stocks of 20,000,00O! Stock gam
bling here is perfect mania. Men
and women alike rush into it in the
most reckless manner. Many d
poor woman has mortgaged her last
piece of furniture, and even pawned
her wearing apparel, to raise money
to invest in mining stock, and lost it
all in day. l DO not wonder that
there are, comparatively speaking,
but few old people in California.
They live so fast that they die early.
| do not wonder that men here SO
frequently commit suicide. During
the year 1878 in this city these were
ninety seven suicides. Where the
habits and business transactions Of
a community are such that men who
think and really believe they are
worth thousands, are paupers when
they lay their heads upon their pill
lows at night, it is not strange they
should tire Of life, and in tempory
fit of madness put an end to their
earthly existence"

CAPITAL NOTES.

MADISON, FEB. lItb, 1879.
Last week Legislative work fairly
begun, and this week promises to
be a still more active one. The
proposition for biennial sessions
was ordered to third reading in
the Assembly Friday evening with
bnt one dissenting vote,-that of
Mr.. Hutchinson, the representative
from Madison. There seems little
doubt OF its passing the Senate
also; in which event the Legisla-
ture Of 1850 will be called to act
upon the same, and if that action is
favorable the people will have an
opportunity of expressing their
views at he'polls in that year. The
Democrat, | notice, is under the
impression that the proposition will
be submitted to the people alter
passing one Legislature, which is
an error--see section |, art. XII Of
our State Constitution. The TRIB-
UNE has always favored biennial
sessions as one Of the greatest re
forms ever suggested, and with
each passing year and increased
familiarity with state government.
our conviction only grows tirmer in
the same direction,
Notwithstanding that a greater
number have petitjoned for it than
for anything else ever asked Of the
Legislature, the proposition to sub
NIT the question Of prohibition to
the people seems unlikely to pass
| this Legislature. The nominal rea-
sens for this are manifold, but the
only substantial reason is that poll
ticians fear its effect on paltjes.
Republicans, with the disaster of
1873 in view, which may attribute
to the "Graham Law" dread 10
again DO anything that may lose the
German vote, without which theysay
ourparty has little chance Of success.
The force of this all must admit;
but, on the other hand, there is APP
parently equal danger that in retas-
| inc to grant their reasonable re-
quest, the temperance people, who
have always been among orr
staunchest friends, and who vastly
outnumber the German Republi-
cans, may become estrangod, or
even converted into open enemies.
None Of these considerations, how
ever, should influence the vote Of 4
legislator; his duty is to decide for
himself ,he question is p right
.hat the prayer Of these petitioners
shall be heard 50 far rs to give
them an opportunity cf testing the
sentiment IF tile people on this
question 7" We are Of those who
believe it right, and have no fear

THE English papers believe Eng
land can compete with America in
grain raising by reducing the wages
of the agricultural laboror. But, as
an exchange scnsibly remarks, la
borers have no wages to reduce-it
is not much more than a matter Of
keep with them, and mighty poor
keep at that. The English farmer

OF disaster to our party from doing
the right. Indeed, it seems to us
that by submitting this question to
the people, the Legislature makes an
advance toward removing it from
politics, and getting it settled for
many years to come. Whatever
his opinion as to its practicability,
or however he might vote at the
polls on the proposed amendment,
we see no good reason for any ones
Directing to having it submitted.
Senator Campbelfs bill for re-
duction of salaries of State officers
is still in the committees hands. 1t
naturally attracts considerable at
tention about the Capitol, and its
manifest injustice in some particu-
lars, and impertections in others, in
dictate that it must be radically
amended before it can or ought to
pass. Pursuant to a resolution Of
Senator Price, the committee on
State officers are engaged in enqui-
ering as to the number OF employ
ees and salaries paid in the various
departments of State, with a view
TO securing reduction of expenses
if found practicable. The State
officers cheerfully met the commit
tee, knowing that the enquiry will
result i'll showing the present adj
ministration generally more eco
nomical than during the four years
Of Democratic rule, when Taylor
q Go. boosted of saving $500 90 a
day. The subject of curtailing ex-
penses suggests that if the Legisla-
ture would begin by cutting off its
own perquisites and reducing its
own force Of employees it might
with better grace assume to regn-
late every clerkship and the num-
Der of laborers employed about the
Capitol. Some statistical cuss"
has figured ont the total salary of
the average legislator, and thus it
appears:
