The general tenor of the criticism Of
the press Of the State on the Governors
message is highly favorable. Even from
his political opponents no receives credit
for honesty Of intention and considerable
practical sagacity. Those who, on the
strength of the Governor-elect's ride
from San Gabriel TO Cotton station with
Ex-Governor Stanford supposed that the
views Of the nominee Of the San Jose
Convention had undergone change, are
now obliged to revise their opinion.
While tho new Governor insists upon
legislation upon freights and fares, and
dwells upon the necessity of giving eff
cacy to the Railway Commission, there is
nevertheless nothing ianatical or intern
perate about his suggestions. He Is
quite evidently in the mood of insisting
upon justice both for the people and the
railways.

THERE seems little doubt that the
House of Representatives will immedi-
atoly pass the Senate bill which restores
Gen. Fitz-John Porter to the rank in
the regular army which he held when
he was dismissed, after the second
battle of Bull Run, by the unjust verdict
of Court Martial packed to convict.
This will be some little reparation for o
blasted life. II comes so late, and after
the endurance of such untold agony,
that 1t must seem to Porter nero
mockery of justice. 1t is creditable to
such men rs Grant and Terry that, hav-
ing become convinced of the injustice
done to Porter they have used all their
efforts to have PREPARATION made to him.
Aided by few Republican Senator's
like Don Cameron, they have fought the
matter to successful issue, notwith-
standing the malevolcnce of Logan.

The astounding news reaches us that
Simon Cameron and Charles A. Dana, Of
the New York Sun, are about making o
iaunt to the Pacific Coast together,
using their own private Palace cars.
They will arrive in California via the
Southern route. This is certainly q
queer combination. The vitality Of old
Simon is something to wonder at. He
can't well be less that eighty.six or
seven years old, and yet he enters upon
an extended pleasure trip with the zesi
Of young boy. Dana himself Is nc
spring chicken, although easily twenty
years younger than his travelling com
panion. Twenty-Five years ago, at the
outbreak Of the war, the two were to-
gether, Cameron as Secretary and Damn
as Assistant Secretary of War, but their
course since then has been MS widely
separated as the Poles.

JEFFERSON DAVIS is authority for the
statement that the game Of draw poker
was not in existence in 1884. The st.
Louis newspapers have been investigat
ing the matter, and oil the old gamblers
seem to sustain the position OF tho OK
President OF the defunct confedoracy.
The game seems to have been heard Of
first IN 1913. Though so young, II has
grown so rapidly in public favor as to
have had treatise written about it by
United States Minister to the Court OF
st. James, which has been extensively
circulated amongst the royalty and no.
bility Of Europe. Poker has been cor.
daily adopted in the most distinguished
circles, and the bluest OF blue blood
acknowledges Its mysterious charms.

THE wholesale immolation at tie
Newhall hotel, in Milwaukee, the other
day, raises the question. which so often
arises in this country, as to whether per.
sons who erect for profit hotels, theatres
and other public edifces in IL fimsy
manner, should not be held to n rigid
criminal responsibility for the loss of
life which accrues from their cupidity
Here was hotel known to be so
ricketty and infammable that risks
on 1T were repeatedly declined by
insurance companies; and yet, night
after night, for years, the lives of
the travelling public-of people who
cSA1Qpt make minute inquiries as
to tn peculiarities of the building in
which they were to put up, perhaps for
but night-were imperilled. Ever
since this death trap was erected it was
absolutely certain that tragedy such
as has Just occurred was merely
question of time. The fact is that the
men who built this hotel and left it with.
ont facilities for the protection of the
inmates are murderers in the eyes of
God. The crime is OF far more helm.
GUS and cowardly order than ninety.nine
out Of the hundred murders reported in
the police columns of the daily press.
The builders of such hotel as the New.
hall and of such theater as the Brook.
Ign ought to be, if not hung, at least
sent to the Penitentiary. They regulate
these things with soma show of justice
in Europe. When the great disaster at
the Ring theater, in Vienna, was re.
ported in the United States, the horror
oecasioned thereby was somewhat less.
ened by the announcement, which fol-
lowed so quickly, that the architect and
director OF the thester had been fined
and imprisoned FOR q good long period.

rehensible in real estate owner or arch.

London lancet
Scarcely less injurious, in subtle
and generally unrecognized way, than
the habit of taking 'nips" of alcohol
between meals. is the growing practice
of smoking cigarettes ineessantly. We
have not word to say about smoking
at suitable times and in moderation, nor
do our remarks at this moment apply to
the use Of cigars and pipes. 1t is against
the habit of smoking cigarettes in large
quantities, with the belief that these
miniature doses OF nicotine are inuocu.
Gus, we desire to enter protest. The
truth is that. perhaps, owing to the way
the tobacco leaf is shredded, coupled
with tns fact that it is brought into more
direct relation with the mouth and air
passages than when it is smoked in a
pipe or cigar, the effects produced ON
the nervous system by free consump.
ton OF cigarettes are more marked and
characteristic than those recognizable
alter a recourse to other methods OF
smoking. A pulse tracing made after
tho subject has smoked say dozen
cigarettes, will, as u rule, be tlatter and
more indicative OF deprcss on than one
taken after the smoking of cigars. 1t
is no uncommon practice for young
men who smoke cigarettes habitually to
consume from eight to twelve in an
hour, and to keep this up for four or
five hours daily. The total quantity of
tobacco consumed may not seem large,
but beyond question the volume OF
smoke to which the breath organs of
the smoker are exposed, and the char.
acteristics OF that smoke as regards
the proportion Of nicotine introduced
into the system, combine to place the
organism very fully under the influence
of the tobacco. A considerable number
of cases have been brought under our
notice during the last few months, in
which youths and young men who have
not yet completed the full term Of ply
steal development have had their health
seriously impaired by the practice Of
almost necessarily smoking cigarettes.
1t is well that the facts should be
known. as the impression evidently pre-.
walls that any number Of these little
'whifGs" must needs be perfectly innoc.
nous, whereas they often do infinite
harm

The San Francisco Post intimates that
It could suffer in patience General Fitz
John Porter's restoration to his old rank
in the army, but that the present bill
will probably be followed by another
making a pocuniary compensation to
him for the years Of salary out Of which
no was defrauded by partizan malice
during the war. The fact is that tho
United States, having done gross In.
Justice TO General Porter, ought to take
both pride and pleasure in making
that gentleman whole in pocket, as no
has been been made whole in character.
