A Good Governor,

too large contract in assuming to do it.
A Good Governor,
Governor Pattison emerges with great
credit from his first association with the
Legislature. During the long session
which has just ended, he has discharged
the duties of his gubernatorial Office
with zeal, intelligence and good judg-
ment. He has carefully scrutinized the
acts of the Legislature, and has with
held his approval from good number of
them in every instance his veto has
been sustained by the Legislature and
approved by the people. The success with
which the governor has welded the veto
power is remarkable, especially in view
of the fact that he has had no previous
experience with legislative work. At the
commencement cf the session there was
some little jOlting in the communication
between the governor and the Legisla
ture, due to his inexperience in legisla
tive ways; but that has long since dis
appeared, and there will be found no one
to challenge the patent fact that Gov.
Pattison has proved equal to his situa.
tion and that at the close of the ses-
sion lie stands superior in public esteem
to the very unusually able Legislature
with whom he was connected in the
discharge of his duties. Not only did
he find in their work proper subjects for
his veto, but in their adjournment, with
out passing the apportionment bills, he
has been given just occasion to
reprOve them and to recall them
to the discharge of clearly
neglected duty. No doubt Governor
Pattison's judicions action is partly to
be credited to his judiciOus confidential
advisers ; but Il man who knows enough
t" recognize good advice when he gets it
and is wise enough TO act upon it when
he sees it: is just the man who may be
expected to be always equal to the situa
tion in which he finds himself.
METALLIC RED " has been selected by
the postmaster general as the color for
the new two cent postage stamps Tho
vignetto used on the stamp is copied from
the lifo cast for HOullin's statue of Wash
ustOn.
THE supreme court makes the timely
suggestion that if our judges cannot serve
the ends of justice and administer the law
with that unani nifty which is necessary to
a judicial decree they may call in a neigh
boring judge to decide betwee them.
Just SO. And il tho people of the county
cannot find within it a proper person for
judge they may select an outsider. Ha !!
