THE VOICE OF THE PRESS
Reflects the Sentiment of the People Re-
gardipg the Extra Ses ion.

Amador Sentinel. The people are recov.
ering from the insane craze OF the last cam
pign, and they disapprove of the extra
session.
Antioch LEDGE 1t looks as though this
extra session business would lead to all
sorts of complications, and be of no bene-
fit whatever except to the Examiner and a
few politicians.
Modesto Herald: OF course the act of
calling an extra session has defeated Hearst
for the present, as no party can stand any
such strain upon its vitality. where par.
ties are so evenly balanced as in California.
Bridgeport Chronicle. Before that august
body has been organized ten days the Gov
ernor will have wished the San Francisco
Examiner to the dogs before he had re-
solved to comply with the insane rawlings
Of that paper for an extra session.
Yreka Journal: The Democratic leaders
so rampant on the anti-monopoly question,
are beginning to fall down" gradually,
and the extra session promises to be a
grand and expensive sham, without any
intention of attempting to remedy the
evils so loudly complained of and harped
upon for over year past.
Stockton Once a Week. But still, these
loud mouthed charlatans may find in the
extra session some peg on which to hang
their declining, wilted hopes, until some
new species of buhoonery and chaIlatarism
may be brought to the front, and by the
aid of which they may again bsmbooz!e
the people and obtain another lease of
political power.
Solano Republican While we, in com.
mon with all others, most sincerely desire
and earnestly hope that the result of the
session may be all that the people desire
and possibly expect, we entertain many
grave doubts as to the fulfllment of their
hopes in that regard, and fear that the
chief outcome of the session will be de-
pietion of the treasury.
Petaluma Argus: Governor Ssoneman
has yielded to the clamor of the least intel.
ligent and respectable portion of his party
for an extra session. The blood of the op.
posing factions is up to boiling heat, and
this seething mass of excited and angry
legislators will be called upon TO consider
MASTERS Of weighty and vital concern to
the whole Commonwealth OF California.
Instead OF healthy and discreet legislation
the session is pretty certain to be given
over to general renovation OF Democratic
dirty linen.
MarysvilIe Appeal: There is plenty of
capital Offering 20 dig the Colusa irrigating
canal, but the owners of the money fear
that when the work is completed the rates
OF water will be fixed SO low by an agrarian
body that their money will pay no interest
and be virtually c0ntiscsted. business and
manufacturing enterprises in California
were fast recovering from the shock given
by the radical provisions of the new Con-
stitution when the extra session was pro.
posed by the extreme radicals. AS re.
suit confidence is again shaken.
San Franciaco Bulletin The Governor
calls Che Legislature together to consider
a special topic or topics Iii incompetent
for that body, while SO called, to consider
any otaer question. This IS something
that an Emperor usually does. IL is the
appeal of an individual in possession of au.
tocratic power to have his views legaliz9d
But it is, at the same time, one of the
novelties Of the new Constitution. Stuff.
cient experience hiss not been accumulated
to determine whether it will work well or
not. All that can be said of it, SO far, is
that it is expensive.
Colusa San Even if some wholesome
law should be passed, i'll going into effect
few months ahead of the regular session
capnot make up for the harm an extra ses-
sion will do. The tax matter can form no
excuse whatever for IN extra session, FOR
the reason that the Legislature can DO no
act to change the statute of the CASES now
bsfore the Courts. In fact, the tax matter
that has now become so very important in
the eyes OF the band Of cranks who have
been clamoring for the extra session as
panacea for all our wrongs, was ignored
during the first demand.
