THE era of fat reports of State officials
and State commissions is at an end, let
US hope. A new law requires all reports
to be submitted in writing to the Gov
ernor and by him to the State Board of
Examiners, and only such parts of
the reports as in their judgment are
essential to be printed shall be sent
to the Superintendent of Printing
This will close an enormous leak in the
treasury, if the board performs its duty
fearlessly and impartially. Under the
old system the State Printer had to print
any and all copy any official sent in, and
in manner directed by the official.
The consequence has been that the State
printing department has been greatly
more expensive than it should have been,
while the reports have swollen into por-
tentious books, so elaborate and wordy
that they repel readers. AS result, not
one-third of most of the reports have
been read, even by the legislators whose
duty it is to peruse them and learn the
precise condition of every department of
the Government, and the conditions un-
der which it is administered, its needs,
obstacles or successes.

The Legislature has enacted, and we be-
lieve it has had the approval of the Gov
ernor, that tobacco in no form shall here
after be sold to minors under the age of six
teen. The cigarette evil probably brought
about the enactment. Something was
needed of that order; but we fear that it
will result only in the resort by such
minors to the device of employing 60
betweens, and that boys will be found, as
heretofore, sowing the seeds of irrepara-
BILE physical ills through the agency. OF
the cigarette. If the law had prohibited
giving to such minors any of the forbid
den article, or made it's use by minors
under the specified age an offense, it
would have been much more beneficent.

AsANoTHER indication ofthe putting on
of the brakes in response to the demand
of the people, the Legislature has enacted
that no city or town shall hereafter incur
an Indebtedness for public improvements
in excess of Is per cent. of the assessed
value of the taxable property of the town
or city. In Sacramento this will not be
necessary to be invoked, since no one
will ever propose to incur an indebted-
ness for this city of SO enormous figure
as Is per cent. upon about Sl4,OOO,OOO of
taxable property.

by the Government that amounts to

the seal fisheries. 1t cannot be possible

A wRETCHED PRovERB.

We agree heartily with the New York
Examiner, that millions have been made
miserable and life has been shortened by
belief in and observance OF that wretched
proverb: early to bed and early to rise,
makes a man healthy, wealthy and
wise" 1t is only in recent years that
men have had the courage to take suf-
ficient sleep in defiance of the ancient
saw, which was born of the necessities of
hard-pressed rural communities of the
past, which had to toll from early dawn
to dying twilight to make the two ends
of existence meet. The truth is that a
more vicious maxim posing as one of the
virtues is not quotable. Statistics prove
that the men and women who work late
and arise late enjoy high average OF
'health and life. In this day and age of
push and rush, men and women are dis
posed to rob the hours of night by ad-
hesion to business or toll, and it is, there
fore, all but criminal to insist upon their
rising early, especially in town life,
where, until the sun has driven the
damps of night from the streets, expos
ure to the outer atmosphere by late
hour workers is dangerous.
The rich and the wise people of towns
are late workers and risers, as a rule.
AS to the state of health they enjoy, we
think that they will compare fairly with
those who turn out at daybreak and seek
their couches in the early evening.
Growing youth needs more sleep than
maturity; late hours for it are not bene-
fetal, nor yet are the hours of dawn
Without condoning sluggishness, let the
young have the full measure of sleep that
nature seems to demand in each case.
Our farmer class, which retires early and
rises early, is afflicted as greatly with
physical ills as the town class-even
more so-which stretches evening to the
hour of eleven, and refuses to recognize
morning until the sun has mounted well
into upon the arch of its triumph over
darkness. Franklin, says our contem-
porary, was all wrong, when he at
tempted to set pegs for sleep regulation,
and declared that men need five hours
sleep, women six and children and fools
seven. The truth is, as the New York
journal has well said, he is fool who
takes less than eight hours sleep as a
rule. There are exceptions, of course,
but the great body OF mankind, to be
healthy and wise, whether wealthy or
not, should have at least eight hours
sound sleep in every twenty-four.

In discussing the question of providing
additional room and accommodations at
the County Jail, a Supervisor is reported
to have remarked that ''the Jail is place
intended for corporal punishment, and it
should not be the policy of the commu-
nifty to make it inviting with comforts"
So far as that goes it is well enough said.
The Jail is place of confinement and for
punishment Of offenders by restraint of
liberty, and it should not, by the excel
lence of its table, the comfort of its cells,
or the ease of its surroundings be made
inviting to the vagrant and the vicious
classes. But it so happens that our policy
this same jail the unfortunate insane
shall be confined pending examination
and transfer to asylums; here too, the
man or woman who is stranger and
who cannot give surety for appearance as
a witness in behalf of the people in the
searching out of crime is confined. It was
never intended that these should be
treated as criminals. On the contrary,
all possible humane provision should be
made for the comfort and tender treat
ment Of the insane in the JAIL So, too,
women should be in a separate depart
ment, and for this purpose it has been
suggested that the upper portion of a new
structure should be in part reserved.
Detained witnesses should not be COM
PEELED to herd with the offscourings of the
streets; the opium fiends, vagrants, Chi
nese, thieves, pickpockets, and old con-
victs who drift into the Jail. The new
building need not cost to exceed $1,000,
and it should contain the Receiving Hos
pital, the Dispensary, the rooms for the
guards, the apartments for women, and
the cells for the insane and rooms for de-
tanned witnesses. None of these cells or
rooms need be iron tanks; they can be
made sufficiently secure on a different
plan. By this means there can be such
separation in the Jail as will make pun
ishment of those worthy of it all the Su-
pervisor we quote could possibly wish it
to be, while cruelty will not be inflicted
upon the innocent.

ter. 1t is more probable that what is now
reported is simply new proposition for
arbitration made by the English Govern
ment in response to the December letter
OF our Secretary of State. Nor is it prob
able that this proposition is correctly
