Here's state of things. For two years
the country groaned under Republican
legislation, while Democratic Congress
held sway at Washington, and now, for
TWO years to come, the country will pros
per under Democratic legislation, while q
republican Congress twirls its thumbs at
the Capitol.
THE STRIKE COMMISSION.
Los Angeles Times
The more the report of Mr.. Cleveland's
Strike Commission is examined the more
evident does it become that it is deIiber-
ate bld Tor the support of demagogUes
and their followers by the Administra-
ton. The Rd5tloGy Age, one of the lead
ing trade papers Of the country, in it's
next issue, will show that the report is
1aise and misleading in almost all its
principal statements.

LIQUOR AND The LEGISLATURE.
San Jose Heraldl
While the temperance people of Cali
fornla have been dividing themselves into
political factions and disputing about re-
lglous differences, and thus lost every
point in politics, the dives and the liquor
dealers generally have been quietly and
unitedly working, and have gained every
point at which they aimed. The President
of the California Protective Association
has been III san Jose for the last dav ar
two comforting with the persons elected
10 the Legislature, who were known ali
along to be the tools Of the dives, and
making arrangements for their votes a
they are wanted. He assured his friends
here that the association had secured four-
teen out of the twenty Senators who were
elected this year, and that thew had thir-
teen of the hold-over Senators. making
twenty-seven in all out OF the forty menu
bers OF the Senate. He also stated that
the association had elected 1ortv-aioht
out OF the eighty members of the Assem-
bly,, including the three from Santa Clara
County, and that they had thus a GOOD
working majority in both branches of
the Legislature.
The object OF this extraordinary activity
III politics, he explained, was to secure a
uniform license law tor the whole State
and thus put the liquor traffic wholly he
yond the control OF the local authorities.

favor of stringent restrictions of the
liquor traffic, which in several counties
had gone so far as TO prohibit the traffic
altogether, he said, had thoroughly
alarmed the liquor dealers generally. and
they had determined to secure control of
the Legislature and make a desperate eff
fort to obtain general law on the subject.
THE MOVEMENT TO PENSION TEACHERS
Oakland Times.]
There are appearances that the project
to pension public school teachers, after a
certain term of continuous service will
be pushed IN the next Legislature with
great skill and determination. For ten
years the project has been discussed. and
it has periodically cropped up lust after
each election. It has never made any
Roadway in the Legislature, but it has
been gathering strength and momentutn
outside. With few exceptions the teach
erS of the State are a unit in favor of the
pension scheme; they are organized. and
they are in earnest. They have MANY
arguments on their side, but they have a
strong adverse public sentiment to COM
bat. The teachers say that after giving
twenty or twenty five of the best years OF
their life TO the service of the State in
educating the Young they should be Sc
cured against want and suffering in their
old age. They justly claim that the
teacher has no possibilities beyond his or
