fire.

The friends of Governor Budd, says the
Sacramento Bee, are seriously alarmed
as to his physical condition. There is no
doubt of the fact that since he has been
in the office he has shown a capacity for
work unequaled by that of any COVER
He has personally attended to little mat
tiers of detail which other governors
leave to their subordinates.
Deliberately, from choice. and actuated
by a desire to master all the details of
the office and to guard the peoples inter-
ests at every turn, Governor Budd has,
contrary to the advice of his physician
and friends, PERSISTED in doing the work
OF three men, wi tn the result of collapse
about week ago.
He is now convalescent, but his friends
say that if he does not ease up on the
strain his constitution will give way.
1t is to be hoped that the counsel of
physician and friends will prevail, and
that the Governor will cut down his
hours of labor and devote some time to
the recuperation or his overworked sys-
tem.-Red Bluff News.
Governor Budd's tirmness IN the cause
! OF fiscal reform is soon to be put to the
| test, for the Legislature is piling up the
appropriations in the good old way
Luckily the Governor of California has
the right to veto not only whole bill of
appropriations, but any item of it, and if
Mr.. Budd means what he says he SAYS he
will freely strip the Legislative tree of its
foliage OF extravaganza. So says the
Oakland Enquirer. We believe the Gov
ernor will keep his promise and cut down
all extravaganza by his veto, and that
veto, II backed by his party adherents,
will stand pat, the Republicans being
powerless to vote it down. -Alameda En-

Governor Budd believes that the Uni
versity of California should be in the
same relation to the business interests of
| the state as is held by all the great Euro
pean universities. All engineering and
| scientific enterprises in Europe receive
| their tests at the universities. and their
tests are conclusive. The appointment bv
the Governor of Professor Soule, head of
| the Engineering College, and Professor
Rising, head of the College of Chemis-
| try of the University, to test the founda-
! tons of the ferry building in San Fran
cisco give true interest to the work of
the University. Modesto Evening News.
1t is reported that Governor Budd is
| forninst the proposition to go behind the
returns by which he was counted in as
Governor. Doubtless he has in mind the
| national precedent by which HAYES was
counted out. But he seems to have for
| gotten the state precedent of 1885, when
| there was a recount in the case of TYLER
VS.. Morris, in some of the Alameda dis
tricts wherein a recount is now demanded

Governor James H. Budd of California
walks in his sleep. He has been a SOM
nambulist since boyhood. Among his
friends the Governor is very free in relat-
ing the deeds he has done in his walks
abroad. His eerie tendency has become
joke to him. but he doesn't take
| chances on doing a somnambulistict turn
! at an inappropriate moment. Salt Lake
| Tribune.
| Governor Budd is fulfilling his prom SEES
| of reform with thorough consistency. 1t
may be little early, but the Tribune sees
! in Governor Budd a formidable Vice
| Presidential candidate for l896.-Madera
| Tribune
The Democratic party could not make a
! better selection. Budd is q winner. Ii
nominated he would carry California and
probably one or two other Pacific Coast
states Riverside Enterprise.
! Governor Budd is now called upon to
restrict the indulgence of the great army
of cigarette smokers. The Senate and
| Assembly have passed Gesford's bill 10
make the sale of the little rve-destroyers
a misdemeanor, and the Governor must
now shoulder the grave responsibility.
