Hurry up the new charter.
San francisco must be a self-governed
city.
Governor Budd must be careful or he
win slip his trolley.
Gubernatorial appointments should be
confined to State offices.
The separation Of city politics from State
politics will be benefit to both.
We may as well drop the weather pre-
dictions and lump the whole thing as a
weather predicament.
The Freeholders have plenty of time to
draw up a good charter, if the right men
work in the right way.
Il Governor Budd expects Us TO digest it |
well he mustn't put too many Police Com
missioners in the soup.
When we promised Mrs. Lease that our
climate would agree with her, we did not
anticipate the cyclone at San Miguel.
TTy;4L 4bo rad and blacE SIGNAL 1ao Alvin O.
from the Weather Bureau, it appears that
just now.
There are many proposed reforms under
consideration at Sacramento, but the re-
form that means retrenchment is the best
of them al.
If Menzies and Gunst cannot arbitrate
the thing on basis of half-and-haf one of
them will have to content himself with
political bier.
The so-called recounts in our election
contests may as well be called first counts,
as the work that preceded them seems to |
have been no count.
As Faure, the new President of France, |
is said to be retiring man." the chances
are he viii break the record of the Office by
serving out his full term.
Up at Sprague, in Washington, Popu- |
list Sheriff leased his Office to the County !
Clerk for $110 a month. Strange to say, |
the people did not like the plan.
It goes without saying that the visiting !
orchardists are OF the opinion that Califor-
MIA should pay special attention to the
cultivation Of the umbrella tree.
It is good race and cheerful one for
the whole State between San Francisco
and Los Angeles to see which viii be first
to get competing road to Fresno.
The talk Of competing railroads should
not cause Us to overlook the value OF in
creasing our waterways by improving the
rivers and constructing the canals.
We hardly expect any legislator to OPP
pose an appropriation for his own locality,
but if any one does he viii have the whole
State for an approving constituency.
Where a corporation contributes money
to campaign fund, it cannot refuse to
state the amount contributed, if interroga-
ted on the point in court So rules Judge
Cole of the District of Columbia
The controversy over the Police Com
mission emphasizes the fact that the ap-
pointing power should be in San Francisco
and not in Sacramento. Where there is
possibility of local evil there should be
81 L..
In our present political troubles the
Marin Journal is of the opinion that San
Francisco has reaped only what she has
sown; but we take consolation in knowing
that we have reaped it and are now about
TO bring it to the thrashing machine.
In the fight against the Reilly funding
bill the emphasis of denunciation should
be put on the word funding" There is no
special objection to Mr.. Reilly or his little
bill, but the whole funding proposition is
offensive to justice and the common-sense
of the people.
The Willows Journal is not sanguine
reformer. It even goes SO far in its pessim-
ism as to object to the employment of a
chaplain for the Assembly as waste of
money, and asks: How much good has
all the praying for the Legislature done in
the last forty-fve years?
1t is just five years since the great snow
blockade in the Sierras interrupted rail
road travel for several weeks, and put the
railroad to an expense of something like
million dollars. The weather is now re-
peating itself, and those who do business
with the East must exercise patience when
the overland mail is delayed.
The Colusa Sun says: with the sacra-
mento River made navigable to Redding
and maintained good all the year, San
Francisco can laugh at railroad commits
sions. Why can't San Francisco see it,"
We have only to reply that San Francisco
does see it, and what is more she sees it
clearly, for she sees in it the sunlight.
Poor Bierstadt has come to grief. He
was an artist of genius. His pictures of
the Rocky Mountains and of the Yosemite
rank high among American landscapes.
