proportionately high to the service rem
dered. To say that such ability and de-
votion as this commonwealth needs in
the Office of Attorney-General is TO be
justly secured for salary that is less
than the income of a country lawyer is
absurd. We have had many able men
in the office at the present salary, but
that they were properly rewarded or
justly, is not true. That some county
officials should receive larger salaries
than some State officers whose duties
are greater and whose responsibilities
are graver and weightier, is ridiculously
unjust. That the heads of some commits
sions who do not have enough to do to
withdraw them from their business cali
ings should receive larger salaries than
the law allows to the Secretary Of state,
the Attorney-Genera or the State Con-
troller, is an injustice Of which Califor-
MIA should be ashamed. Now a horizon
tai reduction will not remove these in
equalities. 1t will still leave some too
high and some relatively too low. That
simple fact should work defeat of the
bill, or such modification of it as Will
wholly change its character and scope.
AS a rule elective State officials are not
too highly salaried. We think that IS
a safe business proposition that even the
most rigid economists will be driven to
confess. when they apply themselves to
examination of the pay roll.

to set the most that can be possibly
wrurg from the treasury for expendi-
ture in a particular locality, regardless
of State policy or economy. The ques-
ton of the cost and wisdom of the prop
| osition cuts the smallest figure in the
estimation of those who thus plan to
loot the common strong box. The re-
suit is just what might be expected.
The State is in constant danger of be-
ing milked to prosper special localities
without adequate return This is fol-
lowed by that other and equally repre-
hensible sentiment, which crystalliZes
into and becomes an open and an
nounced doctrine, namely, that the
members of the Legislature hailing
| from a county or district in which is
| located a State institution, are to be
looked to as the specially appointed ana
| responsible agents of defense of that
| institution, and likewise its aiders and
abettors, if not indeed, its principal
| agents fer raking the treasury for all
that can be possibly wrung from it.
In this game of grab, this scramble
| for shares, the State has been disgraced
SO frequently and shamefully, that
really we have become quite Injured TO
| it, and now look upon it much as a
matter Of course. 1t is only within
the week that men, who should have
| blushed to have thought as much, open
| ly and brazenly asked why Sacramen-
| tans should object to the treasury be-
| ing looted by horde of useless legis-
lative employees, since most Of the
money raked down would be spent here.
Indeed, the infamous thought and sug
gestion was pushed so far as to be ac-
companied by threat that it would
| be for the best interests of Sacramento
that it's people refrain from criticism
| of legislative activities. That legisla-
tors were not guilty Of such utterance
| it is a pleasure to state
The bane of this State is localism;
| it is the crying evil of legislation and
| of politics within the State. We are
ashamed before the people of the Ma
ton by a jealousy that prevents US
| from agreeing upon favorite sons for
national preferment We are humili-
ated before the world because, save in
boaSting Of natural advantages, we are
agreed upon little else, except that we
are engaged in throttling one another.
Conceptions of California as a State in
an economic and social sense would
seem not have broadened with our
growth, much beyond county and dis
trict limitations. We are unhappily
gluing our eyes to the ground and re-
fusing to lift them to the expanse Of
the State horizon.
Just as all this is undeniable; is fact
not to be controverted, so it suggests its
own correctives. These must have their
genesis in the representative body Of
the people chosen to fashion the laws
and define the policy of the State. They
must begin at the same time in the
commercial and industrial organiza-
tions, and in PRONUNCIATION of the doc
trine of common interests in a common
State, common pride in a common social
interest; common economies and priv

LEGAL HOLIDAYS.

Governor Budd has been criticised for
celebration of the defeat of the fund
ing bill 1t is charged by the Gov
ernor's critics that the funding bill is
in a sense a partisan measure. The peo-
pie of California are not unanimously
opposed to it. and that it was not re-
spectful to have a day of thanksgiving
appointed by the Governor that one
portion of the community might tri-
Governor Budd might just as well have
proclaimed a public holiday over the
election of Mckinley. These points
may be well taken, but we are disposed
TO approve the action Of the Governor.
1t will be a precedent for proclaiming a
holiday whenever any view of the Gov
ernor may triumph in Congress or the
Legislature at home or abroad. For ex-
ample, if the Governor of this State
shall be opposed to the independence of
Cuba and the Cuban revolt shall be put
down, then the Governor may proclaim
legal holiday to celebrate the triumph
of a cause which he believes to be just;
or the reverse of this, if the Governor
believes that Cuba should acquire au-
tonomy or that the Government of the
United States should recognize the in
dependence of Cuba, then the Governor
will be at liberty to proclaim a day of
thanksgiving.
AS a people, we do not have holidays
enough. This has been the universal
complaint; that our lives have grown
sornber, care-worn and monotonous
The Governor has established a prece-
dent whereby we are likely to have an
abundance of holidays and for this
there Is an abundant cause of rejoic-
ing. His excellency should be petitioned
now to proclaim a legal holiday because
the precedent has been established
which will hereafter make holidays
more frequent, American life less SOM
Der and the opportunities for enjoyment
better.
The stockholders of the Central and
Union Pacific Railroads viii thank
Governor Budd for the very jubilant
feeling which has led him to proclaim
this holiday The quotation of the
stocks of both roads has advanced
steadily since the defeat OF the funding
bill, and the stockholders certainly have
pecuniary reasons for rejoicing, what
ever reason other people may have.
Whatever the outcome of this ad-
the Government is to be has not yet
been disclosed, but II it shall hereafter
prove that the defeat of the funding
bill was a grand thing for the stock
holders and the roads. they certainly
viii have no ground for fault finding
that the Governor recognized in ad-
vance the good fortune which has come
To them.
From every point of view, therefore,
we are disposed to commend the Gov
ernor for the precedent he has estab-
iished and we are particularly disposed
to condemn the people of California for
giving the matter no attention The
holiday proclaimed by the Governor
was received with Indifference, and the
great mass of the people of California
went their way oblivious to the fact
that his excellency had given them per-
mission to cease from their toll. This
is wrong When the Governor pro-
claims a holiday the people should take
advantage of the opportunity offered.
AS we have already said, holidays are
too infrequent.

There is authoritative announcement
that Senator Sherman of Ohio will be
the new Secretary of State. From him
comes also the assurance that there will
be an extra session of Congress, and this
is followed by his declaration that the
policy of the State Department will be
on the Cuban question mon -interfer-
ence." Senator Sherman says we do not
want to possess Cuba, but We do wish
to buy of her all products we need to
import from that quarter, and that we
wish to sell her all we can of our pro-
ducts, and of the output of our indus
tries. He unquestionably reflects pub
lie sentiment when he declares that Gu
ban annexation is not desirable There
is no strong and just now no noticeable
demand for the acquisition of Cuba, nor
do we think there will be. The better
judgment of the people of the country
is that both Cuba and the United States
will be better off as separate indepen-
denotes. When the prospective Secretary
says that American policy should be
that of non-interference in the affairs of
Cuba, it does not follow that the in
coming administration will not be in
sympathy with the efforts of the Gu
bans to achieve their independence nor
that the United States will be passive
in the matter of the war now raging in
the island. Non-interference in the
lily imply that our Government
will not do much to bring about
peace in the distracted country
nor that it will not use it's good offices
to secure to Cuba the reforms demanded
nor yet that it will not interest itself
so far as it may within treaty obliga-
tions, to secure to the Cubans the right
of self government and ultimate indie
pendence. We apprehend that Mr. Nc
Kinley will, to the fullof his ability, fol-
low the pledge given in the National Re-
publican platform to which he subscrib-
ed, namely, 'The Government of the Unit
ed States should actively use it's infiu-
ence and good offices to restore peace
and give independence to the island"

If q paper north of the Ohio had ven-
tured TO say that in the fair South
land bloody and high-handed criminals
escape justice with case, it would have
brought down upon il the anathema of
all society below the division line that
determines the South as a geographical
section. Yet here comes the Atlanta
Constitution" and bluntly says of its
own that there is a crying evil in the
South, in that bloody handed and
bloody minded criminals manage to
easily evade justice; so much so that
the system" is beginning to under
mine the whole superstructure of judi
clal administration. Indeed, this bold
leader of Southern sentiment declares,
SO notorious and dernoralizing is the
fact, that it has taken shape in the
form of a threat against the safety and
security of society. In this strain the
Constitution" continues lugubriously.
We fancy that its complaint is some
what overcolored, but that there at
taches to it a good deal of shameful
truth is undeniable. 1t is indicative,
however, of capacity to correct the evil
that such journals as the "Constitu
tom have the courage to face it, and
demand that correctives be applied, SO
that through plausible technicality,
long delay, bold front, and defiance of
government, assassins and murderers
