railroad and is using it to the best ad-
vantage in making free advertising
The Examiner has been working UP
a general State celebration of the de-
feat of the funding bill for several days
past and we may expect to hear in many
quarters that So and So voiced the
sentiments of the masses and shouted
against the railroad, all the while chant
ing the praises of Mr.. Hearst's newspa-
per that is now out with the wicked cor
poration. The legal holiday is a part of
the trick and we must remain idle a
day while this political poppycock work
goes on.
Governor Budd has done some un-
wise things and has been credited
with some very cominendable acts, but
he will win no public favor by yield
ing to politicians who are making party
and business capital at this time. The
proclaiming of a legal holiday for the
purpose declared is absolute folly and
the Governor Will shortly be glad to
disclain responsibility for his act and
Will repent the weakness that caused
him to yield ITO the pressure in this
foolish affair He should have added
O. Ne'AA " IAle military IOlceS Will tlIe
gaily decorated colonels and majors to
parade on the day for the further edi-
fication of the crowds and the enliven-
ing of the Examiner" circus
The people who want to celebrate
would have had ample opportunity this
day without paralyzing the channels of
trade, and it is very proper if they feel
so disposed to have whoopup, but to
force a legal holiday on the people and
make everybody shut up shop for the
time is a misuse of power. The privi-
lege given to create holidays should be
abolished anyhow

Late Friday afternoon Governor Budd
issued his proclamation for a general
holiday throughout the State on ac-
count of the defeat of the funding bill
The issuance of such a proclamation
even if due notice had been given would
have been a matter of doubtful pro-
prdety The defeat of the funding bill
lis but one step in settling on a vexed
question and it has been said not to
be best to 'tholler until out of the
woods" Little attention was given to
the Governors proclamation. Banks
and business houses were kept open
throughout the State Saturday even
ing public meetings were held in three
or four towns, but there was no gener-
al demonstration. Instead of helping
to convince the world that California is
in earnest in its opposition to funding,
the Governor pursued a course in this
matter that has resulted in giving out
exactly the contrary impression. If
it was wise to have a holiday on account
Of the defeat of the funding bill, the
people should have been given time
properly to arrange for and celebrat te
its occurrence.

Governor Budd out of the goodness
Of his heart, declared Saturday a le-
gal holiday by telegraph, in honor Of
the defeat Of the funding bill AS a
consequence. the laboringman's pay for
the week was less by a sixth and busi-
ness unnecessarily disturbed We Ger
tainly have enough legal holidays as
it is: but even if one does not consider
them ample there is no real enjoyment
possible to the people at large because
of the sudden announcement. The farce
Of such a declaration is apparent. The
defeat of the funding bill means little
or much according to the point Of
view, but certainly nothing definite. 1t
means neither competing line nor
Government ownership. 1t is simply
step in a procession OF events not
yet determined on, and therefore not
movable. The course which the Gov
ernment should pursue in the matter
IS by no means matter of unanimity
Of opinion even in California The
whole action of the Governor seems TO
be a bid for a little cheap popular ap-
plause. The only classes which might
be inclined to revere his eXcellency for
this respite from labor are the school
children who, not having arrived at
years of discretion. are always alive to
the advantages Of mo school,; but un-
fortunately, the day chosen being Sat
urday, even the scholars will not be
benefited 90. We might, pursuing the
same line of thought, have holidays
on the occasion of the adjournment Of
Congress, or, speak it not in gath, of
the State Legislature. There are 9TH
er ways of expressing thankfulness
than by resting, and much harm is
done by establishing a precedent of
this kind

Governor Budd's holiday was not ap-
preciated in this city. 1t came so sud
den, you know, that people generally
did not realize that it had come at all
Those parties, however, who live in the
country several miles, and who came to
town to do legal business, found out to
their dissatisfaction that there was in
deed a holiday; that the funding bill
had been defeated; that the Governor Of
a great State wanted to make a little
political capital, and that they would
have to return home with their errands
We are afraid that
our Governor Jim viii find out that
legal holiday by telegraph is not thor
oughly appreciated in the rural districts.

great shape when he declared Saturday

notice. In Sacramento two court sales
of real estate were postponed and will
nave to be advertised over again at

Building the Biggest Ship.

A force Of workmen is today busily
engaged on what will be the biggest
and longest vessel that was ever con-
structed. Her launching will take
place next January. A year from this
time she will be voyaging between
New York and Liverpool. Contrary
to custom her name has, been selected
in advance, and this queen Of the
ocean will bear on her stern the let
ters that form the word Oceanic. ;"
She will be 705 feet long, 25 feet in
excess of the length Of the Great East.
ern. Her depth will be little more
than so feet, her main draught being
25 feet, and her beam a trife less than
83 feet. In this latter respect only
is she inferior to the Great Eastern.
While the speed power Of Oceanic
will be tremendous, the ship will be
built for the purpose Of affording &C
commodations to passengers superior
to any that now exist. She will carry,
it is expected, a third more passengers,
and correspondingly greater amount
Of freight than the largest steamships
now running in the Transatlantic SER
vice. The largest vessels at present
in service are the Cunarders, Lucania
and Campania, each of which is $40
feet long.-The Pathfinder.

White Elephants.

Every time the circus comes around
and the big bright posters advertise a
genuine white elephant there is more
or less discussion'as to whether there
really is such thing as white ele-
phant in captivity in this country.
Every one knows that white elephants
have long been worshiped in Burmah
and Siam. The people of those
countries believe that when a king
dies his soul goes into the body of a
white elephant, and for this reason
every white elephant tina; is captured
is at once purchased by the king and
kept in the royal court, where it is at
tended by devoted natives and wor-
SHIPPED as a god. The hunter who is
fortunate enough to capture q white
elephant. can get almost any price he
wishes for it, together with many titles
of nobility. In some cases he is paid
as much in silver as he is able to push
with his little finger along the smooth
surface of a table. It is said tina. a

His Better Seven-Eighths.

Many Of my friends have asked me,
and few strangers had the curiosity
to write and inquire, "Why is it that
you always speak of your wife as your
better seven-eighths?" In this brief
article I will endeavor to explain, and
I use the personal pronoun that the
readers of the Herald will the better
understand me. In Christian forti-
Jude she is as fortress capable of
withstanding any fusillade; I but a
rifle pit with many unguarded gaps in
comparison. Her faith is that of a
healthy tree in full foliage and fruit;
mine like tree blasted, with an oc-
casional sprout that lends hope Of
fruition, but so frail that the first cold
wave Of dependency deadens and
withers it. AS neighbor she en-
bodies those qualities expressed in
the words Of the Master: "Do unto
others as you would that they should
do to you;'' an contentto do by him
as we'll as he has done by me, and too
frequently fall short of that standard.
AS nurse she is sister of charity,
reared in the garden of Gethsemane or
in a nunnery Of Nazareth, shedding
sweet sunshine through the sick
room; I both impatient and irasci-
bic. Endowed with almost super
human energy, she is living type of
the busy bee; I, not SO enriched, am
too frequently drone to disappoint-
ment. The day is never so dark but
the bright light beyond beckons her
on as beacon of hope; dependency
darkens my vision and obscures from
view anything favorable the future
might show. Thus in all the nobler
attributes Of life she towers above me
as the forest pine above the stunted
fig bush. During continuous COM
panionship of over twenty-five years I
have been sensible to these superior
qualities, and have been always hon
est enough to say so. She combines
characteristics quintuple in quality,
and in her affections assumes the eplace
OF mother, wife, sister, friend. All in
all she is the apple of my eye, my best
beloved, in whom I am we'll pleased.
Such is my wife as I see her and have
known her all these years. She con-
dones my faults, finds excuses for my
errors, sympathizes with me in sor-
row and strengthens me in adversity.
Hence, [ say "our better seven
eighths;" such she will ever be to me.
