serve speedier determination of cases.
A number of the commissions now To-
Gated in San Francisco ought to be
placed in the Capitol building; indeed
the major part of them. The bill for a
State building in San Francisco ought
to be defeated, not because Sacra-
mento may desire TO remain the capital
of the State, but because it is in the
best Interests of the State to refuse
pc ssage to such a measure. San
Francisco can have very small, if any
selfish interest in the matter. The maxi
ing of that city the practical capital
would have very little if any effect
upon her as commercial center. 1t is
far more TO her interest to conserve the
upbuilding of the interior of the State,
and to resist efforts to reservoir all in
terests in that city.
1t is undesirable always that the po-
litical seat Of government should be in
a commercial center; experience has
proved that to be truth. The last Leg
islature provided sufficiently from the
public treasury for State buildings in
San Francisco. It is rather early, be-
fore foundation stone of the Affiliated
Colleges building is laid, to make an
other call upon the public pocket for
still greater expenditure for the cree
ton Of a branch Capitol

THE REELECTION OF SENATOR
PERKINS.

One week ago last Sunday the Rec
ord Union" predicted the election of
Senator Perkins. It saw then, as has
developed, that no candidate had the
strength to defeat him. What we pre-
dicted has proved true. The Record
Union at no time had any doubt as to
the result. 1t pointed out that the domi-
nant party in the Legislature in honor
could not do otherwise than 1t has done.
Even if it was not logically bound to
do as it has, there has been no candi-
date in the field who at any time has
had any chance whatever against him.
All claims set forth for other candidates
We're preferred solely for the purpose of
producing an appearance, in the possible
hope Of being turned to future account,
and not because those who put them
forth believed them to be true. There
was something akin to the ludicrous in
the attempt to work UP sensationalism
in the Senatorial campaign against Mr..
Perkins There were some coarse and
attempted sensational circulars gotten
out at late hour, good deal Of
fourishing in newspaper head lines, but
really there was no undercurrent of OPP
position TO Senator Perkins to main
tain the pretension Of sensatonaIism or
to have defeated him at any In the
canvass

An Old Settler.

When the rheumatism first preempts
certain tracts of your anatomy it may be
ousted easily, but when 1t becomes an old
settler 1t is pretty hard to bulge. Re-
member this when you experience the first
twinges of this obstinate and agonizing dis
ease and attack it with Hostetter's

on account of its tendency to attack the
heart. Usually it is complicated with kid

when aroused by the bitters, will eliminate
impurities which give rise to rheumatism
and dropsy. In inclement or wet condi-
tons of the weather, the bitters, taken in
advance, will often avert rheumatic trou-

dyspepsia, bilousness, headache and con-

A BRANCH CAPITOL.

The old proposition is before the Leg
aslature again to erect a State building
In San Francisco for the accommoda-
ton Of all State offices that the Legis-
lature may see fit to order there, to
use the words Of the bill Three hun
dred thousand dollars are asked for to
purchase a site and begin work. Of
course that means that the sum would
be but a drop in the bucket.
This is really an effort TO move the
capital in sections to the metropolis,
and as surely as the bill becomes law,
Just so surely will a process of removal
go on until the capital in name only re-
mains here. 1t makes no sort Of differ
erlce whatever what the effect might be
upon Sacramento; such matters have a
great deal broader significance and i'm
rortance than mere local bounds de-
tern1ine. What the States best inter
est is must be first considered, and We
aver with perfect confidence that
scarcely anything worse for the State
relating to her political and official
seat could happen than its transfer to a
great city like San Francisco. Neither
State economy nor State convenience
would be conserved by such an act
The right thing to do, however, is to
place a larger part Of the State offices
now In San Francisco In the State
Capitol building at the capital as con-
stitutionally located. The State has
here ample grounds for whatever en-
largement is necessary TO accommodate
it's business offices. Happily the Cap
itol building Is Of an architectural type
permitting of extension of its wings
eastward at comparatively small cost,
and so as to accommodate all possible
State Offices
Not long ago a gentleman qualified
by knowledge of the subject for his
own satisfaction made drawings of
such extensions and the appearance Of
the elevations. The result was en-
tirely satisfactory to good taste and the
estimates of cost were equally satisfac-
terry economically viewed. If the State
needs more room, and 1t probably does,
the place to make 1t is upon its own
grounds at the site Of the Capitol. and
that this may be done. at infinitely less
cost than elsew here since no site would
have to be purchased, nor new exterior
in whole be erected, goes without say
ing.
The Supreme Court ought to be To-
Gated in the Capitol building on the
score of economy, on the score or con-
yepience, and because 1t would result

THE ROCK-CRUsHING BILL.

Senator Doty has introduced a bill to
provide for the promotion of the rock
crushing at Folsom Prison, and to main
tain the road metal plant without cost to
the State. That is right, but it is sub
mitted that the proposition in the bill
to make the minimum of the metal %
cents is not the right thing.
After providing for the addition of 10
per cent to the actual cost of produc-
ton to return to the State its advanced
capital as is already required by law.
would it not be wiser to let the metal be
sold at as low figure as it can be pro-
duced for after cost and 10 per cent.
added? The money paid in for the road
metal comes out of those who build good
roads and streets. 1t Is a special tax,
so to speak, and not one that falls upon
of the prisons is general, and falls upon
all taxable property.
If the prison labor can make the 10
per cent and restore the advanced
money, as it is doing, It will not be long
before the advanced sum will be paid up
and the 10 per cent. will inure to the
benefit of the prison, and it is submitted
that that will be enough of profit to it.
Suppose it is found that the metal may
presently be turned out at 20 cents. after
the 10 per cent. is added is it not wise
to permit the people to have the material
at that figure, in order to encourage
good road building and reduce the cost
to as low a figure as is possible?
The only desire in all this matter
should be to conserve good road build
ing, and at the same time put no extra
cost upon the State for maintenance
of the State prisoners We look at the
matter from a standpoint that keeps the
greatest mileage and the most rapid
good road building in constant sight
since that industry so largely benefits
all others, and so much conserves the
interest of all the people.
OF course, if 1t is found that the State
is put to any cost in production Of the
road metal that is not fully met by the
income. then the measure should be so
adjusted that income will be adequate
But We do not apprehend that 1t Is the

THE JOHNSON-MAGUIRE PASSAGE.

According to telegraphic reports
there has been a sensational passage at
arms on the floor Of the House
between congressman Johnson and
Ma guire. The accounts lead us to be-
lieve that there was a short, sharp and
acrimonious clashing at the time re-
ferred to- Mr.. Johnson was made
the subject of bitter per-
sonal attack by Mr.. Mcguire. in
which he took occasion to refer to
the events in the latter's life, concern
ing which no secret has been made by
hIr. Johnson. This was in response to
the caustic and ripping assault by Mr..
Johnson upon Mr. Hearst, proprietor
of the San Francisco Examiner and
the New York Journal, both of which
have long made Mr. Johnson the target
Of harshest criticism and assault and
of attack in the way of gross cartoons.
To this attack made by Mr.. Mcguire in
speech printed in the Congressional
Record" but which was not delivered,
Mr.. Johnson yesterday replied with
acerbity No one at all famil
lar with the facts, and who
is unbiased, viii hesitate to
say that Mr.. Johnson's speech fully
justified his course in the House. His
attack upon Hearst was, of course, ir-
relevant; it was PERSONAL; it was in
judicious, but it was not without sufti-
Gent provocation. Mr.. Hearst is the
proprietor of two sensational papers
with which he has the capacity to ter
rfy tinid people. But clearly he did
not terrify Mr.. Johnson, and under the
circumstances his constituency ap-
proves of his striking back. Had he
he might have been open to the charge
of cowardice. The Examiner has
raked up matters concerning Mr.
Johnson as a youth that have
been used against him in five
POLITICAL campaigns, three for legisla-
tive and two for Congressional posi-
tions. II these campaigns these mat
ters rejecting upon incidents of Mr..
Johnson's youth were thoroughly raked
over and ventilated; they were we'll
known to Mr.. Johnson's constituency
when it elected him to the Senate and
Assembly of this State, and when the
Second District elected him to Congress
by four thousand majority. The Rec
ord UrNon" does not approve of per-
sonality or assault upon private char
acter, either in the press or upon the
floor of Congress. They cut no figure
in the settlement of state questions,
and form no part Of any issue in de-
bate of economic questions. It cannot,
therefore, commend Mr.. Johnson's at
tack upon Mr.. Hearst's private charac-
Ter, but it cannot close it's eyes to the
patent fact, which every fair man must
see, that in Mr.. Johnson's provocation
there was perfect justification for the
&C rse he pursued.

The recent election in France for
Senators. resulted in a clean sweep for
the Republicans the Radicals and Con-
servatives being downed completely,
and losing seats in large number. The
meaning of this is-for the election was
one of the most hotly contested in
French history-that the disturbing ele-
ments have received a distinct rebuke;
the President and his Cabinet are in
dorsed the republican system is
strengthened and a democratic form of
Government has gained in vigor, and
made a nearer approach to what it
should be, though still far distant from
ultimate completeness Another effect
Will be to give to the Republican party
in France a great deal of courage that
it did not have before. 1t will not now
in or out of the Senate or the Deputies.
For unhappily for that country, the bit
terest opponents of self government,
are within the halls of legislation. The
SCcddIlSlS ana extremists, the bOuI-
bons and Royalists, must take the re-
suit of the election to indicate the be-
ginning of the end of their career as
political factors to be feared. There
will not now be any revision of the Con-
stitution, at least for several years it
will be impossible, that will endanger
the Rapuhlif and this gives assurance
Of stability to THE Government.

desire of the people that those who buy
road metal produced at the prison
should be taxed specially in any way
for support of the prison beyond what
the 10 per cent. added will yield.
So long as there is no provision for
other employment of the prisoners at
Folsom, why not employ them in good
road making, which is for the benefit of
all and adds to assessable values and en-
hances all productive interests? For
when convict makes good road metal
he really works upon the roads and
serves the public, and to that extent is
self-supporting.
In all this matter we have no other
motive than the furtherance of the good
road movement. for which this paper
has been so long an advocate. 1t is a
simple business question to be deter
mined by business wisdom, and involves
nothing by any means intricate. We

treated in the Legislature and by the

Twenty-Five thousand dollars allowed

Railroad Commission is a plump sum
when we have capable Attorney Gen
eral, once a distinguished member Of
the Supreme Bench, and aided by large
number Of competent deputies-a force
quite equal to standing by the State in
any legal contention. Then, too it is
just a bit odd that portion Of the $50, 900
should go to an attorney who, while
acting as such counsel, was under regu
lar employment by the State as Code
Commissioner and was supposed to be
giving his time diligently to revision

highly offensive to criticise others, as

The box office of the Metropolitan
Theater opens this morning for reser-
walton of seats for the season of HUI
manity' and The New South by the
Grismer-Davies company. Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of this week. The
play is one of W. A Brady's most
successful attractions and will be put
on with a splendidly equipped company,
the latest stage effects and the highest
spectacular results of recent scenic art.
With true love that runs roughly for
its theme, and war, murder, bomb ex-
plosions, broadsword combat for hunt
ing with English thoroughbreds and
trained hounds, and similar realistic
features to enliven a sensational plot,
Humanity is one of the strongest
melodramas ON the American stage.
There is no waiting for the last act for
some one realistic feature, we are told,
but the excitement begins at once and
holds the attention of the audience all
the way through. In one scene a score
of trained English hunters, mounted by
the orthodox Sportsnen in red coats
ard with ladies in gay attire, come on
tc the deep baying Of the pack of
hounds, and is an effect alone strong
enough to carry AN ordinary play; but
1t is supplemented by the still other
powerful situation, the broadsword
combat between the hero and the Dutch
Boer leader, who Unexpectedly meet on
horseback during the battle, and later
by the dynamite explosion that wrecks
an entire building.
