territory their lines were built to serve.
What they did was by no means all
that could or would have been done,
but for the obstructing demagogism en-
countered at every step in the progress
of their work. In every convention OF

self to uncompromising hostility to the
Central Pacific and Southern Pacific
Railroad Companies has been mooted
and discussed. In every Legislature
which has assembled since the first
shovelful of earth was thrown the rail-
road interests of California have had to
meet and contend with unfriendly legis-
lation. Journals have been founded
and built upon this sentiment of hos
tility. Political fortunes have been
made and the career of some of the
statesmen who have figured in our past
history has been referable to the dem
agogic skill with which they have d.
rected this sentiment in the interest
of their official promotion.
The keen edge of all this opposition
was the charge that the four original
incorporators of the Central Pacific
Railroad Company had amassed great
fortune out of the munificence of the
Government of the United States. The
settlement Of the Central Pacific debt
forever disarms the hypocritical dena-
gogisln. but it remains to be seen
whether or not the vast accumulation
of capital for which the incorporators
of these railroads have become trustees
shall continue to be the victim of I'M
reasoning opposition. 1t remains to be
seen whether encouragement shall take
the place of antagonism; whether the
transportation interest shall be permit
ted to fall into its natural relation as a
servitor of industry and commerce.

A bill has been introduced in the last
days of the Legislature to punish by
fine or Imprisonment, or both, any per-
son who smokes a cigarette in any
building, or on any wharf or other
structure owned or leased by any mu-
nicipality, or by the State. OF course
such bill is not to be thought Of as
passing and becoming law. though it
might well enough be adopted as a
wise regulation regarding the use of
public buildings, which ought to be free
from the cigarette odor that even in the
open is bad enough. If such thing
were possible it would not be a bad
idea to deport the man and exile him
until he reforms who makes a chimney
of his nose and poisons his system with
the cigarette habit But of course
such radical regulative measures are
not to be considered as possible of real
ization in law. There must be limit
to regulating personal affairs and 1t is
a good dead this side of prohibiting
cigarette smoking.

THE ANTI-cARTooN LAW AGAIN.

The editorial in the Record Union"
yesterday morning, pointing out that
the so-called anti-cartoon law just
passed by the Legislature repealed
Sections 248 and 249 of the Penal
Code, so far as the two are in con-
yers and legislators. Some were I'M
der the impression that the position
taken was that the new law repealed
the old libel law entirely. That is not
the case The Record Union said:
1.-THE last law upon the same subject
treated by a prior law repeats the
elder statute, or substitutes itself for
the elder, SO far as the two in any
wise are in conflict We therefore
hold that the anti-cartoon law repeats
only those portions of Sections 24S and
249 relating to libel by caricature or
cartoon. It attaches a new penalty to
libel by cartoon reducing that penalty
from maximum fine of 5000 to
$780, and reducing the term of impris-
onment from one year to six months
The old penalty of 5000 fine and one
year Imprisonment, as a maximum,
stands with reference to printed libel.
1t will be seen that in this way the
anti-cartoon law in effect favors libel
by cartoon by reducing penalties and
gives all journalists hereafter the
strongest incentive to cartoon libel.
Instead of the law being effective
weaponry against cartoons. it is law
favoring libel by cartoon, and If it had
been introduced at the hands of yellow
journalists would have been regarded
as a monstrous proposition. A careful
reading Of Sections 24S and 249 Of the
Penal Code and of the new law con-
vinces us that the penalty provided IN
Section 249 remains only as to printed
libel, while the penalty found in the
new law is the only penalty in law for
libel by cartoon.

Our neighboring State Of Washington
is just now in the ihcipient throes Of
an anti-railroad agitation. The people
Of that State appear to have started
an anti-railroad crusade, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they have two trans
continental lines The intensity of the
conflict between the people of Wash
ington and the railroads which serve
them is analogous to that which has
afflicted the State of California for the
past thirty years. If the result in
Washington is to be analogous to that
that State have entered upon a pro-
ceeding which when witnessed from
that safe distance which enables the
mind to judge with impartiality, will
result in partial paralysis at least
of the growing energies of that State.
Before they proceed further they would
do well to send a commission to the
State Of California to inquire into the
effect which the anti-railroad agita-
ton has had in this State in the way
of retarding the growth Of this COM
monwealth. The truth is accessible to
them. They will find that out of the
anti-railroad agitation has come a crop
of demagogues, dangerous to vested
rights in every field of human activity.
Out of the anti-railroad agitation has
grown a. disposition which has crys-
talliZed into constitutional provisions
and statutes designed to discourage
the development of the country and by
discouraging one great incentive to hui
man activity, the promotion of individ-
ual prosperity and the accumulation OF
wealth. Anti-railroad demagogism has
been a school in which the young men
of this State have been taught that
industry and the thrift which follows
are the natural enemies of mankind.
No greater misfortune can attend
commonwealth than the underlying
conviction that the individual pros
perity of it's citizens, resulting from
their industry and enterprise, is
species of robbery No greater mis-
fortune can attend our neighboring
State than the collateral and attendant
agitations which are sure to follow in
the wake Of the anti-railroad agita-
ton now affecting our neighbors.

the medical profession has little or no
enthusiasm in the treatment of catarrh.
1t is generally pronounced by them to
be incurable. It therefore created a
great sensation in medical circles when
DR.. Hartman announced that he hadSde-

tarrh permanently. The remedy was
named Pe-ru-na, and in short time be-
came known to thousands of catArrh

The above map has been carefully
complied from United States documents
by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, of Columbus, Ohio. The fig
ures were taken from the latest mortal
statistics published by the government
and entirely agree with the archives
kept at the Hartman Sanitarium.
The map is made in four shades. The
lightest shade shows the States which
have the lowest per cent. of deaths due
to catarrhal diseases. In these States
very close to AZ per cent. of all deaths in
1890 were due to catarrhal diseases.
That is to say, over four out of every
ten deaths were from catarrhal affec-
tons.
In the States of next darker shade the
per cent. varies from 40 to 45. In the
next darker shade, 45 to As per cent. of
from catarrhal diseases. In the darkest
shade we have indicated the States in
which over 50 per cent, or one-half or
more, of all the deaths were directly
traceable, to catarrh as the cause.
This is an appalling state of affairs.
This nation has got to confront the
fact that catarrh has become national
curse. Catarrhal diseases threaten the
life Of our people. Over one-half of the
people suffer from some form or degree
of catarrh. Fully thirty-five million
people are personally interested in the
discovery Of a radical catarrh cure.

STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION.
Question Affecting the Right to Keep
Cellar Doors Open.

The chief of police has recently received
number of requests from citizens for per-
mission to leave their cellar doors on the
sidewalks open during the daytime, in or
der to afford air and light to those of their
employees engaged at work inside. 1t was
recommended to the Commissioners by the
chief of police that permission be granted
to those applying. Commissioner Wight re-
ferred the matter to Captain Beach, the
Engineer Commissioner, who has imme-
date charge of the streets, with the sug-
gestion that the police regulations might
be amended so as to grant the authority
desired. 1t is understood, however, that
Captain Beach has called the attention of
his associates to the fact that some time
ago permission was refused for such pur-
pose, on the ground, it is understood, that
the opening of the doors on the streets
would be occupation of public space for
private purposes.
The Commissioners will, however, permit
the replacing of the solid cellar doors by
grated ones, the gratings, of course. to be
OF sufficient strength to bear the weight of
pedestrians. But they will not allow the
cellar doors to be raised or opened in such
manner as to obstruct the free and I'M
restricted use Of the sidewalks and they
have so instructed the chief of police.
