its third reading and final passage were
the first business of the Assembly at its
morning session.
The bill as originally introduced pro-
Yided 100000 for the immediate needs of
the office, and in such terms it passed
without a dissenting voice to its second
reading. Yesterday it came back from
the printing office for further action, but
the tip had come into the chamber that
Governor Gage would attach his veto to
II unless the appropriation was cut in
mali, and the little joker in the shape of
proFlSO that in cases of emergency
work might be done by private offices out
SIDE the states shop cut out of il en-
urely. Mr.. Johnson took the hint. and
when 1t came up after the reading of the
journal yesterday morning he asked that
whole Tor she purpose of amending il
along the lines laid down. The commit
tee OF the whole reported the amendment
favorably to the Assembly and the hin
passed to its third reading which was
made special order for this morning af-
ter the reading of the journal. This morn
ing II was taken up and passed and the
minority declared its position on printing
office matters by casting not one vote
against it.
The $4,000 rendered by Mr.. Johnson. on
behalf of the Assembly, is only the first
of other appropria lions that are to come.
Since the office was peremptorily closed
work has accumulated, and il is forecast
ed by the wise ones that the session of
this year will be dragged out to ninety
days because of it. The work to be done
on the report of the Code Commission
alone will require not day short of

MENTO, Jan. about the only work ac-
complished by the Senate was the revis-
ion of the number of standing committees
and putting through the mileage claims
of the officers and members.
The standing committees were reduced
from twenty-nine to twenty-siX in order
to give each Republican member a chair
manship, which reduction was accepted
without detriment to the work Of the Sem
ate. The Claims Committee was consol-
idated with the finance, and the Commit
tee on Constitutional Amendments with
the Judiciary, while the Committee on
County Boundaries was abolished. Be-
yond shortening the names of some of
the others they were allowed to stand as
they were in the last session.

There is something in bearing an hon
ored name, and General Grant, the
great soldier, the head of the nation,
had been regarded as a failure until he
had passed the age at which most men
were well on the way to such success
as life afforded. This candidate is
quiet, unobstrusive man, making no
boasts and thus coming into violent
contrast with the citizen Of Yolo, the
eX-Secretary of State, the miner of
Candelaria. The contrast is working
him no injury.
There are many of the people here
who have no excuse which they are
willing to reveal They are either after
jobs or they hope to boost the aspira-
tons of somebody who is. and come in

who apparently thinks he is strong
enough to uphold Burns and remain
unspotted. While this is impossible.
the uselessness of telling him SO is
plain.
There is a little story worth telling,
and not likely to get any space else
where. Years ago Governor Budd had
defended a man tried on the charee Of
murder and the case had been tried be-
fore Judge Budd. The prisoner was
found guilty of murder in the second
degree and sentenced TO a term Of
thirty-five years. There We're mitigat-
ing circumstances of no consequence in
this narration. Enough to say that as
Governor Budd would have pardoned
the man. save for feeling of delicacy
owing TO having been his lawyer. the
retiring executive presented the facts
to the incoming Governor and asked
that Gage issue the pardon. He was
told in a cavalier fashion that Gage did

ating all reference to the President and
territorial expansion.
Grove L. Johnson said he would vote
for the Belshaw resolution, but wished
TO say he did not consider the late UNI
pleasantness either a Republican or Dem
OCratic fight, but that houOrS were even
between all the parties on the ticket.
Caminetti said about the same thing
and moved that the resolution be re-
ferred to a committee that it might be
revised to include the opinions of both
majority and minority.
Dfbble of San Francisco said he did not
see how that could be done and Burnett
not like the resolution for the reason that
it made no reference to holding on to the
Philippines and other territory that the
nation had acquired only after crimson
ing il with the blood of American soldiers.
Speaker Wright said the question was
on the motion of Caminetti to refer TO
committee and the motion was lost. Then
it was on the sub-measure of Meade and
that also was lost. The original resolu-
ton came then and it CARED with only
the minority vote against ii. Valentine
of Los Angeles was in the chair for
Speaker Wright on the final question. and
he ordered the resolution transferred to
the Senate for the concurrence of that
body.
Belshaw then introduced another resolu-
ton giving each member an allowance
for stationery amounting to $25 per cap
tia, and on motion of Dibble a recess was
taken until a quarter of l clock, that

themselves from the perils of the three

neglected, will develop into dangerous dis
