As the Barons stood between the crown and the common people as a buffer and restrained each from taking the other by the throat, so the Council of the Empire at once admonishes and counsels the Gov- ernment and restrains and mollifies the lower house, which thus far has shown itself to be largely composed of political firebrands, so- listie 3 1 anarchistic, radical on all points and to fight and commit all sorts of political mischief if by so doing it can ass the throne.

Under the law at present, a vessel over twenty tons burden must have an enroliment _ (either permanent or temi- y) and a license, which latter must issued every year.. Under the new law the enroliment and license will be consolidated inte one blank, and the yearly renewal will be made by an indorsement across the doc- ument itself.

POIATICS 111, TIMED. Politicians of the baser sort, attempted to do politics when people were staggering. under the blow of misfortune, were compelled te seek new: 3 other than those published in California to publish re- flections on the Governor's manage- ment of State affairs. Men who were at the outset in- clined to criticize the Governor for refusing ‘o issue an immediate pro- clamation to convene the Legislature in extra session are now giving thanks that their advice was not followed. Imagine what would have followed if the Legislature had heen called to consider everything that excited law- vers and property owners had seen fit to suzgest. . Tt is practically settled that an ex- tra session- wHl' take place to con- sider a few subjects of vital impor- not who | tance to the State, but the session will be brief. GILLETT'S POSITION. Congressman I. N. Gillett is a can- didate for Republican nomination to | the office of Governor. On April 186, in Washington, two days before the fire in San Francisco, he wrote as fol- |lows to The Call: Editor Call, San Francisco. Dear Sir—ITaving noticed many stated ments in the Califernia press to the ef- fect that. aithough I am a candidate for Governor, I am also endeavoring to re- tain a hold on the congressional nomina- tion, may I ask the favor of presenting a short statement in response thereto? At no_time since I became a candidate for Governor, several wecks ago, have I, | nor has any one in my name, or by au- thority, made the declaration that I am a candidate for Congress or desire to be considered for that nomination. Through the advice of my friends and in response to encpuraging letters eived by me ‘ from all parts of our State I am a ean- didate for the nomination for Governor and for no other place on the ticket, and | Board in this conncction will add that the many assurances of support which I have received satisfy me that the State is willing te acknowledge the appeal of Northern California for recognition and to indorse its candidate.

S T A Aid for Policemen. Chlef Dinan has received two letters inclosing drafts for the benefit of mem- bers of the department who were sufler- | ers by the earthquake and fire. One was from Thomas O. McQuaide. superintend- ent of police of Pittsburg, Pa., who in- closed a draft for $1000, contributed by the police and detective bureaus of that city. Superintendent McQuaide said: ‘‘We express our deepest sympathy and trust it may in some degree tend to ald those who suffered by the dreadful calamity.” - The other was from Louis Terner, Chief of Police, Richmond, Va.. inclos- ing a draft for $100, contributéd by the of Pouce Commissioners and police’\department of that eity. appreval.
