N INTERESTING INSTANCE of how political power may be used to prevent bad legislation was farnished by the action of Governor Mo. Bride of Washington the other day in connection with a bill passed by the Legislata-e to repeal the libel law of that State. Evidently the Governor is made of the right kind of staff, for when the lubby which surrounds the Legislatare at Olympia read the riot act to him he promptly turned on the electric lights and read the riot act to the lobby in a way that produced congealed pedal extremities all arouad, It appears that Washington has a libel law under which newspapers may . print retractions on demand of parties injured, which takes from libel suits the presumption of malice. In other words, if an action is brought after the editor has attempted to correct hie mistake, only actuel damages can be awarded by juries. The newspapers of Seattle and Tacoma at this session of the Washington Legislature have severely criticised the lobby for ite scandalous work, during the Senatorial contest, and in retaliation the boodiers passed a bill repealing this salutary law. Governor McBride promptly vetoed it, whereupon orders were issued by the lobby to pass it over his veto. It was at this stage of the proceedings that the Governor showed himeelf to be the master of the situation. He notified the lobby that if they persisted in overturning his veto hs would veto J. J. Hill’s bill permitting the Great Northern Railway to build a tunnel under the city of Seattle.: As this measure could not be passed over the veto, a halt. was ealled-at ones. _The-railroad managers in the lobby immediately withdrew the papers in circulation pledging votes against the repeal'ng bill, and a truce was declared. In. order to he had died about 6 o save Hill’s im portent railroad measure. it became necessary te abandon the fight against the press, and ail is now peacefal and serene at Olympia. PPP PRET HE HPD THE TERDIBLE PTOMAINE. ptomaine-p \ NOTHER —— inent San Francisco man has died from the effects cf a caer eharacter, directa attention * hei aS pegatioe L sions one — gnard against it. Ptomaine poison is the result ot a nacuitae kiud of ‘ood dscomposition. It is the direet result of the growth of the infinitesimally minate bacteria that cause decay, It is the cause of death:in many of the bacterial diseases. It may occur in living as well as in dead bodies. It cannot be recognized by the taste or odor or appearance. It manifests iteelf only when too late to be avoided. in this latest ease the victim dined as usual at a ‘restaurant, apparently noticed nothing peculiar about the food, became sick soon 8 after and five days later was dead. What particaler article contained the noxious material it is impossible to say. There are many in which it might have existed. Ptomaine poisoning is no more frequent now than formerly, but it is better kuown and the cases more easily identified. Death formerly ascribed to various causes are now rightly attributed to ptomaines and so the list seems long. Just as appendicitis appears almost like a modern epidemic because its character has only been recently understood. There is no way of guarding against ptomaine poisoning. . As the danger lies in decaying matter, and especially in matter of animal origin, care iu se lecting fresh material is a partial safeguard; but often what seems to the senses to be pure may be polluted. Poisoning by shellfish, by cheese and most of all by ice cream, ou due to ptomaines, are s0 common as to hardly attract attention, and in all these cases is practically unavoidable. It is one of the dangers of life that must be faced, but fortunately it is not a very serious One, for the proportion of persons killed in this way is extremely small. It is as foolish to worry about this danger as about the ‘peril ‘of -the electric car or the live wire, or any one of the score of dangers that continually threaten us. Personal Mention. Nat P. Brown, who has been quite ill with la grippe, and nearly recovered from that disease, is now afflicted with a severe attack of eczema. J. M. Hadley, of the Tarner & Hadley Company, has retu:ined from a business trip to San Francisco. J. H. O'Connor arrived here this morning from San Francisco. J. W. Finney, the mining man of Downieville, came down today on his way to San Francisco. Mr. and Mrs, O. L. Miller and sons, Addison and Lester, who have been , here for the past three weeks, returned to North San Juan this afternoon. Jerry Goodwin is over from You Bet. Miss Florence Andrews of.this city leaves tomorrow morning for: Reno, Nevada, where she expects to remain. Last Bites. This afternoon the last sad rites were performed over the late Harvey Cooper et his late home on East Broad street, Rev. J. Sims officiating. A large nam~ ber of friends attended, and there were many beantifal floral offerings. The . pallbearers were B. F. Snell, F. L. Arbogas:, T. C:\Randall, W. F. Engle” bright, J. M. Walling and a G. Bukeforth, The Winter Route East. Ah erroneous impression prevails that because the Rocky Mountains have a high elevation, the winter climate is cold and snowy, The fact is the average precipitation of moisture daring the entire year is less than fifteen inches, and danger from snow blockadeg’on the railroads very slight. This is especially true of the Denver & Rio Grande, over which System travel has gone with less interruption for the past ten winters than upon the majority of lines popularly supposed to be free from such delays.

When be reached the cabin the men broke in the door and found Johison in bed, cold and stiffin death, with a glass on the table alongside the bed in which there was a little whisky and a few crystals of strychnine, showing the manner in which the old man met his death. They also found a vial in which there was a small quantity of the poison. A-telephone message was sent to Grass Valley notifying Coroner Hocking.
