JOURNALISTIC PAUL PRYs.

Life well says that good many people
think that the newspapers in this blessed
land of freedom have too much to say
about private people and their private
affairs, If Life had said most people
think SO, it would have been more ac-
curate.
There is a large class of people who pro-
ject themselves into newspaper publicity,
and they are for the most part class the
general public cares the very least about.
Certainly newspaper men care the least
about them; but as rule they manage to
relate themselves to news in such way
as to keep themselves very prominently
before the public, in print. But when
this class is put out of consideration il is
true that the sensational press concerns
itself altogether too much about the
affairs of people who have right to
privacy.
There are very many people who never
viii understand, for the very good reason
that it is not Understandable, why their
personality should be dragged before the
public, their appearance described, their
| physical defects or perfections and their
private affairs commented upon. Two
eminent lawyers of Boston have in
quired in the Hdrcd1'd Ldm ReUieW into
the question whether people have not a
common-law right to privacy, right
that may be successfully maintained in
the courts. The conclusion is reached
| that the same right to be protected from a
blow Of a club in the hands of an assail-
ant runs to the protection of the citizen
against publicity of his family affairs and
private concerns, when no public inter-
est is involved. If this Judgment of the
learned Bostonians is sound, we trust
that some one with the backbone and the
means will make test case, and bring
some Paul Pry of the sensational press to
the bar of a court to answer why he
should not be punished for breach of
privileges gained under the liberty of the
press.

wide of The climatic advantages and pro-
ductiye capacity of California, that we
renew the suggestion that our people go
up to Marysyille this week in
large numbers TO visit the Citrus
Fair of this district. Lessened
rates prevail upon the railway line
for the week, and it is therefore matter
of ease to go up on any of the next five
days. There is to be a special excursion
ON Saturday next, but it is best not to
wait for that, but to go earlier while, the
weather is fine, and the opportunities to
examine the exhibits are ample.
We must remember that great benefits
will result from large attendance, since
it will encourage growers, induce others
to enter into that in which the people
manifest a lively interest, and viii aid in
making the fact more widely known,
that in Central California such fair can
be held in mid-winter

SHALL THERE BE ARBITRATION.


The German Press strongly urges the
United States and Great Britain to settle
the seal fishing question by arbitration.
before board of iurists, to be selected
from neutral powers. The idea of war
between the disputing nations is secuted
as altogether Improbable.
The United States is probably as ready
as her best friend could desire to arbi-
trate the issues, but the basis upon which
such arbitration should proceed appears
to be difficult to lay. We believe that
the grounds for it set forth by Lord
Salisbury are too confined and not suffi-
ciently broad to bring the claims of the
United States freely and fairly before an
arbitration court.
1t is difficult to understand. since we
have not preferred the claims that Behring
Sea .-is closed sea, what difference it
makeswhether in lS24-25 England made
any concessi ons concerning Russian
jurisdiction. Yet Great Britain insists
that upon that determination alone the
judgment shall hinge. The real issue
is, did we buy of Russia rights
in marine territory which that nation
had uninterrnptedly enjoyed, and which
it had the right to transfer; whether, in
the maintenance of such acquired rights
we have, to preserve the seal fisheries,
the right to extend our jurisdiction
beyond the three league limit?
Such issues, it would seem, Great Brit
ain can wcll afford to agree to as the basis
of arbitration. If the board shot,ld hold
against the United States, il is then asked
that the arbitrators shall determine what
shall be closed season in the taking of
fur seals, and whether international laws
will justify the deep-sea capture of seals
by any one, regardless of regulations es-
sential for the preservation of the fisher
les.
Ii the idea is entertained abroad that
the people of the United States are anx-
1ous to provoke an armed conflict with
Great Britain, a mistaken notion is enter
tanned. We do not mistake the beat of
the national pulse when we say that a
war is not only not desired, but that our
people earnestly wish it to be avoided,
and that they viii make many conces-
sions to escape it. The tone of the En-
glish press, however, is not calculated to
foster a friendly and conciliatory spirit.
1t has been, and is, to an irritating degree
pugnaeious and contemptuous, aud if it
reflects in any consideral degree the
spirit of the statesmen OF Great Britain.
the outlook for amicable adjustment of
the fur seal fishery difficulty is anything
but encouraging.

The RECoRD-UNIoN, one of the most
prosperous and substantial newspapers
on the Pacific Coast, comes to us this
morning in a new form. Their new
Goss lightning press is in operation, and
they can print 24,000 copies per hour.
This will allow them to get the very latest
telegraphic news and still catch the early
mails. The REcoRp- UNION will here
after appear as a six-page journal. with
cut pages SO that it can be unfolded like a
book, instead of the old eight-column
style with uncut pages. The WEEKLY
UNION will hereafter appear as twelve
page paper Gnstead Of eight, with cut
pages secured. The Office has been sup
piled with an entire new dress of type.
and altogether is one of the most COM
plete newspaper offices on the Pacific
Coast.
The RECORD UNION is one of our most
valued exchanges. Not only does it con-
tain all the local news of our neighboring
city, the capital of the State, but it is,
without exception, the best paper on
telegraphic news edited on this coast.
Its kilograms are more consolidated,
more to the point, and the latest, of any
paper on our list We wish the REcoRp-
UNION all prosperity for the future, and
hope that it may ever continue onward

THE REFORM BALLOT SYSTEM.

The San Francisco Aua declares that
the result of the late State election put the
ballot reform question ''to sleep.s so far.
we presume it means, as this Legisla-
ture is concerned. This is an unwar-
ranted assumption. 1t is based upon the
fact that the Republican platform did not
atfirmatively declare for a specific reform
ballot system, whereas the Democratic
platform did, and in naming a distinct
method it went too far. But that is
neither here nor there. Long before the
Democratic party ever entertained the
idea ofapproving any reform ballot sys-
tenn, the Republican party was advocat-
ing such methods IN several States. and
the Republican press was urging the
adoption of systems modified from the
Australian law.
There is not the slightest reason what
ever to anticipate any antagonisni to the
proposition TO adopt reform ballot sys-
tenn in the present Legislature upon par
fisan grounds. If any differences of
opinion develop, they will, we believe. be
purely personal and in no respect par
tisan.
We suspect from the expression of the
Alta that partisan Democracy, though
pledged to reform system, would be
pleased to see the dominant party put re-
form ballot suggestion in the present
Legislature ''to Sleep" Mere partisan
ship never looks beyond party advantage.
The truth is that there is no politics in
the question. 1t is simply one of method
in good government, into which no possi-
bic partisan consideration can properly
enter, and which cannot be tortured into
relationship with any political principle

THE REITER AFFAIR.


Commander Reiter has asked for a
naval court-martial to inquire into the
question whether he was culpable, as
charged, in the Barrundia affair. In de-
rnanding to be tried, Commander Reiter
takes exception to the action of the Sec
retary of the Navy, as unwarranted, and
he asserts his Innocence of offense, and
declares that he did his whole duty in
the premises. The country will scarcely
pass Judgment upon the issue thus
joined without awaiting the outcome of
the trial that Commander Reiter asks for
That would seem to be right thing to
grant him. 1t is not, as we understand
it, an absolute right, but it is improbable
that the Secretary will refuse an old
naval officer the opportunity to make a
defense before a board of his peers He
asserts it, however, to be right to be
tried by court-martial, but it may be
doubted if he is correct in that view of
the matter. The Secretary has the right
it would seem, to remove and reprimand
any officer. Still, whether such judg-
ment is final under demand to be tried
is question of naval regulation and law
upon which the lay mind is not techni-
cally informed.

THE dust theory has been revived to
account for pneumonia, and the New
York Herald has taken up the defense of
the doctrine. The argument is that pneu
inonia is always more prevalent and fatal
in .'cool, dry, dusty weather. but that
when rain or snow falls the disease
abates. Reasoning from results to ascer-
tain causes, there is certainly much in the
argument advanced, and it finds MANY
medical men FOR its advocates. There was
9 good deal of pneumonia in Sacramento
the last fall. and it is a fact that il was
most preyalentduring the period when in
the evenings the city was enveloped in
dust and the smoke OF burning leaves.
Next season let it be seen to that street
sprinkling is continued until the winter
rains set in, and that the law against rub
Dish burning at evening is strictly en-
forced. We have not the slightest doubt
but that many people were sent to their
graves, and others suffered serious lung
and throat troubles, because forsix weeks
the city was enveloped four hours each
day in sitting cloud of fine dust and in
heavy smoke from burning vegetation.
VERMONT is about to be put TO the ex
pense OF an extra session of the Legisla-
ture, because that body in its last session
committed so many blunders. 1t appears
that in passing the new school law the
Houses allowed the bill TO go through
with so many contradictions, inconsist-
encies and absurdities in it that the State
Treasurer finds it unsafe for him to per-
NIT any disbursements to be made for the
support ofthe schools. That any Ameri-
can Legislature in an old State should
prove itself thus incompetent to legislate
is amazing. Is it possible that we are
choosing Legislative timber so i'll in these
days that the laws resulting cannot be
understood?

THE men of the Seventh Cavalry have
been accused of killing Indian women
and children in the present troubles.
This charge grew out of the fact that this
was Clusters command, and it is supposed
to have very bitter feeling against the
Brules especially, because of the Custer
massacre. But the officers and men are
now out with statement that the charge
is "a lie." They say that in the fight at
Wounded Knee Creek, the soldiers took
especial care not to fire upon squaws or
papooses. They add that the men often
cried out to each other that such and such
figure was that of squaw, and to be
very careful and not shoot near them. The
soldiers charge that the Indians them
selves killed such women and children as
lost their lives in that engagement. There
is nothing improbable in this, since it is
knowd that Indians have killed suuaws
and papooses when closely cornered, to
prevent their capture, and that where the
engagement is in close quarters and the
women and children have been in the
melee, the Indians have fired recllessly
through their own ranks, and regardless
Of the women and children. There are
several instances of this having been
done.
