a DISGUSTING EXHIBITION OF
EGOTISM.

1t would appear that no delegation Of
Californians, whether representing social,
iraternal or political organizations, can
start across the country in any other
spirit than that of a drunken W hoop-up.
Every delegation representing California
makes this disgusting exhibition of its
egotism. The telegraphic accounts of the
knights Templar parade in Boston con-
tain much which should cause humiliat-
ing reflection. One of the communicates
from this State had a black bear in
landau. and in front of the bear was q
large box containing ice, with champagne
bottles.
This perpetual association of the name
OF California with conviviality and re-
velry, not to say drunkenness and de-
bauchory, has given the State reputation
abroad for anything but decent, dignified
sobriety. The most unfortunate place
perhaps in the world IN which to make
bacehanalian display of this kind was in
the staid, puritanicaI city of Boston.
When body of men go forth as the
eXponents of the manhood and character
Of State, they ought at least to bestow
some thought on the impression they are
making, and to do this understandingly
they must study the mental temper OF the
people before whom they make the eXhi-
bition. The man who wants to impress
his respectability upon an assemblage
would scarcely adopt loud-mouthed pro-
family in convocation of ministers.
The California communicates, after
whooping and yelling from the Pacific
to the Atlantic Ocean, distributing bad
wine as if wine was the peculiar product
of California. produced no where else
and an article with which mankind was
wholly unfamiliar. eventually reached
Boston. Having made an exhibition
entirely across the continent it became
necessary to stun the Athens OF America
with a bear and champagne on ice. 1t is
time that this misrepresentation and
boastful egotism should stop. A little
becoming modesty will give the world a
much better impression of US. When
California delegation starts abroad one is
reminded of the boastful raftsman's
Characterization of himself, "Bow your
back and spread, for the pet child of
calamity is a-coming."
The inappropriateness of this noisy
revelry on the part of delegations from
this State should long since have been ap-
parent by the more modest and becoming
coming conduct of other States. What
other State of this Union has ever made
or attempted to make such an assinine
exhibition of its egotism and its pro-
vincalism as have the delegations which
have gone from this State to conventions
and other assem- blages at the East. If there
is any point to be gained by this exhibi-
ton of self-consciousness its value would
have suggested itself to some other COM
monwealth. To be a citizen of Cali
fornia should be esteemed an honor: but
noisy rowdyism will not enforce upon the
world acceptance of that fact.

JUDGE MURPHY WAS MISTAKEN.

When the trial of Durrant. accused of
the murder of two girls. whose bodies
Francisco was opened by Judge
Murphy of the Superior Bench of San
Francisco, motion was made by the de-
fendants attorneys for a change of
venue. The ground for this motion was
that every paper in San Francisco, daily
and weekly, had convicted the defendant
of the crime; that his case was thereby
forestalled in public opinioni and that if
The newspapers were to be accepted as
the exponents of public thought. Dur
rant was already convicted in the minds
of the people Of San Francisco, and
therefore could not have an impartial
trial. Judge Murphy overruled the
motion on the ground that necessarily
the newspapers of San Francisco do not
reflect the thought of that city. Column
after column of declaration of Durrant's
guilt, even to the extent in one instance
of a statement that he had made a con-
court to grant a change of venue. After
hearing the reading of this vast avalanche
of newspaper denunciation of the
prisoner, the Judge decided that the
newspaper statements were not to be ac-
cepted as an indication of the state of the
public mind. The motion for q change of
venue was therefore denied.
Either Judge Murphy believed that the
newspapers had not debauched public
opinion concerning the case. or he was
guilty of gross abuse of judicial discre-
ton. The effort to obtain jury has con-
vinced us that Judge Murphy was mis-
taken. Out of an original venire of $500
Jurors, but nine were obtained, and when
1000 citizens had been examined as to
their qualifications, but eleven jurors
had been sworn to try the case. OF
course due allowance must be made for
those who are exempt by law from jury
in every venire these exemptions would
be found.i However, 50 per cent of
those who were examined by the court
for the purpose of ascertaining their
qualifications were found to have formed
or expressed fixed opinions, and by rea-
sou of their opinions were excused from
service.
1t becomes apparent, therefore, that
Judge Murphy's conclusion on the i'm
potency of the journalists of San Fran
cisco to form public opinion is erroneous.
Men are influenced by what they read,
oven though they have no confidence in
the publication in which they find it.
The people of San Francisco have evil
dently made up their minds that Dur
rant is guilty of the murder of Blanche
Lamont and Minnie Williams. While

II has been said that about all there is
in journalism in these later days is per-
sOnality. This is not wholly true, but it
is true enough to be lamentable. The
strain to make all columns of the press,
or nearly all, personal, is not creditable
to the age. 1t speaks of disposition that
is anything but beneficial in it's activity,
to the people or the press. But if the pa

to the crowding out and belittling OF
thought and the results of human labor
and intellect for good, in Heavens name
will not the sensational press from

and sketch people of some consequence,
and whose life records may be of helpful

shameless woman. Iu a few days there
after the wife sued Corbett for divorce
and made the prostitute correspondent.
This gave the sensational press its second
opportunity, and the face of the harlot
was again thrust before the public,
and alongside of it the portrait of the in
jured wife. In a few days more the di-
vorce was granted, and again the portrait
OF the wanton was printed. Last week
Corbett married his mistress, and for the

week three columns of first page were
given up to sketches and pictures Of two

other wife seeking a divorce. Neither
of them are of any consequence, and
the life of neither serves as model
for the young womanhood before which
such things are thrust. And yet that
paper is the least sensational of any of the
daily newspapers Of the metropolis. The

and inconsequential personality before
the public eye is we'll known. 1t does
not require any high degree of prescience

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The United States Tobacco Journal sees in
the bicycle an enemy of the tobacco trade 1t
Is alleged by other critics that men do not
smoke much while riding the wheel; that out
lngs are encouraged by the bicycle, and thus
taste Is weaned away from the weed some
what; that the boys smoke fewer cigarettes
because OF their engagement OF time and in-
terest with the wheel, and that young men
who have been Incorporate smokers become
temperate ones if they ride the bicycle much;
therefore the trade is being hurt. Perhaps it
IS, but If all is conceded that may be said in
that respect, the benefits of such trade re-
ment concerning the matter Indeed. the
WarInest OF tObaccos enemies could not put
the case much stronger to show the value of
the wheel than to adopt the complaint of the
tobacco traders themselves. However, we do
not believe such complaint to be more than
half justified. The wheel has somewhat at
fected both the liquor and the tobacco trade.
but then somebody has gained immensely
thereby. Moreover, 1t is estimated that over
three million wheels have been made in the
United States in the last six years alone and
that this industry has given employment di-
rectly and Indirectly to over three thousand
women and seven thousand men, and surely
these are facts worth considering in such O
