The address of the Sheriff to the Spring
Valley rioters had to be translated into
five different languages. Comment Is
hardly necessary; but it may be noted,
en- passant. that there is one language
which the rioters of all classes and ma
tionalites understand without transla-
ton. 1t is the language of the WIN,
chester. Future proclamations should
be couched in this wholesome language
SENSATIONAL MoDESTY.
IMarysvile Democrat
The San Francisco papers have dug up
q scandal in the physical culture depart
ment OF the Oakland High School and the
enormity of the sensation devolves upon
the fact that a man saw one OF the young
lady students at work in the gymnasium
clad in a bloOmer costume, the regular
irate father, boiling over with indlgna-
ton, has demanded of the Board OF Edu-
cation that his daughter be excused from
further attendance in that department OF
the school.
1t is custom adopted by the students
to don a uniform while at work IN the
physical culture department. consisting
of slippers, bloomers, etc., the better to
enable them to accomplish the various
feats of exercise. and il was on one OF
these occasions that the Principal Invited
a gentleman friend to witness the mode
and manner of exercise. At this the
modest young lady took offense, told her
pa. and the result was great howl.
1t does really seem peculiar that IN TINS
stage of civilization when the bloomer
is as common on the streets OF the large
cities as the sparrOws which fit about the
cobbles, in full view OF thousands OF men,
a young woman should become offended
at gentleman being invited to the school
room where she appeared daily in bloomer
costume In company with, perhaps.a hum
ored classmates of the anne sex, In lden-
tical uniforms.
END IT.

The Tulare RYgSter and the Sacra-
mento RECORD UN1ON are discussing the
enforcement of laws. Tho former de-
clares, and correctly, too, that laws are
little more than local options; that they
are seldom, if ever enforced against the
wishes of the respective communities.
This seems to horrify the RECORD UNION
and it sees the gravest dangers in such
an admission. Both are right The Reg
lister states the fact and the RECORD
/ UNION Is correct about the dangers of
openly proceeding upon that basis, and
there the discussion may properly end.

| The REcoRD-USION of Sacramento
very tittngly observes: Sensational
journalism in San Francisco has man
aged to get the DurranJ trial into q tangle
that may result in mistral or in dis
charge Of the defendant without the
truth being known concerning the crime
with which he is charged. The sensa-
tional press can always be counted on TO
do mean and bad work"
INVEST AT HOME.
[Calaveras PrOspect.l
| There is still vast uneXplored field in
| California, and the money it costs to
reach some OF these foreign mines would,

property. Men put money freely into
| the most wildcat schemes far from home
that could not be tempted to invest a
dollar in a homo mine on the most flat
tering showing. The dangers of climate,
short seasons, adverse legislation or in
accessibility of a mining district in Mex
| leo, Alaska or Africa cut no figure in the
calculation of the men carried away by

| The freight on fruit from Atlanta to
Eastern points is at the rate OF Is cents
per carload per mile, while in California
the rate is only III cents per carload per
mile, the snug little difference of 81 per
cent.-Florida Agriculturist.

one of those things to paste in your hat
and think about.
| HELP THE BOYS.
| THoncut Pendulum1
The metropolitan press of to-day is
| helping the boys to become bandits, mur-
derers and thugs, One cannot pick up
daily paper without finding three out of
four OF the display headings referring to
some manner of crime-the hold-up of a
stage coach, the robbery of train. the
hanging OF murderer or some appalling
accident followed by crime of some kind.
The details are dished up in true dime
novel style. The youth Of the country
can get more deviltry put into their heads
from one issue OF a city daily than from
whole library of Munro's wild west tales.
| And they take advantage of it. Little
tots who ought to be in school can be
! found with the latest edition. and one can
hear such expressions you bet Dur
rants corker." Brady is pulling the
officers leg about the money! that one
eyed moke is dandy" etc. While there
are some ofour boys who can read these
things and not be affected by them. there
are many others who at the first oppOrtun
ity will try to initiate the deeds OF those
they read about. The boys are not wholly
to blame, either. for men, who ought to
| know better, will discuss these horrors
before them, and in many cases, use lam
guage that would cause even the bandit
himselfto blush. The papers seem to
| b,nt for all that ia had in the world and
