Prominent Californfans Charged with
Embezzling Government Funds.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 26.-Two sensa-
tiona, asses. which have never had puso-
licity. although they nave been N the
United States Circuit Court for the past
three years, were brought to light to-day.
The suits contain allegations of embezzle-

residents of this city who nave held fed

Criminal proceedings have not been insti-
tuted, but suits have been commenced to

are William j. 5ryan, who was postmaster
of San Francisco during President Cleve-
lands first term, and who at the last cleo

A GOOD WORD FOR INDIANA.

The Peoria Qll.) Herald says that Cen
eral McNulta has received the degree Of
NJ. ~. from an ndian college, and
adds: "A Hoosier Master of Arts is
about the equal of an ordinary peda-
gogue in the State of Illinois, If this
is intended as an insult to General Nc
Nulta, a weli-known citizen of Illinois,
he can afford to overlook it. If it is in
tended as a fling at the educational in
situations of Indiana or the standard OF
literary culture that prevails among her
people, Ii simply argues the ignorance
of the person making it. In these re-
spects Indiana challenges comparison
with any other Western State, and GER
tainly does not yield precedence to Illi-
nois. Her public school system is fully
equal If not superior 10 that of Illinois.
Her school fund is larger. her schoo
terms are longer, her teachers institutes
are better organized and attended. and
il is believed her school system as a
whole is better organized and better ad-
ministered than that Of Illinois. In re-
spect of higher education. this State is
distinctly in advance. There are several
colleges in this State better equipped for
higher instruction. with a higher stand

scholarship than any in Illinois, except
the University of Chicago. which is still

OUR DUTY TO HAWAII.

1t would be an ~inexcusable blunder for
the administration to permit an attack
upon the Hawaiian government to sue
coed. The United States should sustain
those who are sustaining a republican
form of government by intelligent peo-
pie against the irresponsible rule of a
notorious woman and a lot of adventur-
ers. Any element which may overcome
the present government is sure TO be
hostile to the United States, or, at least,
less friendly than to some European
power which will support it. There are
various influences which are anxious to
get control of Hawaii. The sugar king
of the Pacific coast, Spreckels, is hostile
to the present government, because it

fact, we a treated Hawaii as occupy

by the present Congress-, it and the
Democratic President continued a treaty
which lets Hawaiian sugar into this
country free of duty. when all other
,sugar-producing countries are paying an
ad valorem duty Of 40 per cent. 1t may
be that this concession to Hawaii was
made to Spreckels for his alleged aid to
the Cleveland campaign of 1892; but for
whatever reason the fact that it was

CARDS its relations to Hawaii as different

THE FIGHT OF THE KENTUCKY
FACTIONS.

The Kentucky Democratic convention
has been having a monkey-and-parrot
performance for two days. The result
is that both are so dilapidated that it
would be difficult to tell from the frag-

clear-the out-and-out free-silver ele-

that Kentucky has been a stronghold of
that heresy. the, result is one of the most

mittee on resolutions, made by Senator
Lindsay, reaffirming the Democratic
platform of 1892 and indorsing the finan-
cal policy of the President and Secre-
tary Carlisle, was adopted by a vote of
647 yeas to 233 nays. The Democratic
national platform adopted at Chicago
declares that 1.-The dollar unit of coinage
of both metals must be of equal intrinsic
and e~xchangeable value, to be adjusted
through International agreement or by
such safeguards of legislation as shall
insure the maintenance of the parity of
the two metals and the equal power at

ment of debts"
But while this Endorsement of equal
value coinage is sufficiently explicit and
the victory is emphatic. the minority is in

Senator Blackburn, goes down. For the

Caveat WheeIman.

There is a rule OF common law, "Caveat
emptor." 1t is applicable to the sale and
purchase of real estate, and means let
the purchaser take care. 1t is his business
to protect himself IN making a trade, to
see that he gets a good title and is not
cheated otherwise. If he gets a financial
fall it Is his own fault. 1t Is his duty TO
take care of himself. and not the duty of
the seller or anybody else.
The principle has some moral applica-
ton to wheelmen and women. The bicycle
having been legally and judicially recog-
nized as a vehicle, with certain rights to
the use of streets and roads. though not
of sidewalks, pedestrians must govern
themselves accordingly. The average pc
destrian is willing enough to do so, but
there is some difficulty in knowing now to
do il. No person cares to be run over or
into by a bicycle propelled at full speed
by a human motor, and no person will be
if he or she can avoid it. How to AVOID
it is the question. The solution of The prob
lem is in making the bicycler or bicycler-
ess avoid you. If you are anxious 10 avoid
a collision, he or she is still more SO. as 1t
would probably result mere disastrously to
the rider than to you. That being the case.
the logic and ethics of the situation require
that the whole responsibility OF aVOlllnS II
collision be thrown on the rider. The mo-
ment you begin to dodge you get confused
yourself and you confuse the rider. Either
stand still or proceed without reference TO
the impending wheel. Look straight ahead
or keep your eyes on the ground. Above
all, do not catch the eye of the rider. III
you do the chances are you will both begin
to dodge, n both dodge in the wrong di-
~rection. with a consequent collision. AS a
question of legal rights, remember that at
all street crossings pedestrians have the
right of way, and if a wheelman luns into
you you nave a claim for damages. the
same as If the driver of a carriage should
run over YOU. In addition to this, remem-
Der that the wheelman is even more anxious
TO avoid a collision than you are, and If
you do not confuse him by beginning TO
dodge. and especially by catching his eye.
the chances are a hundred TO one he will
give you a wide berth. The general rule
should be. "Caveat wheelman"-let the
rider beware.

POSITION FINDER TESTED.
Important Invention by Lieut.. Brady
A.. FisISe. L.. =. n.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Another very i'm
portant step in modernizing the defense of
New York harbor has been completed at
Fort Hamilton. 1t consists of a series of
tests of a position finder recently invented
by Lieut.. Bradley A. Fiske, L. 5. ". 1t
was found to be a valuable adjunct to the
disappearing guns recently placed in posi-
ton there by the government. A series of
observations were taken on points OF known
distance from the fort with excellent re-
suits, the error of range being but slight.
Other observations were taken on passing
craft and afterwards compared with ranges
taken with a transit. In every case the
Fiske position finder showed an error of
less than 1 per cent. for each thousand
yards OF range, which is the STANDARD re-
quired by both the United States and En-
glish governments. The board said the
Fiske position finder would solve satisfac-
torily what has been a very difficult prob
lem in completing the utility of the d.sap-
pearing gun. AS the gunner cannot see
the enemy it is necessary that the range
and direction be taken at some other point.
and in the case of a moving object. such as
a ship, accurately and simultaneously con-
veyed to the gunner at the moment of fir
ing. This was done satisfactorily the first

In the report Of the meeting of the
brewers the statement is made that local
politicians in this city have Informed
them that there is not a judge in Marion
county to whom it would be safe to SUBJ
nit the first case to test the constitu-
~tionality of the Nicholson law. So far as
the Journal is informed. the three judges
referred to-McMaster, Harvey n
Bartholomew-have the reputation with
the bar and the public of being intelli-
gent and honest magistrates-men who
would decide any question of law upon
it's merits. Ii the opponents of the law
have a good case, they would certainly
run no risk in presenting it to either Of
these judges. In the same connection,
Mr.. Fairbanks Is reported as saying
that he can bring a suit in Vigo county
with the utmost confidence, which is an
assumption that from some cause or an
other he is confident that the Judge in
that circuit will decide against the OBJ
jectionable features of the Nicholson law.
This confident assumption does the judge
of Vigo a gross injustice. because it
SiNco Tic puDllC W uiiucIotdHu that
either the judge can be relied upon to
decide as Mr.. Fairbanks wishes or hat
he has expressed his opinion of the law
without a hearing. 1t is hoped that
both assumptions are gr~oundless. and
that MIR. Fairbanks was speaking with
that frankness and freedom which is
the habi of one who has long been a
boss, influencing and controlling the
votes of congressman upon whisky-tax
bills and the appointment Of relatives as
officials who supervise whisky gauging.
Because a boss is potential in such mat
tiers, he should not give out that the
judge in the county in which he lives
can be relied upon to render such a de-
cision as he. Mr.. Fairbanks, desires.
Corruption in administration or in legis-
lation can be remedied. but there is no
help and no confidence in government
when judges are the creatures Of n
man or any, class of men. The Journal
does not believe that this evil exists in
Indiana to any extent.
