IT was silly for the reporters Of news
to telegraph on the foolish yarn of the
Spanish Cuban paper EE F'anaJ to the
effect that England. Italy and Mexico are
about to combine to coerce the United
of the Monroe doctrine, and that the first
step in that direction is to be naval
demonstration in the principal Atlantic
ports of the United States. A more non
sensical and idiotic dispatch was never
wired across the continent and that is
saying good deal. There is not q To-
year-old schoolboy in the land who can
not see the absurdity of such yarn in
the first reading.

Its Fall Term-Good News of Pupils
Deserving of Support.
The Sacramento School of Design. con-
Quoted by the California Museum Asso-
citation in the Art Gallery. Professor w.
f. Jackson, Principal, is about to resume
its sessions by opening the fall term. It
will need many pupils to give it the sup
port that is necessary to its thorough eff
cheney. During the hard times of the
past two years it has met with no little
dlfflculty, but now it would seem that the
people should give 1t the helping right
hand and fill its chairs, TO the end that it
may maintain the fine reputation it has
bullded In the past ten years.
AS an evidence of it's capacity it may be
stated that letter received in this city
Saturday told of one of the early pupils
OF the school carrying off a prize last
week, offered by San Francisco busi
ness firm for a needed costly design. The
winner OF the prize is Miss Mary {.
Crouch. She had to compete with some
of the best San Francisco artists and most
skilled illustrators of the State, but won
easily over them all for originality and
grace and skill in free-hand drawing and
in color.
Another of the graduates of the Sacra-
mento School is a successful teacher In
up-river counties; another is a teacher in
the far south of the State; two others are
teachers in this city; another is under
good salary as designer for lithograph-
ers in San Francisco; another has held
the post of art teacher in leading Cali
fornia college; several have been State
Fair medalists; one is prominent art
instructor in the State of Washington;
one is an assistant Instructor in the
school; several support themselves by
designing, and two by their skill in por-
traiture; a great number who have not
the necessity to do so are capable, but
employ their skill to satisfy their tastes
and crafty a love for art One OF the
graduates is now a prominent cartoonist
for business advertisements, and another
has employment as a designer IN the
Southern Pacific Railroad shops in this
city.
Perhaps as many as twenty more
could be instanced as engaged in good
business to which their art development,
had in this school has aided them. were
the register studied and the careers of
the pupils hunted up.

THE retiracy of General Schofield yes

the United States, sends to the list OF
pensioners one of the very few remaining
heroes of the war of the rebellion. That
he goes into retiracy poor man and
dependent upon his half-pay, we scarcely
know whether to treat as virtue or a
fault. 1t speaks of his generosity, his
open handedness and hospitality, but it
speaks also of improvidence, in this that
out of a generous salary he has not laid
by something of a store, for he has
been in good health and has not had a
large family. Of course the General
knew that he would not become depend

very comfortable living. General Scho-

Joaquin MILLER. the poet, has three
column half sentimental plea in San
Francisco paper of yesterday in favor OF
clearing out the Sacramento River and
making it run deep and strong as of old.
There are some good reasons given for it
along with some bad ones. 1t ought 10
be cleared out and be deep and strong
But it ought to be clear also, and not be
made sluiceway for filth. Its naviga-
bility ought. as Mr.. Miller contends, to
be restored, no matter what the cost. but
it should be likewise preserved from fu-

ADVICEs from Honolulu Saturday in
dicate that the cholera has not abated its
virulence in that quarter, but is on the
increase. Quarantine interposition is
now very rigid at San Francisco, but de-
spite that the germs of the disease may be
brought in. The one thing to do is 20
make ready, and to double our energies
in putting the city into a good sanitary
condition. There is danger and will be
all winter, and we cannot therefore take
too many precautions IN the matter of the
sanitation OF houses, drains. pits. closets,
under-hoor spaces, cellars, sidewalk base
ments, sewers, cesspools, house drainage
and garbage. Let every citizen deem it
his imperative duty to his family and to
the community, to aid the health inspect
ors and to reveal to them every tact they
should know, no matter whether it in

he is no good neighbor who. for fear of

THERE comes from Washington an un-
authenticated story that our Government
has notified the Spanish Minister that un-
less Spain within the next ninety days
suppresses the rebellion in Cuba the
United States will intervene, so far at
least as to recognize the belligerency Of
the Cubans. and that, perhaps, it may go
beyond that-an this in the interests of
humanity and of commerce. 1t is very
much to be hoped that this news will be
confirmed. Only, three months seems too
long period OF grace to allow Spain.
She has had now since April lst to crush
what she speaks OF as a mere handful of
insurgents, but is as far from accom-
plishing the task to-day as she was at the
outbreak of the rebellion. Six months.
therefore, the Cubans have maintained
themselves on an island not larger than
some Of the smallest OF our States. and

A WORD OF WARNING TO WHEEL
MEN.

Let bicyclists beware. No modern In
much good to its users as the bicycle;
none have become so widely popular; none
afford more healthful exercise, and not
one so combines pleasure and utility. But
wheelmen must remember that the bicy-
Gle has so far operated disadvantageously
upon some industries, and SO projected
itself into public concern, and demanded
SO much of recognition from other in
strumentalities of public activity, that it
is simple idiooy for bicyolists to defy the
public as some of them are doing.
Let the wheelmsn beware, for IL they
much more transgress there will be a
combination of opposing interests, and
such severe restrictions laid upon the
use of the wheel, that its value will be
destroyed. That to which we especially
refer now is the persistent, willful and
criminal action of wheelmsn in speeding
upon public streets, in negleoting to
sound bell on approaching crossing
and while crossing a street. and in over
taking and passing teams and bicyclists
without warning. All three OF these
odenses are shameful, two of them are
unlawful.
The speeding on the business streets
has been resumed and ia growing worse.
Cat 1iorh ind dt11er nd
IN as to attract general attention and
awaken alarm. The sounding of the bell
has largely ceased, and bioyclists shoot
over crossings without indicating to
ts2msters and pedestrians their approach.
AS to overtsking and passing without
warning, that, too, should be an offense.
Il is as reprehensible as fast riding and
shooting crossings. Invariably such
passing from behind startles the party
passed, and exposes both to danger of
collision from a sudden swerye.
The gentleman will not shoot past an
other wheelman without warning; only
the boor and the tough do that. The gem
Gleman knows that il is common polite
ness to warn the party in advance to
"hold steady" as he is about to be
passed. Several accidents are reported
TO us because of this unwarned passing,
and unless it is put stop to some lives
will be sacrificed.
AS for swift riding and non-use Of bells
after dark we suggest that the ordinance
be amended so as to require bells to be
used by day as we'll as after sunset, aud
that the penalty be stiffened from fine to
absolute imprisonment for violation of
the order. AS to scorching on the streets,
# the police should be armed with long
clubs and be authorized to brain the fools
who indulge in It. male or female. it would
be esounding Injustice though not possible
under humane laws. The Capital City
Wheelman's Club q month ago con-
demned ali the ofIenses referred to and
rendered the police it's services Ia en-
forcing the law by ordering charge, trial
and expulsion of any members offending.
Let the club meet again and go step fur
ther by appointing committees to see to
it that scorchers and dumb runners are
prosecuted and punished.
