ing the time and skill paid for by the
State to private affairs, and drawing
down a State salary for one office and
deserving it TO perform the functions OF
another office for which the State en-
ploye is not chosen, and for which he
is not salaried? We can see none. 1t
may be good politics, but it is woefuliy
bad policy, and fiagrantly illegal.
But to render itself still more unoffi-
cial the Department of Highways has
taken on another form of avoiding its
duty and misusing its abilities. Its
Chairman has been granted by the
Governor several months leave OF aD-
sence from the State under salary and
has sailed for Europe ostensibly to in
spect some examples of great roads in
Russia. Really the Chairman has gone
to avail himself of the benefits of the
International Congress of Biologists
gust, the Chairman being devoted in
his love for the study of geology.
It is stated that he will make study
of road systems also. But if Russia
has any road system worthy of study,
knowledge of which will benefit the
road movement in California. we have
yet to learn of it. Even if Russia af-
forded opportunity for study of exam
pies of fine roads we fail to compre-
bend why one of the California Com
missioners should be sent abroad to be
educated on the subject at the peoples
cost For assuredly in the present
condition of the road question We know
precisely what California wants, what
are her capabilities, and what the pres
ent necessities. The time has not
come if it ever does, when We wifi need
to study European road systems
through the persons of our road COM
missioners in order to build highways
in this State.
We may not have great deal for our
present Department of Highways TO
do, but that cuts no figure in the case
of diversion of labor and means. the
simple truth is that the trip to Russia
is a pretty and enjoyable outing for the
Chairman while drawing State sal
arv. Yet We recall wildly that
when it was desired two years ago to
send one of the old Bureau of High
ways to the United States Good Road
Congress at the Atlanta Exposition,
the Congress being held under the
auspices of the Federal Government,
it was only with greatest difficulty
that leave of absence for thirty days
for one Commissioner was secured, and
he had then to go on his own per-
sonal cost.
But things are different now"
While one Commissioner is attending
Geological Congress in Russia and an
other is attending to outside affairs
away from the Capitol a third Com
missioner devotes himslef to river work
wholly irrelevant TO the duties he Is
salaried to perform. All this, 1t is
understood IS not only with consent,
but by direction of the Executive. 1t
remains to be seen whether the people
will quietly submit to such direct, not
to say fragrant, reversal of their leg
islatfve action, such bold and illegal
diversion from official duty.

The New York Post is, as was to
have been expected, assured that the
State Department should have sent
such a letter of sharp protest as 1t did
to England, concerning the destruction
of the seal herds. The Post" is of the
opinion that the English are justified
in entertaining the idea that only bad
manners are to be expected in Arneri-
cans. In other words, the Post would
have protests so swaddled in dignified
and involved phraseology as to be in
effective. 1t is certainly true that we
are not trained diplomats on this side
of the water; that our statesmen and
Government officials have not the art
in high decree of Disgusting their mean
ing in communications TO foreign Pow
ers. But our State Department has one
virtue that might well serve as a pat
tern for diplomats, and thereby hasten
understandings and settlements, name
ly. speaking plainly, saying boldly pre-
eisely what is thought, wished and de-
manded. This is now positive and in
disputable, that England understands
that the United States Will not submit
without protest, and maybe something
stronger. TO the destruction of the seal
herd. to accommodate and promote the
greed of Canadian fishermen.

The San Francisco "Argonaut," in
discussing the troubles at the Whittier
and lone Reform Schools, falls into the
error of saying that the Preston School
AT lone was established in 1888, and
Immediately thereafter Los Angeles put
in a claim and secured a similar school
at Whittier. It then proceeds 10 say
that the Whittier school was modelled
on the lines of the lone school. ms
is error. The lone and Whittier schools
were authorized by the same Legislat-
ure, and the Acts We're approved on the
same day, March II, 1889. AS a matter
of fact. the Whittier school was built
and In operation long before stone
was laid for the Preston school. The
contention of the "Argonaut" that the
schools have been failures is not justi-
fed. Until there was political inter-
ference with their management the
schools were quite as successful as are
similar institutions in the older States.
The history of the two schools Will
maintain this fact. That their system
is in need of modification in some re-
spects. notably at Whittier, may be
granted. That the proportion OF JuVe-
nile offenders to the million of inhab-
itants of the State is now greater than
before the reform schools were opened
does not prove their incapacity, but
rather that the cause of the increase OF
crime among juveniles has not had the
application of the scalpel of wise laws,
nor felt the grip society should lay
upon the seat of corruption for youth

The hearing of the charges against

in the steamship Horsa expedition, was
set for today. but the lawyer who ap-

believed that this formality will end

conviction been obtained here. The
holding of the Luis and Trujillo cases
in abeyance is regarded as a mere

A PASTORS PREDICAMENT.
He Flees, Like the Wicked, When No
Man PurSueth.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-The South Park
Avenue Methodist Episcopal church is
without regular pastor on account of
the departure of Rev. DR.. H. w. Boil
ton under peculiar circumstances.
Bishop Merrill of the diocese who un-
derstands the details of the trouble,
said today: "A separation between DR..
Bolton and his wife has been arranged.
He believes his wife has attacked his
moral character with regard to six or
seven wemen and if L were to tell you
who they were you would at once see
that his delusion would be laughable
if it were not so sad. His wife has
never doubted him in the least and has
protested to me and others that she
had never for a moment questioned
her husbands purity, much less i'm
pugned il to him or any one else. She
says he is subject to these mental
lapses and will come out this time, as
he has before and then will not even
remember anything he has said on the
subject. 1t is possible that events may
so shape themselves that an investiga-
ton of the rumorS DR.. Bolton has given
currency to may not be necessary. His
physical and mental condition is such
that there is no prospect of his return
to South Park Avenue church"
DR.. Bolton has gone south and will
deliver occasional lectures. His wife
is in South Bend, Ind. DR.. Bolton has
been prominent in church, Grand
Army, Masonic and other secret cir
cles of the city for " :. He was
chaplain during the civ ar, is 7ast-
commander of u. S. Giant pos and
state chaplain of the P. o. 5 of 3 and

always been in demand as a patriotic
orator
