THAT RICH GRAND JURY.

A dispatch says that the New York
Grand Jury, just impaneled, has upon
it five or six men worth millions of dot
lars each, and that the combined wealth
of the jury exceeds one hundred and
twenty-five millions of dollars. Well
that is worth recording. Such men
should do jury duty, as well as others
and why not?
That millionaires are compelled to
serve on juries of inquest, like that
means that there was no partiality il
the impaneling of the jury 1t
means, too, that great deal of cour-
age should be expected of that jury. and
that its work ought to reflect its inde-
pendence of bribery and corruption
Nine times out of ten, yes, nine and
nine tenths times jury corrupting has
been among men who needed money, oil
thought they did The man with large
means is not so likely to be approached
since need of money is not his weak
spot
These wealthy Grand Jurymen are
presumably large property owners, and
are deeply interested in economic gov
ernment and good administration OF
municipal affairs in New York Yes
it is gratifying that millionaires are not
excused from jury duty in the great
metropolis. However, this case is not
without parallel. Frequently in San
richest men, largest dealers, and heav-
lest taxpayers, has been placed on the
grand panel. And it is right. First,
because they have large interests in
the community.

Queer ways they have in England
OF chastising and rewarding. Here now,
for instance, is the Rhodes case. A
parliamentary Investigation Commits
sion severely censured Mr.. Rhodes
for the jameson raid upon the Beers.
1t found him responsible for the whole
business. and that he imperiIled the
honor of the nation by his action. and
brought reproach upon the British
colors In fact, it put blame where it
belongs, so far as individuals are con-
cerned. and that, too, with no gentle
hand. That report was adopted. but
instantly motion made to bring
Rhodes to bar for punishment, was
tabled by 304 to n, the House thus
emphatically saying you are guilty.
my son, but you shall take no harm. -
On the 10Th of July Mr. Chamberlain
from the Government benches said
that Rhodes had done nothing to affect
his personal character as a man of
honor, and that the Government pro-
posed to honor, not punish him. This
was all after Rhodes solicitor had
dared the House to call his client to
the bar with certain telltale kilograms
open in his hands The world need
not guess very hard what those tele-
grams contain, nor whom they impIi-
cate.

There is complaint by farmers and
shippers because of the rise in ocean
freights But is is unreasonable to COM

operation of any commercial law. The
owners of bottoms have as much right
to share in the enhanced benefits of the
the growers. The latter do not raise
wheat as a matter of sentiment, nor do
shipowners build and sail them for any

In another column this morning, un-
der the head of New Journalism we
print an interview with a San Fran
cisco newspaper woman which shows
to what length these writer's are re-
quired to go to satisfy the demand of
the modern metropolitan newspaper for
sensational stories, no matter whether
true or false The article is worthy of
careful and thoughtful perusal as it
gives an inside view of the methods
employed by women engaged in the So
called new journalism" of the day 1t
is story of utter degradation. In
her interview with our correspondent
this newspaper woman recites the
shameless methods to which she has
resorted, not stopping at misrepresenta-
ton and absolute lying in order to sat
isfy her employer. She tells how bus
mess men cringe before her for fear
of being roasted" how she invaded
the house offs death to drag from the
weeping widow a story with which the
public had no business and then gar
bled it and added falsehoods in order
to make it "a good story" Certainly
no other line of business into which
women have rushed during the past
few years has dragged them to so low
a level as is disclosed by the state
ments of this shining light among
newspaper women. But we will not
detract from the article itself by furth-
er comment. 1t should be read in it's
entirety to be fully appreciated

San Jose Mercury: Governor Budd
has done many injudicious and unpop-
ular things, but the most of them pale
into insignificance compared with his
releasing Burglar Dave Smith, the
nephew of Boss Rainey. from San
Quentin. Smith was sentenced to serve
eight years. and he had served scarcely
three. He was in no sense entitled to
a pardon. His previous reputation was
| bad. FIis record as a prisoner was
against him. He was one of the ring
leaders in the jute mill riots. Rainey
did not dare to make application to
the Prison Directors for his pardon,
and it is generally believed that it was
obtained as payment by Budd for the
use of Rainey's political influence in
the next campaign.
Governor Budd desires to succeed
himself, or, failing that, to supersede
| White as United States Senator. He
wants Rainey's assistance. The deal
has been made. Burglar Smith has
been turned loose to prey upon the
community, and Rainey is for Budd.
The latter gentleman, with more dis
cretiOn than he usually displays, is in
hiding in Oregon until public indigna-
tion subsidies, but if he imagines that
the people of California will forget the
infamous part he has played in this
| transaction he is seriously mistaken.
IS THE ACT VOID?
San Bernardino Times: Interest in
the constitutionality of the County
Government Act of 1897 is again
aroused by the decision of Judge Gray
| Iof+ e Ur,,Io ntxy
in which it would seem to be attacked.
The press dispatch bringing the news
is rather vague, but it is sufficient to
| arouse the interest of officials and 9TH
ers. The dispatch is as follows:
I'm the case of Public Administrator
McCabe VS.. Tulare County, Judge Gray
rendered a decision to-day holding that
! the provisions of the County Govern
ment Act regulating the salaries of
counties is unconstitutional, on the
ground that it is special legislation. He
! held that the sections regulating the
| classifications of counties is valid.
McCabe sued for 81 600 salary per an
mum under the provisions of the gen
eral law OF 1893. The case goes to the
| Supreme Court"
Just in what the special legislation
consists cannot be told, until the full
text of the decision is received. But at
torneys generally had expected that the
weak point in the law would be the
classification. The County Government
Act of 1897 arbitrarily fixes the popula-
| ton of different counties, the section
| beginning thus: THE population of
| the different counties in this State is
hereby ascertained and determined to
! be and is as follows"
The Act of 1893 bases the population
of the several counties on the Federal
census of 1890, and attorneys have
| grave doubts as to the right of the
Legislature to fix the population arbi-
trarily as in the law passed a few
| months since.

WHY NOT THE WHEEL?

San Dfegan Sum, 1t appears as
though every means of transportation
to the Klondyke had been suggested
except the bicycle. And what's the
matter with the bicycle in that con-
nection? They claim the surface of
the snow freezes so hard that man
can walk upon it, with or without
snowshoes If that be the case, a
bicycle with padded tire could be
run over the surface of the same snow.
Bicycles have been used everywhere
else on earth, and it would be strange,
now, if they could not be used on the
way to the gold mines.
THE PRESSING NEED FOR GOLD.
Los Angeles Herald: Never was there
greater necessity for increased gold
production than at the present time.
Consumption in the arts and manufac-
lures has become so immense that
some of the ablest statisucians predict
that gold will disappear from none
tarY use at not a very distant day.
Goetbeer, who is regarded as the ablest
statistician on the subject of produc-
ton and consumption of the precious
metals, says that the gold money OF
the world is about one-third less than
the gold which has been produced in
the last forty years. Within that time
there has been a very much larger pro-
duction than ever before in the same
period Forty years covers the whole
production in Australia and South
Africa, and two-thirds of the immense
production in California. From 1S4S to
1896. inclusive. California produced
gold to the amount of 81 ,2S3, ,000,O 900,
and only about S400,000,000 was pro-
duced DriOr to 1891.

A TAX ON WHEELS.

Oakland Enquirer: Very much in
line with what the Enquirer" has been
saying about bicycle taxes to be devoted
to providing roadways. or paths, for the
special use of bicyclists, is the letter
from the City Engineer of Seattle to
Street Superintendent Miller, which is
printed in to-day's Times" The city
of Seattle taxes wheels 81 a year, but
turns so per cent. of the money over to
a representative wheeImen's club, which
raises other funds by subscription, and
devotes the whole amount to building
paths. Owing to the topography of the
ground on which that city of hills IS
built. it is not convenient to have the
bicycle paths follow the streets, though
here that would be the only feasible
plan. As we have said before. the Oak
land wheelmen would resent a PROPOSE
ton to impose a special tax upon them
and bury the proceeds in the general
fund. but would welcome such tax if
the money were spent to improve the IA
cilities for wheeling.

ALASKA'S BOOM.

San Diego Union: The Klondyke gold
discoveries are likely to be productive
of far more important results than the
enrichment of large or small number
of miners. Ever since Secretary Seward
negotiated the sale of Alaska to the
United States, thirty years ago, there has
been a more or less prevalent suspicion
/ in this country that the acquisition was
one that was never likely to be turned
to much practical account. The growth
of Alaska has been slow, and while
it was known to have much mineral
wealth, the discoveries heretofore were
not such as to attract any considerable
number of people The great find at
Klondyke however, has already
brought hundreds of miners to Alaska.
There is no doubt that another year
will see its population increased by
thousands. 1t is true that thus far
most of the gold found has been on the
British side of the line but there is no
reason to suppose that the yellow metal
is a respector of national boundaries.
1t has been known for years that the
gold field extends far beyond the bor-
der BY another season prospectors
viii swarm all over that region. The
