The Stockton Record" scores a capi-
tai point, namely, if reading in the nude
press exaggerated and sensational ac-
counts of the revolt at San Quentin
Prison brought the boys at Whittier
School into rebellion and mutiny, what
must be tie effect of the daily reading of
the yellow kid press by children in the
homes of the State? The Record
asks:
If the incident at San Quentin pois-
oned Whittier and was communicated
| through the press, what poison may be
distributed Wy the publication of the
Bradbury Ward, Dimond, Craven Fair,
Ashley Baldwin, Brown Overman and
DelmaS-Vo Turkheim scandals? Does
anyone imagine that among millions of
readers of these affairs cannot be found
minds as impressionable as those that
have been gathered in Whittier? And if
crime is sown by the press from prison
to reform school, where there is sup
posed to be some discipline, what may
be the effect of exploiting all the details
of the Durrant Dunham, Worden, Figel
and Plyler crimes? When will the pub
lie press and the patrons of the public
press learn that the mind is a very deli

Trouble between the drivers of ve-
hicles and the riders of bicycles is grow
ing in New York. 1t is complained that
drivers are adopting the practice of
driving behind wheelers rapidly, and if
they increase their speed to get out of
the way that the drivers increase theirs
also, and keep close behind them. OF
course, if a wheel slips or breaks in such
a case, the wheelman will be crushed
by the vehicle behind him. The wheel
men have appealed to the authorities
and they have taken sides with the BIZ
cyclists ON the ground that no driver has
a right to run upon and compel a Pc
destrian to hasten, nor yet another We
hicle, but if he wishes to pass either he
is required by reason and by law to turn
out and pass at safe distance. On
the 1st instant an Italian peddler ran
down a wheeler in New York and badly
injured the rider, though the latter was
doing all that could be done to get out
OF the way. An arrest has followed and
the case promises to be a precedent, es-
tablishing the rights Of all upon the
re ad. The same disposition to clip up
lively behind wheelers in this city has
lately been manifest, and there have

THE vINDICATION OF TIME.

Under the administration of Abraham
partment one of Americas greatest
statesmen, William H. Seward. 1t was
his policy that gave us Alaska by pur-
chase AT the time he was denounced
by the obstructionists right and left,
and the acquisition of the new territory
was declared to be opposed to the ira
safe policy.
Now comes the son of Mr.. Seward
who was associated closely with his
father in the State Department from
1861 to 1865, and with a clear and pa
triotic ring declares that his sire, If
alive to-day, would be as warmly in
favor of the annexation of Hawaii as
he was of the acquisition of Alaska.
He of all men knows what the thought,
purpose and aims of his father were
The son is for annexation, and in a
recent issue of the New York Tribune
he has set forth his views with remark
able force and lucidity.
Mr.. Seward realizes that Hawaii, a
small State, is weak and unable to
stand alone, and that the logic of his
tory and of wise policy points to the
United States imperatively to respond
affirmatively to its plea to be taken
under the wing of the greatest of re-
publics Hawaii offers to us first, and
it remains to be seen whether we will
turn her away to select a second friend.
If we decline this offer as certainly
as the sun rises, Hawaii will turn to
some other power, and our right to pro-
test and oppose will have been vacated.
The simple question is whether we
shall occupy Hawaii or permit some
other power to do so. President Nc
Kinley and his Cabinet have made an
affirmative reply to the application of
the island republic, and Mr.. F. w. Sew
ard speaking from the calm Of retire
ment and patriotic thought. declares
that the action of the administration
| should be confirmed
Mr.. Seward points out that precisely
the same wall was raised against the
acquisition of Louisiana, and the annex
alton of Florida; against the holding
of Oregon, and indeed against the TAX
| ing of California, while obloquy and
| abuse was heaped upon the head of
his illustrious father for adding Alas
ka to the National domain.
But time has vindicated the wisdom
and patriotism Of all those acquisitions.
and there lives no man to-day who
would undo them, or dare to say that
the acquisition has not been fruitful
of good to the Nation, enriching the
| Union, giving US necessary eXpanse Of
boundaries, and making US what we
are one of the greatest Powers of the
world.

been some very narrow escapes as a re-
suit. A buggy or wagon can take no
possible harm from a bicycle ridden
close behind it If there is collision it
is the eyclist who suffers in such case.
But it is a very different thing when a
horse is forced close to the rider of a
wheel, and no effort is made to turn out
and pass the rider. In many cases the
close approach renders the rider Of the
wheel nervous. and he or she is apt to
lose self control and control of the wheel.
There is no necessity for these things,
certainly not in Sacramento where the
roads and streets are unusually broad
and are rarely crowded and where there
is always ample room TO turn aside and
pass. The law requires this and for
bids anyone running or driving so close
up to wheel as to endanger its rider in
case of a slip Of the tire, or in case the
rider does not hear the approach of the
driven horse. Thursday night in the

To those who read between the lines
of German everyday history the res
ignation of Baron Bieberstein from the
German Cabinet and the post of For
eign Secretary, is due to no incapaclty
on the part of that accomplished
statesman, as Emperor William has
caused to be annonced. On the co1l-
trary, the Baron is vigorous and clear
headed enough for all present needs of
Germany The truth is the sturdy old
politician and shrewd diplomat has
more affection for his fellow coun-
trymen than for his Emperor.
He has dared to believe that
German subjects have some rights
that do not rise in and de-
pend upon the Kaiser and his whims.
This was made evident when he turned
placing all assemblies, conventions and
gathered bodies under absolute subjec-
ton to the police authorities. He
warmly espoused the cause of the peo-
PIE against the O1tiCSIS Oh lHe y,
when the latter claimed to be exempt
from punishment for kicking and in
sulting one of the former. He had the
courage to say that he deemed it very
unwise to make it an offense punish
able under the law for a German to
criticise the Emperor in private con-
versaton. He declined to say, when
requested to advance an opinion, that
all the nations of the earth should
bow in the dust if the Emperor's hat
should be elevated before them. He
even went so far as to warn his I'm
perial Vanity that his efforts to com
mand the worship of all men of all
nations was action of the kind that re-
| lates to insanity and stupidity. Really
it was time for Bieberstein to resign.
He belongs on this side Of the big
