ry have interpreted this law in Ian

try have interpreted this law in lam
guage as follows:
Any assistance given to one known to
be felon in order to hinder his appre-
hension, trial or punishment is suffl-
cient to make a man an accessory after
the fact.
But recurring to the words of the
statute: "All persons who, after fuli
knowledge that felony has been COM
mitted, conceal it from the magistrate,
are accessories In this the law erects
a standard of good citizenship. The en-
tire social compact is self-defenselVe.
The command Thou shalt not steal
has it's impulse and motive in self-de-
fense, for if that be the rule among men
then no one will steal from an individual
member of society.
To conceal a crime is to promote its
perpetration, and whoever conceals
crime is a full participant in all the
Nervousness of the species of criminal
ity concealed When a telegraph COM
pany therefore attempts to export the
evidence which would detect train rob-
berS incendiaries, murderers, horse
thieves, bribers, corrupted public offl-
GERS, or any other crimes against socl-
ETY., it becomes criminal not only by
every accepted standard of ethics, but
by the provisions of the law of the
State. When the law declares that
whoever. with knowledge that felony
has been committed, conceals it from
the magistrate" is an accessory, 1t
means just what it says; or that II is
a duty of good citizenship that each
citizen shall aid in the suppression or
crime by promoting its detection and
punishment.
To permit any institution which en-
joys the protection of the law to protect
criminals is not to be thought Of
There has been some loose talk to the
effect that the committee of the Assem-
bly, which arrested the box containing
evidence of crime sought to be exported
from the State in the interest OF CRIME
itself will be prosecuted. We think not.
There is a liability of prosecution IN a
wholly different direction. The attempt
to export the evidence that felony mas
been committed is of itself felony be-
cause by declaration of law, "one VINO
attempts to conceal from a magistrate
a crime or harbors or protects any per-
son who has committed a crime, or at
tempts to hinder the apprehension, tflal
or punishment of such person, is an ac-
cessory,'' and the statutes OF California

said Uncle Cephes, but they amt in it

Uncle Cephas addressed himself to a
member of the Boston Poultry Associa-
tion that he had overheard talking To
the proprietor of a store in Merchants
row about the display of incubators at
the coming poultry show in Mechanics
building. Being asked to explain him
self by Boston Herald" man who was
present, he took a fresh quid from a
huge plug of navy" and expounded:

hvan rather doubts if it did have any

thing how much Bob bled, SO long as he

what a touch of tender feeling will

tender touch at Carson on the 18th.
There is bit of philosophic advice
Mr.. Sullivan gives us in his criticism
about women, that it may be we'll for
men to heed. "They all like fighters"
he SAYS: they think more of them
than of other men, because if men did
not fight we should all be slaves, and
the English would rule over us" This
is worth considering, and it is respect
as an offset to Frances E. Wizards
protest against the exhibition of the
veriscope pictures of the fight at Car
son. If freedom from thralldom by the
English is dependent upon the fight
ing spirit as encouraged at the ringside
by the Sullivans, Fitzsimmons and
Corbetts and Rose Fitz's, then Miss
Wizards petition had better be put un
der the executive mahogany along with
Mr.. McKinley's feet.

to any one before. But Sullivan takes
the edge off bit, so far as this case is
concerned, by remarking, sotto voce, so
to speak, that after all he has heard
that Fitzsimmons has applied for let
ters of naturalization, if indeed, he has
not already been naturaliZed in New
ark; in this Mr.. Sullivan ignores the
tradition that naturalization of that
order don't co. since it has been held
that New Jersey is q foreign country;
a belief in which we do not share
However, the great value of the Sui
livan account Of the fight is in its con-
tribution to chivalric history and fis-
tic philosophy; in the revelation it
makes concerning the place of woman
at the ringside, and finally in the en-
phasis it puts upon the truth Of which

WAR AND HEARTS,

When war opens hearts break. What
miserable, dreadful thing it always
is, to be sure. But here is something
as a side light on war or threat of
war, that is more than cruel, and makes
free men who love their wives and
children, and whose hopes are bound
up in their families, gather in the lips
to curse monarchy and the very shadow
of it..
The Crown Prince of Greece, Constan-
tine, is a young man of %, amiable, cor
rect in habit, manly and we'll loved. In
1899 Constantine married Sophia of
Prussia, the sister of the present EN-
peror Z; of Germany. Constantine's
grandfather is the King of Denmark, his
wife's grandmother is the Queen of
England. The Princess of Wales and
the Dowager Czarina are his aunts
To this young couple three lovely
children have been born. Husband
and wife are devoted to each other they
love their children passionately and are
bringing them up very sensibly, by the
way. Now comes the news that in the
Greek Churches in Constantinople. and
in Greece too, the Patriarchs and
Greek Popes are preaching the necess-
ity of Constantine and Sophia being di-
vOrced because forsooth the wifes
brother is unfriendly to the nation of
the husband.
The priests claim that to continue the
union ''can only bring misfortune" be-
outs with the King of Greece. 1t seems
to make no difference that these young
people are satisfied with each other;
that they are attached by love as we'll
as respect, and that a triple bond of
parentage holds them firmly. No, po-
litical retaliation demands that the
heart of the poor Princess shall be
crushed, and the life of Constantine
wrecked and that their children shall be
orphaned because some meddling
priests think it is necessary in order to
ItDukc lIlc EiHDStOI VI ISIlildIy anu
ward off misfortune.
We have not the faintest idea that
Constantine is going to be such an ass
as to put away his sweet young wife
and her children because political con-
siderations demand it. If he is half
the man we take him to be, he will pack
his grip, tuck his wife and babies under
his arm and step over to steady old
Denmark where King Christian always
has a warm corner for his grandchil
dren, and his great grandchildren like
WISE Neither do we think that the
King of Greece is going to listen to these
pestiferous priests and order his son to
cast off gentle Sophia and her trio of
young hopes. He is quite too sensible
man to make such a consummate fool of
himself.
All the same the priests are chatter
ing at the affairs and mumblng over
the consecrated cups, and the Greeks
are listening to them and knitting their
brows, for unhappily neither the King,
the Queen, the Crown Prince nor his
wife are Greeks.

journalism in San Francisco is on
the country constantly seeking write
ups. The journals Of San Francisco
seldom say anything favorable to the
advantages of any portion of the State
without being paid as write-up. We
are in possession of vast range Of facts
on this subject, which justifes us in the
statement that San Francisco journal
ism does nothing in the interior with
out pay.
One journal in that city issued an edi-
ton relating to irrigation when the
Wright law went into operation. 1t as

Of California $4,000. One journal in
san Francisco recently opposed the Act

the Sacramento River. 1t could have
been induced to favor that bill for So,
900. We make this statement without
fear of contradiction, or fear of any con-
troversy with any San Francisco news
paper on the subject. We know of an
instance where journal printed one
page relating to the town of Red Bluff
and was paid 81 500 for that page. We
win give a reward of SO for each in

lot with the people of that thriving viii
lage. The article was never heard of
afterward If the people had spent that
81 900 with their own papers, they
would have shown very much higher
degree Of common sense.
+ But these are not isolated instances.
We are in possession of facts relating
to fifty such cases. The gentlemen of
the carnival will perhaps experience a
rude awakening when they are told, as
they have been by the Santa Cruz
Sentinel that the fiestas they have
seen promoted in the columns of san
Francisco journals We're induced only by
payment on the part of the fiesta man
