A TRUE CALIFORNIA PAGEANT.

D EYQND all controversy the grand parade of ! yesterday was thoroughly and ideally Califor-
 man. It represented our civic life our indus tries our military and naval power our schools our artisuc taste our history youth and age manhood ana womanhood, our diversity of race and nation anty, our cosmopolltansm and our localism. It was varied brilliant beautiful, surpassing by far any other procession ever seen the Pacific Coast and rival1ng in many of its features the most notable street pageants of the great capitals of the East and Europe.
 he procession was long, but magnitude was the least striking Of its many notable features To the stranger who looked upon 1t the most impressive characteristic must have been the diversity of the parts that made 1t up Types of all races of the earth from the Occdent to the Orient from the young Californian of the public schools to the China1nan passed Tn review before the crowds that had assem- bled to do honor to the Golden Jubilee of State settled and peopled by and women of all nations In any other city such procession would be noted as distinctly cosmopolitan parade but here it was not cosmopolitan. It simply pageant of Cali fcrnia.
 In procession where each section was in its va riety so excellent 1t IS somewhat nvidous to select any tor specal notice, nevertheless public commend ation IS due to the splendid showing made by the children of the schools and by the societies from distant parts of the State whose members came in genuine State patriotism to assist in making glorious the celebration of the Californian Jubilee
 The school children carried themselves through the long march with vigor of step and perfection of discipline that attest the stamina of the coming Californian and the worth of the t aiming he is re- ceiving With such youth in the jubilee of yester- day we may be sure the ubee of the future will be in safe hands
 To the members of visiting organizations who took part in the parade San Francisco owes the freedom of the city. They helped to make the holiday one that will add to the prestige of the community and heighten its credit abroad. Without their aid the success of the procession would have fallen far short of the brilliant triumph it was It is gratifying that this fact was generally recognized by throngs on the streets yesterday and that cheers for the visitors accompanied them throughout nearly the whole line of march.
 After the grand result of the parade it is hardly likely there will be disappointment any part of the entertainments provided to fill up the week and meet the jubilee with the opening of the Mining Fair The public is well assured that the management of the celebration is in the hands of men of taste talent and energy They have attested their ability to conduct jubilee and justly merit the congratu- lations they will receive from all sides

A CHANGED BOODLER.

UST now the Mission street Booder is greatly o concerned about the administration of the law
 Tn the local criminal courts This concern is interesting because the Boodler until recently has been in favor of putting the screws upon everybody detected violating the provisions of the Penal Code At times, indeed, 1t has been clamorous upon the subject and when engaged in enforcing the law it has not hesitated frequently to advise the employ ment of special counsel assist the elected prose outing officers, well often to darkly threaten application of vigilance committee methods for the punishment of certain classes of crime
 Now it says the employment of special counsel for the prosecution of oenses against the law is priv- lege that should be jeaousy guarded" The danger of personal feelings being introduced into such pros cautions, in its opinion, very great It is the duty of the public prosecutor, the Booder thinks to be just and fair and refrain from resorting to those devious, doubtful methods which lawyers so often employ to win lawsuits either by hook or crook" In other words, the Boodler believes the crin- inal law should be administered without passion or prejudice and upon exactly contrary theory to that which, in pursuit of advertising" contracts. it has for years advocated administering it.
 We need scarcely add that the Boodlers wonderful revulson of sentiment is attributable to the fact that of its editors has fallen into the clutches of the law and is soon to grace the dock of criminal de partment of the Superior Court.
 Its aversion to the employment of special counsel arises from the additional fact that in this case an attorney has been employed that its editor gets what he has been demanding so long for others namely, unaduterated justice. But evidently the Boodler does not want justice for its editors What 1t wants is justice for its enemies The employment of special counsel is all right except when they are employed to bring it to book for libel and slander
 There is old saying that it is always material whose OK is gored. So long the Boodler in its anxious search for advertising" contracts was per mitted to gore the of everybody, the criminal law could not be administered too vigorously for it Now that its cattle being tossed it enter tans altogether different opinion Nothing is too slpshod and loose in the prosecution of crime to suit it. But perhaps the Boodler Is afraid of the ail If it IS, it is coward Bullies are naturally towards and does not surprise that this journalistic bully fears lest 1t may have to be edited from prison house. In any event, however 1t is quite plain that the Boodler is no martyr 1T half it says about its Spartan virtue true, it would defend its pryi- lege to procure advertising" contracts by libel and islander with its very life.

half-dozen capacious colliers pro- tected by cruisers.
 General Schofeld should make up his mind to talk on matters military, and let naval affairs alone. That is, until he can learn more about them than he knows now. He but makes the whole nation ridiculous when he talks of the Hawaiian Islands being of value to watch the Western entrance to the proposed Nicaraguan canal. He makes the nation ridiculous because he should be the exponent of our best strategical ability, and that utterance of his is not calculated to show that we have even a particle of it in our army. Still we have and a mighty big lot, too. The Eastern entrance to that canal must be protected too, it is pointed out to the gallant gentleman, and the St. Paul rocks Con the equatorial line) might be annexed for the purpose!
 Have no lessons been taught to lands men-to military men-by recent naval maneuvers? Is the "Vesuvius" incl dent already forgotten? Opposed by larger fleet than we could possibly spare in troublous times to protect the entrance to any single harbor or canal the little dynamite cruiser found her way past a half dozen of the best ships we have. Each ship knew what was to be expected too. And our naval officers are as highly trained as any of the world. The ships were extended, l be- lieve, eight miles, and with this expert ment fresh in most minds General Schofield sees the possibility of protect ing canal entrance from a position thousands of miles away! What would he think of the colonel of a regiment Who, bent on the protection of San francisco, were to suggest that 1t would be advisable to deploy half his men in the Yuma desert? Yet the one proposal IS as strategically sensible as the other.
 It is proper to speak of this soldier with respect, and for aught I know to the contrary his strategical ideas gen. erally may be excellent; with reference to the Hawaiian matter I regret to have to admit that they not only do not inn press, but they are so clearly weak that they are not worthy the distinguished position he holds
 One of our best known soldiers has seen nit to publish his opinion on the Dreyfus scandal. It is a pity that he was weak enough to give way to the temptation. The French nation has no wish to punish Captain Dreyfus for a crime he did not commit, and that one prominent American should by impli- cation say that he believes the contrary to be true is painful. We are too much given to interfering with the affairs of other powers. Competent judges found Dreyfus guilty of treason on evidence that quite satisfied them. It is then more than presumable that he was. The punishment meted out to him is surely none too great for the crime charged. He who will attempt to betray his nation has no right to mercy of any sort To my mind he deserves no con slderation. He is unworthy farther thought.
