PARIS, June 2o.-On instructions Of Min
lister of Marine Lockroy, Vice Admiral
Cavalier de Cuvurville has transferred his
command TO Rear Admiral Mallarme. This
measure is in consequence of letter which
De Cuvurville wrote to a member OF the

inadequacy OF the national defense.
The letter was an allusion TO The con-
stant feud existing between the ministry OF
war and marine and the colonies" This feud
was described as a very real grievance,
tending TO paralyze the national defense.
The vice admiral had intended 10 retire at
an early date. He now protests that ne

Lockroy. who saw no objection in princi-
PIE TO its publication. The summary dis
missal OF an officer of such high rank has
caused a WIDESPREAD sensation.

One Of Bryan's neglected men who
wander from place to place in this
State with no one caring for them, was
trundled out of a vacant car in Los
Angeles the other night as a hummer,
and at the police station panned out of
his breeches something in the neigh
borhood of $1,000 cash. All this chat
ter about men wandering from place to
place with no one thinking about them
is bosh. Of course ever since Cain was
driven into the wilderness up to this
hour there have been men, and there
always will be men who roam from
place to place with none to think of
them. But 1t is no special reproach to
civilization. In some cases honest mer-
1t is down and due deserving suffers.
But is that any reason for saying that
we will never develop this great State,
and its best manhood, and it's highest
possibilities, until every tramp of every
condition in the State is carefully taxi
en- up and coaxed to decency, cleanli-
ness and industry? That is the sug-
gestion inferred from Mr.. Bryan's bru-
tai assault upon California, just that
and nothing more, gloss it as any may
with generalities about humanity. or
course there are many" as he saws.
who do not think enough about their
duty to their fellow men. But be-
cause there are many such, is that a
reason for declaring that we will not
develop our State along right lines un-
til the time comes when there is not
even one who is neglectful of his fell
low? The millennial dawn is a long
way off as yet: but men will continue
to progress and States to grow, and
nations to expand while they wait for

REBELLION IN A STATE SCHOOL.

There comes by wire a report of a
most astounding condition of affairs in
the State Normal School at San Jose.
1t is said that open rebellion has raised
its head and that the pupils threaten
a general strike or walk out. This is
because, in the Judgment of the pupils
and seven-tenths of them are young
women, sad to say-the state has not
administered the institution to suit
these pretentious misses.
The State through it's official agencies
charged with that duty, selected a cer-
tain man for Principal of the institu-
ton. Charges of unfitness and in
compentency were made against him
They were duly investigated by the
state authority, found to be INSULT
elent and the selected PRINCIPAL was
installed. Thereupon, 1t is said. the re-
bellious spirit among the pupils began
TO stir them to action, and, now. on
the ground that the teacher cannot
preserve order among and command
respect from them, he has been treated

OF the pupils when Immediately under
his direction, as at general assembly.

DEWEY AND NEW YORK.

Admiral Dewey yesterday assuredly
was the Pride of the River and the
joy Of the harbor at New York. There
can be no doubt about the sincerity Of
the welcome he is having and no one
can doubt that the nation seconds it
cordially. New York is making neat
thing in money out of the affair, say
the sneerers; but how could we have
such welcoming assemblage and
some one not profit by the necessary
expenditure7 1t would be a very high
and ethereal, very angelic and mirac-
ulous condition to have the millions
gather in the chief of our cities and
welcome the American Admiral with.
out themselves growing hungry or their
eyelids dropping in sleep.
They who visit great cities must be
housed, bedded and fed, and they must
pay for it. We deprecate the slurs
cast at New York therefore, for being
a great city and for affording the peo-
pie the opportunity they are now i'm
proving. Fact is, we are glad that
there is q city brave enough, and big
enough, and rich enough to undertake
and carry out the mighty task New
York is now engaged in. There is no
report of extortion, not hint that the
the great crowd present within their
gates to wiring the purses of their
guests. On the contrary the local
press Of that city has for weeks in
formed us Of much detail and atten-
ton being given to provision for the
every economic housing and feeding of
the visitors of to-day and tomorrow.
No, it is all right so far as New
York is concerned. and If her shop
keepers and landlords turn a pretty
penny in consequence, that, too, is all
right. The great thing, the overshad-
owing thing is the reception of the Ad-
miral, the manner in which it is car
ried on and the success which attends
the ceremonial of honoring him by the
chief city OF the nation New York
began we'll on Thursday. She con-
tinued in success yesterday. We have
every confidence that she will cover
herself with glory to-day. We are
proud Of the great metropolis. 1t was
indeed fitting that it should have the
honor it now enjoys. None other could
have worn it so gracefully.

probably intended as a still-born joke,
appeared in the newspaper dispatches a
few days since saying in effect that
Parisians- hated to see foreigners in
their city. What the summer visitor is to
Santa Cruz; what tuberculously inclined
people are to Los Angeles and Southern
California, even so is the foreign tourist
to gay "Paree." In fact a large per-
centage of it's citizens live upon the
travelling public; bleeding them cop
iously. legitimately and otherwise. in
order that they may enjoy life and
drink absinthe. It is not forgotten what
a dismal wall went up from the shop
keepers of Paris during the Spanish
war because American tourists re-
Trained from visiting their town on ac-
count of the very evident sympathy or
France for it's southern neighbor. And
the boast of the French press that they
can make the Paris Fair a success with
or without foreign help or attendance,
is the effervescence of anger rather
than the result of ordinary reasoning.
WORK AND SUPPLY.
Ukiah Republican Press: The bulletin
Of the New York Bureau of Labor Stat
istics. just issued, shows that the num-
ber of men out of work is remarkably
small, and growing less. In the trades
it is hardly possible that there should
not be a few men out of work. There
may be surplus of labor in one trade,
while in others the demand for skilled
workmen exceeds the supply. But there
has not been a summer since 1892 in
which the people were so fully en-
ployed at good wages. The calamity
howler has but little in the labor situa-
tion out of which to make political cap
ital.
THE SIBERIAN ROAD.
Alameda Argus: There has been a
great deal published about the Siberian
railroad. This prodigious undertaking
has been represented as likely to divert
commerce from well-beaten world
paths; as being sure to relocate the
granaries of bread-eating peoples, and
as threatening the stability of dynas,
ties and governments when completed,
1t is also represented to be an enter,
prise whose engineering triumphs were
a worlds wonder, and whose financing
was scarcely problem to the mighty
government of the Car. Now, however
there are premonitions of trouble. Scan
dals of the class of those thar grew
out Of the Panama Canal are said to
impend, and the successes and results
so rosily predicted are now not so un-
questioned The enterprise languishes
for the reason that so many others
have met hard problems-because it is
built through such great stretches OF
unproductive country. The stories SC
often related of how the Siberian
steppes are to rival the temperate
plains of North America in the pro-
duction of wheat are no doubt just as
reliable as other stories concerning this
enterprise.

one sentence of rebuke he spoke Vi
them as a mob He may have had rea-
son to do so, it may have been excess
of rebuke. However that may be, the
rebellious pupils, say the dispatch, now
threaten to renew the scenes of dis
order which have been frequent in the
school, and to walk out.
In the name of order, law and COM
mon regard for lawful authority let
them walk out The Normal School is
maintained by the State at heavy cost
for the sole benefit of these pupils, to
fit them for the lofty duty of teaching
in the schools of the land, to equip
them for task that is second to no
other in its Importance and its bear
ing upon the children of the common
schools of California
The truth is that every one of the
rebellious and disorderly pupils-not
one of them is a chicken-they are wo-
men in the main of such age as TO
know better-should be expelled and
forever barred from re-entry into any
Normal School of the State, of which,
by the way, we have fifty per cent. too
many.
No matter what the complaints Of
the pupils, no matter what their judg-
ment is as to the competency and eff
cheney of the Principal, their one duty
is to obey or quit the school. They well
know that there are inviting, proper
avenues for them to walk in If they
wish to make complaint. They should
lay it before the proper authority and
it will receive attention, doubtless. But
to even concede that is too much.
When pupils in a State school hold in
surgent meetings, draw up resolutions
of censure against teachers, and so
conduct themselves in school assem-
blies as to give them excuse for say
ing that the teacher in charge cannot
preserve order, they should be given
their walking papers without any hesl
tation whatever. IF there are wrongs
to be righted, if discipline is too lax,
if incompentency rules, if disorder pre-
walls because Of incapacity to suppress
it, there are proper methods of secur
ing reforms.
In this Normal School trouble we see
reflected the effects of the teachings
of lawlessness which have had political
Endorsement, journalistic approval and
community acquiesence in other lines
Of activity. When the Government is
openly denounced and lampooned from
rostrum, press and political platforms
for asserting its power to preserve
order and protect life and property in a
State under constitutional guarantees,
shall we express surprise that pupils in
a public school are moved by such ex-
amples to take the law into their own
hands?
In this instance society is reaping as
it has sown. But it is full time to call
a halt and put down insubordination in
the Normal School with as swift and
strong a hand as was put forth in the
case Of the students of the State Uni
versity some time ago. If there is any
compromise with disorder, rebellion,
impudence and presumptious preten-
sion in the Normal School at San Jose,
we may expect to find kindergartners
debating to their teachers, children in
the common schools directing Boards
of Education and pupils in high schools
threatening to strike" against Super
intendents of instruction.

two thirds of the whole number was
