NOW GIVE US RUEF's STORY.

Now let us have from the San Francisco Bull
letin the full story which it promised Abe Ruef
would tell through its columns as soon as the re-
naming indictments against him were dismissed.
Let us have it in all its Details with the names OF
all those who. according to Ruef, helped him to
sell out the city of his birth.
The Bulletin says it will take up the story
again Let us remind it that it promised com
pete revelation. and the public will expect it to
make good.
The appellate court of the first district has
peremptorily ordered the dismissal of the counts
and Superior Judge Dunno must obey. The only
obstacle which the Bulletin recognized will be re-
moved Immediately, for the matter will come up
before Judge Dunno next Saturday and he Will
probably comply with the mandate of the higher
tribunal at that time Without further Interrupt
ton the Bulletin should be able to go on with
publication of the sensational story forecasted IN
the prologue and first installment
The Bulletin announced that all depended on
the dismissal Of the indictments 1t as much as
told its readers that the details of bribery and
political debauchery would be suppressed until
Ruef could be assured that all that remained be
tween him and freedom the reluctance OF the
prison board to parole him. Now the condition
has been complied with and it is up to the Bull
letn to see that nothing is left untold that no
man is spared-Sacramento Union

TOO EAGER TO SWAT THE Ply.

The early fly catches the swat This Is as it
should be for each of the pioneers Of the sue
ceedng seasons becomes, IN the course of a few
weeks the ancestor of many millions of his pes
tiferous kind This fact being generally reeog-
nized in connection with the proofs which have
been given to the fy's disease-carrying propensi-
ties as well as his capacity for becoming MUS
ance in many ways it is to be expected that peo-
pie and municipal governments everywhere shall
do all that reasonably may be done to make the
early swatting effective as possible.
The method adopted by Cleveland, Ohio, how
ever. appears to be open to serious objections,
which may have been discovered by the authori-
ties in that city ere this Cleveland, the fly
season approached, put a bounty of 10 cents
hundred ON the perncious insects. The officials
did not propose to accept scalps OF the enemy IN
proof of death as was done in regard to noun
tain lions in California with weird results one
season, but demanded the delivery of full hun
bred reasonably complete corpses for each dime
dispersed to those electing to pursue ly-swattng
as remunerative avOcation.
Now unless sticky hypaper be barred in fly
catching for profit the officials must be prepared
to accept gummy masses OF slain flies and
pay bounty on them There would be tempta-
ton to adulterae such lots with currants, if eur.
rants should happen to be cheap, or something of
that kind
The real danger, in the matter of leading
persons of slack morals into grieviOus temptation,
the fly The noxious insects not only willing
but eager to increase and multiply under condi
tions only mildly favorable They will breed
readily in captivity, if not too closely confined
These facts present possibilities too aluring to be
overlooked by persons of evil purpose if the
payment of a bounty early flies is to become
an annual custom in Cleveland. The raising OF
flies for the bounty might become far more
profitable enterprise than the raising of early
peas for market.
The British government in India once put q

WOULD RESCUE THE LANGUAGE.

Every now and then the English language is
diagnosed and found to be in bad way the
result of careless abuse. Then follows wave OF
remorse and the swearing of resolutions never to
manhandle the mother tongue again. The per-
sons who are suffering from the most poignant
remorse of late are the young ladies OF Wellesley
college, who, in convention assembled, have sol
EMMY resolved never again to insult the English
language or to wound its feelings by wantonly
and openly using such expressions My dear"
and "Oh piffe" They have also decided that
the continued use of pill and peanut" as ex-
pressons of contempt instead OF names for the
useful and ornamental objects for which they
stand, is fastening the finish OF the language IN
which the Bard of Avon wrote.
Similar resolutions have been made by others,
but they did not seem to stick. 1t is to be hoped
that the Wellesley girls will remain firm and that
their example will be emulated. But if Wellesley
college alone decides to speak English, indebted
with piffes" and misapplications of pills and
peanuts, the graduates of that college Will have
to take post graduate course in English as she
is spoke before they will be able to talk to the
folks outside of college
The English language has been slugged across
the ropes so hard that the efforts of the Welles
ley college girls will hardly cause it to bat an
eyelash 1t is groggy and beaten to FRAGILE al
ready, and the inquest might be more timely thar
an investigation SO rapidly is the mother tongue
being changed and adapted that the next genera
ton will regard the adapted English OF th'
present generation with the same curiosity witt
which this one regards the English of Chaucer
1t is noble and praiseworthy resolution
which the Wellesley college girls have made blu
the English language seems to have lost 1T goat
The girls of Wellesley should not be stepped to-
heavily in remorse, for they may be assured tina
their gentle assaults upon the language have no
done it any great harm.

SENATORS BY DIRECT VOTE.

Nothing could be more nearly certain than
that the constitutional amendment providing for
the direct election of United States senators will
be promptly ratified by the state legislatures. This
is reform for which the country has long been
waiting and it will be made the law of the land
with the least possible delay.
In no way will the political integrity Of the
states suffer from the popular election of sena-
tors The change will not interfere with states
rights as those who have opposed it have argued
1t will. on the other hand. give the people of the
States the opportunity to express themselves IN
the upper branch of the national legislature and
will relieve them of the necessity of leaving their
representation to the caprice and vacillation of
state Legislators.
The amendment provides for the election OF
senators with the people voting as freely as they
do for governors When il will have been ratified
by the legislatures Of threefourhs Of the states,
the purchase Of seats in the United States senate
will become a thing Of the past.
In the political excitement of the day, this
triumph for popular government has almost es-
eaped notice Evidently the people must have
time to realize that they have virtually won that
for which they have been fighting for twenty
years
