POOR RICHARD'S DAILY SERMON
FRIDAY—To lengthen thy life lessen thy
meals.
Take counsel in wine, but resolve afterwards
in water.
Many estates are spent in the gettng,
Since women for tea forsook spinning and
knitting,
POLITICIANS ARE DISTURBED
A few months ago Republican leaders
were confident tnat in 18I1U their party
would win the election "hands down,"
as is a saying. Recent indications are
such as to give the alarm, and they al
ready begin to doubt as to the result.
The uncertainty arises from the growth
of bimetallic sentiment among the rank
and file of tbe Republican party. The
aspirants tor the presidential nomination
begin to Mag in their exertions, for the
reason that the prize is not as ent icing as
it lias been. The tariff, which they ex
pected tj make the dominant issue, is
overshadowed by the money question,
and the evidence that a large class of
Republicans believe in postponing the
former and forcing the latter to the front
is emabrrassing in the extreme.
While the protective sentiment is still
strong, yet the thiiiKing men of the party
are fast coming to the belief that there is
no use in attempting to enlarge indus
tries so long as there is an Insufficient
supply of money to carry on what
bust,less we now have. The McKiniey
law. admitting for the sake of argument
that it was a wise one, fell Hat for the
want of money to put it into successful op
eration. Tinkering with the tariff merely
will not produce relief to the country.
That there will be a split of serious mag
nitude in the Republican party seems in
evitable.
The same differences exist in the Hemo
eraiic party, and its leaders are disturbed
over the possibilities of disintegration.
To both the old parties the silver ques
tion is tha ghost that will not down.
Whether before the next election there
will be some solution that will remove
this bone of contention is a subject on
which much anxiety is felt. Neither
party will have full possession of the gov
ernment during the next session of con
gress, the only session which can possibly
remove the rugged money issue before the
people again express themselves at the
polls. The house, being Republican, is
probably mononietallist, and it is cbrtaiu
that the senate is binietallist. The views
of tiie president are well known, and it
docs not seem probable that any financial
measure will secure tho approval of all
branches of the law-making power.
Vs now appears, differences, are on sec
tional lines. The strongest sentiment for
silver coinage is in the south and west.
If the issue is not removed or essentially
modified the contest will be between these
sections and the northeast, between tbe
producing and capital sections. A sec
tional contest should always be avoided if
possible, for it means discriminating leg
islation. Tariff legislation has neen more
or less discriminating, and at times has
caused estrangement of the sections.
It is a pity that there cannot bo con
currence on some measure that will give
general satisfaction. The silver men
avow themselves as inexorably 'opposed
to compromise. They present an ulti
matum from which they aver their pur
pose not to recede, and there is no likeli
hood that the other side will accept
that ultimatum. There is but a single
ray of hope that the money question
will bo removed from next year's con
test, and it is that lliere may be an in
ternational oonfeience that will adopt
silver in some form as an international
medium of exchange. Should that be
done the money question will not lie en
tirely solved) though it will be a long
step in that direction.
The question of supplying currency,
whether directly by the treasury de
partment or through (he national banks,
will stili remain. The silverites generally
favor the former method and would
have the national banks deprived of the
power to issue notes. They would have
papet money redeemable In gold or silver
coin at the option of the government.
Whatever may happen touching the
money question it seems probable that
the Republicans will be unable to suc
cessfully apply the strategy of bringing
the tariff question to the front. The
country has become wearied of that is
sue and there is a willingness that it shall
remain at rest for a time at least. In
the meantime the people will think and
discuss, and it is to be hoped that they
will reach a conclusion that will redound
to the common welfare.
JLST FOR BUNCOMBE
Senator Cullorrj, with the valor that al
ways distinguishes a man whose age, con
dition or official station exempts Mm
from the disagreeable necessity of "going
to the front," elevates his sanatoria l voice
and -calls loudly, for war. This relic of
Republican Bourbon politics knows that
with the level-beaded statesman now rep
resenting whatever interest the United
States may have in this Nicaraguan
trouble, there is not the least danger of
war on account of the mere effort of one
nation to collect an indemnity from an
other. If the senator had resting upon
him the responsibility of the state de
partment he would not be so reckless
about the making of widows and orphans.
He is talking like the mineralized senator
from Nevada, to tickle the cars of the peo
ple who mistake bullyragging ami inter
meddling for patriotism.
TAKING A fIE AN ADVANTAGE
The Oregonian says that the English
government, never attempts to bully
great nations. Possibly. But the
Central American states do attempt
to bully great nations; they make
their very weakness the shelter for
their impertinence. England is as good
a paddle with which to warm their hides
as any otaer.—Sacramento Record-Union,
Rep.
That is just about the measure of the
case. If this country were once to admit
the principle that every time an old-world
power attemptel to collect debt or in
demnity from one of the Central or South
American "semi-annual governments,"
we would feel bound to interfere and re
sist the effort to the point of war, there
would be a saturnalia of repudiation on
the part of these irrepressible and irre
sponsible sovereignties.
As was to be expected the school bonds
have carried. If the issue thus authorized
is shrewdly handled, the bonds should be
placed to advantage; capital is eagerly
seeking investment now, and interest has
never been so low as at present. With a
judicious and honest expenditure of the
proceeds the school facilities of the city
can be improved to the degree required
by the increasing population of Eos An
geles.
THE USE OF PHOSPHATE
Phosphate is one of the great rcjuvon
ators of tiie soil, fspecially that of the ce
real-producing lands. It is therefore an
exceptionally valuable agent in cur agri
cultural development, it is gratifying to
note that the I'nited (States has become
ono of the leading phosphate producing
countries. The total production of the
country last year was 1.550,000 tons. The
deposits are chiefly in Noitli and South
Carolina and Florida, and tbey bear the
appearance of being almost inexhausti
ble, in those states where tho land has
been cultivated for several generations an
enormous quantity is used. Georgia lias
Consumed more than 280.000 tons; South
Carolina, 200.000 tons; New York, 90,000
tons and Pennsylvania over 150,000 tons.
With ihe growing need for the commod
ity it is evident that before long a phos
phate mine will rank almost with a gold
mine.
The hazing ( reported in yesterday's
Herald is said to be the lirst affair of tbe
kind tbat ever occurred at the South
ern California university, and it is to be
hoped that it will be tlio last. It is hard
LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, MAY" 3, 1893.
to determine whether the thing called
hazing issignificant of idiocy or savagery
in the perpetrators.
AMUSEMENTS
The Los Angeles Theater.—The Coun
try Sport is all that it is cracked up to be.
and the jokes—they're cracked, too some
of them are only glaze-cracked, otliors
are cracked wide open from constant use.
It s all a joke, a succession of jokes going
to make up one big joke, anM it takes
Pater Dalley to crack a joke. Last night
a Los Angeles audience saw Peter Dai ley
in A Country Sport for the first time- and
went wild. The play was built for fun
nothing else but fun. and Peter Dalley
was buiU for the play, lie was assisted
by May Irwin, who took the part of the
hammer—to crack the jokes with. There's
the faintest shadow of a plot running
through the play, but it does not count,
it's merely to hold it together while
IVter and May get on the stago and off
the jokes and sing a lot of clever songs
and dance a lot cf pleasing dances.
Meanwhile llarrc Morse. John Sparkes.
Andy Meek. Mamie Cilroy and Cissy
Buckley haven't been idle. They're in it
to help the fun. Seriously it was—but
this is no time for seriousness—it was
great: ami the two more nights of it arc
pretty certain to sec crowded houses, for
it's funny, funny, funny. a
* «r -Cr
Orpheum—A good bill is on at the Orph
eum. and it goes without saying that the
houses are big. There is one team on the
programme, Mazuz and Abbacco, who
give a performance that is alone worth
gong to see, Mazuz, who is a full-blooded
Arabian, is a marvel of strength and agil
ity, aud bis native tricks arc sensational
and novel. Tonight is society night at
I lie Orpheum. Los Angeles' swelldom
having for some reason chosen Friday
night to visit the house, and it is now the
fashionable evening for Vaudeville.
THE PRESS ON NICARAGUA
Riverside Enterprise: It seems prob
able that the Nicaragua trouble may be
speedily settled—a result not to be antici
pated had President Clevelan 1 pursued
the hot-headed, jingo policy which his
opponents kindly mapped out for him.
Pasadena News: The attitude of <ireat
Britain in the Nicaragua question has
created the greatest furore of the decade
and given the jingoes an opportunity to
shout for liberty In high and discordant
keys. It is an interesting study to note
the different positions taken by the press
and public men, and is a fact that those
who know the most about the Monroe doc
trine agree thai the attitude taken by I he
president is right. Governor Budd, with
enthusiasm of a youthful nature, gives
utterance to what was, let us hope, an
after-dinner composition.
San L>iego Union: Nicaragua means t>>
maintain her dignity even in the face of
defeat. It requires considerable back
bone to say thai England shall withdraw
troops and ships before any steps are
taken to pay the Indemnity demanded,
but this is What the little republic now in
sists upon, and it is more than likely
that Great Britain will submit, if the pay
ment is guaranteed.
New York World: Great Britain
lias at last got tired of waiting for
Nicaragua to pay tlio indemnity of
$7").IKK), and today *he custom house
at Corinto is to be seized and the Indem
nity is to be come from tlu commerce of
the port. It is. of course, not agreeable to
the people of the i'nited States tc witness
the spectacle of a European admiral block
ading a port of an American republic.
But the truth of the matter is that the
conduct of Nicaragua throughout lias been
indefensible, it looks as if she Pad de
liberately evaded an easy settlement for
the sake of drawing us into a quarrel
which docs not concern us and which is
exclusively one of her own making.
San Bernardino Sun : It is not so long
since an European power landed troops
on the American continent that the news
of the occupation of Corinto by the Brit
ish is naturally causing much excitement.
Cool consideration, however, does not
warrant the assumption that the dignity
of tbe United States is at present involved
or that the Monroe doctrine is in jeop
ardy. In a dispute between Nicaragua
and England the former treated a consu
lar official of ilreat Britain with disre
spect, nnmindful of the courtesy civilized
nations in peace accord the accredited
representatives of other powers. As in
demnity Great Britain required payment
of $75,(100.giving Nicaraguan certain time
within which to make it. That time ex
pired and an English man-of-war landed
soldiers at the chief port and took meas
ures to insure payment.
Kansas City Star: Great Britain, con
ceiving that she has been injured and m
suited in the person of her representa
tive, demands an indemnity of Nicara
gua. The question is between Great
Britlan and Nicaragua, and the relative
size of the parties lias nothing to do With
the morals of the case. No American
citizen is involved in the controversy, nor
is any American interest threatened, nor,
for all tbe "Monroe doctrine." is the
United States under any obligation to
protect or defend Nicaragua or any other
of the miserable semi-annual govern
ments of Central America. Tho United
States can defend its own honor, its own
territory and its now citizens, and is not
required on any principle of decency or
common sense so do more than that.
Sacramento Record-Union: The act of
the Nicaraguan government In declaring
Corinto no longer a port of entry and in
ordering it closed, however looked upon,
is indicative of sturdy patriotism. Despite
the face that the Nicaraguans are wrong
in their resistance, unwise and impolitic
we cannot but admire the patriotism that
moves an entire population to vacate a
town and give up their homes, and of
the nation that closes up. to its infinite
damage, its chief seaport In orJer to out
wit and confuse a sreat power tbat is
pressing indemnity demands upon it.
But when this is said it remains that
Nicaragua must pay. She is so advised
by her near-by sister republics; she is so
urged by her great friend the United
States of America, who stands between
tier and any possible invasion of con
quest: she is certain to be coerced to do
so at the point of the sword by a power
that can crush her us a strong man would
crush an egg shell.
The claim of the president of Nicaragua
that arbitration as to the right to dam
ages and the amount should be the lirst
step is of course one that appeals to
peace sympathies. But arbitration must
be voluntary. If a nation refuses to en
gage in it, that is the end of the matter.
Oakland Tribune: There lias been
some speculation as to what effect the in
vasion of Nicaragua by a British force
would have on tiie prospects of the Nice
ragua canal. There may be something in
the rumor that the canal company lias
offered to advance the money to meet
the claims of indemnity. Warner Miller,
the most active promoter of that enter
prise, has been a conspieous figure ol late
in efforts to bring about a satisfactory
settlement of the difficulty. Tho Nica
ragua canal treasury has been so low of
lute that much of the work at one time
in progress baa been suspended. Perhaps
176.000 could not be more profitably ex
pended just now than ill helping Nica
ragua out of the present dilemma. Our
own countrymen have planned that great
ship canal and have begun the wor!;.
.Several millions have already been ex
pended. Some friendly legislation will
yet be needed on the part of Nicaragua.
There is a good opportunity to make
friends in that direction. Warner Miller
is not letting tne grass grow under his
feet. So far from any disaster to the
great canal enterprise on account of
Briitsb hostility, it nuw looks as if it
might be turned to good account in fur
thering the interests of tbe canal com
pany.
THE REDEMPTION OF LAW
Christian Socialism the Antidote
for Anarchy
LECTURE BY PROF. HERRON
Bristling With Telling Arguments and
Convincing Logic
Han Has a Right to Do as He Pleases So Long
as He Pleases to Do
Right
Professor (leorge LL licrron gave the
fourth lecturo of his course last evening
in Illinois hull before an enormous audi
ence. The speaker was followed with the
closest and most absorbed attention and
interrupted by trequont bursts of ap
plause. His strong points, which were
many, were accentuated by a very telling
hesitation In their delivery, and the in
terest, all through was sustained by his
Well modulated voice ami clear, distinct
enunciation.
Key. l>. Lloyd Jenkins, Key. l>r.
Brooks of Illinois, Rev, IJr. Bowers, Rev.
Run Estes Howard and I. M. Larkin oo
cnpled the platform with Mr. tlerron.
who opened his remarks by staling that
there is no likeness between the Christian
idea) and that of the anarchist, as Chris
tians sometimes foolishly and unthink
ingly admit, aud organized selfishness
eagerly charges. The method and ideal
of the philosophical anarchist and the
method and ideal of the Christian politi
cal philosopher are the exact antagonism
of each other. The Christian organiza
tion of the stale would be its perfection:
the anarchist philosophy would he its de
struction. ,\ Christian policy would fulfill
the institutions of the state; the anarchist
policy would abolish them. The Chris
tian ideal would lead the people In a
political progress that would leave restric
tive institutions with nothing lo do. so
that they would fall into the greater free
dom thus achieved anil die, as the acorn
dies in the earth When tiie tree conies
forth. The anarchist ideal would lead
the people in a descent to the lowest
political hell, where individual self-will
would establish the throne of perfect des
potism and the order to perfect misery.
The difference between the achievement
of the Christian ideal and the anarchist
ideal is the difference between the coming
of the kingdom of heaven and the coming
of the kingdom of lieil on the earth. Gov
ernment is not transient or a necessary
evil, but eternal in the heart of God. The
anarchist spirit that would destroy is th"
witness to the divine necessity of the in
stitutions at which destruction is aimed.
Not the abolition, but tlio fulfillment of
institutions is the way of freedom, and
it will be the institutional obedience to
the law ot sacrifice by which Christ made
us free.
Present forms of institutions may pro
gressively pass away, continued Dr.
Herron, but tlie state itself will not; the
nation is immortal, anil tbe peoples will
never cease to have their national beings
anil organs. The being ami glory of the
state will not cease with its restrictive
functions, but will rather be increased
anil fulfilled in functions tbat shall be
educational, inspirational and eternal.
Political progress will not ascend by the
way of tne destruction of law, but its
larger and purer distinction between the
nature of the moral law and the nature
of the law of the state is an evil imagina
tion and a political fatuity. There is
but one law and one right, of which the
state is the oruan and educator. The
I'hrislian idea of law. which no nation
has yet embodied in its constitution or
in its judicial ideals, is the evolution and
fulfillment of the Hebrew law. To the
HebretK, law was an expression of the
mind of Cod concerning man. From the
beginning of his education, the Hebrew
child was grounded and disciplined in the
law of the nation; the study of the law
was the education of the man in the right
and a saving knowledge ot the wrong.
Law was a medium of communion and
wosrbip of obedience aiid co-operation,
its functions were educational and sub
jective rather than objective in operation.
The protective and police functions of
the law were incidental to tiie education
of man in tbo will of Cod; of the nation
in the right of God. Upon tho common
study of the law as the word of Cod.
not merely or mainly upon legal execu
tions docs the integrity of the nation de
pend. Nowhere has the sacrcdness of
human life been so seriously emphasized
as in tbe Hebrew laws, yet the emphasis
is always laid upon the awful subjective
effect of tin: sili of murder in the mur
dercr. rather tnnii in its objective effect
on the murdered.
Here Mr. Herron introduced the story
of the first murder and stated that it was
not in the fact that Abel was killed,
nut that Cain killed him. it was not un
til ihe nation had nearly completed its
political history that the transcription of
the law was complete, that transcription
came with national decay. The speaker
then referred at length to the Christian
doctrino of law as propounded by Paul,
In bis letters to the early churches law
was hel l to be the schoolmaster whose
work was the education of man in love;
not the love of a sentimentalist or a
mystic, but as a political philosopher; as a
social statesman who Understands and de
fines the educational and associative
functions of law. Society is the fulfill
ment of the law. because it is the fulfill
ment of love. Law is the divine instru
ment for the conviction of men in the
wrong that separates them from each
other and from Cod. Not individual pro
tection, but mutual association is the end
of law, said the speaker with profound
emphasis; not individual rights, but
mutual association in righteousness.
Neither Christian apostle nor Hebrew
prophet over thought that the law in
itself could make men righteous or that
its incident of individual protection was
the cud of law.
The law and its judgments arc not now
llic education of the people in right. Law
and justice have come to lie separate
entities, which may incidentally unite.
The purest representatives may be on the
judicial bench, but the fact abides and
nlargea that our courts of law have ceased
to be courts of justice in the public mind;
no legal sophistry can conceal that one's
standing in the processes of legal trial
and judgment depends in large degree
upon the material'interests he represents,
and liis ability to purchase technical
skill. Even judicial decisions that are
strictly according to the law are often so
notoriously unjust as to Inspire a wide
and ominous distrust of both legislatures
and courts. To say that an act is legal no
longer necessarily means that it is just
and right.
Mr. Herron here feelingly culled the
special attention of the audience to the
fact that no legal method could be found
to punish a former president of a railway
corpoiation who bad virtually stolen $8,
--000,000, while the governor of another
commonwealth is petitioned to pardon
another young man under sentence of
fourteen 'years' imprisonment for the
theft of a pair of shoes.
Then came a concrete example of bow
law may be made the instrument of In
dustrial anarchy in the legalized plunder
of railway properties.
The receivers who have themselves
bankrupted the properties for persona
profit, and who are practically responsibl
to the real owners or the public. Mr. Van
Oss' book on American railroads as in
vestments was spoken of as the most
recent and reliable authority on the sub
ject. It says that for siiares
of railroad stock now in existence the
original investors certainly paid not more
than $405,000,000, Bt lb per cent of their
full value and piobubly less.
LflpHE latest U. S. Government
Report <See shows
f Cleveland's Baking Powder to be
r, a pure cream of tartar powder
and its leavening power the
highest in its class
Without redress or remedy, under the
present laws, American people are now
inlying interest on a capital stock amount
ing to billions of dollars,which never bad
a real .existence. One railway system is
at present a greater menace to the integ
rity and perpetuity of the nation than
was ever the institution of slavery. It is
the strongest enemy of society and the
chief danger of anarchy, and it nas become
such through the manipulation of legis
latures and the protection of courts. The
command and administration of the rail
way system law is the most immediate
national problem which demands legislat
ive and judicial solution. The people
ought not much longer maintain
what are practically public corpora
tions privately owned, with no
responsibility " for the public wel
fare, no accountably to the public
will, and virtually not amenable to public
justice, vet requiring the national courts
for their operation and tho national
army for their protection. The social
wrongs and industrial disorder attribut
able to the present conceptions and in
terpretations of law arc not mitigated by
the fact that the fault largely lies in the
enactment of the law itself, and in
precedent rather than in the judiciary.
Law is not fixed and mechanical, but
is vital and revolutionary: courts are set
to make as well ns follow precedent.
The tyranny of code, of an unchange
aole interpretation of law may be more
destructive to liberty than the tyranny
of a despot.
The speaker then dwelt for some time
on the inordinatcand perverted sense of
the worth of property, which makes it
the object of social worship; the rule of
property has usurped the rule of the peo
ple and legislative balls have been con
verted into the lobby chambers. Corpo
rations next came under consideration.
Corporations that are tbe chief benefic
iaries of legislation, and that use the laws
to achieve their ends, yet avail theiu
seves of the laws' extreme protection, but
are practically a law unto themselves.
Street railway corporations were alluded
lo which kill their hundreds through
profitable neglect, or iefusal to provide
appliances for avoiding such accidents.
President Lincoln was quoted when lie
raised his warning voice in a message to
tiie thirty-seventh congress, in which lie
said that "labor is prior to and inde
pendent of capital. Capital is only tbe
truit of labor and never could havo ex
isted if laboi had not first existed. Labor
is the superior of capital and deserves
much the higher consideration."
Much liberty has been lost and great
property despotisms have been built Up
since Abraham Lincoln spoke this un
heeded warning to the nation, for which
both his life and death gave a divine
Sacrifice, The law which was instituted
to protect and perfect our liberties has be
come the instrument of their perversion
and peril, and the nation lias become
the most lawless and socially destructive
of civilized people through tlie instru
mentality of purely secular and individ
ual conceptions of law.
In the extreme and competitive sense
in which individual rights arc now inter
preted, government does not exist for the
protection of the individual. If our na
tion is to be saved and civilization be re
genera'ed, the Hebrew and Roman and
Anglo-Saxon conceptions of law must
all three be fulfilled in the Christian
and universal concepiton of law as existing
for the association of men In righteous
ness. Not only must law bo protective
and become loving, but love must become
law, and all tiie statutes of the state and
judgments of the courts redemptive in
terprelation3 and applications of the law
of love; the true end of law is the re
demption, association and perfection of
man.
BLUE AND GOLD
A College Paper Arouses the Ire of the
Faculty
BERK ELS V, Cal., May 2.—The facul
ty of tho University of California is thor
oughly aroused over the last number of
Blue and Cold, an annual publication
edited by the students, in which mem
bers of the faculty are lampooned. Ray
mond J. Buss, editor In chief, and Galen
Fisher and Arthur Brown, jr.. associate
editors, all fear expulsion. Everybody at
Berkeley is reading the book, which has
suddenly cast Trilby into the background
as absorbing literary matter. Professor
Putkzer has"added his indignation to the
feeling against the editors of Blue and
Cold. Professor Putzker occupies the
chair of the German language and litera
ture at the university, and his friends say
that the lampoons directed against him
by the Blue and Hold are malicious and
impudent. Editor lUtss says that Pro
fessor HenshaW, a Harvard graduate, is i
tlio person who is making the fuss over
the publication, because of a reference
to himself and a "college widow" in dog
gerel. HenshaW was so angry that lie
sought lo chastise the offending editor.
The board of editors has been summoned
to appear before the faculty committee
Friday morning at 11 oclock. The senti
ment of students and professors seems to
be that wuile the editors will not be ex
pelled from college they will be severely
censured. The editors will explain that
there wa ■ no malice intended, and though
they may have been indiscreet, they did
not intend 'o wound the feelings of the
instructors who are offended.

A sort ol campaign opening wedge wal
driven in by the Los Angeles Republican

Xcw York and State Senator 0. Z. Hub
bell of Indiana, at the club's new head
quarters in the Odd Fellows' building on
Main street.
Tbe gentlemen are in Southern Califor
nia on business and pleasure anil were
somewhat loath to appear in public or to
make any remarks, but tho Republicans
thought SUOh distinguished brothers
should not be passed w'thout a demon
stration; so the Bery cross was sent
around and tho faithful gathered from far
and near.
President C. E. Day called the large as
sembly together and after a few brief but
happy opening remarks lie introduce!
Mayor Frank Radur. who also formally
welcomed the guests of tbe evening. As
semblyman 11. N. Bulla also spoke.
Senator Hubbell was introduced and
amid a roar of cheers he bowed to the en
thusiastic Republicans and began a fre
quently applauded speech, replete with
Patriotic sentiments and rife with refer
ences to the "bloody shirt" that is gen
erally supposed to have been through the
wash since the sanguinary struggle that
discolored it. At the conclusion of a re
view of the political situation in Indiana
and tlio nation, besides remarks on the
topics of the day, he thanke I the gentle
men for their courtesy, complimented the
glorious Southern California climate and
retired.
Col. E. P. Treat was called upon and
made a sincere Republican speech, dis
tinguished for its brevity and wit.
President Day then arose and explained
that he had inveigled the lion of the
meeting there on the promise that he
(the piesidcnt) would not call for a
speecli from him. He advised with his
promise and left the matter in the hands
of tic club. So the club sent up a storm
of cheers and cries of "speech", that
continued until Mr. Fassett, urged by all.
went to the front of the audience ami
smiled his consent. Mr. Fassett is a
yi>iin r man of good stature, good looking,
iiot elaborately dressed in a light suit,
with a blonde 'moustache and a light crop
of hair on a solid, well formed head.
His manner was easy but impressive,
from his hands thrust into his pockets
and his habit of occasionally rising
slightly on his toes to his deep resonant
voice'
Ho said lie had left New York to escape
politics, but didn't know he was to get
Into such a wide-awake com nihility of
Republicans. He began by a few general
remarks on the political situation and
gradually warmed into a speech of remi
niscence and present tOp'OS that was
highly instructive to those present and
was si) appreciated that be was frequently
interrupted by loud applause.
The speaker expressed a disinclination
to enter into a discussion of tho merits of
the question, but he predicted that the
financial question—the silver question -
would be the keynote of the next cam
paign. (And. hear ye! —he sain tin-ance,
with the i softly spoken and the accent
on the last syllable.)
As he naively remarked: "The man who
says the most about silver now, will have,
the most to take back two years from
now," so he confined himself to general
ities. "But," said he, if silver should be
the paramount issue, I hold that the
stoutest hearts aud wisest heads to decide
the question will be found in tbe party
that carried the country from Buchanan a
administration to Cleveland* reign."
He continued on that line and dis
cussed the prospects for the presidency.
He had favored Blame ill 1892, he said, .
because, though Harrison was unim
peachable and had won the intelligence
of the party, he had antagonized the
hearts of his constituency and his defeat
was certain. But Blame was deacn and
new men were alield. Tiie speaker re
viewed the merits of Harrison, McKiniey
and Reed.but put in an oar for New York
by extolling the virtues of his friend,
that dear old farmer, banker, statesman,
etc., Levi P. Morton, governor of that
state.
Mr. Fassett gained rounds of applause
by StaMng that his inteiests in California
were more than passing. His wife, lie
said, was a native daughter of the golden
west, and be had considerable property in
Southern California. He alluded unite
tenderly to the honeymoon in Los Ange
les sixteen years ago and to some eight
domestic achievements of theirs since
that event. And the house was with him.
ill! praised this country as a garden spot,
and all that, and the gentlemen present
were reluctant to excuse him as nc bowed
bis farewell.
President Day adjourned the meeting
to an adjoining room, where refreshments
were served and tiie cup of good cheefr
went around until tlie gentlemen ety
pressed themselves as charmed with the
southern and western hospitality. There
were numbers of prominent club members
and citizens present, among them being
