TEMPERANCE NARRATIVE.
The following is the Temper
ance Narrative as adopted by the
Presbytery: 5e4a4 u
Giving in State where two
thirds of the counties have no H.
cense, we feel encouraged with the
hope that soon we shall have a
Prohibitory Liquor clause in our
constitution.
For this end, we, as a church,
are in line with our sister evangel-
ical churches.
The refusal of the Legislature to
submit the Prohibitory Amend
meat has added new earnestness
to the Temperance hosts, and
thorough organization of every
county in the State is in progress.
A State Convention will be held at
Parkersburg on June 18th. When
opportunity offers, our churches
and ministers are active in all
forms of Temperance work. s,
The W. G. 7. U. and Y. w. C. T.

work of some of our most faithful
women. w. A. POWELL

THE PANIC.

The panic among the brokers and bank
ers of New York is, we fear, more serious
than even the dispatches indicate. There
have been evidences for some time of a
strained condition of affairs. The failure
of Keene was due to a decline of stocks
that bids fair to be long continued, since
the lessened prices and the improbability
of recovery brought about his collapse.
The depression i'll wheat prices, and the
failure Of several spectators caused I'M
easineSs in more quarters than one. The
output of gold continuing, and reaching as
high as S1l 100000 in March from nothing
in January, with. the drain of bank reve-
nues in consequence, all pointed to the
possibility of financial trouble. When the
downfall of the Marine Bank was an
nounced, and the failure Of Grant &
Ward followed, most people looked
forward to more serious complica-
lions in New York financial circles
4 panic having set in and several firms and
banks having gone by the board. it is evil
dent that the situation is exceedingly bad
for the Secretary of the Treasury has felt
it incumbent to come to the relief of the
money circle, and order the taking up o
bonds over Il month in advance of the date
of their falling due. This he would MOI

situation very hazardous. Late report

SAVE THE WRECK.

Further examination confirms the view
We expressed Yesterday that the decision
in the Hagar case contains declarations of
principles by the Supreme Court of the
United States which, applied to the railroad
tax cases, is decisive of them and sustains
the claims of the railroad corporations. 1t
is possible for the State of California vet
to save something from the wreck of the
late extra session. The Legislature refused
to accept the money the railroad companies
paid into Court in the spirit of fairness,
and to testify 10 the fact that they do not
seek to evade the payment of taxes, but
only resist imposition and eXtortion and
downright injustice The part of wiz
dom would be TO have that money
at once placed in the State treas
ury. If the Governor and Controller
are properly advised they Will certainly
see to it that this is done. 1t is settled
now, and few are found so bold As to deny
it, that whatever rights the State had in
the tax litigation have been preserved, and
that every issue she can desire passed upon
has gone up to the Supreme Court of the
United States. The probability is that the
State will be defeated there as she has
been in the Courts below, and to await
that event before repairing the school fund,
into which the late Legislature unlawfnIly
made a 100000 hole, will be simply an
act of logged stubbornees unworthy the
great State Of California. Let the railroad
tax money be paid into the State treasury
at once, and that much, at least, be saved
from the wreck of the late extra session.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1884-05-15

Sye concur in its expression that up to
recent date the nesion was prevalent that
the United States was the common prop
ertv of mankind. Everybody was to be
allowed to enter, to do what he pleased,
compete with our own people, make all the
money he could and clear out when he was
satisfied. 1t was merely because OF our
mrivaled resources that we were en-
abled TO get along under that system.
The country was vast and the popuia-
tirn thin and scant. But we have now fifty
four millions of people. We are looking
forward at an early date to one hundred
millions. The sentiment Is developing
that we have not much more to throw
away on aliens. We want all we have for
those who have cast in their lot with us, or
propose 10 do so, provided we consider them
to be eligible Nationality is proper and
necessary sentiment of selfshness. America
is to be the permanent home OF the free
and the brave but not the temporary
cruising ground of the degraded" That
is exactly the kind of journalistic work we
need to stimulate the growth of national
sentiment, and bring about very early the
complete establishment of the doctrine
that this republic is not house of refuge
in which all men have an inherent right
The brotherhood of man is a sentiment
that in the abstract no one will trouble
himself to controvert; but it does not fol
low that it makes our brother tenant in
common in our possessions, with absolute
right of entry.

THE OLD EXCUSE.

Precisely as was to be expected, the San
Francisco Examiner, in the chagrin felt at
the collapse of the scheme of its chief to
ride into power at the expense of the peo-
pie, charges the failure of the extra ses-
sion upon 4 combination of Republicans
and Democrats in the Senate, who servile-
~ did the bidding of the railroad com
pany AT all times and in all things Now,
this Is mere "hogwash slang alone is
appropriate when dealing with such mat
ter-it is sheer idiocy to plead baby acts,
and whine over spilled milk The Elaa,-
me- knows very well that the conservatives
of both House and Senate were such from
conviction of duty. To charge that the
man who refuses to engage in your rascally
scheme is bribed 10y someone, is to whining
~ confess your own weakness. The truth
l., if there was any "sack in the extra
session the transformations crowd were
priyy TO it; if there was intimidation, and
there was. 1t came from the bulldozing rad
ieais, some of whom went 50 far as to adj
Yocate hemp: if there was lobbying. and
there was, it was done by Greathousc
and the minions Of Hearst, by a few de-
ceived but well-meaning agriculturiSts,
and by the fanatical crew that PLAYED sec
ond fiddle 10 the boss of the spectacle
II there was any servile obedience. it was
n the bidding of the same authority; if
there was any trickery with means to ac-
complish ends It was concocted by the
men who sought to open up bonanza Of
sees for pet LAWYERS; % Dust men from Of
fee solely that Others might have their
places; TO manufacture carital for. Inc
promotion Of the political ambition of two
OF three men-in short, all the deviltry,
all the bribery, all the lobbying, all the
chicanery, was done by a quartet of
demagogues in the name of " the peo-
ple"-ior that purpose seized upon and
profaned, and to cover the infamy and
mask sinister designs, = great hullabaloo
was raised about the railroads, and every
representative ana every senator VINO
had manliness enough to protest against it
was ,tigmatized as wearing n railroad col
lar. This is the old excuse, the old method
Of behttling ones opponent and covering
defeat. 1t won't do. The people have
tired Of this style of pleading. The Er-
anne and It's crowd should summon up
rnanliness enough to confess what they
know to be true-that the people did not
sustain their schemes; that the facts did
not maintain their charges; that ordinary
judgment did not support their theories
and plans; that their plotting collapsed
because IL was selfish, brutal and wholly
wicked that the political party in whose
interest the whole affair was gotten mp,
mas repudiated it, and that the result of
