THE SIERRA CENTENARY.

On Thursday, ID Carmel valley, an ami
versary Observance will take place which is
of more than usual historic importance.
The old mission chapel of San Carlos, in
Monterey county, which has so long been a
picturesque ruin, has been considerably re-
stored, and put into a condition to justify
its occupancy. Padre JuniperO Sierra was
the leader of that great pioneer agency OF
the Catholic Church that penetrated the
continent of America, and which upon the
| Western and Gule shores won some of the
greatest moral victories OF the last century.
He founded numerous missions III what
was then Upper California, and passed here
life that was crowned with the highest
| henors and successes any moral instructor
and Christian missionary ever achieved
| upon these Western shores. The high mass
about to be celebrated in San Carlos Mis-
sion Church, whe)e that venerable Father
in God once OBLIGATED and the civic cere-
monies to follow, are in commentator OF
| the one hundredth anniversary Of the close
of his spirituarlabors by the hand of death.
! The celebration announced will be invested
with romantic interest. Every acre OF
ground in Monterey is historic; around every
rood cluster memories, histories and tradi-
tions ofprofoundest interest. It's reasonable
20 expect that there will be an attendance III
Carmel valley on Thursday OF great null
titude Modern civilization will then come
face to face with the simplicity of the past
and tread the ground where the Franciscan
priests began the labors of the earliest
Christian history of California. The soil
made sacred by pious pioneers of the cross
will give back dull echoes to the tread Of an
armed citizen soldiery, in peaceful array, OF
Republic not born when the missionary
labors of the priests began upon this coast
and there will be present the represents
tives of political and social institutions not
| born when the now crumbling walls of San
Carlos Church were laid in rude architect
ure by the natives of Alta California. The
occasion will undoubtedly rise to one OF
State importance. 1t will be seized upon
by many to visit Monterey and its historic
spots the beautiful groves the picturesque
drives; the unequaled sea beaches the mag
niicent property at Del Monte where the
new so strongly contrasts with the old in
the architecture of a magnificent hosiery
and many other attractions of the old Cap
ital. The fact that the Southern Pacific
Railroad has resolved to issue excursion
tickets for the occasion, good until the Isl
of next month, will probably insure an at
tendance on the 2Sth commensurate with

IN the celebration of State holiday
which has been arranged for in this city
with much elaboration it has been reso lved
to exclude from the procession all adver-
Using features. This is as it should be.
The same rule should be applied to Fourth
of July and other national celebration pro-
cessions. The advertising cars certainly
testify to the enterprise and keen advertis-
ing sense of those who use them, but they
are out of place in the line, do not add to
its value in the estimation of the people,
and excite jealousies and bad feelings. Be
sides the appropriateness amounts to an
absolute offense to good taste, and belittles
the procession-drags it down to L mere
business level and strips it of the broad
| spirit of patriotism that should invest it,

WHAT But er asks of the Democracy. ii
will by no m cams do. The foxy old poll
tician knew lit when he proposed as the
terms of his withdrawal, that the Demo
Gratis shall take Cleveland down, put up
Thurman, ard quit calling names. As to
the first, no lower short Of National Con-
vention can ttake Cleveland down" As
to the second, Thurman is too much the
man to accept a secondhand nomination.
In the last place, the Democracy can no
more quit calling names than leopard
can change lis spots. From the earliest
history of all Democratic parties, both in
the old and le new world, they have been
the parties Of opposition, whose stock in
trade is to "abusc the other fellow" and
object TO all lie docs.

WAsHINGroN, August 25th.-Reprcsenta-
tive J. d. Taylor, of Ohio, who has been
renominated for Congress, has been in he
city for several days. In a conversation
with your correspondent to-day, he said
that Ohio would certainly go Republican
both in October and November. He said
the defeat of the Converse bill to restore the
duty on wool, and the defeat of the gentle
man for the nomination for Congress- and
free-trader Hurd's nomination, showed the
position Of the Democratic party on the
tariff question, and would be worth thou
sands Of votes to the Republican party.

Both Parties Sadly in Need of Coin.
WASHINGTON, August 25th.-While the
campaign has not opened in any OF the
States save Maine and West Virginia, menu
hers of Congress Of both parties, who have
received nominations, are besieging the
Democratic and Republican Congressional
Committees for financial assistance. Neither
of the two committees has thus far received
any considerable amount of funds, and
what little has been contributed is being
expended in the circulation of campaign
documents. All the officers of the Demo
cratic committee say that they cannot carry
their districts without money, and the
same despairing wall is heard from the
other side. Gentlemen representing the
Congressional districts in which large sums
of money have heretofore been spent to
carry the elections, fully recognize the fact
that their opponents will be just as severely
cramped for funds this year as
they themselves seem likely to be.
Owing to the operation of the civil service
law. contributions from Government en-
ploves will be much less this year than
heretofore The subscriptions to the cam
paign funds of the parties from outside
individuals, bankers, merchants and man
ufacturers, Will, it is expected, be much less
than in any Presidential campaign OF re-
cent years. This is not due TO the fact that
less interest is taken in the Presidential
contest than usual, but because men have
not the money to spend in politics that
they had in 1876 and 1880. The indications
at present are that the campaign will be
fought with weaker organization on both
sides, and the expenditure of much
smaller sum of money, for even legitimate
campaign expenses, than would please the
political strikers of either party in large
cities

The Prohibition Candidates Notified.

CUBA On. ", August 25th-The COM
mittee to notify John p. st. John and
William Daniels, the Prohibition candi-
dates for President and Vice-Presidcnt,
called on those gentlemen here to-day.
The address of notification was delivered
by Professor Dickey, Chairman. He spoke
at length of the character of the Conven-
ton which nominated them being made
up of earnest men and women, such as
those who opposed slavery years ago. He
closed by invoking Divine blessing on the
candidates, praying. that they might have
wisdom, courage and strength.
Governor st. John replied expressing
his high appreciation of the unanimity
with which the unsought honor had been
conferred upon him. He said there were
more political parties in the field than
political issues Both the Democratic and
Republican parties were united in making
the liquor traffic permanent. Ee thought
its suppression the only question to-day
which really reaches the heart and con-
science of the citizens. Upon this issue
they should 90 to the people. Let those
resort to personal abuse and scandal who
had nothing better to uphold their cause.
The Prohibition party was not merely 4
menace; it was the outgrowth of a rapidly
increasing, crystallized sentiment, against
the greatest evil of the age, an evil which
old parties dare not attack. The prohibi-
ton agitation would never cease as long as
the flag of the country waves its protecting
folds over legalized dram-shops. The
party was accountable to go in this
struggle.
Daniels followed. He said he was pro-
foundry gratitied at the honor conferred.
He accepted the nomination and expected
to do SO more formally by letter hereafter.
