Hon. THOMAS B. REDDING has a long letter in
the New Castle Courier, addressed to third
party Prohibitionist, with whom he has been
maintaining discussion Judge Reading con-
cludes his very able letter by saying:
'What do you gain by helping the common
enemy win the battle2 What do you gain by
deserving your party and turning everything
over to the enemy for o while-no one knows
how long7 What do you gain by filling the halls
of Congress, and legislatures, and all the offices,
with those pledged to maintain the whisky inter-
ests2 WHAT do you gain by teaching the young
and rising generation that the way to prefer
ment is through the saloon? What do you gain
by putting all the resources of -the Nation and
States at the command of the liquor power?
Yet you know that by defeating the Republican
party you do all this. You know that
at the last general election your
party gave this Nation to the party that you say
lis hopelessly sold and delivered to the liquor
interests and that no good has come to the tenn
perance cause from that act You know that
You have deserted the great mass of the temper
ance army, and are in active opposition and
waging war against it, You know that you can
not win single battle for temperance or nrohi-
bition as third party for years to come, if
ever If, then, you really love temperance and
prohibition more than you do the sweets of re-
venge-if you are willing to work for a speedy
and signal victory for temperance, rather
than the overthrow of your friends and
willing to crawl before you can walk,
and walk before you can ruu; if you have any
desire to cripple aud defeat the whisky power
rather than temperance men, who differ from
you only as to methods, then unite with the
great body Of temperance men and help win the
victory that you. for the present, by your deser-
ton, have torn from their grasp. You say when
iniquity Is intrenched in law. no revelation IS
needed to predict the result Yet you ssH1p to
put iniquitv itself in power, to make and enforce
what laws it will so that you may defeat your
friends and the party you hate-that you may
at some time be a second party. My Bible
teaches not to do evil that good may come
God does not come by that road.
'But are not words wasted on him who seeks
revengel Is not reason sCbordinated when hate
usurps the thronel It Is not any wonder that
one in such condition can say, I will not vote
for Prohibtionist,' if he stands on Repub
lican platform. It is not surprising, that any
one is ready to let the gigantic crime of crimes
take the reins of government rather than see
the object of his hate and revenge in power2
No wonderl that under these circumstances,
such an one should feel lit is but cruel insult
to help, Longer, the Republican party fight
the battles of temperance, and to keep this
lsagued and gigantic crime of crimes out of
power. How shall we convince such an one
of the error of his way2"

called on Cincinnati artist to see his painting
of the battle of Shiloh. The latter is represented
as so strongly moved that he shed tears at sight
of it. Very likely The work of the average

bad. A soldier is supposed to be hardened

Monument to Raphael semmes.

MOUTHS a. hegIHCEE.
The Hon. Jefferson Davis has written private
letter TO Mr.. T. c. DeLeon warmly ndorsing the
Semmes monument as Just and proper tribute
to the dead sailor. Though'a personal letter, we
permitted to quotes ''It will do my heart
good to witness manifestation of due regard for
the man who first bore the confederate flag on
the high seas and carried it to countries where
the name would probably otherwise never have
been known" Mr. Davis holds out the hope that
on the completion Of this monument, he will De
present and assist at its dedication. There is no
valid reason why an early day should not witness
this too-long delayed ceremony.

advice to men of sedentary habits to walk to
and from their places of business. It is by
no means certain that this is good advice.
The average man Of business is too tired to
care to walk home after hard days work,
while in the morning he does not care to or is
in too great hurry. It remains, of course,
that he must suffer thereby but he does suf-
fer, and that is the end Of it until he is car
ried off to the only place in which he will con-
sent to rest-the grave. 1t is mighty poor
advice to tell a very tired man to take more
physical exercise-frst, for the very good rea-
son that it would be injurious to thus over
tax the physical powers, and second, and suf-
fciently that he will not take the advice. 1t
were very much better to tell him to stop
work an hour earlier, and to take walk after
having rested for an hour OF two, and had
something in the way Of food. The walk that
business man would take under such advice
would not tend to help him or to fit him for
the better discharge of his duties. If he walk
to or from his place Of business, he does so
at Maud S. gait that precludes the idea Of
health-giving exercise. 1t is really as
much business" for him as any
thing he does after he gets to the Office
or store. Walking of that kind does no good
as recreation, and will help neither mind
nor body Besides, it is very difficult, if not
impossible, to prescribe any course of action
that will be equally good for the mass of men
to whom it is indiscriminately directed. The
man worn out with business needs rest, not
exercise. A half hour or more spent at full
length on lounge or sofa before starting for
home would be vastly better for the over
worked man of sendentary habits than mad
rush for home under the delusion that ga lit
tie exercise" is imperative After the body
and mind are partially rested, and after the
cares of the day have lifted little the good
work can be completed by stroll at random
and to such lengths as may be agreeable. 1t
is not infrequent that the trouble with the
man of sedentary habits is mental rather than
physical; he does not need exercise of the
body half so much as rest of the mental fac
ulties. The man who can fling himself down
and sink into a refreshing sleep at moments
notice is not the man likely to be troubled
with any of the many ills that make life a
burden to the man of ''sedentary habits. I"

The LICK Teiescope.

The observatory on Mount Hamil-
ton, Santa Clara county, is being rap
idly prepared for mounting the great
Lick telescope, which it is hoped will
be ready to fix in place by the end OF
the present year, The object glass
that, after series OF unsuccessful at
tempts, covering several years, has
at last been successfully cast, is now
being ground by the celebrated firm
of Alvin Clark & Co, at Cambridge,
Mass, preparatory for use. 1t is ex-
pected that the Lick telescope, when
mounted, will be OF sufficient power
to apparently bring the moon within
aview OF not more than thirty orforty
miles in distance from the beholder.
The apparatus which is being
fitted up to facilitate the successful
use OF the monster telescope,
is remarkable in its complexity and
ingenious adaptation to the intended
purposes. Many suppose that all that
is necessary to obtain correct view
OF heavenly body, is simply to look
through the telescope at it. This is
not the case. Tho earth is travelling
through space at the rate OF about a
million and half miles a day, he
sides revolving on its own axis. One
of the most difficult problems for the
astronomer to solve, is how to mount
his telescope 30 that his view will re-
main fixed upon the same spot during
his entire observation. Not to con-
quer this difficulty is to have his view
thrown upon a different field every
moment OF time. II is claimed that
this, and all other material difficult
ties, have been overcome in the case
OF the Lick telescope, and that it will
be the best, strongest and most per-
fectly appointed instrument in the
world. Calfornians will all be justly
proud OF this telescope, ii it meets the
expectations of scientific men in re-
gard 10 it,

THERE are many theories OF the
cause of earthquakes. One OF the
oldest is, that the vibrations OF the
earth's surface are due to electrical
action, and that the disturbance no.
ticeable at the surface OF the ground,
does not extend down TO any great
depth into the earth. 1t has been
stated that miners, in the lower levels
OF the Comstock, do not feel earth
quake shocks, no matter how heavy
they may be at the top OF the ground.
In 1869, w. Frank Stewart, OF San
Jose, Santa Clara county, afterwards
State Mineralogist Of tie State OF
Nevada, wrote series of articles to
the OCerland Monthly, at San Fran
cisco, warmly advocating the cleo
trical theory Of the origin OF earth
quakes. and he afterwards published
pamphlet to the same effect. But
the theory did not originate with him.
1t was then over hundred years old.
Since 1869, little new has beenevolved
on the subject, and there are nearly
as many different theories OF the
cause of earthquakes as there are
men who claim to be scientific.

Future Immigration 10 This
GOast.


For some cause the winters appear
TO be gradually growing more inclem-
ent in the older States, and the cy-
clones in summer more violent and
destructive. OF course no Californian
wishes any calamity OF cold or wind
or flood to visit our cousins beyond
the mountains; yet the thought can
not but arise that the terrible climatic
experiences to which they are con-
stantly being subjected. will tend to
swell immensely the tide of immigra-
ton pouring into this State. There Is
no doubt that there will be veritable
hegira from the regions visited by the
recent terrible storm, as soon as the
winter closes. There is room here
ior all that may conclude TO come.
California is very nearly as large as
France, which has thirty-five millions
of people. And the land is better
than that Of France, and we occupy
more advantageous position on the
map of the world. Equi-distant from
the Frigid Zone and the Tropics,
standing at the gate OF the Orient,
and bordering on an ocean where
dangerous storms are almost in-
known, we can confidently invite
all classes from all lands, in the full
expectation that they will be more
than satisfied. Especially will Cali
fornia always be inviting and salts
fying to those who have suffered from
the terrible cyclones and blizzards,
and Arctic storms Of the older States.

SOMEHOW we do not hear as much
about "our rulers" as we used to,
when there was a Republican admin
istration of public affairs. Demo
Gratis never did use the term, consid-
ering that the people in this country
are their own "rulers," /" and that pub
lie officers, from the President down,
are but public servants, and that a
man is no better and no worse be-
cause he happens to fill, for brief
space, an official position. The Pres
ident of the United States, at most,
is only the first citizen of the repub-
lie, through whom, for the time being,
the duties OF Chief Magistrate OF the
nation are discharged, and all on be-
half OF the people, the real and only
sovereigns. 1t is nonsense, besides
aping monarchical tendencies, to talk
OF "our ruler" when referring to the
President of the United States.

A Calls New York special says;
civilian Henry Hurlburt, quoting from
a correspondent at Bombay, SAYS A
native tinancier of the first rank gives a
tabulated return of the silver coinage of
India. In lS4l, when the British Indian
Empire embraced 8l5,000 square miles
OF territory, the Indian mints coined
f2,S44, 094; in 1852, with 1860 square
miles, they coined "a, ,240, 406. During
the two years OF the great mutiny OF
1857 5S, with $50, 600 square miles, they
coined flO,770, 293 and fl2. .55l ,402.
Under the impulse given by our civil
war to the cotton productions Of India,
the Indian silver coinage went up in
1866 to GA, 507, ,040. This was surpassed
10 1878, the year of the last great
famine. when, with an area OF
100000 square miles, British India
coined fl6, lS0, 1926 Of silver. In 1880, the
year OF the last Afghanistan war, the sill
yer coinage Of India reached flO, 1885,
967, but il fell in 1882 to f1, ,556,275,
and it ia, perhaps, worth noting that in
1881 that amount was nearly reached
in England, which in that year, silver
being legal tender only for sums less
than fl7, coined no less than 1897, l2S
