A WISE NEUTRALITY.

While be has not shirked the duty of nm
American citizen in expressing his views of
public affairs when asked to do so, there is
not a man in New York who has less to do
with party management than Mr.. Cleye.
land. He has absolutely held himself aloof
from entangling alliances. Amid the
wrangling and pulling and hauling of Dem
ocratic partisans the like of which cannot
be seen outside the city and State of New
York he has maintained a dignifed silence
and a wise neutrality. With all the fas-
cination of political warfare, local power
and the most strenuous efforts of party
henchman to involve him on one side or the
other, be has maintained his position with
out waverIng.
If that were by design Mr.. Cleveland
could be set down as one of the most astute
politicians of the age. But it is the charac-
teristic OF the man. What others might do
for an ulterior purpose is the result of Mr..
Cleveland's nature. You can trace it all
through his political life. In this cnarac-
teristic lies his political strength. He never
ran political machine-he is not running
political machine now. He never con-
fused the public servant with the party
boss. The methods of the Quays and
Platts of politics are foreign to his ideas
aud unknown to his political history.
1t is this which has earned him the sneers of
a certain portion OF his party, who con-
tempnously alluded to him as no politician.
1t is this, however, which has also earned
him the respect and confidence OF a great
majority of those who supported him for the
Presidency and considerable minority of
those politically opposed to him. 1t is
really this which shows the true breadth and
depth of his political character. To the
politician, as the politician is known in
New York, Mr.. Cleveland is q sphinx.

One OF the monthly features OF gener al

giving the so-called figures of merit" of
every organization in the National Guard of
this State, now comprising sixty companies
and four signal corps in as many brigades
In the n. Il. G. company is composed of
not less than so nor more than 103 officers
and prvates, and a regiment of not less
than six nor more than ten companies,
though as matter of fact there is not one
regiment of ten companies tho Third In

pany attached to the First Infantry, making
the total number of companies six, but it is
not included in the figures of merit
When one.compares, however, the figures
of the National Guard of California as it
might be. ana as it is on paper, the figures
of merit are really not longer such. and
one cannot escape the conclusion that the
State is not receiving the worth of its money.
Take the Second Brigade, which is the
flower OF the division. and were it recruited
to IFS authorized strength there would be
something like a brigade of 1890 company
officers and men, yet it numbers only 60 per
cent Of that number, or 1905. The follow
ing table shows that the National Guard Of
California is only recruited up to little
above IS per cent of its authorized maximum
strength. 1t will be OF moro interest, FER

HIS GRACE'S VISIT.
Archbishop Riordan's Reception
at Santa Clara.
an Entertainment Given in His Hcnor-The
Students Floral Tributes-lddress
by the Guest.

A pleasant surprise was accorded the stu
dents of Santa Clara College by the visit of
his Grace, the Most Rev. p. w. Riordan
d D., of San Francisco, which occurred on
last Friday.
The occasion was made an enjoyable one
by the welcome extended by the students,
and in honor Of the event an entertainment
was given on the same evening at which his
Grace. accompanied by Rev. Joseph SASHA,
Sd, the President, and also the faculty of
the college with many of the secular clergy
were present.
After a short musical programme a floral
presentation was made to his Grace which
was followed by J. T. McElroy, S. B.. in an
able address of greeting. G. II. JeSSen de-
liyered a pOetical address Of welcome.
Not alone on account Of the ~ thnllc quail
ties was the poem valued, but for its faith
full adherence to historical fact concerning
the church.
HIS GRACE's RESPONSE.
The closing address of the evening was de-
livered by his Grace, and was thoroughly
appreciated by the students. After a few
warm remarks in response to his feeling re-
ceptiOn, he told the students how they could
make their school lives happy and profitable,
so that when the time arrived for them to
leave the protecting arms of their alma
mater they could achieve more successful
career in the world.
The Archbishop urged upon his youthful
audience the practice OF fidelity in their
scholastic duties, for it was not he whose
brilliant genius astOnished bis fellow class
mates that in after life is most successful,
but the careful, painstaking student, who
had a definite object constantly in view, and
steadily pursued his answering course to-
ward that end that ultimately achieved
prominence.
BRILLIANT EXAMPLES CITED,
"Wasniugtnn and Lincoln" said he, ARE
| the most prominent men in the history of
| our own country, and without possessing
! that dazzling genius that marked the intel
! Ircts Of other statesmen, yet by their patient
! devotion to definite purpose, their con-
slant labor to obtain a fixed result, success
fully performed the duties devolvlng upon
the chief magistrate of the nation.
"At the outset, the student should con-
suit these Of II ore experience than himself
in the choice of a vocation, and after ascer-
tanning by careful examination his fitness
for the chosen calling steadily pursue the
object of bis ambition with unfaltering de-
votion. and in time his efforts would meet
with the award of successful accomplish
ment."
In conclusion his Grace urged above all
things to be faithful to religious duties, as
students and as men, so that the days which
marked the close of their earthly careers
would be productive of peaceful happiness
awaiting the reward OF eternal bliss beyond
the portals of mortality.
