FORCE Is A POOR WEAPON.
Baltimore Divine Inveig
Against Religious LegislaLiOn.

BALTIMORE, March Rev. DIR. Tobias
Schanfarber lectured today on Religious
Movements in Congress-" He said the
introduction of bills ssvoring of religion
will shake the very foundation of our
Government, and work for the establish
ment of anarchy. These legislators for
get, in their zeal for their religion, tb at
they are endangering the existence of
our grand national structure. The
standards of their religion are pes
simistic, full of darkness and
gloom, and where its precepts are
not strong enough to require adherence,
they would call in the strong arm of the
Government for their heavenly work.
Not by all the Blair Sunday rest and
educational bills that we're ever devised,
will condition of affairs be instituted
to the credit of the Government and
mankind; not by joining our free public
schools to the church or non-sectarian
Christianity, will the millennium be-
brought about. Force is poor weapon.
We have enough law. We want more
liberty. Chain the mind OF free
thinking man and it will soon break
through and hurt the tyrant.

A DIR WIN BATTLE.
Tommy ward and the English Kid
EquaIIZe Zach Other.

New ORLEANS, March 2.-Tommy
Ward, of Cincinnati, and Charles Viii.
son, the English Kid, met today in a
fight under Queensbsrry rules, with FIVE
ounce gloves, to q finish. They fought
an hour and half, the last four rounds
by lamp light, and the referee deca
it draw, with the unwilling consent of
the men. In the seventeenth the Kid
got in some clever blows on Wards
mouth; the latter grew desperate and
fought back at close quarters. His length
of reach and strong right told, and at the
end of minutes rapid exchanges the
Kid was groggy and nearly knocked out.
He came back gamely and got the best of
the next round. In the nineteenth
Ward nearly knocked the Kid through
the ropes with highlander on the
neck. The men kept up lively gait un-
til the end of the twenty-second, which
also wound up with rapid fighting on
both sides, but no knock out. The
referee suggested draw. The crowd OBJ.
jected, but the police cast deciding
vote in favor of tie. The $4OO purse
accordingly was divided. The Kid dis
played a swollen right hand, and says he
broke it in the fifth round.

BLINDING SNOW.
A Terrific Storm Prevailing at
New Work,

New York, March "A binding
snow storm set in at 8 O'Clock tonight,
accom- panied by brisk south wind.
Many accidents. due to falls on slippery
sidew walks. were recorded, at the various
police stations and police hospitals before
midnight. At midnight the snow is still
falling.
The snow has blocked the street.car
tracks pretty effectually, and even the
elevated railroads have suffered, the
binding snow making it necessary to
run slowly. On the Brooklyn bridge,
rrainmen and police suffered severely.
Ferry boats on the East and North rivers
are compelled to proceed with the great
est care.
THE STORM IN NEW ENGLAND.
BosToN, March "A heavy storm has
been raging since early this afternoon.
About seven inches of snow has fallen.
Advices from Cape Cod report the worst
storm of the winter, accompanied with
severe southeast gale. At Newport,
Rhode Island, the storm is the heaviest
that has visited the city in years. Dis
patches from Portsmouth, N. H., and
New Bedford, Mass, also report heavy
snow falls.
New HAVEN, Conn.,, March 2-The
storm here is increasing in fury and vio-
lence, and high wind prevails. Six

THE silver question is of more direct
interest to the farmer than to any other
class. In the first place, he is generally
IN debt, and in tight money market it
is harder to pay off debt of So 900 than
one OF $1,000 in flush times. The whole
Northwest is mortgaged, and the farmers
there are simply hewers of wood and
drawers of water to the Capitalist
classes. The California husband man
also knows what it is to be in debt. Bus
this ls not the only interest the farmer,
and particularly the California farmer,
has in silver. The low price of wheat
dates from the demonetlzation of silver,
and the explanation of this fact is very
simple. The nefarious legislation
OF 1873 enabled the London mer-
chant to buy silver bullion at q
steadily falling price. He next pro.
ceeded to get his commodity coined into
rupees, which he used in India as money
at its face value in payments for the
wheat which came in competition with
that grown by the California and other
American farmer. Going back to 1873,
and comparing the price of his wheat in
the leading markets of the world, the
California granger will find that ~ silver

The Citrus Fair.

Few things have been undertaken in
this city for long time that have evoked
30 much energy and enthusiasm as the
citrus fair to open here one week from
tomorrow. All districts in this section
manifest disposition to do all possible
to put display before the public that
will fairly represent the citrus orchards
of each locality. The fact that there is a
prize of $500 to compete for has much to
do with this emulation on the part of the
several communities. A body of thor
oughly competent men has been selected
as judges, and they are in all respects as
trustworthy as they are intelligent.
There need be no misgivings on the point
of fair play.
A new departure will be made by this
committee in this respect: The pre-
miums will be awarded before the fair
opens, and then during the entire
period of its existence the winning ex-
hibit will be there to show for itself.
To the eyes of visitors from the East
this display of oranges and kindred varie-
ties OF fruits will be an exponent of what
the section can do in this great fruit in
dustry. 1t can be made of such vast
proportions, and of such quality that no
doubt will exist as to the suitableness of
the California semi-tropics for orange
culture.
During the time the fair is open the
State Fruit Growers Association will
meet here to discuss matters cognate to
that organization. All parts of the State
will be represented, and it will be an ex-
cellent opportunity for those from the
north to see at one glance Just what we
can do here in the way of citrus culture.
They will see exhibits from fifty locali-
ties, stretching from Santa Barbara to
San Diego, and back to the Colorado
desert. Half dozen contiguous coun.
ties will be here with samples of fruit
from many districts in each. The area
represented will embrace many mill
ions OF acres-not including
the non-tillable rough mountain
land. the arid desert, or the swamp
but many millions of acres, on every
acre of which the orange, lime and lemon
flourish.
During the week following the State
Convention of School Teachers will meet
in this city. The fair may easily be

ANXIOUS BOOMERS
Waiting to POunce Upon the
Cherokee Lands.

Cherokee Lands.
GUTHRIE, T., March 2.-The pros
pect of the early delivery of the
Cherokee strip to home.seekers is at
tracing large numbers of ''boomers. ,"
The Walnut river, from Arkansas City
to the northern boundary of the
strip, is already lined with
boomers, and arrivals occur every
day. The rush into the Cherokee
land will equal that into Oklahoma.
At this place, on the southern boundary
of the strip, boomers are beginning to
arrive in great numbers, choos-
ing the banks of the Cot
tonwood river as temporary
homestead. The recent norther, with
it's severe cold, caused some suffering
among the poorly housed people, out no
fatalities are reported. The boomers
who are camped around Guthrie will
have a double chance of securing free
land-one chance at the Cherokee strip,
the other at the Iowa reservation. Tne
Iowa Indians recently determined to take
up land in severalty, aud sell the re-.
mainder of their reservation to the Gov
ernment. When the Indians have taken
their allotted amount of land, there will
remain 200, 900 acres of land, quite as
fertile as any yet opened to settlement
in the Southwest.

vete ON the sewer Bends.

@Ae sfO SiOoO OA AOAb WOCA thC NOtOAb VI
this city will be called upon to pass upon
matters of the very highest concern to
the whole population. 1t is the voting
of bonds to the extent of million and a
half dollars for the purpose of sewering
the city, constructing an outfall and
building storm-water drains.
OF course that is not all the expense
connected with the voting of these
bonds. The inside system of sewers
proposed is only the main conduits. To
make these of any avail to the house.
holders an elaborate system OF
branches must be built in the several
streets to connect with these, and then
the house connection must be made in
the case of each and every house in the
city that is to benefit by the system.
The cost of lateral sewers in the streets
will not be less than 81 per front foot on
all lots along the several streets. The
cost of connecting the houses will range
at $25 to $40 each. 1t is quite safe to say
that the expense will be $75 to 500 for
each house to be benefited by this new
system of sewers. If the work is to stop
there the call for money will be large.
1t will furnish work to all the unem.
ployed labor in the city.
There is quite sufficient in these few
facts to call for full expression of the
popular will in deciding the question. II
is particularly incumbent on the tax.
payers to vote yes or no on each of the
three propositions. Next week, OF
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 18th
l4th and 18th OF March, the vote is to be
taken. An appeal is being made, some
what regardless of logic, to the working
element, particularly to that portion oi
the laborers who are always in want, to
vote yes on all propositions. The polit-
ical ring that controls the Offices in city
and county will use every effort to
get out every vote that can be had
to carry all these bonds, with the view of
securing their own reelection. That is
not fair proposition to the taxpayers.
1t is therefore incumbent on every man

things if he has a vote. 1t is for him to
say whether any or all of the plans sub.
mitted will benefit him, whether he can
afford to pay for all these Improvements
at this time, whether they would not be
better separated by the space of year,
even if they all are 10 be finally carried
out, whether the present Council is
qualified to be trusted with any or all
these gigantic schemes, whether
he is willing to give those
who hold office the power to
secure their own reelection, and many
other considerations of the same nature.
Even intelligent laborers might we'll
hesitate and consider whether after all
their interests will not be best subserved
by doing these improvements without
immoderate haste, and in such way as
not to tempt in outside contractors who
will do all the work with cheap foreign
labor, 80 that the resident lsborers will
be left out in the cold.
1t will be closely contested matter
and all ought to vote.
