chief seldom results. The Haymarket muir
ders were exceptional. 1t is difficult for
Americans to believe that in Germany the
Germans are so turbulent that the Govern
ment is compelled to deprive them OF their
nominal liberties for its own protection.
His DRY generally proves that measures OF
repression generate the wrongs they are in
tended to repress. Before the Socialist law
was adopted some of the ablest minds III
Germany were concerned with problems OF
government, and they had large following.
1t vas not considered that they constituted
q danger to the State. Nobody was afraid
of them But when Bismarck undertook to
punish the whole body of political theorists
for tine crime of Hodel and MODELLING they
necessarily became alarmed.
Instead of nursing IA party OF secret con
spira ,o;s and hiring an army Of policemen
to watch them he young Emperor now pro-
poses to remove all restraints on their
action and to see whether they will not
prove less dangerous when they are free to
act as they please. That is precisely the
course which would have been pursued in
this country, and all experience would have
been at fault if it had not answered. At the
same time it must not be forgotten that the
causes which gave birth to the Socialist
party, OF rather which embltterel its policy,
are still in full operation in Germany.
Labor is still ground to the earth by taxes
levied for the support of a prepOsterous
army and for the working of an artificial in
duStrial system. 1t is this which underlies
German socialism, and until the cause is re-
moved the effect may be felt.
The Emperor William is sanguine that
he VIII be able to remove the causes Of Ger
man discomfort by ameliorating the eondi-
ton of the lubnrer.

MORAL SENTIMENT.

Scarcely a day passes in which the public
may not read in the daily papers accounts
Of dishonesty. 1t is robbery here and
stealings there. A clerk Systematically pur-
loins money, sometimes by taking small
sums from the till in a mercantile establish
ment, at another by falsifying books and
stealing larger sums. The person who
scans critically the accounts which appear
from day to day will be surprised at the
magnitude Of the robberies in the aggre-
gate which are taking place. No doubt
there is a cause for the increase of crime
which is latterlv brought to light in San
Francisco but what is it? Is it because the
punishment Of crime has become uncertain?
Or are the moral feelings of the people
deadened? Has the love of money become
so great that men are tempted TO take it
when the opportunity offers, notwithstand-
ing there is some chance of punishment?
Possibly several causes combine to increase
the aggregate of crime which takes place in
this city. Unquestionably a few persons
look upon THEFT as a small matter. Others
believe the chances for detection and pun
ishment are uncertain, hence they run
risks which they would not under other
circumstances. We can punish the Yaga-
bond who rurloins q few dollars on the
street.-the man who has no friends, but
what certainty is there of bling able to pun
ish the man who robs his emp oyer of tens
of thousands Of dollars by systematically
classifying books, ana who has put by money
enough to employ lawyer who is expert in
the management of jury trials? Its notori-
Gus that most criminals OF this class escape
punishment Our attention has been called
to this subject from noticing recent case,
in which a Grand Jury had indicted two
persons Tor embezzement and grand larceny,
where it was charged by the defense that
the Grand Jury was composed Of narrow
minded men, who based their charges more
on prejudice than on evidence" Our object
is not to direct attention to any particular
case, but ii is curious idea where thefts of
large amounts have taken place ana books
have been Systematically fal>ifsd, that a
Grand Jury which indicts should be termed
marrow minded" What we desire to
show is that where a community permits its
notorious criminals tC escape punishment,
that community must expect to be robbed
and pluudered. II persons are permitted to
accumulate wealth by theft, and then
escape punishment. our citizens must eX-
pect low state of morals to prevail -

FOREIGN MISSIONS.
A Popular Meeting in the Work Is Hel'
at Calvary Church.

A Popular Meeting in the Work Is Held
at Calvary Church.
The large auditorium of Calvary Church,
corner of Geary aud Powell streets, was
well filled last evening with wcrshipers,
among whom were counted many strange
faces. 1t was a popular meeting in the ill.,
tereSts of foreign missions; hence the big
attendance. And yet the home missions
were not forgotten, for the synod had
of one was not lost sight of in the zeal eX-
pressed for the other.
Services began at I 80 o'clock, when Rev.
T. Chalmers Easton, D., pastor, Rev. L.
M. Condit of Los Angeles, Rev. Mr.. Nc
Donald, synodical missionary, and Rev. j.
l.. Russell of Los Angeles took seats in the
pulpit
Rev. DIR. Easton conducted the services.
He announced that the synod will resume
its labOrs at o'clock this morning, OPEN
ing with devotiona. exercises, and on
Wednesday there will be a young peoples
meeting.
Rev. Mr.. Mcdonald led the meeting in
prayer. His words were quite eloquent and
impressed the congregation deeply with
their fervOr and beauty. He prayed for
blessings upon the grand work undertaken
by missionaries, ut home and abr ad, and
for Gods grace and assistance that it would
prosper in all places
Rev. Ira NJ. C0ndit of Los Angeles, who
was formerly a missionary in CT ina, de
livered a brief address. In the course of his
remarks he said there are four great mission
airy fields in the world. First, the heart,
which he considered the most important {;
then the home. True missionary work be-
gins at home; and nothing is so near home
as the heart
There is no field equal to the home; but
the usefulness of missionary work does not
stop there. but will widen out to the church,
and then over all the country. After those
the greatest work Of all is among the tribes,
the heathens and new countries where the
light of Christianity has not been yet suffi-
GENTLY spread. The work of foreign mis-
sions is Il hopeful work. 1t is worthy OF all
Christian enthusiasm. as it was worthy of
the blood of the son of God.
Short addrrsse, were also delivered by
other members of the synod.

4 TRICK.

There appears to be a disposition upon
the part of certain persons, perhaps belong
ing to both political parties, to force the
nomination of candidates for the Legislature
with view to the choice of particular can
didate TO the United States Senate. THE
CALL believes that the Republican party
should not be committed to any such policy.
Candidates should be selected for the Legs
Iature of undoubted character-men who
will not engage in such swindles as we're
carried out by the last Legislature. II we
send good men TO the Legislature, unpledged
10 any particular candidate for the United
States Senate, the party can afford to wait
until the Legislature assemblies to dispose
OF that question. The situation may have
changed by that time. At any rate 1t is not
we'll at present to invite a struggle which
mag enable a Buckley Legislature to elect
one of their own men to the United States
Senate California cannot afford to permit
a Democratic aspirant for Senatorial honors
to drop into harness with Buckley and thus
place the State in such a shameful position
as it has occupied for two years past.

THE END OF THE SOCIALIST LAW.

The expiration Of the German law against
the Socialists brings matters in that empire
=. to focus. The law in question was orig
inally passed in 1873, in consequence of the
attempts of Hodel and Nobiling upon the
-Emperor's life. 1t prohibited public meet
ings, the publication of Socialist periodicals
and the possession or sale of arms except
with the sanction Of the police, and it was
SO studiously vague in its terms, the parties
against whom it was to be invoked being
designated as persons who make a business
of serving the aims of the Socialists" that
almost every citizen who took an interest in
public affairs was liable to be molested
under its provisions In point of fact, sew
eral Germans of note whose only crime was
that they did not believe in absolutism as
= system of government we're the subject of
prosecutions.
This law expired by limitation in 1880. 1t
was then renewed, under the assurance of
Bismarck that orderly government could
not be conducted without it, Till 1854; a fur
ther extension was then obtained till 1856,
and it was again renewed till 1890. The
Government over which General Won Capriyi
presdes now declares that it is not needed
any longer, and it has been allowed TO eX-
pire, TO the great joy of The Liberal party in
Germany, which is holding meetings and at
tending banquets to celebrate the suspicious
event.

meet and discuss their theories, and mis-

STATE DIVISION.

: There is in California no longer a question
of State division. Colonel Markham not
only declares that there is no demand on
the part Of the people Of the southern coun-
ties for a division of the State but cOnstrues
the Federal Constitution as absolutely pro-
libitlng State division. The first clause of
Section III, Article ", Of the Federal Con-
stituti0n is as follows:
. New states may be admitted by Congress into
this Union, but no new State shall be formed or
erected within the jurisdiction Of any other
Slate; nor shall any State be formed by the juno
tlOn Of TWO or more States or parts Of States
without the consent of the Legislatures of the
States concerned as well as OF Congress.
1t may fairly be held that the prohibition
against State division is absolute and that
the requirement Of the consent of the Legis-
latures of the States concerned and OF Con-
gress applies only to the junction of States
or parts of States. Having prohibited State
division the trainers of the Constitution may
have proceeded to prescribe the conditions
upon which junction Of two States or parts
of States might be effected. Our Democratic
= friends viii remember that when Texas was
admitted a clause was introduced into the
admission act reserving the right of the
State 10 divide itself. If the right was con-
stitutional no special clause would have
been necessary in the admission act. What
ever may have been the intention of the
trainers Of the Constitution public opinion
has declared in favor of the n0n-divisiOn
construction of the Constitution. Some of
the great States have at times pointed out
the hardship of being limited to the same
number Of Senators as are allowed to new
States with hardly population enough for a
single member of Congress, but no State
has ever cherished the idea of Increasing
its representation in the Senate by the
process of State division. If State division
were considered possible thing the South
ern st ties might so divide themselves as to
wipe out the Republican majority in the
" Senate 1t might be held that if a State
wished to divide itself the consent Of Con-
gress should be considered mere matter of
: form. But State division once admitted
: there would be no certain end to it. New
and small States have two Senators for one
Representative in the Lower House. Under
the rule Of State division the old States
might so divide themselves that the number
of their Senators should about double the
number Of REPRESENTATIVES. Colonel MARI
hams construction Of the section of the
Constitution we have quoted is the only
Que that is safe. Texas stipulated for the
right to divide, but has never claimed it, and
it is certainly not clear that there is any
constitutional provision for the division Of
any other State.

Kinley bill, which it conceives TO have been
passed with the avowed purpose OF coercing
Canada into severing her connection with
the British Empire and becoming part OF
the United States. The Halifax journal
does not seem to agree with Sir John Mae
donald that Canada can get along pretty
well without the markets of the United
States. That journal is clearly mistaken in
the suppostion that the Mckinley bill was
passed with any purpose to dismember the
British Empire. 1t was passed simply that
certain articles of manufacture which under
our present rate of duties have been i'm
ported from Europe may hereafter be pro-
duced in the United States. The American
people would be divided on proposition to
admit Canada into the Union on terms that
the American Congress might dictate.
