pearance as the organ of the First Metho-
dist church and with Rev. Levi Gilbert,
ID, pastor of that church, as editor. In
form it is a six-column folio and it is hand

drops gracefully into Latin and instead of
saying ''morituri salutamus'' who are
about to die salute you-says I'VE, who are
not about to die, we the potent organ of

JUDGE DoUTHITT ON CALIFORNIA.
Gouid's Combine Will Hurt It-Stanford
and the Senate.

and the senate.
Judge D. William Douthitt, with his
wife, daughter and son, Edward A.
Douthitt, arrived in the city yesterday on
the steamer Queen, and is at the Grand
hotel. Judge Douthitt is the owner OF the
Douthitt building on Second street, and
has been to San Francisco to bring his
family to Seattle with the intention OF
making his home here. He had an ex-
tremely rough passage, rougher than ne
ever had. One night the steamer was laid
on her side by the force. of the wind and
waves, and Judge Douthitt was thrown
violently against the side of his berth, the
right side of his face bieng badly bruised.
In an interview with EN-
GER reporter he said:
Things are very quiet at San Francisco
and very little is being done in real estate,
though values are held up well. The gem
eral opinion there seems to be that the
railroad combination removes all prospects
OF railroad TO compete with the Southern
Pacinc, and delivers the city into the
power of that corporation. On Puget
sound the Great Northern and Canadian
Pacisc will insure competition with the
roads controlled by Gould, and will pre-
vent the combination from having prelu-
dicial effect on this section.
stanford is sure of reelection to the
Senate, for he practically owns the legisla-
ture. He made a personal canvass OF the
state and spent his money without stint.
Huntington's control of the Southern Pa
ci.c prevents the employees of that road
from taking an active part in politics, and
Stanford had to make his light unaided.
Charges of bribery have been made against
him, but he pleaded his privilege as 9
senator when the papers were served on
him. When the Legislature meets he will
no doubt be reelected, and no more Will
be heard of the charges. Though the
Southern Pacil.c is out of politics now, it
would probably take an active part in
them again if any matter came up di-
j rectly affecting the interests of the road.
Although | am Democrat, | was glad
to sec the defeat of Buckley in San Fran

the city in the palm of his hand, and even
controlled the drawing of juries. O'Don-

chronic candidate, and has large follow
ing among the irresponsible element Of the
voters. He went around the streets max
ing speeches from a wagon, distributing
circulars and copies of paper he pub
lished. His methods are those of the sell
Ter of quack nostrums and the sandlot ora

morality. the better ii will be both for in
dividuals and nations. Parnell in the
name of the thought that his continued
leadership is absolutely essential to the
Lnal success of home rule, may play his
game of bluff and brass; he may pick up
one ball after another of the whole set
marked politics" or "home rule" and
drive them straight at the upright pins
labeled morality, purity, the sanctity OF
the house; but somehow he will Ind that
he lacks the skill; the balls will not go as
he sends them; the pins still stand defiant
in their places: his game is done. He will
Ind that the worlds progress does not
really turn on any one man: and that
though the triumph of home rule may be
retarded by his fall, it will at length, pot
wlthstanding, surely come. The populace
of Dublin, following in the lead of his
carriage drawn by some of their number,
may, in grim sarcasm, cry God Save Ire
land!" bat not in condoning the crime of
the leader they applaud, not in violating
but IN observing the moral law, viii God
save Ireland" or any other people. And
that sin, be it remembered, is no safer for
this country, or for this city, than for any
other.
Still the majestic imperial words of the
divine Lord sound forth: 81 came not TO
destroy, but to fulfill" He comes not in
the spirit and mission Of an iconoclast,
to break down the ancient law, "but to
fulfill" On this holy errand He still goes
forth, conquering and to conquer. Before
the tremendous, mighty sweep OF this law
full ling purpose, all disobediences must
fall, all profaners of the commands and
prohibitions of Gods holy law must go
down. 1t matters not who the man may
be, how high his ability, how eminent his
service; against him, if need be, Christ
will do what He came TO do; He will ''ful-
ILL.," Woe be to him who shall defy His
nd cfa nd in lie
And now abideth politics, popularity
and morality; but the greatest of these is
morality.

SO TALENT so lost the light withdrawn

Falls back in night

Fiend-goaded, down the endless dark,
From hope and heavenl
Let not the land once proud of him
Insult him now,
Nor brand with deeper shame his dim,
Dishonored brow.
But let its humbled sons, instead,
From sea TO lake,
A long lament, rs for the dead,
In sadness make.
OF all we loved and honored, naught
Save power remains
fallen angels pride of thought,
Still strong in chains
All else is gone from those great eyes
The soul has fed
When faith is lost, when honor dies,
The man is dead!
There, pay the reverence OF old days
To his dead fame:
Walk backward, with arrested gaze,
And hide the shame

The following production comes from
the pen of Mr.. Rockwell and contains
some interesting little fragments con-
nected with his recent trip abroad
MoHILL, COUNTY LEITRIM,
Ireland, July 20, 1890.
With sweet recollections of the domestic
apartments furnished by widow Moriarity
at Longford There are many fine widows
in Longford), turned my steps in the di-
rection of Dromod, where arrived Satur-
day at 2 o'clock There / changed from
the main line to the narrow gauge road
recently constructed from Cavan to Ros-
common and procuring ticket for Mohill
l was soon in my compartment with
three jolly cattle men, and as the sound of
the station masters whistle gave the warn
ing for start was soon upon my jour
ney for dear old Mohill, but six miles
away. AS the train sped on the thoughts
of home and all my friends in New Haven,
who had emigrated from here to cast their
| lot in the land of the free, whose arms
were ever open to receive them, and where
| they have made for themselves happy
| homes.
| At 3 o'clock the sound that reached me
| as the train stopped at station was No
| hill. And here, possibly the first in
! long time, genuine Yankee was breath
| ing the pure air of this salubrious climate.
Having secured room at Burns hotel
| sauntered about the town, looking into the
shop windows, ogled its pretty girls, read
| the familiar namas on the signs over the
shop doors, many of which are familiar to
me in New Haven. 1 had some pleasant
conversations among the citizens, many of
| ,.n 4
aunts in New Haven. After general
look at the town returned to my hotel for
the night and after a good rest Gt is
quiet town. rcse early Sunday morning
to the sound of the church bell for early
mass. After partaking of good mutton
chop, a pair Of fresh eggs and fine pot of
tea. 1 started out for the home of an old
| ACQUAINTANCE whom I expected to meet
here. He had returned, I am sorry
to say, to New Haven, but in
his stead found his aged
1 fauIte. y and with the best seat in the
house. Her son Michael came in, fine
specimen of manhood, and, after arraying
himself in his Sunday best, we went down
the road and up through the village to the
beautiful church on the hill, where mass
was celebrated. It is needless to say that
my presence was soon known to the entire
congregation, and at the close of
the mass for once in my life was
the observed of all observers.
I spent the afternoon in walking
about again. In the evening I went to
the Church of Ireland, a very pretty chapel
pleasantly located in the very heart Of the
town. After church I returned to my
hotel for my second evening in Mohill.
Monday morning at 10 found me bidding
adieu to the village dear to the heart Of
thousands, and which has contributed in
no small degree to the industry, enterprise
and intelligence of New Haven.

those of Harmon Lane and Norman Platt
of this city. A committee on nominations
consisting of H. R. Chaffee, Theodore Col
stem and f. o. Seeley was appointed. The
meeting then developed into an informal
| affair, and for half an hour a general
| 'handshaking' was in order. The appear
ance of Mr. George Mallory, who is an
honorary member, was the signal for APP
| plause.
George w. Bacon, another honorary
member, was also cordially received. w.
| R. Palmer Of this city exhibited photo
graph of himself in uniform taken twenty
years ago. At 1:30 o'clock the veterans
