Of foYciga trade. The ocean vas the hlRh-
way of the world. The govssnmsnt could
control coastvise trade; IL could control
| ccumercs among the stases. but when ID
met foreign ships ON the high seas ID did
not meet with states, but with nations; IL
must not shackle its own merchants, bot
must give its merchants the same freedom
that the merchants Of England, France and
Germany enjoy. prAS
Miiliken af Maine inquired Why the
merchants Of Massaehusets should nct b
protected and not the ship ysrds Of Maine.
Char dier replied that he could answer
the question; bur would not do %, because
II would be useless task to attempt 10 cons
vince the gentleman. He opposed subsldse
because he believed they represented .
vicious principle. and were not In accord
With husinsss methods. He conssnded that
America should take advantage Of its
natural position and extend commerce.
not by following the EnRlish policy.
He believed in the independents American
policy. lie would have American ships
built in American yards, and would estAb-
lish regular mail lines. His substitute, he
said, provided that any merchant should
have . right TO buy ships In foreign mar
ket in order to do his business more econ
omicAlly. That was true business priu-
ciple.
Cummings OF New York addressed tho
committee In advocacy Of the bill - tending
to build up the American merchant marine
and extend the American commerce.
O'Neil Of Massachusetts entered protest
against the passage OF the bill, which pro-
posed to settle uron the tax payers Of the
country additional expense without pro-
portionate Pscompense. This bill was the
greatest humbug ever attempted. lt was
proposed BY the hot house process 70 -
vive American chipping. The government
should not 20 into partnership with every
man who wanted TO 10 into business.
Fitch Of New York opposed the bill. de-
ny ing that IL would prove any benefit 70 the
lAboripg man. The stock Of the Pacific
steamship line was yesterday quoted at 81.
this afternoon 1t 40 3 3. The stockholders
Of this company were honest laboring men
whom Congress was going 70 help. (Laush-
ter).
After further discussion the general
debate closed and the committee and House
took recess until 8 this evening.
At the evening session the House pro-
ceedcd in committee Of the whole to the
further consideration Of the general def

Pilgrim Congregational church in
Pomona The professor and his
wife Ca California girD are doing
good work at the college.
I can see very little difference be-
tween the society here in Pomona
and that in nv old home, in fact the
Congregational minister is New
Hampshire man, graduate of Dart
mouth, and his wife lady from Yer
mont, and the founders of the church
were people from Burlington.
The Pomona Land & Water COM
pany is composed of men from Yer
mont and their influence has brought
many of the yankees" into this sec
ton. Land is comparatively cheap
here considering the advantages we
have over other places. We are stu
ated 80 miles farther from the ocean
than Pasadena and the sea breezes
(Which we have every day in sum-
mer) are somewhat milder here and
makes the climate better adapted to
our fruits; we have few of the sand
storms" which make Riverside so
dusty at times. We have plenty of
water from three different sources:
furnish at all times an abundance of
water for city use and for irrigating
the dry lands. The barley hay which
is here used almost entirely for feed is
now being harvested. All deciduous
trees are setting their fruit and the
outlook is good for a large crop.
Oranges and lemons can still be found
hanging on the trees amid a mass of
the fragrant white flowers. Straw
berries are selling at three cents per
box and blackberries will soon be on
the market in quantities. There is
work for all in this valley at average
wages, but nothing grows here with
out work and hard work, lazy peo-
pie sometimes have to live on mush
and milk and wear old clothes.
Vermont is not bad place to live
in and know St. Johnsbury is good
enough to satisfy anyone who can
be satisfied. With best wishes for
the boom in "deserted farms"
lam, Sincerely Yours,

from the setting of Plato's i'm
mortal dialogues where the sym
metry. the glowing beauty, and the
mingling of intellectual and physical
discipline in the training of the
young Athenians was transfused
with the light of Socrates eager in
terest in the intellectual and moral
welfare of the young men, and the
whole stands out in the immortal
prose of Plato as gracefully and i'm
perishably depicted as are the scenes
of Greek life on that Grecian urn
which has been sung into a double
immortality by the exquisite verses
of Keats.
Yet there is difference. No young
Athenian removed by less than four
years from the boyish contests of
the gvmnasia, could have come back
from such work as claims the time
and engrosses the heart of the man
who gives us this field today. The
disinterested spirit of philanthropy
that helps men to help themselves by
opening the door of education to all,
in an institution such as the one
which your father founded which
bears his honored name and which
you superintend, had no place among
the ideals of even the noblest Athe-
MANS The Greek culture did not
know that spirit of unselfsh love
which reaches out to bless every man
as the brother.
Many noble idea in our modern
civilization we can trace to Greece
and Rome. But the browning glories
of civilization, such philanthropies as
your daily work typifes, draw their
radiant splendor from a higher
source 1.-The light that never was
on land or sea'-the light than
streamed from that green hill in
Palestine when the world was made
over by an uplifted cross, the scene
is Greek with difference. The gift
is from a Christian philanthropist
to the young men of Christian col
1ege, who gladly take it as good
gift to be held in trust-who are
bound by all that is good, and by
traditional standards of the inst1tu-
ton, to see to it that this field hears
only such language as gentlemen
may use and ladies may listen to !;
and that IN the honorable contests
here the curse of betting or gambling
against which the Christian church
is everywhere protesting, shall never
be tolerated even in its most petty
forms
This field will do good work for
Amherst college. In the name of the
college, 1 thank you for it. In the
name of these young men and of the
many who after them will keenly en-
JOY this generous gift of yours,
thank you. And now, in words
that for intensity of directness, for
their poignancy of appeal for the
quick accurate use of the very best Of
all ones energies, have acquired
significance we would gladly see
carried into its higher spheres of life,
1 say to you, as if the umpire were
in place, and the crowd breathless,
now young gentlemen, every man of
you, play ball."

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

How 1t Looks to St. JOhnSbury Boy.
When think how few of the people
who read the Caledonian know how
Southern California would look to
them could they but see the country
as it is today do not wonder a the
ideas entertained by them.
1t is true that much has been said
and written of this sunny land but l
never gained a very clear conception
of the facts as they are, first because
many of those who knew so much
about this state, had only seen our
beautiful valleys from the car Win
dows or from the veranda of some
tourists hotel and secondly be-
cause many Of the Eastern people
had bought land at the ruinous
"boom prices" and were "sick"
l have had something of a chance
to see the people who live here and
have had some experience in the
orange groves and on the sand sheep
ranges" AS 1 read of the signs of
improvements, which are being made
in Vermont, 1 can be pleased with
my own state, but things move fas-
ter On the Western coast and we
shall soon, at least, be on an equal
with the older portions of the coun-
try, both as regards wealth and in
telligence. One year ago l could
have driven three miles east of this
city and seen a tract of land which
an Eastern farmer would not have
taken as a gift-rough and sandy,
covered with bushes and weeds; to-

nice woven wire fence around 1T, a
fine large house and stable having
been built and about a thousand
fruit trees of all varieties growing
finely, under the stimulus of a nice
stream of water from the mountain
canon eight miles away. From the
cupalo of the building l see the mag
nifcent Chicago ranch" with its
10000 acres of level arabic land, to
say nothing of thousands of acres of
land among the rolling, green hills
stretching toward the ocean. The
town of Chino year ago consisted
of two or three barn like buildings
built by the owner of the ranch"
and it was a days work to get

more being planted. Gangs of men

ing and thinning the young plants.
Every person who will work is hired
at one dollar per day and board, and
men with families are quickly settled
and given work with better wages.
Three miles to the north of the
