time that the expenses have been in
creased at this prohigate rate the
revenues have been greatly diminished,
while the surplus has already been re-
placed by a deficit, special interests have
been enormously lowered, our COM
mercial relations with Europe have been
strained, the country has been forced
into the unconstitutional business Of be-
slowing bounties and subsidies and the
maturing four per cent. bonds, il paid,
will drain the treasury, and if extended,
will commit the country to continu-
ance of the national bank policy. 1t is
risking little to assume that in a fail
political field, with a ballot free of Repub-
lican corruption funds, and count thas
would fairly register the result, the Re
publican party would be beaten before
the people on any one OF these counts
What their collective force will be il
would be hard TO imagine. That magic
phrase, the corrupt and profigatt
"Billion Dollar Congress, is one of the
happiest thoughts ever put into few
words. The attempt to pare down the
Republican appropriations million o.
so only emphasizes their tremendous
magnitude.

Sensible Sermon.

Two Peculiar Sermons in Los Angeles
neutrality-suspicious. From Ortho-
dOxy in Different Directions
Church Notes of Interest.

Rev. j. H. Phillips, the popular young
east side pastor of the creedless church,
had large congregation yesterday
morning, and preached an eloquent and
sensible sermon explaining their pecu-
liar beliefs.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Rev. T. E. Mason, pastor of the First
Church of Christ, of Brooklyn, N Y,
and teacher of Christian science,
delivered lecture at the Illinois hall
last night. before very large audience.
The speaker began by saying that
Christian science has been ostracized
by the world at large. 1t took 300 years
for the teachings of Calico to be ac-
cepted. The Christian science teaches
the living Christ and not the dead Naz-
arene. 1t teaches that sickness, sin
and death are abnormal conditions of
man. God knows nothing of these
things, and he lifts the mind of man
above them. God is not the author of
sin and death.
In the first and second chapters of
Genesis we read of two creations-one
in which man is made in the image of
God, and the other in which he is made
from dust, and this second is the man
OF flesh.
The Christian science holds only to
love, truth and life. Nowhere in the
New Testament do we find an instance
where Christ used material methods
and deeds to cure the sick. Christian
science, therefore, repudiates all ma
terial aids.
Christian Science says man is, always
has been and always will be perfect.
Orthodoxy says that the kingdom of
heaven is coming. Therefore, the king
dom of hell is here at present. The
Christian Science teaches that the king
dom of heaven is here now.
God made heaven and not hell, good
and not evil, life and not death. God
is no Father if He made sin, sickness
and death.
Man expresses all the attributes OF
God. If there are any attributes which
he does not express. then man does not
know God. Orthodoxy alone says we
cannot be like God. Christian Science
repudiates this, and teaches that what
Jesus did all men can do.
The greatest objection which Chris
tian Science meets with is from minis
tiers and doctors. The doctors admit
that it can heal, but say it does SO by
hvpnotism. Rev. Mason states that
l75 per cent of the healing is at present
done by hypnotism. The best evidence
ofits power is shown in Massachusetts
and New York, where the doctors have
petitioned the state legislatures to pro-
tect them against it.

sweethearts, took place yesterday at

He Could Sympathize.

was walking along street given
over to the smallest of shops and almost
the cheapest of restaurants, when l met a
good looking ten-year-old boy in shabby
respectable clothes.
1t was autumn, and carried bunch
of flaming. splendid maple leaves. He
stopped, as if the sight of them really
took his breath away.
"Oh, give me one," he gently ex-
claimed, in a manner that was more
than polite. 1t lifted our interview
straightway into some rare, superhuman
atmosphere, where perfect simplicity
became a matter of course. Unfor-
tunately this was not SO becoming to me
as to him. .t.
said, "Oh, hate tor but at the
same time began looking for the mean

discovered and was presenting it, shame
overcame me, and torn with conflicting
emotions, said: ht

masculine, comforting manner 81

TEE principle upon which any public
official, or quasi-public official, or con-
tractor, proceeds in his dealings with
the people of Los Angeles, is a simple
one. He assumes that they will stand
any sort of imposition; and, presto, he
ests them up TO the maximum of en-
durance. Our streets are cess-pools at
many places, and particularly those in
the heart of the city. The excrementi-
tious filth OF horses is something utterly
unbearable at places. Then there is
the official who is charged with the re-
moval of garbage. His wagons are never
washed; and, as consequence, thew
emit an effluvium that is iadescribablv
foul. If the same care were given to
these noisome vehicles that livery
stable keeper bestows upon every buggy
that comes into his place after drive,
things would be far more tolerable. All
this rancid filth is allowed to cling to
these wagons and tester, and taint the
air with carefully cultivated and null
tiplied fetid rankness. Water is the
grand panacea for dirt. Without il
every dairy would be sink OF pollution
Without its oopious use these carts
smell rank to heaven. This gross abuse
ought to be remedied instanter.

PROBABLY few men in his day have
had as much health as James G. Blaine,
what between ill-health and good
health, and intermediate stages of the
two. He has cultivated quite number
of physical conditions and their accom-
panying hygienic treatments. There
was the Mulligan letter hygiene, the
pathologic developments being charac-
terized by highly effective sunstroke
and fainting scene in the vestibule of
Washington church. Copious doses
of radical public sympathy, of the kind
labeled, "We know how it is our
Selves" helped the eminent statesman
through this crisis of his public career.
He has lately favored the South Ameri-
can anodyne called Limited Reciproc-
ity." 1t takes good deal OF remedies
OF one kind or another to keep the
Plumed Knight on his feet, if all ac-
counts are to be believed. The bulle-
tins as to his state OF health keep
coming in at an alarming rate,
and the accounts of his ailments
run anywhere from Bright's disease OF
the kidneys to cerebro spinal meningitis.

THE usual large crowds went down to
the seaside yesterday. At Santa Monica
the programme was seriously interfered
with by the roughness of the surf, which
was really something out of the COM
mon. The barrel swimming races did
not come off, because it was impossible
to get the barrels out to the raft, the
breakers overturning boats and barrels.
Altogether, it was quite an unusual ex-
perience at place where old Neptune is
wont to smooth his wrinkled front and
do the gracious act.

LEADING Republican papers are

LEADING Republican papers are en-
gagged just now in trying to break the
force of the arraignment embodied in
the phrase "Billion Dollar Congress. ,"
There is coined at times word or a
sentence that embodies a story that
would require columns to tell as satis-
factorily, and this is one of them. The
New York Tribune has gone about, in a
laborious way, to show that the sum ap-
propriated by the Fifty-frst Congress in
reality amounted to only $988, 200, 900.
That is to say it fell $12,OOO,OOO short of
the round billion. According to this
showing it only costs $494, 100000 a
year to run the government up to the
exacting Republican standard. This,
however, makes no allowance for
deficiency bills, which will doubtless
carry the amount much beyond the
billion dollar mark. At the same

He knew it was not SO easy to find an

THE earthquakes at Yuma seem to
have had the phenomenal effects re-
corded in the earlier dispatches. The
tidal wave at the mouth of the Colorado
river, by credible accounts, must have
been fully one hundred feet high, while
a short distance below Yuma it attained
= height of eighty-fve feet. The Pc
culiar seismic and other goings on in
this part of the A merican continent are
attracting the att ention of scientists in
all quarters of the world. The Salton

The complaint is indecent exposure to
seven women and one girl. The offenses
were committed day before Yesterday

CHINO.

A stage line has been established be-
tween Chino and Pomona by the Po-
mona board of trade, making three
round trips daily. 1t is a four-horse af-
fair and looks quite imposing.
1t seems to be an established fact that
the factory will commence operations
about the last of next week. A large
force of men is at work day and night,
putting things through to completion.
People often ask where is Chino? Is
that where they are building sugar
factory? How, do you get there? What
direction is it from Los Angeles? The
factory at Chino is huge, symmetrical
building and may be seen with ease by
the traveller, if, when he is on the
Southern Pacific train, between Ontario
and Pomona, he will cast his
eye to the south, where it raises its
stately proportions Cor smoke stacks
high in air and reigns in silent grandeur.
The trees in the avenue are looking
and doing very well, and in time this
street will make one of the most delight
full boulevards in the world.
Gird & Fenner's new brick building
will be under full headway in a few
days. This will be very superior
building, 49xS0, two stories high, and
will cost, when completed, in the neigh
borhood OF $4,000.

enjoyable entertainment on Thursday
