To the People of Missouri.

Two years ago an organization was
incorporated to provide a Home for in
| digent ex-Confederates, their wives,
widows, and orphans. In this time
over $4,000 has been given by ouI
united people, regardless of political
creed or of the side on which they
have bought a farm of 362 acres at
Higginsville, Lafayette County, for
SIS, 500. Eleven 3-room cottages have
been built, costing So, $50; storehouse
built, at 800, and other improvements
added-with horses, cows. beef-cattle,
hogs, etc, costing about So, 500 more.
The buildings bought with the farm
are easily worth $4,000. This makes
our Confederate Home property worth
now about $4,000.
On our farm we have this year rails
ed all our breadstuffs; feed for stock
and hogs. and all the vegetables need
ed for the year. The cottages are fill
ed with happy families. Each family
has COW, and makes its own butter,
and will cultivate its own garden this
spring. Twelve childrdn are going to
school. The ladies of Lafayette County
are building church, to cost 81, 200,
to be used also as a schoolhouse.
To this home over fifty men, women
and children have been sent, and are
now comfortably clothed, housed and
fed by the generous people of our great
State We estimate that there are 250
more to be cared for.
The Women of Missouri have assum-
ed the work of erecting the Main Build
ing, to cost about $50, 900, and they
have already raised S15,957. God has
blessed them in this great work, sane
titled by their tears and consecrated by
their prayers.
Our task is to raise an endowment
fund to support our old comrades, and
send their helpless children TO school.
Most of this money has been raised
in the cities and towns. To give every
man chance to share in this great
charity, We now, at this school election,
appeal to every School District in the
State to contribute ten dollars or more
to help maintain these old soldiers and
their families, who have no right to
any government for aid.
We are proud of our success thus far,
and those who have already given are
well rewarded by the feeling that they
have saved so many from starvation
and cold.
We call your attention to the follow
ing editorial from the St Louis Repub-
ltc of January 80, 1892:
The movement to establish Home
for disabled ex-Confederate soldiers in
this State has been we'll managed and
has made good beginning. A little

Address Delivered By Mr.. J. Mark
ham Before the S. S. Convention.

How shall the Teacher fit himself for
| his work?
| /. By self-examination for the pur-
pose of ascertaining what are the true
motives which move him to engage in
it. Let him ask himself the following
questions and others of similar import:
Do | teach merely from a sense of dutyP
Because have been appointed to teach ?
To maintain my standing among my
fellow church members? Or do
| teach because l love the work? Be
| cause / wish to contribute my part to-
ward bringing the children and youth
of my neighbors and all others under
the saving influence of the Gospel? In
short, does the love of Christ constrain
me to teach? This exercise faithfully
persisted in till the latter questions can
be satisfactorily answered in the affirm
ative, namely, that he is in love with the
work, that he is, in doing it, rendering
loving obedience to the Great Head
of the Church and helping to build up
the cause of Christ, will prove an eff
cient means of fitting him for his work
2. He must cultivate a habit of
studying that he may be able to read
with understanding and discrimination
the best books and periodicals treating
upon the Bible and all subjects having
a bearing thereon, and thereby qualify
himself to present plainly and emphat-
ically the important points of the les
son, as well as to answer all questions
that are capable of being answered,
finite comprehension; also, to show
that the fact that some questions con-
cerning the Bible cannot be answered
by finite minds, no more initiates
against the truth of revelation, than
the fact that the volume of nature con-
tains mysteries too profound for the
greatest philosophers to solve proves
that God is not its author.
A teacher who can be absent from
the S. School without a valid reason, |
or who does not seek opportunities in |
the daily intercourse of life to speak |
"a word in season" to his pupils even |
to the extent of visiting them at their
homes at suitable times, does not furn- |
ish the best of evidence of being fitted |
for his work.
Prayer for that wisdom that COM |
meth from above" and for success in |
the use of means, can not be neglected |
without loss.
And now in conclusion, let me add, |
that many-perhaps a large majority |
of so-called teachers-may pursue the |
course indicated above and still make !
very sorry teachers, of whom it may |
be said, they have mistaken their call i
ing, to which remark the intelligent. |
superintendent may re-
ply, true. but at present we can't do |
any better than to use them.

yer bullion of S7ll grains is below par

lion when he returns to New York to
sell his bill of exchange. You must
remember, no trader ever carries coin
or bullion across the ocean, either way.
All balances are settled by banks with
bullion, never with coin Whether it
is coined or not, it goes as bullion, and
bear in mind, trans-ocean merchants do
not trade for fun as long SIS they can
make a profit in something else. So
your fears that gold viii be sent out of
the country in exchange for silver is an
illogical dictum. But even if it was
the case, that gold would be sent out
and silver come. in, it would make 25
per cent more dollars and raise the
price of wheat and cotton by the in

when we get out of gold" Oh +! how
silly! VIII Europeans refuse to eat
our wheat or spin our cotton, unless we
..have gold to back it?n A ten-year-
old boy ought to detect such fallacy.

ton of Parks and Page, i will say that

that date All Mr.. Dorman, if your
authorities have SO stated, it is all the
worse for their regulations, because
35. 900, 900 people were prosperous in
the imitation period of the war and
never suffered till the vampire of con-
traction began to suck their life blood.
You seem to accept an unnecessary fac
tor in your promises in the thought that
contraction was an unavoidable Sc
quence to imitation. If your authorities
would have written their histories after
the decision of the supreme court in
18th Wallace, United States Statutes,
545 reports, they would have written
differently or missed the truth.
But the weakest of all arguments is,
.'to modify our demands for free silver
coinage on a gold basis, to meet the
views of Grover Cleveland and John
Sherman" / say Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Sherman modify their views to

people who know what they want, and

Our Gear Taxes Coffee.

On Tuesday of this week Benjamin
Harrison as President, using prerog-
ative of absolute monarchy, issued
proclamation imposing a tax of 3 cents
a pound on 5000, 600 pounds of coffee
used by the people of the United States,
as well as other taxes on indefinite
amounts of sugar, molasses and hides.
These taxes imposed on the American
people are alleged to be retaliation
against Colombia, Hayti and Venezuela
for not accepting the Mckinley bill as
binding on their Governments and
people, but in reality they are the re-
suit of an attempt to enable Repub-
lican President to tax the American
people without the consent of a Demo
cratic House of Representatives. Our
imports of coffee, on which this tax is
levied by the Cars akase, are as fol-

The tax is levied on hides also, but
the importations of hides from these
countries are not worth mentioning or
the President would never have dared
to brave the New England manufact-
urers. Nor the importations of sugar
on which the tax is levied large. So
the Sugar Trust will have no protestto
make. The tax falls on coffee, and as
there is no coffee trust in this country,
as the people who use coffee cannot
form trust, the President is not afraid.
In levying these taxes by proclama-
ton he has done something that the
Kaiser of Germany cannot do; that no
King of England since the time of
Charles the First has ever thought of
doing. As an accomplice of the Reed
Congress he has committed an act of
gross and despotic usurpation.-Re

ORDAINED PRIESTS.
-Four Young Clerics Raised TO the
Ministry.
a Solemn Ceremony at St. Mary's Cathedral.
Brief Biographies of the Newly Made
Clergymen.

Yesterday morning four candidates for
the ministry were ordained to the priest
hood in St. Mary's Cathedral by his Grace
Archbishop Riordan. The ceremony, which
in the Catholic Church is one of great
sOemnity, took place at O'Clock, and, not
withStanding the early hour, attracted a
large congregation to the splendid edifee.
The young clerics who had previously
been advanced to the diaconate were the
Rev Joseph Byrne, Rev Joseph McQuade,
Rev John CorcOran and Rev. Michael
Kelly.
The first two were educated in the Chris
tian Brothers schools in this city. They
subsequently entered Santa Clara College
aud took their philosophical course, and
later went to Baltimore for their theology.
Both are natives of this city, and Father
Byrne is especially we'll known, having
been an altar-bOY at the old cathedral for
years ana captain of the St Mary's Cadets,
a military society which was established by
Rev. Father COttle. Many of his old COM
TadeS were present at his ordination.
Rev. Father Corcoran is of Irish birth,
and received his education at All HallOws,
Dublin. Having relations IN this city he
came to California without completing his
course, and finished his studies at Santa
Clara, where a few days ago he was in
vested with the rights of sub-deacon and
deacon.
The three young clergymen first named
are intended for this diocese, but the Rev.
Father Kelly VIII 90 to the diocese OF Port
Land, Oregon.
The ceremony was conducted by the
Archbishop IN fun pontiticals. The mass,
however, on account OF the early hour, was
a low mass. A full choir rendered the " eni
Sauc,uS Sp.rltuS." the "Magnifcat" and
other appropriate music.
The assisting clergy were: Rev. Father
PreHjeTgast, V. G.; Rev Father Kenna,
5. j.; Father NcGinty, Father Allen, Father
Brady Father NJ. Scaulon, Father =. Scam
Ion. Father Norkp. Father Montgomery,
Father Kirby and Father Cottle

on THE VERGE OF RUIN.


The gentlemen and ladies who took part
in the Industrial Conference are convinced
that the country is on the verge of ruin. 1t
is threatened. they say, wiki three kinds OF
ruIB-mOral ruin. political ruin and material
ruin. The Industrial men and women ap-
parently make little account Of statistics
They do not consider tile fact that we are
adding 10 our national wealth with 4
rapiGiJy unknown 10 other nations IS

not in their minds constitute an element Of
prosperity. Il IS q matter for regret that
the Industrial Conference people could not
have discovered a biz OF silver lining some
where on the dark cloud that 0veraangs the

A Citizens Protest.

To the Editor Of The CALI The daily papers
OF Sunday, February 81, and Today, February
%, announced that the parade OF our Second
Brigade the so-called pride of our city, would
take place at 2 o'clock In the afternoon, with a
review on Van Ness avenue, aud the line of
march was announced as being-after the re-
view - from Market street to Golden Gate
avenue, on Van Ness. Golden Gate to Market,
Market to Kearny, 10 Bush, 10 Montgomery, 10
Market, TO Filth, where the parade would be re-
Viewed and dismissed.
In accordance with this arranged programme
many OF cur citizens, with their Young Americas,
were on hand to witness the parade-the old ex-
members OF the \. 6. c. to criticize their com.
panions and the Of-shoOts to cry with enthusl-
asm. with the idea of emulatng their paters"
This Is the correct idea to neul cate among the

lean manufactured products free, the Cana
dians reply that the Government Of Great
Britain would not consent TO such measure.
All the recent propositions for free trade
with Canada have run up against tbest OBJ
isctIons. The British Government does not
propuse to relinQuish the market in one Of
her principal colonies TO heT American COM
petit0r Erastus Wiman says shat IL the
American Congress should offer Canada
unrestricted free trade any Ministry in Can
ada that opposed it would be repudiated by
the people. But the acceptance Of such an
offer would involve Canada in a difficulty
with the mother country. Unrestricted
trade between Canada and the United
States would admit all kinds of American
manufactured goods into Canada free,
while the British manufacturer would have
TO pay duties. Unless there should be free
trade ali round, the American condition of
such a treaty would be a Canadian tariff
uniform with the American tariff Recip-
rocity with Canada is possible only with
Canada as a State in the American Union.
Even a free-trade Congress would not give
Canada a free market for her natural prod
ucJs in the United States without eOmpen-
sation in the way Of free admission Of
American manufactured goods in the Cana
dian market, and if Canada should admit
American manufactured goods free the
political ties binding Canada to Great Brit
ain would be severed. Canada would have
10 choose between political union with
Great Britain and commercial union with
the United States. II it should cling to
political union with Great Britain it would
Of necessity withdraw the condition upon
which commercial union with the United
States would be based.
