country, are the visible eruption of ter
rible moral disease in the hearts IF the
people.
The citizens OF San Francisco are on the
eve of great battle, when they will rebuke
or sanction some of the gigantic evils that
threaten not only the prosperity and per-
petuity Of free institutions, but even Amer
teas existence as a nation In the first
place, it was war against iliteracy.
The coming war was. in the second place,
a fight against immortality, but the great
question befor this city Is: Shall the Judi
ciarv be elevated to dignity and indepen-
dence by a Non-Partisan election, or shall
some insignificant puppet insist upon a
partisan di etatOr who shall frame the laws?
Smash the machine" he urged. "and rid
the city of its corrupt agencies. Make il an
impossibility that any saloon keeper can
trade in so many votes for so much gold
The Democratic and Republican parties
are parties no longer, but machines, worked
by unscrupulous bosses.
Surely, then. when large representa-
ton of men from both parties unite In Nom
PartisanshiD to nominate good men to Office
they should not only be fully supported, but
thanked for inaugurating such a movement
particularly wheD they have pledged them
selves TO ask no Office or favor of any of
their nominees if elected.
This has the trne ring Of reform. and il
carried out this city will have a cleaner
administration in municipal affairs"

maid saloon, at 51S Pacific street. early on
Sunday morning. Howard is the piano
player at the saloon and was furnishing
harmony for the inebriated inmates when
Christensen and some friends entered the
place.
A dispute ensued and Howard was being
badly used up. when his friends intelfered,
and the fight became general
Knives were drawn and freely used with
terrible effect on the participants in the
row.
The fracas attracted the attention Of
Special Officer Sullivan aud Policemen
Murry and Dinan, who Quelled the disturb

Eacn was suffering from a number OF
cuts. and Christensen was so weak from
loss OF blood that the physicians consider
his case critical.
Late last night w. j. Cassen, agent for
the lolo Mills, who lives at 1017 Alabama
street, and who was Christiansen's en-
ployer reported to the police that his horse
and cart had been stolen.
Classen employed Christiansen TO deliver
goods and collect accounts
He claims hat he discovered a number of
serious errors in his collections, and when
Christensen heard of the discovery ne dis

In order 10 effect his escape he broke into
his employers barn and stole valuable

police after the cutting.
In all probability Christensen will have
an additional charge OF burglary to answer
for.

After the speaker had scored the booders
OF Third street and showed that the Nom
Partisan candidates were the only ones who
were unbought and the only ones who had
pledged themselves to reform, DR.. Hirst
concluded by saying 1t was the duty of
every honest Christian to vote for the ticket
which represented decency and honesty
The next speaker was that veteran orator,
W. ii. Barnes. He said that prohibition
and total abstinence had nothing to do with
the issue. The only question was the dives
He thought that the party of reform should
win and there were $4,000 others who
thought the same. With God and the right
on the Non-Partisan side it was bound to
win.
Rev. DR.. Ollie spoke few words on the
subject Of "The Dives" and said, although
Republican, he would not belong to party
which used burglars Jimmy to pry open
the city's treasury. He thought the only
hope of the city lay in the Non-Partisan
party.
"On election day." he said. Eve will bury
the bosses and divekeepers and all their
clique SO deep that Gabriers trumpet will
not reach them. We will bury them face

GOOD MEN IN PUBLIC LIFE.
Rev. DIR. Il. r. Dlle's Sermon at til
Central Methodist Church.

Rev. DIR. e. r. DHne's Sermon at the
Central Methodist Church.
Rev. DR.. Z. r. Ollie. pastor of Central
Methodist Episcopal Church. preached to a
large congregation last evening, taking for
his theme THE Need OF Good Men in Pub
lie Life"
He said that every man was liable TO be
called to serve the people. Voting was not
private, but public act. A mans vote
should be the incarnation Of bis convictions
and the good citizen was bound to consult
the interests of others as well as his own.
The great question. DR.. Ollie remarked,
was not for whom shall we vote. but how
shall we vote.
All public duties were Christian duties
The will of God was the only guide of moral
obligation. 1t was Christ who taught us to
carry religion into politics. he first taught
the great principle that all men were free
and equal.
The failure Of one man to vote robbed
other men of their right to good govern
meDt. Ii bad men obtained power the
votes alone were responsible. The right to
vote did not carry with it the right not to
vote.
a man ought not to be afraid TO vote his
own convictions. The Independent vote is
not thrown away. 1t was freeman's pro-
test. 1t was the harblngeT of a new era.
III great reforms necessarily began with
mlnorities.
DIR. Ollie said be believed the days Of
party rule were about ended. The masses
OF men were becoming too intelligent to be
herded or cOrraled by bosses. If good men
would only stand together they could smash
all the machines.
He was glad some Christian men were
running for Office. Every voter should take
an electrical search light with him 10 the polls
on tuesday and throw 1t upon every gam
bier, bbertlne. atheist and ex-convict and
elect them to stay at home for the glory OF
God.
Reference was made to George Washing
ton, John Stuart Mill. Edmund Burke,
Macaulay. Charles Sumner, Abraham Lin
coin ana u. S. Grant as the examples of
the election of good men to public Office.
The Senate of the United States was hid

To-day men were running for the Legisla-

What the State needed to-day was race
OF public men. who. like Lincoln and Grant,
believed in the right and dared to do right
though the heavens fell.
The people of San Francisco were on the
eve OF the great battle of the ballots GOD
ana satan were about to fight a duel at the
polls. The duty of good men was plain.
Ihey should join hands with the Lord
The paramount duty of all who have the
welfare OF the city at heart was to vote to

discourse was THE Duty of the Hour"
and was lecture OH the duties deyolying
upon citizens of this community at the

morrow.
He said IL was very poor Christian,
indeed, who could not on Tuesday lay aside
his RepubIicanism, his Democracy or his
Prohibit onism and vote for the be.t men.
regardless of politics, for the various
municipal Offices.
"We are vast and progressive people, -
he said, 'and it should be the desire of
every w-abiding and decent citizen 10 vote
for men and measures that are upright.

what we must do, and the pulpit can
greatly assist, is to educate our people up
to that point where they will refuse TO
cOuntenance the methods of saloon politi-
clans. A church members vote counts as
much on election day as does that of bar
keeper Religion should always be for the
best interest OF the community.
Morality has much TO do with the pros
perity Of a community. San Francisco has
the reputation in the East of being a mod
ern SOdom. Hundreds Of families have
located in Southern California on account
of the superior morals of the people who re-
side in that section of the State. Pasadena,
Riverside, Les Angeles and San Diego are

Survivors, Story.

The steam whaler Beluga. Captain Sher-
man, arrived in port yesterday aftern ooE,
with two members of the crew of the whal-
Ing bark Helen Mar, which was crushed in
the ice on October last, in latitude II deg.
80 min. north and longitude 1863 deg. 80 min.
west. All but five of the crew were lost,
including Captain Thaxter.
The story of the wreck is a terrible mar
rative of Arctic suffering for the survivors,
and the worst casualty that has happened
TO the fleet this season.
Five men were saved from the wreck but
only two of them came down on the Beluga
the other three remained on the whaler
Orca. which rescued them from the ice
fields.
The story told by the two survivors, and
as Mate Cook of the Beluga heard it, is
about as follows:
The Helen Mar had five whales on the
the morning of the 9th of October, and that
day got two more. The head of one was on
deck, and late in the afternoon the crew
was holsting on the other, when the crash
came. 1t seems the vessel was In clear
water all day, but had drifted toward the
lee-helds without those on board noticing
1t, as they were busy at work In some un-
exDlainable manner she drifted stern first
between two strips which closed up and
crushed the vessel almost instantly. There
was no time to lower boat before the YES
sci sank and all but FIVE went down with
her. Fifth Mate Ward, Boatswain Anton

"Vote for men who represent principles
rather than those who are the puppets Of a

sermon In st. Paurs Church yesterday
morning.
The subject of the discourse was entitled
"The Relations Of the Government To the
Cove rned" He took for his text ST. PauPs
Epistle TO the Romans kill, Let every
soul be subject unto the higher powers.
For there is no power but of God; the
powers that be are ordained of God"
The first impression" he said, 'to be
derived from the reading of this passage is
that the Apostle distinctly breaches .wo
doctrines, both Of which are now discarded,
the doctrine of divine right and of passive
resistance"
The speaker gave a brief but lucid expla-
nation OF the theory of government from the
earliest ages 10 tho present day.
"Ihe more carefully" he continued. I'VE
study the history of the past. of the differ
ent nations that have existed. the more
