From the Bakersfield Californlan.l
The Sacramento RECORD UNION has
completed its forty-seoond volume, and
begins its new one with every indication
that it will live to celebrate twice that
age. The REUoRD-U UNION is a model
newspaper, and is a standing refutation
of the idea that to achieve success a paper
must be sensational, must be flied with
the reek of the slums. No line ever ap-
pears in its columns that may not be read
aloud in the family. while the greatest
pains are taken for absolute accuracy in
all statements of fact. Its editorial col
umns, too are dignified and possess a
tone equaled by few newspapers i'll the
country. The managers Of such a jour-
nal as the RECoRD-U UNIoN ought to be,
and doubtless are, proud over the success
of their efforts to give the public first
class paper.

Jesus Christ. This is the corner stone
of the church.
Mr.. Wright congratulated the church

its attractiveness, that has enabled it to

must have souls orldie.
DR.. Dalton was introduced as one who
is by nature a Congregationalist, though
ordained an Episcopalian. He said that
he realized the disadvantage of being
last. Mr.. Wright had never wronged
him before, but now he had taken part of
his speech, for he had intended to speak
of the missionary character of the church.
He could only endorse all that had been
said. He emphasized the fact that the
Williston church appeared in a locality
and at a time when it was needed 1t
was mathematical of that ideal Christian
church that is ruled by common sense
and that does more for the
union of Christians than all the
manifestoes of the bishops, priests and
deacons of the world. 1t was a Congre-
gational Church because there were none
of those people in the locality where it
began. 1t started rightly among the
poor. 1t did as it should in supplying
the need and located with the true idea of
a local church.
The pastor, Mr.. Pratt, closed the exer-
cises by extended reference to the true
spirit of the church in the past as pro-
phecy of its great future possibilities

The story of Lieut.. Peary's Arctic adj
ventures will be fully told at the after
noon and evening lectures, Friday at City
Hall, and it is needless to say
that much more interest attaches
to the explorer and his resolute
wife than to the explored. When
Mrs. Peary. arrived among the Esqui-
maux, who are the Oldest tribe in the
northern hemisphere the women had
never seen a sewing needle and would
have given anything to possess such a
curiosity. One man was so charmed on
, being shown a pocket knife that he
offered Lieut.. Peary his wife and two
children in exchange for it. Now thanks
to the Pearys every woman has needles
and thread and the men pocket knives.
The manner of making their garments,
their home life and strange customs, will
all be described together with the won
derful results of the expedition. The
views of Arctic scenery show the awful
grandeur and vast loneliness of the far
frozen north. Many curiosities will be
on exhibition after the lecture.
The sale of seats to the two Peary lee
lures indicates crowded houses, and
tickets should be secured early to get the
best seats. The prices in Portland are a
third less than be has charged elsewhere,
it being his old home.
He looks forward with the greatest
pleasure to meeting the men and women
and particularly the children of Portland
and all should embrace this opportunity
to hear him. His lecture is unique and
thrilling narrative upon topic of rarest
interest, warranted by the hardy explorer
himself. The time for driving the dogs
with the Esquimaux sledge and driver
through the streets will be announced
later. Look out for it.

The Druggist Bill.

To the Editor of the Press:
Will you kindly afford me room in
your columns fora few words about the
scheme for conceding to the druggists
of the state the right to make free-rum
shops of their establishments. say free
rum shops because that is exactly what
the bill if made law will create. And
they will be the worst and most danger
GUS kind of rum shops. far more so than
any on Centre street and Gorham's cor
ner.
The bill processes to give the drug
gists the right to sell intoxicants for
medicine only. Very well if that only
was their design why did MT they say,
ITO be sold only on prescription by areg-
ular established physician?" Because in
that case they would hardly be able
to sell intoxicants to Tom, Dick and
Harry as they could do with perfect inn
punity under the bill as drawn. With
the prescription obstacle to free sales
ninety hundredths of their hopes and
expectations would be cut off. | know
the druggists well, having helped in
bringing many of them to the ring bolt
for free sales of liquor under the present
law. am quite right in saying that it
would be far better for Center street
dens to run free than to give the drug
gists legal warrant to make their shops a
common haunt for young people who
want a moderate drop or two"
am within the fact in saying that five
hundred dollars will pay for all the in
toxicants needed in Portland for legiti-
mate use in medicine. 1t may be seen
then at glance that the great efforts of
the druggists to carry through the bill
now before the legislature are not in
spired by the profits coming from the
sale Of liquors for medicine only.
Some years ago, when the law was
very imperfectly enforced ii Portland,
information came to me that druggist
had $4,000 worth of liquors in his cellar
gave this information to the liquor dep
uties of that day. They thought it a
pity to seize and destroy so large an
amount of property, and said they would
notify the owner to send it away quietly.
All that was in violation of law. Now it
is proposed to give druggists warrant of
law for doing it on large scale. can
not foresee what the people will say
about it when the effects of the druggist
bill shall be developed
