THE OBJECT or LIFE.

weaknesses Of the h u m q n
mind il the inclination 10 es-
teen things OF minor ihlpor-
tance too highly, and to
lightly esteem things Ofgreat
Importance. This ia the great
est evidence Of the death
which came upon Ran when
he transgressed the law Of
his Creator. and the first step
in redepming him from this
curse is to teach him to "a
TEEN things according to-
their value. Mans love for
the rewards he is to receive
induces him to engage his ser
vices to some master. and
his Creator with IN allwise
purpse. has constituted him
that he cannot serve two
masters; that. when he gives
his services tO one, he does
80 to the exclusion ofnIl 9th
erS.
We spend our lives in pur-
snit Of many things to the
attainment of which we de,
vote our whole timeAnd At
tentlon; and our aim is to
investigate some Of the oh
iects for which mon live, and
TO endeavOr to find for what
they should live. We find. by
investigation. that the great
est oniec.. most men have in
view is the requirement Of
wealth; and they consider all
time lost which il not, spent
in this way; they estimate
the valnpnf every article .hv
the amount of gold or SILVER
to which if is equal. All the
powers of the mind are turn
ed in this direction. The folly
of this class of people is ap-
parent to every one; and yet
in view of the fact that "n
mans life c0nsisteth moi in
the abundance of things he
pOsSesseth.' we are cOntinu-
ally Judging men by t he
weight of their purses rather
than by their character as
men. Not only does the love
of money engage mems time
and talents; hut it also cans
es them to cheat, lie, steal,
swindle, and to invent all
kinds of Internal plans to pos
sess it.
Probably there is nothing
which engage mans imaginH
tion 80 much, and so takes
possession OF him, as the de,
size for honor. There are not
many who ever get b"yond
its influence; our actions are
continually governed by the
thought of what people will
think of us. Politicians wor-
ship for the most partial this
shrine and we sometimes find
men who srcff ut the idea of
the existence Of the God of
the Bible. bOwing in the dust
to mortal tyrants and serv-
ing them in every respect, or
in many respects serving pop
ular opinion, than which moth
ing is more tickle or uncer-
tain.
1t may be claimed by some
that people do not spend
their timein acquiring wealth
or honor for near wealth or
honor's sake; but have IN
view the pleasure which they
suppose these will give. For
instance. when one spends all
his time in the acquisition of

bring him that pleasure. We
admit that this may be the
case, and also, that their own
selfish pleasure and enjoy
'nent are the only things
most men have in view. This
pursuit Of pleasure and a.
musement has assumed vari-
Gus forms in the differentages
and nations of the world nc-
cording to the character of
the people.

ders of national games, OF

sand. The Gre"ian games
were degraded in the days of
Rome. Running, wrestling.
and chariot-racing were too
tame affnirs for the Romans.
Wild-beast fights took their
place; then men fought beasts
and with one another. So
popular did these games be-
come, That none could hope
to be elected TO any position
unless he gave public exhibi-
tion of wild beast and gladi-
atOrinl cOmbats. Immense
fortunes were spent in this
way. Amphithpatrps were
built in every town. The gr Il
test of these, the Colosseum,
was built ut Rome by Vespa-
sian and Titus after the de-
strnctiOn of Jerusalem. 1t en-
closed five acres of land and.
had a capacity of+i4 hty thou
sand. Its dedication lasted
one hundred days, during
which time five thousand an
imnls were thrown into the
arena. 1t continued to be Us
ed for four hundred years.
Certain, animals were so diff
ffirult to obtain that it was
considered u tcrime to- kill
them. 1t was a capital Of

orable did these battles be-
come that divine hOnors were
rendered to one Emperor who
fought seven hundred and
thirty-five times as Il com.

did the popular amusement
depend on those shows that
every family had it's gladia-
tors, and sons IN high life
paid hOnOIs to Il deceased in
thcr by gIadiatoria: combats
in which from twenty-five to
seventy-fve gladiators took
part, the contest often last
ing for days.
In Medieval times, the
tournament took the place
of the national games of
Greece and Rome. These were
contests between Knights
for honor. Almost al ways
there were manv borne dead
OF dying from the arena, and
in one German tournament
sixty knights were killed.

Now the question arises,
what should he the object of

For what is life itself design.
ed? Biologists tell us Of a
law in Natnre, which they
call evolution; by which
plants or animals. if they use
the organs they possessforthc
sustenance of life, gradually
become more complex intheir
organisms and enter a high
er grade of plant or animal
life. On the contrary, if they
cease from any cause, to use
the organs given them, they
gradually lose them and are
degraded in the scale of life.
Instances of these are cited
in. the case of parasitic
plants and animals and also
Of animals shut up in dark
caverns for ages which have

Creator has given him Ger.
tain faculties. and it IS from
II right use OF those faculties
that he derives all his pleas
ure; and it is by right use
that he Envelopes them.
The most important Of
these should engage his at
tention first; and the study
of nature only gives us a rlue
as tO which are the most i'm
portant or in whose service
he is to engage them. We
know that, although t h q
body is a wonderful piece of
mechanism and possesses
wonderful faculties, it is not
the most important part of
nan; that it was only de-
signed M a dwrllingplace for
the mind or true man; that
the brain, though it is *
ceedingIy wonderful in it's op-
erations, is only the inStru-
ment with which the mind
carries on it's work.
We can learn this much
from the study oinature. but
what the principle we call is,
or what is it's Importance,
we cannot find from the study
Ot nature alone. 1t is reason
able to suppose that mans
Creator would give him a
knowledge of his character
and how it shoul,i be devel-
oped; what faculties he should
cultivate, especially, and
what he should restrain and
and keep in subsection t h e
uses for which they were de-
Signed.
We find that such a revela-
tion has been given him, and
it thoroughly teaches him
what he is. how he became
SO, and the manner in which
he is to be redeemed and his
facultis developed. This Book

now that electric power is cheapening,
now that it is likely to come into the
kitchen and the laundry, why not into
the hall and operate elevators in most
houses7 OF course the cost of motor

large sum, the smallest of the desirable
motors costing as much as $3.50. and even
more, and with hosting machinery $3.50,
while the elevator is good for $3.50 more.
But when new houses are built hereafter,
those of some considerable value. and all

THE suggestion of the RECORD-UNION
ing from Judge Ross irrigation decision
is by an amendment to the Constitution,
is meeting with favor all around. Irriga-
ton is naturally matter of private en-
terprise. But it demands large capital TO
be successfully carried on for the fertil-
ization OF arid lands by the marriage OF
water to the soil. But capital will not in
vest in such work except it can be guar
auteed safety against legislative assault
aud q fair return; nor should it. What we
need, therefore, is constitutional amend
ment guaranteeing to investors in sys-
tematic irrigation schemes a maximum
reward for their money advanced. This
can be subject 10 such just regulation by
out in an earlier article. By this means
millions of idle capital seeking safe in
vestment can be brought to invest In
California irrigation schemes. If 1t is
said that an amendment will be no So
curity against assault. because such
an amendment can be stricken out by the
same means employed to adopt it, and as
speedily, we reply that investment made
under a constitutional guarantee cannot
be affected by any repeal of that guaran-
tee. Ec post .facto laws are of no more
virtue in constitutions than in statute

neither desires to 60 to war if it can posi-
bly, be avoided. There is a strong war
party in Japan, but the Mikado is Tor

peace. Nevertheless both Governments
are taking time by the forelock and
putting themselves upon a stronger war
footing. The outside pressure in both
lands ia for war. md if it is declared it
will be because the people and not the
rulers desire it. If war does break out, it
will be a case of the Governments yield
ing to pressure that they deem dangerous
to resist. Just how war between the
two powers will affect European relations
is not clear. England will be inclined to
sympathize with Japan and France with
Russia, and this sympathetic interest
may provoke such manifestations as to
mbroil these two European powers in
the conflict. England will gladly keep
out, but France is rather eager than 9TH
erwise for the fray.

TIE Stockton Record says:

In spite OF the so-called restrictions in re-
lation TO immigration from foreign countries
TO America, there are statistics to prove that
this undesirable kind of immi gratiOn Is on
the increase, the June arrivals at the port of
New York of this year being 1856, as
against %. 1854 for The same month last year.
The RECoRD-UNIoN has long urged
that the bars be put up higher. It must
not be assumed that even the larger por-
ton of the incoming brigade to which
the Record refers are OF the undesirab lie
class. We have no means of knowing
how many Of the 80, Csc were Of the order
that shOuld be shut out. If the officers
did their duty none of those admitted
were Objectionable, undesirable. within
the meaning of the restriction law as it
stands. But what is needed ia broadening
of the law SO as to shut out not only the
criminal, the pauper and the aided, but
the kind of immigrants who come here
with the ideas Of unrest and discomfort,
and whose lives are to be devoted to the
fostering of discord, the preaching and
practicing of ideas that are antsgonistio
to our form of government and our gys-
tenn of social order. There is far more
danger to honest labor from these classes
than from the wage competitor.

PRINTING EXPERT.
SAN FRANCIsCo AUGUST l.

SAN FRANCISCO August l, 1895.
Hon. e. p. ColgdR. State Controller,
,Sacranento-DEAR SIR: In reply to
your favor Of the 9th ult. concerning the
appointment of Fred A. Severy as Print
ing Expert to the Board of Examiners,
under Section go of the Political Code,
and requesting an opinion from me as TO
whether or not said section is still in
force. / am of the opinion that, as the
Legislature has not seen tit either to re-
peal or amend Section 679 OF the Political
Code, it is still in force and effect, and
that the appointment referred to by you
is valid one.
AS the Legislature. in abolishing the
Office OF State Printer and the system OF
State printing by piece work, and estab-
fishing the State Printing Office and
creating the office of State Printer, did
not do away with the office of Printing
Expert to the State Board of Examiners,
il must be presumed that it was the be-
lief of the Legislature that there were
still duties for the said expert to per-
form. and that, therefore, the section
permitting his appointment WAS contin-
ued in force.
The mere fact that no appropriation has
been made for this office during the Years
mentioned by you does not indicate an
intention on the part of the Legislature to
abolish the office, as the section carries an
appropriation for his salary. Respect
fully, w. f. FITZGERALD,
AttOrney-General.

Hundreds of men work night and day
all days of the week in the Dayton Coal
and Iron Company yards, and about the
furnaces, but not one of these is arrested.
Trains, freight and passenger, thunder

arrested. But ii an Adventist spades
about a pansy on Sunday he is jagged.
Every livery-stable in Tennessee is open
and does business on Sunday, but no
proprietor is prosecuted. though it cam
not be successfully commended that the
opening Of a livery-stable. save to receive
and feed horses, is a public necessity. or
that, as is claimed for the iron furnaces.
the work is necessary.
But the Adventist replies that all labor
Is necessary to maintain life and secure
happiness. The fruit-growers of Ten
nessee pick, pack and ship their fruit on
Sunday. and are not interfered with by
the law; but if the Adventist plows
about his fruit tree on Sunday to give it
vigor and it's earth necessary air and sun
light, ne is arrested and clapped into the
chain-gang.
All this. assuming our information to

NEARLY the entire number of the
"United States Consular Reports" for
July (No. 17S) is devoted to pictures and
descriptions of tenement-houses In for
eign cities. 1t is an extremely interest
ing compilation; indeed, it is rare for
official reports to be invested with so
much of interest as is this now referred
TO. The houses treated and described are
those of Berlin, Brussels. Glasgow.
Liverpool, London and Paris. One thing
that gives especial value to the paper is
the inclusion of the health and police
regulations applicable to tenement dwell
ings. These might be studied with profit
by the authorities of all large cities.
