PASADENA, July 10.-The tabernacle
was filled last evening by q large au-
dience. gathered to hear Rev. Clark Cfaw-
ford's address on The Outlook for the Re-
public, which was followed by brief ad-
dress by the chairman OF the meeting,
Ex-Governor Lionel A.. Sheldon, on Amer
lea for the Americans. The meeting was
under the auspices of the United Order
OF American Mechanics. while the G. A.
r. post was present in body, with
other organizations, Commander Drake
occupying a seat on the platform, and
the post flag being conspicuous among
the decorations. with other emblems in
dicating the character OF the meeting.
After prayer by Rev. Mr.. Douglass and
singing by the audience. Rev. Clark
Crawford introduced his subject by say
ing that instead Of dwelling upon the
great achievements Of the past in which
our country had distinguished herself.
hnd by which the name America had
become renowned to all the world, he
would rather call attention to the duties
and RESPONSE bilities of the present hour.
He said the vastness of our territory ana
resources and the blessings showered upon
the citizens of the republic were cause
for heartfelt gratitude to God, who had
given the country to the Anglo-Saxon
Face, into whose hands had been COM
mitted the working out of the problem
OF self-government. While prosperity
had been vouchsafed to the American
people in wonderful measure, there are
dangers now threatening us that demand
the growing antagonlsm between capital
and labor. which creates and fosters class
spirit. Wealth. even organized wealth,
Is necessity, but when accumulated in
the hands Of a few men it becomes dan
geous. That labor rebels Is but to be ex-
pected. and the fact that misguided men
are misled by Debs, or some one like
him, is no argument against them or
their cause. The. fact that labor strikes
are taken advantage of by anarchists and
others for personal advantage, spoil and
plumber. does not prove that their cause
win in the end.
The importation of foreign labor was
udplored, as well as the adoption of for
eign customs, and the speaker stated as
his conviction that the A. p. A. and the
y. 0, A. M. were aiding greatly IN foster-
and our own institutions. and demanding
that the old countries send us better citi-
zens or none at all.
Another great danger to this country
Is the liquor traffic. Mr.. Crawford ex-
pressed it as his belief. that the day will
when it will be contrary to law to make
or sell liquor as beverage in the United
States.
Attention was called to the fact that
the perversion vf literary taste is one of
she bad signs which bodies no good to the
effect Of the great quantities of immoral
books tha4food the country, as we'll as the
had tendency OF the recital of foul crimes
through the columns of the daily press,
was dwelt upon; then the encouraging
features were summarized as being the
anxiety Of all patriotic citizens that the
republic should live, the interest OF wom-
an in the welfare of the nation and their
strong fight against the saloon. and the
great loyalty OF the American citizens to
their public school system.
the speaker earnestly advocated the gen.
erous. encouragement OF the public
schools. where the rich and the poor meet
gardly policy that would deny the pay
ment OF fair salaries to teachers and the
building of ample school buildings. The
American home Is also a great safeguard,
and the last and greatest, the Christian
religion.
At the conclusion of Rev. Mr.. Craw-
ford's most able address Miss Boilinger
sang Columbia, the Gem OF the Ocean.
Mr.. Sheldon spoke briefly concerning
corruption in politics. which he consid-
cred q menace to the countrys future.
The gist of Governor Eheldon's address
was expressed in his opening declaration
that it Is time to put Americans on guard
instead Ut under guard. Foreign immi.
grafton. he said. has been encouraged by
demagogues TOR political purposes, fact
demonstrated BY the statistical statement
that from 1880 to 1890 more than half OF
the foreigners arriving in America were
settled in thirty-slx counties OF the coun-
Ny.

before being dismissed.
