Merritt, under instructions of Fremont,
who was not present. The intention
was to form California into an indie
pendent republic. The Bear Flag was
hauled down when Commander Sloat
came.
The Mexican side of the revolution is
not found in history, and many of the
details of this opera boutfe affair are
therefore of interest in view of the COM
ing celebration.
Don Antonio Coronel, of Los Angeles,
one of the leaders, related to me, re-
Gently, the following historical Incl
dents:
The principal cause of the pronunci-
nmento was because of Capt. Giles
pies tyrany. He had been left in COM
.mand at Los Angeles after the country
had been surrendered. He declared
martial law, and arrested people for
trivial causes. One night his negro
cook, whom | had befriended, come to
my house and told me that Gen. Flores,
myself and others were to be arrested
We at once organized. | gathered all
the old pieces of iron, took them to
the Mission San Gabriel where they
were made into lances. Pieces of lead
were taken from the roofs and melted
into bullets. We soon had 500 men in
the field, many not having weapons,
but all had lariats-vcry effective in the
hands of n Mexican. Sonora Juracercia
Reyes made some powder. Our army
then marched to meet Gen. Kearny,
and drive him out of the country.
II was appointed commissioner to
Mexico, to solicit aid to reconquer Chl-
ifornia. l Immediately started with
my escort, and, as there was not much
money in the country, l took along
cavalcade of about 500 horses for eX
penses-to sell on the way. At the Col
orado river l turned back because the
Indians had heard of my coming and
would have taken the horses. and
probably killed us. l gave my dis
patches for the supreme government
to a courier who eluded the Indians,
crossed the river and arrived safely in
Mexico. But it was no use.
"As | was returning, and while near
San Diego, | heard that Gen. Kearnys
troops, which had just arrived there,
were machirg north. Gen. Andres Pico
had a command of about 500 cavalry
men not far from San Pascual. wrote
note on the margin of paper, and
sent it by courier. Gen. Pico doubted
my information, saying: impossible.
There are no more Americans; they are
all at San Diegon That night they
captured my horses, but l escaped and
hid in the mountains for few days.
1 finally reached Los Angeles and was
in the battles of Paso de Portolo, on
the San Gabriel, and La Mesa.
"rhe battles of San Pascual were
fought on December G and 7, 1916. The
first engagement was a skirmish
short distance from the Indian village.

to the aid of the infantry at San Pas
cual. Commodore Stockton again took
possession of Los Angeles. In the mean
time Fremont had signed treaty of
peace, "2O miles away" frcm the scene
of battle. For this Gen. Kearney sent
him to Washington under arrest. He
was court-martialed, but finally was
permitted to resign.
The Americans then entered into q
political revolution by forming n state
constitution-thus usurpipg the powers
of congress. Thus California was ad-
mitted as full-fedged state-never
having been organized as territory.
Otherwise, the programme was to form
:, western confederacy.
Her admission, however, was the di-
rect cause of the civil war that followed
n few years later. The south urged the
war against Mexico for the purpose Of
extending her slave territory, while the
north opposed it. But the Californians
refused to take chances in territorial
condition, and came in as free state
a solitary instance.
California has much to celebrate.

A Time for RetrospoctIon.

The New Year is time for retro
spect; it is a time for solemn thought;
for looking back over the road we have
come, and seeing where in the past
our steps have gone straight and where
crooked.
"'Tis greatly wise to talk with our past
hours,
And ask them what report they bore to
Heaven"
1t is time to count up our blessings
and in the retrospect we shall find
them to be more than we thought-and
to give heartfelt thanks for them, even
though the thanks may sometimes go
up through tears.
1t is time to make good resolutions
yes, even though they may be broken.
No one can resolve to break a bad habit,
to live better, sweeter life, and then
strive hard to attain that ideal, even
il he sometimes fail, without coming on
to higher plane, rising a step higher
and getting into clearer spiritual at
mosphere.
So may we all resolve-and may we
have grace given US to carry out the res
olution-to make the coming year the
very best in our lives, the richest in our
own spiritual growth, and the richest
in the blessings we may carry to those
around us.-Chicago Advance.

downcast eyes and Mr.. Mac clasping
her hand and looking noble and glad

umphant glance or the mischievous
| corners of Mrs. Oswood's mouth or the
minister's sly chucl1le as he turned
from his completed work, that sent
the truth home to Will and Fanny?
Fanny made rush for the kitchen,
and took refuge behind the pantry door,
where VIII found her moment later.
Come, come quick, Fanny, and offer
congratulations, or they'll think us
guilty." whispered Will, excitedly.
"Oh, you-you great-boobyl" as if
no word could possibly express her
opinion of his dullness. Don't you sup
pose they know it already, and to think
mamma must have helped them-oh,
it's too bad. and it's awful to get

with look of comic dismay, you sure

schoolmaster of a Mr.. Mac!"
1t was well he was quick of motion,
for Fanny generally hit what she aimed
at. Defeated in her purpose, she tossed
her head and returned to the parlor
just as Mr.. Mac was saying: at was
surely kind of them," amidst general
laughter. Her face flushed hotly, but
she would show them she didn't care, so
she walked up and took the brides
hand.
"Let me congratulate you, Mrs. Mac,
upon your-your," she was going to
say Happiness" or something of that
kind, but she felt Mr.. MUGS quizzical
glance upon her, and she faltered, help
less and confused.
Luck" Will proposed, wickedly.
This caused general uproar, during
which time she finished her congratula-
tions.
II do indeed congratulate you upon
your luck, Mr.. Mac" VIII then said,
land may you both have much happiness
and many joys"
"And friends to help us out of our
difficulties" Mrs. Mac slyly added.

The people OF California propose to

pioneers of those days now living, when
they can again fight over the battles of

government has promised to assist with
u naval and land display. The only
battles of the conquest of California
were fought after the conquest. There
was some bloodshed on both sides, how
ever, in consequence of Fremont's free
booters stealing horses from the Mexi-
cans. Subsequent revolution was the
outcome of the raising of the Bear Flag

The Pennsylvania Senator VIII Not Seek

Senator James Donald Cameron's an
nouncement of his voluntary with
drawal from public life at the close of
his present term was considerable of q
surprise to the country, though, as his
letter to State Senator McCarrell, of
Harrisburg, Pa, indicates, it was not
the result of sudden or newly formed
impulse You will remember" he
writes to Mr.. McCarrell, that in
conversation Mt my home in Harris
burg, just after my election to the SEN
ate, told you, as well as many other
friends, that under no circumstances
would again be a candidate for reelec-
tion. Since then nothing has occurred
to change my mind" No doubt these
are the exact facts, and it is reason
ably certain that if he had changed his
mind he would be reelected if his party

SENATOR JAMES DONALD CAMERON.

was in the majority in the legislature
His attitude on the saloon question was
obnoxious to some of his constituents,
no doubt, and would have been made
the basis of an opposition more or less
feeble which has always antagonized
him. But the people of Pennsylvania
don't take much interest in that sub
ject. They are absorbed in the tariff
question, and on that point Senator
Cameron is entirely orthodox" Sem
ator Cameron was born in Middletown,
Dauphin county, Pa, in 1888, and grad
uated from Princeton college in 1852.
He entered the Middletown bank as
clerk, became it's cashier and afterward
president, which position he now fills.
He was president of the Northern Cen
tral railroad from 1863 until 1874,
when it passed into the control of the
Pennsylvania railroad. He was secre-
tary of war under President Grant
from May, 1876, to March, 1877. He
was delegate to the national repub-
lican conventions in 1868, 1876 and 1880,
and was chairman of the national re-
publican committee in 1880. In 1877
he was first elected to the United States
senate to fill vacancy caused by the
resignation of his father, Gen. Simon
Cameron, and was reelected in 1870,
1885 and 1891. His term expires March
