A Yiotorious Ministry.

DR.. A. F. Coyle of Oakland read paper
on GA Victorious Ministry" before the
Presbyterian Ministerial Union, which was
applauded and Endorsed by all the minis
tiers present. "Nothing succeeds like sue
cess" he said, 'and even in the ministry
we cannot help measuring by the secular
yardstick-the minister who has the biggest
congregation and gets the largest amount
in pew rent is the most successful The
speaker went on, however, to show that
success in the ministry is not to be meas
ured by such standards, for the mission of
the pulpit is not the worship of mammon,
but to emphasize the practical great truths
of religion.
DIR. Coyle condemned seeking some cur
rent and sensational subject to preach
upon as ephemeral and superficial, and ex-
horted his hearers to preach the Gospel,
and preach it as much in their lives as in
their sermons. In the discussion which
followed all these views were Endorsed, and
Rev. Henry Barley, a well-known evan
gelist, who had just arrived from Australia,
made an address, in which he enlarged
upon some of DR.. Coyles opinions. The
evangelist will address the Presbyterian
ministers next Monday.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The sentiment against the restrictions in the
conditions OF the Oakland subscriptions to the
stock in the new valley railroad as to the loca-
ton of the terminal here is growing apaee.
The managers of the new railroad have not yet
officially objected to those restrictions but if
they do it is not likely that there will be any
disposition on the part of the Oakland sub
scribers to insist upon them. Public sentiment
is strong here in favor Of giving the new COM
pany any and all facilities it may require to
insure its coming here.-Oakland Tribune.

Baptists Condemn Danoipg.

1t appears that the evangelist, Rev. S.
Hartwell Pratt, has heard shocking ac-
counts of San Francisco church members.
He addressed the Baptist Ministerial As
ISOLATION yesterday on evangelical work,
and afterward asked the ministers whether
1t was true that people were in the habit of
going direct to the theater after leaving
church. The reverend gentlemen assured
him that the congregations of San Fran
cisco had been maligned by such asper-
sions. They agreed with him in the state
ments made in his address that church
members should not dance or play cards,
but every one was of opinion that the
erring brethren who did these things
should be dealt with rather in sorrow than
in anger.
Speaking from what he had seen of them
himself Rev. s. Hartwell Pratt said he
considered the spiritual tone of the
churches here better than that prevailing
in the churches of Boston. He added that
judging from the way things were going
in that center of learning he expected to
hear that Boston had erected unto itself

DISCUSSED BY ALL
SHADES OF COLOR.
CONTEMPORARIES TALK OF
LYNCHINGS-A Y. M. c. A.
MOB LEADER.
FROM CHURCH TO THEATER.
AN EVANGELIST WHO HAD HEARD
STRANGE THINGS OF LOCAL
CONGREGATIONS

The Congregational Monday Club has
not wavered in its support of the resolu-
tions to condemn lynching in the South
which were unanimously adopted couple
of weeks ago, but yesterday Rev. I. H.
Henderson took up the cudgels for the
Southern people in a paper entitled
"Lynchings in the South"
The speakers object was to show that
the race problem is one of extreme diff
Guilty and that the Northern people deal
with it just as it is dealt with in the South.
In fact, IL was retort courteous of ''you're
another to the accusations of Northern
people. Statistics were given to prove
that in the ratio of the negro population
there are more lynchings in the North than
in the South. Mr.. Henderson added:
money, men and women to aid in the
work of education would do more than any
amount of clustering resolutions.
Almost without exception the members
of the club profited by the occasion of the
discussion which followed to condemn
lynching and many of them combated Mr..
Henderson's statement that the laxity of
the laws was one of the main causes of
lynching.
at is the easiest thing in the world to
get a jury to hang negro" said H. H.
Wickoff Chaplain Rowell thought that
lynching was condoned in the South, and
Rev. W. RAIDER said he looked upon it as one
form of anarchy. DR.. Brown stig matized
his brother Henderson's reasoning and So
phistry and added: "Lynch law never stops
to prove anything. affirm that in all these
lynchings there is not particle of evil
dence that would Is recognized as such in
a court of law"
Rev. J. Kimball said: ''These resolu-
tions do have effect; such protests have
caused the Governor of Louisiana, within
the last few days, to call out the militia
and say the eolored man shall have equal
protection"
Something of a. bombsheH was thrown
into the assembly when Rev. c. a. Ros-
singer carried the war into the accuser's
camp by saying, "Y GU are just as bad here
as they are in the South. The day arrived
in San Francisco l saw three men strung
up by lynch law. Your historian Bancroft
justifies lynching." The speaker also gave
some personal recollections OF having seen
the Chinese driven out of Seattle by mob
headed by the secretary of the Young
Mems Christian Association. The meet
ing closed with some eloquent speeches by
]. g. Rivers, H. A. Rivers, G. Dennis and
A. Henderson, members of the colored race
who were present.
Next Monday DR.. Brown will criticize
DIR. Heron's teachings.

THE OONLAN CLAIM.

Among the bills which have been sent to
the Governor is one providing for the pay
ment of the Conlan claim. This claim has
been before the public SO long that it needs
no explanation, and the Governor should
require no urging to veto it. 1t is claim
that cannot be enforced either in law or
equity against the City. This has been
decided by the Supreme Court, and it is
just because the courts have so decided
that the claim has been carried before the
Legislature.
AS matter of right the Legislature
should never have undertaken to compel
the Supervisors of San Francisco to pay
claim of any kind. The Supervisors are
the proper judges of what claims against
the City are just, and if they reject a claim
the party who supposes himself to be
injured should seek his remedy in the
courts. This is the only way in which
essential justice can be done to all parties.
Certainly the members of the Legisla-
ture cannot assume to know more of
our local affairs than the Supervisors,
nor can they assume to know more of the
law than the Supreme Court. 1t would
have been more proper, therefore, for them
to have paid no attention to this claim at all
1t is distinctly matter which concerns the
City and not the State, and had it been a
legal or equitable claim the law would
have afforded in the courts an ample re-
dress from any unjust action of the Super
visors.
The claim itself is not large, but its pay
ment will open the way for similar claims,
amounting to millions of dollars, for not
one cent of which is the City Justly liable
1t will be seen, therefore, that the matter
is one of graveimportance to San Francisco
taxpayers, and the Governor will be
grayely derelict in his duty if he does not
veto it,

THREE MEN IN A BOAT.
Carried to Sea on the Ebb Tide-Saved
by Fishermen.

Carried to Sea on the Ebb Tide-Saved
by Fishermen.
A boat from the British ship Springburn,
which is moored at SausaEto, drifted out
to sea yesterday, and would have been lost
with her three occupants but for the timely
intervention of two fishermen. The mate
and two apprentices started from the yes
sci at an early hour yesterday morning to
make San Francisco. A strong tide was
running out, and the boat was caught by
the current and carried rapidly down
stream. i. The three men bent to the oars,
but their united strength awaited nothing
against the swiftly ebbing tide.
The afternoon found them beyond the
tress were made out by fisherman's boat,
which Immediately put for them, and tax
ing the boat in tow the smack sailed into
port, landing the men at Mel ggs wharf.

THE RAIsIN COMBINE.

After many unsuccessful attempts dur

the State seem at last to have devised an
effective plan for combining. 1t has been
already set forth fully in the CALL, but
short statement of it here may not be
amiss. 1t is that the growers shall
confine their work to growing; that pack
ing shall be done in central packing houses
established by districts; that none but
first-class raisins shall be packed, all 9TH

shoot both ways from an elevation there, and
I'll bet anything our part of the country will

all right enough, for there is all the shooting
