A wicked Sun.

Of all the murderous implements
of war that has been invented, the
Odkolock automatic machine gun
gives promise of being the deadli-
est. It is so constructed that after
being set in motion by pulling the
trigger it continues to load and fire
itself at the rate Of 900 shots a
minute, for an indefinite length OF
time. The motive power is a
small part Of gas produced by the
explosion Of the cartridge.

MEXICO's FINANCIAL CONDIT-
ION.

A press dispatch from Mexico
states that the banks there have
more European exchange to offer
than the market can absorb. This
is due to the gratifying and con-
stant demand for the new silver 5
per cent bonds in the principal
transatlantic money markets.
How remarkable it is that the
silver bonds of Mexico should be
in "great demand in the principal
markets, when we have been told
with SO much grave and solemn re-
iteration that the free coinage of
silver means nothing short of ruin
to the United States! The naked
truth is that both industrially and
financially, Mexico is in splendid
condition. OF course she is a long
way behind the United States in
social, industrial and intellectual
development, and the opponents of
silver in this country unblushingly
claim that it is because she uses
silver. 1t is amasing that an hon
est man should ever intimate such
thing. Any person having the
slightest knowledge of general his
tory should know that the use of
silver has no more retarded the
progress of Mexico than the en-
ployment of gold has lowered the
civilization of Turkey. So far as
Mexico has Jagged behind in the
march of progress it has been ow-
ing to the character of her people
and the political conditions which
have existed there for centuries.
But in business point of view
Mexico has gained ground rapidly
of late years, and the most intelli-
gent investigators have ascribed it
to the continued us of silver, which
being a more stable measure of
values than gold, has prevented
that tremendous shrinkage of pric-
es which has carried hard times in
to every gold-standary country in
the world.
In a recent article by Mr.. Rome
ro, Minister to the United States
from that country, he points out
many advantages that have accrued
to Mexico from the appreciation Of
gold, while her silver maintained a
uniform value.
Thus one by one every sophisty
and misstatement of the goldite
goes down before the inexorable
logic Of facts.-National Bimetal-

BRYAN's QUESTIONS.

The open letter which ex-Congressman
Bryan has addressed to President Cleve-
land, asking definite statement of what
he means by ''sound money" and "safe
currency" is not likely to be answered by
the President. 1t ought, however, to be
answered by some advocate of the gold
standard who has sufficient sincerity to
believe in the justice of his cause, and
sufficient courage to be true to it.
The demand for the reconciliation of
silver has not come from silver mine
owners seeking to enrich themselves nor
from demagogues striving for a means of
arraying the debtor class against their
creditors. 1t has come from business men
of all kinds. 1t is heard not in this
country only, but throughout Europe. 1t
is expressed in the arguments of some of
the ableSt financial experts in the world,
IS well as some of the greatest statesmen.
1t is not the outcome of party politics, for
political leaders have sought to evade it
for years. 1t is an issue arising from ex-
listing conditions, which clearly NANTES
tendency toward industrial stagnation
and ruin unless the monetary system of
the nations is given broader basis than
that of gold alone.
The decentralization of silver has brought
about an increase in the value of money
and a decrease in the value of all
products, which has entailed an enormous
loss to all classes of producers. 1t must be
borne in mind that the whole civilized
world is in debt. Nations, states, coun-
ties, cities, towns and railroads are all
more or less mortgaged to the capitalists,
and in addition to these public debts are
the private obligations which affect every
industry. The constant and continuous
diminution in the prices of all products
renders it every year more difficult to pay
off these debts and put industry and
trade once more upon an Independent
footing.
The experience of the industrial and
commercial world since the demonetiza-
ton of silver has amply demonstrated the
need of two money metals in order to
maintain the equilibrium of values. By
the test of that experience bimetallism is
the only sound monetary system and the
only safe currency. So far as this country
is concerned there is no doubt about what
the bimetallists mean. They have right,
therefore, to demand a similar definite
ness of statement from their opponents.
The issue is bound TO be the controlling
one in our politics until it is settled. and
the gold men can gain nothing by mis-
representing their opponents and claiming
to be the sole champions of sound money
and safe currency.

THE SUNDAY " GALL"

To the world at large the most important
topic of the day is the treaty of peace be-
tween Japan and China and the means by
which the conquered country will pay the
large indemnity demanded by the con-
queror. This question, which affects the
whole civilized world, is ably and interest
ingly treated by Frank Carpenter in the
Sunday CALL and should be read by every
one who wishes to be thoroughly informed
on this important phase of the affairs of
the Orient.
Perennially interesting to Americans is
the character of Abraham Lincoln, and
every incident of his career is well deserv-
ing of study. Readers of the Sunday CALL
therefore will find a rare treat in an article
by the Hon. Joseph Medill detailing his
recolIections of Lincoln and describing the
plan of campaign adopted by his friends to
put him forward as the Presidential candi-
date of the Republican party in 1860. In
cidentally Mr.. Medill relates the anger of
Seward against him because of his support
of Lincoln, and narrates a conversation
with Lincoln himself in which Lincoln ex-
pressed the belief that his friends were
aiming too high in naming him for the
L 1CoAuVilNys
In the nature of lighter reading the
Sunday CALL offers a large variety.
Among the more important articles of this
kind may be mentioned another of those
charming outdoor studies by a naturalist
which have given so much pleasure to cul-
tured readers, breezy sea sketch by
Denis Kearney, who was sailor before he
became an agitator, and the continuation
of CAPTAIN Kings thrilling story of Fort
Frayne.
In addition to these special articles the
Sunday CALL contains all the news of the
day, varied miscellany of general in
terest; notes on science, literature and art,
and is particularly rich in items OF Pacific
Coast news and industry. The pictorial
work ably illustrates the leading articles
and adds to the attractiveness of the
paper. No better newspaper for family
reading can be found anywhere, and
those therefore who wish to provide their
households tomorrow with good reading
on live topics cannot do better than to
leave orders for the Sunday CALL.

THE OROssLEY TELESCOPE.

The announcement that the $4,000 neces-
sary to obtain the Crossley reflector for the
Lick Observatory has been subscribed will
be received with more than ordinary salts
faction. The promptness with which the
money was given is in itself another
notable proof of the increase of public
spirit among our wealthy citizens, while
the object to which it is to be devoted is
one of the worthiest to which the munif-
cence of wealth can be directed.
For special lines of work a rejecting
telescope is better adapted and yields More
satisfactory results than a refractor. The
Lick Observatory, being without re-
fiector, has been heretofore somewhat
hampered in its work. The gain of the
new instrument, therefore, was necessary
to complete the equipment of the observa-
tory, and fortunately it is an instrument
well worthy to stand beside the great re-
tractor which has made the observatory
famous all over the world.
In giving recognition to the generosity Of
our own citizens who have raised the
money required to defray the cost of bring
ing the glass here, our people will not
overlook the honor due to Mr.. Crossley,
the Englishman who has given not only
the telescope and its mechanism, but the
big dome that covers it. On the part of
Mr.. Crossley, the gift was a donation to
science pure and simple. He selected the
observatory on Mount Hamilton as the OBJ
ject of his generosity solely because the re-
Hector can be of more use to the cause of
science there than in any other position.
1t will come to the Lick Observatory, there
fore, as a species OF tribute to its command
ing site, and in the new position will no
doubt fulfill the lofty ambition of the
donor, and prove in the highest degree
serviceable to the advancement of science
and our knowledge of the heavens.

FROM HEBREW PULPITS.
Sermons Delivered Last Evening at the
Temple Emanuel and Sher-
it'll Israel.

Discussing the question, "Have Young
People Any Religion ?'' at the Temple
Emanuel last evening, DR.. Voorsanger
emphatically answered in the affirmative.
The great mistake made by people, he
said is to draw hard line between youth
and age They do not realize that youth
and age are merely expressive of certain
natural conditions. The ancient Talmud-
lists held that no man has reached the
years of discretion until he is 40 years old.
The disposition of age is toward study and
wisdom. Youth speaks through It's emo
tions, age through its MIND.
The learned doctor cited numerous his
torical instances of sudden responsibility
thrown on Young shoulders, which proved
to be well able to sustain it. He appealed
to. the older members of the jewish COM
munity not to decry the efforts OF their
younger co-religionists.
The subject of Rabbi Nieto's lecture at
Taylor-street synagogue was tractors OF
Destiny"
DR.. Nieto claimed that many weak souls
continually lay all the blame for Ill success
in life to the Deity. There are many indie
pendent factors which are potent in form
ing the destiny of every individual. Re
hgion is one of these, seeing. that through
it the child's mind is trained to its percep-
ton of worldly things. Where there is the
superstitious trait of unusual phenomena,
as the reward or punishment OF human
action, there must necessarily be the mar
rowing down of the reason and a conse-
quent shortness of perception.
The rabbi concluded by urging free and
liberal teaching of religion, absolutely be-
reft of anything approaching superstition
or faith which necessitated the advancing
of miracles as the support of doctrine
inculcated.
