AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.

The Boston Standard is a new daily
started two weeks ago by Major Alfred 4.
Calhoun, who hitherto has been known as
the author of Marching Through Georgia"
and of some excellent stories. He has
gathered about him "a corps Of men and
women who are distinguished, as he also
is, for an intense love of their country and
for their elevating influence upon the
morals of the people. In his salutatory
Major Calhoun announced that he would
publish ali the news that the people ought
to have and suppress none that they should
know, land without fear of or favor to any
party, creed, sect or society it viii en-
deavor, with Gods help, to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
let the consequences be what they may"
No advertisements of any character
which would have a tendency to democrat
ize the readers, no advertisements of
lotteries or other robbing and swindling
enterprises are admitted to its columns.
On the contrary, every agency having the
moral and material welfare of the people
as its object is encouraged.
The most interesting feature of this dar-
ing venture is its immediate success. 1t
leaped at once TO circulation almost, if
not quite, equal to that of the old dailies.
This was not because it contains more
news, for it deliberately suppresses or
barely mentions those kinds of news
which are the richest morsels of ordinary
daily journalism. Like the CALL it refused
to publish the inconceivably vile details of
the Wilde-Queensberry sensation" Its
policy, evidently, is based on the belief
that in cultivating and then pandering to
whatever vicious tastes may exist in the
community, newspapers are a power for
immeasurable evil; that no newspaper has
a moral right to publish that which is de-
basing; that in every community there is
large uncorrupted and incorruptible ele-
ment that is eager for decent and helpful
journalism, and that the financial rewards
of journalism must manifestly be greater
if the community is lifted up by manly
and wholesome journalism than If lowered
by degrading newspapers.
The innovation OF the Standard has de-
lighted while it has startled all Boston. A
week ago the Rev. DR.. Brady, a clergyman
of that city, preached sermon on that
paper before an audience composed of
thousands assembled to hear what he
should say about it. His sermon was
memorable one. Among other things he
said:
There are some features about the Standards
beginning that do not exist in regard to any
other daily in Boston, or, indeed, anywhere
else for that matter. Its policy was not Matched
under q mercenary incubator in counting
room. 1t was commenced to foster righteous

MINISTER'S MEETINGS.
Baptists Listen to an Address o
Methodism 1.-THE Congre-
gational Club.

The Baptists Preachers Association lis
tened yesterday morning to talk by Rev.
f. D. Bovard OF the First M. E. Church,
Alameda, upon "Methodism."
The speaker gave an interesting
history of the Methodist body on
the Pacific Coast, supporting his state
ments with a number of statistics. He
began with an account of the founding OF
the Powell-street Church in 1851 by Bishop
Taylor, touched on the division of the
State into two conferences in 1876, and gave
detailed account of the active work OF
these conferences. The property of the
Methodist Episcopal church was also de-
scribed, and its educational institutions.
1--WE DESIRE" said the speaker, "to unite
our two colleges of Napa and Santa Clara.
So far we have no theological college"
DIR. Bovard also stated that the Metho-
dist body had recently adopted new plan
with regard 10 old and disabled clergyman.
Instead of being made to feel that they are
objects of charity they are now given COM
pensation in proportion to the services
they have rendered in the days of their
activity.
No discussion followed the paper, the
ministers present merely asking questions
of the speaker whenever they wanted a
point enlarged upon. At the conclusion
of the meeting resolutions were passed
against Sunday funerals.
The Congregationalists yesterday after
noon listened 10 paper by Gilbert Dex-
ter upon "a Consecrated Church and a
Consecrated Ministry in which he urged
that every consecrated Christian should
let himself be guided by the golden rule
and the sermon on the mount. When
church and ministry are truly consecrated
then there is little to fear.
Rev. T. Kimball, Rev. William Tubbs
and Chaplain Rowell were appointed a
committee to draft resolutions Of regret for
the death of A. L. Rankin, for many years
member of the Congregational Monday
Club.
Next Monday DR.. Heron will address
the club on 1.-The Christian Revival of the
Nation" The auditorium of the Y. III. c.
A. has been taken for the occasion and the
ministers of all Protestant denominations
have been invited.
Rev. Mr.. Emery of st. Peters Episcopal
Church has been appointed by Bishop
Nichols locem tenens CT the Church Of the
Advent.
Sacred week will be observed all this
week in the Grace NJ. E. Church. There
will be special preachers every evening.

A SUBSTANTIAL CITY.

There is now at work at Petalnma-so
quietly that the importance of it has been
nearly oVerlooked-a United States dredger
enlarging the navigation facilities OF Peta-
luna Greek. Next to Napa River this is
the most important OF the nayigable
streams flowing eastwardly into San Pablo
Bay from the mountains of Napa and
Sonoma counties.
Like Napa City Petaluma enjoys the adj
vantage of both water and rail transporta-
ton, for besides being at the head OF navi-
CATION of Petaluma Creek it is on the main
line of the North Pacific Coast Railroad.
The fact that steamers ply regularly be-
tween it and San Francisco creates whole
some competition, which has contributed
substantially to the prosperity of the
fourishing city and its vicinity.
Petaluma has successfully demonstrated
the fact that poultry-raising in California
can be made one of our most profitable
industries. To the shame OF California, it
must be confessed that we annually ship
hither from the Eastern States large guam
titles of eggs and butter, and yet the poultry
and dairy business OF Petaluma furnishes
convincing evidence that these two partly
neglected industries in California can be
profitably conducted. 1t was the great
success made by Petaluma in the poultry
business that led to the invention and
manufacture of the Petaluma incubator,
which is produced by that city and used in
every part of the Pacific Slope.
It was only year or two ago that Peta-
luna made another great stride forward.
Up to that time her immense dairy bust
ness had been conducted on the primitive
lines-not too clean-which had always
prevailed in California. When the made
quay OF this method became clear to the
dairymen of Petaluma they organized into
communities, and each community pro.
vided itself with the latest improved
machinery for treating milk. Under this
System the milk, warm from the cow, is
placed in the separators, which in an in
slant, by mechanical means, separate the
cream from the milk and in another
instant manufacture it into butter. I'm
cleanliness and the deleterious effects Of
sour milk are completely avoided. 1t is
for these reasons that the butter of Peta-
luna is SO popular in San Francisco and
brings such excellent prices.
These are the leading industries, but, in
addition to them, are others OF great import
ance One of them is the Carlson-Currier silk
mill, which, with 1900 spindles and over a
hundred operatives. transforms the cocoons
into thread for all purposes. Besides an
extensive steam saddle tree factory, shoe
factories, pickle and preserve factory and
numerous others, the lumber and milling
interests of the city are important.
Sonoma County is very proud Of its
southern extremity as thus developed in
the region of Petaluma, and is justly ex-
pecting further increase Of its prosperity
from that source.

the fact that lying all about and COM
pletely enyironing them is a vast world
that with the last century has learned the
necessity of moving on established lines.
The mere tearing down of an old edifice
without definite plan for new which
shall take its stead no longer has place
in the architectural scheme OF nations.
Let US suppose that the ruling spirits OF
the Cuban revolt were men of high charac-
ter and substantial means; that in some
way-secretly if need be-they had or
| ganized themselves into band OF patriots
determined to liberate their country; that
thereupon they had formulated their
grievances against the Spanish Govern
ment and placed them in the hands of all
civilized countries, with an appeal TO
Christendom for aid or interference; that
in the absence OF possible aid from the
nations a scheme of government had been
planned and at least put on paper, includ-
ing, say, constitution and laws providing
for form OF government. In that event
the respect, sympathy and possibly assist
ance of some great nations might have
been secured.
The absence of all these things is OBJ
SeIFaDle. NO appear mas Deen Hdue3 Ho
scheme of government proposed, no bene-
fits of freedom suggested. Revolutions, in
order to be successful, must be based on an
alternative higher than that of slave who
resists being beaten and robbed by his
master. Even temporary physical success
would not mean a moral victory. What
ever wrongs she may have practiced in the
government of Cuba, Spain must receive
the moral support Of the world in the abb
sence of better showing on the part OF
those who aim TO overthrow her authority.

The whereabouts of an Eloping Couple
Has Been Discovered.


Has Been Discovered.
Several weeks ago Lizzie Behan, the 10
year-old daughter OF John Behan of the
Occidental Hotel, eloped with Roy Ray
mond, notorious politician. An account
of the affair, together with the photo
graphs of the pair, was published IN the
CALL at the time, and not without result,
it appears.
The police telegraphed to all parts of the
State for news concerning the absconders,
but without result. Finally a letter was
received from resident of Portland, who
stated that he had read the account of the
elopement in the CALL, and that he was
convinced he had seen the couple in that
city. Another letter was received by Sec
rotary McComb on Saturday stating that
Raymond had been identified, and that if
it was desired his arrest would follow.
John Behan, the father of the girl, an
nounced his Willingness yesterday TO
prosecute Raymond for bigamy in swear
ing at the marriage license office that she
was of legal age. He swore out warrant
