COUNT TO BE WATCHED.
Special Anti FundAEx-.
Governor Markham's Success
full Tour In the Mountains.

Ex-Governor Markham, who made a
memorable tour of the mountain counties
six years ago when he was successful
candidate for Governor, has just gone over
the grohnd which he then canvasged, and
arrived in San Francisco. Speaking. of
his recent tour at committee Headquarters
last night, Governor Markham said:
II spoke at Sonora, Angels, San An
dreas, Jackson, lone, Placerville and Ne
vada City,. The meetings were really
of the campaign six years ago. / met hun
dreds. OF Democrats who say that they
intend 10 vote Tor Mckinley. If one can
form a judgment of the result from the
size and enthusiasm of the meetings l
should say that the Republicans will carry
the State by large majority. There has
been great trend toward Mckinley since
the campaign actively opened. This has
been remarked in all the mining towns"
The Republicans and other sound money
men are making gallant fight in Mendo-
cino County. Shortly after the Chicago
convention the Bryanites shouted that
there would be only one ticket voted in
Mendocino, and that the total vote would
be cast for Bryan. The managers of the
Republican State Central Committee we're
not disturbed by these wild reports, but
proceeded to rally the Repu ublicans and
contest the ground. A splendid fight is
on with chances in favor of Mckinley car
rying the county. In the beginning of the
campaign Mendoci1o was the acknowl-
edged stronghold of the Popocrats, but
the wool men reflected that there could be
no prosperity without protection, hence
the Bryan following has greatly dimin-
ished.-
The Republican State Central Commit
tee is not only determined to bring out
the. Mckinley vote in California, but to
have the votes cast for Republican electors
counted for such electors. A special anti
corruption fund has been raised for the
purpose of defraying the expense of
closely watching the count in every pre-
cinct of San Francisco. The method is
simple, but effective. The observation of
the count will apply, SO far es the State
committee watchers are concerned, to the
general ticket for electors, candidates for
Congress and the Legislature. Every at
tempt of an election officer or clerk TO
cheat in the count will be instantly re-
ported by special messenger or wire to the
bureau charged with the responsibility of
detecting the fraud. The system which the
committee has adopted renders it impos-
| sible for fraud to be committed without
| instant detection.

A Charge of Battery Against Bert Fan
ming Summarily Dismissed.
Bert Tanning appeared in Judge Con-
lan's court yesterday morning 10 answer
charge of battery preferred by Julius
T. Thai. commercial agent. living at
1893 Oak street.
Thai had been annoying FanHing's SIS
ter. She complained to her brother, and
on Monday, when flaming met Thai, he
gave him a sound thrashing. Tanning in

her, and he thought it was his duty TO
chastise him for it.
The Judge said he quite approved OF
Fanning's conduct in protecting his sister
from insult. and he ordered that the case
be dismissed. The courtroom was crowded,
and there was loud applause from the
spectators, which was instantly sup

H. Bendel has replied to some criti-
cisms upon the California Winemakers
Corporation. His answer is in these words:
SAN Francisco, Oct. %, 1896.
Dear Sir: Permit me to make q few remarks
in regard to the statements made by my es-
teemed friend and fellow wine-grower, Mr.. NJ.
T. Tarpey, relating to the wine circulars sent
out by the California wine merchants.
In the first place Mr.. Tarpey is in error when
he states that the wine merchants formed
wine trust in order 10 cut down the price of
wine. This is certainly a mistake, as Mr..
Tarpev can easily ascertain by reading the cor
respondence now on file in my Office.
In the second place the wine merchants did
not arbitrarily fix The price of wine, and in no
case has the wine been sold below the cost of
production these last two years.
agree with Mr.. Tarpey wnen he says "the
coming election is not a mere political contest
between two parties; IL is contest in which
bust ness of all kinds will either be benefited
suffer disastrously," aud for this reason I
cannot understand how Mr.. Tarpey can be in
iavor of the Wilson tariff rs against the Nc
Kinley bill. When the Mckinley bill was in
force the duty on imported wine was SO cents
gallon, while the internal revenue on Cali
fornia brandy was 80 cents. The Wilson bill
has made the change and reduced the duty on
European wines % cents per gallon and on
imported brandy 20 cents per gallon, while 1t
has increased the internal revenue of gour
home product 20 cents per gallon. cannot
see how this has benefited the grape-grower Of
Calitornia Whatever the conditions of affairs
Taay have been in former years there is no
doubt that during the last two years the
profits in the wine business have been equita-

with water we were somewhat surprised at thls discourteous assertion of his.
 This town Levitiea is built up and sus- tained by the same gentleman, who guards the interest of Shalam colony. The two are separa ted by a line, but each separate and distinct from the.other. In Levitica there is no place for politicians, lawyers, priests and preachers, they are classed among thieves andsrobbers. The law suits are regarded greater tyranny and curse on the people of America than was ever exercised by any king or em- peror in the world. A law to settle all matters by arbitration is recommended The people are urged to encourage the worship of Jehova, and by their behavior teach children that His eye is ever upon them, and that His ear heareth all, more over, that all deeds done in the mortal body leave the imprint on the spiritual body forever.
 "To live and to let live" the motto of the vegetarian, is adopted in modes of diet No fish, no flesh of animals is per- mitted on the premises. To slay and eat is held up as cruel and wicked. Milk. eggs, cheese vegetables, cereals, nuts constitute their food
 Much could be written on the peculiarl- ties and objects of the Shalam colony. It must be visited to be enjoyed and appre- ciated. A folly it will in the end no doubt prove to be. but the present management is under the direction of man equal to the emergency, possessing as he does, both ability and means to sustain his widest idiosyncricies.
 At the close of the day full of amaze ment cur little party took leave of Shalam colony. To us it seemed a monstrosity in conception, at variance with all the pre- conceived ideas and notions of rearing children, enacting and enforcing laws and carrying out the plans of Jehovah in the creation of the human family.

age is. too intensely practical and we do not take time to look enough into the unseen.
 The flight of Jacob was like the sinner, all broken and hopeless, fleeing from the wrath to come, but, as the vision unfolded itself to him. oh, what rapture mingled with holy fear come into his soul, and as he woke in the morning and realized that God, indeed, had been there, so is the awakening of a soul into a full knowl- edge of salvation through Christ. He awakes to know of a truth Christ has been here and washed away his sins. Wis ions and minds are designed to impart knowledge not obtained by the exercise of any ordinary process of learning.
 When he reached Bethel it was only lonely, dreary place that only accen- tuated his misery, but before morning he found that the ladder of heaven rested there, and he said, Surely God has been here and I knew 1t not"
 If we will only look for God we may find him in any place. There is strong tendency to localze God and think of him only as in a. certain church, or in on the Sabbath day. When man discov- CTS him as always in the counting room, the court room, the store-everywhere- we will have more genuine Christianity. As Jacob awolSe he at once realized that he was on hallowed ground, and he rev. eIeHceu It aS the mousse OL 1Ou, 6Ntii though there was no material structure to represent it. Reverence is the basis of religion, and unless a man has it, he is either a devil or a fool. We need a simpler, more earnest and real manner of worship. A church that is not the gate of heaven is fraud. It is like blind window in dead wall. If our worship does not open up heaven to us, of what use is it. Let every church stand as the visible expression of the presence of an invisible God.

 The "Brotherhood of St. Andrews, be- longing to St. Mary 's-on-the-Hl ghland, is a very active body of young Christian workers. They send neatly printed invi- tations to every stranger in the city whose names can be found by hotel regis ters and otherwise to attend services at their pretty little church on the South Highlands. This is a graceful act of courtesy to strangers who are our guests over Sunday, and this among other things makes Birmingham an attractive place for travelling men to spend the Sabbath.
