given away each day. The Home Con-
gress brought out many instructive lee
lures, not only on the science ofcooking,
but ethics and other subjects were intro
duced. When weary of sightseeing and
sampling specimens, or visiting the art
gallery, you could seat yourself to listen
to the band concert. In the midst of
classical piece of music, you might hear
the toling of country cow bell and dis

Ian rIaclaren's Visit.

Rev. John Watson of Drumtochty has
seized the psychological moment for his
visit to America. His popularity with the
reading public is at full tide, and people
are naturally eager to see the man whose
books have so powerfully touched the
springs of mirth and tears in their hearts.
If his reception elsewhere is as cordial as
it has been in Chicago, he is likely to
return to his Liverpool parish with
roseate recollections of the American
people. AS the guest of the Twentieth
Century club, he spoke to about the
largest gathering in the history of that
organization, while his public lecture on
the evening following was delivered to an
audience that packed the hall from pit to
uppergallery. 1t is impossible to escape
the charm of his personality, although
upon reflection one does not recall that
he has Said anything very striking. He
could not have made speeches at a more
vigorous rate if he had been candidate
for the presidency. No day without a
lecture seems to be his motto-or, at
least, the motto of his enterprising man.

Wise Above What is Written.

BY SIDNEY IL. HATCH, Everett, Mass.
There are men who pose as wise 'uns.
We pass daily on the street;
Concentration Of all wisdom,
Judging by their own conccit;
They will tell you that the Bible
Is an antiquated book
Full OF errors, that no scholars
For instruction in it look,
They can't sail across the ocean
In basket for ship;
They cant 'clipse the sun at noonday
With their little talow dip.
They will talk to you of reason,
Quote Tom Paine, Hume and Voltaire.
Robert lngersoll and Others
And their gospels Of despair;
Tell of great mistakes and errors
Moses and the others made,
And against all revelation
Ope their popgun fusiIade;
But
They can't hold the forked lightning
With their little fingers grip;
They can't 'clipse the sun at noonday
With their little tallow dip.
They may try to hide the sunlight
From this glorious world of ours,
Try to stop the feathered songsters
Warbling in their wildwood bowers;
They may think to turn the cyclone
From it's whirling track of death
Or to stay the march of winter
With his white and frosty breath;
Seek to drain the Mississippi
Gifts water with sip;
But they can't 'clipse truth eternal
With their little tallow dip.

Our Boston Letter.

Correspondence of the CALIFORNIAN
AT last the whole country has been
partially relieved from the severe strain
of the last few months regarding presi-
Dental issues, but more especially con-
corning the verdict of the vexed and per-
picked questions of finance; and the
American people feel that they can take
a long breath and thank the Lord for
this victory. Upon flag Gay majority
of the people in Boston and adjoining
towns manifested their loyalty to and
affection for the flag and country by the
great variety of large and small ones
and quantity of bunting suspended from
the houses and that decorated the lawns.
Boston had a festive appearance all OF
last week and Harvard students had
high time" in celebrating the victory as
well as others. But Massachusetts does
not yet seem ready to adopt biennial
election. The law for 116 years is not
easily set aside, even if 43 other states
view it differently. Cambridge, Mass,
can no longer be claimed as democratic
city, since Mckinley carried it by 1867
votes, although it was patriotic, not
partisan vote this year. There are some
men who are eating considerable humble
pie lately on account OF their losses in
betting on the election, but little sympa-
thy is wasted upon them. The New
York Journal, an organ for the silver
party and only one cent per copy, has
been doing lively business all the sum-
mer and autumn sending on its daily
papers so as to reach Boston in advance
of the afternoon issues of the dailies
here, and claimed to contain the very
latest news. A worthy man, painter
and regular subscriber of the New York
paper, became so impressed with the
idea that if Bryan was not elected that
the whole country was on the verge OF
ruin and disaster, took all of his property
in stocks to the Boston auction rooms t o
be sold if Mckinley was elected. Judge
of his great surprise when he learned a
few hours after the election that they had
rebounded at the good news and he had
lost more money than he could earn in a
good while. A severe object lesson to
the man for not reading the right kind of
newspaper. Straws show how quickly
the tide will turn when confidence is
again restored to the people of the coun-
try. For more than month past
thousands ofvisitors have been attracted
to Boston for several reasons besides
that of ordinary business. The 5Oth
anniversary of the American Missionary
association proved very interesting
occasion and brought hosts OF people
here from all over the country. Bands
of those colored people from the South
are now going the rounds OF the large
towns and cities giving concerts IN order
TO raise money for current expenses tor
the coming year. One voice that made
a rousing address at one of the patriotic
noonday meetings at Faneuil hall is now

LATE STATE ooNvENT1oN.

The Republican state central COM
mittee meets at Topeka today for the
purpose of fixing the time and place
for the state convention. There are
three candidates for the honor of the
holding-Hutchinson Abilene and To-
peka. The committee otherwise has
grave responsibility resting upon its
hands in the matter of the time. In
our judgment the question should De
decided without reference to the
chances or demands of candidates. The
Republican party of Kansas is not a
unit today, nor can any candidate or
any convention make il so. Off-hand.
If it becomes unit it will be through
the voluntary action Of its individual
membership. And this will only be
possible after the lapse Of some time.
The political events and declarations
Of next month may be followed by a
swift and solid lining up of all the Re
publican forces, but convention called
and convened within the next month
would proceed TO row, and probably to
split, for until the free trade doctrine
Of the Democrats are set out and the
vagaries Of the Pops affirmed, ii would
be impossible TO prevent the silver IS
sue from being sprung in the state con-
vention. There are questions which
will settle themselves If given a reason
able time. but which if pressed now
will lose the state to the Republican
marty. With either of the last four
national Republican platforms on the
money question and Kansas would be
found a unit with either an early or a
late convention. But on the money
question the party, in national conven-
ton. has taken new, and to the west,
an unexpected departure, and it is not
reasonable to calculate that satisfac-
tory adjustments will take place imme-
diately. Back, upon at least one ira
ditional plank, we cannot De pointing
with pride, for the simple reason that
new departure fills its traditional
space. Only the last national plat
form, the one previous TO that of st.
Louis. said that 1.-The American people
from tradition and interest favor BIZ
metallism." 1t seems that they do
nothing of the kind, and the average
Kansas fellow will want a little time
in which 10 realize that the American
people do not favor bimetallism, either
from tradition or interest. SO the con-
vention might better come late. Be
sides late convention will afford OPP
portunity, in the meantime, for some of
the numerous candidates for governor
to dispose of one another without wait
ing for the convention, and thereby
preventing any further jeopardizinS
the success of the party by their pull
ings and puShingS.
