than ever before.
Mr.. Everett disclaimed the idea Of
delivering an address He spoke of the
Importance of the league work in the
church. 1t has been said that opportunity
comes with covered face so he is not
known and with winged feet SO that
once past no man can overtake him.
But the church did not miss grand OPP
portunlty when the league was organized.
He would add ''Look About'' to the
league motto.
Miss Lord spoke of the "Spoke of the
Wheel the department of Spiritual Work.
Mercy and Thought, Literature, Social
work, Correspondence and Finance. She
Thought the league has solved the problem
how to make a.social service sociable and
entertainment entertaining.
DIR. Parsons said that having preached
one sermon on the league he would not
exceed the three minutes left of tho time
AT last the church of Christ has awaited
itself of the services of the young people.
The league can find work for every stray
force in the church and for everyone who
is willing to work for Christ.
The following little hymn of the Ed
worth League by Rev. DR.. Levi Gilbert
was then sung:
Mine eyes have seen the tokens of an
other Pentecost,
Mine ears have heard the gathering of a
dedicated host,
My soul has felt the presence of the
promised Holy Ghost.
Our God it's marching on.
CHORUS.
Look up, lift up, hallelujah /
Look up, lift up, hallelujah !
LOOK up, HIT up, halleluJah
Our league is marching on.
There's r fire of conservation that is
kindling in our mouth,
They are are vowing hearty service to tho
Master and the truth,
Their faith is pure and ardent, and their
works a gospel proof,
Cur youth Is marching on.
CHORUS.
There's fervor of revival burning bright
in many hearts,
There's glow of gen'rou loyalty their
noble purpose starts,
TITS the Spirit of the fathers and the zeal
that Christ imparts,
Our church is marching on.
CHORUS.
They unfurl the Epworth banner, and
behold, the thousands RISE
They are looking up in pray'r to him en-
throned beyond the skies,
They are lifting up their brother from the
ruin where he lies,
Our league is marching on.
CHORUS.

workingmen should not hesitate to sever
the ties which bind them to their old
party and declare for Mckinley. In the
first place their own party's machinery
has been captured and turned against
every tradition snd principle of the party,
and in the second place they are driven to
choose between government policy that
will give the country a season of peace
and prosperity or q season of business agi-
tation and uncertainty. Naturally, man
who has money invested in business en-
terprise would not want his investment
forced to sustain a loss, nor would the
workingman who wants opportunity to
earn wages like to be obliged to remain in
idleness, hence it is quite natural that
business men and wage men should be
found working for the election of the one
who can be trusted to protect their inter
ests. 1t is not politics that is leading so
many Democrats to the support of Nc
Kinley. 1t is to their own business inter
estS to do so.

WAGES AND FREE TRADE.

a brief study of industrial conditions.
presented in the local columns of THE
GALL to-day, shows that wages have been
lowered and that business has been greatly
depressed under the Wilson bill. An
extract from recent article in the New
DIRK Sun shows that wages abroad are
only fraction of what they are in
America, and that England is in better
condition than most European countries.
a glance at the wage table OF England,
however, is discouraging to the American
artisan.
AS workingmen look more closely into
the question they begin to see that the
conditions pictured by the great John
Bright threaten to come upon them here
under free trade. They see also that the
Democrats are lodging the real issue by
making so much noise about silver. Men
OF all shades of political belief now under
stand that much of the lowering of wages
has been due to the Wilson bill, and that
great part of the general business de-
preston is due to the same slight expert
ence with Democratic ideas.
The lesson to be learned from all this is
that the policy of William Jennings Bryan,
which is one of rank free trade, would
plunge the country into general ruin. A
man who predicted that free trade would
make good times is not the man to guide
the destinles of this country. Bryan is a
free trader

San Bernardlno Sun.

San Bernardlno Sun.
The Republican mas s-meeting at the pavilion
last night was one of the most enthusiastic
political gatherings ever assembled in this
county. The general opinion, irrespective OF
party affiliations, was that Hon. Samuel NJ
Shortridge made one of the ablest speeches
ever heard in San Bernardino.
The address is published quite fully in to-
days Sun, and 1t is in every way worthy of
close study. The orator caught the salient
points OF the Campaign and put them forth in
clear and logical manner.
Mr.. Shortridge showed how the Democrats
have failed TO carry out their promises; ex-
planned that free trade and ruin were syn
onyms; and yet he refused TO admit that the
money question is the sole issue, though he
did not dodge it.
Coming to the money problem he showed
beyond question that the Republican party
has always been the friend of silver and OF
sound money, dollar worth 100 cents in
every land on earth.
The strong point of the speech was its fair
ness and good humor. Nobody lett the audi
ence in anger and hundreds went aWay to
ponder over the lessons learned
We need more men like Mr.. Shortridge in
California, men who will sacrifice their pr1-
vate affairs for the good of the party, and who
gladly spend DAYS and nights in teaching the
doctrines of good government in the hour of
their country's peril.

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

Clubs and delegations from all parts of
the country are journeying to Canton to
pay their respects to Major Mckinley. 1t
is noticeable, too, that for the most part
they are composed of workingmen and
farmers, which shows very clearly that
the common people," as Bryan calls
them, know which side OF their bread ia
buttered, so to speak. 1t is the common
people, if farmers aud wage-earners are
common people," who are sorely in need
of better times, and they know that pros
perity will not come to them unless thew
stand by the man who is pledged to a
policy that guarantees better times. Poll
ticians are not running McKinIey's
campaign. It is in the hands of the great
army of men who are in enforced idleness
and who want work, and they are man
aging it to win. They are terribly IN
earnest, because they know that there will
be no prosperous days for them unless
they defeat and rout the free trade enemy
of American industry.
But one OF the most striking demonstra-
tons for Mckinley and prosperity is fur
pished by Chicago. 1t is an organization
calling itself the Commercial Mems DEM
ocratic Mckinley Club" One thousand
of the clubs members have arranged to
call upon Major Mckinley at his home
next Saturday to assure him of their sun
port and influence. There never was lust
such another political organization. No
member OF it has ever voted ticket other
than the Democratic. They are still DEM
ocrats, they claim. but they believe that
not only their own but all the business
interests of the country are being threat
ened, and that so far as they are concerned
it is their duty to rally to the support of
the only candidate who stands for souno
business principles, even though they do
not like certain of his declarations con-
corning the tariff. What they want is
security to their business enterprises and
encouragement to expand their volume of
trade, and they know they will get neither
if Bryan is elected.
1t is not surprising, however, that
thoughtful Democratic business men and

will pay, for labor costs $40 a day. The miner
must eat what he can get and be grateful. If
he be stocked with bacon, beans and flour he
may call himself one of the elect.

been made by different Alaska miners who
have arrived here are greatly discounted by

the partners and Others who had known some
of these men intimately" said Mr.. Althenour,
that for every $1,000 alleged TO have been
made on arrival in California or any of the
coast States the correct amount was apt TO be
about 500. So that for every miner alleged
to have made SIS, 900 say, when 1 got at the
facts through their friends there it would be
ABOUT $500. These men knew all about what
dust and nuggets had been got out. They had
seen the stuff weighed.

geration. Nobody knows that better than the
men who are in Alaska digging for gold.'

FUSION AND FIzzLE.

1t is the unexpected that happens.
When a few office seeking Democrats and
Populists under took through their inter
ested friends to arr ange for fusion of the
voting strength of both parties in order
that these office-seekers might attain the
desired spoils, it was everywhere pre-
dicted that the result would be confusion.
The prediction has not been fulfilled.
Fusion has not brought forth confusion as
yet, nor is it likely to do so. 1t has been
simply fizzle.
The difficulties inherent in the fusion
plan have been found to be inseparable.
Each party has candidates for Office, and
the candidates of neither party whothink
they have any chance of success have
cared to surrender that chance to the
candidate of the other party. The Dem
ocratic managers endeavored to avoid this
difficulty by getting the Populists to yield
the nominations in districts where there
is q prospect of success. and accepting
nominations where there is little better
than forlorn hope. Thus Mcguire, a
rank free-trad Democrat, was to have the
Fourth District, where he may possibly
win, while to a Populist would be given
the nomination in the Fifth, where there
is no more chance of his election than
there is of Bryan carrying the United
States.
The scheme of the Democrats, how
ever, has not worked. 1t has not even
done enough to produce confusion. The
Democratic candidates for Office have re-
fused to come down even in districts where
they have no chance of election. Some of
them intend TO stay in the field for vindi-
cation, some for the free advertising there
is in the race, and some for the principle
of the thing. Several Populists show an
equal fondness for principle, free adver-
Using and vindication. Thus the clever
scheme goes awry and instead Of confusion
we have only the izzle.
If there were no more in the cam paign
than the election of Congressman and
Presidential electors the failure OF the
fusion scheme would be complete. 1t hap
pens, however, that legislative and county
tickets are to be elected, and in all the
counties and legislative districts the cum
ming Democratic managers are trying to
arrange for fusion that will give them the
spoils of office and leave to the Populists
only the barren nominations in hopel ess
districts. The exposure of the scheme of
central fusion has been complete enough
to open the eyes OF many Populists to the
trick that is to be played on them if they
don't look out, and most of them will GER
tainly refuse to be fooled in that way. 1t
remains to be seen how many the Demo-
Gratis can fool. These are not likely TO be
many. The watchful middle of-the- road
Populists understand the situation about
as well as anybody and they can be relied
on to save their political friends from the
folly of fusion which means turkey for
Democrats but always crow for Populists

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

q. T. Althenour, gold miner, at the Inter
national Hotel, who has been seeing the diff
1erent mining camps of Alaska since March,
says that he is entirely satisfied to remain in
this part OF the United States instead of cast
ing his lot with the distant north.
he says II is simply a case of the far-away
plrd having fine feathers. When q man gets

THE SITUATION IN CALIFORNIA.

The political situation in California is
this: The Democrats and Populists In
every county are fighting each other for
supremacy, and the Republicans are
united and present a solid front. Rather
than be absorbed by the Populists very
many Democrats would rather see both
parties defeated. Not a few Populists
would rather see the Republican candidate
win than see Democrat elected at the
expense of the Populist party. The fact
remains, however, that thus far the Popu-
lists have been made tails to Democratic
dogs. That is to say, the Democrats have
generated the Popnlists out of what
was their due if fusion was intended. 1t
may be said, in fact, that thus far the
Democrats have exercised kind OF an
ownership over the Populists, giving them
just enough crumbs to keep life in their
body. Against that sort of thing the self
respecting leaders of the Populist party
are rebelling most vigorously, and unless
they are unworthy of leadership they will
make the Democracy very sorry in Novem-
Der that it tried to be wholly and entirely
a hog.
The Republican party is, as we have
said, thoroughly united and of one &C
cord in every county. Unless every
sign Is at fault Mckinley and the
State tickets will be elected by splen-
did maiorities. The leaders of the
Democracy know that the majority of
the voters of California are against them.
but they hope to manage to have enough
Republicans stay at home to defeat their
ticket. For this reason it is all the more
important that there should be club or
other organization wherever there are
dozen Republicans. 1t will not do to
trust to luck when dealing with the Demo-
cratic party. Besides. the Republican
ticket should have such majority as will
make Democrats feel hereafter that it
would not be worth their while to try to
win.
The fight between the Democrats and
Populists ought to stimulate Republicans
all over the State to work all the harder.
They never had better opportunity to
administer crushing defeat to the
Democracy, and that is the kind of de-
feat every Republican should take a per-
sonal interest in having administered.
To-day the Republican party presents
solid front, but there is room here and
there for more perfect organization, and
there are Republicans here and there who
