GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

upon the people to make them good citi-
zens. III this is done successfully, such
occurrences, for example, as the out
breaks Of mob violence in two .ssmties of
neighboring Maryland, and the indisposi-
tion OF the county authorities to ferret
out the guilty parties, would never again
come to pass. Good citizens would not
attempt to subvert the orderly procedures
OF the courts, and il lawbreakers should
do so, the good citizens would do their
utmost to discover the guilty ones and
bring them to justice.
Good citizenship is the foupda ton upon
which rests the whole superstructure of
the republic. While it is the special PROV
ince OF the church to make men fit to be-
come acceptable citizens OF the Kingdom
more conscientious man is in his reIa-
tions and in the discharge of his duties
to the government under which he lives.
of which, in fact, he is u part, the better
will be his chances of doing right SO fur
as his obligations to the higher power
are concerned.
After all, the whole scheme of good
citizenship may be compressed within the
compass of eleven famous words: "Do
unto others as you would have others do
unto ysu." Upon this hang the law and
the prophets.

CALIFORNIA S KING OF TUNS.
The Monster Vat at Heidelburg Has
Been Eclipsed.

The great tuD of HeidcIburg, which for
150 years has been tie largest cask in the
world and as such has gained fame in his
tory, has been cciipsed by the erection OF
a monster vat in a vineyard Iir-l fIesno,
Cal, which will be known at the King Of
TuDs.
The great tun Ecld 42,0CO gallons. but
for years it has not been used, as the vine
yards of Heidelburg castle did not produce
sufficient grapes. The king Of tuns hold
80 900 gallons. being almost twice as
large as the great tuD.
In the construction of the California
king of tuns enough lumber was used TO
erect mansion. and two car Loads of steel
were required for tie hoops. TIE giant
cask stands thirty feet higt, is twenty six
feet in diameter and will hold thirty car
loads of wine. In addition to this monster
there are three otter tuDs in the same
vineyard which are larger than the great
tun, but they are dwarfs alongside the
big fellow.
Ihe king OF tuns is built of the native
redwood of California. The lumber was
cut especially for Il, and but one piece in
ten would PASS the required inspection,
as not knot or Il flaw was allowed. The
wood was seasoned for two years bef )re
the oask was built. The St George vine-
yard. in which the largest tun in the world
was built, produces annually a quarter
of a million gallons OF wine.
This enormous vat was not built as a
curiosity, but for service, and will be filled
each year. George H. Malta, one OF the
owners OF the st. George vineyard, explains
that in order to insure sufficient supply
of wine that will be of uniform quality
1t is necessary that Il shall be mixed to-
gether. Two vats filled at the same tim e
and treated as nearly alike as is pos
sible will lie found Ia have differe Mt flavor
The king of tuns is one of the most prom
inent objects in the Fresno valley. 1t
towers high above all the other buildings
and can be seen for miles in any direction
1t is so substantially built that it is ex-
pected to last for centuries. Longfellow
mentions the great tun OF Heidelberg liz his
Hyperion" Perhaps some future now
elist will weave romance about the king
of tuns at Fresno.

Joint Traffic Managers Take an I'M
pOrtant Action.
The joint traffic managers have decided
prevailing conditions, it was inexpedient to
recommend an advance in any trunk line
rates which were reduced during the sum-
mer and which expired by limitation at
this time. Accordingly, circulars have been
issued extending the present low rates on
various commodities in most cases until
the end of tie year. these rates to apply
aot only to car loads but to less than car
lots also.
The one exception was the advance in the
corn rate on the 18th; but there were spe-
cial circums .ances which made this course
expedient, especially those relating to the
effect the continuation of the low ra te
would have upon corn products. 1t was
clear that rates these products would
have had to be reduced if the rate on corn
itself were continued at the low basis
The joint traffic managers are watching
with great interest developments in the
Western Freight Association, especially as
some of the western roads are becoming
greatly dissatisfied with it's workings and
are trying hard to induce the members to
fern a new association on the orGer of the
Joint Traffic Association. Commissioner
Midglay's circulars of late represent a con-
dition in the Western Freight Association
which 1t is believed threatens the very life
of that body. There is no penalty attached
to violations of agreement, and responsible
ity of rates rests SO largely with the COM
missioner as to make the roads Indifferent
to observing them. The Joint Traffic Asso-
CATION on the other hand, has the re-
sponsibility of rates thrown entirely on Its
beard of managers. and these managers
represent every system IN the association
There is also penalty attached to viola

CITY AND DISTRICT.


Rev Dr. T. De Witt Talmage preached
one of his Characteristic sermons yesterday
morning in the First Presbyterian Church.
In II he made a brief reference to the
political campaign, giving his views upon
the question whether ministers should dis
cuss politics from their pulpits:.
This country, he said. has been for
the most part of its history passing through
crises, and after each crisis was better off
than before 1t entered it. and now We are
at another crisis. We are told, one
hand, that If gold is kept a standard
and silver is not elevated. confidence Will
be restored and this nation will rise trium-
phant from ali tie financ- al misfortunes that
have been affecting US. on the other hand,
We are told that If the free coinage of silver
is allowed. all the wheels of business will
reVolVe. the poor man will have 4 better
chance. and all ouI industries Will begin to
hum and roar.
During the last six presidential electi ons
i have been urged to enter the political
arena. but | never have and never will
turn the pulpit in which l preach into a
political stump. Every minister must do as
he feels called to do. and l will not Criticise
him for doing what he considers his duty;
from now until the 81 of November will no;
in all the United States change one vote,
but will leave mahy ears stopped against
anything that such clergymen may utter
the rest of their lives. AS n general rule,
the laymen of churches understand politics
better than the clergy, because they Che
laymen) study politics more than the
clergy. and have better opportunity of be-
ing Intelligent on those subjects. But good
morals, honesty, loyalty. Christian patriot
ism. and the Ten Commandments. these we

SINGLE TAX QUESTIONS.
Social and Economic Considerations
for TemperaMcc Folk.


for Temperance Folk.
The single tax meeting near Rawlins'
statue yesterday was addressed by DR..
Steiner, Webster Groh and ]. H. Eschlepp.
1t was unanimously voted to send the fol-
lowing quest tions to the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, the Anti-Saloon League
and other temperance organizations:
1. "As appetite for bread causes bakeries,
instead of bakeries causing appetite, does
not appetite for stimulants cause saloons,
instead of saloons causing appetite?
.. BY care, anxiety and overwork bur-
dening the poor, and Incidence enervating
the rich is not the appetite for stimulants
fCStered?"
3. can we abolish intemperance without
eradicating its primary cause.-the unjust
social conditions which cause the undue
extremes of wealth and poverty fostering
the appetite for intoxicants?"
4. LAS land, labor and capital Jointly pro-
duce all wealth, can labor's share thereof
be increased without diminishing the share
of either other factor? Can temperance,
without altering the ratio of distribution,
Increase the already temperate laborer' 3
wages?'
D. LAS 'sweated' sewing women and many
other total abStainerS are very poor, does
not something other than intemperance
cause poverty? If. while competing toilers
spree on surplus earnings. these abstainers
still suffer dire want, what If their COM
petitors reform, remain sober, compete in
cesssantly and, needing no surplus for
sprees, still further underbid their present
wages?"
6. ..If slum dwellers reformed would not
the increased desirability of living near
them simply increase their rents?
{. IF taxing tobacco, whisky and saloons
| makes them scarce, ought We make indus
| try, food. clothing and shelter scarce by
| taxing tbem?"
| s. ITO make temperance reform effectua
| must not economic reform precede it?'

Central Union Mission.

Special services were held last evening
in the Fifteenth Street Methodist Church,
under the auspices of the Central Union
Mission. Mr.. E. O. Bailey, who presided,
spoke about the work of the mission, what
it had done and what it was doing, and
recited incidents which occurred during
the twelve years of Its existence to show
that 1t had been q success.
The mission at the present time is in
need, and finds that it must call on the
public for aid. In a short time a payment
Of $50 must be made; but there is no
money on hand with which to pay it. To
this demand must be added the deficit Of
current expenses, amounting to 500, and
this amount, too, must be raised.
The twelfth anniversary Of the mission
will be celebrated October 13, but just
where and In what manner the board of
directors have not yet decided. This mat
ter will come up for. discussion at the
| boards meeting tomorrow afternoon, when
it is expected the whole matter will be
| finally determined. 1t is expected that the
anniversary program will be an elaborate
| one. and will combine many interesting

TRANsCONTINENT TRADE.
Activity Among the Railroad and
Steamship Lines.

The managers of transcontinental rail-
roads have been especially active for the
last six months or more rearranging sched
ules of passenger and freight trains to ac-
commodate the public better, as we'll as
tariffs to meet changing conditions in the
business. Southern Pacific has within
month been noticeably stirred up in this
direction. 1t is said that this change in tie
situation is the result Of Increasing compe
tition, and that the Panama route Is a con-
siderable factor in the case.
The Panama Railroad Company has put
itself in a position where it now does the
largest business in its history, and is laying
plans by which its business will be increas-
ed many fold more. Most important in
this development is the work now being
done to enlarge and deepen the harbor at
Panama.
For fifty years or more that company has
been transferring cargoes from steamers
by means Of lighters for its rail lines, max
ing expense which commerce in recent
years has shown increasing unwillingness
to stand. 1t Is now proposed to create a
harbor which will permit a steamer Of
deepest draUght to come up alongside the
ccmpany's terminals and transfer oargo
directly into the cars, thus saving lighter
age expenses.
1t Is understood that upward Of one mil
| lion dollars is to be spent in enlarging the
ccmpany's terminals and improving its har-
| bors. There are now, in addition to the
| company's own steamship line opera ting in
| connection with the Pacific Mail Company
| seven other steamship lines connecting
| with the Panama road on this side, some OF
| them running direct to Europe and dis
| tributing freight to the west coast Of North
| and South America.
