filled with old sash will be replaced
with temporary sash with panes Of
glass, to enclose and preserve the
building, and the old modern doors
will be replaced with copies Of the
original doors, OF solid nail studded
wood. The inside walls will be
cleaned with steel brushes and the
ioists will be repointed with NOR
tar. Loose stone and rubbish in
side will also be removed. The
original gray color Of the building
will be restored.

of the saloon had concluded to roll
his building off the premises to
another location, to which his

could do so and ordered the car

said the saloon must not
be moved until permit
from the city was obtained.
Matters rested here for awhile, but
when one of the carpenters again
recommended work, the aged, but
yet active landlady attacked him
with tongue and finger nails, and
with the latter inflicted deep
scratches on his face and hands,
from which the blood flowed free

promoting peace without making
any arrests, though the moving

THE SPIRIT OF THIS DAY

One thousand, eight hundred and
ninety-six years ago today the founder
Of the Christian religion was born, and
:. although his ministry abruptly ended
after three short years, he gave the
world a truer and more comprehensive
code of ethics than any former teacher.
The world is infinitely better off for
Christ having lived in it. He taught no
new philosophy, nor did he esta blish
system of religion that differed mater
tally from the esoteric meaning Of other
religions. 1t may be said. indeed, that
he merely extracted the inner meaning
of all religions and out of them formu-
lated new rule for mans conduct of
life, based upon the doctrine of the
brotherhood of man. or, as Christ him
self put it, Love they neighbor as thy
self"
The central idea of Christ's ethics is
that whatever is calculated to make
man better, happier and more faithful
to his obligations to his neighbor is right.
Meekness of spirit and purity of heart
are essential to spiritual unfoldment, ac-
cording to Christ's philosophy of ex-
istence, but Buddha taught the same
doctrine only that he covered it up with
layers of almost impenetrable meta
physics. For more than nineteen hun
dred years the evolution of civilization
has been upon the lines laid down by
Christ. Even India and China owe more
to the ethics of Christ than to the phil
osophy of their own teachers for the
advance they have made in recent years
In the practical application of the prin-
cipal of domestic and political economy.
1t was no fault of the rule of conduct
which Christ formulated for the conduct
of individuals that human blood was
made to run as rivers during more than
two-thirds of the centuries following his
advent, but it is held by not few that
the civilization of the nineteenth CEN
tury is all the stronger and better for
having the marks of heroic struggle upon
N-IIldi hS that were transmitted from ltS
predecessors. But be that as it NAV.
the ideal social and political government,
all admit, is the one that is founded
upon the principles of community and
inter-community relations as promul-
gated by Christ in what is familiarly
called THE Sermon on the Mount The
principle upon which the government of
the United States is founded is more in
harmony with Clirist's code of political
and social ethics than that of any other
nation, but no nation conducts its public
affairs upon lines that are more antag-
onistic to the doctrine Of the brotherhood
of man than these United States 1t is
the poor man who cannot pass through
the needles eye; it is the governments S
fayorites who occupy the high seats in
the synagogue; it is the trusts and mo-
nopolies in whom there is no guile

PUBLIC SENTIMENT

Practically every newspaper in Cali
fornia is against the funding bill. There
are few country and fewer metropoli-
tan papers supporting the steal, but they
draw their life-blood from the treasury
of the Southern Pacific's strong box,
and they have to do as they are told.
They could not live a month without a
voucher from Mr. Huntington's monop-
oily, and since it is a question of bread
and butter with them, why, let them go,
for men will do things to get bite to
eat when hungry that they would not
think of doing were they better circum-
stanced.
1t is said the newspapers mold pub
lie opinion. which is true in a measure,
but public sentiment is so strong against
the refunding scheme that no sure
enough paper could afford to run counter
to it. If the people of California are of
one mind upon any question, it is that
the funding bill should not become a
law, anu upon lndt particular issue the
public is editing the newspapers. The
public have been so outraged by
robber freight rates and passenger fares
so long that they are out of all patience
with the Southern Pacific, and hence
the proposition to practically donate to
the several Pacific roads over $11O. .OO0. =
600 in cold cash is exasperating in the
extreme. IF the congress of the United
States is not owned body and soul by
these Pacific railways, it certainly will
not snub the people of the great state
Of California and give the Huntington
ring the enormous sum of money it is
demanding.

always and still looks to the strong
arm of the great middle class to remove
obstacles which hinder its advance. it
may be asserted with confidence that
the Christ principle will overthrow and
overturn when the beam in the eyes of
the nations favored few becomes so ex-
panded that they cannot sec the un-
favored millions upon whom they are
tramping, and whose ears are so be-
guiled by the music of clinking gold that
they cannot hear the cry of the dis
tressed.

A FRANK CONFESSION

The San Francisco Call is honest
enough to say:-"As Speaker Reed once
said, This is a billion dollar country
We cannot afford to restrict it's energies
ard limit its expansion in order to salts
fy the small ideas of the free traders.
The United States must go forward. She
ture to afford to stop now on her on
ward career"
This Is frank admission Of the pur-
pose Of the Republican party to begin
the Mckinley administration with the
expenditure Of money the like of which
the country has never seen. I'VE can
rot afford to restrict it's energies and
limit its expansion" means that money
is to be poured out like water in all kinds
of extravagant public enterprises, and
bond issue after bond issue will be
made to provide the necessary funds.
Among other things that money will
be blown into" according to
the Call, are irrigation plants and
q merchant marine. The idea seems
to be to relieve the communities in the
arid regions of the expense of construct
ing irrigation plants. and subsidize ships
to enable them to compete with the ships
of other countries.
OF course the Call takes the position
that with high tariff duties money en-
ough would be collected at the custom
houses, but that kind of talk Is to fool
the people. The Mckinley tariff failed
by ss7,ooo.OO0 to provide revenue enough
to meet the ordinary expenditures of
the government, and now the propo-
sition is to re-enact the Mckinley sched-
ule and vote extraordinary expendi-
lures. But the Call, like all other Re-
publican newspapers, has been in
structed to educate the public up to
the point where it will be safe to in
augurate a system of money-spending
that will necessitate the issuing of bonds
in blocks of s1OO,OOO0O0.

ANOTHER DEFEAT

The Parkhurst society's case against
the keeper of a notorious resort was dis
missed in the police court yesterday. 1t
was in this persons house where the
Summing committee dove down into
the depths of vice and degradation for
evidence to prove that it was not a
proper place for man or beast to visit. 1t
was here that the committee bought
beer and hired the inmates to do all
sorts of indecent things, not only upon
one occasion, but upon two occasions.
The members of the committee went into
court and swore that the inmates of the
house broke nearly every known law for
them, including selling beer. In their
evidence they gave graphic descriptions
of scenes that were degrading alike to
actor and audience. They were too vile
to be written up" for the newspapers,
and yet the police court tells the keeper
of the resort to go in peace.
1t will not do to say the court was in
error for it was not 1t was It's business
to hear and determine and it did. The
question of veracity as between the MEM
bers of the committee and the keeper
of the house and her friends cannot be
raised. The committee drank beer and
did whatever else was deemed ex-
pedient to secure evidence enough to
convict, but after personally partici-
pating in acts not fit for mention in the
newspapers, they go into court without
the very thing that they most needed.
namely, conclusive evidence. But the
disgrace of it all hangs about the neck
of Los Angeles.
