PoMONA sCH0oL WAR.
Professor MolyneGtr's RestgnatiOn De-
nanded by the Trustees.

ProTessor MoIyneamn's Resignation De-
n0nded By the Trustees.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 19.-Profes-
sor Molyneaux, principal of the public
schools at Pomona and one of the "solid
four" trustees of the State Normal School
in this city, is having peck of trouble at
the home end of his double official labors.
At a meeting of the Pomona Board of
Education yesterday a resolution was pre-
sented by f. K. Adams and unanimously
passed requesting Superintendent Molly
neaux to resign. This brought about an
angry discussion, Professor Molyneaux
contending that the board had neither the
moral nor the legal right to make this de-
mand, upon the heels of his vindication of
the charges recently preferred against him.
The board took the ground that, in view of
his virtual promise to resign whenever
three members of the board should request
it, the time had arrived when it would be
best for the interests of the schools in
Pomona that he step out.
Finally another resolution was passed
demahding his resignation, declaring that
the board considered the office now vacant,
and requiring that on or before Monday
next Professor Molyneaux inform the
board what he intended to do in the
matter. Professor MoIyneaux said that he
would hold the members of the board
personally responsible for his salary.

RAILROAD CONFERENCE.
Several Big Officials Have Arrived to
Discuss the Oriental Passenger
Question.

A consultation of railroad magnates is
to be held here during a large part of this
week, presumably to discuss the Oriental
passenger traffic to this port and to devise
means for successfully competing with the
Canadian Pacific and with the several
prospective japanese steamship lines that
will have termini north and south of San
Francisco and will help to divert the pas
senger traffic both from this port and from
the Eastern railroad lines now catering to
the travel through this City.
Last night w. B. Kniskeon, general
agent of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad, arrived at the Palace from Chi
cago and the membership of the confer
ence was then complete. in the forenoon
Thomas ID. Mckay, general passenger
agent at Yokohama, of the Occidental and
Oriental Steamship Company, of the Pa
cihc Mail Steam, hip Company, of the
Union Pacific, and of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway, arrived on the
China from japan. Friday night E. L.
Lomax, general agent of the Union Pacific
Railroad, arrived from Omaha.
They are all here for this meeting, in
which representatives of the Southern
Pacific will also have voice.
When seen at the Palace last night Mr..
Kniskeon was not very communicative
upon the exact nature of the conference.
''Just little daTk-lantern talk we've
arranged, that's all" he said. "Tom Nc
Kay has been out there eighteen months,
and we wanted to talx over the commerce
to this port. We feel no alarm on account
of the prospective japanese line to Seattle.
There Is bound to be a general increase in
travel from the Orient, and Well never
notice the com petition"
Mr.. Mckay with mis- inimitable cordial
ity was also uncommunica,ive upon the
business that will be transacted, but he
declared very emphatically that the meet
ing was not occasioned by any dissatisfac-
tion with the manner in which he has
handled his end of the line.

declared: "The working classes OF the

committee that party paper In Engilsh

Nominations were then in order. The

vet legal political party. but before the

lures of voters all over California and pre-
sent to the State officials a petition of at

THE GOLDEN WEST CLUB
Young Republicans Whose First
Vote Will Go for Nc
KiDley.
An Organization Rapidly Increasing
in Strength and Influence in
Local Politics.

The fact that the young men of San
Francisco have taken a deep interest in
the political issues of the day is encour-
aging, for it shows there is no apathy in
the ranks of the people regarding the
fundamental principles of self-govern-
ment. OF such material are the members
of the Golden West Republican Club COM
posed.
This club was first organized in March,
1892 of young men who at that time were
about to cast their first votes. In 1894 the
club assumed manhood proportions, and
by adding still more members, all young
men, it made its power felt at the last elec-
tion. Now once more. with its originators
and with acquired knowledge in the sci
ence of government and still adding to its
roll, it has become one of the leading
young mems Republican clubs of the City.
The officers and members of this club
are m schanics and workmen in shops. and
manufacturing Institutions, where labor
is respected and idieness despised. In
poiltios they are Republican. not because
their fathers before them bad affiliated
with that party, but from their own ex-
perience, learned by careful study OF the
principles OF that party.
The following are the officers elected on
the evening OF last Friday at Federation
Hall, Howard street: President, William
B. Crane; vice-president, John Crowley !;
recording secretary, James Carroll; treas
ureT, Louis Sericano; corresponding sec
retary, Frank Wall; executive committee
William P. Connors, j. J. Daughney, T.
McDermott; sergeant-at-arms, Ed Bir-
mingham.
After the election of officers speeches
were made by several of the members.
The club unanimously indorsed the Re-
publican platform as formulated at the St.
Louis convention and Hon. William Nc
Kinley, the nominee. Three rousing
cheers were also given for John D..
Spreckels.

At HiH Church.

The Iliff NJ E. church is no longer ade-
ouate to accommodate the throng that
goes to hear DR.. Holman every Sabbath
morning. His wonderful powers as
pulpit orator have caused marked atten-
tlon throughout the city. His discourse
al the First Congregational church last
summer on the subject of Faith was
regarded by all who listened to IL as
one of the ablest and most forcible SER
mons ever delivered in the city. By
special request, Dr. Holman will repeat,
as far as it is possible for an extempor-
aneous speaker to do so, this sermon
next Sunday morning at the Salt Lake
theatre. Which has been secured for the
services.
The doctors theme yesterday morning
was Conscience, taking his text from
Acts XVI. 8: II verify thought with my
self that | ought to do many things con-
trary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth"
The speaker began by defining con-
science. separating the common under
standing of the word into two divisions,
the positive, memorable principle with
which every being is endowed TO distin-
gulsh between right and wrong, and the
ethical judgment formed through educa-
uon. circumstances and environments.
1t is a common expression TO hear q man
say he Is living as his conscience die
tates. He may do a great many things
that TO you may seem wrong. This rs on
account of the different ethical judgment
between you and him. No man has a

proper to indulge in various amusements
that to others would seem a great SIN
The German, educated to drink his glass
of beer in the fatherland, may take his
usual drink before going to church. His
conscience does not say ii is wrong, and
therefore we should not say that an is
unconScientious. Thus, the first thing we
have to learn is charity toward our fell
low man. Environment has everything
TO do with the forming of ethical judg-
ment.
But here comes a distinction. Let no
man be deceived about living as he
thinks his conscience dictates BY con-
tinual forcing down of the truth, a mans
moral sense becomes callous. Young
man. the speaker continued, 'let me ask
first time you visited g house of shame?
How you skunk down the street, and how
Your heart beat in the consciousness that
you were dong something wrong. Do
you remember 1t? And how you came
away feeling mean. and ashamed. You
went to your room and your mothers
face came before your vision and you

ing you to do right. You go to houses
of shame now, too, but it don't bother
your conscience. Your soul has become
so covered with the slime of your sins
that no longer the voice of God can be
heard. Why is it? Because you have
continually forced the truth down when
it has arisen TO apprise you of right and

full results of refusing to obey the silent

THIS is THE LATEST.
An Entire New scheme Looking to
Aerial Navigation and Flight.

BOSTON. Oct. 1S.-An entirely new
scheme looking to aerial navigation
and flight has been suggested by A
w. Knitsch of this city. 1t is such a
decided departure from all the propo-
sitions heretofore advanced for utiliz-
ing the atmosphere for purposes of
transit, as to command serious atten-
ton from scientists and others 20 whom
it has been presented.
1t is the idea OF MIR. Knitsch that the
subtle magic attraction that holds the
needle of the mariners compass with
answering fidelity to the north can be
utilized in magnified form for mans
convenience, profit and pleasure. -Ac-
cepting the theory advanced that vast
deposit of magnetic ore exists in the
immediate vicinity of the north pole,
and from there come the magnetic cur
rents distributed over the globe, and
that it is the attraction of this thus
far unbounded field that draws with
magic power the needle of the COM
pass, there is nothing. as Mr.. Knitsch
looks at it, to prevent its being made
of real service.
Il believe" said he, that maEnets
could be suspended in the air of suffi-
Gent force to counterfeit the resistance
of the air, overcome the adverse cur
rents and move more or less rapidly
towards the north"
Mr.. Knitsch said that it might not
prove possible, but ii was open 10 ar
gument and experiment. and there is
no telling what might come of it. AS
to the method of return, if the attempt
should ever be made, it win be solved
quickly
