TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.

All hail to Thee, Force OF the forces!
The p lSe OF atomic vibration,
The germ of conception and being,
The impulse of matter and m nd.
Thine, Thine are the infinite sources,
y function OF endless duration
The rhythm OF sound and of seeing,
The soul OF the soul OF mankind.
The myths OF the centuries hoary,
a told by the seeIs and the sages,
Awaken smile of derision
AT the faiths and the fables of yore.
We question the stars, and their story,
Proclaimed by the audible ages.
Reveals to our wondering vision
The past and its mystical lore.
Thou, thou art the motive and motion,
The Life and the Life Everlasting
Which thrills and pervades and possesses
Each atom in limtless space.
We pay Thee silent devotion:
Not sacrifice, penance and fasting
Can Solace soul that confesses
\ God of infinite grace.
Uncompassed of time and location,
Fulfilled of desire and possession,
We Pipen 10 final fruition.
Disniantled of flesh and its thrall.
No longer the stress OF probation,
No longer the panS of transgresSion,
For death is not death, but transition,
And thou art the All and In All.

enemies at present as it cares to encounter
ard we need not expect it to make such a
shameless opposition to the progress of the

it be undertaken. The Valley road offers
the first and only hope for that section of

THE MASS-MEETING.

The mass-meeting to be held at Metro
politan Temple this evening on behalf OF
the Armenians comes at an opportune
time. The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations had the subject under consid-
Grafton on Saturday and will probably
make a report on it during the present
week. 1t is said the committee has re-
ceNed memorials and petitions from al
sections of the Union urging action in the
interests of humanity, and it will be well
for the voice of California to be heard with
those of her sister States when the subject
comes up for debate and the Senate seeks
to learn the sentiment of the whole peo-
pie.
The recent exhibition of antagonism be-
tween the interests OF England and Ger
many in South Africa, which for time
threatened TO prevent any possible CO.
operation of European powers in staying
the hand of the Turk and putting an end
to the atrocities which for months past
have been committed against the Ar
menians, has by a sudden turn been
changed from a seeming evil into what
promises to be n permanent good. Great
Britain has shown desire to reach, if not
an alliance, at least an agreement with
Russia which will prevent that country
from uniting with Germany in case hostiI-
tiles should occur. Any such agreement
must of course take Turkish affairs into
consideration, and it is opportune there
fore at this time for the voice OF the civil
lied world to urge the British Government
TO profit by the occasion to secure for the
Armenians those rights and liberties
which are inherent in humanity.
The arrangements that have been made
for the mass-meeting give assurance that
the speakers will represent the whole peo-
pie, without respect to race or creed. In
advocating the cause of humanity it is the
voice of humanity that will speak The
orators selected to address the meeting
are able and eloquent men. They are
earnest in the work they have undertaken
and will worthily speak the sentiments
that all good men feel on this issue. The
audience should be as truly representative
of our people as are the orators. 1t should
be an assembly of those whose influence
wakes up the higher life of the people and
infuses public opinion with true gran
deur of sentiment.
There can be no question of the useful
ness OF such meeting or of the urgency
OF prompt expression of our sympathies
with those whose friends and kindred have
fallen before such a merciless slaughtering
as that of which all stories from Armenia
have told. No community OF generous
men and women can afford to be silent
when such outrages affront humanity in
any portion of the civilized world.

A REMEDY REMAINS.

The unexplained Supreme Court de-
clslon denying the writ of mandate sued
for by the Valley road against the Trustees
OF the city of Fresno by no means stops
the progress of this great undertaking.
The directors of the road wanted the Trus-
tees of Fresno to give a right of way
through the city. The Trustees, uncertain
as to whether the law required them to put
up the desired fran chise at auction, went
with the directors on an agreed case be-
fore the Supreme Court, and that body has
merely denied the writ asked for compel
ling the Trustees to grant the privilege
without offering it at auction. No reason
is given for the decision and no plan of re-
lief is suggested.
1t will now remain with the Trustees.
not only of Fresno, but of all the other
towns through which the Nslley road pro-
poses to pass, to act intelligently in the in
terest of the public and wholly within the
law 1t has been assumed that the bitter
animosity of the Southern Pacific for the
new road will take the form of opposing
bids for any privilege that may be desired
by the Valley road, and that in this way
the road may be kept out of the valley.
In case such opposing bids are offered it
will be within the province OF the authori-
ties to determine whether they are offered
in good faith, impose restrictions which
would make proceedings in bad faith dan
gerous, and ascertain whether questions of
public right and convenience are involved.
1t would be manifestly absurd and unjust
to recognize a bid for franchise which
cannot be desired as part of a plan to run
railroad through town.

The official arrangement of the stars and of
the stripes of Old Glory is an important mat
ter, which is in charge of a special board of
army and navy officers. While it has not yet
been officially decided, it is more than prob

FIGHTING THE PooLRooMs.

The directors OF the Ingleside racetrack
deserve credit for efforts to aid IN the
movement for suppressing the downtown
poo!rooms. This is all the more commend
able when it is reflected that those instltu-
tons are not i'll conflict with the legitI-
mate bookmaking at the track except, per-
haps, to the extent of giving the Solid
Eight of the Board of Supervisors an ex-
cuse to levy reprisal by moving to sup
press betting at the track if the crusade to
legislate against their downtown proteges
is persisted in.
Mr.. Corrigan. one of the Ingleside direc-
tors, hit upon the plan of leasing the only
wire running into town that the pool
rooms could use. This virtually put q
stop to the swindling concerns in the City,
but they Immediately sought to recover
lost ground by erecting telegraph line OF
their own without permission. They have
been temporarily baked in that effort, and
1t will be interesting to observe what next
will happen.
The planting of poles and the stringing
of wire was as high-handed proceeding
as las ever been witnessed in this City.
No permission was sought and none was
granted. The poolroom men who resorted
to this desperate measure would probably
have had little difficulty in securing per-
mission from the Solid Eight, and likely
they felt secure against punishment for SO
open violation of the law. We should
like very much to know why the City au-
thorities did not require the wire and poles
to be taken down.
A natural result of the presence of these
shameful resorts is seen in the case of the
lad for whom a warrant has been issued
for grand larceny. He was in good posi-
ton, but the poolrooms ruined him. That
there are hundreds of cases which never
come to light NAV be taken for granted.
Parents are not likely to prosecute their
young sons for home thefts with which to
support the poolrooms

THE PUEBLO RULING.

Although the ruling OF the Interstate
commerce Commission on the Pueblo case
was confined to rates between Pueblo and
San Francisco on steel rails and iron, the
principle involved in the decision is that a
lower rate may not be charged from Chi
cago to San Francisco than from Pueblo
to the same point. Obviously the ruling
is not intended to apply to the Atlantic
seaboard, for the reason that there ocean
competition modifies the situation There
is no reason, however, why the commits
sion should mob extend its ruling to all
other articles OF freight between Chicago
and San Francisco that might also be sent
to this City from all points west of Chi
cago. Hence the ruling is sufficiently
revolutionary to alarm the Southern Pa
citic Company and decide it to fight.
1t was shown at the hearing of the
Pueblo case and mentioned in the ruling
that it is sometimes to the interest of
TRANSFORMATION company to haul by q longer
route than 1t might and at a rate lower
than that charged over an available shorter
route, in order to secure q larger revenue
in the end, and it was incidentally noted
that the Southern Pacific, acting in such
fashion, diverts traffic from the Union and
Central Pacific route to the Sunset route
by way of New Orleans. This is taking
cognizance of practice that has a very
important bearing both on the funding
measure now pending IN Congress and the
case of the Southern Pacific Company
against the Railroad Commission of Cali
fornia.
This has been notorious practice ever
since the Sunset route was opened for
traffic, but it Is advancinga step to have the
fact officially noted. 1t makes the conten-
ton OF the railroad before Judge McKenna
as ridiculous as it is daring. That conten-
ton is that the reduction in wheat charges
which the State Railroad Commission is
trying to enforce would cripple the money
earning capacity of the Central Pacific
and lessen its ability to discharge its obi
cations TO the Government. While the
proposed reduction by the Railroad Com
mission would affect the Central Pacific
hardly any, the Southern Pacific, by di-
verting traffic from the Central Pacific TO
the Sunset route, reduces the earning ca
pacitY of its aided line enormously. Yet
an intelligent public is expected gravely
to listen to such an objection and uncom-
plainingly observe the local attorney of
the Government backing the railroad in it's
absurd position.
The Pueblo ruling comes at very op-
perfume time. If the Southern Pacific re-
sists the order it will be put on trial, and
then some interesting things may be
learned as to how the Central Pacific has
been robbed by its owners, in order that
they might evade payment of the Govern
ment's lien on the road. 1t is hoped that
the case Will be pushed with all possible
speed

The Marin Journal, published at San
Rafael, commends the value and excel
lence OF the wagon road which San Quen-
TIN convlcts are constructing from San
Rafael to Tiburon. Our contemporary
says: "a Journal reporter last week
visited the scene of operations near Green
brae. Work at present is confined to cut
ting through two hills, the largest requir-
ing cut of 500 feet long by about thirty
deep, through solid rock. When it is re-
membered that the road is to be forty feet
wide, 1t will be seen what an immense
amount of work is involved in the two
cuts. The rock and dirt removed from the
hills will be used in filling in marsh, one
and half miles wide, few rods south
west of the station. The benefits of good
road from San Rafael to Tiburon are in
calculable. Passing through romantic
scenery, where there are many fine build
ing sites, it will enhance land values and
enable our merchants to ship their goods
direct from Tiburon, thus adding to the
Importance OF the county seat. The only
expense of the road to Marin will be the
cost of MIR. Colwelrs supervision, the blast
ing powder and little drill STEEL"
