orr NExr CONGRESSMAN.

This Congressional District has a
public interest now in Walter P.
Brownlow. He has been nominated by
the Republicans for Congress. and they
should see to il that he is elected. He
has much to recommend him. That
maj is always the best politician, and
will have the best political career,
whose every day life occupations are
in contact and sympathy with those
of his fellow men.
Mr.. Brownlow is a young man, in
the vigor of manhood. full of force and
ability. His life has touched the com.
non life of the people at many points.
In fact, he is one of them. His ability
to do much for the District, and a
knowledge of how to do it, we venture
to state, no voter will doubt. A pains.
taking, vigorous, working member of
Congress is not only the strong hand of
the District, but the strength of the
country at large.
This is the key note we started out to
sound. A Congressman represents
more than his District, he is the repre-.
sentative of the United States. This
year of all years, .national, vital in
terests are in the front. The issues
concern the humblest voter and the
United States as we'll. Reputation
and anarchy have thrown themselves
into the arena, in so positive and bare.
faced a manner, that their success
would be both individual and national
undoing. The coming elections will
give the result. These forces of dis.
organization insist upon battle. We
have chosen our line and our cham.
pion-the same standard of values
upon which, in reality for a century
we have stood, which time and expert
ence have demonstrated are the proper
ones, because followed by success and
prosperity, are ours. We have placed
our champion squarely upon this line
and are ready for the conflict.
The next Congress will be no place
for the legislative idler, the shirk, but
for the hard worker, the f~abricator,
the constructor of policie-spolicies
which will carry the country u long
way forward or a long way backward.
The Congressional career was once a
gay ship waited by the gales of oratory,
now the economic thinker, the COM
mon sense philosopher, the man of the
people, the t~ireless worker in the com.
mittee room and on the floor of Con.
gress, is the much called for indi.
vidual. Mr.. Brownlow is exceptionally
fortunate in the issues, in opportunity,
with the ability to serve the District
and the country up to the standard of
the best. With the supreme questions
awaiting settlement, we believe his
career will be that of the representa-.
tive who serves his party well, by
serving his country best.
Nor should we who do the voting
forget. that we have o duty likewise to
perform-to organize, to discuss, to
make known the issues of the canvass.
This Republican Government can not
be sustained without tireless, volun.
tary activity and intelligence on the
part of its private citizens.

The first American missionary to set
foot in Monterey was Rev. S. II. Wiley,
who, for the past seven years, has been
president of the Van Ness Seminary in
this City. The first steamship that ever
came up the coast, the California, landed
him in what was then the capital of the
Territory on February 3d. 1849. The first
Protestant services in Monterey were held
in a parlor of the house occupied by Gov
ernor Bennett Riley, and subsequently
services were held in the Governors busi-
ness office.

represents. The fact is that Monday

err part of Sunday, certainly during
church hours. A Sunday morning

mean work till such an hour after mid

might fix. 1t is not a question of

people know it and choose to work
Sunday instead of Saturday. Their
only apology for this is that it is all
right for them to do SO, but would be
iniquitous in anyone else. AS for the
Sunday Star. its issuance involved the
crowding of the work of two days in
to one. Much of the Saturday burden
was lifted, however, by extra effort
during the week. This establishment
had arranged so that the delivery on
Sunday was the only work of that day
in connection with the edition. The
Advertisers Monday paper is the re-
suit of Sabbath labor. 1t confesses il
and tries to justify it. Whether the
toplofty explanation will be accepted
or not, The Star is unable to tell. The
facts are plain enough and the com.
munity can judge for itself.
Perhaps the Seventh Day Adventist
plan will solve the puzzle. Those who
have read that remarkable history OF
Pitcairn Island, will remember that
after debating the matter ten years
the entire population of the Arcadia
went over in one day to the Seventh

ton of something of the sort is to be
witnessed here.
