REV. L. MALVERN,

VI tulS Guy, was introduced as a rSpr6Sen-
tative of peace. Peace had her victories
as well as war. The development of the
educational institutions of the land was
one of the great steps in the march of our
present progress. In their way the fleet
also was a great educator, as it pleased
the people and popularized the navy,
making them ready to vote for its sup
port. The squadron was painted white,
which was the color of our noblest insti-
tutions, the church and the school houses.
(Applause.)
Mr.. Virgin then proposed the senti-
ment which includes all the rest-Our
Country-and introduced him who was
born among us, who was educated among
US, whom you honored years ago and
who now honors you, who rules that
most unruly body, the. House of Repre-
sentatives, your honored citizen,
HON. THOMAS BRAKCETT REED.
Mr.. Reed was received with loud ap-
plause and cheers, the guests rising to
greet him. He said that there was no
place on earth where such a reception
could be so grateful to him as here. He
could not respond exactly to the toast, or
make the speech he had intended to
make. We're it not for a life long friend
ship, handed down from father to son he
should suspect the toastmaster of designs
against him in calling on him at that
hour. He had prepared speech about
the glories of Maine, which would have
pleased them all Qaughter); and he had
then intended to speak of the naval Off
GERS and their glorious uniforms (laugh
ter); and incidentally of the figure which
he himself cut while in the service, in
blue coat and white trousers, and a vest
when the climate permitted one. (Laugh-
ter.)
He said that he had been during the
day to see all the ships, and had visited
tie monitor Puritan and the battfeship
Iowa What impressed him most was
the difference between the navies of to-
day and those of not longer ago than his
own recollection. He remembered when
the Prince of Wales embarked from this
port to return to his own kingdom-the
Mayor thought he could remember it but
he couldn't (laughter)-; he could recol-
lect the great 90-gun ship the Hero and
her magnificent appearance; and the
roarings Of her guns as she fred the great
salutes. It was splendid exhibition of
the possibilities of power. And yet Ad-
miral (turning to Admiral Sicard) what
chance would the Hero have in a conflict
with one of your ships. She would last

decisions were invariably based on
sound law and showed deep study and
close observation in their construction.
This was notably true in the case of
Emeric against Alvarado, involving the
ownership of $4,000 acres of land and
including some 200 litigants His de-
cisions upon many points of law in
this case were warmly complimented
by the Supreme Court and upheld to
the last degree by that tribunal
In 1892, Judge Mcguire was elected
to Congress, and his reelection follow
ed in 1894 and 1895. He is one of the
leading members of the California del
egation, and his intimate knowledge
of the needs of this State renders his
services especially valuable. He is a
member of the committees on Pacific
railroads and elections, and has taken
a leading part in the discussions on
the tariff, exclusion act and other
questions of public interest. AS an au-
thority on the single tax theory Judge
Mcguire stands very high, his argu-
ments being singularly clear, incisive
and firm. At the present time he is
prominently mentioned as a candidate
for Governor of California, and his
friends are sanguine that their efforts
to place him in the chair of the chief
executive will meet with success next
year.

Messrs. Scott & McCord.

The firm of Scott & McCord, hay and
grain merchants, occupies an envia-
bic position as one of the oldest and
most substantial houses in San Fran
cisco, having commenced business here
over thirty-five years ago.
Its business plant is probably the
largest and most completely equipped
for the handling of hay and grain on
the Pacific Coast, comprising offices
and sales warehouses located at 615
Sixth street, large storage warehouses
at 449-451 Berry street, with railroad to
the door, and 449-451 Channel street.
with private wharf facilities. The
firm also operates branch warehouses
at the Ingleside and the Oakland race
tracks, and controls vast storage faciI-
tiles in the country.
Besides handling an enormous stock
in both the city and country, the firm
does a large commission business with
the farmers throughout the State and
coast. 1t controls and owns vessels
plying between San Francisco and
neighboring counties, and it's local
trade reaches into every branch where
its goods can be consumed.
A feature of it's business is the trade
in racing circles, this firm alone sup
plying nearly all the prominent racing
owners visiting or living in this vi
cinity. Scott & McCord was the pio
neer house to introduce California hav
throughout the East, and still exclu
sively holds the lucrative trade in those
markets.
A speciality also of the business is its
export shipment, and an extensive
trade is carried on with the Hawaiian
Islands, Central and South America
and Asia.
For many years it has been univer-
sally acknowledged that both in the
volume and the nature of its business.
the firm of Scott & McCord holds the
distinction of ranking at the head of
all firms in the hay and grain business
on this coast.

AN HONORED CAREER
otate senator Who May Be the
Next Congressman From
the Fifth.

One OF the most popular among the
younger Republicans of the State is
state Senator Ed l. Wolfe of the
IWenty-first Senatorial District. Ed
Gle Wolfe, as his friends like to call
MIN, came to California from England
when a child and graduated from the
High School of this city. For several
years he was in the employ of p. B.
Cornwall, president of the Black Dia-
mond Coal Mining Company. From
the time of his majority he has taken
an active part in politics as a stanch
republican, serving as secretary of the
county Committee and member of the
State Central Committee. In 1887 he
was appointed clerk of the Probate
Court, and in 1891 elected secretary of
the Board of New City Hall Commits
sionerS. For number of years he has
been on the stump during campaign
times for his party. In 1896 he was
elected to the State Senate by a major
ity of nearly 1900 in Democratic dis
trict. Since his association with Never
Jacobs he has been engaged in the
practice of law.
He has been honored by high posi-
ton in various fraternal organizations.
He has been respectively grand presi-
dent of District Grand Lodge No. 4,
1. 0. B. B., twice supreme representa-
tive for the Foresters of America and
for the order of Chosen Friends, and a
member of the committee on laws of
the grand lodge of the Knights of Py-
thias. He is a member of the National
Union and a prominent member of the
Union League Club. AT the time of the
threatened emigration of prosecuted
Jews from Russia he was elected hon
orable secretary of the Jewish Alliance
of California.
He is a prominent candidate for the
nomination for Congress in the Fifth
District at the coming election.
