ON FINANCE.
Mr.. Shepard Advocates the Creation of
New Party.

Mr.. Shepard Advocates the Creation of
New Party.
w. G. Shepard spoke at PythIan Castle
yesterday upon the necessity for a new
political party with a financial plank in it.
The following is an extract:
In the pioneer days of California mercban-
disc was transported overland by means of
mules and oxen and pack animals As the
population increased the amount of goods re-
qulred increased. and as the amount of goods
to be trans ported increased, the number of
horses, mules and oxen had to be increased
And with the present population of Califor-
MIA 1T would be most inconYenienL if NOT
utterly impossible, TO transport needed sun
plies 10 the people of this coast by the old
system OF ansportation-horses, mules and
oxen.
But since these pioneer days our system of
trans rtation has been changed. We have
substituted railroads, locomotives and cars
for the horses, mules, oxen aud wagons for.
merly used And although the business has
increased a hundred iold, it can be and is a.
complished with the greatest facility. If we
were obliged 10 depend upon the old system
1t would be found 10 be entirely INADEQUATE
as the horses, mules and oxen would often he
found not TO be in the places where they were
needed, nor at the time they were needed nor
in the number that were needed. But no ir-
convenience OF this kind could equal that ex-
perienee by the producers in consequence of
the defect of our monetary system.
Just monetary laws are of more importance
10 the producing classes than all the machines
that have been invented in the last fifty years
Yet there has been no new inventions in
financial affairs by which our exchanges NAV
he more equitaby and more easily made
True we have increased the amount OF gold
and silver coins and the number of banks
banknotes and money-brokers, but this is no
more an improvement in the medium of dis
tribution than the increase ia the number of
pack horses on the old muddy roads would be
an improvement in conveying product while
i; would still take the same muscular power TO
convey given weight.

Universally in Nature,
By Rev. J. S. David.

A Washington Hall, in Red Mems
~ building, the Rev. J. S. David said
in his sermon yesterday morning:
There are 10 limited influences. The
wave-circle which moves outward from
the point of falling stones contact with
wafer will continue TO move onward and
to undulate until it reaches the water s
limit, even if that limit be many miles
away, Waves of sound will reach around
the globe. Rays of light in ethereal waves
are continually falling upon every eye
and fructifying every plant; and that, TOO.
after journeying not only from our sun,
but from stars so remote that the swiftest
flight of a cannon ball could not span the
distance in a hundred million years
Gravitstion is another mysterious factor
of nature that spans all distances and
associates all bodies. Thus, through vi
bration and radiation, every point in space
communicates with every other point
If vibration and radiation are operativ We
universally on physical plans, they mu ST
also be operative universally on the Sp lr-
ltual plane; for icy are laws that inh ere
in nature, and cannot be present in one
plane and absent IN another. Therefore
every thought and every affection sends
forth its vlbratory influence, and affects
In some degree every other affection and
thought in the universe. mo man liveth
unto himself" Every man is inwardly
connected with all Others, and uncon-
sciously working Tor their happiness or
misery. Every man is in some degree
center of mental force and mental radia-
ton. If MS thoughts are pure and noble
they quietly inspire others 10 pure life and
noble deeds; if impure and selfish they
chill the moral atmosphere of the sur
rounding world, and tend 10 drag others
downward. We little know the hidden
influence Of our inner lives, and hence we
too little realize the great importance of
b ling inwardly pure.

nEV. HoRArIo sTEBRINs nrenohed


N an eloquent and appropriate sermon
yesterday to large congregation at
the First Unitarian Church. He referred
TO the universal celebration being held in
honor of the Queen of England, and in
terpreted the great qualities of the Eng
lish and Americans by reference to their
race.
Race" declared the speaker, 'is the
mysterious and far-reaching property Of
blood whereby the most distant ancestor
influences his remotest descendant, and
still more that accumulated effect OF a
line of ancestors. The more advanced the
race the more complex and mingled are
the elements of its blood, and the more
difficult it becomes to analyze it. The
Anglo-Saxon race is the most mixed Of
any race on the earth.
~ am not concerned here with what is
called the material industrial, social or
commercial progress of England or
America. [ am not concerned with rude
kings-balf barbaric, yet very good as
kings went. l am not concerned with the
improvements which have been made
since the cock fighting, bull and bear
batting times when Eliza beth on great
occasions rode on horseback on a piIlion
DGulDQ lue 1OIu CuduCeIIOT. L AIN not
concerned with that grand procession
of all nations attendant on the Queen
Of England to-day. As historic incident,
as an expression OF earthly dignity and
worldly glory, l recognize its greatness
and pay respectful obelsance. But what
interests me most is the tide of blood
which flows in the veins of a race. Tn at
tide is flowing through all the earth, i'm
pressing mankind with sentiments in re-
gard to government ana politics, the ele-
yation Of Individual man, his moral and
social character.
at is the theme and historic idea oi the
Anglo-Saxon race to extend the power
ana blessing of constitutional government
over the earth. Whatever seltishness,
jealousy ana rivalry exist between ma
tions, England and America are one in
the great purpose for which nations are
made. to establish justice and law and
freedom on the earth.
There is no interest so important to
humanity to-day as the relation between
Englisnmen and American. No people
or nations can have such influence on the
opinions of the civilized world as this race
that seems providentially to control the
earthly destiny of humanity. This race
united and a peace with itself, cultlvaung g
the ar's of the modern age, cherishing the
freedom, justice and righteousness spirit of
has coE mtteI to 1t the diffusion Of good
government throughout the world, the
united commo wealth OF nations. And
that man who kindles strife and hate and
war between the members and families of
this race is the common enemy of human
kind"

Hapless Plight of a Mother
Accused by an Only
Son.
Mrs. Elizabeth Defrin in the
Hospital Awaiting Her
Examination.
She Declares She Is Perfectly Sane,
and the Surgeons and Others
Agr,e With Her.

Mrs. Elizabeth Defrin, woman about
40 years of age, is an inmate of the Re-
ceiving Hospital, awaiting her examina-
tion to-day before the Insanity Commis-
sioners.
She was taken to the hospital Saturday
by her son Willie, 20 years of age, who is
employed at the Union Iron Works, and
the landlord of the house she formerly oc-
cupied at Eighteenth and Sanchez streets.
Mrs. Deirin. according to the surgeons
at the hospital, Matron Keane and others
who have talked with her, is perfectly
sane and shows not the slightest sign of a
want in her mental balance. She talks
quietly and intelligently and is at total
loss to account for the peculiar conduct of
her only son in having her charged with
insanity.

the money out and squandered it.

life lasts. Peace has her heoroes as well
war. The need OF the age Is heroes of
peace. We reed armies of righteousness
al shall overcome growing civic distrust
and convince our people that God still
reIgns and his chariots await his CON-
mands in the mountains round about US.
Our country demands heroism of politi-
cal thought. Our best citizens are too
prone to do their thinking during the few
weeks which preceIe election. This is
gross infidellty to civic duty. Too often
no thought is given to important public
questions and corruption is thus unre-
strained.
Highest civic intelligence is fmbecile
without impregnable purity of character.
Temptations of opportunity in public
office demand unconquerable integrity.
Too often candidate who has every ones
confidence Is elected only TO yield his
honor and betray his trust. We need a
great leader-a great prophet.

absence OF two years from the courts He
put in several days of practice last week
at the California courts, in company with
the Whitney brothers, and well held his

Another old-time crack in constant
training is James a. Code.
Among the visiting players will be Wal

NUR Nation does not lack brave men,
