they should be.
The Democrats recognize this fact, and
no doubt will indicate it in the platform
which the Roanoke convention will for
mulate. The Populists, holding their con-
vention nearly two weeks in advance of
their opponents, can take the wind out of
the formers sails in this and other econ
omic matters. This .and the fact that
they desired to put a ticket in the field
was the reason the Peoples party called
their body tovether in advance of their
opponents.
The Populists, it ia believed favor. as a
rule, an original free silver man for the
Democratic gubernatorial '..nomination.
THIS has already been manifested in many
ways The nomination will probably be-
practically decided before the meeting of
the Populist convention. The most of the
delegates to the Democratic body will be
chosen ut the county court days in June
and July. These primaries will very
likely come very near settling the ques-
ton OF who is to head the Democratic

question of whether that honor is to be
conferred upon an original free silver man

He Bade Them a

Right Rev. Bishop Alexander Waters.
who is about 10 remove 10 Jersey City,
preached his farewell sermon at the a. NJ .
E. Zion Church on Stockton street last
night. He took his text from Isaiah xii IS.
''Go through the gates; prepare you the
way for the people, cast up the highway {;
gather up the stones; lift up the stand
ard" He took the command of the
prophet in its literal sense, and said that
when it was delivered it meant the pre-
paration of the way for the children of
Israel, but that now it meant for the pres
ent generation to prepare the way to sal
Valion, and said that those who were TO
open the gates must first know the way
by having gone through themselves. He
said:
K TO one can console the sorrowing until
nj they have sorrowed, aud none ca lead

themselves are righteous. To do good

ers through their own selfishness and not
through tn ir love of good works or love
of God. Citing numerous incidents of
good work done by those who had experi.
ence, he declared that all the efforts of
those who did not feel what thew talked
would be of no avail in behalf of their fell
lows. He called upon all to give them
selves unselfishly to the Lord and bade
the congregation farewell in words full of
pathos and earnestness.

Or Duties After the
Great Convention.

At Calvary Presbyterian Church last
night the Rev. DR.. Hemphill took for his
topic, After the Convention, What2"
He spoke in part as follows:
THE '97 convention is a thing of the past
Yet in a very important sense it is a
Il thing OF the present and OF the future
1t was glorious affair. The splendid
hospitality OF California, the completeness of
the committee work, and the way in which it
was carried out, all spoke for Christianity.
The high standard OF the speeches, the stand
ing by the unmutilated Bible and the cardinal
doctrines OF the church, the deepening of the
feeling for missionary work, the brotherly
feeling that was manifested, were appreciated
by ali who had eyes TO see, ears 10 hear and
hearts TO feel.
Now, what are our duties following the
great convention? Christianity never was SO
great, so respectable, II the eyes OF Callfor-
mans as it is today. Shall we take the splen-
did opportunities now offered US or shall we
lose them? Remember, lost opportunities do
not come again"
Suppose people think that if they do wall
and make no trouble in the church to which
they belong that is all that is to be expected
OF them. GOO has placed US in this world for
two things, to be good and to do good. Broth
ers in the Lord, l ask you to be up and doing.
Make hay while the sun shines. Take the
spiritual tide a the food; work, work, work.
There is not so much time to do good in {;
death is nearer than you imagine. This may
be the last sermon / shall preach to you; this
may be the last sermon that some of you may
hear me preach. All the money in the world
will not save you from death. Over in that

aVailed him not.
Better days are coming for Christ. heard

" Saved by Hope"
Sermon by DR.. Case.

At The Howard d-street Methodist Epis-
copal Church yesterday morning DIR. Case,
the pastor, preached on the text Romans
viii:24, Saved by Hope" He spoke of
the universally OF hope; that as sorrow is
universal, so also is hope. He said:
IF one cover the earth with shade the other
! foods il with light. Hope springs eternal
4 in the human breast 1t enters the darkes t
dungeon, penetrates the gloomiest prison
and wins its way to the most wretch ed bosom
Hope is not priced as it should be, for the rea-
sen that familiarity breeds Indifference. Air
water, food, health, are not priced so long as
they are plentiful. So hope is not valued ex-
cept when we contrast it with despair
The Bible speaks of false hope. The hope OF
the wicked shall perish. Christian hoIe is the
lruit of the Holy Spirit of God. We abound in
hope through the power OF God. Prisoners of
hope are entreated 10 him to their stronghold
which is God. "The name OF the Loid is a.
strong tower The righteous runneth into it
and is safe" Take every hope. Garfield was
shot, and the surgeon said there was one
chance in hundred for his recovery. II will
take tnat chance" said the suffering Presi-
dent; "do your best to save me' He strug-
gled hard for three mon tbs, but succumbed at
last. Let US take our chance, even though it
seem TO be only one in undred, and do our
best TO secure eternal life

The Story Of Eden.
A Divine Allegory

Rev J. S. David of the Sweden borg Mis-
sion Society lectured on "The Garden OF
Eden" at the Hall of the Academy of
Sciences last evening, at the invitation OF
the San Francisco Theosophical Society.
He said in substance:
THE story of Eden is a divine allegory,
every word of which is full of the dee p
esi spiritual wisdom. We utterly fail 10
perceive its heavenly significance II we
regard t as a mere geographical location,
with trees and rivers OF earth. This garden
was a state of the soul, "Goiden Age' OF ce-
lestlal wisdom and innocence which con-
u4ued through many thousands OF years dur
ing the infancy OF the human race. This age
was to the history OF mankind on this planet
wnat infancy is to the lifetime OF an individ-
usl The tree OF lile in the midst OF the gar
den is the Lord who is always in the midst, j"
being the inmost and central fountain OF lie
TO every individual and to the universe. To
eat OF this tree is to live in harmony with God,
which is life eternal
There is another tree-the tree of the kuowl-
edge OF good and evil. Where does it grow?
A physical tree cannot bring forth knowledge,
so it is a tree OF the mind-the lower mind-in
the outskirts OF the garden of Goa. Man
turns away from the tree of life to the tree OF
knowledge OF good and EVIL when he ceases 10
re alize God Ms the one life and seeks knowI-
eige and happiness on the plane OF the senses.
The serpent in the garden is the sensuous ma
ture which looks wholly to earth for It's susie
nance. Ii is orderly ana usefu. When Supor-
dinated and kept i'll its proper place, but 1t
becomes q disorderly thing when 1t Is allowed
TO drag down the higher nature under the
dominion OF the senses The "fall of man"
was a gradual descent of the primeval race
into the realm OF sensuous loves and thoughts
and thence into gross selfsnness and dark
ness. But man is now on the ascent. The
golden age Of the future, growing out OF in
Vulnerable and endlessly varied experiences,
will far transcend the golden age OF the past,
and the tree and river of life, which disap-
peared witt the descent from Eden, will re-
appear in the holy city-the new Jerusalem.

Lost His Position While
Abroad, but Probably
Reappointed.
Talks of the Diamond Jubilee
and Political Affairs in
Hawaii.
Declares There Is No Danger of a
Restoration of the Monarchy
on the Islands.

BOSTON Mass. July 1S.-Hon. Samue
Damon, Minister of Finance of Hawaii.
left Boston to-day for San Francisco, on
his return home from the Queens jubilee,
where he officially represented his coun-
try. He has been a guest of Major Isaac
Damon at Holden, Mass. Just before his
departure he was interviewed by The
CALL correspondent on his European mis-
sion and on the political situation i'll Ha-
waii. Probably, he said, he had been re-
appointed Minister of Finance during his
absence from Honolulu, for the constitu-
tion of the republic provides that Gov
ern ment officer who is out of the country
a greater length of time than sixty days
forfeits his otfi.e. AS he was away on Of
fetal business of the Government, he
thinks it quite likely that President Dole
may have declared his office vacant under
the constitutional limitations and then
may have reappointed him. He will have
reached Honolulu before the expiration OF
the second sixty days and will be all right
again.
Mr.. Damon went over to Washln eton
the other day and saw the Hawaiian Min
lister, Mr.. Hatch, but declined to say what
he learned from him in relation to the an
ne1ation treaty and its prospects of being
ratified by the United States Senate.
Ex-Queen Liliuokalani was in Wash
ington, but Mr.. Damon did not see her.
Whether annexation il accomplished or
not he says there is no danger of a resto-a-
tion OF the monarchy, for the republic is
firmly established. Mr.. Damon has en-
joyed every minute Of his Journey, and
was especially well treated by he Queen
OF England and the royal family during
his stay in London. Mr. Damon says he
was graciously received by Queen Vic
toria, who shook hands and spoke 10 him
for some minutes. Mr.. Damon rode in the
great. diamond jubilee parade. and was
one of the distinguished guests at the
naval display off Spithead. Mr.. Damon
sailed from Liverpool to New York, STAYED
a day at the Fifth-avenue Hotel and then
ran over to Washington to see the Minis
ter of his Government. He started to-day
for San Francisco and will take the first
steamer from there for Honolulu. He
was accom- panied abroad by Major Iauka,
a half-caste native of the islands, as mill
tary attache, and will meet him between
Boston and San Francisco. They will re-
turn to Honolulu together
