The sermon was on 1.-The Lord is
Risen.' Mr. Worcester said Jehovah of
the Old Testament and Jesus Christ of
the New Testament is one and the same
divine being. Man was created to love
and to be loved. From the beginning
God has revealed Himself to his children.
How could His children love Him if they
knew Him not Revelation vouchsafed
to man is that He would follow them
through ali their wanderings and would
come to earth to them. To become God
with lis he descended into the world with

SOME ALASKAN PROBLEMS.

HERE are two features of the Alaskan situation
 which require the immediate attention of the
 authorities at Washington The first of these IS the settlement of the dispute over the boundary line between Alaska and the Canadian territory, and the second is the establishment of postal route to the Klondke country.
 The Canadian officials have not waited for the boundary line to be settled before fixing their GUS toms depots on the outermost line Of their claims. Reports from Juneau some time ago that Cana dian customs officers had established themselves on the summit of the passes over the mountains behind Dyea and these reports have now been amply con hrmed. Canada has taken advanced position, and will hold it until the final settlement of the boundary dispute.
 Governor Brady of Alaska and Collector Ivey re- gently went over the trail from Dyea for the of making an official investigation of the position taken by the Canadians and found them located as had been reported Ivey's instructions from Wash ington were to post two sub-colectors of the United States service Lake Bennett, but Captain Belcher, who in charge of the Canadian mounted police on the summit, informed them that they could not do so. He had assumed his station on the noun tans by instructions from his superors, and therefore could not consent to the establishment of Amer- can customs depot within the lines claimed by his Government.
 The point of controversy is of growing import by of the rapidly increasing trade and business of the Klondke country. It announced a short time ago that arrangements for fixing the boundary had been agreed upon by the two nations, but this afterward denied In view of the action of the Canadian Government it is clear that further delay in determining the boundary is likely to lead to a conflict that may make a burning issue out of something which could now be settled with ease. This, therefore, is the time to deal with the matter and put an end to the dispute.
 The establishment of an adequate postal service is hardly less imperative than the settlement of the boundary According to the latest reports mail has been received at Dawson since last September. Complaints have been made that even at Dyea the postofice officials have exacted fee for delivering mails and that the service has been used a of extorting money from the public.
 This condition of affairs is something of Gov ernmental disgrace The trade of Alaska and the Kondike country demands mail facilities and it will be gross neglect the part of the postal authorities if such facilities not made equal to the needs of the people at

PUT DOWN BY PLAIN FACTS.

l may be noted by glance at the telegraphic \ columns this morning San Jose paper in fit of malign hysteria has been accusing The Call of an attempt injure the material interests of Santa Clara Valley. While under ordinary circum- stances charge foolish would be worth notc- ing, coming as 1t does from a paper about which there yet fingers vanishing of decency and which still remembers the day when it had measure of responsibility and influence, might tend to give a false impression.
 The Mercury is the guilty sheet. It is run by discredtabe political boss named Rea The Call has been active in laying bare the corruption of which Req is the and the center, and is pleased to have stirred up much indignation among his follow It has even caused impulse of anger ruffe the brow of Rea and, the truth the only weap- used against him, naturally he turned to alsehood his available instrument. While never very effec- tive, it was the one with which he was familiar
 The paper which IS the medium between Req and limited portion of the public also has grievances It has noted with pain that The Call has become force in its territory It has observed the pretenses of the Req gang held up to the light. and its own power waning the character of the forces be- hind it came to be understood Hence the wild and silly attack upon The Call an attack founded osten- sibly upon dispatch sent out by the Associated Press of which the agent in San Jose is city editor of the Mercury, but really founded on a maevoent hatred born ot 1nlquity exposed.

PROTECT THE UNWARY.

NBSERVING persons cannot have failed to \ , notice that there is tinge o med1evallsm ln
 the religious zealotry with which the police ot many American cities IS occasionally com pelled to deal That this zeal is largely commercial no longer admits of doubt The ot the Saliva ton Army, with its uniforms and military organza- ton, its tambourine bands and marching women, has revived among a certain mpressonabe class ot Americans some of the spirit which animated the Crusaders and which, even in the enlightened days, may yet send armed men out to fight less formid- able individual than the Turk
 The basis of the Salvation Army IS sound finance. Its officers mostly paid and its credit wellrecog nzed throughout the United States and Great Brit ain The contest for control which lately took place at New York between members of the Booth family resembled dispute among Roman Bishops Tn the early days of Christianity The American wing of the army rebelled against the fiscal management of the British wing. The foreign Booths wanted to handle all the money This deemed to be un- American, and, III order to the organization on this side of the water, the elder Booth obliged to concede the establishment here of Salvation Army military chest.
 It is not at all surprising that the of the Salvatoniss should have given life to other religious armies" But it is somewhat striking circum- stance that many of the imitators of the Salvation Army possess fraudulent character. In thIs city 1t is of record that crime has actually been committed in the name of organization called the Army of Jesus Christ" That the men who were unearthed by the police in this were animated by religious fer is impossible. They were like the Roman wolves who adopted the hooded cloak and learned the of the Christians only to betray them to the bloody Cesars.
 There may be and probably sincere people in all the semi-miltary societies being organized throughout the country in imitation of the Salvation Army. But that many of them, like the Army of Jesus Christ" being launched for purposes of plunder is extremely probable One of these societies is called the Army of Heaven at Hand" Its leaders promise immediate paradise at reduced rates; that is where it costs couple of dollars month to belong to other armies and secure future salvation, bliss on the spot Is guaranteed for four bits.
 Of course this is absurd. But proof that it is not too absurd to followers IS not wanting. Under the constitution religious freedom is guaranteed. Every may seek happiness and salvation by whatever means he pleases. But 1t cannot be denied zeaotry of the people ought to be regulated by body. No one believed that such institution as the Salvation Army could grow powerful in America un- til the physical fact became apparent Now that the presence among Of large numbers of people who should have lived in the middle ages IS established measures should be taken protect them from ire sponsible and insincere regionists.

THE CATTLE QUARANTINE.

! IS gratifying to learn by dispatch from Sacra-
 mento that the restrictions of the national ouaran tine which have been so preudical to the cattle industry of the southern part of the State have in large measure, been set aside and that 1t will now be possible tor catlemen to their stock from the districts where the drought prevails to points north o the quarantine line, where there good pasture for them
 The removal of the southern cattle northward will not in injure the northern industry for the cattle from that section can be removed If desired the State line Thus the way is open to obtain abundant cod fo- all, and the of loss which confronted the cattlemen Is overcome. The relief is timely and will result in an immense saving to one Of the great interests of the commonwealth
 The Cali directed attention to the importance of some relief as this few days ago. and at that tloe pointed out the need of thorough revision of the whole quarantine system What has been accom- plished now by the energies of Governor Budi and the of the State Board of Health in pressing the subject upon the consideration of the Secretary of Agriculture provides relief which seems ample fol the present emergency but 1t is likely that more could be ttaned by persistent demand for reform in the law a whole.
 The drought of the season has brought the evil effects of the law stands clearly before the people, and, while the an,ornt of relief granted Is most grat- public attention until all the arguments of the cattle men have had full hearing at Washington and all their rghtfu claims satisfied

Other items increased, such as coal ex- pendttures for ships from S1 1.SO,OOO to s3,- OPS 900, show the increased cost of modern cruising ships, and the raise of workmen In the dockyards from 20, ,S6S, receiving $6,906, ,445 ten years since to 25.S40 with pay of s9 ,265, ,220, indicates that the dock yards are being utilized better than de- cade ago.
 The most notable part of the First Lords statement is that relating to new construction. It is proposed to com mence three battleships, four armored cruisers and four sloops. all three of the battleships and two of the sloops to be built in the dockyards. Including these new orders the following vessels will be under construction or completion during 1898-99; namely: Twelve battleships, six teen f1rst-class cruisers. six secAnd-cIass cruisers, ten third-claSs cruisers, six sloops four twin-screw gunboatS forty one torpedo boat destroyers and one royal yacht, making ninety-siX vessels in all. or nearly as many as there are in the United States navy, with a large pre- ponderance of tonnage for Great Britain. The labor troubles from July, 1897, up to February last were a great drawback to contractors and dockyards, and the naval programme of last year was greatly re- duced In it's actuality. In the coming year all of the torpedo boat destroyers VIII De completed, ana at least three bat tleships and eight first-class cruisers will be placed in commission.
 Steady progress Is being made in naval ordnance, improved quick-firing guns of six inches are under contract, and all the breech-loaders of that caliber will have been converted into quick-firers six months hence. Corvite is gradually re- placing ordinary gunpowder, and new small arms have been provided, while ri Of hox drawn and replaced with modern ones. The British navy in its material and per sonnel has undergone a complete trans formation in the past ten years at vast expense, but 1t has yet to prove its SUD- posed superiority; perhaps even Its utility.

THE BRITISH NAVAL ESTIMATES

Great britatt. in it's efforts to create and maintain a navy equal at least to the combined navies of two of the Con- tinental powers is put to such an ex- pense as to make 1t doubtful if the limit of expen~ ures Tn that direction has not been reached. The naval estimates arc now nearly So per cent larger than they were ten years ago. and the personnel has been increased over 70 per cent since 1sSS-S9. The statement of the First Lord of the Admiralty explaining the navy estimates for 1S9S-99 was 'presented to Parliament on March 8, and contains in the briefest possible language the opera tions for the past year and the pro- gramme for the ensuing fiscal year. Talk ing the estimates now submitted, and those of ten years ago it should be re- membered that while the votes for 1S95-96 were 50 per cent higher than in 1SSS-S9. the total has now risen to s25 .3S7 900 above that of 1S95-96.

SAN MATED HIGHWAYS.

D address, prepared by Commissioner John K. / \ Price, has just been issued by the Department of Highways to the people of San Mateo County the condition of their roads and the pro posed issue of bonds for the purpose of raising money to improve them The address is excellent in every respect, and will undoubtedly have good effect in vincing the of the advisabity of supporting movement Of such importance to their welfare
 The argument of the address does not deal with the advantages of good roads generally. It IS directed to the people of San Mateo and confines itself closely to the conditions of the roads there Nevertheless 1t ought to have a wide circulation throughout the State for the lessons taught in San Mateo worth learning elsewhere. In many other counties the con- ditons of the highways essentially the same as in the to which the address is specifically directed and the reasons why San Mateo should vote bonds for road improvements would be just as valid with slight changes of statistics and names Of localities if applied to them.
 One of the features of the address of general in is the explanation of the necessity of bond is for extensive road improvements. The law per mits Supervisors levy tax not exceeding 10 cents the $Ioo for road purposes, and an act passed at the last session of the Legislature authorizes levy of special tax of 20 cents the $Ioo for the i'm provement of main public highways within. each dis triCt. None of this can be expended in any district other than the in which the property tax was levied Under this system rich district may improve its highways but poor district IS entirely helpless and its road work is confined small proportions by reason of lack of money.
 As the address points out, it is this system that prevents the connection of important points by good roads. poor and thnly settled district afford to pay the cost of constructing grand highway through its territory, however advantageous such connection with richer districts might prove in the long There IS method provided by law to overcome the difficulty except 1t be by bond is and 1t IS for that the work of road and highway improvement in San Mateo is SO largely de pendent upon the result of the which is to be taken the proposed issue
 It Is be denied that all sections of San Mateo will be benefited by the construction of the grand thoroughare to connect the main high road system of San Francisco with that Of Santa Clara, and also by the opening of good wagon road from the San Francisco line to that of Santa Cruz These benefits being certain and the fact being clear that the only way to obtain them Is by bond issue it can hardly need further argument convince the voters of San Mateo that good business is the side of the bond proposition At any rate the address by reason of its comprehensive study of road work and highway conditions in San Mateo IS valuable contribution to the statistical literature of the State and the Highway of preparing and publishing it.
