sea. While many of these questions can be disposed of only according to the cir cumstances which may surround them. yet 1t is true that every result must be carried out along the line of lofty senti- ment which inspired the war and has characterized it's conduct from the begin ming until now. This spirit is so antagon- istic to some of the early traditions of our country as to occupy, to them, an opposite relation in the future, and war of ex- termination will be waged between them
 If. to-day, this matter had resolved it. self into a political question, l would not advert to 1t; but So far 1t stands out above the unseemly conflict of parties, and it is citizen to give free and public converse to it. 1 claim my share of reverence and veneration for the fathers of the constitu- tion. the echo of whose voices still rings through hall and upon battlefield. Yet the dawning century is fraught with greater moments, greater changes, greater revolu- tions than those they could foresee. Man could never have been endowed with wis dom which, from that standpoint could have enabled him to calculate that the fillment of so many prophecies upon these western confines They could look into the future far as human eye could see yet the visions of the. world and all the wonders that would be, were closed to them and to the light under which they moved and lived and saw. d
 From their time until now the nation has never tagen a step save to ignore these traditions until they have become veTier- abel without being sacred Every country has had its traditions, sometimes loved and sometimes feared, a memory, a super stition. a prophecy, Minerva. dragon, or sibyl. Whatever 1t may be, "A speck, a mist. shape wist,' it throws it's an cient shadow over the concerns of na- tion and over the problems of its life and existence. Can the American peo- pie be wise and temperate and can they be trusted without these oracles ? For a moment let us look upon the condi- tions of the world as they have changed from the times of the fathers. The South American and Central American repub- lies are boiling over with revolution
 Canada is growing, and in few years as a nation measures its life, 1t will be- come too great a possession, province or a colony. It will be. an independent republic, not wrenched with violent hands from the mother country. but peacefully and by force of the inevitable events incident to the life of such a peo- pie and such a country. Instead of colony it will become an ally, Russia is berfa, waiting for the development of little speck in the eastern sky destined

That little band has increased to 10000 in number, and from the rocky heights o'erarching the murmuring sea to upon the East, they spread the fame of the pioneer, and seek to preserve the memories of the olden time and the golden prime of California. All those who join the order become more imbued with the love of country and the traditions as- sociated with its early life and history. It's purpose is to make better men by teaching the first duties of the citizen, and in that so shaping the destiny of the country that it may follow in the foot prints of the fathers of the republic, with their justice, their humanity, their con der of Native Sons of the Golden West.

Many of them stood upon the shores of the Atlantic looking out upon the waste of sea; they saw the ships laden with the commerce of a mighty ocean; there was the old life upon the wave, the old hope and the old ambition. They turned their backs upon the sea to look upon the west with It's thousand dangers. Yet there was about it the invisible, and out of. that inscrutable appeal to pene- bade home and friends adieu for newer and harder fate. Their wanderings have been the theme of story and song; trial and vicissitude were their familiars.
