Humanity and RELIGION

Humanity is a varying, changeable
thing, at the mercy of contradictory de-
sires. Great is the country, it's saints are
the heroes of Marathon, of Thermopy-
lac, of Valmy and Fleurus. Country,
however, is not everything here below;
one is man and Son of God before being
Frenchman or German. The kingdom
of God, eternal dream, which will never
be torn from the heart Of man, is pro-
test against a too exclusive patriotism.
The thought of an organization of hui
manity in view of it's greatest happiness
and it's moral amelioration is Christian
and legitimate. The state knows but
one thing-how to organize egotism.
That is not Indifferent, for egotism is
the most powerful and the most assaila-
BILE of human motives. But that is not
sufficient. Governments, which have
started with the belief that man is
swayed only by his instincts of cupidity,
are deceived. Devotion is as natural as
egotism to the man of a noble race, and
the organization of devotion is religion.
Let no one hope, then, to get away from
religion, or religious associations. Every
step in the progress of modern society
has made the need for them more i'm
perious.-Ernest Renan.

said: "The testimony in this case has
extended over two months, and 1t is
impossible for any of us to remember all
that has been sworn to here. Most of us
have not read it, and, even If we had,
there would be points which would es-
cape attention. 1t is the duty and the
purpose of the attorneys to property
present these points. 1t will be remem-
bered that many things which at the
time did not seem to have much bearing
on the case were brought out. The at
torneys propose to put these matters
where they belong and to show the
bearing such matters have upon the
case. 1t will not be fair to either side
II argument is not permitted, and 1 can
not vote for the resolution"
When Poor first read his resolution he
had included only one of the two charges
against Webb, and after reading it he
had changed it so as to include both
the charges. Mr.. Gibbon, after Presi-
dent Davis speech, arose and stated
that he would like to ask Mr. Poor a
question. when you presented your
resolution, Mr.. Poor,' he asked, did not
the attorneys for Webb suggest that you
change 1t so as to include all the charges
against him." Poor admitted that the
attorneys had made such a suggestion,
and Attorney Meserve said: Eyes, we
did. What Of it? What has that to do
with the matter?'
"Oh, nothing" replied Mr.. Gibbon. II
think the public will understand the
matter"
This or something else aroused Poor
to speak in support of his resolution.
I'VE have had this matter dinged into
us and donged at us until we are tired
of it, l, for one, do not believe that any
logical arrangement of the facts will
change a single vote. l don't believe
Messrs. Davis, Conrey or Braly would be
changed one bit by the argument of
either Mr.. oliver or Mr.. Meserve. On
the other hand, I do not believe any of
the other members of the board would be
changed in the least by what Judge
Cheney or Mr.. Gibbon might say. The
attorneys would simply talk and the
talk might not be the most pleasant
and believe the resolution a good one"
Mr. Gibbon assured Mr.. Poor that the
attorneys for both sides might be de-
pended upon to keep we'll within the
bounds Of propriety in their argument
He said he knew the attorneys on the
other side would agree with him when
he said that there would be nothing in
the manner of the argument which
would be at all Objectionable. Attor-
neys in the heat of examination might
be prompted to make sharp statements
at times, but that was really because
they were in earnest. Continuing, he
said: much depends upon this investi-
cation. The people expect much, and
they have a right to. There was an
election for school bonds in this city, and
it is a fact that cannot be disputed that

"I will not shake hands with you, DR.
Mathis" said Mr.. Gibbon.
"Why?" asked the doctor in a sur
prised tone.
Because think you have done some
thing of which after time you will be
ashamed. You have instead of assist
ing in complete investigation done all
that you could tonight to defeat the
purpose of the investigation. You have
taken course that I do not believe
even your friends will approve"
That ended it, and the room was
quickly cleared. For half an hour the
crowd fingered at the door. Webb and
Bartlett were the recipients of con-
'gratulations from their friends, but the
whole affair lacked the joyousness
which would have been displayed by
that faction, had the acquittal been
complete and fair and result of COM
pleted trial.

resolution the members of this board
are putting themselves on record. There
has been a very considerable amount Of
testimony pointing to the guilt of the de-
|fendant, and / desire to challenge the
statement made in the resolution to the
contrary. We came here ready to as
sist in presenting the case as it is, to sift
the evidence, classify it and arrange it
in proper form. 1t is such assistance as
no court would disdain to accept. 1t is
a matter with the obard, and if the board
desires to take such action it is, of course,
at liberty to do so.'
Director Conrey opposed the resolu-
ton. "The suggestion was made to me
today that some such action be taken"
said he, but was unable to agree to
such course then, and 1 am unable to
do so now. This is too serious mat
ter to be disposed of in this manner
without argument. Since this investi-

the defeat of those bonds at the polls
was nothing more or less than a vote
of lack of confidnce in this board by the
people Of this city,"
This was too much for Webb. He in
terrupted Mr.. Gibbon with a point of
order, in which he contended that it was
not right for attorneys to make such
speeches while there was motion be-
fore the board and especially when
there was nothing whatever in any of
the evidence which pointed to his guilt
He objected to Mr.. Gibbons addressing
the board, but his objections amounted
to nothing, for before the point of order
was decided, Mr.. Gibbon concluded by
saying: "It was vote of want of con-
fidence, and it showed that the people Of
this city were not satisfied with the
manner in which the affairs of the school
department were being conducted, nor
with some of the men who were con-
Quoting them. I say to you, as MEM
bers of the board of education, that in
spite of the fact that better school facil-
tiles are needed, and that the people
know they are needed, not one cent will
the people of this city vote to you while
you are in office If you take the action
contemplated in that resolution. The
schools need improvement, but with
such an ending of this case the people
will have no faith in the board, and it
may be that many poor child will live
to curse you for having abridged it's
school privileges to the extent of the
year that you will remain in Office If
this board takes this action, the people
will look upon it as case of whitewash-
ing the charges, and not as vindication
or an acquittal."
Director McInerny objected to the

CALIFORNIA OPINION
A Real Millennium

We are glad to note the existence of
so much cordiality and good feeling be-
tween Riverside and San Bernardino.
The era of good feeling seems to have
set in with the county division and to
have grown ever since. Prior to the di-
vision the newspapers delighted to say
mean things about their neighbors, while
the people stood behind them and ap-
plauded. All this is changed now, and
changed for the better. The prompt re-
sponse of the Riverside fire department
to San Bernardinos call for aid at the
time of the recent fire, and the royal
treatment they received shows that the
old animosity was only sort of ira
ditionary feud, the origin of which no
body could emember.-Riverside En-
terprise
The herald., 1898-01-28

cation has been in progress it has been
the rule of the board that each side was
to be given an opportunity to present it's
case in it's own way. The argument is
certainly part of the presentation of
the case, and am in favor of having the
case closed properly"
M'INERNY'S AMENDMENT
Director McInerny took the floor to
still further extend the scope of the
whitewashing game. To that end he
offered an amendment that the resolu-
tion include all charges pending before
the board. He said he referred to the
charges against Mr.. Braly.
Mr.. Braly would not be a party to the
scheme, and he Immediately declared
that if there were any charges against
| him he did not desire that they be dis
posed of in that manner. There are
really no charges against me before
the board" said he. "There is a resolu-
ton which may be said to contain what
is intended to be a charge. If there is
anything to be charged against me
want an investigation, and will not con-
sent to any such disposal of the matter.
In regard to Mr.. Poors resolution,
think it is unfair to both sides. The at
torneys here have prepared with great
care what they are to say with reference
to the evidence. The summing up of
that evidence is necessary, and for one
desire to hear it. There has been such
mass of evidence presented that it is
difficult to remember it ALL
The McInerny amendment failed of a
second and was Withdrawn after Presi-
dent Davis had stated that he did not
consider it proper at that time.

appraisers at New York today decided
the cases which they have had under
consideration for some time involving
the construction of section 22 of the new
tariff act. The hearing in effect sus-

In which he held that the discriminating
duty of 10 per cent does not attach to
goods of foreign manufacture or pro-
duction brought into the United States
in transit through a contiguous foreign
country. This decision apparently set
ties the questions involved, as the de
partment will not take an appeal.

A Weak Plea

The ex-presidential plea for a COM
