DEWEY DAY FETE.
Native Sons and Daughters All
Hard at Work for It.

The Native Sons and Native Daugh-
ters are going to great expense to have
every possible attraction for those who
attend the Dewey Fete at Oak Park on
May 1st. There are to be two plat
forms, one for the dancers, and on the
other platform, at the opposite end OF
the grounds, takes place the crown
ing of the May Queen, reception by the
Queen and the athletic part of the pro-
gram. The latter will consist of sSsec-
ialties by members of the Sacramento
Athletic Club, including the Lightning
Two D. E. Newbert and E. C. Schenk,
assisted by Robley and Karl Schenck.
The grounds are to be lighted by
electric lights, and in addition hundreds
of lanterns of red, white and blue Will
add greatly to the effect.
Day by day the list of names of those
who are decorate carriages for the
procession is increasing, and it may be
necessary to add another band. Grand
Marshal Ennis is assigning place to
each one, and it is. earnestly hoped that
citizens will send in their names as
soon as possible, to avoid confusion at
the last moment.

There are to be over 100 members of

Raise In Telephone Rates.

A general raise in telephone rates
could easily be made if there were but
one telephone company in Sacramento.
The Capital Telephone Company is
not raising its rates. neither is it trying
to make people pay more money in or
der to get a promise of service from its
telephones. Good service is a part Of
its business. The price of the "Capi-
taPs' two-party line, selective signal,
long distance instrument is $3.50 per
month with free local switching; main
Line $3.50 per month. The Carpet Bag"
solicitors of the "Old Telephone Mo
nopoly'' are again making the assertion
that they intend to drive the Capital
out of the telephone field in less than
six MONTHS
The Capital Telephone Company is in
business to stay and so long as the tele-
phone using public want reliable tele-
phone service at fair rates, the Capital
will be here to give it.

A Religious Trust.

1t Is not remarkable that the system Of
combination in business undertakings,
known as the trust, is now recommended
for adoption by churches and other reli-
gious enterprises. Tho suggestion is made
by a correspondent OF the Church Economist
with reference to Church consolidation
more particularly, but II the trust would
be saving OF money and energy, then its
advantages can be carried not less strik-
ingly to all religious undertakings.
This correspondent gives as an example
one city where there are three churches OF
a single denomination in ono block, and he
calculates that by their consolidation q
saving OF $40, $50 n year could be effected
II the question was simply one of business,
hc says, tho ordinary business man"
would DO likely to think of the propriety
Of getting rid OF useless competition by
consolidating the three churches. He asks,
therefore, Is it not really strange that ra-
tional men, who. in their affairs Of business,
count with exactness every item of expense,
should allow themselves literally to be
robbed in the conducting OF their religious
concerns2"
II the churches OF one denomination may
not all denominations unite in trust
Such proposition is now actually under
consideration, for that is what tho "Rcli-
gious Conference" started in New York re-
Gently amounts to practically. 1t is to COM
bine Trinitarians and Untarians, Christians
and Jews in religious effort, or essentially
in trust. The very proposition is an indi-
cation OF state OF feeling among those
making II as to questions Of religion. 1t
seems to indicate that the formation Of such
trust Is possible with them, for 1t sug-
gests that the radical difference of opinion
out of which grew their religious compe-
tition has passed away and been succeeded
| by an Indifference which can now be graft
| fled by n religious trust Of Jews and Cen
| tiles, infdels, agnostics and nominal be-
| levers. BY following the plan Of Bishop
| POTTER and throwing over dogma, such q
| religious trust will get rid Of the sole rea-
| son for division. In place Of contradictory
| belief in dogmas it can set up religious
philosophy, a systom Of philanthropy, in
which there will be agreement. At any
rate. there Is nothing else for it to do il it
is to have any practical issue.
| The trust could then be extended to all
| TtllBlouS tllItTpTiStS, III IL great bdNlnR OF
| money, many millions of dollars for in
| place of numerous competing machines in
every field, one common machine would be
sufficient for the purpose.
Why, then, is not such a religious trust
formed, and when will it be formed
actually? So long as religious conviction
remains it Is impossible, but it will be
feasible if there shall ever come time
when men cease to have any religious
| belief.

this passivity or neutrality Is about all that
is unpromising. Some islands, like Cebu
and Bohol. are ready for our occupancy
now. while in Sulu the Sultan refrigerated
the friendly sentiments which Mr.. SCHUR-
MAN expressed. In Negroes the inhabitants,
as whole, are friendly to us, and although
some OF them are said to have fired on tho
California regiment that withdrew from
the island, yet at Bacolod, Silay and other
places Prof. SCHURMAN had been officially
received, and leading people submitted to
him the draft Of constitution which they
hope to have us accept.
This visit should have the good result OF
showing that our military work in the
Philippines is less extensive and less ar
duous than the anti-expansionistsp pretend.
1t Is not true that after getting through
with Luzon we shall have the same task
before us in the Visayas, the Suus and
Mndanao. The strength Of the rebellion
is in Luzon. With the downfall of AGUr
NALDos followers there, nothing else Of
consequence is to be feared.

Democracy will never be restored to Its
former state. but will remain hereafter the
party OF radicalism. Its whole vitality
comes now from the radical spirit infused
into it by Organism. 1t has no other genu-
inc enthusiasm, as was demonstrated so en-
phatically at the Tammany meeting on the
Fourth. That spirit could not be repressed
even by the despotic Tammany ruler,
for 1t Is the feeling that masters the hearts
of every Democratic assemblagc More
over, the occasion was Independence Day,
and the fighting blood of tho Democracy
was up. At the Democratic State Conven-
tion in New York last year, CROKER was
more successful in compelling obedience to
his orders to ignore BRYAN and the Chicago
platform, but II those magic words had
been uttered the scene Mt the Tammany
meeting would have been forestalled.
Everything would have given way before
the expression of the genuine and fiery
feeling of the vast majority OF the dele
gates. AS 1t was, the nomination OF any
candidate who had not voted for BRYAN
was impossible.
That is the situation, and the opposition
to this enthusiastic and aggressive senti-
mcnt must faco 1t. The so-called gold
Democracy is powerless. 1t has nohopc Of
obtaining more than such an evasion OF the
Chicago platform as was attempted so UNI
successfully at the Tammany meeting on
Tuesday. Gold Democrats so-called, will
never dare to utter the word gold in that
presence, for to the vast majority Of the
delegates 1t will mean only ignominious sur
render. Against the courage Of the Democ-
racy Of the Chicago platform the cowardice
OF the gold Democracy cannot avail.
What probability is there that issues
growing out Of the war can be made by the
Democratic party in 1900 without out
raging all patriotic sentiment Will the
Democracy call on the American people to
surrender the fruits Of victory in war
Will it put itself in opposition to human
nature itself2 The Democratic party made
such an assault in 1864, and for twenty
years thereafter it suffered from the dis
grace in exclusion from the possibility Of
national power. 1t is not likely to repeat
the experiment in 1900.
The probability rather is that it will re-
peat it's policy Of 1895, because in that
alone will it have an excuse for organized
existence. And the contest will be bitter.

about "a demoraliIcd army of 5000 unemployed
clergy, driven into compulsory retirement while

mercilessly Analysed the list presented to it, and
reduced the 5000 to about 100. As time goes on
even these are likely to find employment. as tho
number Of candidates FOR ordination has been
