4 wcll-known country squire owned
an equally wcllknown parrot, which

popularity and reputation for saying
funny things. On one occasion the
squire was expecting his uncle for a

fun if, on the arrival Of the said un-
Gle, Judy came out with:
"[lalloa, Uncle! How are you?'
SO one morning he tried to teach
the phrase to the bird. Judy, how
ever, was in depressed mood, and
she couldn't be persuaded to talk or
do any Of her tricks. The squire who
was m irascriblc man. shouted vio-
lcntly:
Say uncle Say uncle! Say uncle,

But Judy was obstinate and nn
threats could make her say Il word.
The squire thcrcIpon gave way To his
wrath, and, scizing Judy by the head,
swung her round and round. then
threw her out Of the window.
About half an hour aftcrward he
heard a great scrccching in his fowl

upon men than devotion to the flag,
and that when a nation goes wrong it is
the duty of the church to withstand it.
There would then be indeed that sepa-
ration of church from state which We
all so loudly profess to desire, and as
consequence there would be a ruction
Of immense proportions, for it is an in
variable rule that when men are grant
ed their desires there is always q row.
If we have faith in religion we must
believe it possible to educate Filipino
without killing all his relatives and re-
ducing him to servitude: but If we have
charity for all men we must tolerate the
war breathing preacher and concede
his right to practice Christianity by
blood and slaughter. In a recently
published letter Mrs. Elizabeth Bar
rett Browning said:
I'm our age faith and charity are
found-but they are usually found
apart. We tolerate everybody because
we doubt everything; or else we toler-
ate nobody because we believe some
thing. Largeness of intellectual vision
becomes indistinctness in the apprehen
sion of outline, just as the case is in
physical near -sightedness."
Mrs. Browning is dead and her age is
dead with her, but the old problem re-
mains; and what is perplexing the
The San Francisco call., 1899-10-01

theess is only fair to direct attention to the fact
that the law was enforced and the egro did receive
fair trial and an acquitta
The Southern papers, however, in when
they assume that the loud denuncation of lynching
taken in connection with the comparative silence in
the Northern press when the law is enforced is a
proof OF prejudice against the people OF the South
There is such prejudice OF sectionalism lett in any
considerable portion OF the Northern people 1t is
well understood by all intelligent Northern men that
Southern people have difficult problem to deal with
in the antagonism OF races, and there is wide SYM
pathy with them. Every effort made by Southern Off
cals enforce law and keep in order the unruy ele
nents OF both is noted with more than ordinary
satisfaction 1t is desirable that every portion OF the
Union be prosperous and peaceful and much has
been done in the North to direct attention to the
progress OF Southern industries and the improvement
Of Southern conditions. Such injustice may have
been done in the discussion OF lynching carries its
atonement with it, for it has had other motive
than ardent desire have such outrages stopped
and TO rouse the Southern people themselves to a
perception of the wrong done to their section by the
occurrence OF such crimes.
The San Francisco call., 1899-10-01
JUSTICE TO THE SOUTH.

OUIHERN newspapers complain with a con-
siderable show OF justice that while every lynch
- law outrage in d Southern State is displayed IS
d sensation in the news OF the day and made use OF
by considerable number OF Northern papers as an
occasion for denouncing the Southern people, little or
attention is given in either the news or the edi-
torial columns to the efforts made in the South TO
eradicate antagOnisms, enforce law and put a
stop to lynching.
The Savannah News cites the recent Delega Incl
dent in Georgia as a case in point. When the dis
turbances at Darien took place over the attempt to
Delegal and threats OF lynching were made by
certain classes OF the whites the affair was heraded
far and wide as a race war, but as soon as the law
enforced the issue was dropped and no credit
given the State authorities by the outside critics
who had been so busy in condemnng what they called
the awessness OF the South 1--WE have SO far failed
to see" it says, "any comments in the Northern
papers upon the fact that the State OF Georgia put
herself to thousands of dollars OF expense ordered
ont the militia and convened two special terms OF
court in order to secure safety and Justice to a negro
charged with assault upon white woman and that
i'll the end jury OF white men found the negro not
guilty of the crime alleged and restored to him his
liberty"
The business of complaint of the kind is not to be
questioned Lurid reports of lynchngs tend to pro.
duce the impression that many Southern communi-
ties are relapsng into something like barbarsm and
that life and property not secure Reports of
that nature are harmful a community in more WAYS
than for they seriously impede its industrial and
commercial advancement, and the South being in
need OF an increase OF population and of capital is
the more injured by any false impression produced
among the people OF the North concerning its social
conditions.
The relations between the whites and the blacks Of
Southern Georgia bad enough even upon the
showing made by the News. A community in which
the Governor has to call out the militia convene tw,
special terms OF court and put the State thousands
OF dollars OF expense for the purpose OF securing 10
citizen his right OF trial by Jury is certainly not the
most law-abidng community in the world and is

The climate of the district was ordained

the people who live in it have expanded
in all good things until they have be-
come the best hosts and finest compan-
ions good fellowship can desire. 1t was

a good right to celebrate its past hon
ors. The festival of a thousand drinks

be found in the thousand vagaries
preached and practiced in the names Of
religion and of science During the cur
rent discussion of the strife in the Phil
ippines what pranksome preaching has
there been! Here is a case fresh from
the Republican convention In Nebraska.
To that body there came the Rev. Mr.
Mailey, who made a speech, prefacing 1t
with the statement: Il am no politician
simply a preacher" His speech was
an insistent demand for the prosecution
of the war against the enemy We are
trying to save and civilize," and in the
course of it the usual declaration in
favor of fighting for the flag, right or
wrong" When that doctrine is shouted
from the mouths of irresponsible lay
men it hardly means more than that
such people are careless alike of the
principles of justice and the honor of
the nation; but when a man speaking
professedly as a Christian preacher
proclaims the creed it is time for the
church to get after him. If declara-
ton in favor of war, right or wrong, :"
be not heresy in the church of Christ,
then there is no heresy in that church
and very little of Christ.

charges against the war spouters of the
pulpit with no intention of taking part
in any controversy that might arise
from the trial of such charge I can

San Jose has undertaken to entertain
the State with grand jubilee in COM
memoration of the fftieth anniversary
of the organization of the Government
of California as a State. which took
place in that city December 30, 1S49: If
my memory be not in error the body
that organized the Government we are
now so proud of, in that beautiful
pueblo on that auspicious occasion. is
known to fame as The Legislature of
Thousand Drinks" The moderation
of the men of that time is amazing. A
thousand drinks would not last d Legis-
lature of our time even little while.
That many would be poured out in liba-
tions on the first appearance of Ma
yuma. The title, however, is full of
pleasant suggestions, and if San Jose
carry her patriotic endeavor through it
is safe prediction that every promise
the phrase suggests will be fully real
