Rev. DIR. Locke on "shamg. ="

The subject Of Rev DR.. Locke of the
Central Methodist Church. Mission street,
was "Shams." The scripturaI text for
the evening was st. Luke kill. On this
DR. Locke said Hypocrisy is a grace
less excrescence of civilization. AS truth
IS at enmity to a lie, as purity shrinks
from corruption, so heaven abhors
hypocrisy.
There are business shams. Much that
passes for shrewd financiering is moth
ing less than highway robbery. It does
seem that the American people like to be
humbugged If one can judge from the
prosperity Of cheap and shoddy business
houses
There are social and political shams
Men whom the Bard Of Avon describes
when he says:
Man. proud man,
Dressed in a little brief authority,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
AS 10 make angels weep
"Our system OF government contem-
plates that there shall be good men in
politics.; politicians who are statesmen;
men who, like Henry Clay, would rather
be right than President.
Il would speak also of the intellectual
sham. The man who has intellect and
ideas, but has not the courage Of his
convictions. Calico suffered martyrdom
and Copernicus was communicated for
what they believed. But alasl that so
many despise their opportunities in not
honoring the ideas which their brilliant
minds have originated
But most despicable of all is the re-

ligions sham. Beware of the leaven of
the Pharisees which is hypocrisy. Many
so-called pillars of the church are nothing
but hollow logs. Many of these shams
are leading double lives 'Ye cannot
serve God and mammon' are our Lords
own words. Some of these are ludicrous-
~ defending their corrupt practices by
giving the excuse of the disgraced Ken
lucky Congressman who said that he was
seeking in his pretended character of a
Christian to neutralize the evil influences
which resulted from his sinful indulg-
ences. Alas, how many of those who are
saying Lord Lord! and are not doing
the will of the Father in heaven will hear
at the Judgment never knew you; de-
part from me, ye that work iniquity.'
The persistent demand is for men of
absolute sincerity. SScere men gho are
as bold as lions, as gallant as courc>srs,
as Valorous as knights, as meek as
Moses, as pure as a vestal, as noble as
princes, as amiable as John and as holy
as Stephen. Let the sign 'Wanted-Sin-
cere men! be hung up in school and in
church, in the forum and in the marts of
trade-everywhere! The peremptory need
is for men. The manliness of Christ is
the true type. Let us initiate and honor

UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA;
new PRESIDENT
Likely to Be Benjamin
Ide Wheeler.
RUM0R GIVES HIM THE POST
THE CORNELL PROFESSOR MAY
SUCCEED KELLOGG.
He Refuses to Deny That He Has
Been Offered the Place, But Says
He May Have Something
to Say Later.
RUM0R GIVES HIM THE Post
THE CORNELL PROFESSOR MAY
SUCCEED KELLOGG.

There is good reason to believe that the
regents of the University of California
have practically decided upon the man
who is to succeed President Kellogg at the
head of the big State educational institu-
ton at Berkeley. 1t is more than hinted
that the new president will be Benjamin
Ide Wheeler, professor of Greek and COM
parative philology at Cornell University.
Professor Wheeler's name has been
more or less prominently mentioned in
connection with the position for some time
past, and since his recent visit to Cali
fornia, when he lectured at the university,
the feeling that he would be selected to
take Kelogg's place has been growing
steadily both here and at Ithaca, n. ].
In fact, a dispatch received from the lat
ter city last night says it is persistently
rumored at Cornell that the professor has
already been invited to accept the presi-
dency at Berkeley and will in all proba-
bility do so, and this rumor is given more
credence in view of the fact that the pro-
fessor will not deny the report, but con-
tents himself with saying he can neither
deny nor affirm it, suggesting, however,
that he may have something to say on
the subject in the course of a couple of
weeks.
Should Professor Wheeler be installed
as president of the State University the
Regents will have cause to congratulate

Will Move to Reconsider the
Railroad Commissions
Action.
BlaCkstOCk Will Make Stand in Favor
of Abandoning the Pending Liti-
cation Without Delay.

Railroad Commissioners Edison, Lau-
meister and Blackstock are not in the
same accord with one another as they
were apparently at the last session of the
commission, and there promises to be a
lively session to-day. At the last meet
ing there was a unanimous vote on the
resolution resembling the resolutions of
the former board. which provided for a
p per cent reduction in freight rates in
the future and for an immediate reduc-
lion of per cent in grain rates on the
lines of the Southern Pacific Company.
To mis- resolution Of rescission was at
tached a proviso suggested by Commis-
sionor Laumeister that grain rates should
be reduced per cent.
Blackstock was the father of the
original resolution. His idea was that the
passage of it allowed the suit Of the
Southern Pacific to fall to the ground, as
il withdrew the cause Of the action.
Laumeister claims that the proviso
must be carried out before. the resolution
of rescission becomes effective and that
the Southern Pacific must dismiss its
case before any reductions can be made
by the commission
Edison is opposed to the entire proceed
ings of the last meeting. He is not in
favor Of the commission taking the initia-
tive in any contemplated compromise but
believes that the first step should be
made by the railroad company and that
this step should be the dismissal of the
pending suit. AT the meeting to-day he
will move for a reconsideration of the
rescission resolution.
Commissioner Edison arrived from Ca
zelle and Commissioner Blackstock from
Ventura yesterday, to attend the meeting
of the board to-day. Both put up at the
Occidental Hotel, where they were inter
viewed.
Il intend to move for a reconsideration
Of the resolution of rescission," said Com
missioner Edison. Il was never in favor
of it, and voted for it simply to be able
10 move for a reconsideration, as
thought We should have a better under
standing Of the matter before taking
final action. l have some doubts of the
power of this board to rescind the action
OF its predecessor. In this connection 1
have submitted a number of questions to
Attorney General ord. One of these was
whether we had authority to rescind the
resolutions of reduction adopted by the
old board. Another was whether we had
the power to reScind the % per cent resO-
luton without resembling the per cent
reduction on grain rates. l also Sugpest ed

OLD VETERANS AT VALLEJO
Enjoyable Reception rendered Sol

Last Saturday evening delightful re-

Corps No. 30, Hartford Circle No. % and
the veterans of Farragut Post No. 4, G..

Commander J. A. Andres introduced
Cahen, who made an eloquent address,
touching upon the lofty patriotism in
spired by the Grand Army and the lessons
to be learned by it's existence. He was

which Judge A. ]. Buckles of Solano

HUNTINGTON IS ILL.
The Aged Railroad Magnate Confined
to His Home by a Cold.

c. P. Huntington, president of the
Southern Pacific Company, was confined
to his home by illness all day yesterday.
He had been suffering from a cold on
Saturday and was given a prescription by
DR. NJ. Gardner, his regular physician.
Yesterday the cold took a turn for the
worse, and owing to the absence of DR..
Gardner from the city another physician
was called in
1t was stated at the house of the aged
and i'll millionaire last night that the cold
had affected his kidneys and that he had
to take to his bed. 1t is believed that
there is no serious danger, except what
may be caused by the advanced age of
the patient.

miss the case against the commission and
then trust to us to do what is right in the
matter. My idea is not TO pull other peo-
pies chestnuts out of the fire lor them.
The railroad company began the suit and
they should dismiss 1t. If We allow the
suit to go hv default We will have to pay
the costs, and | believe that the railroad
company should be made to do tnis. This
is my opinion, but / have also asked the
Attorney General to look into the ques-
ton of costs. He viii appear before the
commission tomorrow, when all these
questions will be discussed and probably
settled"
Commissioner Blackstock stood firmly
by his resolution and his Interpretation
of it. Il understand that the resolution
of the former board was absolutely re-
scnded at our last meeting" he said.
The proViSo of Mr.. LaumeiSter was SIM
ply a condition subsequent or one to be
performed after the main resolution had
become effective. In my opinion our
action in withdrawing the cause of the
pending litigation will not saddle the
costs of that suit on us, but they will fall
on the railroad company. | am in favor
of getting down to business at the earli-
est time and think grain rates should be
reduced on every railroad in the State.
The per cent reduction should not be
horizontal, but should be applied where
II is most needed, even if the reductions
in some sections should be double 8 per
cent.
"I have no fear of the commission be-
ing in contempt by its action in announc-
ing the proposed reduction of per cent
on grain rates, while the temporary in
junction of the Circuit Court is still in
force. We will not be in contempt until
our reduced schedule of rates is served
on the railroad company, and that will
not be for some weeks. l don't think we
will have any trouble with the railroad
company in putting in the proposed re
ductions. We have no understanding
with the company, but l base my views
on the fact that a compromise on the
basis we propose was made to Mr.. La
Rue by Mills. l have also learned from
Mr.. La Rue that he was strongly in favor
of such a settlement of the controversy.
I believe in doing business right out, and
not in haaline the devil about the stIInn .,
