Former President Cleveland
Urges That We Be a
Strongly Reyerent People

PHILADELPHIA Jan. 29:-Grover
Cleveland was the principal speaker
at to-day's exercises in connection
with the celebration of the fiftieth an
niversary of the Philadelphia Young
Mems Christian Association. Three
meetings were held this afternoon. At
one of them Harry A. Garfield, son of
the president, who holds the profess
sorship of American politics at Prince
ton, spoke. Cleveland's theme was
christianity" He said among other
things:
AS a serious minded people. conscious of the
immense responsibility resting on in the
matter of popular rule, we should be reverent
people-not merely by lip service but ruggedly
strongly reverent. This Is not to say we should
be sad and gloomy people. On the contrary.
with free institutions and with equality of
offers, should be the most cheerful and
light hearted people in the world
1t rs not worth while to blink at the fact
that without going far from home we can
even Christian are liable under strong tempta-
tion to backslide to barbarism, which permits
war and slaughter to count for a people S
greatness and reckons ruthless conquest among
slant preventive against such danger and that
is the sincere acceptance, as guidance to ma
tional behavior. of the honor, the love of peace,
the devotion to justice and truth, the forbear-
ance and inviolable good faith which grow out
of genuine Christianity and civilization No
stream runs higher than it's source, and a gov
ernnent by the people will be better than
the people make it. If these qualities to be
recognized guides of national conduct under
our plan of rule the people must command

RECESSION BILL
FINDS ENEMIES
Judge Conley of MADEIRA Is
Actively Lobbying Against
Yosemite Valley Measure
WARM FIGHT EXPECTED
Claim Is Made That Pres
ence of Soldier Guardians
i'm Park Mehaces Campers
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 29.-The fight
on the Yosemite recession bill reopens
this week, Wednesday on special or
der of the House and Thursday in the
Senate. Neither side Is confident of
victory at this time, though the anti
recessionists claim accessions of
strength and are laying much Stress
of the effect of lobbying against the
bill last week of Judge William M
Conley of MADEIRA.
Judge Conley said that neither the
question of sentiment nor the ques-
ton of finance supplied a basis for his
argument against recession, but that
his opposition to the bill was based on
the fact that if the valley is re-ceded
to the Federal Government it will
mean that the same will be patroled
by Federal troops, negroes in all
probability, and in this he saw a
grave menace to the safety of camp
ers and others that may visit the res
ervation. He says that last summer
negroes cut open several tents and
insulted women that were in the val
ley, their conduct being the inevitable
result of isolation and the lack Of
proper restraint.
The proponents of the bill, how
ever, say that the condition of which
Judge Conley complains can easily be
remedicd, and that if proper represen-
tations are made to the authorities
at Washington a different class of
guardians will be placed in the valley
and the danger of criminal acts on the
part of large bodies of troops elm
mated.
Jones of Tuolumne is the leader of
the opposition to the bill in the AS
