AUTUMN DARK.

Dear, woudst thou withe gold-autumn dream?
Then wait awhile be STILL
Watch for the setting, dusky light,
The silence on the hill,
And wait awhile; be STILL
Dear, heed the clap Of little hands,
OF leaves upon the trees,
And hear the singing of the winds,
The toiling OF the seas,
And wait awhile; be still
Dear, wouldst thou with gold-autumn dream?
But watch the wasting dayl
The wind steps softly In the corn;
The light slips TO the hill;
Dear, walt awhile; be still.

President Kilq0'S Address.

Memorial Hall. His text was
Matthews, 6-53, Seek We first
the kingdom Of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you" The
central thought of the speaker
was that it IS the religion of
Christ, in direct contrast to all
other forces, that makes the his

Oakland. Cal, July g.. Secretary

OUR DESTINY.


Are we fulfilling our national des-
tiny?
Such a question naturally OBJ
trudes Itself on the mind on day
like yesterday.
1t is indisputable that thus far
in our history we have been true to
the principles upon which our gov
ernment was founded. ana our ma
tlonal policies have been conceived
and carried out in a spirit of a,tru-
ism. that realizes every expectation
of the admirers of our free institu-
tions. But the success Of the expert
ment in free government is due in
greatest measure to the excellence of
its foundation. Our isolated position,
the necessity of close attention to the
development Of our resources. and
jealousy of foreign nations have COM
bined TO keep US free from distract
ing complications. Our traditions and
the principles inculcated and handed
down in the family circle and school
room have kept us ever in the
straight path of national progress;
but the way is broadening for US
and the real test of our capacity and
endurance Is to come.
Traditions avails nothing to ma
tons or men. Rome and Greece have
traditions. We must preserve the
principles of our government to
guide us in the unchartered seas Of
nationalism Nor must we confuse
policies of expediency with funda-
mental principles.
Men nowadays contend for strict
of the constitution. as
III that we're principle of govern
ment--an issue raised when section
alism was rife, and petty jealousies
of states arose in astounding con-
trast TO the self-sacrifcing spirit Of
the age.
II is not the selfshness Of our
forefathers we would conserve, but
their patriotism. Il is not that spirit
that made each section fight for the
domination of its desires, but that
nobler impulse that move men to
sacrifice home and llfe for the sake
OF an undying principle. Perhaps, it
Is not. given TO many of the living to-
day to offer up their lives on the
field of battle, but it is given to all
Of us to offer up our lives on the
altar of citizenship.
There is the ballot. Do we enter
the. booth as our forefathers marched
on Lexington? Do we mark our tick
cts as free born, sovereign American
citizens. approaching the responsible
tiles of sovereignty. or as Democrats
and Republican,? Can we vote for
the best men and the safest ISSUE re
gardless Of our personal interests IN
some proposed contract?
We today are enjoying the bless
ings of liberty and prosperity, be-
cause of the heroic devotion of men
who laid their foundation on the firm
principles of truth and righteousness
and cemented it with their. own
blood. Our nation has progressed in
the fulfillment Of its destiny thus
far from the impetus given by the
patriots of another century. Let us
ponder on the conditions 1871 years
hence, for which We are to be in .
great measure responsible.

Trick of "A Bachelor.

bachelorhood and marriage. said in
an after-dinner speech in Chicago:
Bachelors, | admit, are villains,
but it is a shame 10 play such tricks
on them as It is customary every
where to do.
"a nasty trick was played on a
bachelor friend Of mine at dance.
A woman was reproaching him for
never having marr.eds when her hus-
band, little bored perhaps. said
lgrufly:

dose as we'll as they dr.>,-1or It was a
recent incident of local politics that
the Democratic candidate charged
that the ND. was not a real, simon
lpure Democratic paper. However,
perhaps, the city hall. officials may
mot have received as strong induce
ments to get regular as the Nd.
did a little later.
Some people may have in times
past doubted the N.-D.'s sense of
party loyalty" and political "integ-
rity'; but no one has ever been
heard TO question its commercial in.
stinct; and after all, Il may be right.
MIR. Harrison said the Nd. was not
a Democratic paper. The Nd ad.
mits his authority to define the at
tributes of Democrat. when IL sup
ports him. Admitting the business of
Mr.. Harrison's standard of Democra-
cy, the ND. will endeavor to attain
regularity by demanding that all
others, who have been similarly
weighed by Mr.. Harrison and found
wanting, establish their party 10y
atty and personal honor" by getting
in line.
Most assuredly. gentlemen: the
declaration that the Nd. was not
a Democratic paper and the attack
on your conduct in Office "were but
issues within the party ranks. and
now that the minor matters are past
(and some trihing patronage has
been rece.ved) loyal Democrats and
party men are but follow
ing the course of loyalty and honor
in declining (sic) this allegiance to
the ticket named"
