And yei the matier is wholly explicable. We arevery far from per- fection—the best of us. And out of the love of ur own faith, out of the'stress of our convic- , uften grows our-intolorance of other faiths. sut thatlove of faith and its accompanying intolerance of other faiths is, perhaps, at the bottom of all the unhappy experience through which the people of these United States are now passing, the country is agitated from Fast to West. The ol story of religious con- troversy is heard again inthe land. Woat is 7 To prove the trath of this or that ? Not at all. That- in itseli might be motive of sharpening the faculties of the testants and bring out same phases of reli- gious truth. Its object is tantamount toan as- ertion that our secular government is unsta- e unless it consents fo the interference of sectarian religion. That confession rests upon vy ambition, hence the object is an un- worthy one. Ine 1aet is that the sects are growing rest- less again. Old feuds, supposedly buried or soitened with the years of peace, are breaking out once more. Each creed deems itself Lest again, and presents a claim to sectarian- izing the Government. 1n theirefforts tode 50 they exhibit the worst elements of. that partisan neture that erstwhile favored perse- cution. They openly edvocate & violation of the rights of consciénce and free speech, the dearest rights of a iree-born citizen. Tnere have been unorganized and or: anized efforts of that kind. e all know of efforts to amend the constitution so that it recognizes God. Beneath the suggestion of that amendment lies & theological ambition to force upon the country a sectarian interpretation of the Deity. Thissimply would mean the establishment religion, in the sense of elnblnhmi a par- cuier form thereof, and that, a8 you know, is rary to the spirit of the first amendment, and therefore perversion of the peace of the nation. You slso remember, no doubt, Te- peated efforis were made to hinder Jews and Adventists from pursuing thefr vocationson what is commonly called the Lord’s day, on the ground that such people violated the Christian Sabbath. There is, literaliy speak- ing, no Christian Sabbath. There isa dies non, made so by the consent of the majority of the people, and while it maybe within the prov- iuce of any Legislature to assess penalties agaiost the man who violates this consent. we cannotundersiend by whatconstruction of civil lew a person whodoes not believe that Sunday 1t can sink | = | do with our auty s cit * | measures, o, if w t | political opinion h { s do not so much represent | ed by the masses of the ! is the divinely ordained day of rest can be made o do £6, and to abstain from_his wonted pl“““ Such efforts aze violations of the Tight of conseience. They are desiructive of the peece of the people, and undermine the re- spect the cltizens now entertain for the mes- sages of religion. ut by far the most pernicious thing that f\er Taised its head in this country is the po- itical religious society that seeks to invest 8ny creed with the character of deminancy by Ineans of political infiuences. Whatever its Name or denomination or religious parentage it i3 nothing more nor less than a conspiracy Against the constitution of the United States and the people secking the proteciion of that great and holy instrument. The tendency of such organizetions is, first, to glorif their own “ereed as the dominant one; secondly, to exclude from the hts and prerogatives of Government any one OF any number who do mot subscribe 10 or accept the theological interpretations of their creed, and thereby to introduce into the country a species of inquisition, no less per- nicious because among the reans it uses to accomplish its purposes are not tne old means of torture and imprisonment and death. They begin innocen enough. They commence their corporate iife as social or political organ- izations, ostensibly for the purpose of correct- ing & that have attached themselves to the government, but the cloven hoof is soon visible. Hatred against other denomina- tons and the ambition to make their own creed a dominant influence soon &p- pear to be the motive. I have no & tack 1o make on any particular soci of that character. I hold themall, of whatever description, in equalabhorrence. Ihold them guilty of treason agaiust the constitution. They seek 10 fan the flames of religious perse- cution. They throw the country in a foment that may resultin the worst evils that have yet befallen us. For there is no hatred as ter- rible in its consequences as religious hatred. There is no limit 1o the exteat it will go in set- ting a Cain’s brand on its own forehead.

What can we do when wa see the passions of the people stirred up s they are now? When people are stuitifying themselves by violating the constitution of the United States? When the worst passions of humanity are by ing stirred up? Our grandfathers all know that the very worst passions of humanity are religions passions. Nothing in civilized life 1s 50 horrible as religious passion. Nothingeffects the welfare of & country more than rehgions hatreds. Nothing will bring so near to war than the attitudes of the sects 10 one an- other.

Auditor Broderick, Attorney Dennis Spencer and Milk Inspector Dockery ap- peared before the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday to see what action was to be taken in the matter of holding out the warrants of several em- ployes of the Health Office whose salaries were not provided for by tie appropria- tion for the fiscal year. Itdeveloped that the Auditor and health officials had been under a misapprehension regarding the intention of the committee, aud that un- less the Board of Health intended to ap- point a lot of additional milk inspectors no objection wauld be made to the pay- ment of the salaries of those now per- forming their duties. Though not promis- ing thai it would, Attorney Spencer inti- mated that the Board of Health might wait until the Supervisors make the next tax levy before appointing the inspectors, so that provision might be made for their salarie A Auditor Broderick will sign the warrapts in question to-da; THEY DISAGREED. The Jury in the Haskell Case Still Re- fuse to Acquit and Are Dis- charged. The unruly jury in the Haskell case, which refused to acquit the defendant after being instructed to do so by tne court, was again given the case to wrestle with last evening. C. H. Young has been prosecuting B. G. Haskell for embezzlement. He charged that Haskell, as his attorney, compro- mised a case for $1000, and has refused to turn over any of the money. The evidence shows that Young had acknowledged Haskell as a debtor for the amount be shouid nave turned over, and upon that showing Judge Bahrs grauted a motion to instrnet tae jury to acquit. He so in- structed the jury, but after retiring and considering the matter the jurors re- turned to court without rendering a ver- dict. They demanded the defense’s testi- mony, and this was put in yesterday. Late in the afternoon the jury retired :30 the jury came irf and declarea its inabi 'E to agree upon a unanimous verdict. They stood 10 fcr acquittal and 2 for conviction..

PLATFORM NOT LIKED. the New of Heated Debate on Labor Declaration Principles. TALK OF “SNAP JUDGMENT.” The Council Thinks It Was Slighted, and Will Preserve Its Integrity. The San Francisco Labor Council met last night at Trades Hall, 1159 Mission street, and spent the entire evening in | discussing the declaration of principles and platform adopted by the convention of labor unions held in the same hall Febrnary 14. The principles and platform aroused a disturbing spirit and then a heated debate. It was plain that the whole , and in the The Labor Council above all other things manifested a determination to preserve its autonomy and identity, and the main drift of discussion was toward that end. E. P. Burman, the secretarv, read the | declaration of principles and the platform which had come from the labor conven- tion in the form of a communication, with a request that they be adopted. The same was sent to every union in San Francisco, the object being to get an expression of I trade organizations on it. Delegates were then expected to reportat the next session of the convention regard- ing the platform and principles. Pres take part in the debate, and T. F. Burns, vice-president, occupied tue chair. The secretary delivered a speech on the , didn’t they come here and ask the San Francisco Labor Council to adopt this platform? The council is what the labor unions of San Francisco have made it. If the unions outside the council desire to see it changed why did not they affiliate with this coun- cil and have it changed? It seems to me that scap-judgment has been this council somewhere. The convention simply sent out political and economical demands. The labor unions are in fayor | of these demands and principles; but it is a different thing to know whether the San ¥rancisco Labor Council is to be abolished, and itis time to understand where we ry.

What in' San Francisco? form a new central body or an attempt to drive this council out of existence.” J.J. Ryan of the Boiler-makers’ Union d he had been a member of the labor convention, but he had not heard any talk of an organization superceding the San Francisco Labor Council. The conven- tion was held to organize a political and social platform, as the old way of strikes and boycotts had been proved to be a failure. . ¥. Burns of the Cigar-makers’ Union stated that he felt warranted in saying that if the San Francisco Labor Council would accept the platform and declaration of principles of the convention those dele- gates who met at the convention would come into the council and work harmon- iously with it for the interests of labor. Thomas Finnerty said he had been in the council since 1837, and he would not now see it made a political club. The men who stood by it as a labor organization stand by it yet. He asked why the dele- gates to the convention of two weeks ago cles of glorious material progress that were | would not unite with the Labor Council, the central body of £an Francisco, when they knew it was the central organization. He did not like to see a labor meeting where the talk was half politics, half They | labor. Walter McArthur of the Sailors’ Union said there was much in the social princi- ples set forth which ne did not fuily under- stand and for that reason he was opposed toit. He favored uniting with the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. The same ques- tion had been fully discussed by that body, and th:e result was a declaration of principles founded on the same plan as that one adopted by the convention held February 14 in this City. JIn this latter platform, however, he held, there was a great deal that was beyond the under- standing of the working people, so the Labor Council could not recommend it. ““It is beyound our grasp,” he added. “I wholly disapprove of putting this council out of existence, to be superseded by this new organization with. its political plat- form. I am honest about this, for the reason this declaration is too aeep for me. 1 favor some political action, buc I can’t satisfy myself as to what it should be. *I would most heartily indorse a move- ment for a political labor party, but I would not countenance a move to turn this council into a political labor body, for I believe it would not succeed. It would simply break up this council.” Burns moved that the Labor Council recommend to the affliated unions that two organizations, one political and one economic, be formed. He said that if it would bring harmony he would favor a dual organization, holding that the dis- cussion of politics would not disrupt the council. B To this McArthur replied he was not afraid ot discussing politics, but he wanted to know if it brought any benefits to the Cigar-makers’ Union_on pay day. Speak- ing for the Sailors’ Union he was afraid of 1t. There were men of different political parties in the union, and he wanted to know how ihey could be made a unit on political questions. They could not be made a political unit, and for that reason be was opposed to it. Thomas Finnerty asked what was the meaning of an economic and a political dual organization, and where the Labor Council came in. Byrnes explained that the economic body meant the Labor Council. McArthur announced that the council request the affiliated unious to vote upon the formation of a political central body. The amendment was carried and when the labor convention meets again it will have to consider an altogether new question coming from the old Labor Council before it can go ahead without a rival. - Tailors Organizing, The Taflors’ Union will meet next Tues- day night at 927 Mission street to further organize the members of the trade in this City. It has held but four meetingsso far, and has 125 members. At the next meei- ing it expects to get seventy-five new members, making the total membership 200, and then it will endeavor to unite all tailors in town under its banner. i The Carpenters. Carpenters’ Urion No, 22 at last night's dent McGlynn was not present to | meeting adopted the declaration of princi- ples and platform presented by the labor convention. Someof its officers expressed surprise later that the Labor Council of San Francisco refused to adopt them. Arrangéments for the picnic ot the joint unions of the City at Sunset Park, Santa Cruz Mountains, were perfected. The picnic will be held the Tast Sunday in April, and great preparations for its suc- cess are in progres NATIONAL GUARD INSPECTION. Orders From Division Headquarters to All the Troops in the State.

Propert: are up in arms over the assessments their thoroughfare and have addressed a communication to the Board of Super- visors, through their attorney, C. A. Reynolds, in which they protest in strong terms and on strong grounds against the assessments. Their letter is as follows: The undersigned property-owners of Sunny- side avenue, for themselves and ail others similarly situated, appesl from the assessment issued aga! proverty and all property facing o ide avenue by the Superin- tenc , by order of the Board of s isors, dated Jar , 1896, and from any and all assessments issued by the said Superintendent ot eets for the City and co, State of California, ) Fran t Sunnyside avenue on for the grading of grounds as {o! ing of eaid Sunnyside avenue was not done in accordance with the terms of ti tract for the snid grading. n ond—That the necessary steps required by law to be taken by the Board of Supervisors Se of the City and County of San Francisco and the Superintendent o! and for that reason the assessment is illegal and void. Third—That the said Sunnyside avenue has not been properly graded and that the said work on said street is of no benefit to the roperty-owners, by reason of the street not eing properly graded; that there are no cul- verts under said street'and that the said street will wesh away and has already to a consider- able extent washed away, and consequently will have to be rebuilt at an additional ex- pense to the property-owners. Yourth—That there was no petition on the part of the property-owners, as required by law, for the changing of tho grade on Sunny- side avenue, and that such change of grade was illegal and void. Fifth—There was no resolution of intention passed by the Board of Supervisors for the change of grade on Sunnyside avenue, that reason the change of gradeand the order for the change of grade were illegal and void, And lastly, for ourselves and for all others similarly situated, we appeal from the sid a: sessment on all legel and statutory grounds, as provided by law, and ask that our said prop- erty and_the property of all others similar! situated be reiieved from the said assessment, orany and sll assessments for the grading or changing of the grade on said Sunnyside ave- nue. The names of nearly one hundred prop- erty-owners were signed to the communi- cation. ALONG THE WATER FRONT The Pacific Coast Steamer Wil- lamette Valley Disabled at Sea. Got in From Change A Fleet of Sugar-Boats Hawaii With the of Wind. Another of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s steamers has met with’ dis- aster. The Willamette Valley, which left here a few days ago for Mexican ports, broke down when near Ensenada and will have to be towed back to San Francisco. Captain von Helms telegraphs that the low-pressure crank pin broke, disabling the engines, but that he was able to make port without assistance. The steamer Bonita, now at Los Anczeles, has been ordered to Ensenada and she will bring the Willamette Valley back to port. A new crank pin will be ready for her and in a few days she will be ready for a fresh start. The steamer Empire is in a peculiar pre- dicament. She left Portland five days ago for San Francisco and was not heard from until yesterday. She must have been caughtin a gale and run out of coal, as she put into Mendocino for fuel. She could not get a supply there, so the cap- tain went to sea again, intending to make Point Arena and take in wood to keep fire under the boilers. The sealing schooner Penelope put in here yesterday with 215 skins aboard. The captain reports having experienced very heavy weather ever since leaving San Pedro, but that seals were plentiful. His huntérs, he says, were not as good as they might be, so he put in Lere to discharge them and get others. He spoke .the schooner Kate and Ann off the Farallones with 150 skins. Quite a fleet of vessels got in from the Hawaiian Islands with sugar yesterday. The bark R. P. Rithet made the run in NEW TO-DAY.

He was for years master of the barkentine Discovery, which has re- cently been given up as lost. There was a sele of old junk at Mare Island last Thursday, and in consequence large consignments of old pails and rope are coming to San Francisco. Lorentz Foard purchased all the rope and brought it down on the schooner Colonel Baker. He will turn it all into oakum, and in this way hopes to make a fair profit out of his venture. The stuft was landed at Howard- street wharf yesterday, and was the sub- ject of comsiderable ~speculation as to where it came from. The Sailors' Union of the Pacific Coast will celebrate its eleventh anniversary on March 6 next. There will be a meeting in Coast Seamen’s Hall in the afternocn and at night there will be a torchlight proces- sion. E. Anderson will be marshal, and 2 good turnout is expected. The celebration will extend to San Pedro, S8an Diego, Port Townsend and Seattle, and the union men expect to make a big showing at all points.

This is the last day she will be open tothe nublic, so the Ethel and Marion will carry the crowds from Mission-street wharf and the Amy from Folsom street during the afternoon.
