Resort to the Ballot Advised as a Means of Reforming Polit. ical Condit ons. Preceding the address of the day at the Good Citizenship meeting yesterday atter- noon at Metropolitan Temple T. J. Weaver recited a poem entitled “The Trembling of the Nations,” describing the conditions in preparation of war existing through- out Europe. Chauncey Parke was the speaker and | discoursed on ‘“‘Antagonisms of Civil tion.” His address was in part as follows: It is peculiar to human intelligence to be ngthe why and wherefore of the known nk It is tne indication of the su- intelligence above all others. cease asking why until aan knowledge is ac- Thought to-day is opposing thought 1 we are now asking why this is so. Antago- nism in life is & fact end hes always been a Itis a principle of growth, but we ask should this be so. This antagonism is ive, but this destruction is only the of better future things. Antagonisms sre complex as civilization advances. itagonisms of to-day are largely of a tical, ocial and religous character. What antagonisms have been engendered by re- s inquiry? More than from any other Simply because man hes always at- 1 1o inquire regarding tne exact status o on called to theirattention. This brings me to speak of the antagonisms of patriotisms—a much-used word, & much- beloved word. Do we ever think 'what the temptec patriots of the past have suffered to give us t we enj ay? The amount of patriot- : shell have to-dey depends on the ur antagonism of sggressiveness. Patriotism has been dorment, but it is now being aroused by the Americen Protective As- sociation. It has been sioused, however, I am glad 1o say, and is now doing its work. 1 cannot help but here refer to what I would call spurious patriotism: I mean priesteraft patriotism. We have evidence of this kind of patriotism everywhere, Mr. Parke then referred in detail to the course af the Roman church, which he said was an exemplification of this spuri- ous or priestcraft patriotism. Continuing, he said: Who is responsible for political Romanism 1n America? 1think thatthe agents of political Romanism have simply done what you and I would have done. They took advantage of their opportunities. And who gave them these opportunities? You and 1. We have been slumbering too long. But we are not all 10 be blamed for this, for many of us have been 100 busy struggling to gain a livelihood to pay attention to the chicanery of the Roman emissaries, but we have the franchise, and it is this we ‘should use to gain a victory over political Romanism. Who is responsible for po! and pauper immigration? Mi are spent in these causes every = are responsible for their existence, for we do not sufliciently antagonize them. Antagonism’ is the lesson of the hour for every patriot in the country. We want not ical corruption ons of dollars only” antagonism of ideas and words, but of ceds. The antagonism we need is to be ac- complished through votes and it should begin &1 the primaries, where we should aniagonize bad men. If we have bad men in offiee we will have bad laws and bad government. § Toe lesson for us to learn is to antagonize and keep on aniagonizing. At the conclusion of the address Chair- man Quitzow called attention to the pri- mary of the 15th and exborted all the voters present to attend those primaries and do their duty to the country. He also announced that heresfter the small fee charged for admission to the meetings would not be made. He stated that the elections were coming on _and that it was desired to have the hall filled at every meeting. . MISTAKES OF THEOLOGY. Dr. York Says Caballsm and All Such High Pretenslons to Rare Knowledge Are Frauds. Dr. York entertained a large and en- thusiastic audience at Scottish Hall last evening on the subject of “Mistakes of Theology.” After some excellent music and songs by Mr. Austin and Mrs. Tully the speaker said: Mistakes are the common inheritance of mankind and as a prelude to our lecture His brother Raiph was al- | The men | 2 | Liberty ation of | “‘the | permit me to note some current mistakes of the past week, which, if not harmful, tend to add a little spice to our every-day life as well as to show how easy itis to be { mistaken. We refer to the lecture { by he pretentious Dr. Imber on | Cabalism at Dr. Voorsanger’s temple on | last Tuesday evening. We forgive Rabbi | Voorsanger for the infliction of this so- cailed mystic lore which proved to be too misty for our comprehension, and seemed to be the vaporings of a disordered mind, | which is no _doubt the source of most of | the theological jimjams which have di- verted the human mind from the true | sources of knowledgeand promoted super- stition in the name of mystic lore and abalism. And all such high preten- | sions to rare knowledge should be called a frand. We think and our observation and | experience teaches us that conversion from | one religion to another religion is a harm- ful mistake, and has little todoin making | men more moral and just, and at the most, tends to bigotry and bad blood, in all | lands. The spirit of reIiginuinopnznndlsm | is apparent in the reply of Rev. Goodwin to Rabbi Voorsanger in THE CALL of Wednesday last, in which he said: “When |aJew comes to know that the Jewish | religion is merely for the Jewish race, | while Christianity is for all races, he is at to come out of his shell into a new and larger world.,” Whata burlesaue on | buman~reason is this, that the Jewish | religion was only an experiment, for the special benefit of the Jews, while there | was no provision made for the millions | outside the Jewish camp. | If it be true, as he affirms, that God founded the Jewish reiigion for the salva- tion of the Jews alone, isit not presumptu- | ous and a great mistake to say that God's | method is insufficient to that end, and propose to save them by a different scheme of later date, after millions have died in the old faith? Cannot the Jew with | greater consistency establish Jewish mis- sions to convert Christians? | Tomy mind if Judaism was ever true, | and the work of God, it is true to-day, and the Ten Commands need no revision. _ Theology, like the woman’s crazy quilt, | is made up of various patehes, and little mistakes, which have grown out from a { few great and foundation mistakes upon which the entire fabric of theology rests, and which may be named in the following | order: A personal deity, the Mosaic crea- tion, the fall of man and the vicarious atonement. These are the four corner- | stone mistakes from which the creeds have grown. And through the ignorance and fear incident to the childhood of our race and by the perversion of scriptures and work of theologians and priests, the world has been filled with contention | about that which in the nature of things | cannot be proven, and rest alone upon | faith, the basis of all religious mistakes. | Ana it is a remarkable fact that our chief | progress to-day consists in unlearning i what we were taught in our childhood. CONFERENCE OF SAINTS. Semi-Annual Assembly of Mormons at Pythian Castle. . The San Francisco, Bacramento and Stockton branches of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints held a semi- annual conference at Pythian Castle yes- terday. The morning session was devoted to a report by Samuel Walker, president of the Sacramento branch, in which he stated that the work at the capital city was ina prosperous condition, a quartet, “Ye Sim- ple Souls Who Stray,” by Elder and Miss ‘Willard Scowcroit, Elder Henry S. Tanner and Elder J. B. Shepherd; addresses by Elders Stoff and Hawkins, recent additions to the missionary force from Utah; an ad- dress on “The Restoration of the Gospel of the Latter Days,” by Elder Scowcroft; the famous Mormon hymn, 0, My Father,’” and an address, “Elementary Principles of the Gospel,” by Elder Christensen. In the afternoon Bishop Joseph S. Tan- ner of Payson, Utah, a visitor to the Cali- fornia mission, gave his experience and ministry among the Saints. The quartet rendered “‘Consider the Lilies.” This was followed by brief addresses by Eider Woodland of S8an Bernardino and Eider B. W. Henderson. Elder J. B. Shepherd gave the solo “Free as a Bird.” Elder Henry Petersen dwelt upon the contradic- toriness of the teachings of the numerous churches. | _ Elder Scowcroft sane * Calvary” and | Mrs. Scowcroft “Evening of Prayer,” the | solos of the evening service. Elder Shep- | herd, president of the Stockton branch, reached on “The Relation of Man to eity.” The conference closed with a sermon by | Elder H. S. Tanner, at the conclusion of which he reviewed the work in California since the last conference, the establish- ment of branches at Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego and Stockton, be- sides those already in existence in San Francisco and Sacramento. He called at- | tention to the fact that the congregations of the castle had increased nearly tenfold within six months, and that there had been an encouraging number of additions :Cg the membership of the church in this ity. The ministers in attendance were Henry S. Tanner, president of the California Mis- sion; J. R. Shephberd, president of the Nortnern California Conference; Elder Willard Scowcroft, W. W. Woodland, D. W. Henderson, P. E. Auderson, Joseph Christensen, Henry Petersen, Joseph Stott and W. E. Hawkius. —_————— Nevada’s Late Governor.

A Number of Auction Sales Announced for This Month—The Week's Record. Last week was a comparatively quiet one in real-estate circles. A general in- crease in the number of inquiries is re- ported, but the number of sales being made is limited. A number of auction sales are announced for this month, two of which will take place this week. All auctions held thus far this spring have been in the main successful, and for this reason brokers find encouragement in ar- ranging for others to take place in the near future. The building outlook is encouraging as compared with the past two years. Nearly every week plans are given out for the erection of a business block or two, the last notable one being that of the Spring Valley Water Company to be erected at the corner of Geary and Stockton streets at a cost of $300,000. At this rate the total amount of building for the year should reach very respectable proportions. The cost for building is perhaps at the lowest point known for years, and where tenants can be secured for new structures it is found profitable to cover desirable build- ing sites with new and more sightly im- provements. REVIEW OF THE RECORDS. There were eighty-three mortgages re- corded last week, aggregating $226,210. The principal ones were: By Henry Root, for one year at 615 per cent, £14,000 on_property on the southwest side of Spear street, 137:6 southeast of Market, 45:10x 3 by the Columbus Savings and Loan So- for five years at 7 per cent, §27,500 on property st the northeast corner of Dupont and Vallejo streets, 83:6x150:3; by the Ger- man Savings and Loan Society, for one year at 7 per cent, $11,000 on property at the north- east corner of Page and Buchanan streets, 129x65, and by the Hibernia Savings and Loan Society, for one year at 6l per cent, $15,000 on_property on the southeast line of Mission street, 205 fcet northeast of Eighth, 50x80. fifty-seven, aggregating The larzest ones recorded were: By the Hibernia Savings and Loan Society, $14,000, to J.

SUNDAY AT EL CAMPD, Opening of the Pleasure Grounds i on the Shore of San ! Pablo Bay. There Was an Immense Crowd That Sought Enjoyment in the Shady Dells and Vercure-Clad Hills. Yesterday was the opening day of El Campo by the sea, and as the day was bright, the atmosphere clear and bracing, | thousands visited the beautiful spot in Marin County, which during the winter months had been closed. The big ferry-boat Ukiah made four trips during the day,and on gll but the last | trip she was crowded with pleasure-seek- ers. It was estimated that she carried over on those three trips more than five thou- sand people. On the first boat there werea great many citizens with their families, who went over to enjoy the morning | breeze and early sunshine, and then to | lunch under the wide-spreading branches of the many trees that abound there. There were many who climbed the hilltops to obtain a view of the magnificent pano- rama that is presented from these eleva- tions. Others found gleasure in wandering in the dells in searc den-hair fern that abounds there, or on the plateaus, gathering the golden poppy, | the "bluebells, the marguerite and other 1c1mmin§ % | spring offering to the visitors. | | The pleasure-ground at this time is at its best, and the fragrance of the blossoms is a welcome change from that of the City. | Blum’s band furnished music in the big | pavilion for those who wished to dance, | and those who indulged in this pastime | were not few. Then there wer2 many who found amusement and healthfal exercise in rowing on San Pablo Bay, and there were those who carried away forcible re- minders of this in blistered hands. During the afternoon quite a number of parties, with guitar, banjo and mandolin, sought secluded spots and found enjoy- | ment in singing the good songs of old and | many of the new ones, the latest vocal These concerts were listened to by many | of the picnickers, who were attracted to the | sites by the music. The boat that left Ef Campo at 3 o’clock | the afternoon brought back a great | number of the families that did not want to join in the crush that there was on the | last boat. There was a strong force of police on the | grounds to preserve order. Their presence had a salutary affect on some of the late | comers, who ‘manifested a desire to run | the dancing platform. REV.

Gooawin, pastor of the California - street Methodist Episcopal Church, did not occupy his pulpit yester- day.

RESULT OF POWDER TESTS, The Battle-Ship Oregon May Ee Com. manded by Commodore Allen V. Read. Proposals for filling in the marsh of the Presidio, which lies between the road leading from the post tothe wharf and the eastern boundary of the reservation, | will be invited this week by Colonel A, 8. | Kimball, the chief quartermaster of the department. Contractors will have the option of doing the work by pumping sand from the bay, carrying sand from the dunes back of the life-saving station, or moving the material from the clay bank immediately adjoining the fill. An allowance of $25,000 for this work has been authorized by the department at Washington. Last week Colonel Kim- ball was advised by the Quartermaster- General that the expenditure of $2000 was authorized to extend and perfect the | sewer system 4t Benicia barracks. This allowance will enable sewer connection to be made with the barracks and officers’ quarters. General James W. Forsyth, the depart- ment commander, accompanied by his aid, First Lieutenant J. Franklin Bell, left the City for San Diego barracks last Thursday for the purpose of making the | annual 1nspection of that post. 5 First Lieutenant J. F.
