8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1896. THE CATHOLICS ARE PATRIOTIC, Young Men's Union Cele- bration at Metropolitan Temple. LOYAL DEMONSTRATION. Relations of Church and State| Defined by Ex-Judge Sullivan, THERE EXISTS NO ANTAGONISM | Literary and Musical Exercises in Honor of America’s Independence Day. There was a patriotic gathering last night at Metropolitan Temple. It was under the auspices of the Young Men’'s Catholic Union. against any one, but we have assembled here as Catholics, Roman Catholics, American Ro- man Catholics, to celebrate ina befiting ma ner the birthday of our National independ- ence. John Adams, writine to a friend the day after signing the Declaration, said the event ought to be celebrated as the day of our deliy- erence by solemn acts of devotion to God Al- mighty, "It ought to be celebrated with pomp and parade, with shows, games, bells, bonfires and illumination from one end of the Conti- nent to the other from this day forward and forevermore. We sat at the same table with John Adams and signed the scroll that made us free. We fought side by side with our fellow-citizens and sealed with our blood the declaration of the rights of freemen, and for over one hun- dred years we have joined with our fellow- zens in celebrating the great event which has been the cause of lifting nations out of thralidom and of bringing down the blessings ot God Almighty upon us. We are sad to-night to think that here in our own City, whose streets have borne the burden of the commerce of the world; that here in our own City, whose streets our fath- ers made, as conscientious, free-born Ame: can citizens, on principle, we cannot join, as has been our wont, in the solemn celebration of this day side by side with those who pro- patriotism, while their sentiments toward our country are as far removed from its con- stitution and its free institutions as the stars of the firmament whose light barely reaches our orb. Therefore, we gather this evening on our own behalf as Americans to sing the glories of our Nation, to profess our fidelity to the constitution, to renew our allegiance to the flag that protects us and with one voice and lond aceinim to ery out with the upright people of the land, “Long live the republic!” A child must love its parents. and moreover | is bound to make manifest its love toward those who brougnt it into the world. By the same law of God the citizen is bound not only | 1o love his country, but to manifest that love, both by word and by deed. Tbis love of coun- try is patriotism. 7The deeds of daring done &t the risk of life and limb, the noble acts of self- | sacrifice which illumine the historic page of | every country, and which have been voiced in | the songs of every nation, have been called | forth by the love of country, by virtue of | patriotism. The love of country is not checked by the | love of God, itis purified and strengthened by it. Patriotism does not die by the side of re- ligion, for these two virtues go hand in hand, since they take their rise from the same virtue A \ REV. JOSEPH F. BYRNE, WHO DELIVERED THE ORATION. The absurd idea of the existence of any hostility upon the part of Irish Catholics toward the Government of the United | States was indignantly refuted by ex- Judge J. F. Sullivan in his introductory address. “I bid you all weicome to this entertain- ment,” he said. **You know the purposes | of the union 10 be of a fraternal character. 1t has no political connections, but believes in the moral, social and intellectual eleva- tion of Catholic young men, with the idea of making them good citizens of this great Republic. ‘‘Catholics in their relations to the American Republic are O K. It is true that the church has placed the people under many obligations. We render a willing religious allegeance to the Pope of Rome, but we have been among ihe first to sacrifice blood and treasure in the de- fense of our civil and religious liberty. ‘““Let us, then, be iolerant in our treat- ment of our neighbors.” After the introductory address came a contralto solo by Miss Nellie Galiagher; the reading of the Dec!aration of Indepen- dence, by Ben L. McKinley; a tenor solo by Davii Manlloyd, and the following original poem by Charies D. South: THE FATHERS. Swells loud the pran of a grotetal nation To Him who raised from out a world of ses A worid whereon He planned the matchless structure Of fair Columbia’s home of liberty ! From sands where Maine first hails day’s radiant pllgrim To seas that wash our day’s last gilded crag, Praise be to Him and praise be to the fathers ‘Whose souis still sentinel our stainless flag! To-day our great Republic’s heart rejoices; r turis the mill, nor speeds the loom to-day ! day with skies writ'o'er in glowing history Of those who struck the tyrant’s chains away; Who dared defend the cause of downtrod justice: Who dared demand the God-given rights of n: men: Who flung defiance to the raging lion And lashed him, crippled, bleeding to his den, To-day, o’er all the land In town and hamlet, The Starry banner waves in ecstacy ! To=day the cannons' mighty thund’ring volces Roil to the clonds the joy-notes of the froe. To-day we gather once again the myriads And to the same high cause allegiance swear That blazed upon the banners of the fathers And shines In souls of freemen everywhere. Be, then, the lessons of those patriot fathers Our ceaseless guide while flows the :ide of years, And llghtning swift the doom that shall be meted. When aught that Savors Lyranny appears. For not alone f10m high upon the ramparts £hall eyes discern and mark our country’s foes; "Tis not the king we fear, with hosts in armor, Come, trumpeted, to wige in deadly blows.

And when accurs'd monopoly's black fingers The people’s rights would rend and tear a way, Be his us dire a face as :onl oppression Sank under in our brave forefathers’ day. And, long as time exists and god-like actions Fire mén to emulate 1 need’s dark night: A iong as on some Cuba’s back the tyrant With biade of hate his red decree shall write; As jong as despot hand shall wield a scepter, Perverting scripture on the rights of kings; As long as men stall gToan beneath man’s thrall- dom And drink forced gall from evil's bitter springs, S0 long shall our brave fathers’ names be omens! Their deeds be aye our boast, their fame our pride; They shall be sung untll their ciornsed praises Be far-exiending as the world is wide. And in the nges of the Future’s promise, Whilst fair Columbia, goddess of the tand, Still guards our soil where smiling Peace and lenty Their jo stran; Whilst she is loveq, feared, honored and respected, North, sou' h. east, west, on land and on the sea, Her birthaay skies shall ‘scem agiow with lessons “lo sons how wrought their sires to make them and bountles pour from strand to ree. Forever still expand our Nation's glory, And never shadow dim one starry ray. Till melt these stars of union in the dawning When Time is Jost in God’s eternal day. CuARLES D. SouTH. After a soprano solo, **The Star-spanglea Banner,” by Miss Katherine M. Black, the Rev. Joseph F. Byrne delivered the follow- ing oration: Mr. President, Rev. Fathers and fellow-citi- zens: We have ussembled here this evening, not for the purpose of using harsh words, not for the purpose of giving vent to bitter feeling o, Y, NN (il i "lllf'li”: 4 % shores, both Catholic and Protestant, came because they had no civil liberty at home and ‘because they could not worship God accordini to their conscience. 1 may say, however, thai when their strong hands had torn down the mights forests and when in the sweat of their brow they had tilled the soil, and when in peace and contentment they were worshiping God according to their own hearts the mother country stretched forth her iron hand to rob them of their civil rights, and they at once felt that their religious freedom was soon to follow. Then did they arise in their might and cut off the hand that would smite them. Civiland religious liberty form the foundation upon which rests our free institutions, and when civil ana religious liberty cease to be then shall our Nation cease. I'shell not picture for you the scone that resented itself when those noble men, the athers of our country, sat with drawn iaces and with eyes weary with watching for some ray of light through the dark clouds that hung over them; that is beyond my power. But what joy must have possessed each manly heart when the vote was taken, and each felt that it could beat in freedom; that the chains of bondage were broken. Then did another nation spring into life—not a weakling, but full of power; not unarmed, but prepared for war. As Minerva did, full panoplied and with the protecting Egis forth from the brain of Jupiter spring, so did our Nation from the brain of Britain, with the Agis of liberty about her. In 1812 the Fo‘mg Nation was again forced to exert herseif, and cause her flag to be re- s pected upon the seas, ter on, in 1823, during the administration of President Monroe, the allied powers met at Verona and declared that the Cortes of Spain seta bad example in government to the na- tions of Europe. They resolved that foreign interference should bé used to reinstate Ferdi- nand and again place him upon his throne. This was accomplished by France. Then came the grand protest of President Monroe to the | allied powers, in which he declared: Still later and in our own day our ancient enemy made the endeavor 1o encroach slightly upon American soil. It filis every American heart with joy, for it strengthens hope in the future of our country, to think that the Chief Executive in this land, upheld by all the peo- ple, 1rrespective of political creed or party, de- ciared that @ such a movement on the part of England could be looked upon by this Govern- ment only as an unfriendly act. By & master stroke of diplomacy, Grover Cieveland caused the Premier of England to aflirm, what he be- fore denied, that the Monroe doctrine is a part of international law. We thank God that our country, though young, is vigorous, and that she can bid the terror of nations, the white-clad specter of tne ;e‘ts. remain within the confines of Alblon’s sles, We are & great Nation,and with God's aid we shall be greater siill. In order that we may be great we must preserve our free insti- tutions, we must preserve our civil and relig- ous liberty. We must protect the purity of the ballot. We must see to it that those who vote are sufficiently educated to know how to use the franchise, and not to be dupes of un- principled men. We must see to it that those who vote have hearts trained as well as minds, s0 that they understand that the man who sells his vote seils his country; that the man who uses office for his own aggrandizement, or for the benefit of, or the enriching of his friends, commits a crime against his country and a sin against his God. Nor must we lose sight of our traditions. Our doors have ever been open to the oppressed o ail nations. If the oppressed of the nations are fitted for citizen- ship, if they come here to work and to stay, we bid them enter and remain. We desire no parasites that would feed upon our prosperity. We should be more solicitous about driving from our midst those who have iived long among us, I may say, who have lived long upou us, without becoming citizens, than we should be about closing our doors to those who come in search of freedom. The day that we cease to be the home of the free, that day shall we cease to be the home of the brave, for itis our freedom that has made us brave. An American citizen! what a wealth of meaning in the term! 1t stands for liberty. It stands for freedom. It is respected abroad. Itisa power at home. [t means that every man in the land is a king, with thé ballot for his scepter. It means that every woman in the land isa queen, and that the home adorned with the jewels'of free-born sons and daugh- | ters is the throne, whereon both sit in power and majesty. The Apostie Paul was proud of his title. “I am a Roman citizen,” he e. claimed, nor dared the Jew or Roman lay un- hallowed hands upon him. But if the Apostle Paul thought 1t well to be a Roman citizen, how proud should be every man who is able to claim American citizenship? How prond should be every apostle who preaches ‘‘The freedom wherewith Christ hath made us free,” when able to exclaim, “I am an American citi- zenr” Long may America live. Long may she con- tinue to do the work that God has appointed for her. Long may Columbia stand in the Benjamin L. McKinley, a Relative of the Presidential Nomince, Will Read the Declaration of Independence at the Celebration in Metropolitan Temple. of justice. The true patriot’s bllllWI: in every land has ever been, “For God and my country’s cause.”” The family is the unit of society. Chilaren are born into the world, and the parents rule over and govern them by a aivine right. The mother must nourish and train the little ones. The father, according to the natural law, must provide for them. The necessities of the hu- man family are o many and so varied that men must exchange with one sanother the | fruits of their toil that their wants may be | supplied, To accomplish this, rights must be Enlerved, order must be maintained, and angers must be warded off. From this arises | the social condition which is the nataral con- dition of man. Families unite into a whole, and delegate to others the power which they themselves alone cannot exercise. Hence we have the State which takes it’s authority from the same source as that of the family—God— for all authority is from God. Therefore God directs States, and, as individuals, States play their part in carrying out the plans of the rovidence of God. Therefore, the man who loves his God loves his country well, and the man who loves his country to the end but performs his duty to his God. Therefore the matto—*God and Our Fetherland.” Therefore, the adherence of m2n to the teachings of him whose doctrine isthe foundation of our modern civilization—"Render to God the things that are God’s, and to Cmsar the things that are Ceesar's.”” The State is composed of families, which have been brought together in order thatall may share In the prosperity and protection which union brings. What marks the confines of a country and unites its people {n & har- monious whole? Sometimes it is & mighty river. Sometimes it is a mouniain chain. Sometimes it is great body of water. Some- times it is the persuasive power of powder. What united the thirteen Colonies? What anites and keeps united our many States and Territories and blends them all into one grand | country, despite the mighty rivers that flow through their midst; despite the great moun. tain ehain, which on another continent would mark the limits of petty kingdoms; despite the angry confliet, which once threatened to dismem! them? Freedom. Civil and re- ligious freedom—this is the magic spell which hoids together the soveyeign States and blends them all into one grand and mighty Nation.

The Alleged Child-Beater Allowead to Go Free by Judge Wallace. John St. Clair, who was convicted in the Police Court on a charge of crueity to his child and sentenced to six months in jail, was before Judge Wallace yesterday |* on an appeal. Assistant District Attorney Black ap- peared and said that he thought the pun- | ishment fixed by the lower court was excessive and that he would be satisfied with the infliction of a fine. He thought $60 was about the amount St. Clair should ay. pJudze Wallace looked the papers in the case through carefully and said that ii a fine was all that the prisoner deserved, a nominal one would do, and so fixed the amount at $1, which St. Clair paid. Ex-Deputy Sheriff Frank Ramaciotti was arraigned on a charge of forgery. The amount of money involved was $38. He pleaded not guilty and his case was set for trial. —————— Death of Mrs. H. M. Peffer. Mrs. Harriet M. Peffer, an old resident of this City, died Tuesday, June 21, at the age of | 74 years. She arrived in the early fifties. She came on the steamer Winfield Scott, which was wrecked. She was the first wife of Senator Peffer of Marysville. She resided a good many years in Virginia and Marysville, but iater made her home in this City. She leaves one daughter, Mrs. W. C. Morgan, and has two brothers, Henry B. Crandali of West Oakland and Bloomfield P. Crandall of Enterprise, Butte County, Californis. She leaves a host of friends, who mourn_her loss. She was a native of | Maryland. Her last hours were peaceful. She | was'a sufferer from asthma for thirty-five | years. The American Brig John D. Spreckels, Drawn From a Photograph Taken in Mid. Ocean. She Is the Fastest of 411 the Sugar Fleet and Holds the Record for Fast Voyages Between Here and Honolulu. waiian Islanas, and has time and again beaten the fastest vessels in the sugar fleet. During the last week or ten days quite s number of suzar vessels have got in, but all made remarkably long passages. Some were out as many as thirty-five days, while others were twenty-eight and thirty days. The Spreckels is now out seven days from Mahukona, and the betting is that the brig will make the run inside of a fortnight. She sails like a witch in all kinds of weather, and no one knows better than Captain E. M, Christiansen how to get the last ounce out of her. The Spreckels is one of the prettiest brigs afloat and her master is justly proud of her. Several trips ago he determined Lo get a snap shot of his vessel under sail. Christiansen is an amateur photographer and loses no chance to get 8 good picture. He accordingly ordered a boat lowered, and, with his camera under his arm, got into it. He then dropped astern, and after many an attempt, finally secured & good negative. The brig was taken from astern and it makes a very pretty picture. There was a general exodus along the water front yesterday. The ferry steam- ers were crowded on every trip during the afternoon, and there was not a yacht but was in commission. Commodore Bruce went to Vallejo in the Rover, while Harry Goodall and a party of friends went up the Sacramento in the Ripple. The City of Puebla sailed for Puget Sound with the members of the Golden Gate Commandery aboard and a large number of other pas- sengers. Among the latter was Colonel J. G. Tobin, deputy collector of the port, who is making an annual tour of inspec- tion. He was accompanied by his wife. The members of the commandery are going to Alaska, and Captain Carroll of the Queen will do his best to show them all the sights. The monitor Comanche was in gala attire yesierday. Nearly all the members of the Naval Battalion went out to her, and for ti:e next few days she will be their home. There will be general practice drill every day. and toward the end of the week the vessel may go fora cruise around the bay. The Charleston will be open for m.slm: n to-day and the launch Amy will carry visitors to and from both her and the Comanche, The exodus from the City will continue 10-night. The members of the Third Bat- talion, First Infantry, N. G. C., will leave for Stockton on the steamer T. C. Walker. They are going 300 strong and_expect to make a fine showing in the capital city of San Joaquin Count; The Hull (Eng.)fi WS ing marvelous story A Japanese diver, who fell overboard at Thursday Island, had a maryelous escape.

A PROMISING TWC-YEAR-OLD. Owybee Had a Gift of His Race. Ruby M Was a Co- nundrum. The elements have certainly been most unkind in their dealings with the Pacific Coast Trotting-horse Breeders' Associa- | tion, for with one exception the weather at Ingleside track has been more suitable for snowballing than for light harness horse sport. Yesterday buge fog banks rolled in from the ocean, part of the time obscuring a view of the horses, the wind was chilling and the drivers looked as toough buffalo coats would be preferable to their many colored silken jackets. But these serious setbacks were in a great way offset by the character of the sport, which was about the best of the meeting. Better racing than that seen in the 2:40 trot would be bard to find, five heats being necessary to decide it. In the fourth heat Jeffe and Faro Bank passed the wire in such' perfect elignment that the judges were unable to separate them and decided it adead heat, although it looked as though the former earned the decision. Two bookmakers and an auction-pool stand handled the coin. The wagering on the 2:40 trot was especially heavy. The first event of the day called was the trotting stake for two-yeur-olds, best two in three heats. It brought out in Owyhee, a slashing big bay b{ Charles Derby, a most promising colt. In the first pools sold he brought $10 against $6 for the field, and the long-striding youngster placed two straight beats to bis credit without even being extended in 2:343{—2:33. High- land Lad, another very growthy colt from the southern country, was second in each of the heats trotted. The s:ven starters in the 2:40 class for trotters were next called. Before the first hlhll the field u;mth;:gilahra‘; $15, Je‘fln, who was strongly tipped, ging $12, and Athovis §7. Silver Queen drew tie pole and led Jeffe until weli on toward the wire when she broke, and the Deat went to Jeffe by a length in 2:20)4. The betting was now Jetfe $10, the feld 3$5. The favorite went out in the next heat and looked to have it at her mercy, when fifty yards from the wire she went in the air, and Clay 8 who was at his sulky took the heat easily in 2:213{. After this things were slightly mixed. Clay 8 sold choice at $10. with Jeffe going for $6 and the field hen McNair sent them away tosa Shipank Upited States representative, will demand his rights. Fasslor's Fine Cows. Three of Joseph Fassler's fine cows got pretty start for the third heat, Ciay S showed the way to the backstretch, where be broke, losinz several lengths. Faro Bank, who was unsteady in the first heat, now gained the pole and flattered his friends by leading to the homestreteh, where he found 'some egg shells. Jeffe now had first position and in a very ex- citing fimish Lafferty landed his horse winner of the heat, a head before Clay 8 in 2:2337. o2 Jeife again sold favorite after this im- ressive win at $10, with Clay S going for 7 and the field $3. This next heat, the fourth, resulted in a dead heat between Jeffe and Faro Bank, which two had been the contending horses througlout. Time, 2:23. Faro Bank now sold even up against the field, but Jeffe simply paraded away with the field, passing the stand two lengths in advance of Clay 8 in 2:25. Faro Bank broke just after turning the bend for home. The trotters out of the way, the special 2:12 pace, with Javeln, Plunkett and Ruby M, was next considered. Each heat in this event was considered a race. Javelin was favorite at 4 to 2 in the books for the first heat, but Ruby M, driven by “Jimmy’’ Sullivan, made a show of him, winning in a jog in 2:16}4. Receding from favoritism in the books, Ruby did not have any too much speed in the heat fol- lowing and finished a poor third. Javelin, the favorite, passed the wire three lengths in advance of Piunkett in 9:201{. Javelin was unsteady in the third heat, and Ruby M, who was equal favorite i the books with him, won with something to spare from Plunkett in 2:21 d SUMMARY. o lroming stake, for two-yearolds; $260 added; best 2 in .

Seven Hundr¢d and Forty.Five Deaths Reported to the Coromer During the Year. Coroner Hawkins has haa a busy twelve months. The fiscal year ending June 30 shows 745 deaths reported at the Morgue, or 109 more than the previous year. Of the 745 deaths coming under the eye of the Coroner 146 committed self murder. Housewives head the list with ten, car- penters and laborers combined footing up the same. The occupations of the unfor- tunate 146 are as follows: Agents 2, architects 1, artists 2. bar. tenders 1, barbers 2, bed-makers 1, brew- ers 1, bricklayers 1, blacksmiths 1, butch- ers 2, bookkeepers 4, carpenters 5, cigar- makers 1, cigar-dealers 2, clerks 3, cooks 2, chemists 1, civil engineers 3, compositors 1, concrete workers 1, domestics 3, doctors 1, dressmakers 1, dishwashers 2, deck- hands 1, dentists 1, engineers 2, fisher- men 1, farmers 2, frog-catchers 1, fire- men 1, gardeners 1, glovemakers 1, grocers 2, housewives 10, harness-makers 1, jewelers 3, journalists 1, laborers 5, laun- drymen 3, lumber inspectors 1, millers 1, merchants 1, milkmen 1, milkers 1, miners 3, musicians 1, marine engineers 1, milli- mners 2, machinists 1, no occupation 12, newsdealers 1, plumbers 1, physicians 2, vainters 1, police officers 1, pnotographers 2, retired 2, saloon-keepers 4, solicitors 1, soldiers 2, seamen 4, servants 1, stock- brokers 1, sailmakers 1, ship-calkers 1, tailors 4, teamsters 3, upholsterers 1, un- dertakers 1, waiters 4, window-cleaners 1, wrapping clerks 1, winegrowers 2. The people who committed suicide dur- ing the twelve months just ended hail from all parts of the globe. Continental Europe furnished the biggest percentage, Germany leading the list with thirty-three. The nativity of the snicides is as follows: Alsace and Lorraine 1, Austria 2, Canada 5, China 2, Denmark 5, England 7, France 6, Finland 1, Germany 33, Holland 1, Ire- 1and 6, Italy 4, Japan 1, Maurilius Island 1, Norway 4, Poland 1, Russia 1, Sweden 5, Switzerland 1, United States 51, unascer- tained 8. To . Inability to fizht successfully the battle for bread caused 108 despondent mortals to seek rest in the grave. Eleven com- mitted suicide because they did not know any better, while two found home life too great a burden to bear. The complete list of ‘‘causes’ reads: Domestic troubles 2, despondency 108, intemperance 2, insanity 11, jealousy 5, sickness 6, unknown 12; total 146, Condition, color, religion and sex cut quite a_figure in the suicides of the past {enr. Sixty-four married people found ife burdensome, the number of single per- sons seeking surcease from sorrow being seven less than this. Thecomplete record 1s as follows: Race—White, 142; yellow, 3; black, 1. Sex—Male, 125; Female, 21. Condition — Married, 64; single, 57; widows, 4; widowers, 11; unknown, 10, Religion—Christian, 188; Jewish, 5; Pa- gan, 3. No report has yet been made of the murders.
