May your sojourn be ever pleasantly remembered, and while here —yea, ever after—may nothing mar the fullest scope of your enjoyment and may a kindly Providence ever decree your course & happy one. This address was responded to by Grand President Judge W. M. Conley. He spoke in a pleasing vein as follows: Citizens of San Jose, Ladies and Gentle- men: On behalf of the order of the Na- tive Sons of the Golden West I accept your generous greeting and kind expres- sions of your unbounded hospitality. We have been guests before on more than one occasion, and 1 can now assure you that members of our order hailed with satisfaction and delight that the city of San Jose was to entertain the Native Sons of the Golden West on this forty- eighth anniversary of the admission of California into the Union as a State. We fully realize and appreciate the great la- bor necessary to he done in order to re- ceive so many visitors. The committees having in charge the ¢onduct and man- agement of this great affair are to be congratulated upon the able and satisfao- tory manner in which they have dis- charged their trust. Let it be said to the credit of the beautiful city of San Jose that there has not been left anything un- done to make this a memorable day in the history of the order. ‘We are pleased with our reception and entertainment, and when we shall go to our homes when the festivities are ended each and every one of us can truthfully say that our time has been well and profit- ably spent. It is now nearly a quarter of a century since that gallant band of young men in San Francisco, inspired by patriotism and the loftiest purposes, conceived the idea Palo Alto | and San Jose | This | of bringing all the goung men in this State, natives of California, into grand fraternity based upon the cardinal rinciples of friendship, loyalty and char- ty. The result of this idea is now a_mat- ter of history. The order of the Native | Sons of the ‘Golden West has advanced | step by step until its membership now { reaches 10.000—10,000 young men in every walk of life; united for mutual benefit, tor soclal, moral and intellectual improve- ment; united to perpetuate the memories of that noble band of pioneers who left their homes and founded this great com- monwealth, our beloved California; unit- ed in allegiance to this glorious Govern- ment and its splendid Institutions; united in love and devotion to that grand flag which in the past has sailed into every foreign port as the one great emblem of liberty; and was borne amid triumph and exultation to every quarter of what now composes this great nation, and which in time of battle has often converted im- pending disaster and defeat into the most glorious victories, and which now floats over the walls of Santiago on the east and Manila on the west, defeating cruelty and oppression in this age of enlighten- ment. My friends, we have every reason to re- joice for the wonderful progress the or- der has made. We look upon its progress with mingled pride and satisfaction, and we look forward to its future with un- | bounded faith and confidence. It protects young men of this State and stimulates industry and_ambition. It has relieved | the sick and distressed and comforted the sad and afflicted. Finally, it has been one of the great means of destroving all class distinctions. Its sole standard for the measurement of man is his acts and | his conduct, not his birth and surround- ings. In short, the order of the Native Sons f th West stands to alway tendency to elevate and ennoble young men of this State. In concluston, I again desire to thank you on behalf of the Native Sons of the Golden West for the generous reception that has been accorded us. The Fifth Regiment band played the selection “'49.” d Marshal W. A. Gaston intro- Grand Orator F. L. Coombs, who delivered the following oration: It affords me pleasure to address the people of the Garden City upon a theme which in itself is calculated to inspire them with a greater appreciation of their own surroundings. California is a garden spot, and like the capitals of the East, whose ancient walls were hung with tropical plants, so it is with California, from where the ocean plays its solemn dirge upon the rocky shore to wher ver-starred Nevada draws her wéstern line upon the snow: she is adorned with creeping vines, with fragrant roses, with lichens upon hoary rocks, and mosses upon running streams. That which might be the voiceless air is made musical with the song of birds, the ripple of brook! the nodding of forest plumes, the ru ling of scattered leaves, light as the pa ing vear, the mingling of mirth and df in the sad epitome of dead and living na ture. To call any spot a garden city Is to find an in a garden of paradise. For many years the people of this State had an idea that the order of Native Sons was formed for the purpose of levity and merry-making among its members, but I think it has outgrown the prejudices founded on that misconception, for, as we have met in different parts of the State, deliberating upon questions of public mo- ment, advancing the interests of the commonwealth, keeping alive the dearest traditions and the fondest memories, people have come to realize that the order is built upon patriotism, and is to-day proselyting among the young men of this State those principles and Ereco[\lsl cal- culated to inspire them with the simple love of country. On the 4th day of July, 1875, a num- ber of native Californians marched in the parade in San Francisco under the banner that had stood for liberty since the dawn of the republic. The winds that one | 1 | swept through mountain gorges and into | the peautiful valleys. Not with banner and shield, not with helmet and plume, like knights of old, but with their own good hands building cities, cultivatin fields, the giants of a new progress an a new civilization. They made it possible to link California in the golden fate of union. With that band came the heroes who raised the bear flag, emblem of fraternity, which heralded the dawn of a new lignt over the ashes of a once im- perial power. From that time there be- gan the building of Anglo-Saxon institu- tions; life and_ government be- came inspired by their genius; cities ~were made permanent on sands, rallroads spanned the rivers and girdled the mountains; churches and school houses were built; and in a few short years California became the empo- rium from which could be drawn the gold that filled the channels of trade, the fruit and grain which paid commerce her great- est tribute; while above all shone a celes- tial light around men of letters, orators, poets and statesmen. From the loins of that race came the flinty sons of war, for wherever the American flag has been lanted there have been the sons of Cali- ornia to uphold it. Wherever the Olym- pla and Oregon have been fighting for a new glory and a new power, there have been California boys, undaunted amid the signals and fires of war. They have been heroes in one midnight battle, in the charge, before the trenches, under the forts of Morro, and from the early gray of morning till summer’s dewy eve they have been.steadfast under the fires that have lighted the world to a new humanity, and the henighted children of occidental and orfental isles to a new liberty. Is it not oper, then, that the Californian should take pride in his native land, and seek to preserve the memory of its golden era while vet he can, and while yet the last symbols of that old life are not broken and covered with the dust of the dead and silent years? The monuments of Egypt have outlived the vanity of her kings: they have seen the dazzling light of that power whicn erecied them grow dim and flicker in the grey mist of a far off time. Let us, then, preserve the history of a noble people, their exalted trials and sacrifices, for they present examples greater than monuments pyramids of ancient time. They tell peaple should live and build, and oy the Jives and the building of a people shall a government endure. Yet while we seck to keep alive the glories of the past, let us stop for 2 moment to reflect upon our attitude to the future. The past Js spread before us and can be read like a seroll; we can see across the bridge of timeé; we can piers, its arches, and under- neath the depths of the rushing waters. Before us is the future, the great, the un- Yet one thing is clear as clear as the light that shin:s r flowers, it is the new destiny which must awaken the American people; stiny which will command all their E , their strength and their will. They have aiready overstepped the tra- ditional bounds within which the great s* sought to hem them. They have reached and are reaching out over illhn- itable seas, bringlng new peoples and new lands under their control, and with them new wealth, new commerce, and the glo- ries of an almost distinct and separate world. The “survival of the fittest” has been the law of progress since th2 world The American people have become t! ers of its lance and shield; tribes have fled through the wilderness, scepters have fallen and the banners of a n erty have been planted upon the wa stles once dedicated to oppreasion. Shall e stop and rest forever by the waters that rush in_and out and along by the western gate? Can we stop and slumber by the changing tides as they hear men in and out, across the world and back §é on summe cope withal? Tt is the destinv of war, which perhaps never before presented sc many propositions for adfustmaat, invols- ing such a contrariety of social problems, the destiny of so many distinct races, and the fate of so many fruitful lands, sepa- rated as they are by so many leagues of 99600000000 00000000000000000000000606¢ ® D) ® : ADMISSION DAY OBSERVED ® BY: THE @ ® ® Z SAN JOSE, Sept. 9.—During the reception tendered & the visiting delegates to the local parlors at the Court- 4 house this afternoon the following cablegram was read 2 and received with an outburst of applause: @ 2 “Native Sons, San Jose, Cal 4 in Manila send greetings. @ 2POPPOOPPPV00000 0000000000000 00060609 BOYS AT MANILA “ MANILA, Sept. 9. Brothers celebrating COMMITTEE.” LR R R R R RO R R RO R R R R RIS swept through the rocky hinges of the Golden Gate played upon its many stars; the spirit of pati.otism triumphed over the sordid concerns of life, and in keep- ing with the cxalted purpose of the hour, they organized the order of Natlve Sons of the Golden West to more effectually preserve the blessings of home and coun- try. That little band has increased to 10,000 in number, and from the rocky heights o’erarching the murmuring sea to the pyramids that rear their snowy walls upon the East, they spread the fame of the pioneer, and seek to preserve the memories of the olden time and the golden prime of Califoraia. All those who Join the order become more imbued with the love of country and the traditions as- soclated with its early life and history. Its purpose is to make better men by teaching the first duties of the citizen, and in that so shaping the destiny of the country that it may follow in the foot- prints of the fathers of the republic, with their justice, their humanity, their con- stitution and thelr laws. Such {s the or- der of Native Sons of the Golden West. Tt is founded on loyalty, and every other thought, every other concern, every other ambition sinks to rest before that mighty impulse. Under that light it has fought its past battles, and under that light it seeks to be guided in the future. About fifty years 0 there lived in the Middle, Bouthern Eastern States a class of young men fretting under the iron hand of tyrant custom, eager to preak the fetters that had held their fathers and was fast bindlng them to a routine of life which cramped the human soul. Many of them stood upon the shores of the Atlantic looking out upon the waste of sea; they saw the ships laden with the commerce of a mighty ocean; there was the old life upon the wave, the old hope and the old ambition. The; turned their backs upon the sea to loof upon the west with its thousand dangers. ‘et there was about it the invisible, and out of that Inscrutable appeal to pene- trate the labyrinths of the unknown, they bade home and friends adieu for a newer and o harder fate. Thelr wanderings have been the theme of story and song; trial and vicissitude were their . familiars. “O'er bog or steep, through stralt, rough, dense or rare,” they made or crept or climbed their way, and by the force of a courage which is always the greater part of genius, they were enabled at last to stand upon the western slopes of the Slerr s and to look out upon the illimit- able prospect of a golden world. Forests fell as at the bids of magic hands in, paths were made, Simcutties bruahed aside, and like an irresistible force they ‘Gfll(—&!n ‘Dmne& THE SMALL oY was i~ AN TN 00 THE MARSHAL : ACCLSED THE QIRLY OF TRE 1 mvw, CoLD EEET OR.CORNS .

While many of these questions can; be disposed of only according to the cir- cumstances which may surround them, yet it is true that every result must be carried out along the line of lofty senti- ment which inspired the war and has characterized its conduct from the begin- ning until now. This spirit is so antagon- istic to some of the early traditions of our country as to occupy, to them, an opposite relation in the future, and a war of ex- termination will be waged between them. 1If, to-day, this matter had resolved it- self into a political question, I would not advert to it; but so far it stands out above the unseemly conflict of parties, and it is not only the right, but the duty of the citizen to give free and public converse to it. I claim my share of reverence and veneration for the fathers of the constitu- tion, the echo of whose voices still rings through hall and upon battlefield. Yet the dawning century is fraught with greater moments, greater changes, greater revolu- tions than those they could foresee. Man | could never have been endowed with wis- dom which, from that standpoint, could | have enabled him to calculate that the rushing tides of men would seek the ful- fillment of so many prophecies upon these ‘western confines. ey could look into the future far as human e&/e could see, yet the visions of the world and all the wonders that would be, were closed to them and to the light under which they moved and lived and saw. From thefr time until now the’auon has never tagen a step save to ignore these traditions until they have become vener- abel wihtout being sacred. Every country has had its traditions, sometimes lov and sometimes feared, 8 memory, a super- stition, a prophecy, a Minerva, a dragon, or a sibyl. hatever it may be, ‘A speck, a mist, a shape T wist,” it throws its an- cient shadow over the concerns of a n tion and over the problems of its life and | existence. Can _the Americagn peo- ple be wise and temperate and can they be trusted without these oracles? For a moment let us look upon the condi- tions of the world as they have changed from the times of the fathers. The South American and Central American repub- lics are boiling over with revolution. Canada is growing, and in a few years, as a natlon measures its life, it will be- come too great a possession, a_province or a colony. It will be an independent republic, not wrenched with = violent hands from the mother country. but peacefully and by force of the inevitable events incident to the life of such a Feo- ple and such a country. Instead of a, colony it will become an ally. Russia is creeping gradually southward from Si- beria, waltJnF for’ the development of a little speck in the eastern sky destined to darken the whole of the ancient Chi- nese empire. Germany has an impatient war lord probably fretting his life away because he is unable to shape the des- tiny of the present war. Then there is France, afraid of herse)f, haunted by the memory of the Commune, by the shadows of both the royal and imperial crowns, protecting the honor of the army by the sacrifice of judicial honor, yet great in- tellectually, tinancially and in arms; ex- tending her colonial policy, maybe throug! ambition and maybe to avert disasters at home. A kingdom, an em- pire, a republic, the sublimest spectacle of a nation triumphing over ruin and disaster that the world has ever seen. Then Japan has risen like a shaft of light, wonderfully radiant and brilliant, an empire on an island too small for its destiny. Then China, with her immense wealth, her ancient traditions and poli- cies and*literature, gradually losing a coastline that would make another coun- try as great as any in the world. Eng- land, with her hand upon every conti- nent. Spain, once the Rome of the mod- ern world, whence Iberian Caesars waged offensive war in the Netherlands, spread empire over North and South America, shook with a glance the thrones of the Tudor and Valois, now, alas, the “‘Niobe of natlons,” stretching her wast- ed hands toward modern Rome. And this is the epitome of national greatness and national decline, and we are thrown in the midst of it all, and soldlers are firing guns, women are singing patriotic songs and sending their boys to the war, and venerable statesmen are ‘“‘making mouths at the invisible event” and pin- ning their faiths upon oracles and tra- di{lons. Stop a moment to think of it al We have largely to deal with natural laws. As I have said, the rule of the sur- vival of the fittest has been the law of progress since the world began. It Is thundering down the path of the ages. What has it done for America? A few million ‘of*people fighting for very exist- ence along the shores of the Atlantic, gradually pushing into the great valleys of the West, onward to the Pacific, ful- filling the poetic prophecy that *West- ward the course of empire takes its way.” We see the nation engaged in civil war and a divided country, then a foreign war and with a united country. We see a small navy, but the greatest in the world in proportion to size; with skilled officers, accurate gunners and brave crews it conquers in the face of Spanish valor. We see it in the shining Orient annihilating a fleet in face of land batteries, without the loss of a man. We see it in the West Indles against the pride of the Spal navy, destroying it, making captives its admiral, its ‘officers and its cre with the lgss of one man. We see the mighty Oregon sail out of the harbor of San Francisco, traversing more than half the water line of the continent, arriving upon the scene of war without a bolt shaken or a screw loose, and plungmg into the thick of battle. We see our lan forces, untrained volunteers, fighting their way against odds, against deadly fire, against strong intrenchments; we sce whole columns go down, others take thelr place, the lines close up, the “‘Star- spangled Banner’” {s sung, they reach the top of the hill, and the world echoes with the praise of their valor. Isn't it hard to tell so much courage, so much genius and S0 much patriotism that it is all to be bounded by the traditions of long ago? It is a difficult problem, for ‘‘the hand that kindles cannot quench the flame.” It is burning all along these shores; it is in the minds of men and the hearts of women. It {s a mighty impulse, neéver looking backward. “The moving finger writes; and having writ Moves on; nor all thy piety nor wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line, Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.” Mothers have given their sons for it, wives their husbands, and siste: their brothers. “Farewell” has been said, nor can all their tears wash out a word of it nor tradition lure it back to cancel half a line. In truth it is young America, will- ing to go into the thick of battle, to cut cables under the fire of Sflanlsh batteries, to block up harbors with sunken ships. And does tradition ask these men, as if they were hirelings, to give up all they have conquered? ' Young America is pressing hard against this slender thread “tradition.” Which is the stronger an which will break? Then tradition tells us not to meddle in the affairs of the “Far East.” As it is we have more commercial Interests in the East than any other na- ton. Shall we let some one else take care of them for us? We are the largest consumers of Eastern products, while on the other “ hand we suppl‘y them with but little. The balance of trade is largely against us. The more it is controlled by Kurope the more it will be against us. OGne Ameri- can city upon the Aslatic coast would enable Americans to control in a great measure the Asiatic output, whereas to- day Europeans are the middle men and grow rich upon the commerce of the Pa- cific. Such a city would also open for us an interior trade in Asia. The time is approaching when this fact will become more prominent in our commercial rela- | tions. We have been the pioneers in the | East. We opened tne ports of Japan and Korea. As a nation “‘we were the first | that ever burst into that silent sea.” Yet tradition and a few mdre fetters have kept us off and other nations have gone on and we have so impressed them with our traditional pollc?' of an *“‘ocean-bound republic” that the least bit of assertion on our part is regarued in the light of presumption. War has been a small matter compared with the problems that grow out of it. If we have been strong and wise in one, let us not be weak in the other. If we fought for humanity, it will not bless us should we return the Philippines to Spain for misgovernment. Humanity has suf- fered too much under her; the most fruit- ful islands have been cursed with her; people have been scourged by her, ever: thing has been blasted that she has touched; and ‘Where her frown of hatred darkly fell, Hope ‘Ynhennz fled and mercy sighed fare- well. “What shall we do with the Philip- pines?”’ Spain cannot govern them; anarchy must not destroy them; they shall not®be handed over to other na- tions to be used against us. There is a difference between fighting for conquest and taking the fruits of war as the re- sult of victory. One is the strained effort toward national expansion, “finding quar- rel'in a straw”; the other is the natural and logical result of events not to be i dreaded nor avoided. Whatever policy ' progress may suggest shouid be ours, we should hold to that doctrine destined to expand our commerce, and commercial protection should carry to all Eastern countries our influence, even though such influence should be protected by our flag. If this means conquest, then let coi quest come; but it does not mean con-| quest. It simply means that the destiny | of America has not been told by sibylline | prophecies nor handed down through nar- row traditions; but on the contrarv it is| to be measured by the genius of the An- lo-Saxon wherever they may carry her eautiful flag In consequence of the bur-| dens as well as the opportunities yet to come upon her. There has been much of the idea that the decay of races has been occasioned in vaulting ambition o’erleaping itself; in the idea that far-reaching policies have so0 far detracted from the strength of the home Government as to occasfon its downfall. Some attribute the fail of Rome to these influences; history fails to bear this out. If a Government is strong at home and preserves pure its fountains and springs of life, it will live through | the eternal years. It can win and lose ! provinces and Still be strong at home. | Roman decadence is but a name for R« man shame, never brought about by con- Continued on Fourth Page. "VENOOME PARLOR OF EIGHT HUNDRED COUPLES TREAD THE MAZY WALTZ Annual Ball in the Pavilion the Order’s Most Successful Function. AN JOSE, Sept. 9.—The grand an- nual ball of the Native Sons of the Golden West was given to-night in Agricultural Pavilion and was attended by an immense crowd of young people. The floor space is capa- ble of accommodating 800 couples, but had it been twice as large it would not have held all who were anxious to “tread the mazy.” The committee in charge of the affair had spent much time and labor in decorating the big edifice and the rough rafters were com- pletely hidden by bunting and hanging floral baskets, making the ballroom a veritable fairy bower. The ball itself was quite informal, as regards dress, a fact that was duly ap- preciated by the males, but utterly ignored by the ladies, who displayed some magnificent toilets. The Fifth Infantry band supplied the music and promptly at 9 o’clock the grand march began. It was led by R. H. Liteman and Mrs. E. Shale, the lat- ter robed in pale blue satin. Three hundred couples were in line at that early hour. The programme of twenty dances was not completed until a late hour, and when the happy participants sought their lodgings they voted it the most successful function ever given by the order.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 9.—One of the swell- est functions of the Admission day cel- ebration is the ball to-night at the Vendome, given Jjointly:by Stanford and Oakland parlors. These parlors, in accordance with a custom long ago es- tablished, marched together in proces- sion to-day. To their dancing festivi- ties this evening, the elite of Santa Clara County was invited. The officers of the Grand Parlor and many other noted guests participated.
