F. S. Brush to a Call reporter to-day. A few weeks ago in a sermon entitled “Partisan Politics vs. Political Manhood,” Rev. Mr. Brush dealt with the man from Mexico in most scathing terms., He says that since that sermon was delivered he has recelved | State | letters from all sections of the written by men in all walks of life con- gratulating him upon the stand he took. ““Fhis convinces me,” continued Rev. Mr. Brush, “that the sentiment of the peo- ple—that is, the bést people, who are edu- | cated, read the daily papers and think for | themselves, is unanimously against such a man as Burns. It could not be other- wise. No self-respecting man—no man who takes pride in the State—wants to see it represented at Washington by a man who, if all we learn is true, should be doing time in a penitentiar “I believe the ministers should take a, stand against such a candidate for the moral welfare of the State. It would be demoralizing to the rising generation if Burns should, by any misfortune, be suc- cessful. It would teach young men that the only road to greatn was corrup- tion and wrong doing. There are plenty of honest men after the Senatorship and it is a reflection upon the legislatars that Burns is allowed to get even a single vote among them. “I have expressed m, this subject from my pu. ¥ Views tully on pit and I want to see every minister in the State do like- | I t s a duty they owe their congre- gations.” 2 4 i FIGHT OF INSURGENTS ABOLT MANIL Continued from First Page. brought the news that the American flag had been raised over the island of Cebu, the United States gunboat Pe- trel, Commander C. Cornwell, visited Cebu on February 22. Commander Corn- | well sent an ultimatum ashore declar- ing the intention of the Americans to take possession—peaceably if possible, by force if necessary. The rebels im- mediately vacated, taking their guns to the hills. A party of marines and blue- Jackets was landed and the American flag was raised by them over the Gov- ernment building, which they still oc- cupied when the Nuestra Senora del Carmen left. The same steamship brought dis- patches from Brigadier General Miller | at Iloilo to Major General Otis, report- | Ing that all was quiet there; that there had been no further fighting; that con- | fidence had been restored and business | was being generally resumed. General Miller thinks it probable that the na- tives will soon become convinced of the error of opposition to the inevitable, and that the example set by the in« habitants of Negros is having its ef- | fect among the other islands, which, though not entirely .convinced, are, in General Miller’s opinion, open to rea- on. LSS WANTS THE OREGON TO PREVENT INTERFERENCE NEW YORYF. Feb. 26.—The Herald's ‘Washington correspondent sends the following: It is because of his desire to be prepared for emergencies and to prevent interference by the moral ef- fect of a formidable naval force that Rear Admiral Dewey sent a hurry call for the Oregon. While officials of the department deny that any explanation has been received from Rear Admiral Dewey as to the “political reasons” which induced him to ask that the Oregon be sent to Man- ila at once, they make this statement with the confidence borne of knowledge of the situation. In German diplomatic circles there is a disposition to resent the insinuations which have been made that Rear Ad- miral Dewey’s call for the Oregon was based upon his apprehension that the German government contemplated in- terfering. I was informed that the Ger- man government has given repeated assurances that it recognized the sover- eignty of the:United States over the Philippines and had no intention of | committing any action respecting the lands which would be distasteful to the Washington authorities. Germany has but two ships to-day in the Philip- pines—the Kaiserin Augusta and Irene —not a large number when it is consid- ered that much of the trade of the islands is in the hands of German mer- chants, and that besides protecting German subjects and merchants Ad- miral von Diedrichs has to take care of the subjects and interests of four other European countries. There is a disposition to believe that Germany, at the slightest opportunity, will land marines at Manila. As a mat- ter of fact, I was told that German marines would only be landed in the event that General Otis requested such action. According to a diplomat with whom I talked, General Otis has an- nounced that he will provide protection to foreign subjects and thelr interests. He is therefore responsible for their Should developments . occur such protection, then he may call upon foreign admirals to land marines, or if it becomes generally recognized that he is unable to meet the situation then marines may be landed merely for the purpose of protecting immediate prop- erty of foreign residents.

It appears the German govern- | ment had sent a large number of men to Admiral von Diedrichs to replace | those on board his ships whose terms of sea duty had expired. “Would the | admiral have taken from his ships men | who had been trained to fight them if he had expectea a conflict with Ameri- can men-of-war?” asked my informant. Well informed naval’ officers are of | the opinion that there is at present nothing on the horizon to make Rear | Admiral Dewey apprehend foreign in- | terference. But the burning of property | by the insurgents has made possible the | landing of marines to protect foreign | interests, and Rear Admiral Dewey, to prevent this. or even the suggestion of interference, with the encouragement which would thus be given the insur- | gents, cabled to the department that lt! would be wise to order the Oregon to| 1join him as promptly as possible.

The pulpit and the minis- try should never be thus degraded; it 1s the duty of the church, through its | ministry, to take high grounds and give | forth no uncertain sounds along the lines 1 of truth, purity and righteousness. There is a right and a wrong, a good and a bad | side ‘in affairs of state as well as in af- | fairs of business and religion. Nothing | can be praetically right that is morally. wrong, and the political evils of our day are moral evils. “Bribery, theft, fraud, drunkenness, immorality. Is the preacher of the gospel who says ‘thou shalt not steal, lie, | bear false witness,’ to hold his peace? If he is to cry aloud and warn men against stealing, ‘lying, bribe-taking. and the political offender in all these things is to be exempt, then I and every other minister of the gospel, priest and bishop should lay down our credentials, for, like Othello; our occupation is gone. “Is there any difference between steal- ing sheep and stealing votes? Yet we are s0 mixed in our ethics that the man who steals cattle is sent to San Quentin, while the man who steals votes by bribery and political ‘knock out drops’ is sent to Sacramento and Washington. Now which is the greater criminal?. Which of the twain is more dangerous to so- ciety? “Representatives and Senators In the Legislature assembled at Sacramento, hear me!

Yes, perhaps the latter when he waa Secretary of State. Is he a de- bater or versed in constitutional law?

So mean a man to block the affairs of state by pointing his pistol and saying to our répresentatives, ‘Your vote Or your po- litical lives.” “‘Once again I shall call the roll and direct the attention of the people of the State and of the nation to the names Quay, Roberts, Burns. But the meanest of these three is Burns.” Thus spoke Rev. Frederic C. Lee of the California-street M. E. Church to a Call reporter yesterday, elaborating upon his article in the Examiner explaining his ‘Washington’s birthday lecture, in which the reverend gentleman said that if there was a picture of the Father of His Country in the State Capitol he hoped the legislators had had the decency to turn it to the wall. The Examiner article is as herewith reproduced: “If there is anyhere about the halls of the Capitol at Sacramento a_portrait of the ‘Father of his Country.’ I hope they have had the decency to turn its face to the wall.

Lee Vividly Contrasts the Noble Qualities of the Statesman and Patriot With the Political | - Trickery of the Senatorial Aspirant. Mexico “Great and good himself, pure In pur- pose and in life, he could only live in pure surroundings, and so he gathered around | him in the affairs of state the wisest and the best. “With unerring instinet he made Ham- {lton" his Secretary of Treasury, and at this hour we remember the words of Web- | ster, ‘He smote the rock of the national | resources and the abundant streams of revenue gushed forth. He touched the | corpse of public credit and it sprang upon | its feet.’ | “With wisest foresight he made Jeffer- son Secretary of State. and when he placed | the ermine of thé judicial robe upon the | shoulders of John Jay it rested upon a man whose life and character was as pure and spotless as itself. | “This high standard, these lofty polit- | ical principles are as necessary and a practical to-day as they were one hundred years ago.

The representa- tives of the commonwealth of California standing hands up while they are rifled of the only thing of value about them— the vote intrusted to their care for safe delivery at Sacramento by their electors. “I ask the people of California shall we gend our boys T miles across the ocean | to face a horde of savage Filipinos and allow a gang of thugs to strangle us at home? Shall we ask our men in Manila to fight for freedom abroad while we are being shackled and sold at our State capi- tol? “Are we Americans?

Shall we put renegades and the tools of corrupt corpo- rations into place and power, when our fathers crowned only manhood and nobll- | ity of character and made the scholar and the statesman ruler over them? Shall we cringe like coward slaves when our ancestors were giants in mind and congcience? “The Greek orator two thousand vears ago said: ‘The character of a city is de- termined by the character of the men it crowns.’ Is it not true to-day that the ‘character of a State is determined by the character of the men it elects to public office? “Can that man whose religion is singu- lar, but whose ‘wife is plural, reflect any honor upon the State of Utah?
