M'KINLEY PARDON'S A SAILOR. "SENTINEL" LOCAL JOTTINGS. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. CITY COUNCIL MEETING. the police courts and criminal courts, are tho sons of men who fell victims to drink.

The percentage in this casj is fully G1 per cent. I know whereof speak: 'This saloon' 'that other saloon' saloons, saloons, saloons, saloon figure universally in Anarchists' trials. Conspirators in saloons; dynamite was discussed in saloons; bombs were distributed over saloons; araml revolutionists were drilled above, under, or in tho rear of saloons; treason made assignation in saloons; and time and time again witnesses say: 'we went to such and such a saloon for wine or beer'. There is not a country under sun in which lurks so much treason, revolution and murder as in our saloons of the United States, and notably in the larger cities. These sa Oscar Jensen of the Philtdelphia Was 1 to One Year in Prison Because He Replied to an Officer Who Had Struck Him.

Sailor Oscar Jensen has had the honor of receiving a pardon from President McKinley, and the nation's Chief Executive has taken action in case of the tar, which proves that President is wise in his decisions and impartial in his judgment when the case, involves a man of influence and wealth and a poor seaman working for a few dollars per month. On the day of the transfer of Admiral Miller's flag to the Philadelphia at Honolulu, Admiral Beardslee, retiring officer, received an official communication from Washington, signed by the President, which instrument, as an example executive fairness and determination to see justice done one of the country's humblest servants, is destined to into history. About three months ago special let ters from Hawaii contained an account a strange cose of alleged iimiboidi-nation during a review of American tars at Kamcharaeha campus, Honolulu. The Philadelphia's bluejackets and marines, who are famous for their proficiency in drill, were drawn up in line at "In Place Rest," near one of the! city docks, close to the campus-. The; drill was over and the men were pre-) paring to embark in their boats for the cruiser.

The day was warm and the men were tired and thirsty. Hack of the I line stood a soda water stand, and Soil- or Jensen reached into his blouse, produced a 10-cent piece, laid the coin on the stand and took a bottle of soda water that was handed him by the stand-keeper. Lieutenant Guy Brown, a prominent young officer, noticed the sailor drinking the soda water. He approached Jensen, addressed the sailor harshly and without further warning struck the bottle from the sailor's hand with his sword. The blade cut a gash in the seaman's wrist and the bottle was broken into small pieces.

Jensen asked the Lieutenant: "What did you strike me for?" His question was put in quick, angry words. The officer, however, alleged that the tar used threatening 1 a a ge. Jensen was summoned to appear before a court-martial. The court ad judged him guilty and passed upon him the severe sentence of one year in prison and dishonorable discharge. Admiral who could r.of have thought much of his officer's modified tho sentence to six months' imprisonment, which modification proved that the sterling old commander had too much justice to allow his seamen to become victims of petty spite.

The testimony in the case was forwarded to President McKinley, and though it has never been made public, it is presumed that the President must have been convinced that the assault on Jensen was entirely uncalled for. The decision of the court-martial was reversed and instead of going to jail, Jensen was ordered reinstated on the Philadelphia. President McKinley will now be the ideal American among American blue jackets. AT THE fiECURBLR'S OFFICE.

My father married the stepdaughter. That made my wife the mother-in-law of her father-in-law, And made my stepdaughter my stepmother, And my father became my stepson. Then my stepmother, the stepdaughter of my wife, had a son. The boy was, io.f course, my brother, Because he was my father's son. But ho was also the son of my wife's stepdaughter, And therefore tier grandson.

That made me grandfather of my step brother. Then my wife had a son. My mother-in-law, the stepsister of my. son, is abio his grandmother, Because lie is her stepson's child. Mv father is the brother-in-law of my child, Because his stepsister is his wife.

I am the brother of my own son, Who is also the child of my step-grand mother. I am my mother's brother-in-law. My wife is her own child's aunt. My son is my father's nephew. And I am my own grandfather.

There is, perhaps, no feature of life more tragical that this the littleness of appreciation which the finest, spirits must meet. Real sympathy with the men and women that are nearest to us, true understanding of their hearts and minds, and just appreciation of the best that they can think and feel and do, are of slow growth in this world.

'Did Christ Build His Church on Everybody is invited to attend the meetings being held every night at Suns of Temperance hall, just off Water near Water St. bridge, Santa Cruz. Wednesday evening, Aug. 21th, the subject will be, "Did Christ Build His Church on Peter?" All are invited to come and listen to a candid discussion of this vital subject. Catholics are especially invited to come and ask questions.

At the close of each discourse opportunity is given to ask questions. Bulletin: Mr. Bryan admits that he did travel on a pass given him by the Southern Pacific for the "short distance" lying between Sacramento and Portland, Oregon, and does not seem to be able to grasp the full measure of his offending in the eyes of his following. Perhaps, indeed, he argues like many a California politician has done, to his own undoing, that he has merely been engaged in a spoiling of the Egyptians. Life is not the mere living.

It is worshipit is the surrender of the soul to God, and the power to see the face of God; and it is service it is to feel that when we die, whether praised or blamed, whether appreciated or misinterpreted, w'hether honored or ignored whether wealthy or destitute, we have done something to make the world happier.

The presiding judge Of one of tho Chicago courts is accredited with having said to an Inter-Ocean interviewer: "You may ransack the pigeon-holes all over the city and county, and look over such annual reports as are made up, but they will not half tell the truth. Not only are tho saloons of Chicago responsible for the cost of the police force, the fifteen justices' courts, the Bridewell, but also the criminal courts, the county jails, the great portion of tho Joliet State Prison, the long murder trials, tho coroner's office the morgue, the poor-house, the reform schools and the mad bouse. Co where you please, and you will find almost invariably that whisky is at the root of the evil. The gambling houses of the city are the direct outgrowth of the boon companions of drink.

Of all the prostitutes of Chicago the downfall of almost every one can be traced to drunkenness on the part of par- ents or husbands, or drunkenness on their own part. Of all the boys in the various reformatories about the city, 95 various reformitories about the city, 91 per cent are me cnuuren oi pirenu who died through drink, or came criminals tnrougn me same cause, ui the insane or demented cases deposed of here in the court every Thursday, a moderate estimate is that 90 per cent are alcohol and its effects. are sent up for drunkenness, what becomes of their families? The county agent and the poorLouse pro vide for some. It is a direct expense to the community The sond-baggers, murderers and thugs generally of today, wh are prosecuted in I 'the tho met tho all is in loon pests harbor thieves, thugs, housebreakers, anarchists, robbers and murderers. Nine-tenths of lawbrraking of America is hatched in saloons," and evil of whatever nature finds the atmosphere and surroundings of the saloon most congenial for the developing and furthering of its plans.

What true of Chicago is true of every other city or town in the United States proportion to the size of the place and the number of saloons. Every right-minded person knows that the above accusations arc true. Watc'h for awhile tho records of tlio different courts and see if you can not trace the larger per cent of crime to whisky and the saloon. Yet with these known facts staring one in the face, there are those Who will legalize these places of iniquity, luaniy mere are whose, pretentions would lead one to think they were opposed to all places and things of evil influence, who do, for the sake of gain either personally or otherwise, uphold and support by their vote, and therefore their influence, the saloon and the evils resulting therefrom. What can they expect? The Bible says: "Woo unto them which justify the wicked for reward, and taketh away the righteousness of the rightouo from him." What can they who justify or license the wicked for reward, the saloon Cor the tax which may be paid, expect at the hands of Almighty for it.

"Taketh away the righteousness" of any one who will help to make the promoter of crime a legaliz ed and protected business. Righteousness and protecting evil are not consistent companions. What then are we to think of those who claim to love righteousness, and yet uphold evil? What can be the effect of their lives upon the lives of others? What can the men of learning and prominence, who signed the petition asking lor a license to run a saloon in the college grounds, at Princeton New Jersey, expect of the young men who attend that university? The emblem of the class of '97 as shown in the class official publication, tells beyond all do'ibt to what such an influence is leading. A beer bottle, beer mug and corkscrew, a smoking pipe and pack of cards compose the emblem of the '1)7 class of this university having among its faculty those who ask for a license to run saloons on the college grounds for the accommodation of its students. What influence for good can any one expect when people, leading and influential men, uphold wrong for the sake of gratifying the lower and baser desires! Is it indifference which causes many to move with the so loon clement, or is it a fear to do what they know to be right? Never, so long as the saloon is protected by law, can we expect our people to be protected from the results of this business.

We can not legislate righteousness, but by making laws which banish, as far as possible the prompter of crime, from force of habit and by education of principles Instilled in the and mind, right-living will be the first thought, and desire of the. majority. The Christian peoolo particularly are the ones to which the world should look for help in the over throw of wrong. What is our respon- Nihility? Whom are we serving? Wo can not serve uou and mammon, jn which direction are you lcnd'ng your aid? It must be for the saloon or against it. Which is it? J.

E. R. BLASTS FROM THE RAM'S HORN. Sheep are sometimes taken over a bad road to a good pasture. It is easier for water to run uphill than for a selfish man to be happy Every drunkard's wife knows that there is a devil.

Before we can live, right we must first love right. Thought without a purpose is like seed spilled upon the ground. God never made a cow that gave mili punch. Those who touch each other are sometimes farthest apart. Put the wicked in ofiice and the devil will rule the tnvn.
