Dear Sir : Allow me a few remarks on
y our letter to J. H. Nlsbet In the Recorder
of Juno 17th:
Death only transfers men to the spirit
ual world. He does not by death take on
his spiritual nature, but throws off the ma
terial body, that has up to deatfl incum
bered him; thus bringing his spiritual na
ture Into light. But reformation ceases
at death. “As the tree falleth it shall lio.”
lho good man keeps on the good path, the
bad one on the bad road. A person who
refuses to love a good life here, will see no
inducements to change alter death. He
does evil because he lovos it.
A man who does no evil and has no bad
habits, beeauso his nature and disposition
do not lead that way, hasty some accident
strayed to this evil earth from his holy
home. I never yet have met such a per
son.
Some layman and preachers are always
down on creeds; when in truth they all
have creeds of their own. A creed Is but
the quintessence of religious truth, a ‘mul-
tum In parvo,’ and ought to contain the
principles guiding a toan In all his thoughts
and deeds. Tho true Christian creed con
tains but a few printed principles as, 1st,
To love our Lora the Saviour with all our
heart, etc. 2. To love our neighbor as our
selves. 8. To acknowledge that everything
good comes to us, not from ourselves, but
from above, from the Lord.
To love the Lord is nothing but to al
ways act in accordance with the ten com
mandments.
What does Mr. R. M. O. mean by “He
who cultivates" * * Cultivates what
and how? And does not tho man who lives
a moral and correct life “cultivate his
spiritual nature"? If not, what docs he
cultivate, and what are the Graces that, if
cultivated, will follow us? Further, who
aro the pure In heart? I know several who
claim to bo so, but whoso acquaintances
style them arrant,self-righteous Pharisees.
Is it not well known that not all good men
are honored and blessed hero In this llfo,
nor all the bad and wicked punished here.
Further, what Is meant by “doing good”?
Nihilists, Anarchists, Liberals, Radicals,
Conservatives and what other i ames they
may bo known by, all claim to bo doing
and aiming at doing good !
And lastly what constitutes “Charity,
which is said to cpver a multitude of sins?
Hoping to hear from you again through
the Union-Recorder, Respectfully,
Lover of Trutii.
TO R. M. O.
Death is a common friend or foe,
As different men may hold,
And at its summon each must go,
The timid and the bold;
But when the spirit froe and warm
Dqserts it, as it must,
What matter where the lifeless form
Dissolves again to dust?

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C., June 22,1890.
Wbat has become of the principle
of protection so prominent in the Chi
cago platform of 1888?
The hardest blow yet received by
the Tariff, and the tariff ring, hereto
fore the sole issue and source of sus
tenance, respectively, of the republi
can party, lias just been delivered by
the President. He has had occasion
to be seriously provoked by the man
ner in which his suggestions wore
tabled during the present session, by
both Houses of Congress.
In fact, the old Republican Ship is
at sea, and in a heavy gale of wind.
She has drifted amongst dangerous
rocks that threatened her with de
struction.
The Pilot has ordered “hard a port,”
atid the G„ O. P. is now drifting be
fore the wind, directly out of the
course it has pursued' “from such a
time that the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary.”
The constitution authorizes and en
courages the president to frequently
offer advice to Congress. But the tar
iff and silver questions were so occult,
and the intricacies and interests of his
political position so great and various
that the President chose to refrain
from any public expression on the
subjects. Nevertheless he managed to
have his exact ideas on both questions
conveyed to the prominent republican
members. But, in spite Of that cau
tion, his own party has made the pres
ent administration appear ridiculous
and contemptible.
When that body of illustrious and
conservative statesmen in the Senate
flew off on a wild tangent and depart
ing from every principle of political

Charles H. J. Taylor, the negro

pays the following tribute to the Re

The congress of the United States
will pass the “Lodge Federal Elec
tion Bill” or some similar measure
during the present session, not so
much to help the negro as to increase
the Republican majority. I do not
at this time remember any act per
formed by Republicans solely to help
my race. Their acts since the birth
of their party has been incubated
out of selfishness. The negro was
emancipated not out of love for him,
per se, but to cripple the Southern
army by stopping the supplies furn
ished by industrious slave laborers
on the farms of this, section. Ho
was emancipated therefore moro to
help the Northern whites in their
contest than out of abhoremie for the
slave system.
A somewhat irate old village squire

characterizes village squires: “Boy
why is it that you always appear to
be hallooing whilst that I am passing

To which the boy responded, with
that readiness which characterizes
village boys: “Why is it that you are
always passing by whilst that I am
hallooing?” _

As the matter now stands, a few men
who own silver mines in the West,
propose to arrange the whole busi
ness of the country for their personal
benefit. It is natural that they
should want a steady market for their
product. The bill, which they have
just succeeded in passing through the
Senate makes the government their
regular customer; which is obliged to
pay them an exhorbitant price for
their ore—a price that it would not
oommand in the market.
The President has been pricked to
heroic measures to recover from the
blunder. It is a broad departure fdr

the position it has held so long, to

ident proposes to extend, commercial

It is a rare exception to find a Cal
ifornia girl who cannot swim. The
most expert ones are those who visit
Monterey, where the swimming Oaths
are located. The height of the season
is generally in July, but the crowd
has come earlier this year. The beach,
is crowded all the morning, and spec
tators line the shore. Among the
more expert swimmers is a Miss Prioe.
of Santa Clara county. She is a
blonde, quite plump in figure weigh

over 5 feet in height, stylish in dress,
and a great favorite In her set. This
is her fourth season at Del Monte.
Among her admirers is an eastern
gentleman named Goodman. He has
wooed without success for two years.
Young Goodman is a Yale graduate,
and while not particularly good look
ing, has a fine address ana pleasant
manners. Miss Prioe has not been
averse to bis attentions, and yet bis
popularity with other young ladies
excited no jealously on her part.
It appears that on last Thursday
evening, while promenading after the
hop, young Goodman told her he was
to return East on J une 1, unless she
accepted him. Miss Price replied that
iie could have her on one condition-
beat her swimming to the raft and
back. The raft is anohored several
rods from the shore, and at high tide
is at good swimming distance. The
challenge was accepted at once, and
the neit day at 11, high tide, set forthe
trial. Word went around among their
friends, anil many wagers of boxes of
candy, gloves, etc., were made on
Miss Price winning. Goodman took
up a number of bets, as his gentle
men friends were backing his oppo
nent.
Excitement ran high when the .r
of contest came. Miss Prioe lo i-. -J

rushed into the water and struck out.

waved their hats and handkerchiefs.
Miss Price rested, until Goodman
reached tho raft, when she was seen
to stand erect, place her hands togeth
er in front and dive. As she came up
she was seen to turn on her back and
raise one hand. Goodman immediate
ly sprang into the water and towed i
her back to the raft. Their frieuds-
on shore became greatly worried lestf

“The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure,

upon the proper proportions of the same, and the method of its preparation,
the Royal Baking Powder
is undoubtedly the Purest
and most reliable baking
