GRANT doesn't appear to be booming as
loudly IS he was few weeks ago. After the
first craze attending his return home had
passed, people began to think the matter
over, and many of those who were his en-
thusiastic supporters then have come to the
conclusion that, after all, he is not needed
at the White House, and it would be better
to respect the traditions against a third
term. 1t is probable that in the course Of
six months he will scarcely be mentioned as
Presidential possibility.

Boston Hsrald,j

A,man living in one of the outlying wards
Of the city, and apparently in good circum-
stances, has been for some years past in the
habit Of paying simply poll tax. This
year he was somewhat astonished at receiv
ing tax bill to the amount of 81 100. Upon
visiting the assessors to ascertain what il
meant, they commenced interrogating him
in relation to the ownership of certain mort
cages, stocks, ETC., and, when pushed to the
wall, confessed that they belonged to him.
and that the tax bill was all right. In reply
to his persistent inquiries as to who had fur
nished them with the information, they
finally informed him that his wife had been
registered as voter, and, when questioned
IS to her qualifications, had enumerated the
taxable properties Of her husband.

After the opening exercises last evening,
MIR. McGranahan sang, "Whsre is My Boy
Tonight" when Mr.. Whittle read from
Acts 3-the healing of the lame man at the
"gate beautiful" ..@.* -. g.
Eighteen hundred years have passed since
then, said the speaker, and the power of
Jesus is just what It was then, and he is just
as ready to help US as he was at that time.
The trouble is the church has so little faith
in the living Savior. Peter had full faith in
when he acted in this name.
In the matter of intemperance, there are.
perhaps, in St. Paul tonight Thousand
men under the influence of this sin. Oh, if
| men would look to Jesus and have faith in
his power to save, how much good could they
do by pointing sinners to him and assuring
them that Christ can save, and then take
them by the hand and lead them to him,
Drunkenness is bad, but it is no worse than
| many others; they are sinners just az We are,
| and the same Savior can help them that
helps us.
| After the male choir sang "Look up, my
| BROTHER" several testified as to the power of
Jesus to save them from drunkenness.
! MIR. Bates testified as follows I, too, had a
praying mother and wife, but as long ago al
1853 was wreck; but, thanks be to God,
they kept praying, and, in time their prayers
were answered. Five years ago wandered
into church where meetings were being
held. When awoke next morning they
told me where I had been. I cursed the
church, but in several weeks after again
found myself there, and again kneeled at the
altar, and they saidj I was converted but ]
was now drinking quart of whisky day to
keep me up, and was still unhappy. One
day asked why was not happy as others
were, and the reply came to me, "Strong
drink" sprung out of bed, knelt down,
and there settled the matter with God; and
he has kept me since.

spree asked God to help me, and I signed
the pledge. When did that wanted to do
more and went into the Jackson street

and He has kept me.''

his midnight prowling about Gen. Sturgis'

concealed amid mass of legal verbiagf
with intent to deceive. Fortunately these
have been discovered and frustrated, vet il
behooves our legislators to te constantly or
the alert lest they may be betrayed into
passing bill that may be pregnant with
evil.
The latest effort to disturb our currency
system is harmless looking bill, but when
closely examined it is found to be nothing
less than scheme to contract the ourrency
to the extent of over fifty millions of dollars,
1t purports to be a bill to require the national
banks to retain in their vaults portion OF
their lawful reserve in coin. It further pro.
vides, however, that the banks shall hold 8
reserve fund on their circulation as we'll as
upon their deposits. This would REQUIRE
them to withdraw at once from circulation
something more than fifty-three millions Of
dollars and cause sudden and very serious
embarrassment to the business public. The
plot was cunning one, but now that it has
been exposed there is little danger of its sue
cess.
Such provision as the one referred to is
wholly unnecessary. The circulation of The
national banks is now abundantly protected
by the deposit with the treasury of United
States bonds ten per cent. in excess of the
amount of such currency outstanding. Te
require the institutions to keep still LARGE,
deposit would be hardship against which
they would be very apt to protest. The
scheme has its origin among the gambler
OF Wall street, we doubt not, and is INSPIRED
by the hope of creating scarcity Of money,
and by that means stimulating speculation,
Besides being unnecessary for tho protection
of bill holders and unjust to the banks, it ID
an assault upon the prosperity of every per-
son in the country-an effort to make monev
scarce and dear, and to disarrange tho entire
business OF the country. We trust the bill
will be RELOCATED to the source whence it
came, with very emphatic intimation that
Congress will not become a party to such
dishonest and dangerous legislation.
