AT the Essex Club dinner in Boston, Satur-
day, Hon. T. B. Reed delivered a brief and
humorous speech, in which he stated that the
campaigns of Gen. Butler were at least useful
inasmuch as he scared people into practical
politics. But the thing was now getting mo-
notonous, and he trusted that the present
would be the last campaign in which the gen.
eral would sppear. When he (the speaker,
came to Massachusetts,, he was surprised to
that the papers had discovered that the ad-
mini,tration of Massachusetts, was suspected
of being corrupt, her officials extravagant and
dishonest, and her Congressman ravenous af-
ter the spoils. Laughter. All this was news
to him. Politics. he maintained, was very
uncertain science, and it was always case of
Hobson's choice. Out of two evils, the lesser

PLYMOUTH CHURCH
Pays It's Floating Debt.

AT Plymouth church yesterday morning, Dr.
Seward, in preaching upon some of the condi-
tions of church prosperity, said that a sound
state of the finances was one of the conditions.
1t is said, he remarked, that debt is some
times benefit in stimulating people to self
denial and activity; but in this case / think
we hav derived all the moral benefit we need
from the existence of this debt, and now it
will do us good to pay it. DR.. Seward said
that he had no gifts as professional church
debt raiser, and could make no eloquent ap-
peals for money; and, in truth, he did not
think there was any need of urgency or solicit
tation. He would simply state the facs-that
to make the finances snug and comic, table for
the year, one thousand dollars was needed.
Dr. Seward also said that at no period in the
short time that he had been their pastor, had
the signs been so encouraging; in the increas-
ing attendance at the church services in the
general spirit of hopefulness and courage-for
these reasons he made the statement at this
time.
The result certainly showed that there was
no need Of urgent solicitation; for at the close
of the sermon opportunity wac given for sub
scriptions, and in few minutes the secretary
announced that more than the sum asked for
-one Thousand dollars-was already pledged
1t then appearing that many, who had not al
ready done SO, were ready and willing to give
it was decided to take measures for the crea-
ton Of sinking fund for the payment of the
permanent debt. A congregational sociable will
be held at the church Thursday evening.
There will be music by the choir, and some
brief addresses and plans will be suggested
for the creation of sinking fund for the pay
ment Of the permanent debt

The painters who are at work on st. Joseph
Church, have raised a chain Of ladders TO the

some passers-by saw man climbing the lad

that he was intoxicated The form was soon
recognized as that OF a drunken Lewiston rag

sire to reach the cross at tue summit of the
steeple. He mounted ladder alter adder. A
crowd gathered. AT times, the climber wa

fall and be dashed to pieces. He gained the
cross, put his hat on it and then began his de-

painters had returned fro their dinner. Two

THE army
ITS DEEDS ARD NEEDS.

From the report Of the secretary OF war IL
appears that the only outbreaks OF Indians
during the past year occurred in Arizona and
the southwestern part of New Mexico. They
were promptly quelled, and the quiet which
has prevailed in all other parts Of the country
has permitted such an addition be made to the
military force in the region endangered by
Apaches that there is little reason TO appre-
bend trouble In the future. Thoee parts of
the secretary's report which relate to our
sea coast defenses and their armament
suggest grayAt reflections. Our existing
fortifcetions are VIGOROUSLY inadequate to the
defense of the grsst harbors and cities Tor
whose protection they were built The ques-
ton of providing an armament suited to our
present necessities has been subject OF con-
siderateD by board whose report was trans
rnitted to Congress at the last session. Pend
ing the consideration of that report the war
department has taken no steps for the manu-
Facture or conversion of any heavy cannon,
but the secretary expresses the hope that
means to begin that important work Will soon
be provided invite the at
tenticn Of congress TO the proprIety

by the act OF 1906, Hitch is still upon the
statute books The matter hes already been
the subject of discussion in the senate, and
bill which seeks to supply the Deficiencies OF
existing laws is now upon its calendar. The
secretary of war calls attention to the fact OF
an embarrassment growing out of the recent
act OF congress making the
RETIREMENT OF OFFICERS
of the army compulsory at the age or Sixty
four. while the act of 1878 is still IN force,
which limits te 400 the Number of those who
