VOTE FOE GEO. REFS.

The Republican organs can be in better
business than attempting any attacks
upon Geo. Refs, the Democratic candi-
date for City Treasurer.
Mr.. Refs is an educated gentleman who
spent nine years in teaching, and prior to
his employment as deputy city treasurer
he was engaged as bookkeeper for differ
ent firms in this city. He held private
positions involving the most implicit con-
fidence and trust for these firms, and
in every instance discharged his
duties with the utmost fidelity.
He has for a number of years
been deputy city treasurer and in both
public and private capacity has had
charge of transactions which involved
his personal responsibility to the fullest
extent. If elected to-day the affairs of
the Office will not only be administered
with the utmost honesty, but with
the greatest degree of intelligence. He
will discharge the duties in person, with
no divided interests or labor His entire
time will be given to the public work
and it is of vital importance that an ex-
perienced man should hold the office.
1t is only those who are new corners
and do not know Mr.. Refs personally
who need any such assurances.
He can be voted for with a certainty
that every ballot bearing his name will
be cast for man in every way worthy
and competent for the place.

Opening Meeting of Evangelist Harrison.
The revival services at the Jackson Street
Methodist church, which have been amour
ced in this paper, began last evening, con-
Quoted by the distinguished evangelist, Rev.
Thomas Harrison, who has had such re-
markable success in Cincinnati.
The services opened by singing the hymn
81 Need Thee Every Hour" which WAS sung
with feeling by all as an Invocation to Al.
mighty God by whom alone the meetings can
be success.
After prayer by DR.. Marshall, the pastor of
the church, the congregation sung, "Revive
US again."
The speaker chose for his text, Mark II,
%: "AnG Jesus answered them and said, have
faith in God"
If there are mountains in the way, have
faith in God.
There are no difficulties in the way which
can not be removed by true faith in God.
If In your minds, my hearers, there are any
mountains-pray-pray.
Let us pray with expectation, what we
pray for is in accordance with Gods will. 1t
is his will that we should have glorious
revival.
"Have faith in Cod Let your faith be
earnest We must trust that God is able, yes,
dreamed of. Let our faith be in earnest.
Have faith for your loved ones.
Prayer for your friends and loved ones will
prevail.
Have faith in God. Will yon pray? Will
you pray?
God is goirg to give us good times here;
know it; feel it. Let US pray forlt.

gether with God.
Let us have 500 converted here in the next
month.
There is going to be excitement. Why not?

SILK In Minnesota.

About two months ago the Mennonites
located at Mountain Lake, Minnesota,
sent to Mr.. J. II. Drake, the land COM
missioner of the Sioux City road, several
skeins of raw silk, cultivated by them at
Mountain Lake, with the request that he
would take such steps as he deemed ju-
dicious to ascertain its true quality and
value. He sent the silk east and
the parties to whom it was sent
have been trying to get the
manufacturers in the East to put it in
their looms in order to get at its real
value, in practical point of view, and
have at last succeeded, so that it is prob
able MIR. Drake will get report pretty
soon. One of the persons to whom Mr.,
Drake sent a sample writes as follows.
think we discover a disposition on the
part OF manufacturers not to encourage silk
growing in the United States, and l think
it Is for this reason: On raw silk there is no
duty. On manufactured silk goods there
is duty OF go per cent. SO you see they are
prote cted, as the unjust tariff now stands. If
the silk is grown in this country, then the
growers will demand that congress place q
duty on raw silk, as well as on manufactured
silk goods. Then the home manufacturers
will not have it all their own way, and the
growers will not have to compete with cheap
Chinese labor, as they now do under the
present law. I will report further as soon as
am informed.

such moment, are of too grave a charac-
ter to entrust to either Federal or State
legislation. The remedy should be fun.
in order to place it beyond the
power of Congress to disturb values by
too frequent legislation. An amendment to
the Federal constitution making all gov
eminent and State obligations taxable at
q rate not to exceed certain per
centum on the dollar, would not
only strengthen Federal and State
securities, but would at the same
time remove the temptation
which under the present policy has
been so productive of fraud and the gen.
eral Generalization of the country. The
government would not, ON this account,
be forced to pay higher rate of interest
on its securities, as foreign capitalists
would stand ready to take them at the
same rate whether of taxable or non
taxable quality. The interest on the public
debt, 1t is true, would under this system
be q constant tax and drain on the
finances of the country; but practically
not to a greater extent than under the
present system; for the great bulk of the
capital controlled by the syndicates now
holding American securities, is owned by
foreign capitalists. AS public debt will
never, in all probability, be recognized
as public blessing in this coun-
try, the advantages to be derived
from constitutional provision imposing
limited tax on all Federal and State OBJ
legations, are of too important charac-
ter to be computed in dollars and cents,
when we take into consideration the de-
moralizing influences of the present sys--
TEN on the people of the country.
Looking back on the practical working
of the present law which ex-
empts government securities from
taxation, the results point unmis-
takably to the necessity of so
amending the Federal constitution as to
effect a more equal distribution Of the
burthens of government, and at the same
time protect the interests and preserve
the paramount authority of the Federal
power. The issues of the national banks
the best money the country ever had
are subject to both Federal and local tax
alton, and there is no reason why all gov
eminent and local obligations should not
be taxed for the support of the govern
ment under constitutional provision
placing the question beyond the control
of politics and politicians.

LEFT TO THE FLAMES.
The Seventh Street Bridge Condemned for
the Passage Of Fire Engines.

inc f0o60R0 OF EIf0 EOKlUo0s
The board of fire commissioners held
special meeting last evening and trans
acted the following business:
1t was voted to purchase four horses
for the La France engine, 1t having been
demonstrated that the machine is too
heavy to be moved, in o rough city like
this, with one team.
The chief was authorized to buy rubber
coats for the men of No. 5, smoke fues
for No. 2 engine, and to have the wheels
of No. A engine renewed.
The secretary was instructed to
notify the city council that the
chief engineer had condemned the
Seventh street bridge for the
passage of fire engines. This virtually
cuts of all that section of the city east OF
Trout Brook, including the Harvester
works, pillow works, lumber yards, and
other large industries in that locality
from the fire system of the city
as it will be impossible in case Of
fire to get an engine to it by any othel
route in time to do any good.
The superintendent of the fire alarm
telegraph being called upon for an ex.
PLANTATION of the frequent recurrence Of
wrong alarms, stated it was caused by the
stretching of telegraph and telephone
wires, and that no reliability ID alarm:
could be expected so long as these com

Willie Edouin's SPARKS .

Willie Edouin and his company of "Sparks"
began their engagement of three nights at the
Opera house last evening, to one Of the best
Monday night houses of the season. To say
that "Dreams, or Binks' Photograph Galeryn
made an instant and pronounced success, is
but to re-echo the plaudits of the audience.
The story of the play can be briefly told.
John Antonio Binks, a retired photographer,
and his wife, are quietly seated at home on
Christmas, where they are surprised by their
sons and daughters accompanied by their
wives and husbands, who come prepared to
give the old couple surprise party, and
succeed most effectually in their purpose.
There IS an expected arrival of little stranger
that is to make the old couple great grand
parents, and a collection amounting to
S375.l0,is taken up for its beneht, and, upon
this collection the story OF the play hinges.
After the departure of their guests the old
gentleman falls asleep In his chair beside the
fire and dreams.
The second act illustrates his dream.

runs riot, one laughable scene after another oc.
curing in rapid succession, keeping the at.
tention of the audience constantly on the alert.
While the fun is often of the hilarious order,
not one broad allusion, double entendre or
suggestive act is heard or seen to
mar the enjoyment. Willie Edouin
is the artist, and in his makeup and acting he
is irresistably funny. A particularly pleasing
feature Of this portion of the entertainment is
the picture frame lifelike representations by
MISS Alice Atherton, of Mary Anderson, Joe
Jefferson and Joe K. Emmett. The
dressing of this lady in her different
acts excited the envy of the
ladies, her $500 hand painted costume being
one of the richest ever seen on the Opera
house boards. The wonderful tenor voice of
Miss Lolita Bolton was heard to good advan-
tage. The singing numbers by the company,
while not particularly brilliant, were
pleasing and satisfactory. Mamie Rogers
and Silyy Gerrish were lively and vivacious.
making ell possible out of their respective
parts, while the "Chip'' of James T. Powers,
with his singing, dancing and tumbling, was

In short, the performance gave the greatest
