BEEF. NOT BRAINS.
Officer McDonough Ordered Back
to Duty.
An Alleged Little Game Which Didn't
Work.

A story Is told us, which II true, and we
have no reason to doubt 1t, would be ridiculous
If 1t were not for the unfortunate position In
which it places our City Government in the
eyes of not only our people but those of other
cities, and it was not told us by the most inter-
ested party in the affair either.
1t is stated that Officer McDonough received
note from City Marshal Andrews, Sunday
evening, stating that he-McD onough-- was
suspended, and advising him to report to
Mayor Deering at 10 a. M, Monday. No
charges were mentioned by the Marshal to &C
count for the suspension.
At 10 a. m. Monday Officer McDonough
called on the Mayor. The Mayor, it is report
ed, told the officer he knew nothing about the
matter; that If Marshal Andrews had suspend
ed him, he no doubt had good charges to back
up the suspension, and he the Mayor-should
advise Mr.. McDonough to resign. The Off
Ger. 1t is further reported, told the Mayor he
was not aware of any dereliction of duty on
his part, and he most assuredly should not re-
sign without hearing Consequently, Mon
day evening, Mr.. McDonough appeared at the
Aldermen's room with his COUNSEL Gen. Mat
tocks, prepared to defend himself from any at
tack.
The ordinances of the city require that any
charges against an officer must be preferred
after his suspension, at the next regular meet
ing, which was, in this case, that of Monday
evening. Gen. Mattooks, and the officer, re-
manned on hand patiently until 10 o'clock,
when the officer, II is reported, received orders
to go on duty. thus ending the case
NOBODY seems able to give reason why
charges were not preferred, or at least reasons
given the officer, for his suspension. We do
not learn that any complaint has been brought
against Mr.. McDonough for lack of attention
to his official duties. There is rumor that
the Mayor Yves closeted with the Democratic
Aldermen in the early part of the evening, te-
fore the meeting Monday, but that one of the
Aldermen remarked in homely, if pertinent,
language, che did't want any more id police
fooling." " hich settled the matter without
hearing. The real reason for wishing to dis
charge Mr.. McDonough is reported to be that
he isn't big man; he didn't weigh 200
pounds and that only a big policeman can
command respect. If this rumor is true we
are sorry for some of the most active police on
the force, Bsef. not skin, is popular quaIifca-
ton Tor an officer, according to the Mayor and
Marshal. 1t would be we'll TO have sort OF
police nursery established by the city where
embryo policemen could be properly fattened
and nourished until they attain regulation
size aud weight. Joking apart however, it
would seem rather serious matter TO suspend
policemen without charge and then try to
frighten them into resigning, for, while such,
may not have been Mayor behring's inteation,
the affair certainly. has that look if the story
of the interview with the Mayor is correctly
reported.

The organ was not returned for three years and a

Samuel A. Gerry did not appear and was default

went to look at the organ at the request of Berry;
that he only agreed to be responsible for the rent
for one quarter that he heard nothing about an or

Theological Aapects d the rimes

lneoioglcdl aspects OF the Times.
At the New Jerusalem Convention in Bos-
ton, Rev. W. B. Hayden of this city delivered
an address upon "Some of thu Theological AS
poets Of the Times"
He said that the vast achievements OF our
age are altogether unparalleled in the history
of the race. All the Christian denominations
feel the impulse. and are powerfully stirred by
the spirit prevailing modern society. 1t affects
both heart and mind, both life and doctrine
Thinkers are attempting to interpret the
movement, endeavoring to formulate the prin-
ciples or forecast the direction it will take. As
many diverse tendenciesg exist in modern
thought, each observer loves to believe that
the general movement is, or will be, In his own
particular direction. Hence we may not be
surprised at the many divergent theories and
representations constantly put forth. Our
age has been called the ''age OF the decay Of
old theoioges." The formulares Of doctrine
handed down to us from the past are becoming
less and less satisfactory every hcar. There is
growing discrepancy between them aud the
prevailing tone Of modern thought AS would
naturally be expected, We are attracted most
to the theological developments in cur own
midst. 1t is noteworthy sign of interest that
crowds can be found to listen intently to high
themes on days usually devoted only to eecu-
lar employments. A duty rests upon us OF the
New Church, therefore, to approach these peo-
pie in spirit of the new age. the spirit of the
two great commandments of the law and the
Gospel, of love to God and love to man, unfold
ing to them our message of heavenly truth in
simplicity. sincerity and kindness. Their atti-
tuie is one Of search and inquiry We may
succeed in showing them that the theology OF
the future has already been written, and in
the Divine mercy is accessible to ALL
