The Portland daily press., 1886-01-14

To the Editor Of the Press:
The PRESS of this date contains a letter
from Gen. Neal Dow, in regard to the site
for the proposed soldiers and sailors, monu-
ment. 1t would appear from the Generals
previous statements, made at the hearing be-
fore the City Council, that he has, and is,
continually changing his figures as TO the
probable expense to the City of Portland if
this site is given for the purposes indicated
by the executive ommittee If remember cor
rectly at said hearing the General stated in his
remarks he thought it would cost from $685.
600 to $4,000 Later in the evening his fig
ures were $4,000 Before the close of the
hearing he had advanced his figures to $751;
900. / supposed at this latter figure the Cen
eral would call halt. But no. Today he is
ont in letter over his signature in which he
makes the remarkable statement that he
thinks it would involve an expense to the
city at from $125, 900 to $4,000. Now any
citizen of ordinary intelligence knows that
the General is talking ''buncombe" when he
allows himself to make such an absurd
statement. Will some one kindly "hold the
General" before he raises his figures to half
a million or more? The first thing we shall
know is that all the taxable property of the
city is located in Market Square. So far as a
ward room for ward is concerned what is
the trouble with the ward room at the corner
of Spring and South streets? 1t was
used for many years as a ward
room for ward 5, it is as good now for
that purpose as it ever was, and besides is
within the boundaries of ward 4. As for ar
mories for the military companies, Old City
Hall never was, and never will be suitable
for that purpose, and very soon, even if the
old building were to remain, some other
building would have to be provided for our
military companies We have in a very CEN
trail location building built for market,
but the way matters turned at the time it has
not to any extent been used as such. 1t is an
elephant on the hands of the city fathers,
and is of no earthly use so far as market is
concerned. Why not raise this luilding one
story and finish off armories in the same,
as besides on one floor the compa-
nies could have good large drill room
something which they do not now have for
it is impossible to drill even one company in
their present quarters. Any officer think,
Of any of the companies, will back up this
statement Now in regard to the Generals
last, and perhaps most remarkable, state
ment, which is that he is afraid to leave this
matter with the citizens of Portland in the
nature of a popular vote. / have always
supposed that under our Republican form of
government the people have the right to de-
eide by a majority vote any important matter
as this would seem to he, and when the time
comes when the people are to be ignored in
these great public questions, the end of our
present form of government is very near.

Made the Congregation Smile.

Last Sunday, in a neighbOring village,
quite sensation was awakened at morn
ing prayer meeting. For some time few
devout and well meaning people have held
what they called holiness" prayer meetings.
Last Sunday, one of them imprudently criti-
eised some members of the church for aiding
in getting up an ''old folks concert to be
held last evening. As the concert is for the
benefit of the church, the criticism was
warmly resented by the society. The pastor
was emphatic and outspoken in the pulpit.
repelling with fervor the insinuatiOns of tho
morning prayer meeting. The opinion pre-
walls that some of the holiness brothers al
lowed their zeal to exceed their charity and
prudence In referring to the morning meet
ing the pastor said in the pulpit, Il have OF
ten noticed that those who are so consoien-
tious regarding the raising of money by. such
means are always cautious about raising 1t
in any other way" This called forth even
more tean a smile on the faces OF the audi
