There is tendency on the part of engi-
neers, says leading railroad authority,
to trust too implicitly in their steam
gauges. These are usually the only and
last resort for determining the steam
pressure under which the boiler may be
working. But the best gauges are liable
to err, and after long use to require read
justment. 1t is fortunate that the error
is usually on the safe side OF indicating
more than the actual pressure. But there
is danger in even this, for the careless
engineer, alter finding out that his gauge
marks too high, is apt TO disregard 1t en-
tIrely aud not know now much too high 1t
indicates. The steam gauge should be
periodically examined, tested, ana ad-
iusted, and that, too, by gauge that is
known TO be correct.

IN IFS NEW HOUSE.
The New Houston street Congre%a-
lions Neat Little Church.

non Neat lIlIitt y
The first regular service in the New
Houston Street Methodist church since
the rebuilding Of the church editice was
held Yesterday morning. The repairs are
not yet quite complete but will be finish
ed in week or two. The general appear
ance Of the edifce has been wholly
changed. The rough, implanted aud UNI
attractive building is succeeded by a
neat and handsome little church.
The repairs were begun in June and are
now very nearly complete. The building
has been raised, and an addition has been
built on the south end, giving more room
for the Sunday school. A vestlbule has
been built on the New Houston street
front and an attractive steeple has been
added. The interior has been consldera-
bly, changed.
New windows have been put in, the
walls have been finished, neat gas chan
deliers take the place Of the old kerosene
lamps, the pulpit has been rebuilt, and
when new pews are put in, which VIII be
as soon az possible, the improvement Will
be finished. The church has been painted,
the lot has been inclosed, and the entire
cost of the work, the pastor stated TO his
congregation Yesterday, is about $780,
The necessity for the work has been
recognized by the congregation for long
time, but the means were not at hand.
Through the efforts of the present pastor,
Rev. j. =. Wardiaw, who has superin-
tended the work, ABOUT one-half of the
amount required has been raised. The
congregation IS expected to make up the
remaining half.
The church was organized in 1877 and
has now a membership Of something over
200. There has been IA large increase
during the past six months. The Sunday
school is IN a tiourishng condition, and,
with its new edihce nearly complete, the
society is prepared to do effective church
work

ent Executive, having pledged himself not 10
remove officials except for cause, the iact Vi
their suspension implies such misconduct on
the part of a suspended official as Injuries ms
character and reputation, and therefore the
Senate should review the case for his vrndica-
ton. I have said that certain officials should
not. in nv opinion, be removed during the
continuance of the term for which they were
appointed, solely for the purpose of putting
in their place those in political affillatlon Win
the appointing power: and this declaration
was Immediately followed by description OF
official partisanship which ought not to entitie
those in whom it was exhibited, to consldera-
ton. 1t is not apparent how an adherence 20
the course thus announced carries with IL the
consequences described If in any degree the
suggestion is worthy of consideration, it is to
be hoped that there may be defence against
unjust suspension in the justice of the execu-
tive.
EVERY PLEDGE FAITHFULLY REDEEMED.
Every pledge which have made. by which
l have placed limitation upon my exercise
of executive power has been faithfully re-
deemed. Of course, the pretence Is not put
forth that no mistakes have been committed !;
but not a suspension has been made except II
appeared to my satisfaction that the puollc
welfare would be improved thereby. Many
applications for suspensions have been de-
MED and the adherence to the rule lald down
to govern my action as to such suspensions,
has caused much irritation and Impotence on
the part of those who have insisted upon
more changes in the offices. The pledges l
have made were made to the people. and to
them | am responsible for the manner in
which they have been redeemed. 1 am not
responsible to the Senate, and am unwilling
