THE MILLENNIUM COMING.
DR. FaImage Describes the Good
Time which Will lie Here
In Sixty Years.

Rev. T. De Witt Talmage told the peo.
pie who thronged the Tabernacle Sunday
morning what he thought of the milen-
| mum Whlch he is sure will come within
the next sixty years. All the great cities
are to be completely changed. lie based
ms remarks upon the fifth verse of the
eighth chapter OF Iachariah: "And the
streets OF the city shall be full of boys
ana girls playing in the streets thereof. ."
New York is beautiful city. 1t lies
on both sides of the East river. In our
tlme and the time of our children there
VIII be dozen bridges stretching across
the river, and we will be more than ever
one city. When speak of New York
mean everything from Spuyten Duyvil to
Gowanus." DR.. Talmage described the
grand growth Of the city until it is now
become the greatest energy i'll the world,
and said: Lets thank God for our resi-
dt,ence in so goodly place. There were
thousands OF evils to be overcome, but in
the saving grace of God it will be made
city OF peace and virtue. believe what
the Bible says, that all the cities will be
saved. People have morbid idea about
the millennium. They think that there
Will be no hilarity, that there will be no
business, no enterprise. That is wrong.
Where there is one fortune made now
there will be thousands made then. All
dishonesty will be gone, all unfairness in
business, and men will have confidence
in each other. There will be grander
architecture, grander music, more pros
perity. The greatest injury to business
in New York and Brooklyn to-day is
crime-individual crime. When that
day comes-and | am not dealing in alb
straction--it is just as true as the Bible
all grievous taxation will be abolished.
Men nre now taxed for everything.
Everywhere it is taxes, taxes, taxes A
business man is compelled TO make a
small fortune to pay his taxes. They
have to support all the williams in the
prisons, all the orphans of those who
have died from beastly indulgences, all
the lunatics driven crazy by vice.
81 say to you, Republicans and Demo
Gratis, if you do not lessen taxes and the
expenses OF government, honest men will
form an anti-eXcessivet taxation, anti-rum,
anti-saloon, anti-abomination party, and
you who are now feeding at the public
crib will not be left so much as is given to
the street-sweeper. Applause But in
this time of which tell there will be no
more criminals, no more vice, no more
appropriations for improvements which
never reach the Improvements, but are
lost in the pockets OF the politicians.
There will be no more oyer and terminer,
no expensive impaneling OF juries, no
police courts, no station houses Oh, but
what prosperity there will be! In that
time to come all the haunts OF iniquity
will be torn away. There will be no
mendicants thrown from front door steps,
no wine shops, no lager beer saloons, no
distilleries where INKS are made. The
grandchildren of the woman who now
staggers down the street, followed by the
jeers OF men and boys, will be the re-
spected merchants-and all this will be
sixty years from now.
"Into the hands of what sensuous,
bestial crew, city politics have fallen.
Look at them as they stand about our
City Hall, picking their teeth and watch
ing for some crumb to fall their way.
What state OF things. We have no
mercy for the small criminals. If man
steals $40, send him to Raymond-street
Jail. Ii he steals 100000, let him es-
cape to Canada. We punish people be-
cause they don't steal enough. IN. Y.
