Several complaints are made about
the manner in which the beer garden
in the eastern part of the city is allowed
to run on Sundays. 1t is CLAIMED that
liquor is sold openly all day long, and
that the police do not attempt to sup
press it,. Other places in the city are
strictly watched, and it is thought
strange that this place is allowed to
run. Complaints are SO numerous that
the case will zeal careful investigation.
AS the mayors order covers the entire
city, it is hoped that it will be carefully
carried out in every locality.

Death Warrant of 1.-The Ring"

A kick Of nc small magnitude has
been instituted against the 'boom pol
icy" pursued BY the city council in the
way of public improvements this season.
1t seems that the city fathers have de-
cided to do it all at once" and this is
what causes the howl. None of the cit
liens object to n system of yearly public
improvement, but it makes them squirm
to have to stand the expense of doing so
much in n year, II then doing moth
ing the following season. 1t has been
customary heretofore to order the
paving OF n street when the ma
jority OF the property owners on that
street demanded it, and this custom has
given satisfaction, as the cost of the
work is charged to the abutting prop
erty. 1t is held by the citizens that it
is no more than justice that this rule
should be followed for the single reason
that when the property owners petition
for such work they are voting Il tax
upon themselves individually, and that
this is something that the council should
be slow in doing. They argue that il
the work was to he paid for by the city
the case would be very differen( but the
city pays for nothing but the intersec-
tlons. SAID one OF the kickerS yester-
day: ut is undoubtedly the privilege
OF the council to order this work done
when SO decided upon by q three-fourths
vote of their number, and they are justi-
fled in exercising that privilege where
the enormous amount Of travel on a
principal t~horoughfare renders such Il
step advisable, even though the owners
OF abutting property are opposed TO it,
but it is questionable whether they arc
not going further han good judg-
ment dictates in ordering the paving
OF such streets as Pierce, Bluff
and High School avenue in direct
opposition to the wishes of a majority of
those who would have to pay for tho
work. l don't think the council is
using the city money dishonesty, but l
do think they are setting the pace a
little too fast for the city to maintain to
a .uccessful finish. We are already far
ahead OF any other city of our size in
the way q, public improvements, and it
cer....Inly looks Il little bit strange TO see
the council keep letting contract after
contract, although there is already
more contracted for than can be com
pleted this season. This steady kick

A correspondent Of the Boston Journal
suggests that the yellow fever epidemic at
the South presents fine opportunity for the
Christian scientists to demonstrate the cor
rectness of their theory of disease. Here
are whole communities, fleeing like sheep
from disease which is supposed to have
real existence and in large per cent. cases
to be beyond the power of the ordinary
physicians to cure. Now If the Christian
scientist can demonstrate that yellow fever
exists only in the imagination. that the
patient burning up with fever is but the
victim of a delusion which exists only ia his
mind, that, in short, nothing ails him, what
boon he will confer upon the panic stricken
people of the far South. These scientists
tell us that they have no doubt of the cor
rectness of their theory. They ought there
fore not to hesitate to act in accordance with
1t. Let one Of them take his stand by the
bedside of yellow fever patient in Jackson
vile and convince him that nothing is the
matter with him. If he can do that Chris
tian science will have received an impetus
which it never can receive as long as it
depends on the prosy and obscure lectures Of
It's devotees and alleged cures Of people a
little sick. Here is glorious opportunity
for some Christian scientist to immortalize
his name and knock all the various pathies
higher than kite. Who will volunteer to
go to Jacksonville and stay the plague and
the panic? Don't all speak at once

Harvard Vespers. Addresses to Harvard
Students by the Preachers to the University.
Many conferences and councils have in late
years been held for the consideration of the
feasibility of drawing together the various
churches of Protestant Christianity in the
acceptance Of a common creed. Doubtless,
many wise and liberal addresses have been
made on these occasions; but it is question
whether they all together have accomplished
so much in this direction of unity as the
yesper services delivered to Harvard students
during the past two years, and now pub
Hshed in this little volume. Unity In any
thing, and especially in religion, is not to be
brought about, desirable as it may be, by the
setting forth of any scheme or theory. 1t is
secured, if at all, by a quiet, and perhaps at
the time imperceptible drawing together of
mems minds in unity Of spirit through the
presentation and gradual acceptance of a
broad and wise liberality; through an ignor-
ing of unimportant details, for the sake of
establishing truths of far higher value.
This is just what these University preachers
have accomplished Here we have Episco-
palian, Orthodox and Unitarian ministers
Phillips Brooks, George A. Gordon. Alexan-
der Mckenzie, Edward Everett Hale and

Some men are born great and some make
themselves great. The Hon. G. B. Kilgore
OF Texas is one of the latter kind. But Mr.
Kilgore made himself great in none of the
ways by which Congressman usually acquire
distinction. He did not make great speech
he did not introduce great measure, and he
has never displayed any more than ordinary
aptitude for public affairs. But through the
grace of Speaker Carlisle be became chair
man Of the committee ON enrolled bills, and
while acting in that capacity there came into
his hands bill which it was his duty to
place in the hands of the President 1t was
his attitude In regard to the performance of
this duty that has conferred undying fame
upon Mr.. Kilgore. When asked when he
proposed to deliver the bill to the executive
Kilgore replied that he should do 50 when he
got ready, that he was boss Of that bill and
neither Congress nor the President nor any
body else could hurry him. or course the
boldness of this reply made great impress
sion upon the country and doomed him inn
mensely in his district which has renomi-
mated him unanimously. Texas statesmen
are becoming famous for their replies Ii

the vote Of Saco was transposed, so that that

treasurer was 1856 in favor to 36 opposed;
and on the amendment in regard to the ses-
