LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
No Evnnrellcnl AllInnee,

The Evangelical Alliance,
Editor EVENING JOURNAL,
] notice in your ,,aper of Wednesday a
short item aoosIr the work OF the Evan
geliea Alliance In our city, which speaks
on lt asa religious canvass Feeling that
many of our citizens would be glad to
know little more fully just what the
object and the work of the Alliance is, /
have written you this letter.
The principal work of the alliance is
not to make a religious canvass OF the
city, but it does that work only that it
may be helped by the information which 1t
viii gain through such canvass in the
broader work which is before it, The
object is to bring Christian friendship
and helpfulness into all the homes in our
city for the advancement of the moral
and spiritual interests Of the COM
munity. The purposes Of the friend
ship are to reach every soul pos
sible with the gospel Of Christ, to be
really helpful to those who are in any
kind OF need, and TO form such friend.
ships and acquaintance as viii deepen
the spiritual life Of those who are them
selves engaged in the work, as well as
make more efficient and practical the
pIbhCullB anu uVueE WOLh Oh bue cuuTCn.
Thus it is expected that those who visit
and those who are visited will be mu.
tually helpful.
A canvass would be completed with
one visitation. but this work will require
a monthly visit, or in some cases more
to every home in the field These Chris
tian ladies win therefore 60 to every
house, rich and POOR the minister anC
tho laymen, the protesting Christian anC
| the non professor, the Romanist and the
Protestant will all be visited once at least
Where, for any reason, 1t is not wished
that the visits continue, they will cease
for there is no disposition on thu
part Of the churches to thrust themselves
upon any one A knowledge of this fac
will insure the visitors a pleasant recep

they may stop. The first visitation vii

Philadelphia Times,
After twelve years Of party supremacy
the Generalization Of civil war and the
growing mastery Of the jobber had pros
tituted the great party that Curtis had
50 largely aided to create, and he was the
author of the first emphatic demand in
the party national platform for civil ser
vice reform. 1t was accepted with a leer
and a jeer as necessary to hold the
reformer and his able pen and
speech within the party lines but he
was in earnest then as he was when he
braved obloquy in advocating the aboli
ton Of slavery. and he saw the cause
progress until ali parties were compelled
to confess, or at least to profess, respect
for thoroughly honest administration
He saw his party in 1884 glibly repeat its
pledge for civil service reform and i'm
mediately mock it's pledge by the nomi
nation Of candidate whose hostility to
such reform was unconcealed, and he
saw his party bite the dust smitten by
the honest civil service reform senti-
ment Of the country.

Tonight at Harper's theatre the famous
spectacular drama, Passions Slave" will
be presented. The Louisville Times com.
ments upon it as follows:
Passions Slave" a romantic melo-
drama, was produced before large
audience, and Judging from the evidence
OF appreciation that was shown by the
audience. the play will fill the house for
the week. The company as a whole is a
strong one, the piece was admirably
mounted and the costumes were hand
some. The story of the drama Is located
at Old Point Comfort. Virginia, and is
full Of human interest and exceedingly
well told. Every member of the cast has
been associated with some first-class
company.

Sidewalks.

The Democrat Gazette of this morning
says. editorially:
The wanderer upon the streets finds
many kinds of sidewalk materisl-prin-
cipally plank, muck brick, little good
stone material. Plank are expensive by
reason of decay-unwhOlesome and TO
be put aside as fast as possible. Up to
1875 the crossings were of wood in all
parts of the city, but from a resolution
introduced in the council in the spring of
that year $1,000 was devoted to good
stone crossings. and since that time the
Improvement has been kept up. An,
other resolution looking to doing away
with wood sidewalks within certain fixed
limits is now in order-something needs
ed.
Stone pavements for sidewalks are
rather too expensive just now-in the
nature OF luxury, but always welcome
and to be encouraged. Bricks make good
walks the world over, but there are
bricks and bricks ,-good, bad and good
for nothing-for sidewalks. Those who
have given the matter attention know
that first class sidewalk brick of the usual
shape and size are good for 30 years.
There may be none in sight that have
been tramped upon so long, but there are
walks that have been on Main street 90
years without any repairing, and the
brick to all appearance seem to be almost
as good as new.
The observer will notice il he is
skilled in brick affairs. that the
square scratched brick that have
come into use within the past year OF
two. are full of promise for good service.
In appearance they are rather better than
the ordinary brick, and seem to be made
of material that improves upon the com
mon kind. These should be largely IA
vored. They should last half a century
They are easy to remove in case some
trenches must be dug. and will doubtless
stand the wear and tear of climate better
than the concrete asphalt pavement. At
all events such has been the experience
so far.
So, at any rate let the council, il it has
such power, make a move toward doing
away with the ordinary plank walks in
the mere busy parts of the city, and or
dain something better.
The Rock Island council has already
adopted an ordinance providing for new
sidew alks OF substantial material within
the fire limits.
