JOHN WESLEY.

That the Wesleyan centenary should
have come and gone without some trib-
ute to the memory of the great evangel-
ist seems passing strange. One hundred
years ago, this month of March, John
Wesley died and left the world the
poorer for his loss. The catholic spirit
that inspired the earnest and energetic
evangelist is best represented in his oft
quoted assertion that his parish was the
world. The phrase represents very close
ly the mind and mood of Wesley, as he
contemplated from his Oxford rooms a
Christianity that had become both slug
gish and apathetic. 1t vas then that
with the zeal of a fanatic and the daunt-
less courage of a good soldier he resolved
to devote his life to that systematized
religious service and method of spiritual
revival that has left an enduring mark
upon all our modern forms of Christian
energy. If the Wesleyan church is to
day pre-eminenlly the church militant
there is no denying the fact that her ag
gressive activity is distinctly the inspir,
alton of Wesley's influence and example
There are men who may not approve

der was mounted on a spiral wire. The
boy reached the insect over the brokers
head and dangled it in front of his face,
while Hugh in the meantime was watching
the fun from one corner of the veranda.
The broker glared at the spider for q mo-
ment and,then jammed his hands fercely
in his pockets. Then he looked up in the
sky and began a nervous whistle. The
strain was too much and in a moment he
arose and walked over to Hugh.
Hugh, can you tell me where to find the
nearest physician he said.
.'Yes,' said Hugh, fright around the cor
ner. but say, l have been having plenty OF
fun watching that boy with his spider on
the WIRE"
A broad smile beamed over the brokers'
face as he casually inquired.
"Can you tell me tho location of the

A bright Young who is spending
the winter at Hanover writes the following
bit of interesting gossip about the young
emperor:
"'The emperor was here the other day,
He was expected at a certain time, but like
the prince in the fairy tale. he came early
in the morning, disguised and unattended
and was inquiring his way of
the people he met. 1t speaks
very we'll for the German soldiery
that on twenty minutes notice 1900 of
them were on the drill place to meet him.
A rather good thing happened. AS the
kaiser left the train he noticed that one of
the guards did not wear the usual uniform.
Approaching the man. he demanded
GROSSLY:
"'Where is YOU uniform?'
"The guard unsuspectingly said simply:
"'At the t~ailor's, sir, being pressed In
honor of the emperor's arrival"
"The kaiser had not a word, but turned
on his heel and walked away. We saw him
conduct a big drill. After a long wait in
the snow, he came riding along in the
midst of his guard, chatting and laughing
quite like ordinary foil. In spite of all
that is said of him he is @ good looking
man, He has a frank, open, Saxon face,
with clean cut honest eyes, and mounted
he looks every inch a soldier. for one does
not notice his deformed ARM

have no great love for the striking
methods that Wesley adopted to make
those doctrines known, Their senti-
ment on such matters these men are
prepared to Justify, but not one Of them
doubts that Wesley was one Of the
greatest religious teachers OF any age.
The movement which he created has
taken its legitimate place in the history
OF the world as one Of those great events
that are designed to guide the destlnies
Of nations. In his day he had to face the
~fiercest denunciation, the most unsparing
abuse, even by and from the members OF a
church which he desired to serve and to
which he was devotedly attached. But

his method, and his work, and to-day

sectional secessions, but the vital intiu-
ence OF the principles he taught has
been felt through all the churches and
has educed wave upon wave OF enthusi-
astic energy. He was a man and he had
faults. His system was human, and
that it has blemishes is therefore unde-
niable. But, as a man, Wesley deserves
to be honored for the many virtues OF
his useful and laborious career. He
was frugal and he was self-sacriticing.
A h~ospitable man, he ate little, never
touched wine, and habitually denied
himself the smallest of Injuries that his
purse might be open to the poor. His
followers would do we'll to remember
that Wesley treated all men with a
splendid tolerance. No man, it may be
truly said, surpassed him in generosity
or in manliness, in lofty devotion to
duty or in the example of a pure and
upright life. These and other virtues
rig htly make the name of Wesley hon.

A woRkINGMAN's CHARTER.

The new charter provides that street
grading, sewers, sidewalks must be made
at the expense of the AUDITING property.
Under the old charter street improve
ments of the same character are made
from the general fund. We will sup
pose the laboring man has a lot costing
$500, with a house upon it costing $1,000,
and next door to him a real estate spec
ulator owns a same sized lot. If the
street is improved under the charter the
cost of the improvement will be assessed
at 80 much per front foot; thus the spec
ulator will pay equally with the house
owner. Under the old charter the house
owner would pay tax on $1,000 and the
s%peculator On $500.
We must pave Main street this year.
This will cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000, and under the old charter every
house owner in the city would be taxed
to pay for this improvement.

The clouds of Ignorance and prejudice
surrounding the new charter have been
pretty nearly dispelled by the breeze Of
healthy, bracing, intelligent public SEN
timent. There is nothing like the glori-
Gus American privilege of free discussion
to make the lies hunt their holes.
