perlence OF conversion and call to the
ministry last evening, In the congre.

He attended q Methodist school and
when in the foIrth year OF his course
there was a remarkable revival in Yo-

Our Settled Tax-Rate.
The City Council seems to have done
the very best 1t could towards keeping
down the tax-rate at its meeting on
Thursday night. Nobody expected
that it would he kept down to the old
rate of Sl.40 per hundred, indeed it
would hive been ruinous TO the city's
interests to have done 50. As 1t is with
o tax rate of sl.55, very little advance
can be taken IN many Improvements
that are needed. A self-sacrificing
spirit was needed on behalf OF the tax
payers and the City Council bravely
took that step that would most pro.
tect the tax payers. To have met all
the demands of the various depart
ments of the city it would have taken
Just as Mr.. Cotton first showed a tax
rate of $l.1o, but to have adopted that
rate would have been direct npples-

We agree with Mayor Wiley that
there should be an increase OF the po-
lice for our populous and fast growing
city, but rather was it better for us to
get along with our present force than
to increase the taxes s2l 900, by the APP
pointment of twenty-five additional
policemen. We have got along very
cleverly thus far with the force We
have, let us try to get along one year

What Is the Matter With Har rison?
Why do our Democratic and Mug
wump friends insist that Secretary
Blaine is still candidate for the Re.
publican nomination for the Preslden-
cy? Do they think that he is weak
candidate and can DO easily defeated,
and do they really believe that he has
such ehangeable mind that he will
now consent to be a candidate after
having written a published letter
that he would not be candidate?
MIR. Blaine Is the idol of the Republl-
can party, there is no doubt abou /
that, and he can have the nomination
If he just says so. Nobody knows this
better than Mr.. Blaine does, and a
| single word OF gesture from him
would set the people wild from one
end of the country to the other, but so
far from him giving any signal that
he would accept nomination he has
kept studIously quiet deeminEllhs let
ter TO the public sufficient notice that
he would not be candidate. We have
always held with Mr.. Blaines closest
friends that he meant precisely what
he sad last February and that he does
not propose to change his attitude. II
must be apparent now to every rea-
souable mind that this is fact.
ON the other hand. what has Presi
dent Harrison done that his defeat
should be 80 ardently desired ? Let
those who are opposed to him bring
forward their charges. They have
eannonaded necessarily for more than
a month and they are mcking no con-
verts to their cause from Mr.. Blaine
down 10 the hunblest Republican in
the ranks. Nowhere throughout the
length and breadth OF the land have
they made single convert. On the
contrary their forces have been dc
pIctei, their Misrepresentation laid
bare, and their base of operations
forced from one point to another un
