THE TIMES CONGRATULATIONS.

THE TIMES this morning congratu-
lates the city upon it's yesterdays vote
as against the licensing Of the sale of
Intoxicating liquors and in doing this
and in pledging itself to the support
and earnest advocacy OF the carrying
out of the laws as they will now exist,
it compromises not one iota the position
it has maintained throughout the cam
paign. AS q newspaper for sthe COM
munity, and not for any one portion
thereof, The TIMES has remained
'hands off, in the issue now happily
brought to close.
The local option question was one in
which personal interests were at stake
as we'll as the future welfare of the
city and it remained for majority of
the voters to decide for themselves how
these matters should be settled. Indi-
vidual opinions will differ in all COM
munities and among all people and the
result of series of conditions will not
work themselves out in minds eye
: alike to finite man.
No one will contend but what the
majority of the people on both sides OF
the contending forces have had the
highest welfare of our city and it's
future prosperity, the best interests of
its people and the highest regard for
present and future conditions, closely
at heart. If the opposition made a
strong and determined fight it only
shows how firmly impressed its Nom
bers were that it was on the side of
right and justice.
1t only remains for the minority to
acknowledge the fact that they have
lost as gracefully as possible and with
the majority resolve TO maintain the
laws which the majority have seen fit
to have placed on the city's statutes.
Again THE TINES offers congratula
lions to the city upon the results.

HIGH TIME FOR A VOTE.

The New York Herald voices the
sentiment of the country when II says:
The Senate of tho United States
wasting precious time in dreary har-
arguing when the country is suffering
for financial relief is deplorable specta-
Gle which sh ould be brought to speedy
end.
"Senator Voorhees, has said that after
reasonable debate he would press for a
vote. What does Senator Voorhees, coz.
slider reasonable debate?
f"The majority OF the Senators have
made up their minds that the Sherms n
law must be repealed in obedience to
the popular will and for the good of the
country. In view of that fact furthe
debate is unnecessary and delay iniqui-
tous.
For such abuse the majority of the
Senate is responsible to the country.
II has the power to stop the useless
talking and order vote. II owes it to
itself as we'll as the people to exercise
that power.
"No one supposes that any further
speaking on either side will have the
slightest effect on the result. To keep
1T up is public evil and a public nuts.
ance.
SIT is time to call vote. The Senate
is simply increasing popular disgust
and indignation by it's inaction. This
week should not be allowed to close
without seeing the repeal of the law
which has wrought such widespread
havoc"

She Belongs to the Past.

The recent election of Miss Emily Lou
iso Gerry of this city as regent of the So
ciety of the Daughters of the Revolution
makes an interesting point of connection
between the present and the past in
American history.
Miss Gerry's father, Elbridge Gerry,
was signer of the Declaration of indie
pendence, member of the committee
which framed the constitution of the
United States and vice president of the
United States i'll Madison's administra-
ton. He was born $50 years ago a sub
ject of King George II, and his daughter

is now the oldest republic on the face of

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Rev. Mr.. Hamilton, a Presbyterian
Minister, Paints True Pic
ture of It.

The Oakland (Cal.) News reports the
following portion OF a sermon delivered
in the Independent Presbyterian Church,
of that place, by Rev. Mr.. Hamilton:
1--WE are compelled to own that this
old Mother Church shows an astonishing
vitality. More than half Christendom
still bows at her affairs. The common
people still cling to her robes. Through
pitiless storms that leave the seats of
our protestant sanctuaries nearly vacant,
we see them crowding to her worship,
morning, noon and night. Wherever a
few OF her children make their homes
a cross surmounted church will soon lie
seen. She builds wisely to meet con-
venience among the poorest communi-
ties, TO win aesthetic culture wherever
wealth creates such taste to be pleased.
And her people pay for her churches.
"Her missionaries are always crowd
ing to every heather country and among
the great populations OF India and
China number their converts by scores
for every one that Professionals can count
as the fruits OF their labors. No degree
of possible seli-sacrifice demanded by
their work turns them back. No danger
appals them. Wherever she gains a
foothold she speedily erects the univer-
sity, the college and the seminary as
we'll as the church, and wins thousands
of the sons and daughters of other relig'
ions, and even to Professionals, by the
superior appliances with which she fur
nishes them. And close by the side Of
her school and church you will soon see
her asylums for indulgence and mis-
fortune spring up. She is also gentle
and tireless nurse OF human pain

eve sometimes hear il said that the
whole system of Romanism is a shell,
without heart, substance or spiritual
life, that the masses are duped by its
false pretenses, but its readers know it
is hollow. We shall never deal wisely
with the evils in any great power which
millions of human hearts love and trust
and find comfort in until we learn to do
it Justice. We know that men do not
endure half century OF voluntary pain
and sacrifice for what is in their eyes a
transparent sham.
millions OF thirsty souls, generation
after generation, do not rush to foun-
tain which has long ago run dry. When
human hearts are seeking eternal life
they do not hold it 80 cheap as to take
up with patent counterfeit. Catholics
find some deepest want of soul in their
Church, or they would turn away from
her as false mother.
"The judgement of charity is begin
ming to supersede the judgment of pre-
judice upon her. The tone of Protestant
utterances respecting her value is rapid
ly changing. The Atlantic Monthly not
long ago sent forth an appreciative arti-
Gle that fully conceded her merits. The
Rev. Thomas X. Beecher followed with
words OF high commentator. The Rev.
Mr.. Ijams, in his sermon lately at the
installation OF DIR. Rexford, in San Fran
cisco, noticed the place she fills among
the religious organizations of Christen-
dom in the same tone. And 10! within
the week past comes to us the Christian
Union, one OF the most widely circulated
and powerful papers of Professionalism,
bearing this sentence: with all respect
for the earnestly religious among the
old Catholics and the Continental Pro-
testants we Judge that the Church OF
Rome contains by far the greater part
OF the living spiritual faith that exists
on the continent (of Europep Testi-
mony could hardly say more. The
power of the Catholic Church and her
use OF that power for good within a GER
tain sphere are not to be questioned.
"Wherein lies the secret of this great
strength? One short sentence gives the
answer. That church has come TO fixed
conclusions. In doctrine and practice
her mind is made up. 1t is not doubtedi
she has the stability and force OF the
single mind. Her ritual is one for all
the world-for the pope at Rome and
for the Digger Indian in California
The very sound and accent OF its words
are the same. No thought OF innovation
is tolerated for moment. There is nc
debate over methods. The prelimi
naries OF work are all settled. All hest

was decided ages ago-to extend and
preserve the church as she is. Each
member soon learns his part. Age after
age the command goes forth from the
triple crowned Head at Rome. The
whole mighty organism, from the scarlet
Cardinal to the rag picker in the street,
moves responsive to that command.
