One OF the worst cases OF dema-
goguery that has come under our
observation for some time, is that
of the Oakland Repu6hican, which
came out last week in its editorial
columns and accused the Demo
cratic Administration of being TO
blame for the terrible calamity in
Washington City lately in which so
many Government employees were
killed and crippled. The Republican
claims that as the building had
been condemned the last Congress,
which was Democratic, should have
made the necessary appropriation
for a new building, but that the
pledges OF economy we're being car
ried out and hence the failure TO do
this, and thereby tho aforesaid ter
rible criminal result. All this
might impress some of the ignorant
and thoughtless members of the
Republican party who arc wildly
ANXIOUS to blame tho Democratic
party with something or other, but
the Republican neglected to men
ton that the building which col
lapsed was condemned some fifteen
or twenty years ago, and that its
own party had been in power most
Of the time since and entirely failed
to make any arrangements for a
new building, and even if the last
Congress had appropriated the
money for new building, it
conldn't have averted the accident,
as it would have been impossible to
have had one completed for some
time yet.

Interesting Mission Services to Be Held
for Three Days.
Some months ago the rector, Rev.
Stewart Mcqueen, determined to haYe q
mission" in this parish; that is, series
of short, hearty services, at which ad
dresses or sermons dealing with the
practical, every day matters Of the chris
tian life are delivered. This mission is
now going on, the preacher or missioner"
being the Rev. Fenner S. Stickney, of
Greensboro. Yesterday the subject of
the sermon in the morning was, "Liber-
ality," and in the evening, THE Messi-
anic Vision" The mission will continue
this week as follows:
Monday, p. m.-Subject, well Do
ing" 7:3O p. m THE AtoDement."
Tuesday, + p. m.-Subject, "Sympathy;"
1:3O p, m The Plan of Salvation"
Wednesday, p. m.-Subject, "Orna
ments;" 1:30 p. m, The Resurrection"
The concluding service will be on
Wednesday evening at 7:30. OF course
! it is understood that all will be heartily
| welcomed at these services 1t would
seem hardly necessary to invite people
to Gods house, for that is one place on
this earth which is free to all, and where
each has an equal right.
