statesmen of both parties TO be an i'm.

whole fabric Of our public and private

act Of craftsmanship for President Har-

executive upon this important question.
Mr.. Cleveland, the President-elect. has

sided at the praise service held at the

thirty persons who had received answers
to prayer for others during the meeting

Covenant expressed Joy at the success
of the meetings. DR.. Dobbins requested
those who had found salvation during
the meetings TO arise and about twenty
five persons responded.
Rev. John France, pastor of Scott M.
h. Church, spoke for his denomination.
He belived that his own faith was in
creased and his vision made clearer by
the meetings A number of young men
who had been converted at the rink
meetings, joined his church Sunday.
DR.. Dobbins then called for the ush-
ers and had them ranged in two aisles
and thanked them for their services,
which he knew were aIduous. J. II.
Appleby,' one Of the chief ushers, re-
sponded in a felicitous speech. The
newspaper men then stood up at the re-
quest of DR.. Dobbins. He thanked them
for their services in reporting the meet
ings. The choir was thanked and 50
were the laymen who had managed the
financial affairs of the meetings He

sEoRErARy OF STATE FosTHR may act
prudently and calmly in the Hawaiian
matter but it is more unfortunate for
the country thsn for President Har-
rison's administration shat there is not
some strong. wise man in the Cabinet in
whom the people have implicit con-
tidence. When President Harrison sent
that buncombe Chilian war message he
may have been unduly anxious to advance
the interests Of Candid ate harrison, but
however that was, the effect Of the dodge
or trick was to impair his reputation as
statesman and to cause suspicion upon
his honor for the direct insult it flung at

Aoueer Performance.

Several years ago Hampshire baronet
was amazed to find that, although he
went to bed clothed as is customary, yet
ho invariably awoke naked in the morn
ing and could not find any trace of his
missing garment. A great number of
shirts disappeared in this inexplicable
manner, and as every nook and corner
in the room was searched without re-
suit the baronet at last told one Of his
intimate friends, and requested him to
sit in the room all night and watch de-
velopments This the friend did, and
after the baronet had for some time given
audible evidence that he was asleep the
watcher was surprised to observe him
get out of bed, open the door and proceed
with a quick pace along a corridor, de-
scend the stairs and emerge into an open
yard.
Suddenly the baronet, divesting him
self of his only garment, seized pitch
fork and buried the linen in a dunghill,
Afterward he proceeded leisurely back
to his bed. In the morning the baronet
incredulous at what his friend related
repaired to the dunghill, and after dig
ging for some time found several shirts
slowed away in this anything but pleas
ant receptacle.-BOstOn Globe

THE anonymous correspondents have
broken loose on the EVENING JOURNAL
with long letters about the Street and
Sewer Commissioners and the proposed
electric railways Life is too short TO
continue to explain why we must have
the names Of those who write letters.
We are pleased to have letters on any
subject Of public interest; we are sorry
we do not have more that we can
publish. They, If written in the right
spirit and accompanied by the name Of
the writer as an evidence Of good faith,
are beneficial to the community, honor
able to the writer. and helpful TO the
newspapers. Without the name Of the

The progress Of the glass industry in
America has been far from constant. 1t
has suffered severe and violent fuctua-
tions, amounting almost to annihilation.
Several times it has needed to be born
again. But the sum total Of these sue
cesses and vicissitudes has been the es-
tablishment Of an industry which, while
it is the Oldest, is also at the present
time one of the most promising and
most highly developed of all our indus

LETTERS From THE pEoPLE.

Change the Police Commission.
To tho Editor Of the Evening Journal.
Sir:-If ever there was change needed
in this city it is In the Police Commission.
The way certain policemen acted during
the payment Of taxes in this city was
outrageous Men who differed from
them in politics were dragged out Of
their places in the line to make room for
others. When IL was time to close the
doors they would let whole mobs in the
Office so that on one occasion they broke
the glass out of the doors. A white
man has been knocked down and beaten
by black policeman, his only excuse
being he made a mistake IN the man.
Instead Of being dismissed he was only
fined. The way the City Detectives were
shielded and the way Mr.. Lawson has
been ignored demand a change It is
also reported that there are no indict
ments against the present Chief of Police
at the Court House. During the last
campaign the Democrats held meeting
at Fourth and Market streets and the
patrol wagon was driven through the
crowd to break up the meeting. Give us
change. Do away with the police cap.
