THE CITY HALL.
The Appraisement of the Davis
Site Made Saturday.
PRICE FIXED BY THE COMMITTEE.

The Lot 10 Cost $40, 800 and the Building
About s3o, 900, Making "a Total of $4G.-
500 Without Offices to Eent-The Matter
to be Settled Tonight.
The Davis site offered Cor the city
hail was appraised Saturday at SIO.-
800. by a committee com posed of
Messrs. John Ohlweilcr on behalf of
the city, j. NJ. Buford. the owners of
the lot. and John Crubaugh selected
by these two gentlemen:
The lot, building and all are Of
fered to the city at from $40. 0OO to
500. 900, according TO the price of the
building. A very nice building
could be pat up for $4,000 that
would answer all purposes, but with
additional space for Office rooms for
rental purposes the cost would of
course be more.
The site Proposed.
AS far as the preferences of the
council are concerned. the feeling
seems to favor the Davis site, not
| perhaps so much because of the loca-
ton rs tor the reason that accompa-
nying it is the only definite
tangible proposition carrying ont the
councils ideas in the premises.
| The ARGUS is not committed to any
OF the various sites proposed. Il de-
sircs to see the city hall built, and
that this year-the location is Of sec
ondary consideration. That is why
it so emrhatically deprecates the put
ting forth OF remonstrances against
the building such as was in circula-
ton Saturday, and which instead is
mere subterfuge and an instrument
OF an obstructionist. Rivalry over
sites is natural. All localities have
their good points; all cannot he the
best. and all cannot be selected. Pc
titions favorable to different sites
cannot be objected to, but when one
comes out opposed to the entire pro-
Ject simply because of disappoint-
ment in location il, ought to be put
down and given no attention on the
part of the council. The municipal
government is capable of Judging OF
its financial condition. and of its
powers to move, and the limits of
its powers.
Let us have the building. The
ARGUS has full confidence in the
councils judgment as to location.

BIG AND EMPTY WORDS.

The New York Evangelist is rather
severe with those who wish to make
the impression that they are great
scholars by the use of such words as
''errancy," ''inerrancy," ''soteriology
"Christocentic, ''etc. 1t speaks of the
useofsuch terms in this strong manner:
"All these words of many syllables
are denominations. 1t all comes from
the 'errancy' of men who think that
a new word is a sure token of a new
idea, while often it only shows phre-
biological vacuum which has to be fill
ed with sound. There is no fault
against which theological students
need to be more on their guard than
that OF using pompous and ponder
Gus words. If they wish to learn the
elements of real power, let them
study such great masters of English as
Spurgeon and Beecher. OF course, the
manufacturers of new terms can find
analogies for anything; but where is
it to stop? If a young preacher is to be
tolerated in 'errorlessness," why may
he not astonish his people by dis
coursing on the 'infelicitousness' of
heaven and the 'infelicitousness' of
the other place? But how much im-
preston is callow youth likely to
make with words which have to crawl
on four legs, or six? When he gets
so advanced that he can talk to plain
folks in this lofty way he must not
bemoan his impending fate if in their
secret hearts they wish that he had
never been born"
