taxes per annum, and have very few
things TO show for our money?
Take some of the 'bond toting"

2. Build sewers, first Of all, to
all the residences of Waco. No
city can be healthy or clearly with
out sewerage.
Arrange to sprinkle the streets of
Waco. Thousands of people will

We want the dust settled.
d. Keep our streets clean. We
want a clean town.
5. Buy park. We need park
and each year you put this ma Ell

more money.
6. Let all your plans be looking

POLICEMEN ARE ANXIOUS.
pected TO Weed Out Objectionable
Members of the Force.

THERE'S an impression among policemen that
powerful influences are at work in the de-
partment with the purpose of ousting sergeants
and priYates who are Objectionable for certain
reasons. This subject has been much dis
cussed lately, but apparently without there
being much foundation in fact. Especially
has this been SO since it has become known
that the police manual has been revised and
made much more severe in its requirements
and regulations.
In several precincts this topic has been
talked over, and some men have not hesi-
tated to express the opinion that some Of
ficials desire the dismissal OF certain men who
are so faithful that no charges can be pre-
ferred against them, and have sought the
change in the manual.
The new book Of rules has been compiled,
and is already in the hands Of the printer.
1t has leaked out. although the Commission
ers maintain silence regarding the nature of
the innovations, that the most important will
-be in regard to promotions.
The lieutenant commanding each precinct
will keep daily record OF the efficiency of
each sergeant and private upon daily reports
each sergeant and private upon daily reports
Of the sergeant, and the result Of his observa-
tions. Every week complete statistical re-
port of this information must be sent to the
major of police. In this each sergeant or pri-
vate will be marked efficient, 'highly eff
Gent" or inefficient"
In promoting men to the second class only
those who have Deen rated as highly efficient
for one year at least will be available. The
head of the police must in turn report the in
formation given by the lieutenants to the
Commissioners, and recommend the discharge
of those continuously reported as inefficient.
In regard to the latter qualification care
lessness of dress, demeanor, and appearance
will be considered, also the use OF profone
or improper language while on duty or of,
In or about the station-house. The latter in
itself will be considered sufficient cause for
removal.
There is another amendment that Is 7ery
stringent. After the end of rule 80, the fol-
lowing is substituted:
Drinking intoIicants In barrooms or other
public places, whether on or of duty, will be
sufficient cause for removal from the force"
The Commissioners hint that this, as we'll as
the other new rules, will be very rigldly en-
forced. Not only the privates, but sergeants
and lieutenants will come under this rule.

was introduced and spoke Of how far the
workingmen expected the church to concern
herself with the welfare of the people. "Ihe
workingmen are not atheists said Mr.. Lloyd.
1.-THE labor movement is a part of the
church, and because the laboring men are the
brothers OF every member of the church, the
church should support the laboring men and
see that no injustices are done them. We be-
lieye that as wards the State, the women and
children should be protected by the church.
In continuing Mr.. Lloyd gave several rea-
sons why the wage-workers do not go to
church. They believe that the church is
nero insurance society. The wage-workers
will say the church will condemn the lottery
but will applaud the man who corners wheat
or corn. The wage-workers say the church is
a fashionable club house where the rich men
come to meet their friends and their daugh-
ters TO display their fine dresses and jewelry.
II criticise the church because l expect
much of the church. Iwould have the church
take large broom and organize Parkhurst
societies that shall go through this country
terror to corrupt politicians. l would have
them demand that the 100000 babies that
work in the mills be sent to school, and put
the 1000, 900 idle men who walk the streets 10
work. l would have the church say that
rather than have a revolution let US settle the
question by an evolution upward"
In conclusion Mr.. Lloyd urged the men,
bers of the Brotherhood to study the labor
question and be able to judge the actions OF
the workipgmen in fair manner.
The last address of the evening was by
Bishop Davis Sessums, OF Louisiana, who de-
clared that the practice of the fundamental
principles of Christianity cannot fail to settle
all the tangled questions between labor and
capital.
Previous to the evening session the newly
elected general council met IN the red parlor
of the Ebbitt House and reelected the officers
OF last year.
At the conclusion of the evening session a
number of State rallies and conferences were
held in the hall and at the Ebbitt II ouse.

the men have no real work in the church. but
that the work is done by the women, We
waat meD, and we believe that the Brother
hood OF st. Andrew is the bright star which
heralds the ushering in of a new era. when
more men shall be in the church"
After the singing of Brotherhood hymn
Rev. T. J. Murdoch, D. D., Of st. Luke's
Church, Salisbury n. G., was introduced and
continued the discussion OF the subject
''Wanted-Men, talking especially of mis-
sions and the duty OF the church in support
ing them.
Ancient Of Days" was sung and the last
address of the conference was delivered bv
Mr.. John r. Mott, representing the students
volunteer movement of New York. Mr. Mott
went on to show why the Brotherhood of 81.
Andrew believes in foreign missions. and said
that the young men of this day should not
step back from the support OF them. The sub
Ject was further discussed in three-minute
speeches by number OF delegates, and after
several announcements and singing the after
noon session at $40 adjourned. After the
session there were State rallies held in the
several sections of the hall and Metzerott
building by delegates from Georgia, North
Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.

THE CAUSE OF LABOR.

Vigorously Championed by Speakers
Some Churches that Are Merely Clubs
The discussion of temporal affairs and their
relation to the church is one Of the features
of the Brotherhood, and this subject was
thoroughly discussed at last evenings ses-
sion of the convention when the subject,
How far should the Church conce IN herself
with temporal welfare of the people," was
considered.
The meeting was public service and an
unusual number of ladies and gentlemen
were present. President Houghteling an
nounced the opening hymn, and prayer was
offered by Rev. DR.. Barrett. Mr. HoughteI-
ing then introduced Mr.. George ZabrisEie, of
Calvary Church, New York city, who acted
as chairman. In few preliminary remarks
Mr.. Zabriski spoke of the temporal affairs of
the people, and asked whether or not the
church should not concern herself with these
things.
He went on to tell how the church is to
Affect the people In the temporal affairs of
life, and then introduced as the first speaker
Rev. J. S. Stone, D. D., of Philadelphia.
POOR AND RICH IN COMBAT.
"There is unrest almost everywhere" said
he. 1.-THE poor and rich are in combat, and
there is cry for readjustment, and it is the
cry of men who are sincere. 1t is coming to
the church from the honest men. Your work
ing man has nothing to say against your doc
trine but in the i'll way in which 1t is lived out
We profess brotherhood, but draw the line be.
tween rich and poor at the church door. :
Many churches sto-day are nothing more
nor less than religious clubs. and this is
another serious hlndrance to the solution of
the problem
DR.. Stone, in closing, gave several sugges-
tions for the solution of the problem In
speaking OF this subject the speaker said:
"The church to which we belong will ac-
cept no emissary in the shape OF a foreign
pontiff. She is a national and patriotic
church."
This brief utterance met with the quick and
hearty approval of the great audience, and
the remark was cheered to the echo.
The cheering broke out afresh a moment
later when DR.. Stone said: 81 would have
the people understand that the President of
the United States occupies his exalted position
by divine right. The church should teach her
people to exert their influence in purifying
the politics OF this country by going to the
polls and voting for pure men,"
Chairman Zariskie then introduced Mr.
W. r. Stirling, of Chicago, who spoke on the
subject from a layman's point of view, and
urged the church to go forward and continue
to concern herself in more pronounced and
effective manner in the temporal welfare of
the people.

Made Twenty Speeches
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Oct. 13.-Beniamin
Harrison returned to Indianapolis at $50
this evening, after his campaigning tour
through Southern Indiana. His last speech,
which was the twentieth OF the trip and the
thirteenth of the day, was at Edinburgh, and
his voice rang out as clearly as when he
spoke first on yesterday.
In many of its phases this little journey OF
two days was similar to that longer
journey of thirty days which he took as Presi-
dent Of the United States three years ago. On
this trip his speeches were Of a political
nature almost entirely, and as result they
we're much longer than those on the other
trip.
Itwas notable fact on the journey TO South
and Southwest that large number OF people
who greeted him were OF opposite political
faith. On this trip the same fact was noticed.
Indeed, at one or two places in the south
part OF the State the greater part OF his au
ences were Democrats, but they listened
respect and interest.
On this, as on the longer journey, the CT
dren, with their flowers and flags. and q
veterans Of tine late war, with their Graz
Army buttons. formed a conspicuous featu
