Washington has SO frequently to arrange
for big public events that a talent for or
ganization has been cultivated among the
citizens. This is apparent in the thorough
ness of the arrangements for the Moody
meetings. The plans adopted and now be-
ing carried out will insure an orderly and
effective handling Of the immense throngs
that will undoubtedly fill Convention Hall
twice each day during the continuance of
these meetings. When the meetings sre
over and the work of the various commit
tees has been concluded Mr.. Moody will un-
doubtedly appreciate the fact that the cit
izens did their part toward making mis-
labors here successful.
The return Of Mr.. Moody to this city
after the lapse Of some ten years will be
notable in several respects. He win realize
the change In the city when he faces an
audience Of ten thousand people In the
great hall and compares 1t with the audi
ence. on his former visit. of some twelve
hundred people, crowded into the largest
church auditorium in the city. Mr.. Moody
has not stood still in the interval. He con-
tinues to hold a pre-eminent position be-
cause of his rare powers. Perhaps the
quality that contributes most to his success
Is his common sense. He Is not a maker
Of polished periods or an artist in gesture
or expression, but he knows the direct road
to human consciousness and follows it, he
deals with experiences common to every
man. woman and child. and In direct
earnest fashion he places them in relation
with spiritual things and drives the applica-
ton home with a power of homely illustra-
ton.
1t is Mr.. Moody's rule never to accept pay
for his services while engaged in such
series of meetings rs he proposes to hold
here. Yet he has never lacked money to
carry out great enterprises. 1t Is tribute
to the force and purity of his character
and motives that he has been made the
agent Of others in spending money in doing
good.

favor of a 2 per cent income tax on in

and large percentage Of the democrats
oppose this tax on the ground that 1t is a
war tax, inquisitorial and impossible of col

which the tax will receive in the House will
come only from the south and the west and

SIGNS OF THE DOG DAYS.
On April i Dog License Money VIII
Txo EAuo

On April Dog License Money Will
BE Due.
On April all dog licenses must be re-
newed. Health Inspector Benjamin has had
census of the dog population taken, and he
finds the number to be about eight thou
sand The increase in the number of
CANNES is greater in proportion than the in
crease of human beings. The Inspector
hopes to license every dog. If he succeeds
the S., 900 received will be devoted to the
Improvement of sunken lots and the abate-
ment of other nuisances which are constant
ly complained of.
Last spring many owners of dogs refused
to procure the necessary license, and as a
result several valuable dogs met untimely
deaths. Every owner of dog refusing to
comply with the ordinance subjects himself
to fine of $40.
The Inspector intends this spring enforcing
the ordinance more rigidly than ever, and
to this end will request the Aldermen to ap-
point pound keeper in each of the Alder
manic districts. The pound keepers will be
authorized to pay dog catchers a certain
sum for every dog not licensed brought te
the pounds. Owners failing to redeem the
dogs when once seized see no more of them
as the valuable ones will be exposed for sale
while the eurs will be shot or drowned.

A TRAVELLING THRONE

William II is the first monarch Of Europe
who has appreciated the value of American
methods of travel and has SO organized his
train of cars that he can move from one end
of his empire to another not only without
without personal fatigue, but under con-
ditions that enable him to transact state
business as satisfactorily as if he were in his
working-room at Potsdam or Berlin. The
Chicago Vestibule Limited fiuds its counter
part in the German imperial train, which
may be said to have doubled the
capacity for work of a monarch mai My
criticised because of his superabundant
energy. People who find fault with the EN-
peroEibecause, as they say, he is perpetually
rushing from one corner of Europe to the
other, forget that it is not he who does the
rushing, but the train of cars under him
Hissife, meanwhile, is as placid and method
ical as one could wish but where his grand
father was satisf1ed to know man through
a written report, William the II. prefers to
see that man face to face.-Haiper's for

THE TARIFF IN ONTARIO.
/ Probabilities 1t VIII BE Fashioned
After the Wilson Bill.

PROBABILITIES 1t Will BE Fasn1OneO
After the Wilson Bill.
OTTAWA, Ont, March 27, 1894.-The
House will meet at three o'clock this after
noon, and Immediately after the routine
business is disposed of Finance Minister
Fosser will take the floor to deliver the
budget speech.
Whatever may be the plans of the Gov
ernment regarding the tariff they are well
guarded, and little beyond conjecture can
be learned about them.
The general opinion appears to be that the
revision of the tariff has been very thor
ough, and that very material reduction of
duties will be made. A member of the OPP
position who assumed to speak from good
information states that the total reduction
of taxation will be about five millions and a
half of which about four millions will be
made up by additional duties, most
asset is that coal oil and binder
twine will remain as they are, that cotton
and woollens will be materially reduced,
that there will be considerable reduction in
the steel and iron duties. but that the bounty
will be continued and other concessions
made to the steel and iron men. Coal is a
much debated article and opinion is about
evenly divided as to whether or not it viii
go on the free list. Whatever changes are made
will be in the direction of maintaining the
principles of protection, while removing
many of the Irregularities which now exist,
and reducing taxation. 1t is stated on good
authority that the revision is SO great that
an entirely new tariff bill will be introduced,
one of the most distinguishing features of
which will be that specific duties will, to a
large extent, be replaced by ad valorem.
