THE COMING OF CHRIST.

Special Christmas Services at the
Third Congregational Church.
Rev. William RAIDER, pastor of the Third
Congregational Church, preached yester-
day morning on 1.-The Coming of the
Christ" He said in part:
The coming of Christ is the central fact in
human history. Christ came into the world
with plan for the worlds redemption 1t was
audacious and complete. Other reforms are
broken down or have been difficult to work,
but here was one that never has been changed.
God did not try an experiment with Christ.
If he returned to-day he could find no shore
on which his power has not struck. The great
cities would receive him with hozannas, rising

The Late Restauranteur Honored by
the Bishop of the Russian Church.

the BISHOP OF the RUSSIAN Church.
The last tributes of respect were paid the
memory of Christopher Cernogorcevich
yesterday afternoon at the Russian Cathe-
dral on Powell street. Hundreds of friends
of the deceased assem- bled at the church,
where the funeral services were conducted
by Bishop Nicholas, an honor seldom
shown in the Greek church of this City.
From the church long procession of
carriages followed the remains to the Odd
Fellows Cemetery, where the interment
took place.
Christopher Cernogorcevich was well
known in this City among the Austrian
and Russian residents and the congrega-
ton of the Russian church. For a num-
Der of years he was proprietor of a liquor
and restaurant business on Vallejo street.
He was born in Baosich Bocche di Cot
taro, Austria, nearly fifty-fve years ago.

Merry Church Children.

The children of the Sunday-school at
tached to the Callfornia-street Methodist
Episcopal Church had an evening Of
Christmas entertainment last night. The
programme was made up almost entirely
of songs and recitations by the young peo-
pie. Their friends were there in goodly
mum bers to hear them, and the affair was
generally quite fitting as preparatory cele-
bration of the greater events of the next
few days.
"Christ, the Lord" was the title of the
service arranged. The programme in
cluded an organ voluntary, a recitation of
the Apostles creed, a Scripture lesson
upon the visit of the Magi, and a series OF
religious songs.

This is the Number introduced in the
House so Far and They are Still
Increasing.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, February g.
"Ground Hog" day in the General As
sembly found only one branch of that
body at work. The Senate chamber
was closed and most of the members
were spending the day at their re-
spective firesides. Their calendar was
up to date and the work so far ahead
that not a a ready to be acted
on was left over when they adjourned
yesterday at noon.
In the House 81 farmers, % lawyers,
s physicians, 4 merchants, l banker, 8
preachers, 4 editors, 5 teachers, / car
penter, 1 jeweler, 3 stock dealers, l
railway agent, 1nurseryman, / livery
man, 4 clerks, 1 cotton ginner, l miller,
l fish commissioner and several poker
players-making up the personnel of
the body-were struggling hard to get
q position on the calendar for meas
ures in which they were interested.
Next Wednesday one-half of the
constitutional limit of seventy days
will have expired. The House is strug-
Cling now in an attempt to pass some
sort of fashion on 500 bills that have
been introduced thus far. Daily the
number is being increased and as the
Senate has over 200 bills pending, the
| total number of measures the House
will have to consider will reach fully
1000.
To add to the burden the House is
bending under, it is yet to have its
hottest tits on the important measures
in process of preparation in commit
tees. The appropriation, the ways
and means and the elections commit
tees have not yet submitted anything
of much Importance. The committee
on appropriations has begun the big
task of parceling out the revenue to
the numerous state institutions. They
comprise a long list, including first, the
State University that wants and needs
S2s2, 600; then graduating down the
scale of educational, penal and elee-
mosynary institutions. The prepare
ton of the appropriation bills will re-
quire fully three weeks yet. Then will
come the fight on the floor over each
measure.

Saw Something. Somebody.
From the st. Louis Republic.


somebody ought to say something
about the gold reserve tomfoolery,"
writes a CarlinviIle (In. gentleman TO
the Republic; ..the United States never
did and never willneed anysuch bunko
backing. The Government has behind
it the taxable property of $4,000 o
people. Why should it be compelled
to keep up this golden fraud? Why
can't our credit be good for any con-
ceivable amount?'
How easy. Funny that Cleveland
and Congress never thought of this
before, isn't it?
Our CarlinyiIie friends reasoning is
complete-except in n trifing mat
ter. How can Cleveland get hold of
the taxable property of 65, goo 900 peo-
pie? Answer that question and make
the tale perfect.
Now that somebody has said some
thing about the tomfoolery of a gold
reserve, will somebody explain how
the President or his Secretary of the
lt@dStIN Ndtll 1tuNII oht- ~
and take the state of Illinois, to have
and to hold for the redemption of
Federal demand notes? If the Presi-
dent could levy on the state of Illinois,
| would he sell it punched at auction for
cash in coin or would he dispose of a
town at a time as his coin ran low?
Considering the trouble the Govern
ment had in imposing a little income
tax of $50, O0O, 900, we are surprised at
our friends chikilike trust in the abil-
ity of the said Government to pledge
the entire country as a guarantee of
Government debts.
Considering the unwiilingness of
Congress to tell anybody how or IN
what Government demand debts are TO
be paid, we are still more surprised,
No revenues can be collected by the
Government unless a majority of the
people are willing. No debt of the
Government a be paid unless Con-
gress instruets the President how,
when and in what the payment is to be
made.
And there is just where the trouble
is to-day. Nobody knows definitely
whether we are to stay on a gold basis,
go to a silver basis or take a whirl al
PETERS printing press currency. If our
friend al persuade Congress to agree
on that point, neither the gold reserve
nor the bullion stock will be in the way
at all. 1t is not what the United States
are able to do, but what their Congress
intends to do, that causes men to doubt
the future of the currency.
Will somebody say something about
the t~omfoolery of Congress? Much has
been said, but the English language is
not up to the occasion and the country
is restlessly hoping that somebody viii
say something strong enough to scare
every Congressman into fits.

Missouri Members Stir Up the House
With a Fierce ~Squabble.

WASHINGTON, February 4.-During
a hot colloquy over the adoption of
an order to consider the currency bill
in the House to-day, Mr.. Hall, of Mis-
souri,, denounced a statement of Mr..
Hatch, also of Missouri, as absolutely
false.
Mr.. Hatch detiantly declared that
Mr.. Hall would no use such language
to him of the floor.
Great confusion followed and the
Speaker IA obliged TO call the SER
geant -at-arms to enforce order.
There was no immediate issue to the
controversy, though some of the
friends of the participants profess TO
fear trouble.

The Goyernment Revenue An Right.

The Government Revenue All Right.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4~.-Secretary
Carlisle submitted q letter of informa-
ton to the Senate to-day which dissi-
pates the gloomy forebodings as to a
lack of revenue to carry on the Gov
eminent. Ii is in response to a reso-
luton of inquiry adopted last week.
The text of the letter is as follows:
"In reply to the Senate resolution of
Jan. Is, 1895, that the Secretary of the
Treasury be directed to inform the
Senate what is the estimated deficiency
in the of the Government to
pay current expenses between the 31st
day of December, 1894, and the 31st
day of December, 1895, and If the
s153, 1877 ,579.e9 cash balance in the
Treasury on the 31st day OF December,
1894, will be sufficient to meet such de-
ficiency, / have the honor to state that
from estimates made upon the basis OF
laws now in force, it is believed that
for the twelve months ending Dec. 81,
1895, the of the Government
from all sources will exceed ordinary
expenditures by s22, 564 ,032.
Respectfully,
~. q CARLISLE. Secretary"

THE Daughters of the Confederacy,
who were so bitterly opposed to the
State taking charge of the ex-Confed-
crate Home must get to work, as the
funds of the institution are running
low. The st. Louis Republic, referring
to. this matter, says: Though the
Daughters of the Confederacy have
undertaken to gather means for the
Higginsville Home, they cannot boast
yet as those who have taken off their
armor. Friends of the Home every
where will find all their generosity in
need. A strong organization will alone
insure ucces The last report of the
managers of the Home shows that a
strong pull and n all together is not
only desirable but absolutely essential.
THE New York World, in closi ng a
long editorial endorsing the Presidents
message on the financial question,
says:
Shall h Democratic party confess
its monumental incapacity in a failure
that would bring humiliation and
shame to every Democrat in the coun-
try? Shall Republican institutions en-
dure the unmerited reproach of in
ability to protect the credit and honor
of the nation which has limitless re-
sources at its command?
The World believes,as 1t has steadily
maintained, that the Government can
secure from the country in three days
all the money that 1t needs, including
gold, II the appeal is promptly and
properly made. With the gold reserve
restored and the Treasury armed with
authority always to maintain Il, the two
money metals can be kept at a parity
as they have been. And with this as
sured it would not be necessary tc
make a new departure and specify thai
the bonds shall be paid in gold.
The thing for the Democrats to dc
and for the Republicans to aid them il
doing is to provide for a popular loan
in the simplest form, unembarrasset
by currency complications, and pass II
at once. The danger is imminent. The
need il imperative. II the Democratic
party, IA the responsible majority
does not want to go ont of power ig-
ANONYMOUSLY and indefinitely now is the
time to prove that II is tit to be trusted
with authority.
