After the regular business of the board
Alderman Walsh presented long preamble
reciting the original grant to the railroad.
to use horse power was made. and later
January IL, 1892, to change to electricity
and ended with the resolution to revoke botl
grants.
Alderman Carr opposed the resolution
declaring that the board had absolutely nc
mower to annul the franchise. 1t was alb
surd. he said. to take any action that would
inconvenience million inha abitants tC
please few thousand. There were 10000
unemployed non-union men in the city. lie
thought it was more fitting for the board to
try to help than to legislate for the law less
few thousands The companies have honest
ly tried to operate rhe cars, and were pre-
vented by the violenc, of union men. The
Council chamber was filed with strikers
and thei, friends, and the remarks of Mr..
Carey was greeted with rounds of Kisses
from the rear benches. Several other alder
men expressed the opinion that it was only
buncomb to adopt the resolution. as it was
unconstitutional and could not help the
strikers, and was more likely to do more
harm than good. The board. they declared,
had no right tC deprive these companies of
the right to operate the cars, and it 81
finally suggested that there was no harm in
passing the resolution and letting the
courts decide the right of the aldermen in
the premises. On motion, the resolution
was adopted 10 to s.
..The resolution now goes to the mayor,
who. it is expected will veto it. To pass it
over his head will need two-t birds vote.
The action of the board, even if it should
escape the may yor's veto is not expected to
have a serious effect on the companies. The
power of the board of aldermen to surnmari-
ly revoke the rights granted common
carriers is questioned, and the aldermen
themselves are somewhat hazy as to how
they can hope to enforce this action. Should
the proceeding before the attorney general
in Albany result in the forfeiture Of the
companies charters the action of the CON-
mon coucnil today would become operative.
otherwise it will have li:tle effect.

THE GOLD RESERVE

Will Have 10 Call on New York Bankers 10
Help Them Out.

New York, Nov 15.-It Is rumored that
the treasury department. has communi.
Gated with New York bankers with a view
to making arrangements for the restora-
tion of the gold reserve The proposition
Is that when the reserve falls to S75, 5,0e0,
900, the banks shall furnish s25, 900, 00C
gold, for which they will receive 4 pei
cent. bonds on 8 per cent basis. The
idea is regarded with favor by the banks,
as they would rather supply gold than ex-
perience another financial disturbance.
Thomas B. Reed, slated for Speaker Cd
the House of Representatives, spent some
time In New York, recently, discussing the
currency question with the bankers. He.
it is said, has intimated that he will op-
pose the proposed retirement of the green
backs by an Issue of bonds. He found that
the bankers as rule objected to the wip.
ing out of the greenbacks, If there is to be
no other form of money to take their place.
While the treasury statement shows
s346, 600, 900 of greenbacks outstanding,
experts estimate that the amount in act ual
circulation is less than $500, 900 900.

tional circles as president OF Colby Uni
versity, mt Waterville, Me.

"Manifestly, it Is not life OF ease.
Possession Is power. Power is obligation.
Opportunity is imperative to action. Cul-
tnre is possession and power and oppor-
tunity. Its mission is straightforward
word to the worlds heart, recalling the
history Of its own development, recogniz-
ing the sphere within which it has the
right to speak, impressing itself upon the
worlds life for the answering of hard
que tstions and the relief of need.
Among other things, he said: ''The
power that rules the world is not simply
love. hut law, no weakling or negation or
dwarfed divinity, but Divine righteous
ness that would make men righteous. The
way upward is the way marked by Abra-
ham and beaten hard by the feet Of all the
saints who have followed him.
What men most need Is a renewal with
an impulse born of fresh hope. The secret
of this lie is personality. The crownine
element of Inspiration in every age has
been contact with personality able to i'm
part Its own life and power. Sacrifice is
the law of progress. The world lives
through those who make their lives an
offering for the good of others
what the world has that Is worth most,
It has In accordance with the law of free
will offering. Culture is stewardship. Its
task is great, and so is its power. There
is such thing is reasonable optism. Il
is always day somewhere
In man himself is the deepest pledg,
thar one day equities and expediencas vii
be brought together. Our place is with
men. The old prophet was voice in tn,
wilderness. A new prophet must take hi
stand in the world. Wherever the COLDER
age may be, the golden opportunity is tn
present.
