SABBATH OBSERVANCE.

DR.. Little Of Dorchester presided at a
meeting upon Sabbath observance, held
this afternoon at Park Street church,
which was well filled with Christian En-
deavorcrs. In opening the speaking he
said it was the duty of the republic to see
that the Lords Day was well kept.
DR.. S. u. Rhodes of Montreal then COM
pared the street Sabbath observance in
Toronto with looser observance in Quebec
and Boston. He thought we We're not
ready commercially to pay the price Of the
Puritan Sabbath. If some rested, others
must work but he believed by legislation
every man ought to have one days rest a
week.
w. H. II. Smith of Washington, d. c.,
said that while the Washington Sabbath
was not ideal, church people had taken
hold of the matter and newspapers could
not be sold during church hours, and it
was a dry city.
Or. Page of LeavenWorth, Kansas,
pleaded for the Puritan sabbath In the
West, where he said Sunday was hol-
day, He spoke against readers Of Sunday
papers, but not the papers themselves.
Treasurer William Shaw of the United
Society of Christian Endeavor spoke
briefly; Rev John Pollock of Glasgow,
Scotland, denounced Sunday street cars,
and Rev. NJ. d. Kneeand of Boston closed
the meeting with fervent appeal for bet
ter observance of the day.

this morning from Ezekiel. He claimed
the prophecy that the bones of the Jewish

Jews together and then infuse Christian

this to he fact. The problems had

These books are still retained on the

recourse fails. The mistake was made
when the contract was renewed with
the Light and Power Co, that a pro-
vision was not retained which had al
ways been condition OF former con-
tracts. that the number of lights should
be reduced during the summer
months when Providence came to the
aid OF our impoverished people. 1t is
absurd to urge that the contracting
party would not agree to the reten-
ton OF this provision. A bold de-
termination to retrench on the part
OF the city would have suggested a
discOntinuance of the service at that
time, and the company would have
been glad enough to acknowledge who
was master OF the situation. But in
stead OF this precedent being retained,
the city contracted for an increased
number OF lights, and 80 far as we can
learn, no deductions were made for
imperfect service each month, as had
been the custom under former adj
ministrations of the city government.
Thus Olympia enjoyed the rare dis
tinction OF being the most brilliantly

should be labeled and hung up in con-

Let it be understood, that nobody
blames the Council for adopting the
most radical measures for relief from
the heavy burden OF debt, but it is ex-
pected in compensation .hat good
business judgment be exercised in the
management of the public interests,
and that measures of reform be reason
able and timely.

OvER-REACHED THE MARK.-Sena-
tor Hutchinson, in talking with the
Sprague IndtpcndcM reporter, says
that the present law imposing a pen
atty and high rate of interest ON de.
linquent taxes was framed to compel
loan companies to pay their taxes by
imposing Il rate Of interest equal or in
excess OF their own u.urious interest
on loans. He says he was on the Leg
islative committee which drafted the
act, and that it found that many OF
these companies were allowing their
taxes to remain unpaid from year to
year, because the penalty and interest
were so light that they could make
the money earn more by putting it
out at interest. Accordingly interest
was placed at 90 per cent to catch
these people and it has proven effective
as regards them, but it has also hit
the farmer class, contrary to the ex.
pectations. at would be difficult"
he resumed, "to draft q law which
will compel the money lenders to pay
and at the same time not be oppres-
sive to others. In fact, we want a law
which will admit of the smallest pro.
portion of delinquencies, for the more
people pay their taxes the less each

NO USE FOR BAYARD.

Republican Congressman Introduce
Resolutions Asking His Kmpeach-
ment.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The Massa-
chusetts Republican congressman caused
a sensation soon after the house as
sembled today. Representative Mccall
offered a resolution calling upon the
president to report to the house whether
he had taken any steps to ascertain if
reports of speeches Ambassador
Bayard had delivered in England and
Scotland were true and if~true what
steps if any had been taken to recall, or
censure said Bayard.
MIR. McCleary, Dem, Ky.) Immediate
ly objected when Mr.. McCalIs, col
league, MIR. Barrett (Rep., Mass.) came
forward to Il question of privilege and
sending to the clerks desk had read a
resolution for the impeachment of MIR.
Bayard. Both resolutions complained of
Mr Bayard's reflections on America S
protective system as state socialism aud
OF his reference to the United States
needing real man" like Cleveland to
govern ''a strong self confident and often
times violent people"
The Barrett resolution declared these
utterances were in manifest disregard of
the proprieties and calculated to in
jure our national reputation
and directed the foreign affairs
committee tosexamine the utterances in
that speech and to draft and report arti-
cles OF impeachment to the house.
Crisp of Georgia objected to the Bar
rett resolution as not privileged, but
Speaker Reed overruled him and Barrett
made a brief speech declaring Bayar
sought to aggrandize his party
ffr Of ie, 15ts
the senate's action in Van Buren's case
as justifying his resolution.
Crisp followed Barrett, defending Bay
ard, accusing the Republicans of simply
wishing to air their protective theo-
ries and defying them to pass
another tariff bill. There was a
spirited colloquy between Crisp and
Di1gley. of Maine. the latter declaring
Bayard had violated his duty in de-
nouncing half of his countrymen, and
when Crisp pressed him hard to know if
he believed Bavard's words were i'm
peachable, Dingley replied that in his
opinion they were, bat the policy of
doing so he tDingley) doubted.
The first vote on the Barrett resolution
came on a motion by Crisp to refer it to
the judiciary committee, the motion be :
ing defeated on rising vote of 80 to 206.
The Republican programme is to elm
mate from the resolution the reference
to impeachment and then to send the
resolution TO the committee on foreign
affairs.
Az $3.50 p. m. the committee had not
reached the balloting stage, having be-
come engaged in long discussion over
a resolution by Powell Clayton of Ar
kansas to regulate the selection of dele
gates in the District of Colum bia.
The Barrett resolution was adopted
after striking out the words directing
the foreign affairs committee to report
by impeachment or otherwise.
