The Presidential Election
(ohristian Advocate.)

We doubt if in any Presidential elec.
tion more thought, reading, intelligent
and personal decision, and earnestness
of purpose and determination were in
volved than in this. With many provoca-
tions to breaches of the peace. there have
been but few. Often there has been
much more intemperance; often far
greater fiippancy; also there has never
been more adequate protection Of the
voter from coercion. The couutry is
safe when it can freely express it's will.

The Raines law in New York did not

The Raines law in New York did not
fulfill its promise on election day. The
strong point of this law as continually
asserted, is that "it can be enforced"
But the Sun is authority for the state
ment that in the city the facilities for
obtaining liquor on election day were
all that the most bibulous could desire.
Heretofore the restrictions imposed on
the sale have made election day CON-
paratively quiet and orderly. What the
Sun reports for the metropolis corre-
spends with observation elsewhere in
the State. Was there an understanding
between the chief and his lieutenants
that this election should be an excep-
ton? Certain it is that drunkenness
was more general and shameless than
for years.
Another political revolution This
is the fourth in succession. If Mr.. Nc
Kinley and his advisers and those el-
ected to the national legislature with
the experience of their immediate pre-
decessors they might avoid another
overthrow four years hence. Judgment
has been pronounced in this election on
only one question. 1t would be grave
error for those who come into power to
assume that the ration sanctions the
entire party program. 1t is not party
victory. If it is used for partisan ends,
in narrow partisan spirit. another revo.
luton will be inevitable. 1t is to be
hoped that patriotic, conservative and
tolerant policy will be inaugurated with
the new president.
Mr.. Dillingham; closes his rather
gloomy forecast of our UNCONVENTIONAL
prospects with the assertion, "The
Congregational poIity is obsolescent." i"
On what data does he make such an af-
firmationa The Congregational body in
England is more thoroughly alive and
more prosperous than any other sect in
the realm, unless it be another con-
gregational body, the Baptists. The
Congregationalists in the United States
are the foremost missionary body in this
country; and though they are restricted
in their area of operation by the pre-
valence OF Presbyterianism in the
greater portion OF the country, their ratio
of progress is equal to that of the Episco-
palians. The Baptists are purely con-
gregational denomination, and they
rank second only to the Methodists. II
the congregational polity is obsole-
scent" it is not hurt by that disease, what
ever it is.
One of the commonest errors
among men is the belief, that il they
had good SYSTEM" national. state,
municipal, political, religious, all would
go we'll with them. But it has
been proved over and over, that bad
men nullify the good effect of the
good system. I'VE ought to have a
law" is the proclamation constantly on
the lips of the Anglo-Saxon. But when
we get our law it is not self executing
The men we choose, or somebody else
chooses, to administer the law. either
neglect or disobey it. Good men cannot
effect much with bad laws; but bad men
can always make good laws miscarry.
The laws are often. il not generally, bet
ter than their administration. Shall we
ever learn the plain lesson, that our need
is sound aud faithful men executing
wise and benefcent legislation.

alone. But he is not, and as result
he frequently rushes where angels
might at times fear to tread. When
the chief yesterday charged publicly
that "politics" was at the bottom of
the present crusade against some of
the Siberian methods in his depart
ment, he discharged blind volley
against brick wall and exhibited
woeful inability to understand the is
sue, or reprehensible unwillingness
to frankly deal with the charges made.
The chief has again drawn fire in
his direction for which there was no
warrant and which will not be borne
out by the facts. The volley thus
aimed will only rebound against him
self.
The chief, as has before been re-
marked, is of course big man, but he
may some day see a reflection in his
own looking glass which may change
his opinion of himself and of the fit:

NORTHWEST IMPROVEMENT ASSN
Measures of Importance Discussed at Las
NIGHTS Session

Measures of Importance Discussed at Last
Nights Session
The Northwest improvement association
held an enthusiastic meeting at Boutier
hall. at the corner of Bellvue avenue and
Montreal street. yesterday evening. TWAS
expected that the matter of regarding Tenn
pie street from Bunker Hill to Pearl street
would come up for consideration, but the
lnclement weather having kept away some
OF the parties most interested, it was de-
ferred until the next regular meeting. The
adjustment of the grade at the above-men-
toned point has been pending for long
time, but owing to the heavy damage as
sessment to property owners along the
street, it has been postponed until it has
practically become dead issue. Under
the present unsettled conditions no i'm
provements such as sidewalks and grade
walls, have been put in, and abe street is
therefore below the average in that district
The association proposes to agitate the
matter and some fruitful action will un-
doubtedly be taken within short time.
Routine business occupied some time at
last nights meeting, the principal part be-
ing devoted to amending the bylaws of the
organization. Among the important
changes made was the appointment of
Thursday evening as the regular time for
the weekly meetings.
The committee on the regarding of Cleve-
ported that a petition had been circulated
among the residents along the line of tho
proposed change, and that the same would
be ready for presentation to the city coun-
Gil next Monday
Concerning the petition for the widening
OF Bellevue avenue, the committee re-
ported that a majority of the property
owners had not yet announced themselves
as favorable TO the project. More time
was given the committee.
The committee on lights and water re-
ported that the electric light at the corner
of Alpine and Pearl streets was defective.
Further action was postponed.
in general discussion upon the work of
the association the recent action of the
city council. in defeating the proposed
garbage contract, was commented on and
Councilman SDyder was given a vote of
thanks for his stalWart stand against the
Objectionable measure.
The meeting was then adjourned until
Thursday evening of next week.

Results of Honesty.

"My watch is giving rue the ut

lieve it does not vary a second

Pleasant remarks these. Just
the kind of balm q matchmaker
needs occasionally to keep up
his spirits. For you know
working all day on a high
stool, a glass firmly screwed
into one eye, looking at objects
so minute it takes a microscope
to distinguish them, is not the
pleasantest occupation which
could fall to the lot of man.
So it's no wonder fellow

ally, and then it's the time a
few remarks like the above
does what all the patent medi-
cine in the world could not &C
complish, cheers up, makes
things look brighter, the next
job goes all the smoother.
Speaking ofthe above watch:
1t was an old one. The wearer
had used it steadily for forty
years. 1t had run enough; had
revolved it's wheels so long and
steadily, that at last it was
tired out. The pivots were so
worn, the wheels just wobbled
and wobbled. then stopped al
together. What was to be
done? Throw it away? Get a
new one. Yes, but the wearer
valued it for it's associations, it
was as dear to him as his best
friend;so nothing would do but
build it all over as it were, re-
new the parts, put some go
into it. That we accomplished
it to the entire satisfaction Of
the owner, his remarks above
would surely leave no room for
doubt. And we can do the
same with yours, sometimes
they 60 little too far, and the
cost for reconstruction is too
much, but generally no work
is too intricate for us. 1t is
that which we Drag about,
complicated work is our strong
hold. Isn't it reasonable now
to suppose that we are better
able to do your less intricate
work? Wouldn't it be safer to
give US the custody of your
watch altogether, no matter
what the trouble, and have a
feeling Of certainty as to it's
treatment?
