"WHEN L WAS A REPUBLICAN,"
A Part OF Seth Lows Speech in Long Island
City ON Wednesday Night.

VII ou NNeuuehuhy Might.
In a speech which Seth Low delivered on
Wednesday night in Columbia Hall, corner of
Harris street and jackson avenue, Long Island
City. he referred now and then to the timc
when he was a Republican. Here is a sample
OF what he said:
IF that one man asks your officer to do some.
thing not in the interests of the city / freely
grant that the strong man in the Mayors chair
may be able to say no. but I believe sincerely
that such a man in the Mayors chair would
have to contend from the beginning to the end
of the term against those organizations IL he
wants TO do the best work for the city. Now,
l don't know anything that is more exhausting
to a man than to be compelled to contend against
his friends. and you see at what dis
nomination OF the organization and has been
elected by the people on that nomination. How
is he successfully to resist at all times the de-
mands of that organization when they run
counter to the interest Of the city, and they do
run counter TO 1t very often. Every man who
has been in that important public office knows
that.
when I was a Republican it was that way.
and it Is that way still. The average citizen
knows that, because he has seen politics enter
into different departments and play havoc with
partments. Therefore, I think the city has a
better chance of being we'll governed by candi.
dates who come before the people and say:
We owe no fcalty whatever to any organiza-
ton. but 10 the people OF the city Of New York."

Labor Leaders or Chicago Object TO His APP
penrnnce Here for Van WICK.

CHICAGO, Oct. labor leaders In Chi
cago are preparing to make things warm for
Mayor Harrison and the Cook county Democ-
racy men who are going to New York in
support Of Tammany in the municipal cam
puign. The free-silver faction of the local trades
union is solid for Henry George, and opposed to
Tammany. because it lodged on the silver ques-
ton. When 1t was learned that Mayor Harri-
son would take the stump for Van Wyck, a
storm of protest arose, and several local leaders
called upon the Mayors friends and gave warn
ing Of coming trouble.
The Mayor decided to ignore the trades union
"kickers," and the union men say they will
bring the matter before the next regular meet
ings of the central labor bodies and secure tho
passage of resolutions charging the Mayor with
being false to the principles of the Chicago plat.

"a room could have been filled that would

the trouble was that tho commercial men could

which this meeting was held. That fact OF it,

business man or laboring man or salesman or

existed in this city a year ago. when there were
empty stores on every block. with the fact that
the commercial men had to hunt high and low
to get II room for these meetings. and then could
find only seven empty stores along Broadway,

YOUNG ] PEOPLE OF BETHANY.
PROGRAM RENDER
ED BEFORE A LARGE AUDIENCE
AT THE CHURCH LAST NIGHT.

In a beautifully decorated church and
before a large congregation the b. Y p.
u, of Bethany Baptist Church, carried
out the program for Young Peoples
Day last evening The exercises began
with the members of the organization,
to the number of over a hundred,
marching into the church from the
chapel adjoining. A Scripture exercise
was Interestingly rendered by twelve
boys and girls. A report from the
Junior secretary, Miss Flossie Tatem,
showed that the Juniors numbered six
ty-seven, and that they had an aver
age attendance of about forty.
An outline OF the work done at their
meetings was given, and a Junior drill
followed, under the direction of their
leader, Miss Sallie p. Evans. The ques-
tions were upon the Junior Christian
culture courses, which they had been
studying for the past year.
The knowledge shown and the prompt
answers given in concert by about thir-
ty OF the class was highly creditable.
Questions concerning the number of
books in the Bible and its main divi-
sions, also upon the life and teaching Of
Christ beginning with the times in
which he lived, concerning his boy
hood, beginning of His public ministry,
on through it, including death on the
cross, resurrection and ascension; with
questions also upon the mission work
and mission societies of the denOmina-
ton were answered with promptness
and precision. The leader looks for
we'll on to hundred examination pa
pers to be returned to headquarters for
the certificate and seals.
The report of the year for the Seniors
showed the membership to be at the
present time ninety-seven, a number of
whom, as well as from the Juniors. had
joined the church during the past year.
Fourteen of the seniors are also taking
the advanced studies of the Christian
culture courses, under the direction Of

the pastor, Rev. o. G. Buddington,

exercises, with George Lowe as leader
and Miss Phoebe Newlin as organist.

CUSTOMS OF THE MIKADo.
His Majesty's Method of Dealing with
Minfsfern and peonIe.

His majesty's daily customs are very
regular. He always goes to his study
at nine a. m, and remains at work
there until four p. m. He reads and
signs all parliamentary laws and de-
crees.
When a cabinet minister addresses
his majesty about any public matter
he inquiries about the subject, the pur-
pose and condition, and decides it. He
is firm and not changeable. When he
decides matter once he cannot after
that be moved.
At the beginning Of the MatsulSata's
cabinet, parliament decided to reduce
the salaries of the cabinet ministers and
other government officers. The prime
minister, Count Matsul1ata, addressed
his majesty about it. His majesty did
not consent, and he said: MANY officers
cannot live upon fixed salary. Some
cabinet ministers have been obliged to
borrow money, and have advanced
money from my treasury to support
them. If the present cabinet ministers
retain their positions by borrowing
money, all cabinet ministers therefore
cannot be so. Therefore I cannot con-
sent to a reduction of salaries"
Count Matsul1ata retired from his
majesty. However, the cabinet once
more debated the question with the
count, and Matsukata went again to
consult the emperor.
His majesty was not inclined to see
him again, and sent an attendant to say
TO him: Il have already commanded
about the reduction Of salaries. / can
not see you any more"
The salaries were, therefore, not re-
duced.
His majesty understands the condi-
tion of the lower classes, and familiar
izes himself with the private conduct of
the cabinet ministers. When he reads
newspaper articles relating to the pri-
vate misconduct of any cabinet minis
ter, and attacking him, his majesty
sometimes smiles.
His majesty is fond of reading books
and newspapers. lie is especially fond
Of German books. He likes to compose
japanese poems, which he can do very
readily. His ability in that respect is
much admired by his attendants.
His majesty dislikes all pretense and
hypocrisy.
When it has been reported TO his ma
jesty that some Of his subjects have
given their lives in time of flood or
earthquake to preserve his majesty's
! picture, he has been much touched, but
he is anxious to discourage his sub
| iects from such QuiXotisrl, and to pre-
serve them from any but necessary
danger.
Withal, the emperor's life is a very
happy and peaceful one. blessed by the
love and respect of grateful subjects;
and when his majesty makes tour
anywhere in Japan without guards he
is in no danger, but is received every.
where with reverence and joy.-Japan.

CON EMPORARY OPINION.

What they are interest

vice for the money expended in main
tanning it. Our Republican friends
would do well to go slow in their work
CT re-establishing the old and discredit-
ed spoils system. The average man
may not know or care much about civil
service reform technically understood.
But he can judge by results. And the
party which turns the government S
service over to it's heelers,' and thus
disorganizes the administration and
impairs its efficiency, will learn to its
sorrow that the people are able to dis
criminate between efficient and ineffi-
cient service.
There is an assumption which the
spoiismen are fond OF making that the
people are longing for the old days
when men were appointed to office not
for the reason that they could perform
