The President and His Pastor.

The President is having trouble with the
pastor of his church as we'll as with the
politicians of his party. He has been at
tending the Metropolitan Methodist
church, of which Rev. Hugh Johnston is
pastor, but if what is stated in Washing
ton dispatches can be relied upon, he will
not go to that church again as long as
the Rev. Mr.. Johnston is it's minister. 1t
seems that on Thanksgiving day the min
lister made an attack upon the Catholic
religion. The President didn't like that
because he doesn't want it to appear that
he approves attacks upon that or any
other religion. Last Sunday the minister
said some pretty harsh things about the
Sunday newspapers. Again the President
felt that If he was to keep on good terms
with the press of the country he couldn't
afford to appear to sympathze with his
pastors views. 1t is alleged that he will
not go again to the Metropolitan Metho-
dist church while the Rev. Mr.. Johnston
is its pastor for fear he will be put in the
position of holding opinions which might
interfere with his political plans.
II a Minister has to take into account
in the preparation of his sermons the va
rious ways Ia which he might hurt the
Presidents political prospects by his pull
pit utterances, there cannot. be a great
deal of satisfaction in having so distin-
guished man as member of his con-
gregation. If the Rev. Mr.. Johnston
wants to express his disapproval of the
Catholic, religion and of the Sunday news
papers he should get church which is
not attended by politicians. The average
politician is sensitive to a degree in re-
spect to anything that is likely to injure
his popularity.

Guests Must Eat Chickens.

An Applied Fable

Two young men were seated in a down
town restaurant, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. Dinner had been ordered. and
time meanwhile was given to moraliziug.
One youth, wearing a self-complacent
look, expressed himself thus:
I say, my boy. that lecture of Inger-
soils the other night was Assault to
Christianity. L once had some admiration
for his ability, but when he fails to give
us Christians any credit it either argues
ms sehlilty or lnsincerity. Ingersoll never
ADMIRED the virtue of consistency any,

such good dinner for a trifle. OF course
L don't drink, and never did And, now
that makes me think have got to pay up
this pledge to-day"
Hereupon the speaker drew from his in
side pocket a pledge for IS to the Anti-Sa-
loon League, with the remark that it was
cause deserving the support of all Chris
tan gentlemen. A little later the tongue
of the speaker was rapturously testing
the quality of a rich pudding with lots of
brandy sauce over all.
Il don't subscribe to the Anti-Saloon
League" said his commonplace compan-
ion, though 1 think it is an excellent
thing. / delight in good lecture, and

The fox and the cat went walking AS
they journeyed they espied a wolf which
had seized upon an innocent lamb Said
the fox: The wolf is depraved beyond re-
demption to eat innocent meat To which
the cat purred assent. The traveller soon
came to an old mill, and the fox saw a
chicken, which he Immediately secured,
while the cat pounced upon mouse, and
soon both were devouring their coveted
morsels. Meanwhile, a spider from his
web in an Old corner of the mill gave ono
look of disgust at the carnivorous hypo-
critics and went back and ate fly"
But the temperance youth finished his
branded pudding just the same.

4 step Backward.

For a long time labor had everything
pretty much its own way in Massachu-
sets. What 1t wanted was granted. 1t
had the votes and the politicians were
obedient one of the things il wanted and
obtained was the limiting of the time OF
actual work in factories to eight hours
day The cutting down of the hours Of
labor was not accompanied by a reduc-
ton of wages. At that time the factories
were prosperous and there was no good
reason against making concessions to the
mill operatives.
But times have changed. The life OF the
factory Industries is now at stake. The
Massachusetts legislature at its next ses-
sion, is to be asked to repeal the law Inn
ting the hours of labor. Win labor con-
sent to the repeal?
The New England mills are contending
with competition in the south, and with
an overstocked market. More cotton goods
are being produced than the market de-
mands. What benefit would accrue to the
New England mills, therefore, if wages
should be cut and the hours Of labor IN
creased? Southern competition wouldn't
be overcome, and 1t wouldn't be long be-
fore the situation of the mills would be
as bad as it is now.
Under the circumstances, therefore, it
would not be surprising if labor should
object to a reduction of wages and to an
increase in the number of hours of labor
per week The mills may have TO shut
down for a while They say that wouldn't
help them greatly, because their compel
itors would simply increase their output
thus keeping the market supplied.
AS far as we can see. the only hope of
the New England manufacturers is to
move their factory plants to the cotton
fields With the cheaper labor of the
south and cheaper cotton-transportation
being saved-they could do better than
they are doing in New England. With
the help of New England, the south could
not only manufacture pretty nearly the
entire cotton crop but could, in great
measure, control the price of cotton goods,
and hence of the market for the raw ma
teriaI.

The city Tax budget.

The city council, in deciding not to raise
the tax rate and in cutting down appro-
priations, acted wisely. There are no
doubt many things the commissions would
like TO do in the way of making improve
meuts. but by the strictest economy they
can get along on the amounts they are
to receive in the budget, and economy Is
what is now demanded. If business were
in highly prosperous condition and the
tax rate low there would be Httle or no
opposition 10 an increase of taxation for
purposes which are set forth in the esti-
mates, but as a matter of fact, the tax
payers are not financially able 10 bear any
increase in the tax burden, sand besides
the tax rate is already very high, and,
that, too. on an assessment that is, iii
many instances, above the market value
Of property.
Those who have the interests of the city
in their charge must keep in mind that
the city cannot prosper if the tax rate
is so high that it prohibits the establish
ment Of new enterprises and new kinds Of
business and drives away men whose
money Is invested in securities. While ii
may be true that the amount raised by
taxation is not greater than is raised In
other cities having about the same popu-
lafion, the fact cannot be overlooked that
nearly half the population in this city is
composed of negroes, who pay little or no
taxes. They contribute, of course, to the
prosperity of the city by their labor but
they are not property owners, and, hence,
not taxpayers.
The taxpayers in New York, Philadel-
phia and other large cities complain OF
their tax rate, and yet their taxes are
light compared to taxes in this city. In
Philadelphia the tax rate for city county
and state purposes is only $1.S5 on the
800, and property is not assessed at more
than two-thirds of it's market value and
the tax rate in New York is not much
higher on the same kind of an assessment,
while in this city the rate for city, county
and state purposes is well on toward
S2.75 on the 500, and property is assessed
at its fun market value.
The tendency is to constantly increase
expenditures. Each department of the
city government wants its appropriation
increased, and it requires strong hand
TO keep the cost Of running the govern
ment from increasing faster than the
city's increase in wealth and population
If, however. the city is to prosper and
grow the tax burden must be kept within
reasonable limits. even when such i'm
provements as paved streets, water works
and house drainage are being made.

Emily Busby, an actress, is a joker. She
is always on the lookout for the oppor-
tunity TO play prank, and as she is a
married woman, her husband has to keep
bis eyes open, or find himself the butt of
a joke. In New York the other day Emily
felt particularly humorous, and determin-
ed to play a good one on her husband. She
pretended to swallow big draught of car
bolie' acid. Her husband was frightened
half out of his wits. He ran for a doctor,
and the doctor ran back with big stom-
ach pump and an ambulance. The woman
was bundled into the vehicle, off to hos
pital on 10 cot, and the stomach pump
was set to work in double quick time, be-
fore she could explain. After the pumping
Emily explained, as well as she could,
that il was all joke on her husband. 1t
is to be hoped she enjoyed it.
