beg to differ and protest. 1 was present
at the said meeting, and can say that the
remarks made by the speaker can be cor
roborated by every man that love good
citizenship and that desires a clean ma
tional, state or municipal government.
The remarks made was not expected 10
be endorsed by any who upholds the
present condition of affairs and who hold
high influential position in the community
and in whose congregation appears the
mlllionaires who today sway a tremend-
Gus power with their wealth in corrupt
ing the body politiet We all know The
perilous drift of politicts today, and the
power money sways in their corruption
We also know that character and prin-
ciple are no longer considered as a prere-
quisite to political honor and that men
seek political preferment for personal
ends; and that integrity and truth find
no longer a place in our political life.
And 1t can be said to the shame of the
church that the conscience of men are
so hardened that we find them very often
stirring the fires of Gods alters with one
hand, whilst with the other they give
readily of their wealth to purchase for
them what honor and integrity would not
do. This money is given under the pre-
tense of paying compaign expenses; but
alas, every honest and upright citizen
know that the money Is used by the con-
sent of the giver to the corruption of
our body politict. 1 fail TO see why Rev.

did unless the speaker cut to close to him.

males; as to ages, 3,746 were persons
Of 16 years and over, and 555 under that
age.
In addition to the 4,459 cards Cancelled
under their two-year limit, 112 others
were surrendered or Cancelled sooner,
making a total OF 4,571; leaving S096
cards in force at the close OF the wear
1897. There are also 232 extra, or stu
dents cards, now valid Gssued to reg
ular card holders, but not included in

At the close of the last report the
library had 27,943 volumes. Accessor-
ies of 1897 numbered 3,l91 volumes, of
which 324 were by gift and exchanges,

kIMBALL
PIANO

Great musicians use Kimballs. The
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from 81, 900 to $4,000 for each
performance must be accepted as hav-
ing weight. They, at least, escape the
charge Of not knowing what they ara
talking about. Lillian Nordica says:
'The more l use my Kimball piano the
better l like it," Jean De Reszke says:
1--WE have concluded to purchase KIM
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: THE Kimball
piano is first-class in every respect"
Some Of the most beautiful cases in
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. I have some fine large pianos,
all colors. from $3.50 to $3.50. on easy
terms, and a term of lessons free.

Clean Out the Ditch.

The attention of the authorities
ought to be called to the condition of
the ditch on Tazewell Avenue. Stag.
nant water is standing in the ditch
from Mr.. l.. G. Wingo's residence to
the corner of College Street, nearly
the entire distance. The recent
heavy rains filed up and choked the
small culverts, and hence left things
i'm bad shape. A small outlay in
that section may prevent much sick
ness and probably death among the
people. The people living on the
lower end of that street and in that
section might as well, they say, be
miles in the country, so far as pro-
lection and cOnveniences of the town
are concerned. We wish some one
would remind "thc powers that ben
of these things. Mayor Doak will
have it attended to, we feel sure, us
he recognizes the right and looks
diligently after tie tax payers under
his care.
