GOOr GOVERNMENT.
Subject of an Address Delivered by

unteers of America.

Rev. II. A. Grant, b. D., of the How

the Volunteers of America yesterday
evening in their tent on the corner OF
Adams avenue and Mulb rry street, on
the survival of good government In
part he said:
"The Volunteers of America believe In
good government. Whether respecting
state or church, this progressive age
demands good government, and the
pcople who constitute government Will
not be satisfied with anything less.
Government is the authority of law,
and it's purpose is to protect the weak
from the encroachments of the strong,
and TO see that equity and justice are
measured to all. to promote its general
welfare both within and without
This is the principle of good gov

eminent is not founded on the above
fundamental measures or apostatizes
from the same it cannot be truthfully
called q good government; and justice
stands with her unerring scales ready
in obedience to the eternal decree Of
God to weigh and decree it as wanting
Government, practically speaking,
is as old as man, for in his innocence
he was under the government of moral
obedience. Before Nimrod, the mighty
hunter, laid the foundation Of Ninevah,
or ere Moses had given the moral law
from Sinai's mount, the patriachs lived
under peculiar rules and regulations.
II is said that the first formal govern

c., and from then until now, nations
have followed in the wake Of their
fortunate or unfortunate ancestors,
profting by their mistakes and wicked
ness, or falling into the same broad
and beaten road into the abyss of de-
struction.
'"In the government of states many
transitions have occurred. Despotism
and wickedness have from time to time
precipitated governments into ruin,
while on the other hand righteousness
has maintained them. Where are As
syria, Syria, Persia, Babylon and
Rome' They all died without a groan,
and the finger of time will soon efface
the inscription upon their monuments

A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM.

reduced from 81, 900 to $500 the amount
annually appropriated to pay the pre-

city, which amounts to about $3.50
The board must reduce the amount of
insurance carried one-half or hunt up
some additional money to pay the pre-

amount of insurance is being seriously
considered. The amount of insurance
carried on the city hall. which is al

REPORT ADOPTED.

The report was finally passed as pre-
sented after a deal of discussion and
general squahble. Mr. Schrieffer first
offered an amendment including No. 36
school in the list of schools wher a
s. increase was to be granted. Mr..
Jennings not TO be outdone moved that
No. 16 be also included.
Then Mr.. Schriefer jumped up and
moved that action be postponed, while
motions to adjourn were piling in from
all sides The motion to postpone ac-
tion was defeated and the report adopt
ed as presented.
Mr. Roche Immediately made a mo-
tion to adjourn, which was seconded,
and passed. Mr.. Jennings had the
floor all the tirre talking for a janitor
for No. 16 school and while the motion
to adjourn was being put he made a
neat little speech in stentorian tones
telling President Jayne what he didn't
know about parliamentary law and
several other things.
When he saw the members filing out
and realized that his cause was lost,
he informed President jayne that he
should learn a thing or two and that
if he put a motion to adjourn again
while he was talking that he'd do
things.
Mr.. Gibbons early in the evening
made a motion to increase the kinder
garten committee to five. President
Jayne appointed Mr.. Phillips in place
of himself and named Mr.. Barker and
Jennings as the other members. Mr.
Gibbons was appointed chairman of the
high and training school committee and
Mr. Williams was made a member.
