THE RACE is NOW ON.
Between Ordinances introduced by
Messrs. Roche and Morris.

The race between the two rival or
dinances introduced by Select Coun-
Gilman Roche and Common Council
man NJ. V. Morris is now on in earn
est, Mr.. Morris ordinance provides
for the appointment of two permanent
men for the Niagara and Liberty Hose
companies, and takes the money for
the payment of the same out of the
appropriation of 1500 for clerk hire
in the controllers department which
was recently vetoed by the mayor.
Mr. Roche's ordinance re-appropri-
ates the item of $1,000 for clerk hire.
Mr.. Morris ordinance was reported
favorably upon by the fire committee
last Thursday night and passed two
readings. He will call it up for third
reading at next Thursday nights
meeting and If 1t passes will send 1t
over to select. The select ordinance
is now in the hands of the estimates
committee of that branch, who will
report favorably upon il next Thurs
day night. Mr.. Roche will then call
it up for first and second readings
The idea seems to prevail that both
measures will pass the branch in
which they We're introduced, and that
the select measure wifi be killed in
common and the common measure
killed In select. In the meantime the
controllers department is getting along
without any clerk hire, but Controller
Howell isn't worrying and says he will
get ii in some manner yet.

ADDRESS OF REV. ATWOOD
Is the General Superintendent of the
Universalist Church in This
Country-Theme of His Talk.

Rev. /. NJ. Atwood, Of New York city,
general superintendent of the Univer.
salist church in this country, preached
a most excellent sermon before a large
congregation last night in the All
Souls Universalist church. He spoke
upon the fundamental doctrine of the
Universalist denomination, which is
universal love. Among other things
he said:
THE law of Christ is love, but there
are various expressions Of love. There
Is the expression of friendship, for in
stance, that affinity between two per-
sons having a uniformity of desire and
unity Of aim, and which softens the
rudeness and roughness of life. Then
there is the friendship of the sexes,
which is an ordinance of God. The
love of Christ, however. is that ex-
preston of love that makes us choose
the good in our neighbor and that
makes us follow that choice with a
course of conduct on our own part
calculated to bring out the good we
have chosen for our neighbor.
I'm this connection we must under
stand that our neighbor means every
human being in the world and that
there must be no drawing of lines.
Artemus Ward once said, when told
that this principle was the basic prin-
ciple of Universalism, That's all right,
but I'd like to pick my man. There
is too much of a similar sentiment
prevalent today. We may find it hard
to choose the best good for some peo-
pie, but we must without respect to
their previous merits or demerits.
Some few weeks ago / heard Rev.
DR.. Lyman Abbot take three-quarters
of an hour to tell why he was not a
Universalist, and as l sat and listened
to him l thought in how much shorter
time 1 could tell why / am a Univer-
salist. The reason l am a Universal
ist is simply because 1 believe that
God is a Universalist and If He were
not would not dare to be. How do 1
know that God is a Universalist? 1t
is just as demonstrabIe as any prob
lem in mathematics.
God is a Uniyersalist because He
chooses the highest good for every hu-
man soul. He doesn't choose evil for
any SOUL but good for all. There
comes time in the life of every hui
man being who when all the evil
pleasures of life have been tasted and
experienced, finds that the path ends
and that further passage is impossi-
BILE. As he cannot go further there is
nothing for him to do but TO turn and
enter his Fathers house, as did the
prodigal son. / am a Universalist be-
cause Universalism teaches me to
choose what is the highest and real
good of every human soul"

ring for a few minutes, and then the
general suggested that as they Were
not reaching a conclusion they should
go on to something else. The Moros
objected to the occupation for military
purposes without specific permission
of the sultan. 1t developed that that
was because they thought the land vas
TO be taken without payment. When
he found out that he would get money
for 1t he yielded so readily as to create
the impression that he wished we
would ocupy his whole dominion at
once.
There was q provision about slavery
which had given the general some anX-
iety. He was afraid that the Moros
would object to his plan for the pur-
chase of freedom on the ground that it
would terminate slavery, which was
exactly what he was aiming to do.
They did object to the clause, but not
on that ground. He had fixed an up
set price which they thought was too
high. With great show of deliberations,
the general consented that it should be
reduced. 1t was a great victory fof
Moro diplomacy.
THE CANNY SULTAN.
"The secretary did most of the talk
ing for the Moros, but the sleepy and
bored sultan knew very well what he
was saying. Two or three times when
the sultan looked as If he were about
to sing, There Is a Green Hill Far
Away he cut into the discussion with
sudden directness that showed how
closely he followed everything that
a m do n
speeches, which all those who under
stood them received with absolute i'm
passivty. Twice they asked Kalvi for
his opinion. He volunteered nothing,
but when asked he made a talk which
evidently did not suit. None of TIE
discussion among themselves was in
terpreted, so that the Americans could
tell only by appearances what was go
ing on.
"The followers of the Datos got tired
of all the talk after awhile, and strolled
out into the yard to look at the guards
and talk it all over. Kalvi's men went,
too, and finally Kalvi went. Soon after
ward there was a commotion in the
yard. The instant thought of every
American there was the same-the bad
blood between Kalvi and the sultan
mad found expression in eight of their
men. The three Datos with the sultan
jumped out of their chairs and rushed
out of the room, clutching at their big
knives as they went. 1t was a nervous
minute, and we wished that we had
not given such a remarkable evidence
Of our confidence in the MOros as to
bring the four ladies with us. But
whatever he thought, no American
gave any sign that he was in the least
disturbed. General Bates gave one
sharp look down the line of his little
party, and saw everybody at least out
wardly calm. The ladies were as cool
as the men. The generals eyes snapped.
and that was all In another minute
word came from below that the guard
had arrested man. That was the enc
of it, Kalvi came back and sat down.
His men trooped in again. Sweet peace
brooded over us once more"

done, the members would refrain from
introducing any petitions for a few
months. but some one would bring one
in before long and then all would go
back on their good resolutions and the
generations would be passed by the
dozen.
