sembly districts marched into the hall with
bands playing. and the lower floor of the build
ing was filled with men who listened and ap-
plauded for two and half hours. The plat

TO TEST THE LAW.

The ordinance providing for the
borrowing of an additional $4,000 10
complete the construction ana equip.
menr Of the fire engine houses of the
city, was defeated by Council last
night by the decisive vote of Is to /.
Council does not approve of the
Boards spending $4,000 in excess of
the amount (SoGO0Ol which only year
ago was estimated to be sufficient to
construct and equip the fire stations,
and so 1t refuses to provide additional
means even though the result of the
refusal means that the Board must
stop the work of completing the i'm
provement of the fire service.
Whether the liability uf the city
ceases with this action on the part
of Council, remains 10 he seen. The
Commissioners claim that contract
has been already entered into, with
the concurrence of cOuncR, for the
purchase of equipment for the new
fire stations, aud that the summary
refusal of Council at this time to
provide the means for meeting these
obligations viii not relieve the city
of its liabilities to pay thcra.
II Is likely that the FIRMS which
contracted to sell the equipment to
the city VIII bring suit to enforce the
payment OF their claims, in which
event there viii be an effective test
of the Solicitors ruling that under
certain conditions the city may escape
liability for the payment of claims
even after its agents have contracted

A MERlTED CRITICISM.

In a sermon to the congregation of
Gmce NJ II. church, at New York,
Sunday evening, Rev. l.. A. Banks,
formerly of Cleveland, criticised James
K. Keene, the Wall Street manipulation,
for having declared in II recent inter
view: "All men are bad; don't trust
them"
"a man who can make such u state
ment as that emnnating from the
philosopher of the money mart" said
Rev. Banks, knowing it to be false,
must have sadly forgotten his duties,
and Is the greatest Of sinners, for he
blasts the soul life of our youth.
II want to contradict with vehem
ence the statement. The engineer on
the rushing locomotive who dies nj
the throttle when he could have jump
ed to safety, the thousands of weak
and frail creatures who bear burdens
much too heavy for their shoulders
without complaining and in obedience
to duty-all tend TO show that the
Stock Exchange philosophers state
meDt is lie.
Tell boy that every one is bad,
and what have you done? You have
damned his life and you have muir
dered his soul, because you have
crushed his ideals, You might as
well have broken his neck Tell him
that business all means the throwing
of sand in the eyes of your fellow
men, that il is all robbery. and YOU
will have told him that he cannot sue
ceed unless lie becomes n thief. You
will have crushed out his soul Wis
ION and have made n human mole out
