The Review learns with gratih-
cation of the magnificent success
attending the several revival ser
vices now being held In the city.
The chu: ches are crowded nightly
and aecessions to the churches are
numerous. A healthy spiritual
condition Is at the basis of the real
greatness of any community as 1t Is
of any institution or individual. 1t
gives stability 10 town or an in
stitution which nothing else can.
We trust that the good work will
go on for weeks, and the good that
shall come of 1t may be manifested
In many ways in every circle of the
city.
The Review will do everything
In Its power to make these services
successful In the future as 1t has In
the past. I'VE shall cheerfully pub
lish all notices and reports that may
be sent US. We have never yetfre
fused to publish willingly and glad
ly any church notice or report
handed us-reports to the con-
trary notwithstanding and shall
continue 10 lend the aid of this pa
per to every good work. The COL
umns of the Review are always
wide open for anything that will
elevate the community. or better
the condition OF our citizens.

There Is a man out In San Fran
cisco who should be watched. He
is Engene Schmitz.. a carpenter
whom the 1aboring clement recent
1y elevated to the mayorality of the
city by the Golden Gate, and who
Is through and through a prophet
of the dignity of labor. Mr..
,Schuitz has named as commis-
sioner of public works the pres
dent of the Teamsters' union, by
name of Mike Casey; for fire
commissioned. a member of the
Builders aad Pile Drivers union,
and for police commissioner mem
Der of the Sailors union. Whereat
the "staid and conservative bust
ness interests" of San Francisco
are in a state of alarm. They see
In the near future the wreck of mu-
aicipal government at the hands Of
the carpenter, the sailor, the dray-
man and the pile driver.
{ Bat why? Can a government by
laboring men be more Inefficient,
corrupt, or extravagant than has
government by professional and
business men ih nearly every great
city of the United States? Is man
less the equal of the lawyer, the
doctor, or the f6nancier, because
that man works with his hands
rather than his head? Those who
. who foresee the failure of labor In
its experiment In San Francisco
should remember the failure of pro
fessional men In positions of equal
or greater importance. They
should remember also that the
greatest rogues have always been
found In the "higher classes"
1t is quite likely that the laborer
In Office will show himself to be at
least the equal of the average Of
flee holder who has fattened at the
public Glib all the years of his life.
Ard If he do not show himself to
be- much the superior we shall be
very much mistaken.

to the outlook for business. II
there are well defined indications
of coming prosperity and increas.
ing traffic they are ready to engage
In extensions of their lines and fur
nishing increased facilities. If, on
the contrary, they see signs of f.
nancial stress ahead, betterments
are postponed and expenses cut
down wherever possible. Their
channels of information so ramify
every section of country and all
classes of trade that they seldom
misjudge the signs. The Phila-
|delphia North American argues
that these men. whose fingers are
constantly feeling the financial
pulse of the world, see no reason
to doubt the continuing pros
perity for this country. Con-
tracts already let, and bids asked
for by the railroads, show that
there will bessomething like two
hundred millions of dollars ex
pended by the corporations during
the coming year, and that a. least
.hree-fourths of that sum Is for
new track and additional equip
ment. With nearly every rolling
mill In the country ! running full
time, and the railroads preparing
to surpass all previous records IN
preparing for heavier traffic, the
people of the United States would
seem to have reason to look forward
to continuance Of the prosper
Gus conditions of the past two or
three years. Other indications are
found In the comparatively steady,
though slow, advance in wages in
various lines OF. industry. It is
gratifying to see that in many In
stances the concession Is volun-
tary one on the part of the employ
er, and even where 1t is given only
in response to demand on the
part of the workers the change Is
made with but little apparent fric-
ton.

The United States navy was new

yet most formidable increase Is
contemplated for the coming year.
Forty war vessels of all classes will
be built in 1892, including one bat
tleship. three protected cruisers, Is
torpedo boats. I6 destroyers and
and four monitors. The navy at
present comprises 225 vessels avail
able for service and 60 under con-
;struction. We have In commission
10 battleships, two armored cruisers,
IS protected cruisers, six unprotect-
ed cruisers, nine monitors, 70 gun
boats and six auxiliary cruisers,
with host of torpedo boats, tugs
and other small vessels. Under
construction are eight battleships,

cruisers, 10 deStroyerS, nine tOrpe.

of the Holland type, four monitors
and one gunboat.
The Asiatic squadron has been
placed on a footing equal to that of
Russia. Great Britain, or Japan.
Thirty three war vessels of various
sorts, with supply ships and col
Tiers, look after our interests In the
far East. The North Atlantic
squadron, now cruising in the Car

easier to keep town going than to
start 1t forward once 1t has gone
asleep. Slstersville Is not asleep
yet by any means, but the time Is
coming when 1t shall be If effort In
another direction Is not put forwai d
In the very near future.
What does the death of the town
mean? 1t means loss of values.
Real estate will fall, rents will de-
cline, houses will be empty. grass
will grow In the streets, laborers
will leave, business will become
stagnant, business men will seek
other c1imes those who do not
succumb to the sheriff, desolation
will reign supreme over the bust
ness Interests of the city, and we
will be no better than some of the
surrounding towns which we talk
about when we want a comparison
for something absolutely without
life.
Do we want such a condition
here? We will have 1t sure if We
do not put our shoulders to the
wheel, and push forward the move
ment for new 1narufa cturies.
Nothing can prevent 1t. The oil
business won't keep the town up
1t is getting too far away. Sisters
vile will always be a center for
trading In the southwest field, but
the practical operating will of ne
cessity be at such a distance that
but little of It's benefit will come to
this city. That gone, nothing re-
mains but new industries or stag
nation. We can have the former;
we don't want the latter. There Is
now before the people PROPOSE
ton that Is eminently fair and
Equitable. 1t Is not a donation but
a participation In the stock and
ownership of a concern that Is
asked. You will have something

made money, you will get your
money back. If 1t don't pay any
dividends at all. the benefit 1t will
be TO the city Is sufficient to give
you adequate returns in another di
rection.
We trusl that the business men
will so after this plant with the
same determination they did after
the first plant, and if they do, we
shall have a thousand more people
