the splendid work of our faithful employees in

one of our employees deserves the highest praise
for good work, yet special credit belongs to our

SALARY OF CONGRESSMAN.

TIE matter Of increasing the salaries Of Con
u gressmen and Senators is still before Con-
gross. Senator Gallingcr has offered bill for
that purpose and which raises the yearly salary
from $4,000 to $500 We fail TO sec any good
reason why the House defeated such a measure
few days ago, and it would not have occurred
were it not that the Democrats were trying to
play peanut politics. Ii is not disputed that the
present salary is insufficient to enable Congress-
man with family to live in a proper way in
Washington, which is a very expensive city
There are very few men in Congress who could
not in their private life earn more than $1,000 or
even $500 year We can afford to pay our
representatives at Washington a good salary
and it would be better for the people 70 do it and
to take from them the expense of being depend
ent upon 'pickngs," fees "raSe-off etc, to
meet their expenses We desire to commend
Congressman Burton for voting for the bill in
the House and we trust the Gallnger bill Will
be heartily supported by Senators dupont and
Alice.

Editor Tho Evening journal.
There Is no doubt but that churches
are losing their hold upon the men.
am speaking generally. as know that
there are some churches where the
male part Of the congregation forms a
large majority Of the whole. There Gre
two reasons, perhaps, for the lack OF
attendance Of men at churches. One
is the class Of sermons preached by tho
clereymen, usually dry and unintersyt-
ing and strictly theological and the
other is that the world at large IS Of
fering so many and varied but withal
clean ADJUSTMENTS that the men are be-
ing weaned away from things spirit
ual
Now, in my opinion. adaptability must
be the keyword with which the situ-
alton is to &c met by the churches.
mean this The worldly weapons are
the means with which to fight the
world. Therefore the churches must
adopt such wodlrly means as will bring
the male wanderers back into the spir-
iual world. I think my assertion on
this point win be borne out when those
churches arc closely examined which
have a large attendance Of men. t.
will he found that they are the
churches which havo active mems

equipped with reading GYM

There are many feelings OF regret in this State
over the death OF Bishop McCabe, Of the NIetho-
dist Episcopal Church who was well-known IN
this conference. The bishop was one Of the fore
most religionsts OF the country, and an aggres-
sive alert Methodist Church furnished him with
ample scope for his many talents lie was noted
in war, the friend of Presidents, and in peace his
triumphs have not been less. His death is a loss
to the church, and will be mourned throughout
the nation. lie was devoted to the welfare Of
his country and to his church, while the cause
Of all Christianity found firm supporter in him.
In making a list OF those to be remembered
Christmas day do not forget the street railway
employees, newsboys, letter carriers and police
men. They are all faithful servants and some
token OF appreciation from those they serve
would make happier Christmas for both giver
and receiver.
