the interest of capital instead of
the common people, in opposition
to party demands and platform
promises was the cause for the
overthrow of the tables. There
are manywedded to party regard
less of means used or ends
sought. but the balance of pow
er is in the strength of an ever
increasing Independent vote,
that comes to TIE rescue in ev-
cry State, and in almost every
county where plain duty is seen.
There need be no fear of Mex
icanizing this country, but the
price of liberty is said to be eter-
nal vigilance. If one party fails
the other will be forth coming.
If individuals misrepresent or
misrule, they will be deprived Of
their power. Corrupt men can
not long enjoy the confidence Of
the people, nor combined wealth
override the intelligence and
patriotism Of the voter.

Sure my father appeared at the

That's the way he was dressed at

doesn't dress UP in any 'sumptuous
splendor.' He doesn't believe in it.

MINERS EMPIRE THEATRE
TO OPEN ON CHRISTMAS.

Thu opening performance at Miners
New Empire Theatre, in Washington
street, will occur on Christmas Day,
The new theatre has been under con-
struction for some time, and play
goers have been awaiting with interest
the notice of its opening bill. The
structure, an immense steel and con-
crete affair, with a seating capacity of
1900, cost over $4,000 100. 1t is thor
oughly modern throughout, and the
builders have left nothing out which
would add in any way to its tireproof
qualities. As a result the building is
considered to be one of the safest
structures in the city, and it is ac-
knowledged the handsomest of all OF
Miners theatres.
The opening bill for matinee Christ
mas Day will be Miners "Jardin de
Paris Girls including Miners Merry
Minstrel Maids" In addition to these,
there will be two added attractions In
the shape of a musical number offered
by the Cora Y~oungblood Corson SeXtet
and a comedy acrobatic act by the

CHURCH HYMNS SILLY AND
TRIVIAL, SAYS MINISTER

CINCINNATI, o., Dec. 19.-Rev. c.
w. Blodgett, pastor of the Clifton
Methodist Church, of this city, took
occasion yesterday to express his opin-
Jon of modern church music ranging
from the rollicking hymns to the elias
steal cantatas.
Modern hymns such as are beint
sung in u churches are silly and triv.
tal. The most conscientious work done
by many of our church choirs consists
in drawing their pay envelopes. Thu
real music of the church must depend
on the minister and the congregation,
declared the pastor at a meeting o
Methodist ministers.
