The funeral of Senator Vance on Mon- day prevented the delivery of Senator Smith's tariff speech, and so the New Jer- sey statesman was obliged to postpone it until late yesterday afternoon. He took the floor upon the conclusion of the speech of Senator McLaurin and launched at once into a denunciation of the income tax. “I oppose it,” he said, “and shall do everything in my power to defeat it; first, because it is unnecessary; second, because it is unjust; third, because it is unsuc- cessful; fourth, because it is unpopular; fifth, because it is undemocratic; sixth, because it is un-American; seventh, be- cause it is unwise, and, finally, on genera) principles, because it is unworthy of an intelligent government, supposed to rep- resent a free and enlightened people. “The whole proceeding is nothing else than the exercise of tyranny by a chance majority over a minority. Because we of the east have accumulated and are accu- mulating money by hard work, we must stand and deliver. And such a policy, I say with the utmost respect for mistaken Judgment, but frankly and plainly to those who err willfully, is more than unjust. It is ore dishonest and wholly discredi- The Tax Unnece: He argued from the estimates of reve- nues made by Senator Voorhees that the tax was unnecessary, and declared that in the east, at least, It was unpopular. He denied that the democratic party at the Chicago convention had pledged itself, as had been stated in the House, and said: “As a democrat and a member of that convention, I repudiate any such interpre- tation of the platform of 1892, The demo- cratic party is not a free trade party, and the mere fact that an insignificant number of free-trade theorists have ingrafted themselves upon it cannot make it so. ‘Taxes collected at the custom houses have been the chief source of federal rev nue, and such they must continue to be.’ Nor can the utterance of a congressional convention in Missouri nor the assertion of its candidate that an income tax is ‘just and right’ controvert a principle de- clared by Thomas Jefferson and confirmed by every national convention since the or- ganization of the party.” Futher on in his argument he said: “This ts not democracy. It is cowadice and folly. If disapproval of such a tend- ency involves the reproachful designation of ‘conservative,” then I am a conserva- tive.” Why the East Opposes the Law. In conclusion, Mr. Smith said: “Do you understand now why we of the east op- pose this law? And is it a proper return for the help we have given you in ridding yourselves of oppression to turn around at the first opportunity and inflict upon us a law so odious that we cannot hope to make it seem endurable to our people? Is extinction of the party in the north the penalty we democrats must pay for ex- tending aid and sympathy to you of the south? If this ‘entering wedge’ shall be driven in until the next national campaign resolves into a contest between the re- publicans and the populists, who will be responsible for the sectional Ines upon which it will be decided? And where do you think we democrats of the north will stand in such a struggle? Which way will our interests le? “I have tried to discuss this question without passion or prejudice. But, sir, I say plainly here and now that when the struggle does come, as it seems bound to | come if this beginning be made, I for one | shall be found fighting for my own. Par- | | Speech ty ties grow weak when they make dis- regard of one’s own convictions and dis- loyalty to one’s own people the test of fealty. And I do not hesitate to add that even the misrule of the republican party is to be preferred to the communism of the populists and socialists. If that be treason, then the self-appointed censors of Minnesota do right to lay the charge at m: But, sir, whatever may be their | :dgment, God forbid that I should ever | betray those whom I represent in this} chamber or fail to do that which, in my own judgment, best conserves the inter- ests of the democratic party and of the American people.’ ———__+2+__—_. Mrs. Steele's Voice Recital. The fourth of Mrs pele’s voice recitals occurred on Saturday evening. Her pleas-| ant parior was filled by an attentive and| appreciative audience. The program con- sisted of songs by Gounod, Cowen, Sullivan, Handel, Von Weber and Henschel. In all| |her numbers distinctness of enunciation and careful observance of the author's in- door. tention make her efforts effective. Mr. Claude Miller proved a most acceptable pianist, playing with brilliancy and fine expression selections fr Chopin and | Liszt.

The Exercises Participated in by Scveral Presbyterian Pastors—Rev. Dr. Easton’s Defense of the Faith. ‘The members of the First Presbyterian Church, located on 41-2 street between C and D streets northwest, turned out in force last evening to be present at and participate in the installation service of Rev, Adolos Allen as co-pastor. The young man who is to assist Rev. Byron Sunderland in the work of the church is a native of Iowa City, Iowa. His early Ife was spent in New York, and later he attended and finally graduated from Princeton College. It was evident from the large attendance when the exercises began at o'clock that the membership of the church as a whole was interested in the new co-pastor. On the pulpit platform were seated Rev. B. F. Bittinger, D. D., Rev, Joseph T. Kelly, Rev. George B. Patch, D.D., and Rev. Byron Sunderland, D.D. Dr. Bittinger presided. The order of exercises was opened with an organ prelude. This was followed by Mozart’s “Invocation” anthem, the prayer of igvocation closing with the Lord’s Pray- er, the congregation joining. Hymn 116 and Psalm cxil followed in the order named. The congregation stood and joined in the oria Patria,” after which a Scripture lesson was read, and then Wagner’s‘anthem, “Be Thou, O God, Exalted Hig The sermon of the occasion was delivered by Rev. Thomas Chalmers Easton, D. D, and was entitled “The Old Gospel the Best,” the text being Luke v, 39. “Why shou!d the guegis at a banquet be asked suddenly to change the old wine, the age-softened juice of the vintage?” asked Dr. Easton in open- ing his discourse in defense of the Bible. ‘Why change what we have been drinking for something not so inspiring, that lacks was sung. what the wine drinkers call the bead? the old is good enough. Truth {s unchangeable. Moral truth cannot 1, but must be révealed 0 sald ‘I am the God, its author, is the ‘day, lay and forever. This is wer of the church to our modern es, who demand a surrender of all faith upon the specious plea that the pro- gress of the age demands new thought, new doctrines, new wine—a new Gospel. ‘The old is better.’ ” Defense of the Old Faith. The speaker then considered at length some permanent distinctions between the old faith and the new and why we should love the old wine of the vintage. His theme was divided into four parts, namely: “The old is historical, the new 1s speculative; the old is positive, while the new is nega- tive; the old faith ts instructive, while the new is destructive, and a new religion no more required than a new world.” “May the Holy Ghost, the chief executive of the God head, attend the proclamation of a free, full, eternal salvation, here in years to come as in years past Christ may see the travail of His soul delighted. Amen and amen," Dr. Easton. The constitutional questions as contained in the form of government of the church ever be discov: from the mind ‘Truth, were propounded to Rev. Mr. Allen by Dr. Pittinger,and in reply thereto the former an- red: “I do.” 1 Joseph T. Kelly de- ‘It | Philadelphia, gives me great pleasure to welcome you to your new charge and your new work,” said Mr. Kelly. “A few days ago when my dear friend, Dr. Sunderland, invited me to address you this evening, I hesitated before accepting the honor, but then my memory went back ten years, when Dr. Sunderland spoke to me when I was Mm- stalled as I now talk to you, and I hesitat- ed no longer.” Much good advice was given by Mr. Kelly, and he ended this talk by congratulating Mr. Allen on having the opportunity to accept a call to the First Presbyterian Church of Washington. Cush Also Needed, In charging the people, Rev. Dr. Patch spoke in a humorous vein. “You should take good care of your pastor,” began Dr. Patch. “Lookout for his good sleep and digestion. Pay him his salary promptly and thus help him to sleep and eat. He cannot pay his grocer bill with any amount of plety; it must be good hard cash, just like any other man’s. Don’t work him too hard. Sympathize with him. He has a heart that may feel pangs. If he preaches a good sermon, tell him so. Co-operate with your pastor, help him to carry out his plans and pray for him. I bid you all God speed and I hope to see this churcfi grow.” The prayer of installation was delivered by Rev. Dr. Sunderland. “Onward, Chris- tian Soldiers,” was sung with a will, the newly installed co-pastor pronounced his First Presbyterian Church and the exer- cises were at a close. Members of the church then came forward to the new co-pastor and gave him their right hand in token of cordial reception and affection- ate regard. oe TWO THOUSAND COMING, An Army of Workingmen Expected From Philadelph The arrangements for the departure of the delegation of Philadelphia workingmen to Washington on Friday, where a demon- stration will be made against tae Wilson bill, have been completed. It is expected that fully 4,000 wage earners will go from under the auspices of the Workingmen’s Protective Tariff League, of which John Stewart is president. George Welsh, who is a leading member of the or- ganization, says that samples of goods made in Philadelphia wil! be carried to the capital, and that proof will be adduced that the Wilson bill, if passed, will ruin the industries of Philadelphia and bring wages down still further. —>—_—_- An Odd Fellows’ Visitation.

Work on the extension of Prospect avenue has been stopped through the efforts of the officials of Georgetown College, who claim that the university has a title to the north half of the street. Georgetowners dispate this title. Surveyors whom they have em- ployed say that the entire street is public property, and examiners who have looked into the matter report that the title is clear- ly invested in the District. The George- towners are informally raging this morn- ing over the action of the college. Formal action will be taken at the next meeting of the Citizens’ Association. The Georgetowners claim that not only is Prospect street government property, but also several of the streets now inclosed within the college wall. Several times the improvenfent of this street has been at- tempted. Objections have always been filed by the college. This time the Georgetowners say the col- lege must substantiate its claim. 1 P street, the Georgetowners say, has been cut right off by a stone wall. No formal to construct this extension across P street. The contract for the improvement of Prospect street was awarded to William Harnedy about one week ago. Material was hauled on the spot, but has been taken away again. It is said that the college bases its claim to the north half of the street through the planting, some years ago, of a row of shrubs, Musicale at St. John’s, The musicale last night at St. John’s Church was a luxury for the artistic. Among the participants were some of the best known singers in Washington. In an- ticipation of an excellent program being rendered a splendid crowd assembled in the parish hall. Miss Grace McCulloch, always in good voice, sang, with appreciative sweet- ness, “For All Eternity.” Mr. Watson, the leader of the Christ Church surpliced choir, entertained the audience with the mag- nificent base solo, “Let All Obey.” Miss Simonds captured the house with “Yearn- ings,” and Mrs. Daisy Fox, whose of the piano permitted her to represent the District in the woman's builaing concerts at the Chicago fair, played selections from Schubert. Miss Appleby, the violinist, charmed all with Mascagni’s entermezzo, and on an encore played a march. Mr. Turpin, the tenor, rendered “Proud As Queen,” and then the favorite, Madrid.” The accompanists of the evening were Mr. W. E. Middleton, Miss Gertrude McCullocu and Miss Aleen Bell. Encores were demanded of all. The stage was a thirg of beauty. After the musicale came refreshments. Liberal Hosts. The entertainment of the ministers and delegates to the Methodist Protestant con- ference here ccst $2,000. This amount was subscribed by the congre.ation. Accommo- dations were plentiful. There were 275 min- jisters and delegates and 25 college profes- sors and others interested particularly church work. Dumbarton’s New Pastor. Today Dumbarton’s new pastor, Rev. Dr. Stitt, will take up his residence perma- rently in Georgetown. Until the vacation of the church parsonage by the Rev. Geo. Eliott he will reside with Mr. Isaac Birch, opposite the church. Dr. Elliott is on the road to recovery, though improving slowly. West Georgetown Charch. The old West Georgetown Church has be- come so insignificant in the minds of the Methodist Church officials that it has been taken from the list of those to be provided for. Its congregation has dwindled to a handful of old stand-bys. No minister is in charge, though occasionally one on the su- peranuated list conducts services by re- quest. The title to the property has been acquired by the Dumbarton Street Church. The West Georgetown Church, which is about fifty years old, is a brick structure, located on the corner of 35th and T streets. The Linthicum Entertainment. On Friday evening the* Linthicum stu- dents close their regular season with an anniversary entertainment. Interest in the event is being manifested to an extent never felt before. The whole town promises to congregate in the institute hall. The program will consist of comedy, tragedy, music and farce. Two short sketches will be the principal features of the program. “April Fools” 1s spicy and “A Supper for Two” charmingly bright. In the first Messrs. Guy V. Collins, Jas. T. Keleher and Nathan Weill will assume the char- acters, and in the latter Messrs. R. C. Bal- linger, G. V. Collins and Thos. Flemming. The scene from Othello where Iago in- stigates the Moor against his wife will be presented by Messrs. Rovt. Lowe and J. Barton Miller, The students will be sisted by Mr. Edwin Ferry, the western tragedian; the Imperial Banjo Club, Mr. Geo. O'Connor, Mr. Chas. F. McEnaney, Mrs, J. W. Collins, Miss Mary Dashiell, Mr. Winslow and others of note. passe acai Bees CHORAL SOCIETY MEETING. The Annual Reports and ti Showing Made. The Choral Society held its annual busi- ness meeting at Typographical Hall Monday evening, the attendance being larger than on any similar occasion in the history of Good rectors had done during the year, and then read the treasurer’s report showing that the society would undoubtedly come out some- what ahead on the year’s work and this notwithstanding the fact that there was a deficit from the first concert given.
