He is the son of one of the most distinguished Caradian divines and has for the past twelve years occupled some of the leading pulpits of Iowa. During that time he has been in great demand as an orator on national occasions, and has delivered numer- ous lectures before the Chautauqua Institutes and other educational societies. Besides these duties and his pastoral work, he has been for nine years secretary of the Northwest lowa conference, and was also president of the Epworth League of lowa and chaplain of the Sixth regiment of lowa National guards. Previous to his entrance to the pulpit he was a printer and editor and brought to his pastoral work that keen Judgment of human nature which is at o the first and last lesson in the school practical journalism, Mr. Sanderson's remarks $esterday were on “Unfurling Our Banners.” By way of Introduction, he directed attention to the fact that a banner had a martial significance. It was an incentive to action, and this was equally true of the banner of Christ. For many years during the monkish ages every- thing was chaotic, with no premonition of the coming dawn, but when the glad light of the Bospel penetrated the gathering gloom of Ages the people turned to find rest and confi- denco under the banner of the Saviour of mankind. The cross of Christ was the banner of the gospel, and in these days of varying creeds and disputed theories it was the only signal under which all could meet on common ground, ast as the little of vidual opinion were lifted above the gri banner of Christ and as churchism was ele vated above the broad teachings of the gos- pel, 50 was the Christian belittled and ren- dered an ineffective soldie All could not bow to the dictates of bishop and conferences, but they could all agree under the banner of Christ. As the white plume of Henry of Navarre rallied his knights to victory when the standards were down, so the soi- diers of the cross should rally around their banner and follow It through evil and through good report One mission of a flag was to reanimate fading hopes and revive waning courage. A thousand times on the field of battle it had Inspired to deeds of heroism, and there were even now multitudes of people who would die before they would see their flag d honored. Although this was not the her age, the same fire still burned in human hearts that animated the martyrs of the darker ages. The banner of Christ was not for those who Sought to shelter themselves behind its silken folds instead of going forward to battle. It was to lead soldiers to victory and not to Shelter poltroons and cowards. It was not 10 be folded carefully and put away, but to be displayed before the people, and it was an undisputed fact that whenever an attempt had been made (o fetter and conceal it it had gone out and impressed itself more eply than ever on the hearts of the people. NE A of LIAH AS MAYOR. His Administration as Chlet Exccative of the City of Jerasnlem: Rev. C. W. Savidge of the People's church preached yesterday morning on ““The Model Mayor,” taking for his text: “And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted and prayed before the God Of heaven.” Mr. Savidge substantially said: I do'not refer to noted men who have held this ofiice in our great modern citles, like Willlam H. Howland of Toronto, who did a work for that eity that will be remembered long as time lasts. He hung up his scrip- ture just back of the official desk: *‘Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain,” Nor do I refer to Mr Pingree, the solid business man of Detroit, who was elected to the office and who did o mighty work in the line of truth and right- eousness, I refer to Nehemiah, a man hot often spoken of and but little known by the men who hold the office now. Who was he? A Jew who lived 440 before Christ. He was of royal descent; was now a captive and an exile. He was cup- bearer to Artaxerxes, The Longhanded. He was not elected by men, but was appointed by God. He was not out of a job, but was then filling a good position. He did not seck the place because he lacked money, but be- cause he loved his city and his country. We need a truer patriotism today. A man who seeks the office for the spolls is not worthy of the place. Nehemiah was twice appointed to this position by God Himself and filled the place for the long period of twent years. He himself says that he did not eat the bread of the governor. He says the former governors were chargeable to the peo- ple and took of them bread and wine and 40 shekels of silver, but he did not, for he feared God. Oh, for the fear of God on the part of public officials! This would revolutionize our general state and city governments. He not only served without pay, but kept a big boarding house at which there sat down daily at the mayor's expense 160 Jews and a number of heathen besides. The bill of fare each day was an ox, six sheep, fowls and provisions of all KoKt By reading his book, you find how he came to take up his work. He asked some of the brethren who came to sce him how affairs were going on at Jerusalem. “Sad enough they answered, “The Jews who live there are in affliction and reproach, the walls are broken down and the gates burned with fire, Nehemlah felt this deeply; he sat down wept, fasted and prayed for days. He not only felt bad, but he talked to God about It for days together. Here is a real love the work of God. He lived in a palace and worked for a king, but his heart was with his people in Jerusalem. It is not enough that we feel deeply and even fast and pray We must ac The next timé he appeared before the kin his countenance was sad. “You must have some great heart trouble,’ sald the King. Nehemiah told him what it was, and asked permission to go to Jerusalem. It was Eranted and he set out with official letters and a bodyguard. He was religious, but he was business-like as well He was wise. Arriving at Jerusalem he rode out on horse- back at night to see the ruin of the city. No doubt he was tired after his long jour- ney, but he could mot sleep. His heart was filled with a .great purpose He en- listed the people to aid him in rebuilding the walls and restoring the clty. The people rallled to him. What men of every age want Is leadership. Oh! how these men worked! They wrought with one hand, and held a spear in the other. They only changed their clathes for washing. They put in long hours, working from sunrise till the stars appeared. Every man built over, against his own house. Thal's what we've ®ot to do. It we can't build a wall against #ln in Omaha, we ought not to think of £oIng to Africa. Such a man as this had his eneuiles. © There were three noted poli- ticlans who led the opposition. The crafty Sanballet was the first of these. They de- clared that if a fox should run against that wall, he would break it down Mayor Nehemlah was enough for them every time. See what this man accomplished! = It is wonderful what one man can do. God works through men, singly. He rebuilt Jerusalem and made her prosperous, worked great moral and spiritual reforma- tlons. .

Publc sentiment against the public drink- ing place he contended was increasing. He talked at some length on the recent hostility to the saloon ehown by the Catholic church in America, as shown by the utterances of Mgr. Satolli and Bishop Watterson. Said M. Cran. “If these prelates mean what they say and shall carry on the war until the great Catho- lie church shall put itself squarely against saloon business, 1t will be the greatest moral incident of modern times. There is no churck so well equipped to deal the death | blow to the American saloon as the Catholic church. May God speed it in this direc- tion." He concluded by saying: “It seems to me that the duty of every patriot Is to work for the prohibition of the open saloon, and {0 use for this end that means which he thinks to be the most effec- tive. The strength of the liquor traffic is in the citie Its strength is there becduse there the execution of law is the most cor- rupt. This corruption exists largely be- cauze the municipal elections are held upon Wrong issues. The infusion of national handle which the saloon trafic uses to con- trol and corrupt the government of cities Therefore it seems to be that the first duty of every citizen would be to exert himself to the utmost to divoree municipal elections from state fssues. This having been done municipal government, hand in hand, with local option, accomplish the abolition of the saloon, But whatever method may be used, it is only a question of time until the liquor trafiic, the chief instrument of the corruption of the American people and of all other peoples, shall be driven out.

The assessorship in South Omaha seems to be an office largely sought after, although the pay is small. The assessor is allowed $3 a day for s.xty-onie days, and that is the limit of his pay.

The corporations have always been active In municipal politics, and the fact that a large class of the best citizens take | but little interest in the election of city offi- clals has operated to give the rings and com- bines in the various wards a practical con- trol of the situation. The result has been that many of the councilmen elected have gone into” office handicapped by pledges and tle-ups that they have been compelled to make In order to secure election, and even b i have often found.it difficult to reconcile their idea of their duty to the people with their own Interests and ambitions. The recent bitter fight over the union depot ordinance has furnished a marked example of this condition. It is well known that the councilmen who voted against the ordinance were compelled to do it In the face of a po- litical pressure that it was almost impossible to withstand, and that their position on the matter has cost them the support of inter- |t ests that will be a powerful factor In their | 8 re-alection or defeat. It is the general opin- | ¢ lon that some measure should be adopted | o to remedy this condition of affairs, and it is admitted that Mr. Howe has furnished a clew to what might be a very salutary innovation. Some of the ideas presented vary ,in some particulars from the original proposition in detail, but agree in general conclusion Some declare that the abolition of the coun- cllmen-at-large would amount to little more than to reduce the expense of the city govern- ment. These suggest that the best method would be to take the council out of politics entlrely, and make it an independent body, | appointed by the governor or the judges of | tho district court. 'These varlous ideas will be presented to the amendment committee, where they will no doubt be vigorously com batted by the members who have corporation tendencies, HOWE GIVES HIS REASONS. In discussing his proposition Mr. said that he believed the records of the furnished sufficient evidence that the pres- ent system was unsatisfactory in many re- | spects, and was far from being the best that could be devised to protect public and pri- | vate Interests. Up to a foew years ago . the council had consisted of one member from cach ward, whose cspecial business it was to look after the interests of his own ward. This system led to such abuses as to sug- gest the addition of an equal number of | councilmen at large, who would make it | their business to look after the Interests af the city at large, without reference to the wishes of any particular locality. The re. sult had been that the representation of each ward had only been practically increased from one councilman to two, and the eylls | which It was expected to remove had rather | been increased than remedied, and the ex- | pense of govermment very largely increased. | “In my opinion,” continued Mr. Howe, ‘“‘we | should either abolish the office of council- man-at-large altogether or separate -them into a new and independent ‘body which thould have power to pass on all important matters before they went to the mayor, In | this manner we would have a doublé theck, and it would be much more difficult for in- | terested parties to railroad a measure through the council than under the present | system. ““The suggestion In regard to taking the | council out of politics is a good one, and probably the best that has been made. 1 would favor a combination of the two ideas. I would have a city counc’l consisting, & formerly, of one councilman from each ward, Howe past councilmen-at-large, who should be appointed | by the governor, and without reference to | polities, If an amendment carrying out this idea could be paesed, I think it would be the best eolution of the present difcu. ties that has yet been presented.” FAVORS ANY GOOD CHANGE. Dr. George L. Miller said that the ques- tion which was suggested was too Lmportant to be decided hastily. The local government Wwas more important to the citizens of Omaha than even the government at Washington, and he should dislike to pasz an opinion on such a radical change without ample consideration. As a general principle he did not think that the stats government had properly anything to do with shaping munici- pa) legislation. In regard to- the idea of a double coun- cil, Dr. Miller said that he was in favor of any measure that operated to put a check on hasty and impulsive legislation The House of Lords in England, miserably con- stituted though it was, had been found to be | & most salutary check on the Commons, and without the two houses the’ government at Washington would be a most unsatisfactory Institution. The abuses of the present sys. tem were patent to all, and any change that I « a C. N. Dawson and wife are entertain- | l"‘x | city. | some r 18 home from a trip | Som! | fear that it will cost them votes. promised real and permanent benefit was to | be welcomed. But the question was too im- portant to be decided hastily, and if any Aaction was to be taken, it should only be after it had received the best judgment of “1” ablest and most experienced men of the city. v Btreet Commissioner Balcombe said that he was emphatically in favor of some change the present government of the “I have no doubt,” said measure would make a decided im- provement in the management of city affairs and result In material benefit to the tax- payers. My Idea Is that the city couneil ought to be taken entirely out of politics. It is politics more than official corruption that is responsible for most of the bad goy- ernment that we have to endure, SERVE THEIR OWN AMBITIONS, “The general idea that the councilmen re- celve money for their votes and influence In favor of certain measures has but little foundation in fact. Of course there will al- ways be some men who are in office for what there Is In it, but these cases are not so frequent as some people suppose, The ac- tions of councilmen are controlled more largely by their palitical ambitions than anything else, and they are often afraid to vote just as they believe they ought to for As a rule the more influential members of the council regard their ofice as a stepping stone, either 0 & second term or to something better. Consequently their entire official conduct is shaped 80 as to best serve the end which they have In view. The power which local corporations wield in politics is well known, and in order to obtain the bemefit of that in- fluence many officials are willing to adopt a course that they would “unhesitatingly condemn if they had no ambition rve beyond that of representing the best interests of the people. When a councilman does have the stamina to break away and do just what he believes is right, indepemdently of any political influence that may be brought to bear, he is usually. promptly turned down as soon as he appears for re-clection. He is alluded to as a crank and a fanatic, and it is very seldom that the people vindicate his conduct by a re-election. “‘For these reasons in particular, and some others in general, I am in favor of so chang- ing the present system that a city council- man shall be absolutely Independent of poli- tics, 1 would favor a reduction of the present number of councilmen to five or seven, and have them give their entire time to the city business and receive a proportionate salary. 1 would have them appointed by the gov- ernor, the same as the members of the Fire and Police Commission, and 1 am confident that sueh a system would give us & better n 1 t b |t | 1 t il i u 1 Singing heit,” which numbers were so ably rendered given voeal Albert. tion of Prof. Charles Petersen. ported near future and intending to engage Prof. Pete olio sokol given Thanksgiving evening by the members this city. now working earnestly position among their countrywomen this winter, sides tributor: differences, | ranks somewhat, retire Charles whom have now again joined and are counted as valuable members, SOME RECENT COURT DECISIONS. the rulé o ject 1o local law though the dest nati*n Fas nct beea reached. of appeals In the Sixth eircuit of State of ‘Tennessee for the again | pany, | way company ports, Annotated, G4, if t} been prevented by the use of basim to allow the sediment water back into the stream. “how mining purposes tion in this cas laundry neighboring property owners parte Sing Lee, 24 L.
