revising the ordinances,
be hoped they will be able to <
laws that will stick. At three
attorneys are engaged on the revision,
if they are not successful it will
not be for lack ot legal council.
It is evident to our arind that the
Committee of Twentv will not get
much encouragement from the City
Council in their laudable effort to
prevail upon the City Marshal to
vigorously enforce the
against gaming. The members of
the Council, while expressing them-
selves individually in favor of the
work laid out by the Committee, are
too shy of the responsibility to ask
the Marshal to do what they know
he ought to do, not even when he
requests such instruction.

Editor Gasrttker :
lit giving ibis letter lo the public
it it not my intention to enter into
any controversy with Mr. Smith.
Controversy may sharpen the intel-
lect; but it nnhittera the heart, and
makes prejudice blinder still.
My object in intruding into your
columns, is to warn the public
against accepting the statements
of Mr. Ingersoll’s Reviewer,
as fair specimens ot l>ibl I- >
cal inculcation. Everybody knows
that the church for eighteen hundred
years, hat found the doctrines ot the
atonement, the trinity, the divini ty
of Christ, the responsibility of man,
the personality ot the Holy Spirit,
and the fadt of a future retribution
in the Word of God; and everybody
knowf that the great theological fa-
culties of Germany, England, and
America, Catholie and Protestant,
with one vficc, unite . to-day in de-
claring that these doctrines sre scrip-
tural. Is not that incontrovertible
proof that they are so? How*on
earth dors it happen that all men,
learned and unlearned, in every age,
and in evefy time, haye belreyed
that these doctrines" were contained
in the Bib|rDf there is not the slight-
est trace o( them tp be found there?
How do >du .account for the fact
that Presbyteriaus, Methodists, Epis-
copalians, Lutherans, Congreg&tion-
nlists. Universalists, Baptists, Greeks
and Roiuafiists the world over, con-
cur in atUnning that these great car-
dinal tenets of the Christian taiih are
biblical, if there is not a hint, ora
trace of them anywhere from
Genesia to Revelation. ? Surely it
is a strange thing that at this late
hour of the day, souic man should
suddenly make the discovery that
the church universal has been mis-
taken, and that their views are anti-
biblical.
This is pot the proper place for me
to argue 'bat these views are true,
and that the ereeds of the Retormed
churches are true, right or just. I
do that upon the holy Sabbath, from
the sacred desk. But this is the
proper place for me to protest
against statements which are utterly
misleading, and which are calculat-
ed to shake the confidence of men in
the whole system ot Christianity. I
do assert most positively, upon the
authority pf all the ecumenical creeds
the authotity of all the state church-
es in Europe, the authority of all the
Evangeliqal churches in America,
•nd the authority of all the distin-
guished biblical exegetes in our halls
of learning, that these doctrines—the
trinity, the personality of the holy
spirit, the divinity of Christ, and all
the other cardinal tenets of Christian-
ity, are scriptural, whether they are
true or fa)se; they are certainly in
the Bible.
Now Mr. Editor, we Christians ac-
cept thee# doctrines, because we are
that the Old and New
are the inspired Word of
God. When we are satisfied on the
ground of sufficient evidence, that
the Bible is inspired, that it is infal-
lible in the inculcation of moral and
spiritual truth, and that it is as truly
the Woid of God, as Hamlet is the
word ot Shakspeare, it matters not
what it may teach, we are compelled
to believe it, unless it should contra-
dict the first principles ot morals, or
the fundamental laws of thought and
rectitude. And we claim that the
Bible does not do that. We claim
that it is in perfect harmony with
the delivetances of our moral insti-
tutions, and that the test of experi-
ment—which, after all, is the only
satisfactory test—forever establish
the scriptures upon a foundation of
adamant.
But I do not intend to enter upon
that argument now. I merely want
to tell your readers that there is not
an approved theologian in the world
who would endorse your Reviewer’s
interpretation ot the scriptures. To
save my life 1 cannot see any differ-
ence between Ingersoll and Mn
Smith; the wall that divides them is
thin indeed. I do not say this to
reproach Mr. Smith. From the bot-
tom of my heart I feel aorry for him.
In all the dopths of compassion of
which I am capable, I pity him.
But I say it for the good of the com-
munity at large. No error is a triy-
ial thing or a harmless thing, and
when a man preaches to a communi-
ty incessantly that the church has
drifted away from the bible, it is the
duty of the ministry to refute the J
calumny.
In a certain sense a man has a
right at against the Christian world
to range with Ingersoll in theology.
But he has no right to pretend to
teach theology, and under false
guises lead men to disbelieve and
scoff at it. And that is exactly what
vour Reviewer has been doing. Af-
ter stating the position of Ingersoll,
he invariably goes on to say: “The
Colonel is right. The church does
teach that horrible dogma. But
Christ never did. There is not a
! word of it in the Bible."
Mr. Ingersoll is no more of a des-
tructionist than Mr. Smith. They
both agree in rejecting the cardinal
1 principles of our holy religion. But
the course of Mr. Ingersoll is far the
1 moie honorable of the two. It is a
more manly thing to attack Christi-
anity boldly, to throw off the mask
and appear in the guise of an enemy
than it is under the form of a pre-
tended zeal, to betray the Son of
Man with a kiss, and plunge a dag-
ger into the heart of his church.
This is all that I intend to say on
this subject. And I have said this
because I cannot hear my God tra-
duced and reviled, and yet hold my
peace. I cannot witness unceasing
libels on his character, and yet take
no steps to vindicate his injured hon-
or. When your national banner is
intuited your blood boils in your
vei ns, and you cannot rest until the
wrong has been repaired, When
the wife of your bosom is reviled,
you would scorn yourself if you could
submit with patience. But the Chris-
tian man regards Christ, the Incar-
nate God, with a veneration strong-
er, a love mightier, and an homage
deeper than can ever be called forth
by any earthly object, and he would
be less than a man, if his heart did
not bum within him, when His
holy name is trampled upon, and his
honor is reviled. I sincerely hope
that the citizens of Denison will look
to a more reliable source than your
Reviewer of Ingersoll for their views
of scriptural truth.
* Respectfully,
H. M. Whaling.
Judah P. Benjamin, attorney-gen-
eral under the defunct confedetate
government, is dead. After the war
he moved to England and has resid-
ed there ever since, and has been

He diejd in Paris and was seventy-
three years old.
It appears that when the members
ot the city council wish to instruct
the marshal not to crowd the law too
severely against the sporting men,
they hold an informal curbstone ses-
sion, that the proceedings may not
appear in the records. As they re-
fuse to countermand these informal
instructions, and refuse to instruct
the marshal to strictly entorcs the
ordinances, when he asks for such
instructions, if the marshal is wise,
he will carry out the wishes of the
people, and enforce the law. This
ia his sworn duty, and as the will of
the people is.superior to the will of
their servants, he has no valid excuse
for not doing so. - ^
We are surprised that a few of
our citizens are disposed to defend
public gambling, and thereby place
themselves in direct antagonism to
the laws of the state. This is a
fact, however. A gentleman even
went so far as to sav in our presence
that the members of the committee
of twenty deserved to be tarred and
feathered, and yet all this committee
was appointed to do, or propose to
do, is to see that the laws of the
state aad city are enforced, and that
sworn officers do exactly what their
oaths of office requre them to do.
So far as the editor of this paper is
concerned, as a member of that
committee, he proposes to carry out
his instructions, so tar as it is within
his power to do so, and those who
do not like his course will have to
accommodate themselves to the
facts in the case and make the beat
of it.
UHAKITY FESTIVAL.
To be Given at the McCarthy Building
Tuesday Bight.
Nearly every church society in the
city has had a festival recently, for
the purpose of improving or furnish-
ing their respective church edifices,
and these festivals have been liberal-
ly patronized by all classes. It is
now proposed to have a festival to
raise funds for aiding the suffering
poor in our midst. Several cases of
this kind have recently come under
the notice of our citizens, and mon-
ey is needed to relieve distress. Un-
der existing arrangements, the tax
for charitable purposes falls as a rule
upon the businesa men on Main
street, and not a week passes but the
charitably disposed have to make
drafts on their pockets to assist the
sick and indigent. It may not be
generally known, yet there are poor,
but respectable ladies in this city,
who have children to support, and
who cannot get employment of any
kind, and are actually on the verge
of starvation.
These church festivals take in
from $75 to $200, which sums, if
devoted to chari table objects, would
accomplish incalculable good; and
as a large share of this money comes
from those who are not chinch mem-
bers, it always seemed to us that it
should be devoted to this praisewor-
thy object. But this is simply a mat-
ter of opinion. We do not doubt,
however, but that the ladies who
work so zealously for.church bene-
fits, will join with their outside sis-
ters, and do their best to make this
charity festival a grand success so-
cially as well as financially. Five
hundred dollars should be raised on
this occosion, a nd will be, if only
the ladies will take hold of the mat-
ter with their usual enthusiasm. A
call has been extended to the ladies
of the city to meet at the Opera
House, at 2 o’clock this (Saturday)
evening. Mr. McDougall kindly
tendered the opera house tor this
purpose, tree of charge.
A dispatch to the Fort Worth Ga-
zette states that the Federal Court
bill was to have come up in the
House yesterday. The Arkansas,
Missouri, and Kansas delegations, it
was reported, would strongly oppose
the passage of the bill.

Senator Edmunds is pressing the
senate committee to bring up their
bill placing Gen. Grant on the
army retired list, with pay at the
rate of $19,000 per annum. This,
ot course, is on account of the Gen-
eral’s recent heavy toss. The Unit-
ed States Government has already
provided handsomely for Gen.
Grant. Once before he lost a com-
fortable fortune in his gambling
speculations on Wall street, and a
begging scheme was set on foot
which placed him on his feet again,
so lar as finances were concerned.
This ought to have taught the Gen-
eral to let gambling alone, but if be
still persists in the folly, we cannot
sec why the people or this govern-
ment should be taxed for his sup-
port. _____________

The Issue.
Editor Gazetteer:
The defear of the Morrison bill
in the house of representatives (he
other day by the defection of men
claiming to be democrats, brings the
issue of tariff reform aquarely to the
front as the question between the
two parties at the approaching pres-
idential election. Men that are op-
posed to the present iniquitous tariff
wilt cot quietly submit to the dicta-
tion of Mr, Randall and other east-
ern monopolists longer. Let those
who favor the old democratic doc-
trine of “a tariff for revenue only,”
buckle on their armor, for the strug
gle is at hand. Throw out your
pickets in every precinct in the
country, from your lines, and shoul-
der to shoulder, let us move to the
front. Now is the time for the peo-
ple to speak out. Speak out in your
primaries, act in your county con-
ventions, and when the state conven-
tion meets in Ft. Worth, let the
friends of tariff reform be there in
solid phalanx prepared to send a
delegation of tariff reform men to
the national convention. The vast
agricultural interests of this, the
empire state of the South, and
banner state ot the democratic party,
will not submit to trifling or quib-
ling in the state convention on this
important question. It is the ques-
tion and the only question that now
divides democracy and republican-
ism. The republican party, con-
trolled by eastern monopolist;, will
grind the last dollar possible out of
the people under the false and de-
lusive cry of protection. The tariff
reform men in its ranks are bound
hand and foot, and notwithstanding
the failure of the Morrison bill, it is
only to the democratic party that the
country can look for relief from this
terrible burden. The muttering
thunder heard over the failure of the
Morrison bill will prove to be a
cyclone st the Chicago convention
to those traitors in the party who
defeated the bill, and it. will prove
beneficial to us if it will sweep Mr.
Randall and his adherents into the
republican party, where they prop-
erly belong. What has our party to
expect from Pennsylvanians? Mr.
Randall has proved to be a vertable
old man of the sea to the party,
with his high protection tariff. Let
him go, and all that think with him
on this question. But “policy,”
says one. A fig for policy. It has
never yet proved to be good policy
for a man or a party to countenance
a great wrong. Inscribe “a tariff
for revenue only” on our banners,
then fall or win by it like men.

The Dark Day in Wall Street.
Last Tuesday was a black day in
New York, and the wildest excite-
ment prevailed in financial circles.
There had been a feeling of insecur-
ity since the sudden failure of Ward,
Grant A Co„ and their bank, The
Marine. The first shock Tuesday,
was the announcement that the Met-
ropolitan bank had suspended, with
over two millions liabilities. Hatch
A Foote succumbed next, followed
by O. M. Begert A Co., and Goffe
A Rande, for a million. Later the
well known banking firm of Donnell,
Lawson A Simpson, closed their
doors, and several others.
Immediate steps were taken by
moneyed men to prevent a panic, il
possible, and in a day or two it was
believed the crisis was safely over.
The Metropolitan bank has resumed
and others are in hopes of doing so
soon. There have been a few fail-
ures in other cities, but nothing to
create general alarm. Our Denison
banks are not affected to any great
extent by the troubles in Wall street.
The First National is included
among the correspondents ot Don-
nell, Lawson A Simpson, but a small
balance is with the bank here.
Talk about your fine trait, Gais-
msn A Co. are selling strawberries
that will weigh a pound and a quar-
ter (more or leas) and at the same
price you pay for inferior berries.

Last Wednesday night, after-ibB-
city council had refused to instruct
the marshal to enforce the ordi-
nances, Mayor Hanna arose and said,
that if it could be shown that it was
his duty under the law to so instruct
the marshal, he would do so, and use
his utmost endeavors to have that
officer do his full duty. For the in-
formation of his Honor, we will
quote from Art. 357, ch. 53, State
Statutes:
The Mayor of the city shall he the
chief executive officer of said corpo-
ration, and shall be vigilant and ac-
tive at ail times in causing the Jaws
and ordinances lor the government
of said city, to be duly executed and
put in torce. He shall inspect Ihe
conduct of all subordinate officers i n
the government thereof, and as far
as it may be in his power, shall
cause all negligence, carelessness,
and positive violations of duty to be
prosecuted and punished.
This language appears to be very
explicit. It is not alone the duty of
the mayor to instruct subordinate of-
ficers, but to be “vigilant and active
at all times” in causing the laws to
be duly executed ; and furthermore,
he should “inspect the conduct ot
subordinate officers,”| (which in-
cludes the city marshal) and “as far
as in his power” cause all violations
of duty to be “prosecuted and pun
ished.” It is hard to imagine how
language could be plainer, or more
positive.
We trust, now that the mayor is
aware he has the law on his side, he
will carry out the spirit of tne mem-
orial, submitted to the council from
the citizen’s committee of twenty,
and insist upon the marshal’s doing
his whole duty.

GAMHG-
Am the Oity Officials the Servaats of the
People Do Paste?
There was an adjourned meeting
of the city council last Wednesday
night, at which the following me-
morial was submitted by a special
committee appointed by the Com-
mittee of Twenty last Monday night
for that purpose
was read and on motion received:
To the Honorable Mayor aad City
Council of the City of Denison, Texas:
At s meeting of the citizens’ commit-
tee of twenty, a committee appointed by
the citizens of Denison, st a mass
ing held on the 3rd day of May, 1884, for
pose of assisting in the enforce-
: the laws end ordinances, it was
unanimously resolved.
That the city council of the city of
Denison be petitioned to instruct the
marshal of the city to prosecute mil vio-
lators of the city ordinances against
gambling coming to his knowledge or
under hie observation ; anil further, that
he be required to make at least daily visits
to all places, st such times as your hon-
orable body may designate, where gam-
ing is known, and where there is good
reason to believe gaming is done, and to
arrest alt parties found violating the tawe
and ordinances pertaining to gan ‘
Resolved, further, that I. T. 1
B. C. Murray and W. M. Nagle be ap-
pointed a committee to present the above
petition to the city council st its next
meeting.
Respectfully submitted with a prayer
that the petition may receive you prompt
and earnest consideration.
Dan Webster, Sam Hanna,
Secretary, Chairman.
The reading led to a general and
protracted discussion by the mem-
bers of the Council, in which the
members ol the special committee
present and several citizens also
participated.
Marshal Hall was called on to ex-
plain what course he pursued in en-
forcing city ordinances, and he stated
that so far as the gaming laws were
concerned he acted in accordance
with the custom of long standing
and which lie understood to have the
sanction of the Council, which was
to collect a fine for each gaming de-
vice publicly exhibited, once a
month. He further stated that
while he had been severely censured
for not suppressing gambling by
persistently arresting parties engaged
in the business and bringing them
before Ihe Recorder, he did not feel
like taking the responsibility upon
himself of such a radical change,
without the sanction of4'the Mayor
and Council. If it was the wish of
the Council that he should suppress
gambling and they would so instruct
him, he said he would guarantee
that the evil would be eradicated
within twenty-four hours. The
members of the Committee of T wen-
ty present, asked the Council to
comply with the request of the
Marshal and give the iastructiona
asked for, whicit was clearly in ac-
cordance with, the wishes of the
people who in mass meeting assem-
bled provided fur the appointment
of the Committee of Twenty, for
the purpose of devising means to
secure the energetic enforcement of
the laws, by officers elected for that
purpose.
It was apparent from the start,
however, that the Council was dis-
posed to shirk this simple duty to
their constituents, but for the pur-
pose of bringing the issue squarely
before them, Councilman Fitzgerald,
whose views are in sympathy with
the objects of the committee, offered
a resolution to the effect that the
Marshal be instructed to enforce the
city ordinances. This caused no
little squirming. It was claimed
that the City Council had no author-
ity to instruct the Marshal to enforce
the criminal laws, that as he was
elected by the people, such instruc-
tion must come from the people, if
at all. The Council made tbe laws,
and there their duty ended. If not
one of these laws for checking crime
was enforced it was none of their
business, etc. Notwithstanding the
City Attorney told theftt they had
the right to instruct if they wanted
to, they persisted in holding to the
position it was not in their line of
duty, and hence when the vote was
taken but two voted for the resolu-
tion—Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Hun-
ted. Mr. Jones was absent. Mr.
Tone wanted more time to consider
the matter of suppressing gambling.
He said he was not prepared, on
the spur of the moment, to bring on
a “social crisis,” (whatever that
means,) bring down upon their heads
the enmity of the sporting men, and
make martyrs of themselves by ask-
ing tbe Marshal to enforce the ordi-
nances, even if they did make them.
After the Council refused to give
the Marshal the instructions he
asked tor, he arose and asked them
if they endorsed his past action in
dealing with violations of the gam-
ing laws, but he could get no favor-
able response. The question was
evaded by referring him to bis oath
ot office.
During this remarkable discussion
it was stated as a fact that it was
doubtful if these ordinances against
gaming are legal. Notwithstanding;
the Recorder for three or four years
has been collecting regular fines
from the sporting men under tbe
provisions ot this ordinance, it was
claimed last Wednesday night that
this was all illegal. This is certainly
a remarkable condition of things.
Why, it this is so, was not the error
remedied long ago? It is singular
The festival
the Episcopal
day evening was a
sense of tbe word. The ladies had
pieced and^qoilted a very fine silk
quilt,valued at $75, which was raffled
off, Mrs. Bridgett Quinn being the
ucky winner. A very pretty baby
quilt was also raffled off, Mrs. Dr.
Nagle receiving the winning card.
A number of ladies donated orna-
ments ot various descriptions and
uses, to be disposed of for the bene-
fit of the church, but having lost the
list of tbeir names, the reporter
omits them of necessity.
The ladies presiding over the
seven tables that groaned under their
burdens of beautiful bouquets, lus-
cious strawberries and ice cream,
were: First—Misses Metttie Hcgg
Luetla Dollarhide, Dulce Murray
and little Miss Minnie Lasher. Sec-
ond—Mrs. Pocor and Mrs. Peck.
Third—Mias Nellie Hogg. Fourth
—Mrs. Dr. Feild, Misses Alice Gil-
bert and Rosa Leeper. Fifth—Mrs.
Ella Scott. Sixth—Mrs. Martinier.
Seventh—Missea InexMann, Mamie
McGauhey and Jennie Wilson. Tbe
great number of young and beauti-
ful ladies who were preeent with
merry laughter and sparkling eyes
made stronger the evidence that, for
loveliness, moral worth and intellec
tual acquirements, the daughters of
Denison rank second to none in the
State. Tbe net results were some-
thing over $150—tbe refreshment
tables realizing some $135, and the
fancy tables $25. The ladies having
the matter in charge were quite
elated with their success, and feel
most grateful to their patrons, as also
to Mr. Owen McCa'thy, who to
kindly tendered them the use of his
building.
Thete is nothing like a white el
phant to draw. This establishment
hat had a regular boom tbe past
week. The various churches got
possession and have been running
tbe institution on the high pressure
principle nearly every night-
converted the lower floor into'a fes-
tival hall, and have done a lucrative
business. All that a poverty stricken
church in this city needs to raise the
wind is a few quarts of strawberries
and a bevy of pretty girls to dish
them out.
