Tho nutv tmrlih Iiouku of the Hickory

vim (Irnllcatcl ycsletdnj'. The event
marked an epoch In the history of thin
lrirjre nnd proiri essilve conercgntlon,
'"oi' some years It hud been manifest
that the chinch wiis too small to ac
rnnitnudate tlie needs of the parish, and
last year, when the papers were burned
thai made the ohtuvh free of debt, plans
worn at once urepared for the enlarge
ment of the church buildings.
"With this end In view, the forty Toot
lot and j.runcrty adjaeent to the par
onuRo tus purehased and this wave
u ground space TOxSO feet, in the real1,
and a committee on building- was or
ganized, with Louis Schumacher as
president.
The plans submitted by Architect
rercy .Morris were approved, and a
building, which combined nil the latest
improvements, IncludltiK sinks, retir
ing rooms, kitchens, .ileum, electricity
and c-ntllntlon, was at once com
menced, the contractors being AVoel-
kers & Uellinan. The result of their
laoors hns given the congregation one
of tho finest buildings In the city, the
main icature of which Is un auditor
ium, with hard-wood finish, and a steel
celling in nrtlstlcally arranged colors
of salmon, blue nnd pink.
There is a forty-foot stage, whore

separate rooms, Kntrance is made on
the side nearest the church, and stairs
lead, riRhi-. and loft ot the entrance, to
tho main hall. The basement Is ar
ranged tor the Sunday school classes,
nnd tho same rooms can be used by
the various church societies during tho
week.
The work of tho contractors has
given great satisfaction to the pastor,
Jtev. YV A. Nordt, and the building
ronimitlcr, who have, during the past
week. In open session, tendered their
expressions of hearty good-will and
clncere thanUs to Messrs. "Woelkers &
Ueilman, who have complied with
every item In the contract.
The programme arranged for yester
day was carried out In Its entirety, at
tho morning, afternoon and evening ser

1-he church at the usual hour and then,
lioaded by the architect, contractors
and the pastor, Tlov. W. A. Nordt, iiro
t ceoded to the parish houe. There they
' weie met at the door lv the eldeis,

suffrage to landowners, or to persons
with an amount of property on which
they paid taxes.
By the national act of 170S, no foreign
emigrant could bo received lo suffrage
on less than fourteen years' proballon(
and this after five years' previous dcdlo
ration of intention to become a citizen.
One can see how effective were the
limitations by tho email number of
votes as compared with the volc
population. It was like a Vote In Mis
sissippi today, where d,000 voters choose
the representative of 200,000 people.
What followed on this limitation of
suffrage was that the two great par
ties were simply two rival aristocracies.
There la something ludicrous now In
.rending the private letters of the real
leaders on both sides. They lake it as
entirely for granted, each, that the par
ty will do what half a dozen lenders de
termine on; as air. Croker (In 1000) took
It for granted that Tammany would do
what ho determined on. Indeed, there
was no popular convention or any oth
er method by which the rank and file
of the voters could express any opinion,
even if they had one, But practically
they had none. The condition of af
fairs in South Carolina up to air. Till
man's reign Is n good enough Illustra
tion of tho way In which every state
was managed up till 3Si9. "Some of
u-j got together at Columbia after tho
commencement and arrange the poll
tics of tho statu for tho next year."
Such was the convenient fashion every
where in which things were managed
all along the lino, before people found
out what universal suffrage mentis or
what democratic government Is.
Up till tho closo of General Jackson's
presidency no such thing was heard of
ns a national convention for the choice
of a candidate. Somebody had to nuiko
such a choice; and, for want of a bet
ter, a meeting of, the members of con
gress named the candidate? of either
parly. So It was that in 18.25 General
Jackson nnd John Qulncy Adams and
Mr. Crawford and air. Wirt divided the
electoral votes. But so soon as General
Jackson withdrew, having named Mr.
Van Buren as ills successor, all the en
thusiasm of the Democratic party de
parted with Old Hickory, Poor Van
Buren had to face the terrible stornvj
of the commercial crisis of 1S37. The
fault was none of his, excepting ns the
Industrial states of America are always
at fault when they Intrust their busi
ness to those states where nobody can
mend a water-pall, or to statesmen
who do not know a bill of lading from
a bill of exchange of men who "know
nothing of trade," nn the excellent
aionroe said, hi the crisis of 1837 hnlt
the business firms In tho country were
bankrupt and half Its Industries were
destroyed, of which Iho consequence
was that the Industrie! states, that l, I
New Kngland, the West, and the great
states between, took their affairs fcr
once into their own liantlr.
