I who havo on The the and NEW jLOTS PUBLIC SCHOOL. An lntcreNCinK Enlcrtainment Oood Advice Uivon by School Commissioner Hamilton Atldrcsscn by the lie v. Mr. Iteevt's anil Rev. Mr.

Hill. The tiBual closing exercises preceding the Christmas holidays, given by the pupils of Union. Hill School No. 2, Town of Now Lota, took place in tho school house on Bntcr avenue near Atlantic, East New York, yesterday afternoon. There were present School Commissioner Hamilton, a number of the trustees and very many of tho parents and friends of tho pupils.

The programme was an exceedingly Interesting one, and by the excellent manner in which tho pupiiB rendered their parts, it was easily seen that thu teachers had taken great care in training them. The programme consisted of singing by the echool, a holiday speech by Miss Augusta I.autonborgor, a recitation, "The Puzzled Census by Charles McDovitt, a piano solo by Miss Id Senecal, recitation, "Papa's Present," by Mise Anna Smith, a German recitation by Frank Pfot fercorn, dialogue, "leather Time," by a boy nnd twelve llttlo girls each representing a month, recitation, "Soniubody's Mother," by Albert Milan, a composition on Deocmbor," by Miss Sadie Stecn, a violin solo by Otto lieinier, recitation, "My Furbelow," by Miss Maggie Milan, recitation, "The Crowning Glory of the United States." by Willie Comptou, recitation.

SCHOOL COMMIS3IONEB HAMILTON then addressed the pupils and thoii friends. Ho said ho wished to congratulate the pupils, their teachers and principal upon tho success of their entertaiutnout. Ho took great interest in the. jcliool. He knew its history, having been connected with It as a school officer for many years.

Ho could say to all that it was a good school, ouo to which parents could safely send their children. Ofc that fact the children present had just given ovldoucc. He had often tho school during its routine business, and tlio iiunlis always did well. He advised tho parents to visit tho school during the week, to wutch the progress of their children. Tho principal and teachers would bo glad to have them como and tho children would be encouraged to pursue their studies more dillgontiy.

Speaking to the children, ho said ail could not lie President of tho United states. There wero carpenters, blacksmiths and shoemakers needed, and only good citizens were desirable. He advised thc to bo thorough whatever they undortook, ana what was most dcsirHbie waa that they should become good citizens, good honest citizons. They had a good school In which to study the composition of a good citizen, and they could, if they desired, bocome good citizons. Ho advised them to aim high in lire.

They might fall below their aim, but if their aim waa high enough their fall would not hurt them. Gat all tlio education you can, it will help you when you grow up. Now you have all you neod, but by and by, when yon cast loose from your paronts, you will bo like a shipwrecked sailor in a boat afloat on au open soa. You will have to pull at the oars to reach success. Therefore get all the education you can you will need it.

Inf concluding he said I feol proud of this school, bcoause it has good teachora. 1 am personally acquainted with thorn. Boiuo of them warn pupils of ruiuo. You have a good principal. He is a good, faithful worker.

You have a good Hoard of Education, men earnest in tho work, who are desirous of doing all they can to build up tho educational interest in tiie town, ami to have Bcbooia worthy of the name. I aay to you, get goo.luoss. Be honest iu everything and whatever you do, do the best you know how. Willi such a foundation as that to build on, you will be successful. He then concluded by extending the greetings ot the season.

The liev. Mr. Hcavch, pastor of the East New York Methodist Church, and tho Itev. Mr. Hill, pastor of tho Eat New York itei'onucd Church, thou made addresses full of encouragement to the nnoiis.

Mr. G. A. F. North, tho principal, then brought tha the exercises to a close, with a brief addros.

in which ho thanked the parents for their attendance and ox proased the wisli that they would come of tenor. FRANK SYYIFrS CONTRACT. tiitt Slirrlit to Itcinovc Dead Animals From City Contested in Court. Justice Ferry yesterday began the hearing in (he case of the Board of Health against Briggs, Wilson charged with removing dead animals from the city streets without a permit. Frank Swift is paid (,000 per annum by the oity for removing this pilrtiouiar kind of offal, and bo ickod the prosecution by reason of the fact that trespass its made upon his contract by the defendants.

It was understood that the def.mije would net un the claim that the Board of Health hns no mors control of dead ani male than it has over live ones, for tho reason that a horse dtaii was just as much tho properly ot its owuor as when alive. Counselor George F. EJiloft represented the Board of Health Mr. Jesso Johnson appeared for Mr. Frank Swift, and ex Jucigo Jamos Troy waa coannel for defendants.

The court room was crowded with spectators, and much interoat was taken iu tho proceedings. Ex Judge Troy, iu oprtnins the case, admitted that tha defendants had uo pet mil, but claimed that tho owner of a dead animal had the right to disposo of it as bo saw lit. Furthermore, ho claimed that the Common Council had no legal right to pass an laying siege to another persou'a property. This instance could be compared to the fact that the Legislature of the Stato could not pass a law conflicting with the United Statei law, because tho oue was already intact itud the other would bo an encroachment. The firet witness waa Officer Ilarcy.

of the Eleventh Precinct, who arrested au employe of Briggsfc Wilson, for removing a dead horse. lie testified to seeing tho man take the horse without a permit and that for so doing ho arroatod him. The next witness was John Larcy. oniployod by Mr. Frank Swift, who corroborated the testimony of the 2revions witness.

No further testimony was offered, fhe defense daclin fxiir to plaoa wituteapoo on tlio Xnntl. In summing up. counsel for tho Health Board claimed that Mr. Switt had the contract with the city for removing dead anlnialB that the ordinance of the Board was valid and that the reason why dead animals camo under control of the Board of Health was because it was in the public interest to sea that the work of removing them was properly attended to.

Bird The i.erformanc was In every respect creditable to the new society. Although the Kemb'o ia supposed to consist of imaieure, the histrionic capacity of many of itsnieruber would entitle them to cordial recognition in profoB8ioii il life, and there were few indications of un" famll.ii iiy with the requirements of tho stago tn the ex" cellent performance of iaBt night. The leading parts in the play were taken by ladies and gentlemen who had sufficient experience in amateur theatricals to know how to suit the word to tho aotion and tho action to tho word, and their efforts wore warmly applauded. Mrs. Imogen Brown gave a vivid interpretation of the character of Margaret Elmore lis Sophie M.

Osburn'a Herminio waa excellent Mr. bird as Matthew Elmore was loudly applauded, and tho other members of the caBt acted so well that the performance was a pronounced eucaess. Tho Kcmble, which has drawn largely from the Amaranth, has a membership of nlnoly five, and the limit is one hundred. Its officers aro as follows President, G.

They narrowly escaped being burned to death on Wednesday night, and while their house was not destroyed, the damage is heavy. Mr. McVeagh placed a keroseno lamp on the mantelpiece and knocked it off by driving nails into a board which rested against it. The lamp struck the stove and broke, and the oil flowed iu flames over the floor, setting fire to the clothing of Mrs. McVeagh and that of her little daughter.

The carpet caught fire, then pieces of furniture and next the floor began burning. Mr. MoVeagb. carod only for hie wife and child, and labored manfully to quench the flames that threatened to consume them. Ha waa moat painfully burned.

Mrs. McVeagh was burned badly, as was also her daughter, and tboy also inhaled tho flames to such an extent that their livos aro iu jeopardy, and they recover at all, it will be many weeks before thoy will be able to resume their household duties, MASOMC ELECTIONS.

Last evening the Washington Avenue Bap tist Churoh wns crowded with men, womon and chit dren, anxious to hoar and eeo the Cantata of Santa Clans performed by the Primary Department of the Sunday School. The little ones were gathered on the platform, and aftor an instrumental prologue on the piano, they sang the chorus.

Happy Meeting, Happy Greeting." A solo and duet andWeolo and chorus fol lowed. Then came another duet 'Tls Merry, Merry Christmas." succeeded by a rollicking chorus, Hail, all hail." Threo solos came next, "Joy, Peace and Hope," the lattor referring to the Frost King, whese appearance the children hailed with "Somebody's Coming." A dialogue followed between the Frost King, appropriately attired, and tho young people, and then came tho laughing chorus, which waa very good. The second scene was whore the children go to bed with the prayer song, "Now I lay me down to sleen Tha Goddess of Dreams sang a lullaby. Then came the first fairy with a solo, then the second and then the third, finishing with a trio of fairies, "Good Night." The "Reindeer" galop opened the third scene and Santa Claus appeared with a "Merry ChristmaB to all." The little ones welcomed him with a jolly ohorus, and another chorus of thanksgiving ended the cantata, Tho singing was vory aweet and the acting wonderfully clever. The audience were, of course, delighted.

They applauded everything the little ones said and sang, and thoy deserved hearty approval, for their performance was highly creditable. TWO LAMP EXPLOSIONS. A kerosene lamp in the show window of Solomon Alton's paint store, No, 2G Broadway, exploded last evening at closing time.

THE ALIBI GOOD Wes" Allen Aoeptitted of the Charge of Stealing Thomas Eocheford's Watch, 'The" Allen's Extensive Deailngrs with Thieves The Bardell Plckwlcb Case in Court as an Authority iu a Pickwickian Sense. At the openiDg of the trial of "Wes" Allen yesterday, the defense recalled the prisoner who said that no was not tried for tho offense for whioh he was arrestod iu Pennsylvania. Another man was ar rested for the offense and Allen was discharged. He has been married four years and over.

He has not com mitteu any crime in eight yeara. Witness did not ad mit to Clark in Jail that he took Clark's watch. He told him he did not know who took the watoh and did not care who took it. He told Clark in a cross manner to 0 away and let him alone. A friend of Clark, named Eagan, was present.

Eagan told Allen not to mind what Clark said, as he had lost a watch which an old girl of his had given him. Eagan said that Allen could got back the watch If he vanted to do so. He said Ue (Eagan) was au Old "rounder" in Ho VorV flint ho knew that Allen or bis brother could got the watch back. Ho asked Allen to him a note to hla brother. who did not know Eagan.

To cet rid of him. Allen gave bim a business card on which he wrote, "This oomes from me, 'Wes' Allen." That was all thoro waa in the lettor. Clark came tn him last Frirlav Allan's house and asked him if ha had got his watch. in.au iqiuou mat au not, aid not Know where it was and did not care. Clark then said that ha would give him until Sunday night to get the watch, and said that If he did not get it he (Allen) would be eorry for it.

Clark then went away, having had live or six drlukfl. At the Jail he promised to et Allen bail if he would recover the watch. (leueral Tracy Did you send home an express package fromEImlra? witness yob. Mr. Wernberg I objoct to tho qnoation.

The Court I think I will admit the question. Witness (continuluffl The euro ens nneltftnA rtontntnerl Cigars. It arrived at mv homo on Monrlnv after I reached homo. Mrs. Allen was recalled bv the defense.

She said that ejio received a package by express shipped from Elniira, each aa Is described in a memorandum from tho express office, which was shown witness and ottered iu evidence. "The" Allen was recalled for the detonse. He said that Clark oallcd on him with a card from his brother. The card bore the following: "This is from me, oiara saiu hi witness that he was an old New York rounder," aud having lost his watch and learning that Wes" was art CBted he knew witness conhl pet tho watch tack, Ho offered to go bail if tho watch waa re turned. Ho said his influence in Itrnoklvn would rnt his brother released.

Witness said that he did not want to be outdone in politeness, and would try and get the watch back told Clark to atop at tho Herald office and put iu au advertisement for the watch, using "The" Allen's name, that a reward would be paid for the watch aud no Questions nuked "nnnn honor Clark said ho had alroady advertised in tho Bhooklvn' Eaoi.e. Wilueaa told him to change tha Eacile advertisement nud use "Tho" Allen's uaino. as tho parties wou.d be more likely to return itto bim than to anvona else. EXTENSIVE DEALINGS WITH THIEVES. ftir.

General Tracy A thousand cabe3 of attempting to rocover property? Witness Yes. a thousand cases in which was nnr. cessful In recovering (ho proporty. A long delay in the trial occurred here while waiting for Superintendent Campbell. Mr.

Tracy proposed thut the prosecution admit that Superintendent Campbell would testify that the force was out on the night of the Democratic parade and that none of thorn saw "Wes" Allen. Tho nrrraocntinn admitted this and the case waa declared closed on both sides. SUMMING TIP FOB THE PMSONEB. Ootiaral Tracy then summed up the caso for the pris oner. He compared carefully tho evidence on both ides, and assorted that there never was a Btrnnper array of independent proofs, each corroborating tlio otlier, tnan presented by the witneH for the defeuse.

It was easily possible for the witnesses for the iimm cii uou, unucr iuu circumstances, to De mistaken. It was impossible for those of tho prisoner to have been so. Ho dwelt upon the unsatisfactory naturo of identification and instanced the Tichborne trial as one where oven tho mother of tho true heir recognized and swore that she recognized tho claimant as her son, when now there is nothing better established than that sho was mistaken. If the jury should allow thoir prejudices against the prisoner to havo away if thoy should rogord his past criminal life as having anything to do with hiH case if they should bo biased by such considerations, there would be no safety for any one when public clamor demanded conviction, right or wrong. At the olose of General Tracy's speech, which was listened to withde3p Interest by both jurors and spectators, the court took a recess.

AFTER RECESS, When Iho oourt reassomblcd at half past one Assistant District Attorney Wernberg summed up for tho People aud went over the testimony, claiming to have clearly conneoted Allen with the robbery. Tho defense attempted to show ao alibi, the easiest possible defense to establish, and the most inconveniencing and unsatisfactory in character. He Beverely criticised the testimony of tho defense's witnesses, calling attention to that of the hotel keeper, who ewore to many years' acquaintance with Allen, and yet didn't know that his name was originally Longley. He also analyzed and condemned the testimony of Allen and othera. Tho alibi business, he said, the fabrication of evidence to suit the occasion, is a part of tho profession or thieves.

To ehow in what estimation this kind of testimony is held, Mr. Wernberg produced a voiume of "Pickwick," and proposed to read the famous trial of Bardell vs. Pickwick. Gonoral Tracy You mean Burdoil, don't you The jury will remember that trial better than the other. Mr.

Wernborg Yes, the famous trial of liurdell ve. Pickwick. A voice No, no Bardell vs. Pickwick. Mr.

Wernberg I mean Bardell vs. Pickwick. General Tracy Yes, but don't you think the jury will remember tho Burdell case better Laughter. Mr. Wernberg then began to read from tha "Pickwick Papers." Mr.

Welier advised the defense of an afisf. As Mr. Wernbsrg read, the spectators laughed, but the jury looked solemn. General Traoy interrupted the reading with tho inquiry, "Is that case an authority in this court The Oourt smilingly replied that it thought not, but that Mr. Wernberg might embellish his address with whatovor alluBions to romance he chose and it would bo quite proper.

General Tracy Well, I will tako an exception anyhow. Will tho stenographer please note it. Mr. Wernberjf ended his readiDg with the scene whore, as Mr. Pickwick was thrown in damages of 750 and was stepping into the carriage as he lelt court refusing to pay, the elder Weller with mournful accents called out to the younger "I kuow'd what 'ud come 'o' this here mode o' doin' business.

Sammy, Sammy, vy worn't there a alleybl The Assistant District Attorney closed hie address to the jury with a strong appeal to disregard the tostlmony in this manufactured caso of the defense and to protect society by convicting the prisoner. Judge Mooro charged the Jury at length, laying down the law clearly and exhaustively. Tho jury retired and after au absonce of an hour returned with a verdict of not guilty. Allen's friends were so overjoyed at the result that thoy fuirly lifted him from the ground and carried him out of the oour room. WASHINGTON.

The Office of Secretary of tlio Pfavy Kointr BeffKiiitr Report that Cioncral Sherman ia Continually "Snubbed" the White House OppoHiiijf the Appointments of Uenerala Howard and Hazen. Special Correspondence of the Eagle. Washington, December 23. President Hayes has much trouble in filling place of the Secretary of the Navy. Mr.

Thompson, who recently resigned, haa intimated to two or throe that thoy could have tho position but they declined because of tho short time loft to hold It. He suggested General Garfield that if ho could furnish a name which would give assurance that he would continue beyond tho remnant of this Administration's life, the Bnggestion would be acted npon. General Garfield deollned to make any suggestion, on tho ground that waa not prepared, aud so Mr. Ramsay will remain during his ten days as provided by law.aud tho President will probably assign the ohlef oierk or some naTa. officer to act as temporary chairman.

GINEBAIj SHEEMAN SNUBBED. There is a disagreeable story going the rounds of Washington, aud the trouble is that It is true. The fact that General Sherman is oontinually being "snubbed1 the White House and at the War Department. Heretofore, with Grant and with tho various secretaries of war' he was on the moat affectionate terms, always fondly welcomed at the Whlto House and the War Department, and in matters relating to the army he always had his own way. In tho early days of tha Hayes Administration ho was a very frequent visitor tha White Honse, and Hayes and Mrs.

Hayes and children all liked him. But lately he is an. unwelcome visitor all around. The latest "snub" he got was in relation to the appointment of General Howard to. tlio command ol the Wost Point Military Academy.

The day before Howard appointed be wanted to know what Howard: was doing aiyay from his command, said he had no business in Washington, and ordered him back. The next Howard's tiarna was sent to the Sonata in Hcho fleld'a place. Ho had been sent for by the President appointed without the knowledge of General Shor in either cSatJir This was too much. "General Sherman was. utterly opposed to tho appointment of Hazen as Chief Signal Officer.

He fought tha retirement of Ord, unless McDowell was also retired. Gonoral Ord is poor and has a family. General Sherman insisted that General was ono of tha best soldiers he had, and. that aa General MoDowell waa old and wealthy, be, and not should be retired. He waa opposed: to tho idea Grant should bo roooinmended to Congress as Captain General; the President, recommended can see that this thing started, away bok in tha Hayes Administration.

To show tha feeling at the White Honse, it Is. only necessary to recall oxu incident, related by a gentleman who was present at tha time. General Butler made speeoh out WeBt la Oregon in which he eald the army did not want war; the politicians always brought it on. Secretary war Ramsey, was present on the platform, sitting alongside tha President, darned to tha latter, and Bald with a show of feeling, "dome great generals and aoldiera would never bedn. heard of If tho politicians had not brought tha WM," It Is very Ukely that this feeling will be.

A coinmittoe of flye was BDuolnfurl to n)ect nent officers of the association, and reported tuo following names, which were unanimously adopted For President, N. McGregor Vice President, How. u.mgiu oHuuii' vice i'resiuent, li.

Kerwin Ssorelary, Levy Maybaum Treasurer, John A. Welch. A coromittey renortod a OOXSTIXUTIOW AND DYj.AWS, which were adopted. The constitution declares that "0v organization shall bo kuo as the Seventh Hard Central Democratic Association, ar.d its objects shall be the discussion and dissemination of the principles of the Democratic party and the accompiishment of such reforms In the orgaaizatiou of the party in Kings County as will not only prevent tho entire control and management of the ntiairs of the party from falling into the hands of one or two persons, but will Bocure for every member of this association tho degreo of Influence to which, by the principles of the party, he ia justly entitled. The bylaws recite in a preamble the reasons for a re organization of the Democratic party, as follows: i'or many years past no Democratic organization has eilsted in Kings County which has commanded the confidence oi tho people.

he popular voice has been oupproiioeci at pnmanos ana otherwise, and all aspirants for office had to cringe to the dictation oi one man, whereby popular bovereignty has almost ceased to exist, and its advocates have onlv received contumely and abuse. The nominations made by such means have been beaten time aud again at the polls in this county, whose Democratic majority of 10,000 to 20,000 hat dwindled a to 200 or 3W in many instances, while our opponents elect their candldatca by Democrats remaining passive or voting for the candidates of tho Republican party, no confidence being placed in tho Democratic party as it now exists aud which only brings reproach to all concerned therein. A c'ontral Deniocratto Association has been formed in Kings County, for the rurpoao of purifying the Democratic party, and redressing the wrongs so long submitted to, so that overy Domocrat shall have a voice In its management aud every vote at its primaries shall be counted as cast. The respective wards have been invited to form aux llltary associations for the purpose of co operation with the Central Dcruooratle organization, that important reforms may bo carried out, and the Democratic party of Kings County restored to its original purity. UB.

N. MO QREOOB STEELE, thepresident of tho association, then delivered his in augural address, in the course of which he said The linooKLYN Eagle and the Independent Democrat now stand npon the same platrorin. The scene has changed since 1876 then an Independent Democrat was scarcely known to be ono was to ba accused of all eorte of crimes and misdemeanors, and ostracised entirely by Mb party. But the man who now adheres to the Boss will catch some of the same kludof lashings from the Eagle Independent Demoerats did iu years gone by. The formation' of the committee, of whom Hon.

William Marshall is head, gives all Independent Democrats and good citizens much to hope for, for iu it they sea the regeneration of the Democratic party iu Kings County, at last, and the placing of the party in an intelligent position boforo the people and in the bands of the people. The time haa at IaBt come for bosslsm to bo lopped off. aud ernebed out. It must be dug up root and branch, and driven out of the Democratic party of this county or down goes the party, for to boesiurn can bo directly charged all our reverses. To it we owe the Bpareeucsaof young men in our ranko to it all tho calamities whicli have befallen us during tho past ten years aro chargeable; by it and its system and methods of politics we have been everlastingly disgraced, as individuals and as a party, and tho far famed honosty of the Democratic party in years gono by has been sunk iu bosses, ignorance and rufnnnism.

Mr. Steele loecd with an appeal to young mon, upon whom, he aaid, rested the responsibility of preserving our republic MB. LEVY MAYBAUM, the sesretary, mads a brief address. Ua said I am a Democrat because I love free institutions I am a Democrat because 1 am in favor of local self government; I am a Democrat because the ilepublicau party, tracod through iU prcdeeescsord down to Its. very foundation, has always been a pariy of aristocrats Willi ariatocratio tendenciop, and tho Democratic party ha.

always been a party of, by and with tll neopie. 'i am opposed lo the ltepublicau party beaurio I am in favor of tho anti C'hiceKe policy; I am oppoao'I tho Republican party bocauso 1 am againtt centralization lam opposed to the Republican party Iiccsulc I an; in of tariff reform a protective tariiT to protect the laboring man, not to crush him nor to create and protect monopolies; I am oppost to thj Republican parly because 1 am favor ol unsccuriaui. im and nou sectionalism, and I am opposed to the Republican pat ty because they are not Democrats, and for rea 'onstoo num rouB to mention. The principle of tho Democratic party arc grand aud glorioue, and the people believe in thern nod are with them, but the trouble has beon of late that the principles of thu Democracy have governod less than the greed for power. Thij, and thid alone, has made tho one man power possibly tliia, and this alone, li.

is caused tho people of this nation to lo. their confidence in those who were suppoaod to represent the old pt luclplos of safety aud liberty, tho principles of the Democratic party. A strict construction of tho Constitution, which has always been a Democratic doctrine, would make silver aud gold tho only constitutional money iu the land yet Democrats were found who claimed to be such to advocate another doctrine. The old Democrats, always standing on the rock of principle, unwavering and staunch, could bo rolled upon by tho people to speak in no uncertain terms, yet wiseacres were found who put in tho Democratic platform the strange and flexible device, "A tariff for roveuuo The flag which has floated ovar Democrats and Republicans alike is too true to its emblematical signification to allow those words, capable of two interpretations, to deface Its beautif ul slars aud stripes; hence the Democratic defeat, aud the flag remains clean and pure. Say one thing or the other, but Bay that something definite and oertain.

The association adjourned to the second Monday in January, when a primary will be, held for the election of three delegates to the Central organization. Upward of 100 names aro enrolled, aud Borne of the roil lists nave not yet been sent in. CEECHER AND THE LABORER. The Organ of the rriothodist Church on the Theories! of the l'lyuioitlh Pastor. The Christian Advocate the official organ of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which the Kev.

James 51. Buckley, D. of this city and pastor of the Hanson place M. E. Church, is the editor takes up Mr.

Beccher'B remarks upon the oondition of the laboring man, as made public through tho columns of the Eagle, and discusses them as follows: To tho notorious remark attributed to Henry Ward lieechcr about a dollar a day and bread and water, wo attached little importance at the time, fur we know how easy It is for a rapid and impassioned sneaker to be incorrectly reported. Hut on Wednesday, December 1, the Brooklyn Eagle published a long interview with Mr. Boecher. The following passage will show that Mr. Beecher holds views of the workiogrnen'e relation to society which, on their faco, appear to us contrary to tho Gospel and to tho principles of a democratic Republic.

After some very judiciouB remarks, he says Take this example of cheap living The Good Samaritan in Brooklyn is an institution providing cheap food aud lodging for any one who may apply. The very beat materials the markets afford are obtained, and for five cents a man can obtain a hearty meal hearty for an ordinary man. For ten cents a clean bed and bath. For twenty five cents a day a man may live, if not sumptuously, at least abundantly And wholesomely. His observations on this point close with the following paragraph 1 nave been reproached for saying that $1 a day was enough for a laborer to live upon.

It is my belief that with an economical wife, who by her industry contributes to tho family store, and helpful children who also add to tho Income, a prudent man could not only support his family, but gradually aniasa a property on $1 a day. Of course, be could not do this and smoke away portion of his income in tobacco, nor swill it away in lager, or frolic it away iu all manner of sprees. What labor wants iu this country is moral quality not opportunity. In opposition to the Bplrit of that passage, we hold, that the laboror, tho mechanic, the employe of every grade, Is not only worthy of ihe price agreed upon called in the Bible, "hlB hire" but of a just compenKa tlon, graduated upon the relations of his labor to the final result and the necessities of life and society, where and while tho work is being done, and upon the exhaustion of vital force in doing it. The stupendous fortunes rolling up, the vast income from capitalists voluntarily paid to Mr.

Beecher, and others like him. show that the disproportion is sufficiently great to jus tify the devotion oi ma powers, to argument and Illustration on the other side. We would nut be construed into expressing, directly or Indirectly, any sympathy, full or partial, with communistic, socialistic, or agrarian ideas. In our recent article on "Imperfect Law versus Anarchy," the position of the Christian A deocnte on that point is definod. But instead of holding beforo the mechanic or laborer the ideal of thrift on $1 a day, we maintain that his wages should be adjusted to meet the following conditions 1.

Provision for a decent tenement and a taoie spread witn nutritious xoou lor clotulng, warm, durable anu neat. 1. He should be able to support hie children long, enough for them to got public school instruction sufficient for the ordinary affairs of lifo. 3. Ho should bo able to do these things and have at the end of each week a small surplus, for saving, for sickness and for benevolence.

No allowance should be made for intemperance, improvidence, or vice. Tho only oure for these is their consequences. Tho notion that the laborer with a family car. become thrifty on $1 day ia cruel and uureaaouablo. In cities two or three docent rooms cost from $7 to $10 per month.

A dollar day for six days in the week, holidays excepted, gives but $307 per year. To feed and clothe two, after paying the rent, without slokness, wonld exhaust all the rest. Tho birth of a child would cost the proceeds of two or threo weeks' work the doath of ono, much more a few weeks' sickuess cf. himself, wife or child, would make such a man a pauper. In the country rents and somft other noceBBariea aro choaper, but there can be no thrift, no accumulation $1 a day, unleBS tho man is a miser and lives like a dog in a manger.

What was dune fifty years ago, wheu things were different, reflects no light on the present condition of affairs. Concerning the Good Samaritan Mr. Beecher spoko without having aufUcieut investigated the facts. After rosdlng his statement called at that admirably conducted institution, and had tho following conversation with the superintendent "Sir, what do you charge for meals here?" "We charge five conts a.dish." "Is ono dish ouough.for a meal for an man "No our onstomars average ten cents a yiooe, aud than that would uotinako a meal for an ordinary man." "What do you charge. a bed 1 "Ten oents." "What could a man ami his wife, eating all their meals here, live per day.

for 1" "Not leas than ten conts each por meal." "If thoy had children 7" "They would oat as xanch." "Does the concern pay its expanses "It does." "How is this accorapSiBhod 1" "Wo buy largo quantities." "If a small number purchased forvihatr awn nse, could the a verago be. kept, down "It certainly could not." Thus it, would, coat a man and his. wife sixty cents day at the Good Samaritan for tbalrfood. If they twaohUdreu.it would take $1.29, and forty cents bedotng. HrJ If they rented rooms at $8 per month, never 'aadiaieknaea aud could keep their average prloa d'shidowrt to good Samaritan prices, they couid not flgur.e out the molt hioager living, at $1 par day.
