WASHINGTON, D. C..April, 30, 1881.
. 0m GAZETTE :-
' 'Tlie BOurbon' Democrats in the Senate still
doggedlyadhere to their determination that
the Republican majority of that body shall
not govern. The Democrats surrendered all
the foundation on which they now essay to
, stand, when they allowed the Republicans
" their committees, but, forsootb, because the
same Republican majority insists that it
shall carry out its right to rule,the Democrats
assume and adhere to the revolutionary doc-
trinebthat ’they— a confessed minority—will
have their way in so far as Ofiicering the
body is concerned. The fight, of course, is
directed mainly at Mahonc a'nd his man Rid—
dlebcrger. The principal of the contest,
however, dwarfs all personal considerations.
If the Republicans surrender the principle
that they, the constitutional majority cannot
govern the Senate organization,then the whole
question is given up, and at any time and
upon any matter of serious legislation the
" minority can and will assert its power by
revolutionary means, to thwart the will of the
, majority whenever it shall please their high
mightiness. The country cannot be hood-
winked or deceived as to the vital issue; and
our senators are entitled to all praise for re-
maining here and resolutely resisting such ar-
rogance. It is precisely the issue that is to be
fought out and overthrown in the South, and
“there’s the rub.” Now and hitherto, these
southern Bourbons insist, that in their respec-
tive states, the Republican voters are largely
negroes; that negroes though in the majority
as to the number of their votes are not intel-
ligent enough to vote understandingly, hence
we, the minority and the old-time ruling
race, insist upon our right to frighten from
the polls all we can who oppose us, and
throw‘out,or fraudulently count out as many
votes as cannot be frightened out of the box,
as we deem needful to secure the election of
our party nominees, in a minority though
we be. The issueis now squarely before the
Republicans of the Senate, and all honest
men should rejoice that it is firmly to be met
and never given up until the right Of the
majority to rule is acknowledged in every
- place and in every state in this Union;
A canons
of the Republican Senators was held on
Wednesday, both before and after the day’s
session, at which the advisability of going
into executive session and confirming the
more important nominations, was fully con—
sidered. As a. result a committee of seven
to report a plzin of action was appointed, as
follows: Messrs. Dawes (chairman), Rollins,
Sewell, Cameron of Wis., Hill of 001., In-
galls and Jones of Nevada. Mr. Dawes had
a conference with the President in regard to
the situation, yesterday. The planas report~
ed is to go into executive session on Tuesday
on the Chib‘ese treaty. It will takea few
days to dispose Of-the treaty, and meanwhile
the committee will recommend a lot Of nomi-
nations for confirmation. The impression is
that the pending nominations will be con-
~firmed, except those of Messrs. Matthews.
Robertson and Chandler, which, in the in-
terest Of harmony, .may go. over to next
winter.
In the Senate, Thursday, Mr. Butler of
South Carolina, spoke in reply to Mr. Frye,
and denied that a greater degree of lawless-
ness prevailed in South Carolina than in
Maine. Mr. Burnside, in reply to Mr. But-
ler’s charges of an alleged bargain between
the Republicans and Mr. Mahone, thought
they contained nothing new, and-repeated
that the charges Of corruption against his
side were false. Mr. Hale spoke on southern
outrages,and’in reply to Mr. Butler’s charges
of lawlessness in Maine, stated that the dif-
ference between the two states was that
Maine punished her law breakers, while So.
Carolina allowed them to go unchastised.
The Senate then adjourned till Monday.
cmNESE TREATY. .
it is reported that there has been a great
change~in opinion on the Pacific coast in
regard to the Chinese Treaty now pending in
the Senate. When the terms of the treaty
were first made public it met with consider-
able condemnation from the Pacific coast
people. The recent influx of;large numbers
of Chinese has apparently overcome the
Opposition, and the expressions of opinion
are very generally in behalf of the adoption
of the treaty. Two vessels landed last week
»at San Francisco with nearly two thousand
Chinese immigrants on board. The discovery
that smallpox existed among the Chinese
caused alarm and indignation. The indica-
tions‘are that this treaty will be considered
and ratified in the Senate next week, as it is
likly to be made the first executive business.
The limitation it puts upon Chinese immi—
gration cannot be enforced, of course, until
all the forms of ratification and adoption
shall have been complied with.
roe-r orrIcE FBAUDS.
There are as yet no additional facts in
relation to the star route service affair ready
tobe given out by the Post Ofiice department.
For the past few days the men who are
making the'investigation have been engaged,
under directions from the head of the
department, in hunting out the clerks and
employee who had any connection with the
alleged ring. The chief clerk under 2d Asst.
P. M. Gen. Brady was summarily dismissed,
but on what specific charge is not known,
though the rumor is that it was feared that
he might give warning information to the‘
inculpated parties. Public opinion appears
about equally divided here as to the depart-
ment’s ability to prove the ption it, by
implication at least, charges upon Brady. It
is well understood the President will favor
no one,however exalted,found to be culpable,
yet, inasmuch as the “new evidence” is the
product of a once disgraced discharged
“detective" named Woodward, it is safe to
take the sensational accusations he puts afloat
with many grains of allowance.
KNIT GOODS.
A large delegation, composed of manufac-
turers of knit woolen goods, from New York
and Philadelphia, was granted a hearing by
Secremry Windom and Assistant Secretary
French of the Treasury Department, 10-day,
relative to the recent circular of the
department, which embodied the decision of
the United States Supreme Court in the case
of Victor et al. against ex-Cdlector Arthur
of the port ‘Of New York. There were also
present Senators. Hawley (Conn.), ll
(Vt), Hoar (Mass), Platt (Conn), Blair (N.
H,) and Mitchell (Penn). Hon. S. W. Kel-
logg of Connecticut, appeared as counsel for
the Knit ,GOods Association, and made an
able argument. insisting that no knit woolen
goods should be affected by the recent deci-
sion of the Supreme Court, and urged that
the Secretary of the Treasury should limit
his instructions to Collectors of Customs to
the single article in question in the Supreme
Court case,-_viz: Worsted Stockings. As the
whole trouble-grows out of an error in the
revision of the statutes, he contended that
other articles should paythe same duties as
heretofore,unlil that error could be corrected
by congress. The impression is that the
department will modify its former circular to
conform to the wishes of the manufacturers
as far asit can' do so under the decision.
This very seriously effects Connecticut,
New England and New York manufacturing
interests, as under the decision of the
Supreme Court upon which the Treasury
tariff circular is issued, manufactured knit
goods can be. imported some twenty-five to
thirty per cent. cheaper than can the material
out of which these various garments are
woven. . .

The fbllowing named gentlemen have been
appointed'government directors of the Union
Pacific Railroad for the ensuing year: A.
Kauntz, of New York City; S. T. Everett,
of Cleveland, Ohio; R. H. Baker, of Racine,
Wis; Chas. B. Peck, of Port Huron, Mich.,
and Geo. W. Frost, of Omaha, Neb. The
President would gladly have continued a
Connecticut man upon this direction could
our delegation have possibly united upon
any one. . - .
Tnnfknvron or Ex-anA'ron EATON.
Ex-S'c‘nator Eaton. of Connecticut, now in
the city, advises the Democratic Senators to
stick to their present position until 1883. He
also advises them to vote for the rejection of
Robertson, and says to help Conkling defeat
Robertson is to create a breach in the Repub-
lican party of New York that will give the
state to the Democrats. _ Senator Morgan of
Alabama, also introduced and had referred
to Gen. Burnside, as chairman of the Com-
mittee on Foreign Relations, our ex-Senator’s
somewhatfamous Monroe Doctrine Resolu-
tion. Gen. Burnside informs your corre—
spondent that he shall report it favorably to
the Senate at the first opportunity,to the end
that that notice may be served upon all the
world as to what the , United States will
expect as to the DcLesseps Panama Canal
project.

Senator Slater left Washington this morn-
ing for his home in Oregon, via the Union
Pacific Railroad to Kelton, Utah, and thence
by stage to Lagrande. He is paired with
Senator Platt, of Connecticut, for the
remainder of the smsion, which gives our
Senator the privilege he ought. and intends
to improve,of returning to Connecticut. He
has concluded to leave, for hgniapn Wednes-

Gen. Harmon, who has again been here
the past week, has. succeeded in getting a
regular army officer detailed for the inspec-
tion Of the Connecticut National Guard at
their Spring musters and reviews. It is ex-
pected that Gen. Sherman will detail an
officer now at Fort' Trumbull for this duty.
5TH OONN. vons. BOUNTIEs.
Gen. Harmon also gave his attention,
specially to the closing up of the old bounty
claims ofthe 5th Conn. boys. He brought
on quite a number of new claims and also,
learned that quite a number of those who
had filed claims for this 8100 had already
received it, and had sent in their claims
either in fcrgetiulness of the factor from not
fully understanding the matter, which is that
this bounty of $100 is tobe paid to such only
as never received any bounty whatever. As
many of the gallant 5th Conn. boys reen-
listed and continued their services. beyond
two years, they received a bounty by reason
Of such service and this :cuts them off
from the $100 bounty due only to such as
left the service on the expiration of their first
enlistment an thus never received any
bounty whatey . It isprobable, those who
have joined in the present application, have
done so under a misapprehension of the fact
that the receipt of any bounty from any
service, effectually bars payment of the $100
now being allowed. '
PERSONALS.
Gen. Hawley, although fully prepared,
did not deliver his speech in the Senate, as
he proposed to do when it adjourned. last
week. He is nursing it and keeping it warm,
however, and the fur may be expected to fly
when he does get his chance to fire upon the
enemy.
Secretary Blaine returned from New York,
Thursday evening, and has been at the State
Department as usual, since. Hon. William
Walter Phelps, recently nominated minister
to Austria, returned with Secretary Blaine
and will spend a few days in the city as his
guest.
Truly and literally a noble mother was
the wife of Rev. Mason Noble, D. D., of
this .city, who died recently. She was the
mother of Rev. Franklin Noble, of Hemp-
stead; Rev. Mason Noble, Jr.,of Shefileld,
Mass; Rev. Geo. P. Noble,'~of Cornwall-on-
Hudson, N. Y., and Rev. Charles Noble, of
Norwich, Conn..;,,,Tbat mother—what a life
she must havc'lived; and how large a prop-
erty-right she has had and still has in the
varied usefulness of her family.
A “society” paragrapher gives the follow-
ing item which will at least interest our Yale
and yachting boys :—Last Tuesday, at five
p. m., Miss Annie Glyde Wells, of Allegheny
City, daughter of Calvin Wells, Esq., presi-
dent of the Pittsburg Forge and Iron Com-
pany, and a leadingowner ,in the Philadel-
phia Press, was married at her parents’
residence to Robert J. Cook, a prominent
young :member of the Pittsburg bar. Miss
Wells was president of the present senior
class of Vassar College, and Mr. Cook was
the celebrated oarsman who captained the
famous 'crew of Yale College which surpass-
ed- all competing crews. The wedding was
elaborately beautiful, was solemnized after
the Episcopal form, and was participated in'
by. four bridesmaids. The groom and his
newly-made wife will first visit several
Eastern cities, and on May 11 will sail for
an: extended European trip in the steamer

Mr. James Cousins and family removed to
New York last week. ‘
Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Woodward arrived
home on Saturday last.
Mrs. Merritt, of South Norwalk, has gone
to Kansas on a visit to her brother.
The Rev. 0. W. Gates and wife, expect to
leave San Diego, Cal., for the east, this week.
, Mrs. Perley H. and Mrs. Wm. C. Glines
expect to start for Ohio this week. They
will be followed by their husbands, next
month, on their imported bicycles. -
Mr. E. 0. Stuart returned last week from
strip to Kansas. He stopped at Niagara
Falls upon his return. We are indebted to
him for copies of St. Louis andKansas City
papers. -
Err-Warden Morison’s party arrived home
frpm Nassau on Friday evening last. They
were passengers on the ill-fated steamship,
City of Austin, which was wrecked on the
Pelican sand banks inside of the Fernandina
bar. At the time the vessel grounded the
water was quite still and it was supposed the
vessel wOuld have little trouble in getting
of. Most of the passengers were taken to
Fernandina on a tug, expecting to find the
steamer there in the morning ready to resume
her journey. During the night, however, the
water grew rough, and the vessel became a
total wreck. NO lives lost.

The iron work for the new bridge is now
daily expected. ‘ The committee find that the
old bridge over the Union Co’s canal is very
rotten, and that it will be necessary to con-
struct a new one.’ This they will do from
good material on hand which was taken from
the old bridges.

- Messrs. Perley H. and William C. Glines
have ordered bicycles from England for their
own use, which they expect to receive this
month. The expectation is that they will
prove far superior to any made in this coun-
try. They intend using them on. their con-
templated trip with Professor Rallin'son lb

Thou eminent devotees "of purification in

“ time their donuncistionsof the Republican
Senators for a supposed bargain
_ with Senator
Muhone of Virginia, by which the latter, it
is said. gives his vote in return for Federal
patronage in Virginia and the election to of-
fice of his friend Riddleberger. There is s
cat hidden in the meal barrel to which the
attention of our readers should be called.
The presence of the animal is studiously ig-
nored, of course, in the Democratic speeches,
but her tail occasionally sticks Out even here.
Connecticut readers can have no just idea
of Southernlocal'politlcs. Leta good Non.
walk Democrat, bred in the bone, dyed in
the wool, who swears by the Resolutions of
1798, gotoVirginia to live. He will find
that he has nothing to say there, as he has
here, about politics. In every county the
nominations are cut, dried and seasoned be-
forehand. for him by two or three self-ap-
pointed Bourbons, F. F. V's, who know his
political business better than he does, and
who, through their younger and more rest
less relatives, will burn his barns, kill his
stock and drive him out of the country if he
dares say his soul is his own. These few
county leaders control the state-donventions,
and every Senator from a Southern State,
with the single exception of Mahone, is the
legitimate product of this villainous system.
Here is' the head and front of Mahone’s
Offending; he is the embodiment, the per-
sonification of revolt against ring rule in the
South. Not because he is arepudiator—they
could stand that with complete fellow feel-
ing; not because he is an ex-rebel—they are
all of them tarred with the same stick; not
because he wants an ofiice for his friend
Riddleberger—any of them would sell his
soul for those good fat Federal offices ;.but
because he is the first rift in the tyrannical
rule of cliques and families which hag made
the Solid South, the representstives of those
cliques and families in the Senate are after
his scalp-and have caught a Tartar.
Of course all this would not excuse the
Republican Senators if they had made any
“bargain” with Mahone ;_ they afiirm that
they have not, and the country will hesitate
word of Joe Hawley and Ambrou E.
Burnside upon a charge, without an attempt
at proof, by Ben. Hill and Joe. Brown. If
proof couldbe offered, it would be forth—
coming instantly; its absence is the most
emphatic disproof of the charge. The plain
fact is that the Republican party has long
been waiting to break the Solid South by
adopting any respectable faction in it, and it
therefore nominated Riedldberger to this
petty ofiice. If Mahons out of gratitude has
chosen to vote with the Republicans it is his
business; and if the material is poor, it can
onlybe said that it is the best which the
South offers, and that a short membership in
the Republican party will educate it to hon-
esty better than ten years in the Democratic
ranks. The country is not stupid; it well
knows that Democratic wrath is not indigna-
tion at any bargain, but spite at the loss of
its only basis of existence in the South.

Widow Bedott.
Neil Burgess, as the Irreprcssiblo widow,
will grace the boards at Music Hall next
Saturday night. Of all'the laughable plays
produced on the stage, this takes the cake.
It is a roaring farce from begining to end.
It will be sure to draw-a larger house than it
did the first time here. ‘
The full gamut of laughter was traversed
last evening at Comstock's, from the incip-
iency of the smile to the explosive guf-fsw,
a dthe subsiding tremble of the ribs. The
~ idow Bedott is distinctively a one chamo-
ter piece with three sections of fun to it.
The dramatization follows closely the orig-
inal, and in the dinner scenes Elder Sniifies
refuses the chicken pie, etc., in almost the
exact words of the boo .,
As a delineator of the female, Neil Burgess
is an unqualified success, but the penis of
laughter he causes do not originate so much
from his comic actions as from the ridicu-
ous repartees and the quaint essence of fun
that permeates all the Widow’s remarks.
His intonation is the secret of his sucwss.
His amazement which leads to his frequent
ejaculation of “Great Guns!” is button
bursting, because he adeptly swallows the
last word. ‘ -
Burgess must have been in the very arms
of Momus when he described an angel
“sitting on a wet cloud and pecking at an
old harp.” The support is good. ,

feeling on the ground in a very excited man-
ner. Upon Mr. Bundle asking him what was
the matter, the man said he wanted to kill
him and then begged Randlo to help him find
the stones to do it with. Mr. Bundle at
once surmised he was crazy, and signalled to
the rest of the force when the man started.
off on a dead run, with Chief Sullivan and
ofiiereForest after him, but succeeded in
getting away. Possiby he was the same
person, evidently crazy, who was arrested in

account of the Lord’s work in that memora-

Obituary. .
Capt. Fred. Jarvis, for many years a resi-
dent of Norwalk, died at his residence on the
old road to Westport, last week, and was
buried on Saturday from St. Paul's church.
A more extended notice will be found in our
Westport column. ~
Mrs. Louisa Jessup, wife of Dr. Thomas
B. Gunning, died in New York on Wednes-
day last; April -27th. The dcceswd was
mother of Mr. W. J. Gunning of this'plsce,
and sister ongrs. James Reed,n0w of Ashto-
bula, Ohio. She belonged to an old Wilton
family, and was born and spent her youth at
the old homestead in that place.

Change of Pier.
A telegram from Corn. Perkins announced
that hereafter the steamer Adelphi will land
and receive passengers at the foot of Thirty-
first street instead of Thirty-third street as
heretofore. ’
The Adelphi is running so smoothly this
season, and giving such good satisfaction,
that Admiral White is said to hesitate about
taking’her Off, believing that she will really
please the people better than the Americas.
She is certainly commodious and comfortable
and is not surpassed in speed by any boat out
of New York, while being deeper in the
water than the Americas she is thought by
those who claim to know about such matters
to be even more sea-worthy than that boat.
With new boilers, however, the Americus
will probably be improved somewhat in
speed and if put on the route will give good
satisfaction undoubtedly. '

Leonard & Son have commenced the
foundations for the new Borough scales,
which are to be located in front of thchd-
sm’s House. The scales are supposed'to be
for the public benéfit, but how they are to be
used, under what rules and regulations, etc. ,
has not yet been stated “officially." That
there will .be opposition if people are to be
forced to use the scales ‘will be vary natural.
In many cases, however, the scales cannot
fail to be of benefit to the public at large.

It will be seen from an advertisement in
another column that our friend Sturges has
taken the agency for Norwalk of the Union
Investment and Promoting.Co., of NewYork.
This company, which is represented to be a
very solid and reliable concern is made up of
New York, Connecticut and Boston capital-
ists and makes a specialty of introducing div-
idend-paying investments in mining proper-
ties. Our Norwslk capitalists can now have
a chance to share in the profits of a- business
which when well managed, is [said to be
very profitable. The first stock they Oder to

but simply direct attention to the company,
presuming that all who desire to invest will
examine the matter for themselves and be
their own judges. We wish Statues success
in his new enterpiise, and expect a future
of fat dividends for Norwalkens in this matter.

Hall, and tickets werelimitcd to the seating
capacity of the Hall. The exercises com-
menced promptly at 8 o'clock, Grand Master
E. J. Hill presiding. All forms and ceremo-
nies peculiar to the Order were dispensed
with, and: the members did not appear in re-
galis. The following order of exercises was
observed :

In his, address the Grand Master confined
himself chiefly to statistics showing the
present condition of Our Brothers’ Lodge,
and the Order throughout this jurisdiction.
As it will‘be of interest to many of our
readers who were not present we give below
the substance of the address so far as it
relates to this Lodge:
Members of the Order-Jodie; and Gentlemen .-
To me has been assigned the pleasant task
of briefly recounting the work of this Lodge
as shown by thestatlstics gathered from an
experience of thirty-nine years since its in-
stitution in this community. Its roll of
members contains the names of 647 persons
initiated, 293 of whom are now in active
membership. 07 have been taken from our
number 'by death. Assuming the average
membership for the whole period to have
been 145, and the avenge death loss being
1.7 per snnum. the percentage of loss by
death during our entire history is shown to
have been only 9.18 of the membership per
snnum. This surely is a very favorable com-
ment upon the care ’and discretion shown in
the acceptance of applicants.
There have been 826 cases of relief, being
an average of 10.4 each term and to
these Brethren our Lodge has paid the sum
of $20,387.58. In addition to this there has
been paid to the Widows, and Orphan chil-
dren'of our deceased Brethren, $1,579.34 for
purposes of relief, and as funeral benefits
the further sum of $2,630.00. Add to this
the transient relief and amounts paid for
watchers and care of sick and we have a
grand total of $25,258.90 expanded and dis-
bursed in this community during these years
for benevolent and charitable purposes.
Consider this for one moment. For thirty-
nine years the members of this Lodge have
each contributedtoits funds 85 per year,
and $4.46 of it have been applied to the
benevolent work of the Order, and for the
past year, the average has increased to 84.58
per member. Brethren, no stronger argu-
ment could be offered, no more positive
proof be given, that our Order is faithful to
its principles, than is shown by these figures.
Have we not then a right to be, aye, more
than that, have we not a right to stand up
and with head erect boldly challenge any or-
ganized systematic benevolence, to a com-
parison with that of this Order. But some
so a right and pay their dues upon principles
'0! insurance and not from charitable motives.
To a certain extent this is true, and yet from
a personal experience of fourteen years, I
know that in the vast majority-of cases the
relief extended by this Lodge has proved a
blessing to those who paid it and a timely
assistance to‘ those who received it, and I
care not what motives may prompt a man to
enter upon a practice of systematic benevo-
lence, he cannot continue in it and witness
its results without absorbing something of
the precept that “it is more blessed to give
than to receive.” '
Our record for the past year is as follows:
Income, 82,892.08
Paid for relief, $1,307.83
Expenses, 677.71 $1,985.04
Net gain for the year, 3
We hold in cash and securities, $12,094.51
Lodge property, . 2 500.00
. » $14,594.51
Brethren, as we contemplate our privi-
leges, our opportunities and our ability, have
we not reason to be thankful to our Heaven-
ly Father for the past, and humbly pray that
he will guide and 'direct us in the grand fu-
ture that awaits us. ‘
The principal address of the evening was
made by the Chaplain of the Grand Lodge,
Rev. Dr. E. W. Maxcy, of Bridgeport, who
spoke _of Odd Fellowship as “Organization
based upon sympathy.” It is quite needless
to say that it was an able and eloquent ad-
dress, effectively Ldelivered, and received
with evident pleasure by the audience.
The musical exercises under the direction
Of Mr. H. P. Price .added greatly to the
enjoyment of the audience. Miss Libbie
Selleck presided at the instrument, and Miss-
Alico Selleck rendered a solo in a very
pleasing manner. The quartette was com -
posed of Messrs. Price, Hoyt, Warren and
Youngs, and the several selections which
they rendered were received. with‘pplause.
After his recitation of “Old Associations,”
Vlce Grand Crew in response to an encore
recited a short dialect sketch which was very
amusing. The exercises closed at half—past
nine o'clock,-a very sessonable hour,—and
the audience retired evidently pleased with
the manner in which the entertainment had
been conducted throughout.

can be obtained without the slightest trouble.

The thirty-seventh semiannual sesllon of
the Grand Division .of S. of T., was bold in
New Canaan on Thursdnylast, in the Hall of
of Friendship Division No. 10. The meeting
was called to order at half-past ten o'clock,
by the G. W. P.,~Jobn G. North in the chair,
their being about one hundred and fifty
were eleven new members initiated. The
reports of the Grand officers showed the
order to be in a thriving condition, and the
reports from ‘the different divisions were read
showing them to be doing n'good work
throughout the State.
Delegates to. the National Temperance
Convention at Saratoga, on J une 21st, were
appointed as follows: John G. ,North, New
Haven; H. H. Quintard, Hartford; George
R. Bill, New Haven; Selleck Youngs, Nor-
walk; Rev. S. J. M. Merwin, Wilton; Rev,
Julius Nelson and Edwin Hoyt, New Canaan.
It was voted to hold the State Picnic at
High Bock Grove, on July 271b, and the
following general committee was appointed
to make arrangements for it: George R.
Bill, Henry E. Batchelor, Fred. M. Hawley,
H. H. Quintard, Mrs. Theodore Raymond,
Mrs. W. A. Kellogg and Mrs. R. Guthrie.
The dinner in Raymond’s Hall provided by
the members of Friendship, wss‘like their
division—first-elass in every respect. The
afternoon session was taken up with reports
of the representatives of the difierent divis-
ions, and short speeches. Afeature of the
meeting was the song “Where is my Boy
tO-night," sung by Master Eddie Smith of
Danbury. A unanimous vote of thanks was
tendered Friendship Division for the fine
entertainment given the Grand Division.
The session then closed to meet in annual
session in October next at Norwslk. '

The committee on the state of the order re-
ported as follows: ,
The committee on the state of the order
would respectfully snbmit the following re-
port. We-commond the report of the grand
worthy patriarch to the careful consideration
of every member of the order and we trust
fruitful in practical results. The fidelity and
diligence of the grand worthy patriarch .in
visiting and encouraging the subordinate di-
visions is worthy of special commendation
and if continued through the year can but
greatly promote the interest of our order.
e congratulate the brothers and sisters upon
the spirit of harmony which prevlls through-
out the order and the increasing disposition
to co-operate manifested by the friends of
temperance in their various organizations
through the land, and we trust that this
grand division will be fully represented at
the next temperance convention at Saratogs,
June 21,not only by the delegates ap ointed
but by all who can possibly attend. he re-
port of the grand worthy temp r shows a
urge increase of additions durl g the last
quarter and a decrease in the number of sus-
pensions. The slow increase in the aggre-
gate number from year to year owing to the
large number of those who fall back, points
out unmistakably an imperative obligation to
watch over one another with greater constan-
cy and more tender sympathy and devotion.
We should be mindful that while it- is a bles-
sed work to reinstate a brother who has fallen,
it is yet more blessed to keep him from falling
if possible, Notwithstanding the failure on
the part of our legislature to include cider in
the list of intoxicating drinks restricted by
law, we are not disposed to relax in the least
our efforts to secure the prohibition of the
sale of this intoxicang, which is working such
mischief especially in our rural districts, and
contributing so largely to swell the tide of
intemperance in its desolating career through-
out our land. In view Of the small number
Of new divisions organized during the last
ear and the fact that so many places of no
ittlc influence—are without any active. tem-
perance organization, we recommend that
special efforts be made to organize new, divi-
sions of the Sons of Temperance and that
