The national encampment taught the

people of the country something. They '

showed that the Grand Army of the
Republic is not an organization for grasp-
ing everything for the soldiers at the
expense of the country. The, service
pension proposition of $8 a month to
every soldier and sailor who served in
the war. whether disabled or not. was
defeated. and the spirit of the gathering
was that of patriots and sensible men. or
men who deserve honor of their country
and who have the respect to which they
are entitled—l Newburyport Herald.

Last week we got the sentiments of
Mr. Ellendorf in the utterance that “ no
trouble“ between employers and em-
ploved is a state of affairs to be avoided.
because it nieans great benefits to em~
ployers and great damage to the em-
ployed. This sizes up the whole matter
with him. Evidently trouble is what he
is after. because not of it comes occupa-
tion for him. Most people believe that
peace between employers and employed
is to their mutual benefit. but when
peace reigns Ellendorf‘s occupation is

From recently~published statistics of
the Union Army. it appears that of the
2.359.132 soldiers. 400.041 were from
Southern States. S )me of the Southern
States furnished more soldiers to the
Union Army in proportion ’to their
population than any Northern State.
Delaware had in 1‘60 only “.273 white
males between the ages of eighteen and
forty-five; she sent 13.070 men into the
Union Army. which equaled 74.“ per
cent. New Hampshire contributed only
54 per cent.: \‘ermont and Massachusetts.

and Ohio. till; Kansas. 72. and Indiana.
74. Maryland had 102.713 white males
of army age. and 50.310 of them did ser-
vice for the I'iiion. being almost exactly
49 per cent. Kentucky had 130.330 men
to call upon. and 70.025. or nearly ll per
cent. responded. Missouri liai121i3.781

into the Union Army. being almost 4?

of \Yest Virginia 33.00“ were in the
Union Army. and Tennessee furnished
31.092. Iii short. nearly one-eighth of
the I'nion soldiers came from the South.

Yale sent out this week a hundred or
more students. With their sheepskins and
high hopes. Ily and by the boys will
get their eyes open and find that sheep.
skins don‘t always bring success. The
late illustrious governor of New York.
Alonzo ll. l‘orncll. lifted his finger from
the telegraph key that he was working
one night and said to a comrade. “Ily
the powers. cheek and nerve are what
wrn in these days. and for the next ten
years I am going to display my share.“
He did, and before ten years elapsed be-
came governor of New York. The genial
and all pervading Gallagher. James. of
New Haven. emphasized the truth in
still more striking and picturesque lan~
guage. "Its gall my dear boy: it‘s gall
that scoops the hucltleberries." said be
when he captured the nomination for
mayor of New Ilaven by a brilliant and
audacious dispensation of this quality.
and though “gall“ seems not to have
captured for him the huckleberry of New
Ilaveii‘s collectorship. yet he no doubt
still has faith. in the light of his expeb
ience. in the soundness of that opinion.
By and by when Yale boys look around
on this later world of ours they will be
apt to be impressed with the accuracy of
Gov. Cornell‘s viewa. It depends some-
what upon whether or not their view
of success is the smile as that of our

TIIE’I’OOR .l.\'D THE RICH.

The conflict between capital and labor
is as old as history itself and. in all pro-
bability. will continue indefinitely. The
man who spends all he earns as he goes
along does not become a capitalist; the
man who denies himself of present grat-
ification in order that he may have
something laid by for the future does.
It naturally comes to pass that the man
who has eaten his cake in a little while
becomes envious of the man who still
has his cake left. and wants the latter to
divide.

While no amount of moralixing or ar~
gument will allay this antagonism. well
mys the Philadelphia Times, which is
imbedded in the very nature of humans
ity. it is well at times to look closely at
the relative positions occupied by the
two opposing forces as compared with
former periodsstill within the memory
of people of advanced years. It is an
old cry that the poor are growing poorer
and rich richer. Is it true? What pro-
portion of the rich men of this city in-
herited their wealth and have increased
it? What proportions of the fortunes of
to-day will be perpetuated and increased
by the descendants of their present pos-
sessorsl A careful investigation into
these features of the increase and stabil-
ity of wealth would show that the great
bulk of the wealth of this comparatively
conservative city is in the hands of
those who accumulated it themselves,
and it is quite likely that the most of it
will be scattered to the winds by the
next generation. 0a the contrary, the
gray-hairudmnof to-day knows that
the workingmen of the present live in
w housm, better furnished. and that
they are fed and clothed better by long
odds than the workingtnen of half a

ruling wages fifty years ago? The actu-

al rate of wages paid by all branches of
business has advanced very materially
in that time and it cannot beshown that
their purchasing power has declined.
The men who agitate for a division of
present accumulations of capital and the
inauguration of a communistic era keep
these very pertinent facts entirely out of
sight. But the men to whom they appeal
with their windy exhortations to destroy
the present order of things cannot afford
to ignore them. The truth of it is that
the wealthy men of the present genera-
tion in this country began life poor and
the wealthy men of the next generation
will be recruited from the ranks of the
boys whose parents are poor now. And
the average condition of the working-
man of today is beyond compare in ad-
vance of what it has been at any former
period—Yonkers Statesman.

“ “‘orkiiinn " Again.

[Mir Sentinel; ~I'erniit a few more
words from my pen to all the workmen
of South Norwalk who are men of plin-
ciplc. standing upon their own sense of
manhood. of right. of justice. and of
good will to their fellow men. be he cap-
italist or laborer wrth his hands instead
of his brains-for I do not discover any
difference as a laborer. except that those
we call bosses have the hardest kind of
work to do. My attention has been
drawn particularly to our noble
friend Tom Ilussing. who has had the
pluck to come oiit before thccoiiimunity
as a batter grown tired of this shameful
warfare inaugurated by “ the commit-
tee“ of the batters union against the
[Misses as they term it. but in reality
against themselves-Aired as any honest
luau 'ires of deviltry. Ifc may by sheer
compulsion endurti it for a season. but
there comes a time when patience ceases
—then you better stand from under. "

Ilis appeal is to \vorkmeu as a " duty
we owe to ourselvcs‘~ to stop this war

fare. “on": As stated in his last 3""-
fence—give us another committee. Yes.
my friends. there is your salvation. t‘an

you seeit‘: If you can. dare you lake
the robbers of your peace and summa~
rily thrust them out from you ‘3 Mr.
llussing says. " for since the settlement
they have made of us a stench in the
nostrils of all decent men.“ I am afraid
it is too true. Ilow many men we meet
several timesa day who hardly recog—
nize us.‘nud thequestion comes tip. why":
and we have the answer in thequottition
above. llecent people outside of the
batters union do not know us except as
batters. union men—which also means a
body of their good and bad alike. coin-
rounded by the worst element in the or-
ganization.

Is it well governed ? In order that the
union may as a body accomplish its pur
pose as to wages with its bosses are they
the men to act:wisely and well in settle-
ment of dillicultics between them and
us': Your answer'is in the assessments
being nuw paid and likely to be imposed
upon you to support these good-for-notlr
mg. lazy fellows who occupy the three
corners day and night. like unto the us-
ual pawn broker shop -sign of the three
giu'It balls. ll spell it different. think-
ing the change more appropriate.) With
these men the community always finds
batters in conversation. It makes no
difference what about. If it were of
the heavens as remote from the batters
thoughts. still they set him down as a
friend of the guilt balls. The old saying
comes to the people's mind quicker than
a flash of lightning—“ a man is known
by the company he keeps.“ and it takes
a good deal of persuasion to destroy the
opinion thus formed.

It has become a stench in 'the nostrils
of all men. and the only way to rid
yourself of it is to purify the organiza-
tion-turn the rascals out. This was the
election or . Let every true‘minded.
sensible. so r man come together: let
their names be known. headed by the
plucky Tom Busaing. and in the fear of
God elect men. true and honest to all
parties concerned. and restore to the
union a name which is not a stench.

As in everything else. the innocent
suffer with the guilty. So. take a hro~
ther‘s advice. Give the men who have
almost ruined you a very wide berth.
Shun them as vipers. Discard the Boy-
cotter and Mechanics Funeral paper.
(iive Tammany an endless vacation.
And if you have assessments to pay put
the money in honest men‘s bands. who
will cheerfully render statements of dis
bursements made. and who will not
cover up their transactions from their
brothers. Dare you show your names
sothat decent people shall know who
are true men. Now all the union men
are grouped in one class. and a low one
at that. Why? Simply because they
allow the roughs to run it, and the bet~
ter portion by silence give their consent
toit. Now is the day of salvation to
you. Be up and doing.

"01d flatter" and Mr. Ellsndorf.

Editor of the Snmrxnm—Laat week
Mr. Ellendorf in his paper which he calls
the Mechanic‘s Journal. says I must be a
poor hatter as far as workmanshi goes.
or else a foul hatter. Now I won d like
to say to Mr. Ellendorf that if he is no
more able to judge of work than he is to
do it. his opinion is‘nt worth much. If
there ever was a “bum“ workman he is
one. and when he talks about “scabs."
I should think he would blush. for he is
“scabh " in more senses than .one. He
talks a t my notstanding my hand. I
would like to know where he ever could
stand his except on the cheap kinds of
work: but he was as good a batter as he
is editor. so you can understand what a
“clod” he must be. He accuses me of
writing lying trash toinsult the common
sense of his fellow workmen and the
community at large. He's got he
cheek of an army mule to talk to me
about lying. If the devil shnu not
me to hunt up the biggest liar on earth
at present I shouldn’t go out of this
town to find him, but would point toour
great secretary and say : There he is.
and he'll never be beat by an thin in

with the secretary on any account. and
when I want to know who is at work I
can find out for sure in some other way.
His word and his books wouldn‘t satisfy
me on that score. He might spill a bot-
tle of ink on the books, and that would
spoil the record.

He wants me to stop writing for the
SENTINEL. go to work or else emigrate.
I‘ll guarantee I‘ve done more square
work at batting in the last six months
than he has in the last year. learn my
living at my trade. He can't, earn his
Il\'_lng at his. so he has gone to “scab“
editing. Vbe don‘t you go for the
“scab" editor. According to his own
doctrine he‘s a “scab“ of the worst kind.
because he never learned the editor‘s
trade. and never can. And then what
sort of printer has he got to do his
paper. “Pusey“ is the worst kind of
“scab“ printer. He never learned any
trade at it at all. He talks a good deal
about “scabs“ too. .And there‘s Joe.
Now if you want a workman. get Joe.
All the boss batters are crazy to get him.
He‘s no “scab." oh no! I would like to
see a store opened somewhere to sell hats
made by such workmen as Jule and Joe.
You couldn't retail them in Baxter
street at fifty cents apiece. But. they
are great reformers. One wants to re~
form a dollar and a half a year out of
workmen to read his trash; and the
other one wants to reform assessments
out of the little wages we who work do
get to keep him in cigars. good clothes.
pay his expenses to New York and so on.
We‘ve had a good deal of their reform
and it all reforms to their benefit and
not us. They‘ve run things till they
both got into business at our expense.
But what have we got '3 They tell us a
great victory. \Yell I should think so.

and to work at wages that we couldn‘t
take because they would make us beg-
gars and prostitutes. It is an immense

you don‘t earn your money in that shop
yoti don‘t earn it anywheres. \Yhat do
you suppose they want to keep tip this
fight for? For us ': Not much. They
are the only ones who get any benefit out
of it. If it hadn‘t been for this strike
Ellendorf would have had to emigrate
himself. He couldn‘t make it go :it the
bench. There wasn't a man in the trade
much \vorse off. If the thing had been
settled as it ought to he‘d been out. And
he knows if Adiitns and Ililly Brown
are dropped there's nothing left for him.
except he goes to Ilinbury. and it
wouldn‘t be healthy for him there.

I've read the SESTINEL a good many
years. and I have always found it square
and straight. I don‘t believe it ever

when two large founhorse carryalls.
loaded down with a good-natured lot of

came rolling up the street at a rapid

Though they were indeed Odd Fellows.
there was nothing particularly queer or
strange about them—unless we except
the fact that they were all good-looking.
odd as it may seem. They were mem-
bers of Butler Lodge. South Norwalk.
who had come to make a fraternal visit
with their brothers of Wooster Lodge.
and 'instruct in the secret work of the

they have made themselves the most
proficient of any Lodge in the State.
After performing the work of the second
and third degree in a very superior man-
ner. and exchanging congratulations and
good wishes. the visiting hrethern were
invited to the Crosby House by Wooster
Lodge, where an unsually fine collation
had been prepared by mine host. Crosby.

More I‘roublo for oyster-men.

The N. Y. Tribune this morning con?
tains the following dispatch : Henry C.
Rowe has just discovered on his Sound
oyster beds a destructive mud coral in-
sect which is killing seed oysters by the
million. It has not yet been named
scientifically. but has been submitted to
the State Shell-fish Commissioners for
identification. Out of 100.000 bushels of
oysters planted by Mr. Rowe one year
ago. in twenty feet of water. over 80.-
000 bushels have been smothered by 1
the beds. The discovery excites much
interest among oyster men along the
Sound.

When angels \vill beckon us o‘er.

To our homes with our loved ones in angelic cilrlics.
To chant songs of love cvernmre.

"I‘m so glorious to know. after life herii below.
Its trials and troubles all o‘er.

Together we‘ll stand an unbroken band.
(in Eden‘s bright. twantiful shore.

We. shall sing all to. ‘lhcr. and greet one another

Yes. dear father and mother. sisters and brothers.
