l'NCLI-Z JOHN I‘LEADS FOR A YOI'SG
' MEN‘S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
Theonc thing that mnkes life pleas-
ant. or even tolerable, is the Christian
faith. Even whcn all men believed the
earth was flat. its form and motion
afforded them the same beneflcent order
of seas us that we enjoy now. So,
though men. old or young, may argue
as they please against the gospel. it is
Hill the source of all the blessings of our
social life. The ”very men who chal-
Icngc prayer owe their life, and breath.
and mind. and hcart to that God who
has declared himself the bearer and
answerer of prayer.
“’0 (‘an‘t (live up the Young Men.

on behalf of the young men than that
of a Young Men‘s t‘hristiau Association.
lls object is to do good. especially to
young men. by offering them induce-
meals to spend their spare time to the
la st advantage to themselves in the
development of their minds, and to draw
them to seek that hi nobler and
purer life that is offered 26- one in
the Book of Truth. To this and we plead
for this cause. “‘9 earnestly ask all to
considcr this subject, and tticltend their

UNCLE Jonx.
" Cousin Jeremiah of the Choir “ Replies
to " l‘nclc John‘s" Criticisms.
Dear Uncle John: While looking
through the last issue of THE SENTINEL.
we came norms another of your learned
articles on church singimr: also your
very brilliant reply to Mr. Plaoe‘s letter.
and were greatly astonished to find that
you, for a moment. bad the impression
that the choir of the First M. E. church
should give so leirned an article as yours
but a casual e‘xsmination. So we hasten
to tell you that you do us a great in-
justice. Believe lue. we have done noth-
ing but examine that article ever since
its ublication. and our inability to find
the any valuable suggestions ouspeak
of is not likely owing to the epth and
magnitude of the affair.
We were heartily gratified. however.
in lookin over your article of the 9th,
to and st "agree with scabies
critic in a gent many ideas. For in-
stancc: you date that the sopranos were
the most prominent. We must say that
we agree wlth there. What retina:
able wees penetration on in
have. ”We were at cocci-upteyssed with
a decision. We are
But the climax of our admiration and
delight was reached when we read your
beautiful description of the battle (we
might say) between the sopranos and the
basses. thus: “As the melody rose. the
supranos would sweep down upon them
ttbc bassos) and effectually obliterate
them.“ And then again. you state that
one of the baasos fiattcd when singing?
above F and G. Now. the only time the
bassos sang above Fahd G. was when the
melody was on the rise. and the sopra-
nor-i were in the act. of efiectually obliter—
ating them. You can hardly realize the
feat you have accomplished by detecting
a tlatting in one voice when the part
was not at all distinguishable. We will
pass by this and say nothing. for to say
that we were again impressed would be
but a meagre description of our feelings.
And now another of your intense
thoughts. You state that “the alto is a
very beautiful part in singing.“ We
once again agree with you. so will say
no more in regard to that, as our lettcr
is growing rather large.
One more thought, however. presents
itself. and in justice to our organist we
would like to say a little something
about it. You state in your reply to Mr.
Place that that gentleman docs not 0-
tice what he preaches. Inasmuch as e is
of the opinion that a private criticism
wouldihavc been the proper thing. and
still criticises yotir intentions through
the newspaper. Now, we are quite [unti-
tru- that if you would only make some
use of that |N‘Ilt‘ll‘llll\'t'. ft-rlilc brain of
yours. you would rcaltzs the fact that
you arc writing \voiirublc urticlcst under
an assumed tiauic, and in an tintendodr
profoundly riiystcriorrs monitor. and. not
knowing who you arc. “‘0 arc at loss to
understand how that gentlcmun could
possibly coriio to you personally. For
Ullt‘r‘ wc urc tllSHlllIr'llllt‘tl in that penc-
tralivo brain of yours. \Vc \vill over-

htips you dcvotod your full stock of tlipt

Our esteemed contemporary. the New
York Sun says that "Danbury makes
one-fourth of all the hats worn in the
United States. It turns out hourly. on
an average, 1,343- hats.“ If the Sun
is approximately accurate in its interes-
ting statistics, the conclusion is inevit-
able that, as a rule. the men of this
country Wear old hats instead of new
ones. or course we know that the
women will not wear old hats if they
can help it. but we do not suppose they
are included in these calculations. If
1.343 hats are turned out hourl , in the
course of a year, allowing twe ve hours
a day and 310 working days. there would
be produced 4,995,960 hats. That multi-
plied by four would be 19.983340 hats
to protect the heads and satisfy the
tastes of the nearly 30,000,000 men and
boys in this great: and prosperous repub-
lic. But every man and every boy wears
at least two hats in a year, and as we
have suggested, this would indicate that
over 40,000,000 of the hats worn in the
country were old hats. When we attend
a league ball game we are sure that this
cannotbetrue; but when we put in a
day at a good old-fashioned cattle show
we are inclined to think it may be.

Our Congressman on the Labor Question.
Several of the State papers on Sunday
last contained letters written by most of
the Connecticut. congressmen to a com-
mittec representing the “Amalgamated
Trades and Labor Union“ of the state in
reply to a recent circular letter. The
letter desired to know if the person to
whom it was addressed would lend his
aid in favor of the following principles:—
First—That the public lands. the heri-
tage of the people. be reserved for actual
settlers: no} another acre for railroads or
speculators. and that all lands now held
for speculative purposes to taxed to the
full value.
Second—The abolition of the contract
system on all national works. and that
convict labor be not brought into com-
petition with free American labor.
Third—That a graduated tax be levied
on lands and incomes.
Fourth—That the importation of
foreign labor under contract be pro-
hibited. '
Fifth—That in connection with the
post office, the government shall organ-
ize financial exchanges, safe deposits
and facilities for deposits of the savings
of the people in small sums.
Sixth—The incorporation of trades
unions and such other organizations as
may be deemed necessary by the work-
ing masses to improve their condition
and protect their rights.
Seventh—That the government shall
issue all the money directly to the
plc. without the intervention of banks
or other corporations.
Eighth—That the government shall
obtain possession by purchase. under
the- rights of cmimuit domain. of all the
tc-lcgraplis. telephones and railroads. and
that hereafter no charter or license be
granted to any corporation for the con-
strucliun or operation of any means of
transporting intelligence. passengers: or
f reight.

I gear the government would be called

scheme presents to my mind so few ad-
vantages over the present system of
that I am not very
about it. Still. I don‘t
know as I should oppose it.
ldo not believe you can abolish the
system of letting government work to
the lowest responsible bidder without
increasing its Cost far above what it
ought to be. Some government work

it can advantageously be done by the
of labor direct by the
government. I should favor it. I do not
believe in putting convict labor in com-
p‘lltlon with honest and free labor.
As at present advised I am opposed to
the abolition of banks. I do not believe
there is much profit to the banks in
what is called "circulation.“ But as at
present advised I do not believe in the
issue of paper money by the govern.
Incnt beyond its present issue. unless

income tax as one means of raising

ate land owner by taxation. The man
whose all is in a little home seems to be
taxed more in proportion to his means
than an one else. I wise that could be

trades unions, my views as to the power
of congress in that respect removes the
question from practical consideration,
except so far as the functions of such
organizations aretto be exercised in the
District of t‘olumbia and the territories.

result of a strike in nine out of ten cases
is loss for all.

A (:larlng Defect In the Liquor License
Law.
{Waterbury Republican)
There is one glaring defect in the
present liquor license law which should
be promptly remedied by the iegishture.
It relates to the transferrin of licenses.
and enables a man to secretiy obtain the
authority to open a saloon in a neighbor
hood opposed to the misses. by obtains
ing a license for nine other loudly, and
then having that license transferred to
the coveted location. In other words.
while the law requires that a lic'ations
for licensee shall be advcr ' , it does
not require that applications for trans-
fers shall be. and hence. unless the
