Beecher's Idea Of How to Spend Sunday.

| Inc NOW i OrK Herutd OF May Sd
contains partial report of III. w.
Beecher's sermon the day before,
from which we take the following:
Mr.. Beecher's subject was "How
to spend Sunday" and the text Sc
lected was the thirteenth and four
teenth verses of the fifty-eighth
chapter of Isaiah: of thou turn
away thy foot from the Sabbath,
from doing my pleasure on my holy
day, and call the Sabbath q delight,
the holy of the Lord, honorable !;
and shall honor Him, not doing
thine own ways, nor finding thine
own pleasure, nor speaking thine
| own words-tben shalt thou delight
thy self in the Lord and | will
cause thee to ride upon high places
of the earth and feed thee with the
heritage Of Jacob, thy father; for
the mouth of the Lord has spoken
it,"
lie claimed for the Sabbath great
liberty 1t was day in which man
could develop his manhood and all
that was best in him. Many persons
mistook this object, and they brought
up their children with such gloomy
associations surrounding that bright
est of all days of tho week that it
made the children wish that Sunday
only came once o month, and if it
were to skip that they would have
no objections. (Laughter.) He was
one of eleven children, and in his
fathers family Sunday was dressed
in this puritanical fashion. There
were one or two books he might
read on a Sunday; there was the
Bible and the Catechism, and books
equally interesting, but il he got his
"Robinon Crusoe" he was told to
put that away, for it was not a Sun
day book. There was one pleasant
remembrance in those dull Sundays.
A negro servant of the family would
take him in her lap, aud she had
lap large enough for a sitting room
couch (laughter) and this girl
would tell him tales. All fathers
and mothers should make Sunday a
a bright, cheerful day for their chill
dren, and if they did not do that it
was their fathers and mothers who
were Sabbath breakers and not their
children.
He then turned to the question of
work on Sundays, and claims that
all necessary work was lawful TO be
done on that day. He refused and
would always refuse to sign any
petition for stopping the running of
cars on Sunday. he did not wish to
make poor mans Sunday any less
comfortable than rich mans Sun
day. Some people seemed to think
it was terrible thing to desecrate
the Sunday by allowing a car driver
to lose his half Sunday who was
perhaps instrumental in getting two
hundred people TO Plymouth church
but they thought it a very proper
thing for a coaohman to lose bis half
Sunday in driving five people in 8
carriage to the same church.
(Laughter.)
Tho Sunday excursions were de-
nouneed as not needful to the work
ing classes, who could obtain their
recreation on other days, but walks
in the country, where nature could
become means of grace, were en-
couraged and approved.
In this practical way sermon,
which in all probability will excite
controversy, was studded with gems
of practical wisdom and brilliant
wit.

The International WorLingmen's Asso-
ciatiOn.

Rarely, ifever, has a popular movement
beginning with small resources attained 30
rapid growth and so deep hold upon the
popular mind as the International Working.
mems Association. 1t was started in Eng
land in 1864, by members of the Trades
Unions there, in connection with q few prom.
inent thinkers, the foremost of whom was
KARL MARX, the author of many remarka-
bic works on political economy and politics.
The fundamental idea of the Association is
that rs the suifcrinEs of the working classes
are the same in all nations, and caused to
great extent by international agencies, the
remedy ought also to be international-an
organization of the workers of all nations
upon the same Platform and with the same
political and social aspirations.
This idea spread like new gospel to the
continent of Europe. Four International
Congresses of Workingmen have taken place,
in Geneva in 1906 in Lausanne, Switzerland,
in 1867, in Brussels in 1868, and in Basel in
1863, each subsequent one representing a far
larger number OF constituents. The Associa-
tion is now firmly established in England
and Scotland, Holland and Belgium, France,
Germany and Switzerland, Spain and Italy,
Hungary and Russia The fifth of these In.
tcrnationGl Labor Congresses was called TO
meet at Moyencc, Germany, on the 9th of
September next but it may have to be post
poned for few weeks on account of the
war.
This Association is unlike any other known
in ancient or modern history. 1t is not a con-
spiracy all is done above board, and with the
utmost publicity. Nor is ii mere debating
society, but it aims at both practical and the
orctical ol iects. 1t is not revolutionary in the
common meaning Of the term; it strives to
propagate ideas, until they shall have become
the convictions Of a majority in every nation,
and may he introduced into practical life by
moral pressure aud legislation. But never

Spain is at last on her knees, and on her
knees to the Cubans. An envoy, authorized
by the Colonial Secretary Of the Spanish
Government TO treat with the Cuban repre-
scntatives in this city, arrived here yesterday.
This envoy Se1or NICOLAS AsCARRArE, a
distinguished lawyer of Havana, and
Cuban by birth, is liberal, almost radical
vidual practice, warm advocate at all times
of liberal concessions TO Cuba, but nm up
holder Of Spanish territorial integrity. We can
safely state that the basis Of the propositions
which Mr.. AsCARRATE will mako to the
Cubans will be the autonomy of the island !;
and we can ns safely assert that, If tho
Cubans here represent the wishes, feelings,
and determination Of their brothers suffering
and fighting on the battle.felds of Cuba,
there can be but one answer to such propo-
stion-" Too later
Cubans will regret that fellow country.
man accepted such mission. Time was when
the proposition he bears might have been
listened TO by the patriots but the barba
rous war which the Spaniards have waged on
defenceless men, women, and children, their
oft-repeated assertions that the whole creole
race must be exterminatcd, the contemplate
lies and subterfuges with which Spaniards
have endeavored to asperse, libel, and deride
Cubans and their cause, have long since bred
a spirit in every Cuban heart which nothing
but entire separation from Spain and every.
thing Spanish can ever lay.
This too tardy action of Spain is however
the only approach to wisdom which can be
claimed for her since the outbreak of the
Cuban revolution. But it is the death. bed re-
pentance of the criminal who hopes that
confession may save his body, not his soul
Spain today has not as much authority in
Cuba as NAPOLEON would have in Paris.
Frenchmen might possibly rally to NAPo-
LEON. Spain could send no one man, nor
any body of men 10 Cuba, who could en-
force her DEGREES there. and she knows IT,
DE RoDAs, TO whom on account OF his reputa-
tion for cold-blooded cruelty she fondly in
trusted the task of subduing the patriots and
the evoluntecrs-alike enemies in arms against
Spain-fnding it impossible to conquer the
one. embraces the cause Of the other, and
openly declares he will execute no decree of
Spain antagonistic TO the interests of the
volunteers.
Spain, if wise, will at once recall Mr.. As
CARRATE from here and all the troops who
will obey her orders from Cuba. The pa
triots will soon dispose Of the volunteers.

That Count VALMAsEDA had reached
Santiago dc Cuba safely from Bayamo, We were
informed some days since by the Didrio do Ia
Marina. According TO tho Counts version of
his transit from one city to the other, he went
escorted solely by twenty-five cayalrymen, and
did not catch glimpse of the enemy the whole
way.
The truth has, however, leaked out. lie left
Dayamo with 2, 500 men of all arms. lie was at
tackled day and night by the patriots along the
whole route. He left over 500 men dead on the
road, and carried hundreds wounded into San
tiago. lie lost many mules laden with ammuni-
tion and provisions, and all his own camp equip
age and personal baggage, including his Gene
RAILS baton. Tho patriots harassed him up to
within four and q half miIes Of the city, and they
still remain strongly intrenched at that point.
As is natural, not daring to leave the city again
for the interior. and fearing that Ds RopAs will,
since his detection to the volunteers, supplant
him in their good graces, he sends word by tele-
graph TO Havana that he has killed OF every one
Of the Cuban leaders in the Eastern Department,
and many W no never were there At all. The ro-
m ance, however, Is too Munchausenish even for
the volunteers.

grcssss are not obligatory but the practical
ones, looking 10 mutual assistance, are.
Some Of the ideas discussed and adopted by
a majority Of the delegates may bo startling
TO IN Anglo Saxon mind as for instance, that
the soil of nation ought not TO be private
property, but the common property of all,
held, improved, and worked for the common
benefit of all and that the same rule should
apply to mines, railroads, telcgraphs, and
forests, and to great manufacturing cstab-
l'shmcnts in word, to all property capable
of being monopolizcd for the benefit of the
few. But then, they do not propose an i'm
mediate, Lut gradual introduction of such
common property. They make II dependent
upon the will of future majoritcs, and
upon Just indemnity Of the minorties, whose
possessions nre to be taken; and above all,
they insist with remarkable and laudable
unanimity and zeal upon universal and
omplctc education of oil, in order TO produce
higher type of humanity as the only posi-
lie basis of an improved and elevated con.
dition of society.
OF course, the ndhcrents Of the Association
nrc utterly opposed TO all wars, except those
wagcd in just selfdcfence and they expect
in a very few years to be able entirely to pre-
vent wars, either by general strike Of oil
the laborcrs, the soldiers among them, or
else ly moral pressure. Their creed Is that
all laborers ought to be brothers that re-
ligious divisions and prcjudices of nation or
race, and caste distinctions, are means to keep
the workingmen disunited and SO to rule and
ruin them. They tried hard in the begin
ming of the present war TO prevent II; but
when this proved impossible, because in
France all their leading members had short
tine before been imprisoned, they pledged
to each other the sacred vow that their bro
therhood shall not hereafter DO infringcd
upon by bloody strife of armies, and
that this war shall. by their common future
efforts, be made the last European war.
They are republicans in sentiment but
they know perfecly well that the mere form of
republic is no safeguard against despotsm
and slavery. They are for selfgovernment
first and last and they favor as the best
means toward real selfgovernment such
institutions MS are established in Switzerland,
where the people themselves exercise veto
power over the action of their representa-
tives.

The Tribune treats its partners in the As
sociated Press as If they were common pirates.
1t repeatedly asserts by indirecton that the other
members Of the Associated Press steal its news,
when the fact is that under the articles Of copart
nership oil dispatches from abroad coming to any
member of the Association are the common prop
erty Of all the members on paying their pre-
scribed share of the cost. Yesterday the 7ri5aas
stated editorally:
"Our single despatch concerning the battle Of
Gravelotte cost US Notwithstanding the great re.
ductions in cable tols) 2,2S0 in gold for the mere
transmission from London TO New York"
THIS statement is simply an untruth. Tns Sun
and Herald, which printed the same report, pay
each s76o gold, the same amount as the Tribune
pays-no more, no less.

The French people have the same horror
OF hearing and telling the truth about their mis-
fortunes on the battlefield that their partisans
have on this side Of the ocean. As a correspon-
dent Of the Nation observes, they regard It as
"unpatriotic' to acknowledge that they have
suffered defeats, or that their army is not the
perfection of drill, organization, and equipment,
This trait of character is the result of years of
false education. Gen. TRooHU, now in supreme
command at Paris, published, soon after the war
with Austria in 1859, book pointing out the
need Of a radical reform in army matters, if
France was to maintain her position in Europe.
The book sold largely, and every military man
who read It acknowledged the iustness of Gen.
TRocHU's criticisms but the General himself
lost his popularity, because he had wounded the
national vanity. So now, instead of calmly ac.
knowledgng their danger, and preparing to meet
it, all France is trying to delude itself with the
idea that BAzAISE is victorious, that MAcMAuoS
has joined him, and that the two will soon over
whelm the Prussians, SO that not one of them will
ever get back to their own country.
