There certainly are children enough in our midst to make g handsome sight in our church the year around; but there must be interest on tbe part of both old and young: we must interest and please the little ones in order to win them in the right way. We must have new books oc- casionally, fer reading over and over be- comes tjresome.

Ex-Gov. Hubbard en Decoration Day
Ft,on1 Me Hortfo,,d Fianea.


 To THE EDITORS OF THE TIAKs: In an swer to your proposal to receive contribu- tons toward the expenses of Decoration Day, l beg to send the enclosed $25 In my judgment, the Common Council did well in appropriating o"ly $50, and would have done still better by appropriatz ing nothing; for the duty is net a corpor- ate burden to be imposed on the grand list like a highway or sewer tax. It is a duty of patriotism which belongs to the private citizen, or rather privilege.
 For myself, l am personally the debtor of every true son of Connecticut who fought, and thrice the debtor of every one who fell, for the honor of the State and for the Union. The honors we pay to our tallep heroes are indefinitely petty and cheap in comparr- ison to their infinitely grand and costly sac riRces. Very respectfully yours.

The SECRET. The Baltimore Ga
sette says; "No newspaper in the coun.
try gloats more exultingly over the
political downfall Of Senator Thurman
than the New York Tribune. 1t de-
votes n column Of heavy editorial to
bis misfortune and dances q wild, un.
couth dance over bis alleged political
grave. During the last three years in
the Senate Mr.. Thurman has devoted
a great part of his ability and his en-.
ergy TO bringing about q settlement
between the Government and the I'm.
ion Pacific Railway Company. Mr..
Thurman personally forced through
Congress bill compelling the stock
holders of the Union Pacific Railway
to accumulate an annual fund to pay
the Governments claim for subsidy ad
vanced. 1t was the intention of Mr..
Gould to run the road, making it yield
all the money that could be squeezed
out OF it and then, when the Govern.
ment should demand payment accord.
ing to the law, surrender the property
and tell tho Government to help itself
Mr.. Thurman put a stop TO this little
bit of business. 1t is unfortunate for
the Tribune that its malicious assault
upon Mr.. Thurman should give
thoughtless and worldly-minded per.
sons an opportunity to repeat the story
about the close relationship which
exists between its editorial bureau and
the Office of Jay Could"

A contemporary alludes TO the great
preacher in this way: "Mr. Beecher

against all who took sides against him
at the time Of bis memorable trial
When one Of them Is nominated tor
any Office by the Republicans of Brook
lyn, Mr.. Bcecher opposes him teeth
and nail. As the Republicans arc in
minority in that city, this opposition
does no great harm TO the subject Of
it, but il keeps up the bitterness of the
old feud and the fragrance of the ven
cradle scandal. The Brooklyn Repub.
lcans have nominated Franklin Wood.
ruff for Mayor This gentleman was
a friend of Moulton, the mutual
friend, and was witness in the scan.
dal case, giving testimony that backed
up Monlton. Plymouth church goes
with Beecher in antagonism to Wood
ruff. Lawyer Shcarmao, the lusty
and leather hinged defender of Beecher.
who Is member OF that church, has
written a letter to Mayor Howell, the
Democratic candidate for collection,
promising him the hearty support of
tho faithful. Mayor Howell needs no
assistance from that quarter, as his
election is a forcgonc conclusion. Mr..
Beecher and bis friends are advocating
the scratching of Woodruff, while they
denounce those Republicans who pro.
pose 10 scratch Cornell" The crimes
and vagaries of this celebrated "moral
idca" teacher arc numerous enough to
damn any Christian in a civilized
country, yet, he aoats on top.
