PUBLIC DINNERS.

The Dinner as an institution is an
English invention. We do not mean
that this substantial meal is unknown at
the present, or ever has been to other
nations of the world; but the dinner par
excellence, the gathering in of political,
literary, or social coteries, or the bringing
together of men of diverse views to eat,
to discuss in social manner and after
wards to speak, is really custom that
seems to have been brought to its highest
development in England. There po-
litical policy can not be carried out with
out a plum-pudding and some noble
Lord to crate; hospital can not
be founded without banquet a
charity can not be inaugurated without
some speechifying over the dinner table,
and no literary, artistic, political or So
cial success is ever achieved until after
having been made the recipient of din
ner. Political adherents have been Sc
cured, policies of nations and even aynas
ties changed through the influence of
gastronomic allurements and the soften
ing of prejudices under the modifying
influences of the sherry and the cham
pagne, deftly intermingled with the sill
very eloquence of the banquet orator. In
the United States we dine and often speak
at the social board, but are practically a
non-dining nation, as dinners are
known in England, where men of fixed
incomes and abundant leisure make a
dinner the event of the day and almost
the occupation of their lives. Here we
borrow on rare occasions this institution
of grandfather John Bull, and even offer
an invitation that, like the event at the
Grand Hotel in honor of Gen. Grant on
Thursday evening, is an improvement in
some essential respects over the original.
But we are too busy Nation: our men
of vast and even moderate wealth are the
most occupied and thoroughly ehgrossed
of those among us, and Can not spare the
time to dawdIe over the banquet board
except on rare occasions Ministers of
State and political leaders at the National

JUST now, when the objection can not
be urged as being intended to apply un-
fairly to any particular case, we desire to
file an emphatic objection to the nom
sense of our city authorities in inviting
the business places to close up whenever
anything extraordinary is announced to
take place. Our retail dealers are put in
the attitude of either closing up their
stores at the very time when there are
most customers on hand, or of appearing
to treat discourteously the request of the
city authorities. Moreover, all our deal
ers are usually asked to contribute to the
expense Of these public demonstrations
which bring crowds to the city and should
certainly be entitled to their share of the
benefits. Let us have no more of this
nonsense about a request to close
up when the city is full of
people, many of whom have
come expecting to avail themselves of
the bargains which our merchants are
offering. While the hotels, railroads and
local politicians are getting their share
of the advantages of these extraordinary
occasions, do not try to cheat the retail
dealers out of what legitimately belongs
to them. We say this now because it
can be said with better taste than on the
eve of our next "jamboree."

Long.deferred Diplomas From Yale
Tfstaunton Valley Virginian.l

lSaunt0n Nauey NHginiahI
In 1928 our worthy fellow-townsman,
William Frazier Esq, then a mere
youth, entered Yale College, and some
two years after. a number of his class
having become offended at some action
of the Faculty, rebelled, and almost the
entire body left the college. Mr.. Frazier
came to the University Of Virginia,
where is education was completed, and
in the active, busy, and not uneventfui
days which succeeded, the memory OF
fifty years ago was well-nigh blotted out.
Not long ago those boyish school-days
were brought wildly before him by the
reception Of diploma from the Faculty
of Yale, comforting upon him the degree
of Master of Arts. His surviving COM
patriots of the rebellion of long ago were
similarly honored. A reunion Of the old
class is now proposed to be held at the
residence of one of their fellows, Prof. +
E. Salisbury, LID, now of New Haven.

THE W0RKINGMEN
Condemn tho Reception to General Grant

C0ndemn tno hecep10n 10 uonerRl orant
The Workingmen held a meeting at
Workingmen's Hall yesterday afternoon
to take action in the anti Grant BOOM
Mr.. Andrew Murphy made lengthy
speech condemning the reception to Gen.
eral Grant, after Which the following resoln-
tions were adopted:
"Whereas, The American people are now
suffering the infection of a so called Grant
boom forced upon them by scheming,
INSCRIPTIONS politicians and office-seekers
of both parties; and,
"Whereas, This fraudulent boom is
aided by the money and codfish-aristocracy
of this country. proud of even a second
hand contact yith ROYALTY; and,
"Whereas, Mr.. Grant, by allowing him
self to be made the tool of, and thus assist
ing the enemies of free institutions, has
destroyed all the respect due to his war
record; therefore, be it
Resolved. That we, the Workingmen of
Cincinnati, denounce all engaged in this
BOOM be it the stupid and brutal dunn
my, who allows himself to be used as the
entering wedge that may finally destroy
the goodly fabric erected by our forefathers,
or the snobbish aristocrat who bends the
pEckuauL kuC0 W CVCu Vic CuduOW VI TOy"
atty, or the trucking and knavish p0liti-
clans of both parties, or the mercenary and
sensational press, as enemies to America, to
humanity and to progress and call upon all
lovers of freedom to shun the unclean thing
as we'll as the vile brood OF vipers engineer
ing it."
In addition to the above, the following
were adopted:
Whereas, It has come to our knowl-
edge that the Board of Aldermen and Coun-
cilmen of this city have authorized the ex-
penditure Of public moneys to assist in de-
| fraying the expenses Of the recent parade
and carousal in honor of Mr.. U. 8 Grant,
Ex- President, Ex-General. &c. and
"Whereas Such expenditures are in vio-
lation Of law and contrary to the spirit of
our republican institutions; and
"Whereas, Before authorizing the ex-
penditure above referred to, the authorities
were duly warned that their contemplated
action would be illegal; therefore it is here
by
Resolved, That we protest against the
payment by the City Treasurer of any bills
incurred in the name OF the city for such
purposes as those above mentioned.
"Resolv we'd, That we shall do our utmost
| to obtain an injunction II necessary. to pre-
vent payment from public funds of these
and all future bills Of the kind.
Resolved, That when the authorities
themselves violate the laws they can not
consistently expect the people to obey
them"
Messrs. Van Patten, Rice and Ehman
were appointed a committee to take in
hand the matter of preventing the payment
of the bills referred to in the resolutions
and il necessary have an injunction issued
to prevent their payment.

The workingmen are not far out of
the way in opposing the appropriation of
the city's funds to defray the expenses
of public demonstrations These dem
onstrations are, as rule, creditable to
the city, and when attempted ought to
be made emphatically so, but they ought
to be paid for in every case by private
subscription. As the demonstrations are
voluntary, so should the payment Of the
expense be entirely voluntary.

In society one must talk about

resort to, you will not lack for sub.

gossip of an innocent nature, that
which does not involve scandal OF
wounded feelings, is equally, with
the current eventsof the day, a ligi.

Moreover, it is always safe. While
you may be we'll read yourself, and

you are familiar at the expense of
others is not polite or kind. At
