were, after which L. II. Enbody delivered a

whose name the Association has adopted,
was chosen first honorary member Of the So
ciety, after which the following subject was
| fixed for debate at next meeting: Ought the

| nb, i'm lie Ia
Enbody, Y. c. Donahue and p. S. Cheese
man will discuss the affirmative and j. p.
Rowland, j. D. Kresslcy and ]. D. Breil the
negative. The constitution will be trans
cribed and ready for the signature of mem
bers at next meeting. The attendance was
very good, and now that the organization is
completed we trust that there may be full
attendance of all members who have en-
rolled their names, to hear and participate
in the general debate on the first topic Sc.
lected. AS much of the enjoyment and
profit to be derived from the association by
the members will depend upon the degree
of interest which each maniests in the ex-
ercises in the outset, it is to be hoped that
all will be found actively participating in
the proceedings. Let it be borne in mind
that the most liberal participants in the do
ings of the body will be the most benefited.
| When Demosthenes was asked to name the

replied first, action second, ACTIVE; third,
ACTION. Let all profit by the above and
let our motto be action exercise THE se-
cret of all development.
The developments of the past week ind-
cate that the Assessorship will this year again
be the most closely contested of all our bor-
ough offices. At this writing there is a
probability of NJ. G. Kromers repeating him
self as an independent candidate for that
office. In that event it will be triangular
fight. an. G." is a host when it comes to
hard work at the polls, but whether he will
be the winning man this time remains to be
seen. May the best man win.
