morrow night at the Greenlaw Opera
house, to discuss the 6O-4-5-6 propo.
sition pending in the Legislature
Perhaps the people have no right to
say anything, but they may have the
audacity to attempt it. All sides and
shades Of opinion will presumably
have an equal chance to be heard.
The masses can at least attend and
hear what may be said, and also take
hand in the proceedings. There
will no doubt be big attendance,
and some pretty free expressions.

BY ONE OF THEM.

l BY ONE OF THEM.
 FRIEND R. II promised recently to give you little article on the Locomotive Enrin eers Brotherhood, which was established March 18th. 1866, and from that day until the present has been gaining in numbers and also in understanding of what constitutes 6 society. Our motto is ''Sobrety. Truth, Jus. tice and Morality" Sobriety teaches us that while on our duty on the engine we should abstain from all that would intoxicate or cause us to neglect the important duties in. trusted to our care as engineer. Truth, that we should be always truthful to our employ. CTS, to ourselves, and to our trust, for where truth is we look for honesty in all things. Justice, that by justice all things are made equal to one another, and all grievances are made smooth, and settled satisfactorily to all We are taught to love justice above all things. Morality, of that virtue to which all look for an example of actions and words which convey meanings of importance to the world, and especially to our brethren of the society. All these and more we are admon o0~ " SSOa0 eo o-AO dDkoo Oy dS men, that our example before the world may have it's influence, and we be regarded as men, not as greasy machines.
 As regards our insurance, our headquarters are In Cleveland, Ohio. The officers are, Grand Chief Engineer, first grand engineer, second grand engineer, second grand assist. ant engineer. third grand assistant engineer, grand guide, grand chaplain. We have sub. divisions all over the country, with about ten thousand members and part of these belong to an insurance company governed by the head officers of the brotherhood of whom all insurance members are assessed one dollar in event of the death of brother. We pay every widow, or heirs, nearly three thousand dollars. We also have widow and orphan funds' which we ars paying out of all the time. We have paid out in the last ten years about million and half of dollars, trusting we have accomplished some good, although We have been sorely dealt with by railroad companies. But we still live, and they begin to see our institution as perma- nent and beneficial. We did not form this society to dictate wages, but to improve our selves as engineers, and help one another, with defense-not defiance. B.

formation. There is no one to take his place But his greatest praise is that he was alive to everything that interested the welfare and happiness of his fellowmen. He was the peer of statesmen, and jurists, and scholars, and the loved companion of children. There were none so high as not to be benefited by his instruction; there were none so lowly as to be beneath his sympathy.
 The tribute was ordered to be put on the Court Records and copies were to be sent to the relatives of the deceased. Clerk Hurlbut then made few remarks showing when the General made his last appearance in the Court, and speaking warmly for him. Lee F. Dean, Esq, was the President of the meeting.
