THE HARTFORD MUDDLE. staub and the Governor-The New Haven Foot Guards-Tho Seymour Revolution.
 The contrivance which was used in the attempt to keep the governor out of the room was strong hasp screwed from door to door and fastened with a powerful combination Yale lock.
 The paddock was bought at one of the Asylum street hardware stores and cost the state about dollar. Comptroller Staub is unwilling to draw his order on the treasurer for repairs made to a chair in the governors office; but he will not mind paying for the paddock since it was used on the other side of the door. Verify this is the day of small things in Demo- cratic politics!
 Governor Bulkeley when asked what he proposed to do in the light of the latest demonstration by Staub, said:
 propose to maintain my rights by the con- stitution which rests the supreme executive authority of the state in the. governor. The other officers of the state are subordinate to the supreme executive power.
 The Post also says: "Well aware that s12,OOO or more is available for new uni forms for new members of the Governors g Horse (should be Foot Guards) Guards of New Haven, MT. Staub has deliberately ignored and defed the governors written order granting the use of the money for this commendable purpose and has tried to shield himself behind himsy pretext that special appropriation made some two years ago for this company-when the new men were not recruited-has been e1- hausted."
 DO NOT SURRENDER.
 The Bridgeport Standard says: 'The democratic claim that the Seymour reso- lution is an honest effort to bring about . solution of the trouble at Hartford would look better if in it, az in all others suggest ed by that side, the seating of the demo- cratic officials were not insisted on as the first step. It is not necessary that this should be done unless the democrats have some ulterior purpose to be subserved thereby. We have state administration competent in every respect to take care of it's affairs till the courts have decided the matter, and there is no need of displacing that administration until it can be done finally, by the settlement of the whole business.
 COMMON HONESTY.
 Interesting Words Spoken to Young Men Yesterday by Rev. MT Mutch.
 In spite of the inclement weather yes terday afternoon, the young mems meet ing in Warner hall was we'll attended. The meeting was of exceptional interest. Th' music rendered by the Y. M. c. A. Gle' club, under Dr. Jones' direction, and | l solo sung by Miss Raymond, was a pleas ing feature. Rev. MT. Mutch of the How ard avenue Congregational church ad dressed the meeting. His words to tn young men were of a forcible and tellinl | character. They were, in substance, a follows.
 His subject was: Honesty is one of tn most important clements of Christian toward himself. He took as example tn 1 picture of a young man on the threshold of life, looking forward to bright career He resolves that his life shall in som modest way, perhaps, be 8 success, nice home, with the comforts attending and to become respectable member o society. That is the future toward whic most young men look forward. We find him going out into the worl full of it's life, activity and temptations He begins to lose sight of his ideal and hi attention centers upon the surroundin circumstances. He is led by associate into tampering with pleasures of the de sires and he begins to utter that exclama ton, "Well, have but one life to live ! I'd ia lad fr1rfhor oy,1 f7,{b r1 tha is easily imagined. The young man ha an obligation upon himself to-day for him self twenty years hence. The young ma in the example has been dishones toward himself by entering upo a course of life intermsdiat to the life of his youth and his life of afte years. He has destroyed his appreciatio of that which is good, has robbed himsel of those finer feelings pictured in his earl CT ideal.
 The principle of common honesty has a application wider than most people give il We have learned, all of us, before thi time that the fruits of a Christian life ar not reserved entirely for the after life The harvests in this life grow richer an richer as the years pass by. These are be achieved through honesty to ourselves Without Christian life and faith the trr ly good things of this life can not by gain ed.
 The temptations are strong to serve sell Suggestions continually arise to serve oul selves for a time, then afterwards serv God. Does not common honesty requir more of us than honest dealings of mercenary nature With our fellow men? Public sentiment is that feeling from al the people gathered into an average judg ment. Many are guided in their course 0 life by their opinion of society. We al are more or less responsible for this aver age judgment. Ought we not, therefore to make our contribution as we con scientiously believe to be true? Who there whe does not believe there is Go and an immortal soula Very few Blu there are many in this land who are dis honest toward their fellow men in tha they do not contribute in raising tn public sentiment of religion. It seeme by showing to the world these deepe principles of honesty, something efectus will be accomplished. The obligation are real. believe it is most seriou thing to go about in the world allowin, the impression to exist with others tha we do not care anything about religion The world is counting those who stand out and out on the side of Christ, and con graduates itself when it find those who d, are in the minority.
 The afternoon service next Sunday vii be the last of those hold in Warner hall They will be continued at the Association rooms at the same hour for the followin, Sabbaths.
