ADMISSION FEE AND BENEFTrs

No person is admitted into the I'M
ion unless he or she is of good moral
character and if by chance an unwor-
thy person is admitted, he is at once
dismissed. One dollar and fifty cents
is the initiation but to reap the full
benefits of the order, one must adj
vance to the Degree Lodge and pay the
expense of the degrees. Three dollars
per week is given in case of sickness,
the attendant physicians certificate
being the only proof that the case de-
mands assistance.
The city bank is the Treasury and
all money is paid out by the check of
proper officials. The Grand Union
does not promise only but does care
for its sick, relieve its distressed, bury
its dead, and give death benefit.
The system upon which this union is
based is so simple that even a child
can understand it. There is no mystic
~. No invisible brotherhood that sits

single just claim against me!
Sir, 1t Is an outrage against the chill
dren growing up in this city, to have
tneir fathers and mothers blackifsted
FOR . thing that they are powerless to
prevent.
Who put my name there? The cow
ardiy villain did not put his own name
to the charge: so l don't know who or
where to strike. He is like the venom
ous coprerhead snake; he gives no warn
ing.
No doubt but there are hundreds of
men who pay up bills for which they
have been already blacklisted. and never
know of the wrong and injustice that
has been done them; and no one will
ever know but the accuser, who now
has his money, and is chuckling over
his good luck.
Why, sir, had rather be sold for a
debt to the highest bidder and be al
lowed to work it out For this scheme
not only degrades me but prevents me
from securing honorable employment.
Will not sign my name to this, but
it can be had at the Representative
Office. Respectfully yours,

!. Many Of the contributions to the
Forum are too long. In the future we
must insist that they be made shorter.
Most of them could be condensed into
GOO words. II this is done it will en-
able the REPRESENTATIVE to print
more and a greater variety. Here
after the shorter letters will be
given preference. Write them on one
side of the paper only. II written on
both sides they viii not be printed un-
Ger any circumstances.
Write them plainly and with ink.
Do not crowd the lines closely to-
gether. A plainly written letter con-
forming to these rules will stand by far
the best chance to be printed.
within certain proper limitations
we admit tine widest liberty Of thought
and expression upon the part of our
correspondents, while we do not hold
ourselves responsible for any views
which may be put forth.
The Forum. as its name implies, is a
sort of debating school, for the discus
sion of the important questions Of the
day. We ask our correspondents to
avoid abusive personalities and to
keep clear of the shoreless and bottom
less sea Of religious debate. LED.
