OLD HIRAM, NO. 4.

Takes Al aion Decidedly on the Compulsory
Dues O nestion--A Big Crowd of Members
Presena and an Animated Debate.
In RESPONSE to the notice received by
the members of "Old Hiram lodge No.
Il, T.. ami A. M, in regard to establish
ing a system of compulsory dues, a
very large number Of the members were
present at the lodge meeting last even
ing.
Hon. iLynde Harrison, chairman of
the com alittee on dues, reported that it
was thu ught advisable to have some
system IF dues in the lodge other than
the relit,f dues of one dollar per year,
which aye optional and non-compulso-
ry; and shat If the dues were increased
the que.tion was to be decided whether
to have them compulsory, as is the case
in all other lodges, or left nom compul-
sorry, al, heretofore. An increase of
revenue had become necessary, largely
on account of the recent tax imposed
on the membership by the grand lodge
to sustain the Masonic home, recently
insitutef in Wallingford.
DJ,rin ), the discussion on the dues
question system of compulsion in any
manner was discountenanced most en-
phaticasiy in this old historic lodge of
Freemasonry. Hiram's members, it
was strJngly urged, were much too in
dependent and of too great a financial
standing to allow any compulsory dues
act to exist in their lodge.
1t was finally voted to make fund
to be called an emergency relief fund,
to be Aept separate from the regular
lodge find and to be used as extra oc-
casions might require.
Very pronounced discussions were
entered into by Lynde Harrison, James
D. Dewtn, Attorney C. S. Hamilton, At
torney wolfe, L. w. Moody, L. B. Hin
man. f. H. Peck, Theron Todd, Will
liam NJ. Frisbie and Others
The amount fixed was two dollars
per year for each member to pay, with
no penalty attached, as is the case in all
other hdges.
1t wa,s also suggested to raise the fees
for joining the lodge from $50 to $40,
and the .affiliation fee from So to $40.
Past Master James D. Dewell and
Hon. Lynde Harrison were added to

especially wrong i9rme, when given
the WnOIe state IOT d uOplC, IlUL W say
few words for the great organiza-
ton in whose honor you have met.
The men who went to battle are now
rapidly falling away. These men are
entitled to special consideration for the
risks they ran and the sufferings they
endured. 1t behooves us to give the
veterans our liberal and hearty sup
port and to see that their old age is
passed in comfort And then we have
a new and young army as well as old
We have here two companies of Con-
necticut's Guard. ] take every oppor=
unity to say something for the c. N.

means to be member of a company
in the Guard It means great deal
of self denial on the part of one who
volunteers, to surrender part of their
time to give the state a militia of which
we are all proud. I hope we shall man
ifest more practical sympathy and
helpfulness towards the National
Guard in the future than in the past"
The governor spoke of the more cor
dial feelings now existing between the
north mad south. 1t was nearly mid
night when the exercises in the Audi
torium were concluded. Subsequently
supper was rendered the governor
and staff at the Scoville house.

Baltimore, April 9.-In his address at
the Bankers convention to-day Comp
troller Eckels said:
IF the United States should set IN
standard of value which cheapens the
present one, which makes a subject Of
inquiry and Of ant questioning
whether or not the government shall
maintain the payment of it's obligations
In the only standard of value whicH is
recognized in the commercial world. all
the financial integrity of the individual
citizen in his individual capacity could
not save this country from collapse.
Silver has passed from the world of
commerce as standard Of value be-
cause the commercial world has set its
seal of condemnation upon it, and all
the laws placed upon the statute books
at Washington or in Westminster, or
in Berlin, or in Paris, cannot reinstate
it. (Applause.)
'The silver people in this contest will
be beaten, though the struggle may be
a prolonged one and may be an ex-
pensive one. They will be beaten be-
cause there has never yet been con-
test before the American people upon
any great question, but that at the crit
ical time the common sense of the
American people asserted itself and the
right thing always prevailed A free
silver act never can pass both houses
