Spanish Honor ExempIifieG.

see that the Spaniards are vaunt-
ing their honor and chivalry and
calling Americans swine, writes a
correspondent to an Eastern ex-
change. Let me tell You something
about Spanish honor. Premier
Sagasta recently gave a reception to
the British minister. During the
evening the minister discovered that
his watch had been stolen, and he
came to the reluctant conclusion
that one of the grandees present
was the thief. He told Sagasta of
his loss. Sagasta asked for silence
and explained the situation. He
said that in order to save the cul-
prit's honor the lights would be put
out and the whole company would
pass by the premier's desk in the
dark, and the culprit would redeem
himself by placing the watch on the
table. In darkness the company
passed by the table. When the
lights were turned on again not
only was the watch not there, but a
valuable silver ink stand belonging
to Sagasta was missing.

Some OF the older members OF the
Order, whose assessments have been
slightly advanced by the change OF
our system, seem to have jumped to
the conclusion that by discriminat-
ing in the amount OF the assess
ments at different ages the Order
has abandoned its tratcrnal features
and ceased to be anything else than
"A cold-blooded lille insurance compa-
NY. We don't want to preach a ser
mon to such, but we invite their at
tention to the parable OF the Good
Samaritan. 1t is stated that the
Good Samaritan, az he Travelled along
the road, came upon man who had
fallen in with thieves, and had been
beaten and robbed, and left helpless
by the road side. He took him up,
conveyed him to the inn and took
care of him. This was fraternity.
1t il not recorded, however, that the
Good Samaritan did anything for
the various other travellers whom he
met on the road, and who We're as
able to take care of themselves as he
was to take care of himself. 1t is
the legitimate inference from the
record, that finding them able, to take
care of themselves, he lett them to
do 50. and this was business.
This marks two features OF the y.
.. U. w, and while the two did not
conflict IN the conduct OF the Good
Sama aritan, neither do they conflict
in the Ancient Order OF United
Workmen. That which has been
done * correction of the erroneous
business methods, by which some
members were made to bear the bur
dcns OF others able TO bear them
themselves. Experience has demon
Strated that tins was bringing US
misfortune, and would end in our
destruction. The correction OF this
erroneous method has no bearing
W hatevcr upon the fraternity OF the
Order. Member will hereafter CON
tribute to the payment of the bene-
liciarics OF the Order according to
what it costs the Order to extend
protection to themsclvcs-will bear
their own burdens. This il simply
business equity. If it costs the Or
der S}56 per month Tor the protcc-
tion OF one member, while it costs
only SI.2o to extend equal protection
t. another, there iS no ground OF
business equity upon which they
can be made to pay the same, and
the fact that each has to pay accord
ing to his cost to the Order does not
deprive either of extending the hand
of the Good Samaritan to the other.
II rcatter, as heretofore, the sick
will be cared for, the distressed will
he relieved, and the spirit of broth
erhood cultivated; and brethren who
think that the fraternity has all been
crushed out of the Order by chang
ing the law will ind themselves as
much mistaken as do those brethren
who predicted that the change would
dead to loss OF membership, while
our very brief experience shows 1t
leads to rapid gain.-OUerseer.

know whether it is thing of sufficient
