 A the Evening.

New York, April 6-The annual dinner of the Grilers' club was held in this city tonight. Former Governor Odell and others, spoke. There were many jokes and humorous songs.
 speech said:
 Every age has it's foibles, its vagaries, its strenuous men, and times within the voice of a reformer, like that of the grass hopper, is a burden In the land. The time comes when there are fewer dis eases than remedies. more charlatans than physicians and more apparent faults than virtues. Some men who have become famous encircle themselves within the boundaries of their own egotism. Give me the simple man in preference to hdm whose constant hankering for power and self has distorted his imagination and led him to the belief that his honesty Is the only Simon pure article and that all other members of society are cheats, frauds and liars.
 Tt takes something more than the power to inflict personal or political reinstatement to climb hills and to shoot to make a brave man. The bravest man Is he who can discern his own faults and
 
 them. Dignity is the characteristic of a gentleman. Responsibility should bring with it respect for judgment, but when there is a sacrifice of both dignity and re- sponsibility through utterances that are incompatible with either or both that man Is not great man who thus indulges, no matter if the ignorant applaud him for these utteranoes
 That paternalism In government which seeks to take away from the individual the power of initiative and performance which aims to safeguard him in the same manner in which we protect the infant, not only fails In It's purpose, but 1t is positive and detriment to the community.
 Tt is much better for us to disagree with the great and the intelligent, to be tenacious of our rights, than tc be like dumb driven cattle, acqWescent because it is easier to be followers than leaders; fol- lowers of those who. like ourselves, are but human and liable to error'
