Two Members Of the General Council


Rcsign-A Breach I'm the Ranks.


The French Internati0nals held their regular
meeting yesterday in the Casino, on East Houston
street. communications were read from Citizens
David and Ward, recently appointed members OF
the present General Council by the Congress at
the Hague, in Holland. Citizen David stated the
decision taken by the Congress was In viola
tion Of the general statutes Of the associa-
tiOn, and accordingly he would not take
his seat at the meeting OF the General Council.
He stated that he could not sit at council that
was completely devoted to Karl Marx, and he has
no disposition to serve under the banner of the
denunciatOrs OF the Spanish Socialist Alliance. He
will not consent to march by the side of the men
who are acting pitiable comedy that is at pres
cnt being played to the detrment of the Interna-
tiOnal Association. Citizen Ward stated that he
was invited, but would not attend, and would in
form the Council that he has no intention OF
taking any part in the proceedings OF q body
OF men that was organized for the purpose OF
his opinion, to create dieunion in the International
ranks and whose absolute power Of suspending
sections and federal councils are simply rfdfcuous


The reading of the above was the cause Of great
surprise and the actions Of David and Ward were
heartily endorsed.


The French Internationals all over the world are
disgusted at the wirepulling OF Carl Marx and from
the fact that two members OF the General Council
have resigned there is another breach in the ranks

To workingmen in the present
prosperous condition Of trade We
would whisper one word-"save."
Business is not always prosperous.
There are periods of depression, when
dollars are scarce and work scarce.
Tho power of money is its means to
elevate. Save dollars now, for no
matter how long the present prosperi-
ty may continue, the time will come
when every dollar saved can be plac-
ed to good use. The most successful
wealthy man began to rise by saving
cents. The greatest men arose by do
ing their best in little things. To say
there is no opportunity for the young
mechanic to rise is false, for the lazy
men of the world, those who are con-
tent to eat and drink and die, are
numbered by thousands, while those
who have the energy to mount the
ladder by individual exertion and per
sonal privations are few.


Save is the watchYord Of the aspir-
ing man. The history of every sup-
cessfuI man proves it. A time will
soon present itself when the savings
can be most profitably invested. We
often hear one say Had IOnly so
much money to go into this, that or
the other thing could soon get rich."
You can have money by saving it.
There lis no necessity for spending
the last dollar and cent earned. Save,
and YOU will find a charm in saving,
and the chance to invest it well will
soon present itself.


Ali the wealth we see about in the
world, all the monuments of mechan-
ism and art, all the cities, all the
ships. all the visible wealth in the
world, are the result of savings well
invested. They are the result Of per-
sonal privations instead Of gratihca-
tion.-Had the men who built our
mills, our ships, our cities, our evil
dence of civilization, done as thous-
ands of men are doing to day, viz,
using all their means and saving none,
we would see none of these grand re-
suits our cities would still be unbro-
ken wilderuesses, where animals
roamed ; our mills and workshops
would still be unknown the timber
of our naTies would still be growing
in wild woods, and our rich and grow
ing country would be an uncultiYated
waste. But men were industrious,
and saved. Those who do not save
might, as far as the civilization of the
world is benefited by them, never
have lived. Every man who saves
leaves behind him that which will
benefit the world. The man WHO
does not save leaves nothing to make
the world better. Our duties to our
selves as well as to society unite in
urging US to save.-AmeFiedR Work.

Mr.. Beecher was in an unusually
talkatiye mood last night, and dis
coursed Familiarity in his lecture room
about the various ideas of death. He
did not think it an evidence of special
Christian grace to be willing 20 die.
He didn't think it natural for the
young or for those full Of the activi-
ties of life to desire to die. 1t is bet

ties oflife. When Paul said il was bet.

Testament about death are full of

to go to Christ. Dying is not grow

or revenge; all are working up with
one sweet impulse, with great genial

thoughts ring in my soul like the

thing men do. The suffering is in
life; but as a rule men die as easily as
a door turns upon its hinges. Dying
is going home, not to supineness, not
to Oriental luxury, but to supreme
activity, where every part is develop

WAY TO SUccEED.-Fortune, sue
cess, fame, position, are never gained
but by piously, determinedly, brave
ly striking, growing, living in a

you the pleasure, the society, the

No matter for these. Stick to the

you were made for the matter, and
that no one else can do it. Put forth
your whole energies. Be awake, elec-
trify your self, and go forth to the
