ACKEg POST DISCONTINUED.
For number OF years great interest was
taken in the organization by the members.
and It's growth was very satisfactory. The
membership reached rs in number. After
time the interest of the members grew less,
snd the hearty good viii which was early
manifested gave place to personal dissen-
sious, aud it was charged BY some that the
organization was being used for political
purposes. The records Of the society are by
no means perfect, aud it is impossible to
verify the assertion that the organization
was being used for political purposes,
or TO ascertain the exact causes
which lead to the rupture No matter what
the reason may have been. it is certain that

While for number Of years Acker post
was discontinued, ten of the members pledged
themselves to keep the post IN existence.

it was claimed BY those interested that the

Garfield Post No. s may be said to be an
offspring of Acker Post. 1t owes its organi-
cation to the temporary suspension of Acker
and the confusion incident to the re-organi-
cation of the latter. During the spring of
1882, and before the question Of the validity
of the charter granted the Acker post had
been decided, several old soldiers who felt
the need of G. A. R. organization in St.
Paul determined to apply for a charter to
organize a new post. The following are the

CUSTOMS MUST BE PAID IN COLD

After the first day of August. So
says Mr.. John M. Kapena, Minister
of Finance. This statement ap-
pears this morning for the first time.
What does it means? Is this an
individual freak on the part of Mr..
Kapena, and will the rest of the
Cabinet back-water, as usual, and
deny any knowledge of the matter,
or is this full fledgcd Cabinet
measure? In any event, what is
the object of the order! The Cabi-
net has filed the country with silver
and driven out all the gold. Ameri-
can gold was sold last week at ~
per cent premium. They know
that there is no gold here to pay
duties with. What then is their
object? Three several times has
the fiat gone forth that duties must
be paid in gold, In every case has
the notice been entirely inadequate,
and in every case it has been with
drawn before the day set.
1t is just such wretched tinkering
with finances as this, which is most
injurious to commerce and business
in general. The trouble is that the
Cabinet know nothing of practical
business, are utterly ignorant of
financial principles, and apparently
have no thought or care as to the
effect of their financial policy,
whether good, bad or indifferent.

VOLUME 47---NUMBER 2449

A delegate, we repeat, will naturally
yield to the will of the convention in
matters which it may rightfully deter
mine. But no majority can rightfully
take the place of his conscience If it
be said that parties could not be man
aged upon such principles, the conclu-
sive reply is that nothing but such
principles saves parties from becoming
lntolerable despotisms. No man could
hOnorably belong to a party or sit in a
convention mt the sacrifice of his moral
freedom. And such remuneration would
be an extraordinary assumption for a
republican convention. ANY other
view than this of the position of a
delegate is untenable. No majority
under any circumstances can make it
right for man to do what he holds to
he wrong and it is the height of nom
sense to suppose that a man who con-
fers with others to prevent a wrong is
bound to acquiesce, If the others sue
ceed i'll doing the wrong. 1t is COM
ical proposition that every republican
is at liberty to bolt nomination which
he holds to be unfit except those who
earnestly seek to prevent it. These
are views that we have often stated,
and upon which we have always acted,
and which can not be repudiated by
any man who wishes that Il party con-
ventiOn shall be n counsel of free men,
Personal preferences such men will al
ways surrender. But they will never
surrender fidelity to their own con-
sciences and if such surrender should
be the price of seat in a convention,
it would surely not be seat of honor.
&c. w. Curtis in Harper's Weekly.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1884-07-03
A Question of Conduct.

A correspondent inquiries whether
we have any objection to stating our
views of the obligations of delegate
to Il nominating convention in regard
to its final action. 1t is Il point upon
which we have more than once ex-
pressed our opinion, and we certainly
have no objection to repeating it. TO
take part in nominating convention
is to try to shape its conclusions in
such way as seems to the delegate
most advantageous for the country and
for the party. If fairly Outvoted he
will naturally surrender mere personal
preferences and differences, and ac-
cept the action of the majority of the
convention, unless it is an action which
in his Judgment Ought not to be sus-
tanned, when of course he will not
sustain it. 1t may be truly said that
the general Judgment of party as to
the general party policy is better than
that of any individual member of the
party. But that is not rule which
eau be applied to conclusions respect
ing personal character and general fit
ness.
No self-respecting man would sit in
convention with the understanding
that it should bind his conscience and
the theory that delegate upon ac-
cepting his commission ceases to be a
free moral agent is utterly repulsive to
every instinct of honorable manhood.
No man worthy of the name, whether
member of a convention or not,
would feel himself bound, in honor OF
in any other way, to support for high
office person whom he might believe
to be corrupt or unfit, merely because
the majority of the convention might
decide to nominate him. During the
Tweed regime one of his henchmen
procured the regular nomination of a
republican convention. But it was a
nomination binding upon no decent
member of the convention. The way
i'll which "a delegate shall express his
dissent, whether by open protest at the
time, or by Withdrawing, or hOwso-
ever, is a matter for his own decision
The manner of dissenting is of no i'm
portance to those who deny the right
! to dissent.

Sieur, we built Paris; we will burn
| Paris"
The French, only after Paris was in
asheS, saw their error. Gambetta had
outSrown his Belleville and left its
herce spirit of strife, its hatred of the
rich, ITS misery, hunger, madness, be-
NINA MN. But Belleville remained the
same, blded its time, and burned Paris.
ana yet this Belleville was compara-
| lively but small place.
But IN New York the whole populace
and packed lower half of the island il
gwen up to poverty, to toll, tenement
houses, to misery and crime, as was
that one little place in Paris. There
are million of the poor, the miserable
set apart by themselves in the lower
part of the island. There are n tbou-
sand of the rich, the luxurious and
happy on the other end. This unfortu-
nate division will some day be fatal.
The people, the poor and the rich ~
said Gambetta, ''should dwell together
ana learn to respect and love each
other"
He said this after the most terrible
lesson that fire and blood ever taught.
But 1T is lesson which is being en-
tlrely lost on Americans. OF course
there are many rich people and MANY
noble, peace-loving people in the lower
end of New York and there are IA few
laborers at the upper end. But the
mixture is slight. And any one who
studied even SO small and peaceful n
thing as the freight handlers strike
last year, can clearly read between the
lines much that | have not space to
set down.
Unless the rich and the poor melt
more together and come to know and
respect each other more, there must be
tremendous trouble in that city soon,
whose rich despise the poor and the
poor in return bitterly hate the rich.

The Arguments Against Blaine

Believing that we have a good many
candid and conscientious readers who,
although they will vote for Mr.. Blaine,
are yet anxious to know why some
just as good republicans as they are
cannot support him, and further know
ing that no Blaine organs will give
them the information desired, we copy
some letters written to the New York
Independent by some representative
men of the gentlemen of
distinction, who cannot have aught
charged against their motives in the
expressions they make. The Inde-
pendent fills pages of its paper with
