The Philadelphia Times has taken the
trouble to compile from TeNeac York

and for the Republican in fifteen States
and it appears from this that the form.
or, all added together, make total o1
1,O19, $40, and the latter only 100,531
making a popular majority for the Dem.
ocrats Of 919,O79. This The Times fur.
ther shows, is a victory unprecedented
in the annals of parties in this country.
1.-THE two sweeping revolutions Of our
political history" it says, "were the
defeat Of Van Buren, by Harrison in
1840 and the defeat of Scott by Pierce
in 1852. Van Buren carried only six
States against Harrison, but the popu-
lar majority was only 145, 900, and Scott
carried only four States, but the popu-
lar majority was only 2o2,0Os. Even
the Grant Greeley campaign Of 1872,
that was practically given up by the
supporters Of Greeley after the Octo-
Der elections and allowed to 60 by de-
fault, gave Grant only Isl, ,4S1 ma jor-
ity; but the popular majority against
the Republicans in 1890 reaches the
APPALLING figures of 919,O79.' And this
was due to the tariff reform issue made
go bravely by Cleaveland in 1887 in the
face ofa presidential contest, for which
he was denounced by the practical
politicians as little less than an idiot.

clearly anconstit itutionai, but believe II
what It proposes could be put in execu-
Uon 1t would bring serious disaster to
those sections Of the country where
agriculture is the leading pursuit, and
especially to the interests chiefly sought
to be fcstered and protected.
I come now to your second question.
After much anxious consideration be-
slowed upon this subject before your
note came, in the course Of which a
number Of plans have received my care
ful attention, I can propose no measure
of relief which I consider of practical
value, beyond those which are being
earnestly urged by the political party
to which I belong, such as an increase
Of the currency, the free coinage Of sill
YER, the reduction Of tariff taxation
and an economical administration of
public affairs, with no inequalities or
special advantages to any person or
class Of persons.
Many different plans have been sug-
gested, but no one Of them in its devel-
opment, has 80 commended itself to my
judgement, that am willing to COM
mend 1t to you as measure promising
practical relief; and the subject we are
considering is too grave and too vital
to permit our indulgence in mere the
ory, speculation or experiment.
The propositions referred to above,
which my party is advocating, are not
new, as we know, but instead Of propos-
ing some untried scheme Of doubtful
expediency, prefer to commend to you
the sound, safe and conservative meas
ures of relief, as they seem to me,
which the great body Of the national
democracy Is striving to establish.
I may be permitted in conclusion, to
assure you Of my unabated interest in
all that concerns the people of our
great agricultural state. I realize my
obligations to them and appreciate the
high trust they have committed to my
hands. They are entitled at all times
TO my views upon any public question.
II they agree with me, their support
gives me strength and courage; but tn Q
fact that I may differ from them ought
not, if would serve them efficiently
and honorably, to deter me from deal
ing with them openly, frankly and di-
rectly. This I have attempted to do
in this letter with full knowledge that
I am assailing a popular measure.
Your obedient servant,

PLAIN CONTKADICTIONs.
Question of Veracity Between Mr..
Sergeant and Mr.. Turner.

MONTREAL, Que, March 22.-Mr.
Sergeant, general manager of the Grand
Trunk, was seen to-day in reference to
an Ottawa dispatch published in the
Toronto Empire of March 20 upon the
subie ct of an alleged demand by the
Grand Trunk railway for 81, 000, GOO prior
to the late elections. Mr.. Sergeant
remarked that Sir Charles Upper
was under misapprehension as to the
facts of the case. Sir Charles said:
PROOF OF my statement is to be found
i'll memorandum which was prepared
by Hector Cameron, who was present at
the interview, for the information of Sir
John Mcdonald. Before sending it to
the premier Cameron submitted it TO
Sergent for his approval. Here, then,
is proof positive of the falslty of Sir
Henry Tyler's statement that a prom
Use OF subsidy was given if
the Grand Trunk would only sup
port the government. Mr.. Searle has
not seen the text of Sir Henry Tyler's
statement, but as regards the allegation
that Mr.. Cameron submitted a meme
randum OF what occurred at the inter-
view in question for his approval, no
such statement was submitted. The in
terview took place on Feb. 25 and a
copy Of the memorandum was read to
Mr.. Seargent on March IA, and the
former knew nothing of Its contents
until that date"
Sir Charles Upper further says: In
my interview with Mr.. Seargent, gem
eral manager of the Grand Trunk rail-
way, so far from promising a subsidy, 1
positively refused to promise anything,
and we actually resisted the pressure
of onr opponents for railway subsidies
and refused the request of the Grand
Trunk Railway company for $1,000, 600
for their Edmonton and Salisbury ex-
tension"
Mr.. Sargent declared that the Grand
Trunk railway did not ask for the prom
Use of any grant, and therefore could
not have been refused. The company
made no request for 81, 900, 900, or for any
sum of money. Mr.. Seargent added
that he had pseseryed full notes of
what took place at the conference of
Feb: %, but thought it only necessary to
correct inaccuracies.

anese Christian opinion. An addition
was made to the apostles creed by the
insertion of clause, in the following
words, as a preamble to the creed
itself:
The Lord Jesus Christ, whom we
worship as God, the only begotten Son
OF God, for US men and for our salvation
was made man and suffered. He Of
Tered up perfect sacrifice for sin, and
all who are one with Him by faith are
accounted righteous; and faith in Him,
working by love, purifies the heart.
The Holy Ghost, who, with the Father
and Son; is worshiped and gloriied,
reveals Jesus Christ to the soul, and
without His grace man, being dead in
sin, cannot enter the kingdom of God.
BY Him the prophets and apostles. and
holy men of old were inspired, and He,
speaking in the Scriptures of the Old
and New TeStamentS, is the supreme
and lnfallible judge in all things per-
tanning unto faith and living. From
these Holy Scriptures the ancient
church of Christ drew its confession.
and we, holding the faith ouce delivered
to the saints, join i'll that confession
with praise and thanksgiving"
Minister Swift says that to these
changes in the creed the American and
ope"h iiehloetS Vi lie SyIlou DIS
scented, and the new creed was fOrmu-
lated and promulgated. He further
says that it is a frequent and common
claim made by native Christian converts
that the spirit and meaning of Chris
tianity in its broader and more uni
Versal scope has never been properly
comprehended among Western nations,
and that the faith needed to be trans
ported to Japan for final development
and perfection. Consequently he APP

CHANGED THE CREED.
Japanese Presbyterians Take a
Hand at Revising.

WASHINGTON, March %. MANY
strange things have come out of the
East, but probably few events that have
occurred during the last decade are
likely to impress the thinking minds of
our own civilization more deeply than
the fact set out in an official report to
the department of state from the late
United States minister to Japan, that.
after long dellberatiOn, the native Pres
byterlan church in that country has
seen Ill to recaSt the time-tried doctrines
of the Presbyterian church and even to
make additions to the sacred apostolic
creed. Ihe minister says the PreSbyter-
Ian church, like most of the other Prot
eStant Christian denominations estab-
llShed by missionaries, has achieved
such progress in Japan and the native
membership has become so numerous
and influential as to Justify it in con-
II Hing the local organization and gov
eminent of the church, and this it has
proceeded to do. This step carried with
it definition of the faith itself. For
some time certain spirit of energetic
restleSsneSS has been observed to pre-
vail amongst the native cOngree ations.
evidenced by recaicitrant disposition
in general, and especially in frequent
dissent from the foreign teachers on
doctrlnal points. By many persons this
was attributed TO patriotic resistance to
foreign influence. a tendency to con-
ciliate rather than antagonIze this ten
dency induced the missionary members
of the synod to assent to the recent
modification in the canons of belief.
With this view committee composed
of judicious and conservative men be-
lieved to have controlling influence was
empowered to report such changes and
notifications in the articles of faith as
would, in their judgment, afford maxi
mum beatitude to the progressive
school of Japanese, with minimum
disturbance of ancient landmarks. The
committee, in the report. recommends
the substitution of the XXlVth article
of faith of the English Presbyterian
church for those of bort and Heidel-
berg, then in force. The change failed
to meet the demands of the more pro-
gressiye japanese. and the report was
rejected. After rejecting these modifi-
cations the synod which met last No

Japanese Presbyterians Max

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Gen. Net
Teton, acting secretary of the treasury,
has issued circular letter. of which the
following is the text, announcing a
change IN the form of the special tax
stamp for retail liquor dealers:
Sir: Letters are frequently received
at the department stating that in many
parts of the country retail liquor deal
ers claim to hold a permit or license
from the United States for carrying on
their business; that in many cases
where local law prohibits public drink
ing places the law is openly violated by
persons who claim to do business under
at least the moral sanction of fed
eral license" and that this fact, to-
gether with the belief common among
many good citizens that the
United States government does
in fact issue such licenses,
greatly retards the enforcement of
wholesome restrictive laws and pro-
notes disorder. 1t should be unneces-
sary to state that the United States gov
eminent does not issue license or per-
nit of any nature to any person in any
state to carry Oh the business of retail
liquor dealer, and it is difficult to under
stand how any intelligent citizen can be
imposed upon by the opposite claim.
Congress having levied a revenue stamp
tax OF S25 per annum on the business of
retail liquor dealers, the commissioner
OF revenue endeavoTS to collect this tax
wherever and by WhOmSoever the bust
ness is carried on. But no semblance
~
given by the United States government
in its revenue laws or otherwise to begin
or continue such business in any place
contrary to local legislation. A change
has been made in the form of the reve-
nue. stamp issued to retail liquor dealers
as evidence that they have paid such
tax. The new form, which will 90 into
use July next, reads as follows:
United States stamp for special tax; inter
nal revenue. Received from - the sum
of - dollars for special tax on the bust
ness OF retail liquor dealer at -- for the
period represented by the coupon or coupons
hereuEto attached.
And across the face of the stamp is
inscribed the following statement, en-
bracing the substance of section 3243 of
the Revised Statutes:
This stamp is simply a receipt for tax
paid the government, and does not exempt
the holder from any penalty or punishment
provided for by the law of any state for car
rying on the said business within such state.
and does not authorize the commencement
nor the continuance of such business contra
~ to the laws of such state or in places pro-
hibited by municipal law. See section 3243,
Revised Statutes United States.
1t is believed that this action will
leave no ground for further misappre-
hension. Respectfully,
