Mr.. GROVER CLEVELAND and his Mug.
wump friends are requested to send their
names and addresses to 1.-THE Committee OF
Seven" box 1924. Boston, Mass. and to
| subscribe to this declaration OF principles:
| We. tho undersigned. believe that every paper
dollar issued by tho United States Government should
be r"deeable in gold at the option OF Il holder;
believe In tariff for revenue only: demand the
abolition OF the spoils system Finding other part
which advocates these principles. we hereby enroll
ourselves as members OF the Columbian party"
Mr.. CLEVELAND and his Mugwump friends
like to play at enrolment. and Boston is at
least as good place for them us Syra-
cuse. Moreover. the Columbian party, OF
which the Committee OF Seven Is the direc-
tory. was founded by prophetic minded
admirer OF Mr.. CLEVELAND for the purpose
of Offering sanctuary to such refugees
from the Democratic or any other party as
pine for party that means three things.
and means them powerfully. passionately.
and for keeps. Tho mystic numbers 5 and
Z were selected by Mr.. MEANS. tho Arch
Columbian. Us especially appropriate to do
honor to the Prophet Tho Prophet. how
ever. seems to have thought TINT he could
get tho Columbian vote without joining the
Columbian party. That is a mistake. The
Columbians will have nothing to do with
him SO long as ho wastes his time and neg
lccts their principles by fishing for the nomi-
nation OF n party which is interested In
other things than the thrce-plank platform
OF the Columbians.
II Mr.. CLEVELAND Is really consecrated
to his principles. he can't afford to delay
sending In his name to the Committee Of
Seven. He believes or thinks he believes
that tho silver dollar is the root Of all evil,
and the sum Of all vilnines; SO do the
Columbians. He weeps when confronted
by the condition of protective tariff; SO
do they. He regards the spoils system
except when it can DO used to rcnominate
GROVER CLEvELAND-as the unspeakable
sin: so do they. What shame it is. then.
that this vcntripotent hero withholds him
self so long from the outstretched arms of
yearning Columbians. Where else can he
find q body Of friends who will take leap
with him over the falls OF nomination.?
The Columbians have the sense to see
that the Democratic party cannot be Co.
Unbalanced. Every hour that Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND throws away on the hope that the
Democratic party will nominate him. a
Columbian. though as yet an unenrollcd one.
he is wearing out the patience OF his Co.
lumbar friends in Boston. They will not
allow him to triile with their hottest politi-
cal affections much longer. The sensible
and. indeed. the honest thing for him to do
is to give up his striving to get Office from
party which will not devote itself to his
and the Columbians' three principles. II
he will send in his name to the Committee
OF Seven. and make n proper expression
of contrition for dallying so long. the
Columbians will give him their nomination.
Tho Columbans are perfectly willing to be
defeated. The Democracy is not. So tho
Prophet should go to his own place.

| In 1sss and It's accuracy was Justified ut
| the Buffalo Convention in September. when
| all the Mugwump fictions were knocked into
| cooked hat at single blow by the nom
ination OF DAVID b. HILL for Governor on
the first ballot by q unanimous vote.
Four years have elapsed since then. and
Mr.. HILL. having performed the duties OF
the Office OF Governor In q satisfactory man
ner. and having In 1885, 1890. and 1891 led the
party In New York to succession OF VIC
tories. was by the unanimous vote OF all
the Democrats in the Legislature trans
farred from tho field OF state to the hcid OF
national politics. and Is now the candidate OF
the Democracy OF New York for President.
He has the same title. still further strength
ened. to confidence and allegiance that lie
had four years ago when he was the candi-
date for Governor; and again the Mug
wumps are rehearsing their old lies about
him.
What are tho facts2 The Democrats OF
the country. In order to win. must
carry the State Of New York. The
Democrats OF New York perceive this
necessity and nnme as their choice for
the purpose DAVID u. HILL. With him.
they say. We can carry New York. He
has never lost the State; he has
never been beaten as n candidate. His
nomination Is demanded by the party: and
II you select him. New York is sure. Ger
tainly ninety-tive per cent. OF tho Demo-
Gratis OF this State favor and demand the
nomination Of DAVID b. HILL for Prcsi-
dent. Such being tho state Of the case.
why should there be any reason for the
Democratic leaders OF New York city, OF
Kings. Of Rochester. OF Buffalo. Of Elmirn. OF
Troy. or OF any other part OF the State to
betray the champion Of the Democracy?
No more than there was In 1888. 1t could
be done now only with the same result rs
would then have attended such an act OF
cownrdice and surrender: the deposing Of
these Same leaders. or Of any OF them SO
offending, In their respective localities. and
chaos, confusion. disaster. and defeat for
tho Democracy.
The whole Mugwump contingent could
not get the vote OF one delegate In 4S4
against HILL in 1883. They will be unable to
get one delegate In 70 in 1892 Tho longer
an exploded lie is stuck to. tho less it rc-
sembles the truth. HILL and Victory In
1883. HILL and Victory In 1892!

few days ago We commented upon the
religious statistics Of tho State OF Massachu-
sets collected by the Congregationalist Asso-
citation OF the State. and we took occasion to
observe that the Springfield Republican, after
examining these statistics, and giving some
other facts. came to the conclusion that only
about one-half Of the people OF Massachusetts
can now BIO classed as churchgoers.
Tho facts in regard to church attendance IN
the State OF Maine. as presented by President
HYDE "f Bowdoin College. are even moro
astonishing The religious statistics Of mr.
teen counties Of that State have been collected,
and they show that" Of 133.445 families there
resident. G7.S42 are not attendants upon any
church." Is it possible2 Here is papable evil
dence OF the religious decay OF the good old
State of Maine which formerly had popula-
ton as devout as that OF any OF the other States
OF New England. excepting. perhaps. Yer
mont. And the most curious thing about It
all is. that the clergy OF tho State appear to be
apathetc in tho presence OF facts that ought
to brighten them. Even President HYDE fails
to give q satisfactory explanation OF the extra
ordinary change about which he discourses In
his essay upon Impending Paganism In
New England"

WEST POINT.

| WASHINGTON, Juno 14.-The House Commit
tee on Military Affairs has under con side Grafton
| plan to increase the number OF cadets at the
Military Academy by authorizing tho Presi.
| dent to appoint ten cadets each year, instead
Of ten each four years. as now.
| THIS would be merely return to the old
practice. and would be far more judicious
measure than tho proposal to give enoh Som
ator the appointment OF cadet or the other
plans for adding moro than q hundred cadets
to tho Academy. Yet even the very moderate
| increase contemplated by the House Commit
| tee is really not needed.
There arc not TODAY enough yr.nnoies
among the second lieutenants OF the line for
tho class that graduated at West Point last
! Saturday. Yet not only these are to be pro.

The ground for urging an increase in the
cadet force is that there are accommodations

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
Shall Eueiand sad Her Coionies bo Uuited
In an rmP rial Federntiont

| TORONTO, Juno 14-Delcgates depart this
week from almost every Board OF Trade in the
| Dominion to attend the session OF the hsso-
cia.ed Chambers OF Commerce o. tho British
| Empire. which every five years assemblies in
| London. Representatives from every CONNER
ca organization in Great Britain and every
considerable city Of her colonies and DEEPEN
denotes have been appointed so that the as
sembly will include notable gathering OF
practical business mon from oil pnrts OF tho
world. including In addition to Canada, India.
Australia. South Africa and further Asia.
The interest in the coming session is largely
augmented. following SO closely as 1t does on
Lord Salisbury's speech at Hastings. by tho
proposal to discuss the relations hereafter to
exist between Great Britain and her colonies.
This has special reference to their federation.
so as to bo on nm equality with the mother
country, with not only representation In tho
imperial Parliament. but an entire absence OF
tariff between them. with. however. u tariff
against all othor countries
One OF the results Of this proposal would BIO
n discrimination in favor OF the colonies
throughout the British empire against cotton.
wheat and other food products from the
United States. while practical free trade be-
tween England and Canada would follow
This. it is alleged. would enormously stimu-
la,c the agricultural productions in Canada
and increase immigration. and. as Canada
would be the cheapest country In the world to
live In it would necessitate along the whole
northern border Of tho United States Gordon
OF Custom House police to shut out the cheap
goods from Great Britain.
tits claimed that this would be such reversal
OF policy. both by the mother country and her
chief colony. MS to materially alter the rela-
tions existing between the latter and tho
United States. rs this would attach Canada to
the British connection and destroy tho wish for
political union with the United States. and Of
fectually POSTPONE the progress made in favor
OF reciprocal or commercial union on the lines
originally laid down by Er0tus Winan and
adopted by the Canadian Liberal party.
Mr.. Wiman, who. 1t Is understood. departs
this week for London for the special purpose
OF watching these proceedings has applied
for credentials from tho Toronto Board OF
Trade in order to participate in the discussion.
There will be considerable opposition to
granting this application on tho part OF the
Board. as 1t is believed that those who seek to
oblterate the commercial barrier between
Canada and tho United States are disoyal to |
British interests. while. on the other hand. |
there are many who feel that tho conference |
would be incomplete without the attendance |
OF representative who SO thoroughly UNDER |
stands the question with respect to both the |
United States and Canada

We are observing the development OF the
project OF the Continental Guard for cele-
brating the glorious Fourth in becoming
way this year. Thus far nothing more has
been suggested by Commander NORMAN than q
revival of few OF the old-time features Of the
day. PROFESSIONS. music. and speeches. He
proposes to get upa march Of the militia regi-
ments. the Grand Army posts. the ward clubs.
tho political societies. the trade unions. the
brass bands. and other organizations. and to
entertain them with patriotic orations, &C.
ceptable to the members Of oil parties. This
is vol. so far as 1t goes. There used to be
another feature Of tho Fourth OF July celebra-
uons which the Continental Guard might
give thought to. Why not get up a gigantic
out-of-doors municipal picnic. In which hun
dred thousand Of our people. or twice as many.
could participate. under tho American flag
The old-time Fourth Of July picnlcs wore both
merry and patriotic. both festive and inspirit-
ing. Some Of the members OF the Continental
Guard must remember them.
